Proteomic Analysis of Human Conjunctival Cells and Tears Collected with Schirmer Strips Using TimsTOF Pro

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the human tear proteins extracted from whole (W) Schirmer strips (ScS) and their two parts, the bulb (B) and the rest of the strip (R) with a comprehensive proteomic approach using a trapped ion mobility mass spectrometer, the timsTOF Pro. Eight ScS were collected from two healthy subjects at 4 different visits to be separated into three batches: 4W, 4B and 4R. In total, 1582 proteins were identified in the W, B and R batches. Among all iden-tified proteins, binding proteins (43.4%) and those with catalytic activity (42.2%) constituted more than 80% of the molecular functions. The most represented biological processes were cel-lular processes (31.2%), metabolic processes (20.8%) and biological regulation (13.1%). Enzymes were the most represented protein class (41 %), consisting mainly of hydrolases (47.5%), oxi-doreductases (22.1%) and transferases (16.7%). The bulb (B), which is in contact with the conjunc-tiva, might collect both tear and cell proteins and therefore promote identification of more pro-teins. Processing B and R separately before MS analysis, combined with the high data acquisition speed and the addition of ion-mobility-based separation in timsTOF Pro, can bring a new dimension to biomarker investigations of a limited sample such as tear fluid.

Genome-wide maps of histone modifications unwind in vivo chromatin states of the hair follicle lineage

Project description:Mouse hair follicles (HFs) undergo synchronized cycles. Cyclical regeneration and hair growth is fueled by stem cells (SCs). During the rest phase, the HF-SCs remain quiescent due to extrinsic inhibitory signals within the niche. As activating cues accumulate, HF-SCs become activated, proliferate, and grow downward to form transient-amplifying matrix progenitor cells. We used microarrays to detect the relative levels of global gene expression underlying the states of hair follicle stem cells and their transient-amplifying progeny before differentiation. Quiescent hair follicle stem cells (qHF-SCs), activated hair follicle stem cells (aHF-SCs) and transient-amplifying matrix cells (HF-TACs) were FACS-purified for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To obtain homogeneous populations of expression profiles, we applied the FACS technique to purify SC and TACs according to their cell surface markers.

New schwann cell markers identified by gene profiling analysis after axonal contact

Project description:Elucidating the genes regulated during cell-cell communication remains fascinating considering the importance of cell recognition and downstream signaling through development and in many diseases. In the peripheral nervous system, the interaction between Schwann cells (SCs) and axons is crucial as it allows their survival and induces SCs to differentiate and engage a process of myelination. To get further insight the molecular mechanisms resulting from this cell interaction, comparative gene analysis between SCs and SCs co-cultured with DRG neurons were performed and led us to identify a set of 32 genes regulated in SCs in the early stage of neuron-SC contact. Expression of several candidates were analyzed by QPCR during development and we demonstrate using a blocking antibody approach in an in vitro myelination assay that one candidate was not only upregulated in response to axonal contact but also controls peripheral myelination. Three biological replicates each in dye swap for 22k slides and two biological replicates each in dye swap for NeuroDev2

Genome-wide maps of histone modifications unwind in vivo chromatin states of the hair follicle lineage [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Mouse hair follicles undergo synchronized cycles. Cyclical regeneration and hair growth is fueled by stem cells (SCs). During the rest phase, the HF-SCs remain quiescent due to extrinsic inhibitory signals within the niche. As activating cues accumulate, HF-SCs become activated, proliferate, and grows downward to form transient-amplifying matrix progenitor cells. We used ChIP-seq to reveal the genome-wide maps of histone modifications underlying the states of hair follicle stem cells and their transient-amplifying progeny before differentiation. Quiescent hair follicle stem cells (qHF-SCs), activated hair follicle stem cells (aHF-SCs) and transient-amplifying matrix cells (HF-TACs) were FACS-purified for ChIP-sequcencing.

Schwann cell plasticity regulates neuroblastic tumor cell differentiation

Project description:The remarkable plasticity of Schwann cells (SCs) is essential for nerve regeneration but also contributes to neuropathies and cancer progression. It has not yet been investigated whether the adaptive potential of SCs is manifested in stromal, tumor associated SCs characteristically found within a benign subtype of neuroblastic tumors (NBTs). We here performed transcriptome profiling of human NBTs, rich and poor in SC stroma, as well as human injured nerves, rich in repair SCs, revealing that stromal SCs exhibit a repair SC characteristic gene expression signature. In turn, primary repair SCs had a pro-differentiating and anti-proliferative effect on NBT cell lines after direct and trans-well co-culture. Within the pool of secreted stromal/repair SC factors, we identified EGFL8, a matricellular protein with so far undescribed function, to induce neuronal differentiation of aggressive NBT cells. EGFL8 expression further correlated with favorable tumor stage and increased patient survival. Our findings suggest that stromal SCs exert nerve repair associated functions in the tumor-environment and underline the therapeutic value of SC-derived factors for aggressive, SC stroma-poor NBTs.

Barley guard cell and subsidiary cell specific transcripts

Project description:We prepared RNA from total leaves and epidermal peels, containing living guard cells (GC) and subsidiary cells (SC) only. In the third sample we blended epidermal peels to mechanically destroy the SC, leading to a pure guard cells fraction. By RNAseq and substraction of GC from SC transcripts, we were able to reliably assign transcripts to the barley SCs and GCs.

Potential tear biomarkers for the early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease- A pilot study

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. The purpose of this study was to analyze the profile of the tear proteome of patients with idiopathic PD (iPD), carriers of the E46K-SNCA mutation and healthy subjects (CT) and to identify biomarkers for the early diagnosis of PD. An observational, prospective and case-control pilot study was carried out in 24 patients with iPD, 3 carriers of the E46K-SNCA mutation and 27 CT subjects. The patients' neurological involvement was scored and their tear samples were analyzed using nano-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (nLC-MS/MS). These analyses led to the identification of 560 tear proteins in which some of the deregulated proteins were involved in immune response, apoptosis, collagen degradation, protein synthesis, defense and altered lysosomal function. Of these proteins, six related to neurodegenerative processes, showed a good capacity to classify patients and controls. These findings revealed that some proteins were upregulated in the tears of PD patients, mainly those involved in lysosomal function. It is worth highlighting the importance of this study in identifying tear proteins implicated in neurodegeneration and its relationship with PD patients with an aggressive disease phenotype.

Synchro-PASEF slices peptide precursors enabling specific fragment extraction and interference removal in data independent acquisition

Project description:Data independent acquisition methods have become increasingly popular in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics because they enable parallel and continuous acquisition of fragment spectra. However, these advantages come with the challenge of correctly reconstructing the precursor-fragment relationship in these highly multiplexed spectra for reliable identification and quantification. Here we introduce a scan mode for the combination of trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) with parallel accumulation – serial fragmentation (PASEF) that naturally and continuously follows the ion cloud in ion mobility and peptide mass dimensions as opposed to the step functions we employed before. Termed synchro-PASEF, it increases fragment yield several fold at sub-second cycle times. The quadrupole selection window moves synchronously through the mass and ion mobility range, deconvoluting the DIA spectra and defining precursor-quadrupole relationships. In this process, the quadrupole slices through the peptide precursors, which separates fragment ion signals of each precursor into adjacent synchro-PASEF scans. This precisely defines precursor – fragment relationship in ion mobility and mass dimensions. Importantly, the two parts of the fragment ion transitions in synchro-PASEF provide a further dimension of specificity via a lock and key mechanism. This is especially advantageous for quantification, where signals from interfering precursors in the dia selection window only affect the top or bottom part of the fragment ion, allowing them to be filtered out. In this paper, we establish the defining features of synchro-PASEF and explore its potential for proteomics analyses.

microRNA expression data from human corneal epithelial cells exposed to media, human tear, media + P. aeruginosa antigens, tear + P. aeruginosa antigens

Project description:Exposure to tear fluid can enhance corneal epithelial cells' ability to resist bacterial virulence mechanisms by upregulating epithelial-derived innate defense genes. The aim of this study was to further elucidate the mechanisms by which tear fluid modulates epithelial cell susceptibility to P. aeruginosa internalization and the relationship to known to be upregulated genes with tear fluid exposure. The hypothesis tested was that tear fluid effects on epithelial cells involve the induction of microRNA expression to modify innate defense gene responses to bacterial challenge. Human corneal epithelial cells were incubated in either 40 ul of fresh human tear fluid or high calcium KGM without antibiotics for 16 hours before extraction or before incubation with P. aeruginosa antigens for 3 h then extraction.

Activating transcription factor 6 is necessary and sufficient for alcoholic fatty liver disease in zebrafish

Project description:ATF6 is a key regulator of the unfolded protein response. Through use of zebrafish and cultured cells we demonstrate that ATF6 drives fatty liver disease by interaction with fatty acid synthase (FASN). Total small RNA from livers of 5 dpf larval zebrafish were collected: 2 batches of Tg(fabp10:nls-mCherry) control larvae, 2 batches of ethanol-treated Tg(fabp10:nls-mCherry) larvae, and 1 batch of Tg(fabp10:nAtf6-cherry; cmlc2:GFP). Each batch was purified for preparation of high-throughput sequencing libraries.
