Project description:Uncertainties of traditional osteological methods in biological sex estimation can now be overcome with genomic and proteomic analyses. The combination of the three methodologies has been used for a better understanding of gender-related funerary rituals of the Iberian megalithic cemetery of Panoría. As a result, 44 individuals have been sexed including, for the first time, non-adults. Contrary to the male bias found in many Iberian and European megalithic monuments, the Panoría population shows a clear sex ratio imbalance in favour of females, with twice as many females as males. Furthermore, this imbalance is found regardless of the criterion considered: sex ratio by tomb, chronological period, method of sex estimation or age group. Biological relatedness and kinship have been explored as cultural explanations for this female-related bias. The results obtained for Panoría are indicative of a female-centred social structure, in which sex and/or gender would have influenced funerary rites and cultural traditions.

Project description:To understand the molecular basis of distinct pork quality in Chinese indigenous and Western breed, longissimus dorsi samples were collected from three adult Northeastern Indigenous and from three adult Large White. Total RNA was extracted and subjected to porcine Affymetrix Genechip. The study helps to elucidate the genetic mechnism of divergent pork quality and provide the theory basis for selection and genetic improvement of meat quality traits in porcine. Six longissimus dorsi samples were collected from three Northeastern Indigenous and from three Large White. Three Large White were control samples. Total RNA was extracted from each sample.Gene-expression profiling was performed for each RNA sample separately on the GeneChip® Porcine Genome Array at CapitalBio Corporation (Beijing, China).

Project description:We present a study of hepatocellular carcinoma developed on non-fibrotic liver (nfHCC) that combines complementary quantitative iTRAQ-based proteomics and phosphoproteomics approaches. Using both approaches, we analyzed a set of 24 samples (18 nfHCC vs 6 non-tumor liver tissue).

Project description:Methylation of CpG Islands within promoter regions of genes has been associated with gene silencing, suggesting loss of tumor suppressor function and tumorigenesis. The northeastern states of India are leaders in the country for cancers of several sites. Almost no reports are available of any DNA methylation biomarker for oropharyngeal cancers of the northeastern states. The present study aimed to identify targets of CpG hypermethylation and hypomethylation in oropharyngeal cancer prevalent in northeast India. Using Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 450K microarray platform a genome wide screening has been done for differentially methylated genes, including genes not previously implicated in carcinogenesis. Differential gene expression correlated to their methylation status was elaborated using transcriptome profiling. The new genes identified may be used to develop promising panels of DNA Methylation biomarkers for oropharyngeal screening and detection at a very early stage.

Project description:Liquid chromatography (LC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is one of the widely used proteomic techniques to study the alterations occurred at protein level as well as post-translation modifications (PTMs) of proteins that are relevant to different physiological or pathological statuses. The mass spectrometric analysis of peptides digested from proteins (bottom-up proteomics) has emerged as one of the major approaches for proteomics. In this approach, proteins are first cleaved by one or more proteases into peptides for MS analysis and peptides with PTMs are further enriched followed by the LC-MS/MS analysis. To achieve a reproducible and quantitative proteomic characterization, a well-established protease digestion and PTM peptide enrichment protocol is critical. In this study, we developed AUTO-SP, a sample preparation platform providing automated protocols for BCA analysis, protein digestion and PTM enrichment for protein and PTM analyses. We utilized patient-derived xenograft (PDX) breast cancer tumor tissues (basal-like and luminal subtypes) to demonstrate the efficacy of AUTO-SP. The protein amount was quantified and proteins were further digested by using AUTO-SP for each PDX sample. Based on the data-independent acquisition (DIA)-MS data, we observed samples of the same breast cancer subtypes were highly correlated (≥0.98). Additionally, >25,000 phosphopeptides and >14,000 ubiquitinated peptides were identified in the PDX samples when using AUTO-SP for PTM enrichment, while unique pathways were enriched from the differentially expressed ubiquitinated peptides of basal-like and luminal subtypes. AUTO-SP demonstrated its efficacy to provide reliable and reproducible sample preparation procedure for MS-based proteomic and PTM analyses.

Project description:Recently, enamel peptides revealed their critical role in sex classification of old skeletal remains. In particular, the presence of protein AMELY (amelogenin isoform Y) within the enamel dental tissue is restricted to the male sex only, while AMELX (isoform X) can be found in both sexes. AMELY can be easily detected through peptide SM(ox)IRPPY by means of LC-MS/MS and retrieved from ion chromatograms (exact mass [M+2H]+2 440.2233 m/z). In this paper, we exploited the dimorphic features of the amelogenin protein to unravel the sex of the so-called ‘Lovers of Modena’, two Late Antique individuals whose skeletons were intentionally buried hand-in-hand.

Project description:Mismanagement of plastic waste has contributed to plastic pollution in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Therefore, farm animals are likely to consume microplastic (MP) contaminated feed. However, the interactions of MP with the ruminal microbial ecosystem remain poorly understood. This study investigated the interaction of MP within the ruminal ecosystem in vitro using the Hohenheim Gas Test. Different MP variants were applied, reflecting different combinations of five MP species (polylactide, polyhydroxy butyric acid, high-density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene), in two particle size ranges (<125 μm; 125-500 μm) and increasing dosages (from 0 to 70 mg /incubation cylinder) together with ruminal fluid and hay or barley as substrates. Cumulative gas production, pH and dry matter disappearance were determined before analyzing volatile fatty acids, metaproteomics and metabolomics. In the presence of MP, cumulative gas production decreased regardless of the MP 63 species, dose or particle size, while total dry matter degradation increased. Microbial proteins in barley incubations showed lower Bacteroidetes and increasing Firmicutes abundance in the presence of MP and increased activities of the protein groups `replication and repair`, and `translation`, but decreased activities of `carbohydrate metabolism and transport` and `amino acids metabolism`. The data indicated that MP, regardless of their species and particle size, interact with the ruminal microbiome and may be partially degraded in vitro. This suggests a reduction of MP size in the rumen thereby increasing the likelihood to penetrate animal tissues. Future research must confirm the findings in vivo and determine their consequences for animal health and consumer safety.
