Project description:Fasciola hepatica, commonly known as liver fluke, is a trematode which causes Fasciolosis in ruminants and humans. The outer tegumental coat of F. hepatica is a complex metabolically active biological matrix that is continually exposed to the host immune system. It is highly glycosylated and parasite-derived immunogenic oligosaccharide motifs and glycoproteins are currently being investigated as novel vaccine candidates. We selectively enriched for FhTeg mannosylated glycoprotein subsets using lectin affinity chromatography and identified 369 proteins by mass spectrometric analysis.

Project description:Performing gastric bypass surgery on patients severely changes their gut hormone response to glucose. The plasma concentrations of Insulin and a number of associated incretin peptides are significantly raised shortly after ingestion of glucose. Typically the plasma concentrations of these peptides are monitored using immunoassays. A simple and high throughput plasma peptidomics approach was used to simulatneously monitor a large number of these peptides. Comparison of gastresctomised and control individuals showed significant increases of insulin, glucagon gene products, PYY and neurotensin.

Project description:Barbervax is the first and only available vaccine to protect animals against Haemonchus contortus - one of the most pathogenic parasites of small ruminants. This vaccine contains a kind of native antigen called H11, a glycoprotein complex derived from integral gut of this parasite. Native H11 has been shown to induce high levels (72-95%) of protection, but single or two recombinant molecules of H11 are consistently unsuccessful. An increasing number of aminopeptidases related to H11 have been characterized in the past three decades, but little is known about which ones are the key contributors to protective immunity. Our recent work has revealed that the immunoprotective effect of H11 is primarily associated with its N-glycan moieties. To identify key immunoprotective glycoproteins derived from H11 antigen, we employed glycan-related protective IgG antibodies combined with LC-MS/MS analysis and identified five glycosylated H11 proteins: H11, H11-1, H11-2, H11-4, and H11-5. Subsequently, we utilized the baculovirus-insect cell expression system and successfully expressed four H11 recombinant proteins including rH11, rH11-1, rH11-2 and rH11-4, which demonstrated similar aminopeptidase activity and comparable high-mannose and di-fucosylated N-glycan structures to those found on native H11. Immunisation of goats with a cocktail of four rH11s induced a 66.29% reduction (p > 0.05) in total worm burden and cumulative faecal egg counts. High level of anti-rH11s IgG which could inhibit H. contortus intestinal aminopeptidase activity and larval development. Collectively, our study identified glycoprotein antigens from H11 and assessed their protective efficacy of a recombinant cocktail expressed in insect cells. This work will provide valuable insights into further development of recombinant vaccines against parasitic nematodes.

Project description:Recently, we have shown that disturbed flow caused by partial ligation of mouse carotid artery rapidly induces endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis within two weeks. To understand the molecular mechanisms by which disturbed flow induces atherosclerosis, we carried out genome-wide microarray study using endothelial RNAs isolated from the flow-disturbed left and the contralateral right common carotid artery (LCA and RCA) in C57BL/6 mice. Total intimal RNAs were obtained from LCA and RCA at 12hr and at 48hr post-ligation. Intimal RNAs from three LCAs or RCAs were pooled to obtain ~30ng total RNA.

Project description:Coordinated migration of B cells within and between secondary lymphoid tissues is required for robust antibody responses to infection or vaccination. Secondary lymphoid tissues normally expose B cells to a low O2 (hypoxic) environment. Recently, we have shown that human B cell migration is modulated by an O2-dependent molecular switch, centrally controlled by the hypoxia-induced (transcription) factor-1a (HIF1A), which can be disrupted by the immunosuppressive calcineurin inhibitor, cyclosporine A (CyA). However, the mechanisms by which low O2 environments attenuate B cell migration remain poorly defined. Proteomics analysis has linked CXCR4 chemokine receptor signaling to cytoskeletal rearrangement. We now hypothesize that the pathways linking the O2 sensing molecular switch to chemokine receptor signaling and cytoskeletal rearrangement would likely contain phosphorylation events, which are typically missed in traditional transcriptomic and/or proteomic analyses. Hence, we have performed a comprehensive phosphoproteomics analysis of human B cells treated with CyA after engagement of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 with CXCL12. Statistical analysis of the separate and synergistic effects of CyA and CXCL12 revealed 116 proteins whose abundance is driven by a synergistic interaction between CyA and CXCL12. Among these 116 proteins, Lymphocyte Specific Protein 1 (LSP1) was most interesting due to its original identification as a protein modulating neutrophil migration. We used our previously described algorithm BONITA to reveal a critical role for LSP1 in cytoskeletal rearrangement. Validating these modeling results, we show experimentally that LSP1 levels in B cells increase with low O2 exposure, and CyA treatment results in decreased LSP1 protein levels. This correlates with the increased chemotactic activity observed after CyA treatment. Lastly, we directly link LSP1 levels to chemotactic capacity, as shRNA knock-down of LSP1 results in significantly increased B cell chemotaxis at low O2 levels. These results directly link the CyA to LSP1-dependent cytoskeletal regulation, demonstrating a previously unrecognized mechanism by which CyA modulates human B cell migration.

Project description:Abstract Introduction Several environmental stimuli may influence lupus, especially viral infection. We utilize an imiquimod-induced lupus mouse model focusing on TLR7 pathway and use proteomics analysis to figure out the specific pathway related to viral infection and its related protein expressions in splenic B cells, hoping to get an insight on B cell responses to viral infection in lupus model. Material and methods. FVB/N wild type mouse was used treated with imiquimod for 8 weeks to induce lupus symptoms and signs, and splenocytes were retrieved, and B cells were selected and conducted proteomic analysis. The B cells were co-cultured with CD40L+ feeder cells for another one week before Western blot analysis. Panther pathway analysis was used to disclose the pathways activated and protein-protein interactome analyzed by STRING database in this lupus murine model. Results. The lupus model is well established and well demonstrated with serology evidence and pathology proof of lupus-mimic organ damage. Proteomics data of splenic B cells revealed the most important pathways activated (fold enrichment >100) were positive regulation of MDA-5 signaling pathway, negative regulation of IP-10 production, negative regulation of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 production and positive regulation of RIG-I signaling pathway. A unique protein-protein interactome containing 10 genes was discovered, within which ISG15, IFIH1, IFIT1, DDX60, and DHX58 have been demonstrated to be downstream effectors of MDA5 signaling. Finally, B cells intracellular cytosolic proteins were determined with Western blot experiment and the MDA5-related pathway activation is still evident. Conclusion. In this experiment, we confirmed that the B cells in lupus murine model focusing on TLR7 pathway were activated through MDA5 signaling pathway, an important RNA sensor implicated in the detection of viral infections and autoimmune. The MDA5 agonists/antagonist RNAs and detailed molecular interactions inside B cells are worthy further investigation for lupus therapy.

Project description:The members of the group of Pro-Pro endopeptidases (PPEPs) are secreted bacterial endoproteases that display a unique preference for hydrolyzing their substrates between two proline residues. The active site cleft of PPEPs accommodates the six substrate residues P3 to P3’, and the interactions between these and the protease sites S3 to S3’ determine PPEP specificity beyond the scissile Pro-Pro peptide bond. In this study, we have characterized the substrate specificity of PPEP-3 from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus thermodenitrificans in detail using synthetic combinatorial peptide libraries in combination with LC-MS/MS analyses. There is a stark difference for the P2 and P2’ positions compared to PPEP-1: instead of Asn and Val at P2, either Ser or basic residues are preferred, while Pro is almost exclusively tolerated at P2’. In the crystal structure of substrate-bound PPEP-3, most notably Tyr161 and Phe191, which differ from the corresponding residues in PPEP-1 (histidine and leucine, respectively), greatly influence the P2 and P2’ specificity. By correlating the substrate specificity profile to the structure, we explore the various mechanisms that determine PPEP-3 specificity and highlight differences with other PPEPs.

Project description:A group of bacterial proteases, the Pro-Pro endopeptidases (PPEPs), possess the unique ability to hydrolyze proline-proline bonds in proteins. Since a protease’s function is largely determined by its substrate specificity, methods that can extensively characterize substrate specificity are valuable tools for protease research. Previously, we achieved an in-depth characterization of PPEP prime-side specificity. However, PPEP specificity is also determined by the non-prime-side residues in the substrate. To gain a more complete insight into the determinants of PPEP specificity, we characterized the non-prime- and prime-side specificity of various PPEPs using a combination of synthetic combinatorial peptide libraries and mass spectrometry. With this approach, we deepened our understanding of the P3-P3’ specificities of PPEP-1 and PPEP-2, while identifying PPEP-2’s endogenous substrate as the most optimal substrate in our library data. Furthermore, by employing the library approach, we investigated the altered specificity of mutants of PPEP-1 and PPEP-2. Additionally, we characterized a novel PPEP from Anoxybacillus tepidamans, which we termed PPEP-4. Based on structural comparisons, we hypothesized that PPEP-4 displays a PPEP-1-like prime-side specificity, which was substantiated by the experimental data. Intriguingly, another putative PPEP from Clostridioides difficile, CD1597, did not display Pro-Pro endoproteolytic activity. Collectively, we characterized PPEP specificity in detail using our robust peptide library method and, together with additional structural information, provide more insight into the intricate mechanisms that govern protease specificity.
