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: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:CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene-editing allows manipulation of a gene of interest in its own chromosomal context. When applied to the analysis of protein interaction, and in contrast to an exogenous expression of a protein, these can be studied maintaining physiological stochiometries, topology and context. We have used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated recombination to Cluap1/ IFT38, a component of the intraflagellar transport complex B (IFT-B). Cluap1 has been implicated in human development as well as in cancer progression. Cluap1 loss of function results in early developmental defects with neural tube closure, sonic hedgehog signaling and left-right defects. Herein, we generated an endogenously tagged Cluap1 for protein complex analysis which was then correlated to the corresponding interactome determined by ectopic expression.

Project description:N-glycosylation is an essential post-translational modification (PTM) of human milk proteins for the promotion of infant health. N-glycosylation is relevant regarding proteolytic susceptibility and functions as a competitive inhibitor of pathogen binding and immunomodulators. Due to the individual uniqueness of human milk, the overall complexity and temporal changes of N-glycosylation, the analysis for site-specific information of this PTM must take these factors into consideration. Here we demonstrate, by adapting the automated platform and hydrophilic-interaction chromatography (HILIC)-based cartridge with 150 μg of milk protein digestion, that proteome-wide N-glycopeptides can be reproducibly enriched in technical triplicates and biological samples across lactation. With higher energy c-trap dissociation (HCD) triggered electron-transfer/higher-energy collision dissociation (EThcD), we were able to map, to our knowledge, the most comprehensive human milk N-glycoproteome to date. We found 1697 glycopeptides from 110 glycoproteins and 191 glycosites of which 43 novel sites were not yet reported in experimental evidence. We next quantified the glycopeptides in targeted monitoring mode with scheduled selective ion monitoring (SIM) and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). Co-trending HCD fragment ions enabled us to pinpoint the MS1 extracted ion chromatogram (XIC) of intact glycopeptide. In a 90 min gradient, we could measure 318 glycopeptides from 51 glycoproteins, catching at least 10 data points in their chromatographic peaks. We observed distinctive quantitative site-specific glycosylation trends, indicating the potential of specific temporal changes associated with functions that support the developing infant’s health.

Project description:Eukaryotic ribosomal RNA carries diverse posttranscriptional modifications, among which the evolutionarily conserved 2’-O-methylation (2’-O-Me) occurs at more than 100 sites and is essential for ribosome biogenesis. Plasticity of 2´-O-Me in ribosomes and its functional consequences in human disease are not yet known. Here, we present the full rRNA 2’-O-Me landscape (ribomethylome) of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through profiling 94 patient samples as well as 21 normal hematopoietic samples of 5 different lineages. While interior modification sites in functional centers are persistently fully 2’-O-methylated in human AMLs, methylation on ribosome exterior sites is unprecedentedly dynamic. Higher 2’-O-methylation on exterior dynamic sites is associated with leukemia stem cell (LSC) signatures. Forced expression of enzymatically active but not of the catalytic defect 2’-O-methyltransferase FBL induces AML stemness and accelerates leukemogenesis in patient-derived xenografts. Mechanistically, ribomethylome dynamics shifted mRNA ribosome translation preferences. High rRNA 2’-O-Me enhances translation of amino acid transporters enriched in optimal codons and subsequently increases intra-cellular amino acid levels. Methylation on a single exterior modification site affects leukemia stem cell activity. The Guanosine 1447 on the small subunit ribosomal RNA is the most variable site in primary AMLs. Gm1447 is increased in leukemia stem cell populations compared to non-leukemogenic blast cells and AML specimens with higher Gm1447 are enriched for leukemia stem cell genes. Comparison of Gm1447high and Gm1447low ribosome structure solved by cryo-electron microscopy demonstrated disassociation of LYAR from Gm1447low ribosomes. Suppression of Gm1447 alone is sufficient to suppress translation of amino acid transporters, resulting in decreased cellular amino acid levels and leukemia stem cell activity. Taken together, our data reveal the dynamic FBL-mediated rRNA 2'-O-Me landscape as a novel epitranscriptomic level of control employed by leukemic stem cells and may enable new strategies to target human AML.

Project description:Cross-presentation of exogenous antigens in HLA-class I molecules by professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) is crucial for CD8+ T cell function. Recent murine studies show that several non-professional APCs, including cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) also possess this capacity. It is currently unknown whether human CAFs are able to cross-present exogenous antigen, which molecular pathways are involved in this process and how this ultimately affects tumor-specific CD8+ T cell function. Here we show that human colorectal cancer (CRC)-derived CAFs display an enhanced capacity to cross-present neoantigen-derived synthetic long peptides (SLPs) when compared to normal colonic fibroblasts. Importantly, cross-presentation of antigens required the lysosomal protease Cathepsin S. Cathepsin S expression by CAFs was detected in situ in human CRC tissue, was upregulated in ex vivo cultured CRC-derived CAFs and showed increased expression in normal fibroblasts after exposure to CRC-conditioned medium. Cognate interaction between CD8+ T cells and cross-presenting CAFs suppressed T cell function, reflected by decreased cytotoxicity, reduced activation (CD25, CD137) and increased exhaustion (TIM3) marker expression. Our data indicate that CAFs may directly suppress tumor-specific T cell function in an antigen-dependent fashion in human CRC.
