Project description:Abstract: Bacteria adapt to the constantly changing environments largely by transcriptional regulation through the activities of various transcription factors (TFs). However, techniques that monitor the in situ TF-promoter interactions in living bacteria are lacking. Herein, we developed a whole-cell TF-promoter binding assay based on the intermolecular Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a fluorescent unnatural amino acid CouA which is genetically encoded into defined sites in TFs and the live cell fluorescent nucleic acid stain SYTO 9. We show that this new FRET pair monitors the intricate TF-promoter interactions elicited by various types of signal transduction systems with specificity and sensitivity. Furthermore, the assay is applicable to identify novel modulators of the regulatory systems of interest and monitor TF activities in bacteria colonized in C. elegans. In conclusion, we established a tractable and sensitive TF-promoter binding assay in living bacteria which not only complements currently available approaches for DNA-protein interactions but also provides novel opportunities for functional annotation of bacterial signal transduction systems and studies of the bacteria-host interface

Project description:Background & Aims: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a pivotal role in connecting tumor cells and their local and distant microenvironment. Here, we aimed to understand the role and molecular basis of patient-derived EVs in modulating cancer stemness and tumorigenesis in the context of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: EVs were isolated, quantified and characterized from patients’ sera. EVs were tested vigorously, both in vitro and in vivo, by various functional assays. Proteomic analysis was performed to identify the functional components of EVs. The expression level of polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) in circulating EVs, tumor and non-tumorous tissues of HCC patients was determined by ELISA, immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry and quantitative PCR. The functional role and underlying mechanism of EVs with an enhanced pIgR expression was elucidated. Blockage of EV-pIgR with neutralizing antibody was performed in nude mice implanted with patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDTX). Results: Circulating EVs of late-stage HCC (L-HCC) patient had significantly elevated pIgR expression when compared to the EVs released by control individuals. The augmenting effect of L-HCC patient in cancer stemness and tumorigenesis was hindered by anti-pIgR antibody. EVs enriched with pIgR consistently promoted cancer stemness and cancerous phenotypes in the recipient cells. Mechanistically, EV-pIgR-induced cancer aggressiveness was abrogated by Akt and β-catenin inhibitors, ascertaining the role of EV-pIgR through the activation of PDK1/Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling axis. Furthermore, anti-pIgR neutralizing antibody attenuated the tumor growth in mice implanted with PDTX. Conclusion: The study illustrates an unrevealed role of EV-pIgR in regulating cancer stemness and aggressiveness, in which EV-pIgR activates PDK1/Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling cascades. The blockage of intercellular communications mediated by EV-pIgR in the tumor microenvironment may provide a new therapeutic strategy for cancer patients.

Project description:Omentum conditioned medium (OCM) is known to enhance ovarian cancer oncogenesis. In this study, miR-33b exerts tumor suppressive effects on ovarian cancer cells in response to omentum conditioned medium (OCM) treatment. To identify the molecular mechanism and main biological pathways involved in the tumor inhibiting activity by miR-33b in the ovarian cancer metastasis. To achieve this, miR-33b was stably overexpressed in ovarian cancer cell line ES-2, and the protein expression profile of miR-33b overexpressing ES-2 cells upon OCM treatment was determined.

Project description:Over the last two decades, mounting evidence has demonstrated the aberrant expression of miRNAs in different human malignancies, including ovarian carcinomas. In this study, we found that miR-141 were secreted by ovarian cancer cells and transferred to the stromal cells by exosomal pathway. To clarify the mechanisms that miR-141 remodeling stromal fibroblast and reprogramming the relevant signals, miR-141 were overexpressed in WPMY-1 and their respective scrambled control were send for proteomic analysis.

Project description:Background: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), the most common valve disease is comprised of a chronic interplay of inflammation, fibrosis, and calcification. In this study, sortilin (SORT1) was identified as a novel key player in the pathophysiology of CAVD, and its role in the transformation of valvular interstitial cells (VICs) into pathological phenotypes is explored. Methods: An aortic valve (AV) wire injury (AVWI) mouse model with sortilin deficiency was used to determine the effects of sortilin on AV stenosis, fibrosis and calcification. In vitro experiments employed human primary VICs cultured in osteogenic conditions for 7, 14 and 21 days; and processed for imaging, proteomics, transcriptomics and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Results: The AVWI mouse model showed reduced AV fibrosis, calcification, and stenosis in sortilin-deficient mice versus littermate controls. We identified the transition of human VICs into a myofibroblast-like phenotype mediated by sortilin and p-38 MAPK signaling. Sortilin loss-of-function decreased in vitro VIC calcification. ScRNA-seq identified 12 differentially expressed cell clusters in human VIC samples, where a novel combined inflammatory myofibroblastic-osteogenic VIC (IMO-VIC) phenotype was detected with increased expression of SORT1, COL1A1, WNT5A, IL-6 and SAA1. VICs sequenced with sortilin deficiency showed decreased IMO-VIC phenotype. Conclusions: Sortilin promotes experimental CAVD by mediating valvular fibrosis and calcification, and newly identified phenotype (IMO-VIC). This is the first study to examine the role of sortilin in aortic valve calcification and it may render it a therapeutic target to inhibit IMO-VIC emergence by simultaneously reducing inflammation, fibrosis, and calcification, the three key pathological processes underlying CAVD.

Project description:Human plasma is one of the most widely used tissues in clinical analysis, and plasma-based biomarkers are used for monitoring patient health status and/or response to medical treatment to avoid unnecessary invasive biopsy. Data driven plasma proteomics has suffered from a lack of throughput and detection sensitivity, largely due to the complexity of the plasma proteome, and in particular the enormous quantitative dynamic range, estimated to be between 9-13 orders of magnitude between the lowest and highest abundance protein. A major challenge is to identify workflows which can achieve depth of plasma proteome coverage, while minimizing the complexity of sample workup and maximizing sample throughput. In this study, we have performed intensive depletion of high abundant plasma proteins or enrichment of low abundant proteins using Hu6, Hu14 and ProteoMiner followed by SDS PAGE and C18 prefractionation techniques. We compared the performance of each of these fractionation approaches to identify the method which satisfies requirements for analysis of clinical samples, and to include good plasma proteome coverage in combination with reasonable sample output. In this study, we have reported that gel-based prefractionation approaches can replace expensive and time-consuming chromatographic separation, thereby significantly accelerating analysis time. In addition, we showed that a variety of methodologies can achieve similarly high proteome coverage, allowing flexibility depending on project specific needs. These considerations are important in the effort to accelerate plasma proteomics research so as to provide efficient, reliable and accurate diagnoses for the population as a whole.

Project description:In an effort to identify novel drugs targeting fusion-oncogene induced acute myeloid leukemia (AML), we performed high-resolution proteomic analysis. In AML1-ETO (AE) driven AML we uncovered a deregulation of phospholipase C (PLC) signaling. We identified PLCgamma 1 (PLCG1) as a specific target of the AE fusion protein which is induced after AE binding to intergenic regulatory DNA elements. Genetic inactivation of PLCG1 in murine and human AML inhibited AML1-ETO dependent self-renewal programs, leukemic proliferation, and leukemia maintenance in vivo. In contrast, PLCG1 was dispensable for normal hematopoietic stem- and progenitor cell function. These findings are extended to and confirmed by pharmacologic perturbation of Ca++-signaling in AML1-ETO AML cells, indicating that the PLCG1 pathway poses an important therapeutic target for AML1-ETO positive leukemic stem cells.

Project description:Plasma biomarkers that identify abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture risk would greatly assist in stratifying patients with small aneurysms. Identification of such biomarkers has hitherto been unsuccessful over a range of studies using different methods. The present study used an alternative proteomic approach to find new, potential plasma AAA biomarker candidates. Pre-fractionated plasma samples from twelve patients with AAA and eight matched controls without aneurysm were analyzed by mass spectrometry applying a tandem mass tag (TMT) technique. Eight proteins were differentially regulated in patients compared to controls, including decreased levels of the enzyme bleomycin hydrolase. The down-regulation of this enzyme was confirmed in an extended validation study using an ELISA assay. The TMT-based proteomic approach thus identified novel potential plasma biomarkers for AAA.
