Project description:To study V-gene usage among antigen-specific and non-antigen-specific serum IgA antibodies in celiac disease patients, purified antibody fractions were subjected to proteomic analysis. Patients either had eastablished, untreated disease with severe intestinal inflammation or "potential" celiac disease characterized by presence of antibodies but no or mild inflammation. Quantification of the fraction of antibodies using different IGHV segments revealed that antibodies specific to the autoantigen transglutaminase 2 (TG2) displayed a bias toward usage of IGHV5-51 in agreement with previous observations. The fraction of antibodies using IGHV5-51 correlated with the degree of intestinal inflammation, indicating that production of hallmark IGHV5-51 anti-TG2 antibodies coincides with onset of clinical celiac disease.

Project description:Serum autoantibodies targeting the SSA/Ro proteins are a key component of the classification criteria for the diagnosis of Sjögren’s syndrome (SS). Most patient serum reacts with both Ro60 and Ro52 proteins. Here we compare the molecular and clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with SS with anti-Ro52 in the presence or absence of anti-Ro60/La autoantibodies. Patients in the SS biobank at Westmead Hospital that were positive for anti-Ro52 were included and stratified based on the absence (isolated) or presence (combined) of anti-Ro60/La, measured by line immunoassay. We examined clinical associations and the serological and molecular characteristics of anti-Ro52 using ELISA and mass spectrometry in serological groups. A total of 123 SS patients were included for study. SS patients with isolated anti-Ro52 (12%) identified a severe serological subset characterised by higher disease activity, vasculitis, pulmonary involvement, rheumatoid factor (RhF) and cryoglobulinaemia. Anti-Ro52 IgG titre was correlated with RhF. Serum antibodies reacting with Ro52 in the isolated anti-Ro52 subset displayed less isotype switching, less immunoglobulin variable region subfamily usage and a lower degree of somatic hypermutation than the combined anti-Ro52 subset. In our cohort of SS patients, isolated anti-Ro52 represents a severe subset of SS, and is independently associated with the presence of cryoglobulinaemia. We therefore provide clinical relevance to the stratification of SS patients by their sero-reactivities. It is possible that the autoantibody patterns may be immunological epiphenomena of the underlying disease process, and further work is required to unearth the mechanisms of the differential clinical phenotypes.

Project description:Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a transmembrane mucin expressed at the apical surface of epithelial cells at different mucosal surfaces including breast and intestine. The MUC1 extracellular domain contains a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) of 20 amino acids, which are heavily O-linked glycosylated. Monoclonal antibodies against the MUC1 VNTR can be powerful tools because of their multiplicity of binding and possible applications in the diagnosis and treatment of MUC1-expressing cancers. One such antibody is the hybridoma mouse monoclonal 139H2 which is also widely used as a research tool to study non-cancer MUC1. Here we report direct mass spectrometry-based sequencing of hybridoma-derived 139H2 IgG, which enabled reverse engineering of a recombinant 139H2.

Project description:The discovery of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 1989 revealed the virus as the etiology of 40%-90% of the “essential” mixed cryoglobulinemia, where immune complex forms deposit called cryoprecipitate at temperatures below 37 °C. Cryoprecipitate constitutes monoclonal IgM and polyclonal IgG, some of which has reactivity against HCV core and NS3 epitopes. Resultant immune complex is considered entrapped on microvascular endothelium via C1q receptor, leading to complement activation and organ injury presenting predominantly as dermopathy, peripheral neuropathy and nephropathy. However, currently little is known on whether auto-reactive, cold-precipitating IgG components enriched in cryoprecipitate may play some role on the deposition of immune complex and subsequent complement-mediated injury of specific organs. Recently, with the advent of high-throughput immune repertoire sequencing and mass spectrometry, technical feasibility is growing to delineate antibodies of interest and their sequences directly from serum. To date, vast majority of studies actually utilized the antigen column for affinity purification of antibodies of interest, although this strategy is not applicable to disease entity with unknown antigen involvement. In such cases, disease-specific and organ-specific immune deposits may be a good alternative source of etiological antibodies. Herein, targeting HCV cryoglobulinemic vasculitis as a model, we conducted a proof-of-concept study aiming at characterizing the IgG components most prone to cryoprecipitation. To this end, we longitudinally studied one patient with cryoglobulinemic vasculitis with chronic HCV infection. After obtaining informed consent, cryoprecipitate and supernatant were separated from peripheral blood sample. Fab fragments from Protein G-purified IgG were recovered after papain digestion for isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ)-based quantitative proteomics. Simultaneously, total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood, and immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IGHV) was PCR-amplified with unique molecular identifier (UMI) strategy to construct a personal IGHV sequence library of immunoglobulin variable region. Sequencing output from MiSeq was bioinformatically converted into mass spectrometry database. Search was performed using MaxQuant software.

Project description:Mammals differ more than hundred fold in maximum lifespan, which can be altered in either direction during evolution, but the molecular basis for natural changes in longevity is not understood. Divergent evolution of mammals also led to extensive changes in gene expression within and between lineages. To understand the relationship between lifespan and variation in gene expression, we carried out RNA-seq-based gene expression analyses of liver, kidney and brain of 33 diverse species of mammals. Our analysis uncovered parallel evolution of gene expression and lifespan, as well as the associated life history traits, and identified the processes and pathways involved. These findings provide direct insights into how Nature reversibly adjusts lifespan and other traits during adaptive radiation of lineages. RNA-seq gene expression profiling in normal liver, kidney and brain of 33 mammalian species.

Project description:A novel approach to recover and identify immune complexes (ICs) was developed using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and affinity chromatography on immunoglobulin binding columns (HiTrap Protein G). The purification process was monitored by 1D SDS-PAGE, protein staining, Western blotting and, finally, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS) was used to identify the recovered antigens. This approach was applied to serum with artificially created immune complexes (ICs) comprising vaccine antigen (influenza) and antibody, which led to recovery and identification of influenza peptides within the recovered ICs. This approach was compared with the established method for IC detection and recovery, polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation, followed by LC MS/MS. Both approaches successfully enabled capture, recovery and characterization of immunoglobulins and influenza antigen(s) in complex with the immunoglobulins. However, PEG precipitation has the advantage of simplicity and is more suited for large scale studies.

Project description:Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) is an aphid-borne, RNA virus in the Luteoviridae that causes significant loss to potato production worldwide. Precision methods to block virus infection in plants or the transmission of a virus by the insect represent new approaches to virus disease management and require an in depth knowledge of the protein interactions used by viruses in their plant hosts and aphid vectors. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of using an inexpensive, bead-free assay to identify plant proteins that interact with wild-type (WT) and PLRV mutant form. Comparison of host and viral proteins identified as enriched ³2-fold in both WT and mutant experiments using the bead-free method revealed a ~65% overlap with proteins identified as forming high-confident interactions with PLRV using antibody coated-magnetic beads with 19 of these proteins also detected as significant interactions in the bead-free assay. An additional 18 virus-host interactions were only identified in the bead-free assay. Two prey proteins, a 14-3-3 signal transduction protein and malate dehydrogenase 2, were identified as having a weakened or lost association with the mutant form of the virus in both immunoprecipitation assays, showing that the method is sensitive enough to detect quantitative differences between different, yet closely related viral bait proteins. Collectively, our analysis shows that the bead-free platform is a low-cost alternative that can be used by core facilities and other investigators to reproducibly identify plant and viral proteins interacting with virions.

Project description:Cancer somatic mutations can generate neoantigens that distinguish malignant from normal cells. Such neoantigens have been implicated in response to immunotherapies including immune checkpoint blockade, yet their identification and validation remains challenging. Here we discover neoantigens in human mantle cell lymphomas using an integrated strategy for genomic and proteomic tumor antigen discovery that interrogates peptides presented within the tumor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules. We applied this approach to systematically identify neoantigen peptides in diagnostic tumor specimens from 17 patients. Remarkably, the 52 discovered neoantigenic peptides were invariably derived from the lymphoma immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy or light chain variable regions. Although we could identify MHC presentation of private germline polymorphic alleles, no mutated peptides were recovered from non-Ig somatically mutated genes. The immunoglobulin variable region somatic mutations were almost exclusively presented by MHC-II. We found T-cells specific for an immunoglobulin-derived neoantigen in the blood of a patient using MHC-II tetramers, and these T-cell clones expanded in frequency following tumor vaccination. These results demonstrate that an integrative approach combining MHC isolation, peptide identification and exome sequencing is an effective platform to uncover tumor neoantigens. Application of this strategy to human lymphoma implicates immunoglobulin neoantigens as targets for lymphoma immunotherapy.

Project description:Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) might be an alternative to increase nitrogenous use efficiency (NUE) in important crops such wheat. Azospirillum brasilense is one of the most promising PGPB and wheat roots colonized by Azospirillum brasilense is a good model to investigate the molecular basis of plant-PGPB interaction including improvement in plant-NUE promoted by PGPB. An RNA-seq transcriptional analysis of Triticum aestivum roots was carried out in two independent samples (biological replicates) of each treatment (PGPB-colonized or non-inoculated), yielding a total of 4 sequencing libraries, which were designated CWR1 and CWR2 libraries (colonized roots) and N-IWR1 and N-IWR2 (non-inoculated roots).
