Project description:Peripheral nerve injuries due to physical insults or chronic diseases are quite common, yet no pharmacological therapies are available for the effective repair of injured nerves. The slow growth rate of adult nerves and insufficient access to growth factors pose major hurdles in timely reinnervating target tissues and restoring functions after nerve injuries. A better understanding of the molecular changes that occur during the immediate regenerative reprogramming of neurons, stated here as in vivo priming, following nerve injury may reveal ideal candidates for future therapies. Hence, molecular profiling of neuronal soma within the first week of nerve injury has been the gold standard for revealing molecular candidates critical for nerve regeneration. A complementary in vitro regenerative priming approach was recently shown to induce enhanced outgrowth in adult sensory neurons. In this work, we exploited the in vitro priming model to reveal novel candidates for adult nerve regeneration. We performed the whole tissue proteomics analysis of in vitro primed DRGs and compared their molecular profile with that of the in vivo primed, and control DRGs. Through this approach, we identified several commonly and uniquely altered molecules in the in vitro and in vivo primed DRGs that have the potential to modulate adult nerve regrowth. We further validated the growth inducing potential of mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF), one of the hits identified in our proteomics analysis, in primary adult sensory neurons. Overall, this study showed that in vitro priming partially reproduces the molecular features in in vivo primed adult sensory neurons. The shortlisted candidates presented here from the two priming approaches may serve as potential therapeutic targets for adult nerve regeneration.

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the alteration of intracellular proteome of MCF-7 cells following membrane permeabilization by sumaCTX at increasing concentration, using a label-free quantitative (LFQ) approach. The secretome represents the leakage of intracellular proteins in MCF- 7 cells were subjected to trypsin digestion and LC-MS/MS. Based on the LFQ secretome, there was a total of 105 distinct abundance proteins (DAPs) identified in different experimental groups. Further bioinformatics analyses revealed that most of these DAPs were confined to cytoplasmic, nucleus, and membrane. The DEPs involved in metabolic pathways, membrane integrity, inflammatory responses, and necroptosis. There were relatively higher detectable levels of DAPs in the secretome treated with a higher concentration of sumaCTX, suggesting prominent membrane permeabilization. The necroptosis was possibly a stress response in MCF-7 upon exposure to the high concentration of sumaCTX.

Project description:Cyclopropanes-functionalized hydrocarbons are excellent fuels. however, their synthesis is challenging and harmful for the environment. In this work we produced polycyclopropanated fatty acids in bacteria. These molecules can be easily converted into renewable fuels for high energy applications such as shipping, long-haul transport, aviation, and rocketry. We explored the chemical diversity encoded in the genome of thousands of bacteria to identify and repurpose naturally occurring cyclopropanated molecules. We identified a set of candidate iterative Polyketide Synthases (iPKSs) predicted to produce polycyclopropanated fatty acids (POP-FAs), expressed these PKSs in Streptomyces coelicolor and produced the POP-FAs. We determined the structure of the molecules and increased their production 22-fold. Polycyclopropanated fatty acid methyl esters (POP-FAMEs) were obtained by methyl esterifying the POP-FAs. Finally, we calculated the enthalpy of combustion of several POP fuel candidates to assess their potential as replacement for fossil fuels in energy demanding applications. Our research shows that POP-FAMEs and other polyketide derived POPs have the energetic properties for energy demanding applications for which sustainable alternatives are scarce.

Project description:Mycobacteria have the ability to adapt to stressful infection conditions by entering a reversible state of non-replicating persistence (NRP) characterized by slow or no cell growth and increased tolerance to various antimicrobial agents. While hypoxia and nutrient deprivation are commonly used to study this NRP state, there is limited understanding of the molecular distinctions in how mycobacteria adapt to these different stresses to achieve a similar NRP outcome. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of Mycobacterium bovis BCG's response to starvation, shedding light on a coordinated metabolic shift away from glycolysis during nutrient-rich growth to the depletion of lipid stores, lipolysis, and fatty acid ß-oxidation during NRP. Interestingly, this response differs from BCG's NRP state under hypoxia, where it shifts towards cholesterol metabolism and triglyceride storage. Our investigation also unveiled hidden metabolic vulnerabilities in the NRP state induced by starvation, notably an increased sensitivity to H2O2. These findings open up possibilities for the development of precise therapeutic approaches against these otherwise challenging-to-treat pathogens.

Project description:Beta-cells produce hybrid insulin peptides (HIPs) by linking insulin fragments to other peptides through peptide bonds. HIPs have unique amino acid sequences and are targeted by autoreactive T cells in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Individuals with recent-onset T1D have significantly higher levels of HIP-reactive T cells in their blood compared to non-diabetic control subjects. HIP-reactive T cells have also been found in the residual pancreatic islets of deceased T1D organ donors. In non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, a major T1D animal model, several CD4 T cell clones that trigger diabetes have been shown to target HIPs. Through mass spectrometry, a subgroup of HIPs containing N-terminal amine groups of various peptides linked to aspartic acid residues of insulin C-peptide has been detected in NOD islets. Our research reveals that these HIPs form spontaneously in beta-cells via an aspartic anhydride intermediate mechanism. This process leads to the creation of a regular HIP with a standard peptide bond and a HIP-isomer (isoHIP) with an isopeptide bond linked to the carboxylic acid side-chain of the aspartic acid residue. Our mass spectrometric analyses confirmed the presence of both HIP isomers in murine islets, thereby validating the occurrence of this new reaction mechanism in beta-cells. The spontaneous formation of neoepitopes through the development of new peptide bonds within cells may contribute to the pathogenesis of T1D and other autoimmune diseases.

Project description:Potential miR-202 targets were identified using a targetome-wide RIP-based microarray. HeLa cells were transfected with either a miR-202 mimic or a scrambled single-stranded RNA negative control. RNA was isolated from total cell lysate prior to IP and from antibody-immobilized Protein G agarose beads-RNP complexes (post-IP). Ribonucleoprotein IP was performed using the RIP-Assay kit for microRNA (MBL) according to the protocol described by the manufacturer. Briefly, anti-EIF2C2/Ago2 monoclonal antibody (Novus Biologicals, LLC) was incubated with Protein G plus agarose beads (Pierce) at 4M-BM-0C overnight to prepare antibody-immobilized beads. 20 million cells were harvested and washed four times with ice-cold DEPC-treated PBS. The cell pellet was lysed with 500 M-NM-<l of lysis buffer and the supernatant was incubated with Protein G agarose beads without antibody to reduce nonspecific adsorption. The cell lysate was then transferred into a tube containing antibody-immobilized Protein G agarose beads and incubated for 3 hours at 4M-BM-0C. Genome-wide expression levels were analyzed in total RNA samples from total cell lysate and antibody-immobilized Protein G agarose beads-RNP complexes from cells transfected with miR-202 mimic or negative control using the Agilent 44K 60-mer human whole-genome microarray. Signal hybridization and scans were performed by MOGene, LC (St Louis, MO) (run in biological duplicate). The normalized signal intensities of probes from RNP-bead complexes (post-IP fraction) were divided by the signal intensities from total cell lysate (pre-IP fraction) in miR-202 mimic-transfected cells. Transcripts were identified as members of the global miRNA targetome if they exhibited an enrichment fold change > 2.0. From this list, post-IP to pre-IP signal intensity ratios in miR-202 mimic-transfected cells were divided by post-IP to pre-IP signal intensity ratios in NC cells. Transcripts exhibiting normalized signal ratios of > 1.5 were considered to be bound with miR-202 in the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), and therefore potential direct miR-202 targets.

Project description:Precision medicine requests accurate serological inspections to precisely stratify patients for targeted treatment. Intact transition epitope mapping analysis proved seroconversion of a model organism's serum when spiked with a monoclonal murine anti-ovalbumin antibody with epitope-resolution. Isolation of the IgG fraction from blood serum applied two consecutive protein precipitation steps followed by ultrafiltration and resulted in an ESI-MS analysis-ready IgG preparation. For epitope mapping by epitope extraction, the ovalbumin antigen was digested with trypsin. After desalting, the peptide mixture was added to the ESI-MS-ready IgG preparation from converted serum and the solution was incubated to form an immune complex between the ovalbumin-derived epitope peptide and the anti-ovalbumin antibody. Then, the entire mixture of proteins and peptides was directly electrosprayed. Sorting of ions in the mass spectrometer's gas phase, dissociation of the immune complex ions by collision induced dissociation, and recording of the epitope peptide ion which had been released from the immune complex revealed the presence of the anti-ovalbumin antibody in converted serum. Mass determination of the complex-released epitope peptide ion with isotope resolution is highly accurate, guaranteeing high specificity of this novel seroconversion analysis approach which is termed Intact Transition Epitope Mapping – Serological Inspections by Epitope EXtraction (ITEM – SIX).
