Project description:Invasive nature and pain caused to patients inhibit the routine use of tissue biopsy-based procedures for cancer diagnosis and surveillance. The analysis of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from biofluids have recently gained significant traction in the liquid biopsy field. EVs offer an essential “snapshot” of their precursor cells in real time and contain information-rich collection of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, etc. The analysis of protein phosphorylation, as a direct marker of cellular signaling and disease progression, could be an important stepstone to successful liquid biopsy applications. Here, we introduce a rapid EV isolation method based on chemical affinity called EVtrap (Extracellular Vesicles Total Recovery and Purification) for EV phosphoproteomics analysis of human plasma. Incorporating EVtrap with high performance mass spectrometry (MS), we were able to identify over 16,000 unique peptides representing 2,238 unique EV proteins from just 5 μL plasma sample, including most known EV markers, with substantially higher recovery levels compared to ultracentrifugation. Most importantly, more than 5,500 unique phosphopeptides representing almost 1,600 phosphoproteins in EVs were identified using only 1 mL of plasma. Finally, we carried out quantitative EV phosphoproteomics analysis of plasma samples from patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease or kidney cancer (RCC), identifying dozens of phosphoproteins capable of distinguishing disease states from healthy controls. The study demonstrates the potential feasibility of our robust analytical pipeline for cancer signaling monitoring by tracking plasma EV phosphorylation.

Project description:Although cancer derived extracellular vesicles (cEVs) are thought to play a pivotal role in promoting cancer progression events, their precise effect on neighboring normal cells is unknown. In this study, we investigated the impact of pancreatic cancer ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) derived EVs on recipient non-tumorigenic pancreatic normal epithelial cells upon internalization. We show that PDAC cEVs increase the proliferation and invasive capability of recipient normal cells. We further demonstrate that cEVs induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) in recipient normal pancreatic epithelial cells within 24 hours. Subsequently, leveraging a layered multi-omics approach, we analyzed EV cargo from a panel of 6 PDAC and 2 normal pancreas cell lines, using multiple EV isolation methods. We found that cEVs were enriched for an array of biomolecules which can induce or regulate ER stress and the UPR, including palmitic acid, sphingomyelins, metabolic regulators of tRNA charging and proteins responsible for protein trafficking and degradation. We further show that palmitic acid, at doses relevant to those found in cEVs, is sufficient to induce ER stress in normal pancreas cells. These results suggest that cEV cargo packaging may be designed to disseminate proliferative and invasive characteristics upon internalization by distant recipient normal cells, hitherto unreported. This study is among the first to highlight a major role for PDAC cEVs to induce stress in recipient normal pancreas cells, that may modulate a systemic response leading to altered phenotypes. For the first time, our study implicates cEV transported palmitic acid as a potential driver in this process. These findings reveal new paths of investigation toward understanding the role of lipids packaged as cEV cargo providing advantage to proliferating tumor cells in promoting cell transformation in the surrounding microenvironment.

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects human B cells and reprograms them to allow virus replication and persistence. One key viral factor in this process is latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A), which has been described as a B cell receptor (BCR) mimic promoting malignant transformation. However, how LMP2A signaling contributes to tumorigenesis remains elusive. By systematically comparing LMP2A and BCR signaling using quantitative phosphoproteomics and transcriptome profiling, we identified molecular mechanisms through which LMP2A affects B cell biology. Consistent with previous literature, we found that LMP2A mimics a subset of BCR signaling events, including tyrosine-phosphorylation of the kinase SYK, the calcium initiation complex consisting of BLNK, BTK, PLC2, and its downstream transcription factor NFAT. However, the vast majority of LMP2A-induced signaling events markedly differed from those induced by BCR stimulation. These included differential phosphorylation of kinases, phosphatases, adaptor proteins, transcription factors such as NFB and TCF3, as well as widespread changes in the transcriptional output of LMP2A-expressing B cells. LMP2A affected apoptosis and cell cycle checkpoints by dysregulating the expression of apoptosis regulators such as Bcl-xL and the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma-associated protein (RB1). Accordingly, LMP2A cooperated with drivers of Burkitt lymphoma, overexpressed MYC and an oncogenic cyclin D3 mutant, by counteracting the pro-apoptotic effects of MYC and by further inhibiting RB1 function to promote cell growth. Our results indicate that LMP2A rewires rather than mimics BCR signaling, promoting a signaling output that predisposes EBV-infected B cells to hyperproliferation and eventual malignant transformation.

Project description:Stem- and progenitor cell transplantation therapy holds great promise for regenerating damaged heart tissue. Several lines of evidence suggest that its efficacy is mainly caused by secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are small, cell-derived lipid bilayer enclosed particles that play a role in intercellular communication through their enrichment in specific components like nucleic acids and proteins. Indeed, cardiac progenitor cell (CPC)-derived EVs have been shown to protect the myocardium against ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the underlying mechanisms for CPC-EV-mediated cardioprotection remain elusive. Here, we utilized the proteomic composition of CPC-EVs released during different culture conditions, to unravel protein-mediated effects of CPC-EVs on the endothelium. CPCs were stimulated with calcium ionophore (ca ion-EVs), previously shown to influence EV release, or vehicle (control-EVs) for 24 hours and EVs were isolated using size exclusion chromatography (SEC). EV concentration and size was assessed using NTA and proteomic composition was profiled using mass spectrometry in triplicate. EVs isolated from SKOV-3 cells were included as a non-stem cell control. Proteomic analysis identified multiple proteins uniquely expressed or enriched in control-EVs compared with ca ion-EVs and SKOV-3 EVs. To better understand the effect that these EVs have on cardioprotection, endothelial cells HMEC-1 were stimulated with CPC-EVs, CaIon-EVs or PBS for 30 min. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and AKT, and wound closure was increased in HMEC-1 after stimulation with CPC-EVs but not with Ca ion-EVs. To gain further detail in the pathway activation in HMEC-1 cells, we also performed (phospho)proteomic analysis of these cells upon EV-stimulation. The proteomic and phosphoproteomic changes derived from EV-stimulation in HMEC-1 were quantified by mass spectrometry and validated the activation of PI3K-AKT-mTOR and (Insulin/IGF-) MAPK signaling pathways.

Project description:Malaria represents a major public health problem in Africa [1]. In the East African highlands, even in high-altitude areas previously considered too cold to support vector population and parasite transmission [2], frequent malaria epidemics have been reported since the 1980M-bM-^@M-^Ys [3]. Plasmodium falciparum infections have been detected in areas as high as 1,600-2,400m above sea level in Africa [4], albeit there is a marked gradient of parasite prevalence along the altitude transect [5-7]. Both the historical absence of malaria in the African highlands and now the intensive malaria control efforts put in place after the recent outbreaks have reduced malaria prevalence and incidence [8], rendering the East African highlands particularly prone to epidemic malaria due to the lack of the protective immunity, and causing significant human mortality amongst all age groups [9]. Therefore, malaria transmission monitoring in the East African highlands becomes a particularly important public health issue.Despite the overall lower immunity of the population in these historically malaria-free areas, the many successive outbreaks since the 1980M-bM-^@M-^Ys may have generated some level of immunity against P. falciparum amongst highland residents. The antibody response to Plasmodium is cumulative and long lasting, developing after repeated exposures to the parasite and persisting for months or years after infection was resolved. The antibody response to Plasmodium varies amongst individuals of different age groups (i.e. toddlers, children and adults) as well as amongst individuals of same age groups from areas of different parasite prevalence [10]. The repertoire of targets of the antibody response also expands after multiple infections, with the number of recognized antigens being correlated to parasite prevalence, age and immunity to clinical malaria [11,12]. Serological studies bring forth indirect evidence of human exposure to the parasite, and can reliably assess its prevalence and transmission intensity in an endemic area [13-15]. However, the vast majority of serological studies of malaria have been, hereto, limited to a small number of the parasiteM-bM-^@M-^Ys antigens. The work we present here is an expansion of the study published by Badu et al. [16], in which the antibody response to the 19kDa fragment of merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP-119) was examined in populations from two endemic areas in the western Kenyan highlands. There, the tremendous variations of malaria transmission intensity in a small spatial scale are caused by substantial differences in altitude, topography and other environmental conditions [6,7,17,18]. We now expand our antibody profiling survey to include 854 P. falciparum proteins by using high-throughput proteomic microarray technology. Protein microarrays have been used to explore the humoral response to P. falciparum in other African settings [19-24], but this is the broadest characterization of the antibody responses of the population of western Kenyan highlands to date. In the present study we: i) determined the serological reactivity against P. falciparum (Pf) in subjects residing in a low transmission area, and detected hotspots of transmission; ii) examined the dynamics of antibody response to hundreds of Pf proteins generated by sera from toddlers, older children and adults residing in two endemic areas differing in transmission intensities, during two distinct malaria seasons, and compared the intensity, breadth and antigenic targets of these responses; and iii) identified candidate Pf antigenic markers that could provide more sensitive serological surveillance to detect micro-geographic variations in malaria transmission levels and differentiate hotspots of infection in low endemic areas. (references provided in the 'readme.txt') Antibody profiling was performed on sera from residents of western Kenyan highlands against Plasmodium falciparum. One-hundred and ten age-stratified serum samples collected during the dry and the wet seasons, from residents of two locations with differing parasite transmission levels (uphill and valley bottom), and 10 unexposed USA controls were probed on a protein microarray displaying 854 unique proteins of P. falciparum.

Project description:Mice were intravenously injected with extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from B16V wt (n=3) or BAG6KO (n=3) cells or with PBS (n=3) as a control for 4 weeks on a weekly basis. Since B-16V melanoma cells colonise the lung upon intravenous injection and referring to current literature, we hypothesise that melanoma EVs alter the (immune-) microenvironment of the lung to prepare a pre-metastatic niche. Based on current literature and own previous experiments identifying BAG6 as an immunoregulatory protein that is also involved in the biogenesis of EVs, we are particularly interested in differences between the immune signature upon wt EV treatment compared to BAG6KO EV treatment.

Project description:The modification of intracellular proteins by monosaccharides of O-linked linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is thought to mediate proteins by regulating protein phosphorylation, either by modifying and modulating protein kinases or by competing with phosphorylation for hydroxyl residues. To provide molecular insight into the pathways regulated by O-GlcNAc that promote survival in basal conditions or during cellular stress, we have utilized SILAC-based quantitative proteomics to carry out comparisons of site-specific phosphorylation in OGT wild-type (WT) and Null cells. Quantitation of the phosphoproteome demonstrated that out of 5,529 serine/threonine/tyrosine phosphorylated sites, 231 phosphosites were upregulated and 133 downregulated in the absence of O-GlcNAc. The data identified widespread changes in the phosphoproteome upon removal of O-GlcNAc, suggesting that O-GlcNAc regulates processes such as the cell cycle, genomic stability, inflammatory responses and lysosomal biogenesis.

Project description:Morphine, a commonly used antinociceptive drug in hospitals, is known to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by first passing through brain endothelial cells. Despite its pain-relieving effect, morphine also has detrimental effects, such as the potential induction of redox imbalance in the brain. However, there is still insufficient evidence of these effects on the brain, particularly on the brain endothelial cells and the extracellular vesicles that they naturally release. Indeed, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized bioparticles produced by almost all cell types and are currently thought to reflect the physiological state of their parent cells. These vesicles have emerged as a promising source of biomarkers by indicating the functional or dys-functional state of their parent cells and, thus, allowing a better understanding of the biological processes involved in an adverse state. However, there is very little information on the mor-phine effect on human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs), and even less on their released EVs. Therefore, the current study aimed at unraveling the detrimental mechanisms of morphine exposure (at 1, 10, 25, 50 and 100 µM) for 24 h on human brain microvascular endothe-lial cells as well as on their associated EVs. Isolation of EVs was carried out using an affini-ty-based method. Several orthogonal techniques (NTA, western blotting and proteomics analy-sis) were used to validate the EVs enrichment, quality and concentration. Data-independent mass spectrometry (DIA-MS)-based proteomics was applied in order to analyze the proteome modu-lations induced by morphine on HBMECs and EVs. We were able to quantify almost 5500 pro-teins in HBMECs and 1500 proteins in EVs, of which 256 and 148, respectively, were found to be differentially expressed in at least one condition. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the “cell adhesion and extracellular matrix remodeling” process and the “HIF1 pathway”, a pathway related to oxidative stress responses, were significantly modulated upon morphine exposure in HBMECs and EVs. Altogether, the combination of proteomics and bioinformatics findings high-lighted shared pathways between HBMECs exposed to morphine and their released EVs. These results put forward molecular signatures of morphine-induced toxicity in HBMECs that were also carried by EVs. Therefore, EVs could potentially be regarded as a useful tool to investigate brain endothelial cells dysfunction, and to a different extent, the BBB dysfunction in patient cir-culation using these “signature pathways”.

Project description:Exosomes are small vesicles with a diameter of approximately 30-140nm. This double-layer phospholipid membrane encapsulates a variety of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, which are produced and released by cells under specific conditions, participating in a large scale of regulatory processes. There is accumulating evidence indicating that exosomes also play an indispensable regulatory function in the central nervous system under physiological and pathological conditions, such as promoting communication between various cells in the blood-brain barrier. In our study, we attempted to obtain exosomes of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (hBMEC) infected by an extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia. coli strain as well as control cells, and mass spectrometry analysis was performed to study the role of encapsulated proteome in central nervous system inflammation caused by bacterial infection. The particle size analysis results show that the size of the exosomes we isolated is mainly distributed between 30-200nm. Tetraspanin TSG101, CD9, and cytoplasmic protein Alix that we selected as positive markers for exosomes were successfully detected, while the negative marker, the endoplasmic reticulum-specific expression protein GRP94, was not found. In summary, the proteomic identification results showed that 1162 common proteins were identified in the two groups of exosomes from control and infected hBMEC, including 59 differentially expressed proteins. (Proteins with expression change more than 2 times or less than 0.5 times and P value less than 0.05 are regarded as differentially expressed proteins). The bioinformatics analysis indicated that differentially expressed proteins are mainly classified into structural molecular activity and constituent of ribosome. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that many proteins are involved in ribosome-related pathways, pathogenic E. coli infections, and PI3K-Akt Signal pathways, etc. The present study laid an important foundation for the subsequent study of exosomal proteins in bacterial infections.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently garnered attention for their participation in host-microbe interactions in Streptococcus pneumoniae infections. However, the effect of pEVs on the disruption of alveolar epithelial barrier remain poorly understood. Our studies focus on EVs produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pEVs), and reveal that pEVs are internalized by alveolar epithelial cells. In vitro, pEVs induce autophagy activation in a dosage-dependent manner and decrease the alveolar epithelial barrier’s trans-epithelium electrical resistance (TEER). In addition, pEV-containing bacterial peotein serine/threonine-protein kinase StkP may act as an activator for Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced autophagy activation. When administered systemically in mice, Streptococcus pneumoniae wild type strain induced acute lung injury, the deletion of stkP deletion strain attenuated this injury. Taken together, pEVs cargos emerge as critical contributors to tissue damage in mammalian hosts.
