Analyses of the brown stain on the Parthenon Centaur head

ABSTRACT: Marbles of Greek origin have been reported to form a brown stain layer, also known as patina or film. Early investigations discovered that this layer is formed by the two calcium oxalate minerals whewellite and weddellite. The origin of this oxalate film is, however, not clear, while one of the hypotheses is that it is a result of bacteria, fungi, or lichen growing on the surface of the marble. The present study characterizes the brown stain from one of the Parthenon marbles in Danish custody using LC-MS-based proteomics aiming to shed light on the possible biological origin of the staining layer. The marbles curated in Copenhagen are particularly interesting because the pieces have been kept indoors since before the onset of the industrial revolution, therefore they have experienced air pollution to a much lesser degree than the marbles still residing at the Acropolis.

Enrichment or depletion? The impact of stool pretreatment on metaproteomic characterization of the human gut microbiota

Project description:Up to date, most metaproteomic studies of the gut microbiota describe the use of stool sample pretreatment methods to enrich for microbial components. However, a specific investigation aimed at assessing if, how and to what extent this may impact on the final taxonomic and functional results is still lacking. Here, stool replicates were either pretreated by differential centrifugation (DC) or not centrifuged (NC). Protein extracts were then processed by filter-aided sample preparation, single-run LC and high-resolution MS, and the metaproteomic data were compared by spectral counting. DC led to a higher number of identifications, a significantly richer microbial diversity, as well as to reduced information on the non-microbial components (host and food) when compared to NC. Nevertheless, dramatic differences in the relative abundance of many gut microbial taxa were also observed, including a significant change in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. Furthermore, several microbial functional categories, including cell surface enzymes, membrane-associate proteins, and flagella, were significant reduced after DC. In conclusion, this work underlines that a critical evaluation is needed when selecting the appropriate stool sample processing protocol in the context of a metaproteomic study, depending on the specific target to which the research is aimed.

Expression data from mouse macrophages after being cultured on different surfaces

Project description:The adverse macrophage-mediated immune response elicited by the bioinert surface of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is responsible for the formation of fibrous encapsulation and inferior osseointegration for PEEK implants in the dental and orthopedic fields. A nanoporous thin film constructed by layer-by-layer technique was deposited on PEEK surface, and it can effectively suppress the acute inflammatory response of macrophages. However, the underlying molecular mechanism why macrophages respond differently on the modified surface is unknown. We used microarrays to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms why macrophages respond differently on the modified surface of PEEK.

The functional potential of high Arctic permafrost

Project description:The fate of the carbon stocked in permafrost soils following global warming and permafrost thaw is of major concern in view of the potential for increased CH4 and CO2 emissions from these soils. Complex carbon compound degradation and greenhouse gas emissions are due to soil microbial communities, but their composition and functional potential in permafrost soils are largely unknown. Here, a 2 m deep permafrost and its overlying active layer soil were subjected to metagenome sequencing, quantitative PCR, and microarray analyses. The active layer soil and 2 m permafrost soil microbial community structures were very similar, with Actinobacteria being the dominant phylum. The two soils also possessed a highly similar spectrum of functional genes, especially when compared to other already published metagenomes. Key genes related to methane generation, methane oxidation and organic matter degradation were highly diverse for both soils in the metagenomic libraries and some (e.g. pmoA) showed relatively high abundance in qPCR assays. Genes related to nitrogen fixation and ammonia oxidation, which could have important roles following climatic change in these nitrogen-limited environments, showed low diversity but high abundance. The 2 m permafrost soil showed lower abundance and diversity for all the assessed genes and taxa. Experimental biases were also evaluated and showed that the whole community genome amplification technique used caused large representational biases in the metagenomic libraries. This study described for the first time the detailed functional potential of permafrost-affected soils and detected several genes and microorganisms that could have crucial importance following permafrost thaw. A 2m deep permafrost sample and it overlying active layer were sampled and their metagenome analysed. For microarray analyses, 8 other soil samples from the same region were used for comparison purposes.

16S rRNA analysis from wild type mice that were either fed or not with western diet for 3 generations

Project description:We found that western diet consumption resulted in decrease in the percentage of normal Paneth cell population in wild type mice, indicating that western diet could negatively affect Paneth cell function. Subsequent generations of western diet consumption further reduced percentages of normal Paneth cell population. We performed fecal microbiota composition profiling. Male mice were used at 4-5 weeks of age. Fecal samples were collected for microbiome analysis.

16S rRNA sequencing of fecal samples from Atg16l1 T300A and wildtype littermate mice that were exposed to mainstream cigarette smoking co-housed with mice from the same genotype but not exposed to cigarette smoking

Project description:We found that mainstream cigarette smoking (4 cigarettes/day, 5 days/week for 2 weeks using Kentucky Research Cigarettes 3R4F) resulted in >20% decrease in the percentage of normal Paneth cell population in Atg16l1 T300A mice but showed minimal effect in wildtype littermate control mice, indicating that Atg16l1 T300A polymorphism confers sensitivity to cigarette smoking-induced Paneth cell damage. We performed cohousing experiments to test if Paneth cell phenotype is horizontally transmissible as is microbiota. Atg16l1 T300A and littermate controls that were exposed to cigarette smoking were used as microbiota donors, and these donor mice were exposed to smoking for 2 weeks prior to cohousing. Separate groups of Atg16l1 T300A and littermate controls that were not exposed to cigarette smoking were used as microbiota recipients. The microbiota recipients were co-housed with microbiota donors of the same genotype for 4 weeks, during this period the donors continued to be exposed to cigarette smoking. Cigarette smoking was performed using smoking chamber with the dosage and schedule as described above. At the end of the experiment, the fecal microbiota composition was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing.

Transcription profiling of tomato - regeneration of epicuticular fruit wax

Project description:Mature green fruits of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivar MicroTom were investigated (fruit developmental category II). For removal of the epicuticular wax layer a thin film of 1 g ml-1 aqueous gum arabic (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) as a fixative was applied to the fruit surface. After 1 h the dried polymer including the outermost epicuticular waxes was mechanically removed. This procedure was repeated once. During this experiment the tomato fruits remained on the tomato plant. Untreated (0 days) and gum arabic stripped tomato fruits harvested 2 days after treatment were compared. Samples contained exclusively the fruit peel, which was removed with a scalpel to a depth of approximately 1 mm. After sampling point the plant material was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 C until use.
