Project description:The English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae, is a major agricultural pest of wheat, barley and oats, and is a major vector of Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) leading to reductions in grain yield. RNA-seq data from a genotype (SA3) was generated from heads and bodies, and from winged and unwinged aphids. The primary goal was to generate evidence for genome annotation, and the secondary goal was to compare expression of genes between head and body, and also between winged and unwinged aphids.

Project description:Glucocorticoids are part of the therapeutic armamentarium of chronic lymphocytic leukemia where it has been suggested that cells with unmutated IGHV genes exhibit higher sensitivity. The mechanisms by which glucorticoids are active in CLL are not well elucidated. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying dexamethasone differential activity according to the prognostic subgroups mutated IGHV genes / low ZAP-70 expression and unmutated IGHV genes / high ZAP-70 expression. We aimed to ascertain the molecular mechanisms that are influencing the diffferential response to this drug. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients were obtained. Samples were split in two for control and incubation with dexamethasone for 6 hours. RNA was extracted and processed for further hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitors that can be isolated from different sources, such as the bone marrow, adipose tissue and umbilical cord. The therapeutic potential of MSCs is related to a plethora of immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and pro-repair actions, which are at least partially dependent on their secretome. Among the components of MSCs' secretome, EVs have received considerable attention because MSC-EVs exert similar therapeutic properties as their parent cells. Among the different MSC sources for EV production, human umbilical cord MSCs (hUCMSCs) show advantages such as tissue availability, high proliferative profile of the cells and potential beneficial therapeutic effects in a variety of different diseases, such as stroke This study aimed to provide novel insights for future hUCMSC-EVs research and treatment selection. We investigated the influence of the culture and harvesting conditions on the EV proteomic profile, productivity, surface markers expression and evaluated their in vivo biodistribution and toxicity.

Project description:Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is in direct contact with the brain and serves as a valuable specimen to examine diseases of the central nervous system through analyzing its components. These include the analysis of metabolites, cells as well as proteins. For identifying new suitable diagnostic protein biomarkers bottom-up data-dependent acquisition (DDA) mass spectrometry-based approaches are most popular. Drawbacks of this method are stochastic and irreproducible precursor ion selection. Recently, data-independent acquisition (DIA) emerged as an alternative method. It overcomes several limitations of DDA, since it combines the benefits of DDA and targeted methods like selected reaction monitoring (SRM). We established a DIA method for in-depth proteome analysis of CSF. For this, four spectral libraries were generated with samples from native CSF (n=5) CSF fractionation (15 in total) and substantia nigra fractionation (54 in total) applying to CSF DIA of three replicates. The DDA and DIA methods for CSF were conducted with the same nanoLC parameters using a 180 minute gradient. Compared to a conventional DDA method, our DIA approach both increased the number of identified protein groups with 1574 compared to DDA with 648 over 50 % with a comprehensive spectral library (generated with DDA measurements from five native CSF and 54 substantia nigra fractions) and decreased the coefficient of variation to 6 %, compared to 11 % with a DDA method. We also could show that a sample specific spectral library generated only from native CSF increased the identification reproducibility from three DIA replicates to 90 % (77 % with a DDA method). Moreover, by utilizing a substantia nigra specific spectral library for CSF DIA over 60 brain-originated proteins could be identified compared to only eleven with DDA. In conclusion, the here presented optimized DIA method substantially outperforms DDA and could develop into a powerful tool for biomarker discovery in CSF.

Project description:Nucleostemin (NS; product of the GNL3 gene) is a nucleolar/nucleoplasm shuttling GTPase whose levels are high in stem cells while rapidly decreasing upon differentiation. NS levels are also high in several solid and hematological neoplasms, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). While a role in telomere maintenance, response to stress stimuli and in favoring DNA repair has been proposed in solid cancers, little or no information is available as to the role of nucleostemin in AML. Here we investigate this issue with a proteomics approach. We use as a model system the OCI-AML 3 cell line harboring a heterozygous mutation at the NPM1 gene, which is the most frequent driver mutation in AML (approximately 30% of total AML cases). We show that NS is highly expressed in this cell line but, contrary to what previously shown in other cancers, its presence is dispensable for cell growth and viability. However, proteomics analysis of OCI-AML 3 cell line before and after nu-cleostemin (NS) silencing showed several effects in different biological functions as highlighted by ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA). In particular, we report an effect in down-regulating DNA repair through homologous recombination and we confirmed higher DNA damage rate in OCI-AML 3 cells when NS is depleted, which considerably increases upon stress induced by the topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide.

Project description:Identification of natural human leukocyte antigen (HLA) ligandome is a key element to understand the cellular immune responses. Advanced high throughput mass spectrometry analyses identify a relevant, but not complete, fraction of the many tens of thousands of self-peptides generated by the antigen processing in live cells. In infected cells, in addition to this complex HLA ligandome, a minority of peptides from degradation of the few proteins encoded by the viral genome are also bound to HLA class I molecules. In this study, the standard immunoproteomics strategy was modified to include the classical acid stripping treatment after virus infection to enrich the HLA ligandome in virus ligands. Complexes of HLA-B*27:05-bound peptide pools were isolated from vaccinia virus (VACV)-infected cells treated with acid stripping after virus infection. The HLA class I ligandome was identified using high throughput mass spectrometry analyses, yielding 42 and 52 natural peptides processed and presented in untreated and after acid stripping treatment VACV-infected human cells, respectively. Most of these virus ligands were identified in both conditions, but a relevant fraction of VACV ligands detected by mass spectrometry was dependent of acid stripping treatment with almost twice more exclusive viral ligands that the untreated VACV-infected condition. Theoretical binding affinity prediction of the VACV HLA-B*27:05 ligands and acute antiviral T cell response characterization in the HLA transgenic mice model showed no differences between HLA ligands identified under the two conditions: untreated and acid stripping condition. These findings indicated that acid stripping treatment could be useful to identify HLA class I ligands from virus-infected cells.

Project description:Canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CCDS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder found in senior dogs. Due to the lack of biological markers, CCDS is commonly underdiagnosed. The aim of this study was to identify potential plasma biomarkers using proteomics techniques and to increase our understanding of the pathogenic mechanism of the disease. Plasma amyloid beta 42 (Aβ42) has been seen to be a controversial biomarker for CCDS. Proteomics analysis was performed for protein identification and quantification. The nano-LC-MS/MS data revealed that the predictive underlying mechanism of CCDS was the co-occurrence of inflammation-mediated acute phase response proteins and complement and coagulation cascades that partly functioned by apolipoproteins and lipid metabolism. Some of the differentially expressed proteins may serve as potential predictor biomarkers along with Aβ42 in plasma for improved CCDS diagnosis.
