Project description:Extracellular proteins play key roles in microbial biofilm and aggregate formation, yet remain poorly understood. Using two advanced metaproteomic techniques, this study identified and classified 387 extracellular proteins potentially involved in aggregate formation, including filamentous and cell surface proteins from various organisms. The findings suggest that diverse proteins from multiple organisms support the granular biofilm formation in the investigated Ca. Accumulibacter enrichment, providing a valuable resource for studying the scope of extracellular proteins.

Project description:Mating is a complex process that causes many behavioral and physiological changes, but the factors triggering these changes and the underlying molecular processes are not well characterized. Honey bee queens provide a convenient system for dissecting these factors (e.g., physical manipulation, insemination volume, insemination substance) via instrumental insemination. We examined the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2), a commonly used anesthetic in instrumental insemination that causes changes similar to those observed after mating, and physical manipulation, which presumably mimics the act of copulation, on the brain transcriptional changes in honey bee queens. We found significant gene overlap between our study and previous mating studies in honey bee queens and Drosophila. This suggests that molecular pathways regulating the mating process are conserved across different mating regimes of honey bees as well as across insect orders.

Project description:Protein complexes are responsible for the bulk of activities within the cell, but how their behavior and abundance varies across tumors remains poorly understood. By combining proteomic profiles of breast tumors with a large-scale protein-protein interaction network, we have identified a set of 285 high-confidence protein complexes whose subunits have highly correlated protein abundance across tumor samples. We used this set to identify complexes that are reproducibly under- or over-expressed in specific breast cancer subtypes. We found that mutation or deletion of one subunit of a co-regulated complex was often associated with a collateral reduction in protein expression of additional complex members. This collateral loss phenomenon was typically evident from proteomic, but not transcriptomic, profiles suggesting post- transcriptional control. Mutation of the tumor suppressor E-cadherin (CDH1) was associated with a collateral loss of members of the adherens junction complex, an effect we validated using an engineered model of E-cadherin loss.

Project description:Aeromonas are ubiquitous inhabitants of both natural and anthropogenic aquatic ecosystems. Occasionally, Aeromonas also grows in drinking water distribution systems, which is highly undesired due to the pathogenicity of some members of this genus. The growth of Aeromonas in such highly oligotrophic environments is currently poorly understood. Possible nutrient sources are biopolymers. For example, chitin is the structural component of the exoskeleton of insects, some invertebrates and the cell walls of fungi which makes it one of the most abundant carbon and nitrogen sources in nature. In this study we demonstrate the ability of two Aeromonas strains, Aeromonas bestiarum and Aeromonas rivuli to efficiently grow on chitin. The secreted proteins confirm the presence of the functional hydrolytic enzymes that enable the efficient degradation and utilization of this abundant biopolymer. Further quantitative cellular proteomic study unravels the remarkable reorganization of the Aeromonas metabolism when switching to chitin as sole carbon and nitrogen source. This proves that Aeromonas is not only chitinolytic but also a chitinotrophic microorganism.

Project description:The human hair proteome offers new insight in the field of human identification. Hair often contains DNA that has been degraded due to the process of cornification. The smaller fragments of DNA present a challenge for obtaining useful information concerning the identity of the donor. Proteomic genotyping offers an alternative approach which starts with protein, a biomolecule abundant in the hair shaft. Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms may be detected in the sequence of these proteins, allowing the inference of SNP genotypes. Population genetics-based information from these genotypes may be used to calculate random match probability or even infer ancestry. The current challenge of this research is to optimize processing chemistry in order to maximize genetic information from a single human hair shaft. Results indicate that optimal conditions for proteomic analysis of a single human hair include 6 hrs of reduction with 100 mM dithiothreitol at room temperature, alkylation with 200 mM iodoacetamide for 45 min, and 6 hrs of digestion with two 1:50 (enzyme:protein) additions of stabilized trypsin at room temperature, with stirring incorporated into all three steps. Our final conditions using optimized temperatures and incubation times for disulfide reduction and protein digestion produced random match probabilities of up to 1 in 624 million from a single hair with a median value of 1 in 1.1 million, compared to a maximum random match probability of 1 in 1380 and a median value of 1 in 24 for the original processing method.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM), the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, presents significant challenges due to its universal recurrence and limited survival rates. A key driver of GBM progression is the subpopulation of brain tumor-initiating cells (BTICs), which contribute to therapy resistance and interact with the tumor microenvironment, particularly the cellular components in the subventricular zone (SVZ). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are critical mediators of intercellular communication, carrying bioactive molecules, such as proteins and RNAs, that can modulate the behavior of recipient cells. This study investigates the role of EVs in GBM's communication with non-cancer cells. We utilized the proximity-labeling system TurboID to achieve global and unbiased labeling of proteins within GBM-derived EVs. By inducing TurboID expression in primary-cultured human BTICs from GBM patients, we achieved efficient biotinylation of EV proteins without compromising vesicle integrity, and performed proteomic analysis of biotinylated proteins, which revealed a diverse cargo within BTIC-EVs. Our method marks the first implementation of TurboID for unbiased global labeling of EV protein cargo in primary cells. This approach facilitates the investigation of EV-mediated communication and potential therapeutic targets, contributing to the understanding of GBM's complex interactions with the brain's microenvironment, and identification of biomarkers for improved diagnosis and treatment response.

Project description:Sexual reproduction in flowering plants involves intimate interactions between the growing pollen tube and the female reproductive structure. These interactions start immediately after pollen landing on the stigma and continue during the pollen tube journey through the style and the ovary. Thus, well before fertilization, genes in the gynoecium are affected by the growing pollen tubes. Genes activated at a distance in the ovary before pollen tubes arrival represent one class of such genes. Using a global transcriptomic approach, expression profiles obtained from compatible (SC), incompatible (SI), semi-compatible (SeC) and interspecific (IS) pollinations revealed that these pollinations are perceived differently from a distance in the ovary. As the pollen tubes grew along the style, more and more genes became specific for each pollination type, although even early on when no difference could be observed in pollen tube growth rates, each pollination type already displayed its specific signature. Wounding experiments as well as methyl jasmonate treatment were also conducted to determine if transmitting tissue cell death caused by pollen tube growth in the style could also activate gene expression at distance in the ovary. Our data suggest that pollen tube growth in the style is at least partially perceived as a wounding aggression, and that a SI pollination is more akin to a wound response than the other pollination type tested, suggesting similarities in the signaling pathways controlling pollen recognition and stress responses. More importantly, our transcriptomic analysis reveals a highly specific recognition of various pollination types that is relayed from a distance to the ovary ahead of fertilization. To determine on a more global scale if interorgan communication during pollen-pistil interactions is a widespread phenomenon and does not only involve few specialized genes, we used a 7.7K cDNA microarray comprising ~6500 ovule-derived unigenes in duplicata from Solanum chacoense, a self-incompatible wild potato species (Germain et al., 2005), to conduct gene expression analyses through cDNA microarray hybridizations. Profiles obtained from compatible (SC), incompatible (SI), semi-compatible (SeC) and interspecific (IS) pollinations as well as from wounding treatments were all analyzed using the same minimal expression level critera (p < 0.05, fold change ≥± 1.5). Four independent biological replicates were produced from each time points. Ovules were collected at 6, 24 and 48 hours after each treatment and used for RNA extraction and probe preparation . compatible (SC), incompatible (SI), semi-compatible (SeC) and interspecific (IS) pollinations as well as from wounding treatments mRNA preparations were individually hybridized against unpollinated ovule mRNAs . All data was substracted from the touch control. Althought Methanol treated ovules RNA were hybridized against unpollinated ovule mRNAs from plant in closed chamber. To estimate reproducibility and to produce control data for statistical analysis, a large number of unfertilized ovules were isolated and separated between seven independent control groups. RNA from randomly selected pairs of control was hybridized on six microarrays.

Project description:Despite advances in immunotherapy, non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC)’s clinical success is limited, possibly due to substantial immunological alterations in advanced cancer patients. This study examines the immunomodulatory effects of sEVs derived from lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on T cells. Methods: SEVs were isolated from lung cancer cell lines and Jurkat-E6.1. SEV size and morphology were analysed by NTA and TEM, respectively, while western blotting confirmed sEV markers. SEV uptake was assessed, followed by resazurin assay, RNA isolation, quantification, cDNA preparation, RT-PCR, nano LC-MS, and bioinformatic analysis, before and after treating Jurkat-E6.1 cells with sEVs from A549 and SKMES1.
