Project description:The TNF superfamily is large, including TNF ligands (n = 19) and TNF receptors (n = 29),as determined following the completion of large-scale sequencing of the human and mouse genomes. These members not only function in immune cells but are also involved in respiratory and intestinal diseases, and some members may act as a double-edged sword. Tumor necrosis factor-like cytokine 1A (TL1A, also known as TNFSF15) is the only known death receptor 3 (DR3, also known as TNFRSF25) ligand (Meylan et al., 2011). The TL1A/DR3 axis plays a role in the regulation of intestinal immunity and fibrosis (Valatas et al., 2019), asthma airway remodeling (Zhang et al., 2022; Herro et al., 2010), and other autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (Herro et al., 2021), exacerbating disease progression. However, some researchers have proposed that the TL1A/DR3 axis has a protective role in some disease models. A novel role for TL1A/DR3 in protection against intestinal injury was reported by Jia et al (Jia et al., 2016). Yang et al. revealed a protective effect of TL1A against intracerebral hemorrhage-induced secondary brain injury and infection (Yang et al., 2021). In addition, TL1A maintains the blood–retinal barrier by modulating SHP-1-Src-VE-cadherin signaling in diabetic retinopathy, as verified by Li et al (Li et al., 2021). However, the role of TL1A/DR3 in ARDS has not been explored.

Project description:B. napus, a widely cultivated oilseed crop spanning roughly 35 million hectares world-wide (Faostat , 2022), faces various stress factors including salt stress which reduces plant height, size, and yield (Shahza d et al., 2022; Naheed et al., 2021). Endophytic microorganisms are known to promote plant growth and biomass production (Rho et al., 2018, Azad et al., 2016, Zhang et al., 2019). In this study, inoculation with endophyte Acremonium alternatum increased both fresh and dry weight under salt stress conditions. Further molecular analyses provided insights into potential mechanisms involved, highlighting a putative role of abscisic acid in mediating ROS metabolism and ion sequestering. These findings contribute to our understanding of plant-fungi interactions and offer promising leads for developing novel biological agents to improve crop production under the challenges posed by climate change.

Project description:RNA-seq samples from 3 species across a differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells to neural progenitor cells were generated to study gene expression evolution. Briefly, previously generated urinary stem cell derived iPSCs of 3 human (Homo sapiens) individuals (3 clones), 1 gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) individual and fibroblast derived cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) iPSCs of 2 individuals (4 clones) (Geuder et al. 2021) were differentiated to neural progenitor cells via dual-SMAD inhibition as three-dimensional aggregation culture (Chambers et al. 2009; Ohnuki et al. 2014). Bulk RNA-seq libraries of iPSCs and NPCs were generated using prime-seq protocol (Janjic et al. 2022).

Project description:Lysine malonylation is an evolutionarily conserved PTM from bacteria to mammals and involves malonyl-coenzyme (CoA) as a cofactor. Since the malonyl group has an acidic carboxylic group under physiological pH, malonylated lysine is negatively charged, which might impact on protein function and enzymatic activities. Like other short-chain acyl-CoAs, malonyl-CoA can be synthesized from its corresponding short-chain acyl salt, malonate, catalyzed by malonyl-CoA synthetase (Witkowski et al., 2011). In addition, malonyl-CoA can be produced during the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA by acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA by propionyl-CoA carboxylase, and the β-oxidation of old-chain-length dicarboxylic acids (Peng et al., 2011). Most studies on Kmal have been performed in mammalian systems and identified thousands of malonylated sites, revealing its role in the progress of diseases like type 2 diabetes, schizophrenia, and cardiac hypertrophy (Du et al., 2015; Smith et al., 2022; Wu et al., 2022). There has been increasing interest in dissecting the regulatory roles of Kmal in several bacterial species, such as Escherichia coli (Qian et al., 2016), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (Fan et al., 2017), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Bi et al., 2022), and Staphylococcus aureus (Shi et al., 2021), which demonstrates that Kmal exists in diverse prokaryotic organisms and participates in the regulation of various physiological processes. Even so, whether Kmal exists and affects protein functions in streptococci remains unknown. S. mutans is considered to be the most prevalent and cariogenic species in active carious lesions of humans, residing primarily in dental plaque, which is a biofilm that forms on the tooth surfaces. During the past decades, studies of S. mutans have focused on revealing the molecular mechanisms underlying the robust biofilm formation on tooth surfaces, the metabolism of a wide variety of carbohydrates obtained from the host diet, and the adaption of numerous environmental challenges (Lemos et al., 2019). Several studies have been performed to reveal the roles of PTMs in biofilm and cariogenic virulence. Wang et al. found that the phosphorylation of VicR could inhibit the expression of the glucosyltransferases gtfBC, thereby reducing the synthesis of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), the major component of cariogenic biofilm (Wang et al., 2021). Acetylome study on the S. mutans depicted that acetylated substrates were globally altered in the biofilm state compared to the planktonic state, and the acetylated GtfBC showed decreased activities (Lei et al., 2021; Ma et al., 2021). Our previous study revealed that the S-glutathionylation of a thioredoxin-like protein is important for interspecies competition and cariogenicity of S. mutans(Li et al., 2020). These results suggest that various PTM types exist in S. mutans and participate in diverse physiological processes. The genome of S. mutans UA159 codes an acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC), which could synthesize malonyl-CoA through the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA (Ajdić et al., 2002), implying the existence of malonylation in this bacterium. Therefore, this study aimed to confirm the existence of Kmal in S. mutans and identify the malonylated sites globally. The present findings provide a systematic view of the functional roles of Kmal in various metabolic pathways of S. mutans.

Project description:Frailty is defined as a clinical syndrome. It reflects a decrease in physiological reserve capacities that alters the mechanisms of adaptation to stress. Its clinical expression is modulated by biological, physiological, social and environmental changes. Thus, the accumulation of declines in these multiple systems leads to vulnerability to adverse outcomes (Fried et al., 2001; Nourhashémi et al., 2001). Indeed, frailty increases the risk of disability, falls, hospitalization and death. Age is currently a major determinant of frailty but does not explain this syndrome alone. It has been estimated that the prevalence of frailty is 4% in people aged 65-69 years and increases to 26% in people aged over 85 years (Clegg et al., 2013). However, this parameter is not sufficient to understand why long-lived people can preserve their physical function even at extreme ages (Ayers et al., 2017). The characterization of frailty has therefore become a priority in order to put in place actions to reduce or delay its harmful consequences. Early diagnostic methods are needed to identify those at risk. The search for biomarkers is part of this approach. As a result, the search for biomarkers of frailty has led to the identification of several types of molecules linked to the inflammatory response (e.g. IL-6, CRP, TNF-α and homocysteine), to nutritional status (e.g. vitamin D, albumin) or even endocrine. metabolism (e.g. IGF-1 and testosterone) (Picca et al., 2022; Mailliez et al., 2020; Alvarez-Sanchez et al, 2020). The development of new analytical techniques now allows multiplexed analysis rather than an individual biomarker to characterize a biological profile of this complex and dynamic frailty syndrome (Picca et al., 2022). Proteomic analysis is the technique of choice for studying the complete protein content of a biological sample. This technique has already proven itself in the discovery of new biomarkers in age-related diseases such as Parkinson's disease (Raghunathan et al., 2022) and Alzheimer's disease (Bai et al., 2021). Several studies have already described the plasma proteomic profile of frailty (Shamsi et al., 2012; Lin et al., 2017; Landino et al., 2021; Sathyan et al., 2020; Verghese et al., 2021), highlighting the importance of biological pathways associated with frailty: immune response, coagulation pathway or lipid metabolism. On the other hand, the determination of the level of frailty of the patients thanks to a proteomic analysis could also make it possible to improve the prediction of this syndrome as well as its phenotyping. In a first work on plasma samples, Sathyan et al. constructed a frailty prediction model that was more strongly correlated with chronological age than observed clinical frailty (Sathyan et al., 2020). Cognitive impairment plays a key role in determining vulnerability to adverse outcomes (Cesari et al., 2013), leading to the proposal in 2013 of a concept and operational definition of “cognitive frailty”. (Sugimoto et al., 2022). Proteomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is therefore an approach of choice for understanding brain responses to aging and frailty syndrome. Its analysis could allow the identification of new biomarkers linked to the frailty syndrome. Indeed, many of the CSF proteins are released by the various cells of the central nervous system (CNS). This biofluid thus reflects the molecular content of neuronal and glial cells. For this reason, any change in the composition of the CSF reflects the pathophysiological state of the brain (inflammation, infection, neurodegeneration...). CSF proteomics is therefore a technique of choice to comprehensively understand the cerebral pathogenic pathways linked to frailty. The PROLIPHYC cohort is composed of patients suspected of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). We have previously shown that there is an association in these patients between an alteration of the biomechanical properties of the CNS and the frailty index, and that homocysteine is the only plasma macromolecule associated with these two clinical and biomechanical parameters (Vallet et al., 2020; Guillotin et al., 2022). In this new study, we sought to characterize the protein composition of CSF related to frailty by quantitative proteomic analysis. The second objective was to develop a model for predicting frailty from the abundance of CSF proteins. This model was then compared to the frailty estimated by the frailty index. Together, our results enabled us to highlight a possible link between inhibition of the expression of proteins involved in neurogenesis and the frailty index, then to propose a first proteomic profile of frailty in the CSF and a model for predicting frailty based on the biological signature of the CNS.
