Project description:This study aimed to investigate the human tear proteins extracted from whole (W) Schirmer strips (ScS) and their two parts, the bulb (B) and the rest of the strip (R) with a comprehensive proteomic approach using a trapped ion mobility mass spectrometer, the timsTOF Pro. Eight ScS were collected from two healthy subjects at 4 different visits to be separated into three batches: 4W, 4B and 4R. In total, 1582 proteins were identified in the W, B and R batches. Among all iden-tified proteins, binding proteins (43.4%) and those with catalytic activity (42.2%) constituted more than 80% of the molecular functions. The most represented biological processes were cel-lular processes (31.2%), metabolic processes (20.8%) and biological regulation (13.1%). Enzymes were the most represented protein class (41 %), consisting mainly of hydrolases (47.5%), oxi-doreductases (22.1%) and transferases (16.7%). The bulb (B), which is in contact with the conjunc-tiva, might collect both tear and cell proteins and therefore promote identification of more pro-teins. Processing B and R separately before MS analysis, combined with the high data acquisition speed and the addition of ion-mobility-based separation in timsTOF Pro, can bring a new dimension to biomarker investigations of a limited sample such as tear fluid.

Project description:Calciprotein particles (CPPs), assembled as a result of molecular interactions between fetuin-A and nascent calcium phosphate clusters, are indispensable scavengers of excessive Ca2+ and PO43– ions, thus representing an elegant mechanism which regulates mineral homeostasis. Generation of CPPs represents an evolutionary mechanism to prevent blood supersaturation with Ca2+ and PO43– ions (e.g., as a result of bone resorption) and to thwart extraskeletal calcification, a pathological condition which is frequent in patients with chronic kidney disease. It is believed that formation of CPPs accompanied evolution from the appearance of bony fish; the existence of CPPs in more ancient animals remains uncertain. Shortly after emergence, amorphous, spherical, and submicrometer-sized (30-100 nm) primary CPPs (CPP-P) evolve into crystalline, spindle- or needle-shaped, and micrometer-sized (100-300 nm) secondary CPPs (CPP-S). Upon executing their function of aggregating Ca2+ and PO43– ions, CPPs are removed from the circulation by endothelial cells (ECs), monocytes, and liver or spleen macrophages. Internalisation and digestion of CPPs by ECs induce a chain of detrimental events including an increase in cytosolic Ca2+, mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum stress, nuclear factor (NF)-κB-mediated transcriptional response and cytokine release, ultimately contributing to the development of pro-inflammatory endothelial activation, chronic low-grade inflammation, and inflammaging. Pathological permeability of dysfunctional endothelium promotes lipid retention and leukocyte extravasation, together contributing to the development of vascular inflammation, proteolytic environment, degradation of basement membrane and internal elastic lamina, and contractile-to-synthetic switch of vascular smooth muscle cells. Such an ensemble of molecular events ultimately induces intimal hyperplasia, vascular remodeling, and atherosclerotic progression. Hence, CPPs act as a double-edged sword which rescues the human body from an acute life-threatening disease (i.e., extraskeletal calcification) at the cost of promoting long-lasting conditions (i.e., endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis). Among the several forms of calcium transfer (free Ca2+ ions, colloidal calciprotein monomers, and particulate CPPs), CPPs are the most efficient in delivering calcium stress to ECs because of their deposition and dissolution in lysosomes, followed by a lysosomal membrane permeabilisation and an excessive Ca2+ migration into the cytosol. The molecular pattern of CPP-induced calcium stress within the ECs is well defined and includes elevated expression of cell adhesion molecules (VCAM1, ICAM1, and E-selectin) and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition transcription factors (SNAI1, SNAI2, TWIST1, and ZEB1) in combination with an endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) uncoupling. However, our knowledge on extracellular signatures of such endothelial response remains limited to an augmented release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1/CCL2, MIF, CXCL1, and MIP-3α/CCL20) and pro- or anti-thrombotic molecules (serpin E1/PAI-1 and uPAR). As EC-secreted bioactive factors (termed angiokines) control vascular tone, maintain hemostasis, and regulate instructive signaling governing local homeostasis within the most organs, decryption and interpretation of endothelial secretome in physiological and pathological conditions is of utmost importance. Discovery of a circulating biomarkers specific for endothelial dysfunction, which can be measured by a routine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, might inform on specific disease states and prompt to the respective pharmacological interventions. Here, we aimed at deciphering the secretome of ECs treated with either CPP-P or CPP-S, employing ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) for the analysis of serum-free cell culture supernatant. For the objective comparison of heterogeneous arterial ECs, we utilised human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and human internal thoracic artery endothelial cells (HITAEC) which comprise an innermost lining in atheroprone and atheroresistant blood vessels (coronary artery and internal thoracic artery, respectively).

Project description:Minimal residual disease (MRD) status in multiple myeloma (MM) is an important prognostic biomarker. Personalized blood-based targeted mass spectrometry (MS-MRD) detecting M-proteins was shown to provide a sensitive and minimally invasive alternative to MRD assessment in bone marrow. However, MS-MRD still comprises manual steps that hamper upscaling of sample size. Here, we introduce a proof-of-concept for a novel workflow using dia-PASEF technology and automated data processing.Using automated data processing of PASEF DDA and dia-PASEF measurements, we developed a workflow that identified unique targets from MM patient sera and personalized protein sequence databases. We generated patient-specific libraries linked to dia-PASEF methods and subsequently quantitated and reported M-protein concentrations in follow-up samples from MM patients. Assay performance of prm-PASEF and dia-PASEF workflows were compared and we tested mixing patient intake sera for multiplexed target identification and selection.

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder that causes accelerated aging and a high risk of cardiovascular complications. However, the underlying mechanisms of cardiac complications of this syndrome are not fully understood. This study modeled HGPS using cardiomyocytes (CM) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from a patient with HGPS and characterized the biophysical, morphological, and molecular changes found in these CM compared to CM derived from a healthy donor. Electrophysiological recordings revealed that the HGPS CM was functional and had normal electrophysiological properties. Electron tomography showed nuclear morphology alteration and 3D reconstruction of electron tomography images indicated structural abnormalities in HGPS CM mitochondria. High-resolution respirometry with isolated CM derived from three distinct cellular differentiations suggests that HGPS-CM had a tendency of lower oxygen consumption capacity. However, there was no difference in mitochondrial content as measured by Mitotracker. Telomere length was measured using qRT-PCR, and no difference was found in either the iPSCs or the CM from HGPS when compared to the control. Proteomic analysis was carried out in a high-resolution system using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The proteomics data show distinct group separations and protein expression differences between HGPS and control-CM, highlighting changes in ribosomal, TCA cycle, and amino acid biosynthesis, among other modifications. Our findings show that iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes from a Progeria Syndrome patient have significant changes in mitochondrial morphology and protein expression, implying novel mechanisms underlying premature cardiac aging

Project description:Currently, it is well established that human endothelial cells (ECs) are characterised by a significant heterogeneity between distinct blood vessels, e.g., arteries, veins, capillaries, and lymphatic vessels. Further, even ECs belonging to the same lineage but grown under different flow patterns (e.g., laminar and oscillatory or turbulent flow) ostensibly have distinct molecular profiles defining their physiological behaviour. Human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and human internal thoracic artery endothelial cells (HITAEC) represent two cell lines inhabiting atheroprone and atheroresistant blood vessels (coronary artery and internal thoracic artery, respectively). Resistance of the internal mammary artery to atherosclerosis has been largely attributed to the protective phenotype of HITAEC which reportedly produce higher amounts of vasodilators including nitric oxide (NO) through the respective signaling pathways. However, this hypothesis has not been adequately addressed hitherto as proteomic profiling of HCAEC and HITAEC in a head-to-head comparison setting has not been performed.

Project description:Varroa destructor is one of the major parasitic pests in modern beekeeping worldwide. Since it shifted host from Asian to Western honey bees, it was shown to weaken colonies by feeding on both immature and adult stages while transmitting several deadly viruses in the process. Nutrition, an overlooked aspect of parasite biology, is thus a key to comprehend the V. destructor life cycle and its impacts on its honey bee host. We explored the feeding physiology of this ectoparasite both through artificial feeding and by dissecting their gut and analysing their protein content especially in terms of host-derived nutrients. We found that the mite requires higher quantities of carbohydrates than proteins and that the nature of these proteins is crucial for its survival. The abundance of these essential nutrients such as Vitellogenin or Hexamerin varies throughout the bee development and could directly impact the parasite physiology. The analysis and identification of key proteins required for the mite’s survival and reproduction will pave the way for the development of more specific control strategies.

Project description:Nicotine, acting through the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR), can induce seizures in mice. We aimed to study brain transcriptional response to seizure and to identify genes whose expression is altered after nicotine-induced seizures. Whole brains of untreated mice were compared to brains one hour after seizure activity, using Affymetrix U74Av2 microaarays. Experimental groups included wild-type mice and both nicotine-induced seizures sensitive and resistant nAChR mutant mice. Each genotype group received different nicotine doses to generate seizures. This approach allowed the identification of significantly changed genes whose expression was dependent on seizure activity, nicotine administration or both, but not on the type of nAChR subunit mutation or the amount of nicotine injected. Significant expression changes were detected in 62 genes (p < 0.05, FDR correction). Among them, GO functional annotation analysis determined that the most significantly over-represented categories were of genes encoding MAP kinase phosphatases, regulators of transcription and nucleosome assembly proteins. In-silico bioinformatic analysis of the promoter regions of the 62 changed genes detected the significant enrichments of 16 transcription regulatory elements (TREs), creating a network of transcriptional regulatory responses to seizures. The TREs for ATF and SRF were most significantly enriched, supporting their association with seizure activity. Our data suggest that nicotine-induced seizure in mice is a useful model to study seizure activity and its global brain transcriptional response. The differentially expressed genes detected here can help understand the molecular mechanisms underlying seizures in animal models, and may also serve as candidate genes to study epilepsy in humans. Experiment Overall Design: Whole brain expression profiles were determined in two experimental groups of mice, sixteen mice that were not treated with nicotine and twelve mice one hour after experiencing nicotine-induced seizure. The untreated group included six wild-type mice, five alpha7+/T and five beta4-/- mice. The group of mice that underwent nicotine-induced seizures included three wild-types, five alpha7+/T and four beta4-/- mice. Different doses of nicotine were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) to each genotype group of mice in order to achieve a similar seizure score in all three genotypes.

Project description:Metabolic rewiring is a well-established feature of muscle cells and a hallmark of cancer. In isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 mutant tumors, increased production of the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D2-HG) is associated with myopathy. The connection between metabolic changes and proteomic remodeling in skeletal muscle remains poorly understood. We demonstrate that D2-HG impairs NAD+ redox homeostasis in myocytes, causing activation of autophagy via de-acetylation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-II (LC3-II) by the nuclear deacetylase Sirt1. We integrated multi-omics data from mice treated with D2-HG and demonstrate that autophagy activation leads to skeletal muscle atrophy and sex-dependent metabolic and proteomic remodeling. We also characterized protein and metabolite interactions linking energy-substrate metabolism with chromatin organization and autophagy regulation. Collectively, our multi-omics approach exposes mechanisms by which the oncometabolite D2-HG induces metabolic and proteomic remodeling in skeletal muscle, and provides a conceptual framework for identifying potential therapeutic targets in cachexia.
