Proteomic study of localized tissue necrosis by Naja atra venom

ABSTRACT: Naja atra bites frequently cause immediate and serious disease. N. atra venom contains a complex of toxic components that can cause immediate and direct harm to the patient's skin tissue. If not treated effectively, it can readily progress to widespread localized necrosis, which in severe cases may result in impairment or amputation. However, the underlying causes for this localized tissue necrosis remain unknown. This study aims to investigate the protein basis of N. atra venom -induced localized tissue necrosis at the whole organism and dynamic network levels, as well as to understand the pathogenic process of this necrosis from a molecular standpoint. Venom was injected into Bama miniature pigs to induce ulcers, and exudate samples from the wounds were collected at different points over time. This model aims to provide a means to observe the ulceration process and collect exudate for further analysis regarding the effects of the venom. Through label-free proteomics analysis, we identified all protein components present in the wound exudate. The proteomics results revealed that 1119, 1016, 938, 864, and 855 proteins were identified in the exudate at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, and 48 hours after snake venom injection, respectively, and a total of 431 differentially expressed proteins were screened from the proteins in the exudate at the five time periods. Bioinformatics and Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) with Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)were used to validate further screening, and we eventually identified S100A8, MMP-2, MIF, and IDH2 as proteins associated with local tissue necrosis. In this study, we established a Bama miniature pig model for N. atra venom injection, and performed proteomic analysis of the wound exudate, which provides important insights into the molecular pathology of snakebite-induced tissue necrosis and potential theoretical bases for clinical treatment.

Naja atra bites often result in immediate and severe illness. The venom of N. atra contains a complex mixture of toxins that can cause significant damage to the patient's skin tissue. If left untreated, this condition can progress to localized necrosis, potentially resulting in impairment or even amputation in severe cases. Despite the known effects of the venom, the exact mechanisms underlying this tissue necrosis are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the protein components ...[more]

Project description:Background The generalist dipteran pupal parasitoid Nasonia vitripennis injects 79 venom peptides into the host before egg laying. This venom induces several important changes in the host, including developmental arrest, immunosuppression, and alterations to normal metabolism. It is hoped that diverse and potent bioactivities of N. vitripennis venom provide an opportunity for the design of novel acting drugs. However, currently very little is known about the individual functions of N. vitripennis venom peptides and less than half can be bioinformatically annotated. The paucity of annotation information complicates the design of studies that seek to better understand the potential mechanisms underlying the envenomation response. Although the RNA interference system of N. vitripennis provides an opportunity to functionally characterise venom encoding genes, with 79 candidates this represents a daunting task. For this reason we were interested in determining the expression levels of venom encoding genes in the venom gland, such that this information could be used to rank candidate venoms. To do this we carried out deep sequencing of the transcriptome of the venom gland and neighbouring ovary tissue and used RNA-seq to measure expression from the 79 venom encoding genes. The generation of a specific venom gland transcriptome dataset also provides further opportunities to investigate novel features of this highly specialised organ. Results High throughput sequencing and RNA-seq revealed that the highest expressed venom encoding gene in the venom gland was a serine protease called Nasvi2EG007167, which has previously been implicated in the apoptotic activity of N. vitripennis venom. As expected the RNA-seq confirmed that the N. vitripennis venom encoding genes are almost exclusively expressed in the venom gland relative to the neighbouring ovary tissue. Novel peptides appear to perform key roles in N. vitripennis venom function as only four of the highest 15 expressed venom encoding genes are bioinformatically annotationed. The high throughput sequencing data also provided evidence for the existence of an additional 471 novel genes in the Nasonia genome that are expressed in the venom gland and ovary. Finally, metagenomic analysis of venom gland transcripts identified viral transcripts that may play an important part in the N. vitripennis venom function. Conclusions The expression level information provided here for the 79 venom encoding genes provides an unbiased dataset that can be used by the N. vitripennis community to identify high value candidates for further functional characterisation. These candidates represent bioactive peptides that have value in drug development pipelines.

Project description:The underlying mechanism of how the atopic lipids in skeletal muscle affect muscle growth remains elusive. Here we chose miniature Bama swine as our model to mimick human obesity and co-associated metabolic disorders by long time diet induction and study how the atopic fat accumulation in skeletal muscle influence muscle function. After 23 months high-fat high-sucrose diet (HFHSD) fed, the model minipig model of obesity accompanied with metabolic disorders like human, and they had increased body weight and extensive lipids deposition in adipose tissues (AT) and non-AT, especially in skeletal muscle. Further more, the mass of skeletal reduced greatly and the small area (0-2000μm2) muscle reduced after diet induced. The average fiber area of Gastroc reduced 25.2%, but no significant changes appeared in the other skeletal muscles. Antioxidant capacity of skeletal muscle also reduced. Microarray profiles showed genes related to fat deposition promotion (Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α and apolipoprotein E), muscle growth inhibition (myostatin and p21) up regulated, and some other muscle cell differentiation related genes (myoD) down regulated. Meanwhile, adipokines like adiponectin and 11b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD1) which partake in the crosstalk between AT and skeletal muscles rose up. We draw a clear potential crosstalk pathway that, increased 11βHSD1 secreted by excess AT will promote the expression of the major inhibitor MSTN by activating corticosterone to cortisol, leading to the growth inhibition of skeletal muscle. Overall, this research announces how obesity affects skeletal muscle growth in a crosstalk sight. Male and female Bama minipigs, aged 6 months at the start of the study, were divided into the following two groups for 23 months of treatment. Bama minipigon control (CD group, N=3) were fed standard pig chow. The experimental group (N=6) were fed high-fat high-sucrose diet (53% basal diet, 37% sucrose, 10% lard, HFHSD).
