Project description:Plastics are emerging pollutants of great concern. Macroplastics degrade into microplastics and nanoplastics, which can accumulate in living organisms with still poorly known consequences. Nanoplastics being particulate pollutants, they are handled in animal organisms by scavenger cells such as macrophages, which are important players in the immune system. Polyethylene terephthalate is one of these plastics of concern, as it is widely used in food packaging where it releases nanoparticles. We have thus undertaken a study on the effects of true-to-life polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles prepared from water bottles on macrophages. To this purpose, we used a combination of proteomics and targeted validation experiments. Proteomics showed important adaptive changes in the proteome in response to exposure to polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles. These changes affected for example mitochondrial, cytoskeletal and lysosomal proteins, but also proteins implicated in immune functions. Validation experiments showed that many of these changes were homeostatic, with no induced oxidative stress and no gross perturbation of the mitochondrial function. However, polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and disturbed the immune functions of macrophages. We indeed observed a slight pro-inflammatory response (1.5-fold increase in TNF secretion). We also observed a decrease in the response to bacterial stimulation (1.6 decrease in IL-6 secretion). We also observed a 20 percent decrease in the expression of important proteins involved in immune responses such as TLR2, TLR7 or collectin 12, and a two-fold decrease in the production of lysozyme. This suggests that macrophages having ingested polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles are less efficient in their immune functions.

Project description:Plastics are one of the most preoccupying emerging pollutants. Macroplastics released in the environment degrade into microplastics and nanoplastics. Because of their small size, these micro and nano plastic particles can enter the food chain and, in addition to their ecotoxicological effects, contaminate humans with still unknown biological effects. Plastics being particulate pollutants, they are handled in the human body by scavenger cells such as macrophages, which are important players in the immune system. In order to get a better appraisal of the effects of plastic particles on macrophages, we have studied the effects of unmodified polystyrene particles of 0.1, 1 and 10 micrometers of diameter, by a combination of proteomics and targeted approaches. Proteomics showed important adaptive changes of the proteome in response to exposure to plastics, with more than one third of the detected proteins showing a significance change in their abundance in response to cell exposure to at least one plastic beads size. These changes affected for example mitochondrial, lysosomal or cytoskeletal proteins. Although an increase in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential was detected in response to 10 micrometer beads, no alteration in cell viability was observed. Similarly, no lysosomal dysfunction and no alteration in the phagocytic capability of the cells was observed in response to exposure to plastic. When the inflammatory response was examined, no increase in the secretion of tumor necrosis factor or interleukin 6 was observed. Oppositely, the secretion of these cytokines in response to lipopolysaccharide was observed after exposure to plastic, which suggested a decreased ability of macrophages to respond to bacterial infection. In conclusion, these results provide a better understanding of the responses of macrophages to exposure to polystyrene particles of different sizes.

Plastics being particulate pollutants, they are handled in the human body by scavenger cells such as macrophages, which are important players in the immune system. Because of all the potential problems, it is advocated to replace fossil fuel-based plastics by bio-based and bio-degradable plastics, among which poly-hydroxyalkanoates are the most promising. However, the effects of these on mammalian cells are even less known than those of fossil fuel-based plastics. We therefore designed a study aiming at investigating the effects of polylactic acid (PLA) nanoparticles on macrophages. Indeed, being a plastic, PLA is known to fragment and liberate micro and nanoparticles, exactly as conventional plastics. These particles will be internalized by macrophages and may induce functional consequences on these cells. Proteomics showed important adaptive changes of the proteome in response to exposure to PLA, and several important pathways such as mitochondrion, lysosomes or endoplasmic reticulum were highlighted by the proteomic analysis. However, validation experiments showed that most of these changes were homeostatic and allowed the cells to keep these functions unaltered. When the inflammatory response was examined, no major increase in the secretion of tumor necrosis factor or interleukin 6 was observed. However, the secretion of these cytokines in response to lipopolysaccharide was altered after exposure to PLA. The production of interleukin 6 was decreased, while the production of tumor necrosis factor, showing a complex alteration of cellular responses after exposure to PLA nanoparticles. In conclusion, these results provide a better understanding of the responses of macrophages to exposure to the biodegradable PLA nanoparticles.

Plastics being particulate pollutants, they are handled in the human body by scavenger cells such as macrophages, which are important players in the immune system. One of the major issues with plastic contamination of living cells is their extremely variable biodegradability. Many petroleum-based plastics such as polyethylene and polystyrene are very poorly biodegradable, while the degradability of other plastic types such as polyesters is very variable. Moreover, the exposure of humans to plastics is typically a chronic, repeated exposure, and not an acute one as in most of the in vitro toxicology studies devoted to nanoplastics.In this research project, we compare the proteomes of macrophages exposed to repeated doses (8x10µg/ml) of different plastic particles, in order to decipher their responses to these pollutants of concern. We included in this study two poorly biodegradable plastics (polystyrene and poly-ethyleneterephthalate) and two biodegradable plastics (polylactide and polycaprolactone). For comparisons reasons, the data obtained on cells exposed to the same cumulative dose at once (1x80µg/ml) are also included.

Project description:Tattoos are becoming increasingly popular across generations, with 10-20% of the population in Europe and the United States bearing at least one tattoo. Tattoos represent an intradermal injection of pigments (i.e. coloured insoluble micro- and nano-particles), which remain in place throughout life. Although tattoos have existed for centuries, the question of their health impact has really arisen rather lately, so that a significant gap in our understanding of the cellular and molecular long-term effects of these pigments on the body remains. In this project, we investigate a wide range of tattoo pigments on macrophages. Macrophages, pivotal in pigment persistence through phagocytic processes and capture-release-recapture cycles, are also key players in the inflammatory response and tissue homeostasis. Dysregulation in macrophage functionalities can potentially lead to substantial health consequences such as deficient immune response or such as sarcoidosis. To assess the long-term effects of tattoos, we tested iron-based pigments (which are widely used in the medical field for dermopigmentation of the nipple-areola complex after mastectomy) using an exposure scheme consisting in an acute exposure for 24 hours and a 5-days post exposure recovery period. Proteomic analyses were conducted to understand the underlying cellular mechanisms.

Project description:Some carboxydotrophs like Rhodospirillum rubrum are able to grow with CO as their sole source of energy using a Carbone monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) and an Energy conserving hydrogenase (ECH) to perform anaerobically the so called water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) (CO + H2O-> CO2 + H2). Several studies have focused at the biochemical and biophysical level on this enzymatic system and a few OMICS studies on CO metabolism. Knowing that CO is toxic in particular due to its binding to heme iron atoms, and is even considered as a potential antibacterial agent, we decided to use a proteomic approach in order to analyze R. rubrum adaptation in term of metabolism and management of the toxic effect. In particular, this study allowed highlighting a set of proteins likely implicated in ECH maturation, and important perturbations in term of cofactor biosynthesis, especially metallic cofactors. This shows that even this CO tolerant microorganism cannot avoid completely CO toxic effects associated with its interaction with metallic ions.

Project description:Synthetic amorphous silica (SAS) is a nanomaterial used in a wide variety of applications, including the use as a food additive. Two types of SAS are commonly employed as a powder additive, precipitated silica and fumed silica. Numerous studies have investigated the effects of synthetic amorphous silica on mammalian cells. However, most of them have used an exposure scheme based on a single dose of SAS. In this study, we have used instead a repeated 10-days exposure scheme, closer to the occupational exposure encountered in daily life. As a biological model we have used the murine macrophage cell line J774A.1, as macrophages are very important innate immune cells in the response to particulate materials. In order to get a better appraisal of the macrophage responses to this repeated exposure to SAS, we have used proteomics as a wide-scale approach. Furthermore, some of the biological pathways detected as modulated by the exposure to SAS by the proteomic experiments have been validated through targeted experiments. Overall, proteomics showed that precipitated SAS induced a more important macrophage response than fumed SAS at equal dose. Nevertheless, validation experiments showed that most of the responses detected by proteomics are indeed adaptive, as the cellular homeostasis appeared to be maintained at the end of the exposure. For example, the intracellular glutathione levels or the mitochondrial transmembrane potential at the end of the 10 days exposure were similar for SAS-exposed cells and for unexposed cells. Nevertheless, important functions of macrophages such as phagocytosis, TNF and interleukin-6 secretion were up-modulated after exposure, as was the expression of important membrane proteins such as the scavenger receptor or the MAC-1 receptor. These results suggest that repeated exposure to low doses of SAS slightly modulates the immune functions of macrophages, which may alter the homeostasis of the immune system.

Project description:Protein complexes constitute the primary functional modules of cellular activity. To respond to perturbations, complexes undergo changes in their abundance, subunit composition or state of modification. Understanding the function of biological systems requires global strategies to capture this contextual state information on protein complexes and interaction networks. Methods based on co-fractionation paired with mass spectrometry have demonstrated the capability for deep biological insight but the scope of studies using this approach has been limited by the large measurement time per biological sample and challenges with data analysis. As such, there has been little uptake of this strategy beyond a few expert labs into the broader life science community despite rich biological information content. We present a rapid integrated experimental and computational workflow to assess the re-organization of protein complexes across multiple cellular states. It enables complex experimental designs requiring increased sample/condition numbers. The workflow combines short gradient chromatography and DIA/SWATH mass spectrometry with a data analysis toolset to quantify changes in complex organization. We applied the workflow to study the global protein complex rearrangements of THP-1 cells undergoing monocyte to macrophage differentiation and a subsequent stimulation of macrophage cells with lipopolysaccharide. We observed massive proteome organization in functions related to signaling, cell adhesion, and extracellular matrix during differentiation, and less pronounced changes in processes related to innate immune response induced by the macrophage stimulation. We therefore establish our integrated differential pipeline for rapid and state-specific profiling of protein complex organization with broad utility in complex experimental designs.

Project description:Many diseases have been associated with gut microbiome abnormalities. The root cause of such diseases is not only due to bacterial dysbiosis, but also to change in bacterial functions, which are best studied by proteomic approaches. Although bacterial proteomics is well established, metaproteomics is hindered by challenges associated with the sample physical structure, contaminating proteins, the simultaneous analysis of hundreds of species and the subsequent data analysis. Here, we present a systematic assessment of sample preparation and data analysis methodologies applied to LC-MS/MS metaproteomics experiment. We could show that low speed centrifugation (LSC) has a significant impact on both peptide identifications and reproducibility. LSC led to increase in peptide and proteins identifications compare to no LSC. Notably, the dominant bacterial phyla, i.e. Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, showed divergent representation between LSC and no-LSC. In terms of data processing, protein sequence databases derived from mouse faeces metagenome provided at least four times more MS/MS identification compared to databases of concatenated single organisms. We also demonstrated that two-steps database search strategy comes at the expense of a dramatic rise in number of false positives compared to single-step strategy. Overall, we found a positive correlation between matching metaproteome and metagenome abundance, which could be linked to core microbial functions, such as glycolysis-gluconeogenesis, citrate cycle and carbon metabolism. We observed significant overlap and correlation at the phylum, class, order and family taxonomic levels between taxonomy-derived from metagenome and metaproteome. Notably, nearly all functional categories (e.g., membrane transport, translation, transcription) were differentially abundant in the metaproteome (activity) compared to what would be expected from the metagenome (potential). In conclusion, these results highlight the need to perform metaproteomics when studying complex microbiome samples.

Project description:The S. pombe orthologue of the human PAXT complex, Mtl1-Red1 Core (MTREC), is an eleven-subunit complex which targets cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs) to the nuclear RNA exosome for degradation. It encompasses the canonical poly(A) polymerase Pla1, responsible for polyadenylation of nascent RNA transcripts as part of the cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF/CPSF). In this study we identified and characterised the interaction between Pla1 and the MTREC complex core component Red1 and analysed the functional relevance of this interaction in vivo. Our crystal structure of the Pla1-Red1 complex showed that a 58-residue fragment in Red1 binds to the RNA recognition motif domain of Pla1 and tethers it to the MTREC complex. Structure-based Pla1-Red1 interaction mutations showed that Pla1, as part of MTREC complex, hyper-adenylates CUTs for their efficient degradation. Interestingly, the Red1-Pla1 interaction was also required for the efficient assembly of the fission yeast facultative heterochromatic islands. Together, our data suggest a complex interplay between the RNA surveillance and 3’-end processing machineries.
