Project description:Xylem, the predominant tissue for structural support, forms tension wood with G-layer-rich fibers under mechanical stress. Despite being recognized over a century ago, three key biological questions remained unclear: (1) Are fibers in normal and tension wood distinct cells due to morphological differences? (2) Do tension wood fibers arise from different lineages? (3) What are the key genes regulating tension wood formation? We conducted single-cell RNA-seq on normal, tension and opposite xylem. Fibers in normal and tension wood belong to the same cell type and lineage. Differential developmental speed and cell-type ratio in tension and opposite xylem were further validated by spatial transcriptomics and metabolomics. Phosphoproteomics uncovered mechanical sensing mechanisms conserved between stems and roots across angiosperms. We identified a group of genes involved in the cell fate transition in tension wood. The knowledge on the heterogeneity of cell development offers insights for optimizing biomass production and bioenergy yield.

Project description:Aneuploidy is a hallmark of human cancer, yet the molecular mechanisms to cope with aneuploidy-induced cellular stresses remain largely unknown. Here, we induced chromosome mis-segregation in non-transformed RPE1-hTERT cells and derived multiple stable clones with various degrees of aneuploidy. We performed an unbiased genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of 6 isogenic clones, using whole-exome DNA, mRNA and miRNA sequencing, as well as proteomics. Concomitantly, we functionally interrogated their cellular vulnerabilities, using genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 and large-scale drug screens. Aneuploid clones activated the DNA damage response, and were consequently more resistant to further DNA damage induction. Aneuploid cells also exhibited elevated RAF/MEK/ERK pathway activity, and were more sensitive to clinically-relevant drugs targeting this pathway, and in particular to CRAF inhibition. Importantly, CRAF and MEK inhibition sensitized aneuploid cells to DNA damage-inducing chemotherapies and to PARP inhibitors. These results were validated in human cancer cell lines. Overall, our study provides a comprehensive resource for genetically-matched karyotypically-stable cells of various aneuploidy states, revealing a novel therapeutically-relevant cellular dependency of aneuploid cells. This submission contains the raw files, the library used for the analysis, and the corresponding DIA-NN report and associated files.

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells and embryos reversibly pause via chemical mTOR inhibition. In this study, we investigate the tissue-specific response to mTORi-induced pausing in ES and trophoblast stem (TS) cells. To resolve the sequential rewiring of the proteome, we conducted a time-series proteomics experiment at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours upon induction of pausing, and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours upon release of pausing in ES and TS cells. We find that ES, but not TS cells pause reversibly. To optimise developmental pausing conditions, we reasoned that by understanding the difference in pausing response of ES and TS cells, we could identify which pathways are essential for pausing. We found that KEGG pathways related to amino acid degradation, fatty acid degradation, and DNA repair are upregulated in ES cells, but downregulated in TS cells during entry into pausing. Moreover, by targeted metabolomics, we found a depletion of short chain carnitines in the paused ES cells. To extend the length of developmental pausing, we supplemented paused embryos with L-carnitine. The L-carnitine supplementation facilitates lipid usage and prolongs the pausing length by 19 days through the establishment of a more dormant state.

Project description:Cadaverine is a polyamine produced by the gut microbiota with links to health and disease, notably inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here, we show that cadaverine shapes monocyte-macrophage immunometabolism in a context- and concentration-dependent fashion to impact macrophage functionality. At baseline, cadaverine is taken up via L-lysine transporters and activates the thioredoxin system, while during inflammation, cadaverine signals through aconitate decarboxylase 1 (Acod1)-itaconate. Both pathways induce activation of transcription factor, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which supports mitochondrial respiration and promotes immunoregulatory macrophage polarization. Conversely, under higher concentrations, cadaverine acts via histamine 4 receptor, leading to glycolysis-driven inflammation and pro-inflammatory functions in macrophages. Likewise, cadaverine exhibits paradoxical effects in experimental colitis, either protective or detrimental, evoking opposite fates on macrophages depending on levels dictated by Enterobacteriaceae. In IBD patients, elevated cadaverine correlated with higher flare risk. Our findings implicate cadaverine as a microbiota-derived metabolite manipulating macrophage energy metabolism with consequences in intestinal inflammation and implications for IBD pathogenesis.

Project description:3D tumoroids have revolutionized in vitro/ex vivo cancer biology by recapitulating the complex diversity of tumors. While tumoroid provide new insights into cancer development and treatment response, several limitations remain. The tumor microenvironment, especially the immune system, strongly influences tumor development. Absence of immune cells in tumoroids may yield flawed conclusions. Macrophages, key players in tumor progression, pose integration challenges into tumoroid. In this study, we established three optimized and standardized methods for co-culturing human macrophages with breast cancer tumoroids: a semi-liquid model and two matrix-embedded models tailored for specific applications. Optimizing culture conditions, we tracked interactions and macrophage infiltration using flow cytometry and light sheet microscopy. Macrophages not only influenced tumoroid molecular profiles but also chemotherapy response. This underscores the importance of increasing the complexity of current 3D models to more accurately reflect in vivo conditions. The three models have different application and can be used in various ways.

Project description:The study of rare pediatric disorders is fundamentally limited by small patient numbers, making it challenging to draw meaningful conclusions about their molecular basis. To address this, we developed a framework that integrates clinical ontologies with proteomic profiling, enabling the systematic analysis of rare conditions in aggregate rather than isolation. We demonstrated this approach by analyzing urine and plasma samples from 1,140 children and adolescents, encompassing 394 distinct disease conditions and healthy controls. Using advanced mass spectrometry workflows, we achieved deep proteome coverage with over 5,000 proteins quantified in urine and 900 in plasma. By embedding SNOMED CT clinical terminology in a network structure and connecting it to proteomic data, we could group rare conditions based on their clinical relationships, allowing statistical analysis even for diseases with as few as two patients. This approach revealed molecular signatures across developmental stages and disease clusters while accounting for age- and sex-specific variation. Our framework provides a generalizable solution for studying heterogeneous patient populations where traditional case-control studies are impractical, bridging the gap between clinical classification and molecular profiling of rare diseases.

Project description:Structure formation of membrane proteins is error-prone and thus requires chaperones that oversee this essential process in cell biology. The ER membrane protein complex (EMC) is well-defined as a transmembrane domain (TMD) integrase. In this study, we characterize an additional chaperone function of the EMC. We use interactomics and systematic studies with model proteins to comprehensively define client features for this EMC chaperone mode. Based on this data, we develop a machine learning tool for client prediction. Mechanistically, our study reveals that the EMC engages TMDs via its EMC1 subunit and modulates their orientation within the lipid bilayer. Productive TMD assembly reduces binding to the EMC chaperone site. Taken together, our study provides detailed insights into an EMC chaperone function, further establishing the role of the EMC as a multifunctional molecular machine in membrane protein biogenesis.

Project description:Single-cell proteomics by mass spectrometry (MS) is emerging as a powerful and unbiased method for the characterization of biological heterogeneity. So far, it has been limited to cultured cells, whereas an expansion of the method to complex tissues would greatly enhance biological insights. Here we describe single-cell Deep Visual Proteomics (scDVP), a technology that integrates high-content imaging, laser microdissection and multiplexed MS. scDVP resolves the context-dependent, spatial proteome of murine hepatocytes at a current depth of 1,700 proteins from a slice of a cell. Half of the proteome was differentially regulated in a spatial manner, with protein levels changing dramatically in proximity to the central vein. We applied machine learning to proteome classes and images, which subsequently inferred the spatial proteome from imaging data alone. scDVP is applicable to healthy and diseased tissues and complements other spatial proteomics or spatial omics technologies.

Project description:Aims Leveraging the tolerogenic nature of their natural clearance pathway, we aim to exploit red blood cells (RBCs) as an antigen delivery system to achieve persistent exposure to ADAMTS13-derived peptides, promoting antigen-specific attenuation of autoreactive CD4+ T cells and induction of regulatory T cells. Background Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare and potentially fatal autoimmune disease caused by a severe ADAMTS13 functional deficiency mediated by autoantibodies targeting ADAMTS13. Despite high survival rates achieved with current treatments, approximately 40% of patients experience relapses. Ensuring longer-lasting recovery by restoring immune tolerance towards ADAMTS13 remains a significant unmet need. Conclusion(s) Our strategy offers a modular and effective method for targeting antigenic peptides to RBCs for transfusion. Antigen-decorated RBCs are efficiently phagocytosed by macrophages and facilitate the presentation of FINVAPHAR on MHC II molecules, giving macrophages the ability to target ADAMTS13-specific T cells. Based on our results we propose that RBCs loaded with ADAMTS13-derived peptides containing immunodominant T cell epitopes represent a promising strategy for promoting tolerance in patients with iTTP. Methods A fusion peptide comprising the TAT cell-penetrating peptide and an immunodominant ADAMTS13-derived T cell epitope (FINVAPHAR core sequence) was designed. Binding of the fusion peptide to RBCs was monitored by flow cytometry and Imagestream. To examine whether this approach can facilitate antigen-presentation on MHC II molecules, peptide-loaded RBCs were fed to macrophages, followed by isolation of HLA-DR-peptide complexes to study the presented peptide repertoire via mass spectrometry. Results We found that the fusion peptide binds to RBCs in a concentration-dependent manner. Peptide-bound RBCs were efficiently phagocytosed by macrophages. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed that phagocytosis of peptide-loaded RBCs by macrophages results in the presentation of FINVAPHAR-containing sequences of varying lengths on MHCII molecules from HLA-DRB1*11 donors, confirming functional antigen presentation

Project description:The gut microbiota and its metabolites critically regulate immune cell phenotype, function, and energy metabolism. We screened a collection of gut microbiota-related metabolites to identify modulators of mitochondrial metabolism in T cells. Here, we show that indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) stimulates mitochondrial respiration of CD4+ T cells by increasing the oxidation of fatty acids and amino acids (FAO and AAO), while inhibiting glycolytic capacity. IPA also impacts CD4+ T cell behavior by inhibiting their differentiation to TH1 and TH17 phenotypes. Mechanistically, the metabolic and immune effects of IPA are mediated by Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-beta/delta. The administration of IPA rescues mitochondria respiration in mice with gut bacteria depletion or colitis by enhancing FAO and AAO in colonic CD4+ T cells. Adoptive transfer experiments show that IPA acts on CD4+T cells to exert its protective effect against inflammation. Collectively, our study reveals that the anti-inflammatory effects of IPA are mediated by metabolic reprogramming of CD4+ T cells toward the enhancement of mitochondrial respiration.
