Project description:The identification of multidrug resistant (MDR), extensively and totally drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), in vulnerable sites such as Mumbai, is a grave threat to the control of tuberculosis. The current study aimed at explaining the rapid expression of MDR in Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) compliant patients, represents the first study comparing global transcriptional profiles of 3 pairs of clinical Mtb isolates, collected longitudinally at initiation and completion of DOTS. While the isolates were drug susceptible (DS) at onset and MDR at completion of DOTS, they exhibited identical DNA fingerprints at both points of collection. The whole genome transcriptional analysis was performed using total RNA from H37Rv and 3 locally predominant spoligotypes viz. MANU1, CAS and Beijing, hybridized on MTBv3 (BuG@S) microarray, and yielded 36, 98 and 45 differentially expressed genes respectively. Genes encoding transcription factors (sig, rpoB), cell wall biosynthesis (emb genes), protein synthesis (rpl) and additional central metabolic pathways (ppdK, pknH, pfkB) were found to be down regulated in the MDR isolates as compared to the DS isolate of the same genotype. Up regulation of drug efflux pumps, ABC transporters, trans-membrane proteins and stress response transcriptional factors (whiB) in the MDR isolates was observed. The data indicated that Mtb, without specific mutations in drug target genes may persist in the host due to additional mechanisms like drug efflux pumps and lowered rate of metabolism. Furthermore this population of Mtb, which also showed reduced DNA repair activity, would result in selection and stabilization of spontaneous mutations in drug target genes, causing selection of a MDR strain in the presence of drug pressures. Efflux pump such as drrA may play a significant role in increasing fitness of low level drug resistant cells and assist in survival of Mtb till acquisition of drug resistant mutations with least fitness cost.

Project description:Neutrophil granulocytes are critical mediators of innate immunity and tissue regeneration. Rare diseases of neutrophil granulocytes may affect their differentiation and/or functions. However, there are very few validated diagnostic tests assessing the functions of neutrophil granulocytes in these diseases. Here, we set out to probe omics analysis as a novel diagnostic platform for patients with defective differentiation and function of neutrophil granulocytes. We analyzed highly purified neutrophil granulocytes from 68 healthy individuals and 16 patients with rare monogenic diseases. Cells were isolated from fresh venous blood (purity >99%) and used to create a spectral library covering almost 8000 proteins using strong cation exchange fractionation. Patient neutrophil samples were then analyzed by data-independent acquisition proteomics, quantifying 4154 proteins in each sample.

Project description:To elucidate the molecular mechanism mediating the inactivated effect of DMV neurons on fat absorption, we performed an activity-based protein profiling strategy, using Puerarin as a “bait”. The Puerarin-tag probe was synthesized with a photoreactive tag to enrich and visualize target proteins via a photoaffinity chemistry reaction. We verified that probe-tagged Puerarin retains the same effects of increasing fecal lipid excretion as non-tagged Puerarin. Probe-tagged Puerarin was added to the freshly isolated brainstem sample, and 10 doses of non-tagged Puerarin was used as a competitor of probe-tagged Puerarin. Following the photoaffinity reaction, targeted proteins were subsequently assessed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

Project description:Sequencing DNA fragments associated with proteins following in vivo cross-linking with formaldehyde (known as ChIP-seq) has been used extensively to describe the distribution of proteins across genomes. It is not widely appreciated that this method merely estimates a protein’s distribution and cannot reveal changes in occupancy between samples. To do this, we tagged with the same epitope orthologous proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida glabrata, whose sequences have diverged to a degree that most DNA fragments longer than 50 bp are unique to just one species. By mixing defined numbers of C.glabrata cells (the calibration genome) with S.cerevisiae samples (the experimental genomes) prior to chromatin fragmentation and immunoprecipitation, it is possible to derive a quantitative measure of occupancy (the occupancy ratio – OR) that enables a comparison of occupancies not only within but also between genomes. We demonstrate for the first time that this “internal standard” calibration method satisfies the sine qua non for quantifying ChIP-seq profiles, namely linearity over a wide range. Crucially, by employing functional tagged proteins, our calibration process describes a method that distinguishes genuine association within ChIP-seq profiles from background noise. Our method is applicable to any protein, not merely highly conserved ones, and obviates the need for the time consuming, expensive, and technically demanding quantification of ChIP using PCR, which can only be performed on individual loci. As we demonstrate for the first time in this paper, calibrated ChIP-seq represents a major step towards documenting the quantitative distributions of proteins along chromosomes in different cell states, which we term biological chromodynamics.

Project description:To understand the molecular basis of Down syndrome pathogenesis, we performed a transcriptome analysis of nine different tissues in Ts65Dn, an established mouse model of human trisomy 21. Ts65Dn mice have segmental trisomy of mouse chromosome 16 with ca. 128 genes at dosage imbalance (Reeves et al. 1995). The Ts65Dn mouse is widely used as a model for studies of DS because it is at dosage imbalance for the orthologs of about half the 284 Chr21 genes. Ts65Dn mice have several features that directly parallel developmental anomalies of DS. We compare here the expression of 136 mouse orthologs of Chr21 genes, 77 of which are triplicated in Ts65Dn, in trisomic and euploid mice. <br> <br> We designed a mouse cDNA expression array interrogating 136 mmu21 genes. RNA pools from four adult male Ts65Dn mice and four male euploid littermates were prepared from cortex and dissected from three to four month-old mice. Directly labeled first strand cDNA probes from nine different tissues were hybridized to the arrays in replicated hybridizations. A total of 446 genes that are not triplicated in Ts65Dn mice served as controls. These included 62 mmu21 genes from MMU10, MMU17, and non-triplicated portions of MMU16, plus 384 randomly distributed mouse cDNAs from the Unigene collection.

Project description:When plants are continuously treated with high concentration of CO2, they will show different physiological and biochemical characteristics due to the different conditions of the plants themselves and the environment, and the leaves, as the main organ of gas exchange between plants and the outside world, will first respond to CO2 stress through photosynthesis and respiration when the atmospheric concentration of CO2 rises. In this study, tetraploid Sophora japonica was selected as the research object to analyze the stomatal movement pattern and the changes of photosynthesis and respiration under high CO2 culture conditions, and we found that ROS and NO were synthesized and participated in the regulation of CO2-mediated stomatal closure, and we also proved that the alternate respiration pathway could alleviate the oxidative damage caused by high CO2 concentration. Combined with the proteomics approach, the key proteins responsive to high concentration of CO2 were mined according to the changes of differential proteins under different treatment conditions, with the aim of laying a theoretical foundation for the study of elucidating the response mechanism of tetraploid Sophora japonica under high concentration of CO2 treatment.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive deterioration of cognitive function. Evidence suggests a role for epigenetic regulation, in particular the cytosine modifications 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC,) in AD. 5hmC is highly enriched in the nervous system and displays neurodevelopment and age-related changes. To determine the role of 5hmC in AD, we performed genome-wide analyses of 5hmC in DNA from prefrontal cortex of post-mortem AD as well as RNA-Seq to correlate changes in methylation status with transcriptional changes. We also utilized the existing AD fly model to further test the functional significance of these epigenetically altered loci. We identified 325 genes containing differentially hydroxymethylated loci (DhMLs) in both the discovery and replication datasets, and these are enriched for pathways involved in neuron projection development and neurogenesis. Of the 325 genes identified, 140 also showed changes in gene expression by RNA-Seq. Proteins encoded by genes identified in the current analysis form direct protein-protein interactions with AD-associated genes, expanding the network of genes implicated in AD. Furthermore, we identified AD-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located within or near DhMLs, suggesting that these SNPs may identify regions of epigenetic gene regulation that play a role in AD pathogenesis. Finally using the existing AD fly model we showed that some of these genes could modulate the toxicity associated with AD. Our data implicate neuron projection development and neurogenesis pathways as potential targets in AD. These results indicate that incorporating epigenomic and transcriptomic data with GWAS data can expand the known network of genes involved in disease pathogenesis. Combination of epigenome profiling and Drosophila model enables us to identify the epigenetic modifiers of Alzheimer's disease.

Project description:Emerging evidence indicates that metabolic enzymes perform moonlighting functions during tumor progression, including the modulation of chemoresistance. However, the underlying mechanisms of these functions remain elusive. In this study, utilizing a metabolic CRISPR-Cas9 knockout library screen, we observed that loss of Glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM), a rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione biosynthesis, noticeably heightens the sensitivity of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells to platinum-based chemotherapy. Mechanistically, we unveil a noncanonical mechanism through which nuclear GCLM competitively interacts with NF-kappa-B-repressing factor (NKRF), a known inhibitor of NF-κB signaling, to promote NF-κB activity and subsequently facilitate chemoresistance. In response to platinum drug treatment, P38 MAPK phosphorylates GCLM at T17, resulting in its recognition by importin a5 and subsequent nuclear translocation. Furthermore, elevated expression of nuclear GCLM correlates with unfavorable prognosis and poor benefit from standard chemotherapy. Overall, our work shed light on the essential nonmetabolic role and posttranslational regulatory mechanism of GCLM in enhancing NF-κB activity and subsequent chemoresistance.

Project description:Vascular disease contributes to neurodegeneration, which is associated with decreased blood pressure in older humans. Plasmalogens, ether phospholipids produced by peroxisomes, are decreased in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Here we show that endothelium-derived ether phospholipids affect blood pressure, behavior, and neurodegeneration in mice. In young adult mice, inducible endothelial-specific disruption of PexRAP, a peroxisomal enzyme required for ether lipid synthesis, unexpectedly decreased circulating plasmalogens. PexRAP Endothelial KnockOut (PEKO) mice responded normally to hindlimb ischemia but had lower blood pressure and increased plasma renin activity. In PEKO as compared to control mice, tyrosine hydroxylase was decreased in the locus coeruleus, which maintains blood pressure and arousal. PEKO mice moved less, slept more, and had impaired attention to and recall of environmental events as well as mild spatial memory deficits. In PEKO hippocampus, gliosis was increased and a plasmalogen associated with memory was decreased. Despite lower blood pressure, PEKO mice had generally normal homotopic functional connectivity by optical neuroimaging of the cerebral cortex. Decreased GSK3 phosphorylation, a marker of neurodegeneration, was detected in PEKO cerebral cortex. In a co-culture system, PexRAP knockdown in brain endothelial cells decreased GSK3 phosphorylation in co-cultured astrocytes that was rescued by incubation with the ether lipid alkylglycerol. Our findings suggest that the endothelium is a source of complex lipids that confer neuroprotection in mice.
