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:An effective anti-cancer therapy should exclusively target cancer cells and trigger in them a broad spectrum of cell death pathways that will prevent avoidance. Here, we present a novel paradigm in cancer therapy that specifically targets the mitochondria and ER of cancer cells. We developed a peptide derived from the flexible and transmembrane domains of the human protein NAF-1/CISD2. This peptide (NAF-1) specifically permeated through the plasma membranes of human epithelial breast cancer cells, abolished their mitochondrial-ER network, and triggered cell death with characteristics of apoptosis, ferroptosis and necroptosis. In vivo analysis revealed that the peptide significantly decreased tumor growth in mice carrying xenograft human tumors. Computational simulations of cancer vs. normal cells membranes revealed that the specificity of the peptide to cancer cells is due to its selective recognition of their membrane composition. NAF-1 represents therefore a promising anti-cancer lead compound that acts via a unique mechanism.

Project description:Opportunistic infections of the respiratory tract often succeed under a weakened immune response caused by an underlying illness or hospitalization. The human fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans, and the bacterial pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae, are both well-characterized microbes that cause severe infections within immunocompromised individuals. In this study, we simulate a concentration-dependent pulmonary coinfection of a bacterial and fungal pathogen, and profile the proteomic changes by DDA vs. DIA. Dual perspective profiling provides new insights into host defense regulation of infection and pathogenic mechanisms of invasion.

Project description:Defining the molecular phenotype of single cells in-situ is essential for understanding tissue heterogeneity in health and disease. Powerful imaging technologies have recently been joined by spatial omics technologies, promising unparalleled insights into the molecular landscape of biological samples. One approach involves laser microdissection in combination with membrane glass slides for the isolation of single cells from specific anatomical regions for further analysis by spatial omics. However, so far this is not fully compatible with automated staining platforms and routine histology procedures such as heat-induced epitope retrieval, limiting reproducibility, throughput and integration of advanced staining procedures. This study describes a robust workflow for routine use of glass membrane slides, allowing precise extraction of tissue in combination with automated and multicolor immunofluorescence staining. The key advance is the addition of glycerol to standard heat-induced epitope retrieval protocol, preventing membrane distortion while preserving antigen retrieval properties. Importantly, we show that glycerol is fully compatible with mass-spectrometry based proteomics and does not affect proteome depth or quality. Further, we enable single focal plane imaging by removing remaining trapped air pockets with an incision. We demonstrate our workflow using the recently introduced Deep Visual Proteomics technology on the single-cell type analysis of adjacent suprabasal and basal keratinocytes of human skin. Our protocol extends the utility of membrane glass slides and enables much more robust integration with routine histology procedures, high-throughput multiplexed imaging and sophisticated downstream spatial omics technologies.

Project description:Epigenetic pharmaceuticals hold the promise of using cell-based regeneration to revolutionize wound healing treatment. Histone acetylation and deacetylation conducts an intriguing way that influences the fate of stem cells. In this context, we used pharmacological manipulation to coordinate histone acetylation in stem cells. When HDACs expression reduced or silenced using HDAC inhibitors, such as Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), a spectacular transformation occurred at the cellular and the molecular levels. In our study, we used adipose-derived stem cells which received consecutive SAHA treatment for 72 hours. No change in the cell viability could be noticed at the studied concentrations. On the other hand, a decrease in the protein expression of histone deacetylases at 1000 nM was found. The cell proliferation marker (Ki-67) was increased after SAHA treatment compared to the vehicle as shown by immunofluorescence staining. The expression of CCND1 gene expression was upregulated, while the protein expression of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen was downregulated. Alternatively, microarray analysis revealed that CDKN1A and MDM2 genes were upregulated under the influence of SAHA. On the other hand, the mass spectrometry pathway enrichment analysis showed that cell cycle, ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling and DNA are among the regulated pathways. This study suggested that SAHA as pharmaco-epigenetic agent might alter ADSCs determination through coordinated biological processes.

Project description:Oral transmission of T. cruzi is probably the most frequent mechanism among animals in the wild. In this context, there is a high prevalence of human infections in regions where triatomine infection with T. cruzi is low. This led to the hypothesis that the consumption of raw or undercooked meat from animals infected with T. cruzi could be responsible for the transmission of the infection. Therefore, the general objective of this study was to demonstrate the role of meat consumption from infected animals in the oral transmission of T. cruzi infection. Groups of five female mice Balb/c were fed with muscles obtained from mice in the acute phase of infection by the clone H510 C8C3hvir of T. cruzi, and the infection of the fed mice was monitored by a parasitemia curve. Similarly, we assessed the infective capacity of T. cruzi trypomastigotes and amastigotes by infecting groups of five mice Balb/c females, which were infected orally using a nasogastric probe, and the infection was monitored by parasitemia curve. Finally, different trypomastigote and amastigote inoculums were used to determine their infective capacity. Adhesion assays of T. cruzi proteins to AGS stomach cells were performed and the adhered proteins were detected by western blotting using monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies. In all cases, 60–100% of animals were fed meat from mice infected in the acute phase or infected by means of a nasogastric probe with trypomastigotes or amastigotes. These animals developed high parasitemia, and 80% died around day 40 post-infection. The adhesion tests showed that cruzipain is a molecule of trypomastigotes and amastigotes that binds to AGS cells. LC-MS/MS also confirmed that transialidase may be involved in TCT attachment of TCT or invasion of stomach cells. It was concluded that the consumption of meat from infected animals in the acute phase of T. cruzi infection allows transmission of the infection. Similarly, trypomastigotes and amastigotes were able to infect mice when administered orally, while cruzipain was a relevant molecule in this infective process.

Project description:Cell-to-cell communication is fundamental to multicellular organisms and unicellular organisms living in a microbiome. It is thought to have evolved as a stress- or quorum-sensing mechanism in unicellular organisms. A unique cell-to-cell communication mechanism that uses reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a signal (termed the ‘ROS wave’) was identified in flowering plants. This process is essential for systemic signaling and plant acclimation to stress and can spread from a small group of cells to the entire plant within minutes. Whether a similar signaling process is found in other organisms is however unknown. Here we report that the ROS wave can be found in unicellular algae, amoeba, ferns, mosses, mammalian cells, and isolated hearts. We further show that this process can be triggered in unicellular and multicellular organisms by a local stress or H2O2 treatment and blocked by the application of catalase or NADPH oxidase inhibitors, and that in unicellular algae it communicates important stress-response signals between cells. Taken together, our findings suggest that an active process of cell-to-cell ROS signaling, like the ROS wave, evolved before unicellular and multicellular organisms diverged. This mechanism could have communicated an environmental stress signal between cells and coordinated the acclimation response of many different cells living in a community. The finding of a signaling process, like the ROS wave, in mammalian cells further contributes to our understanding of different diseases and could impact the development of new drugs that target for example cancer or heart disease.

Project description:Aerobic glycolysis is a hallmark of virus-infected cells, leading to substantial accumulation and secretion of lactate. However, the regulatory roles of lactate during viral infections are still poorly understood. Here, we report that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection leverages lactate to induce widespread protein lactylation and promote viral spread. Lactyllysine decorates intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins, regulating viral protein condensates and immune signaling transduction. Dynamic lactylation of immune response pathways, a feature shared during infection with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), suppresses immunity through regulation of RBM14 and IFI16. K90 lactylation of the viral DNA sensor IFI16 blocks recruitment of the DNA-damage response master kinase DNA-PK, preventing IFI16-driven gene repression and cytokine responses. Together, we characterize global protein lactylation dynamics during virus infection, finding virus-induced lactate contributes to its immune evasion through direct inhibition of immune signaling pathways.

Project description:As the immune cells of the brain, microglia play a key role in various homeostatic and disease-related processes. In order to carry out their numerous functions, microglia are able to adopt a wide range of phenotypic states. The proteomic landscape represents a more accurate molecular representation of these phenotypes; however, microglia present unique challenges for proteomic analysis. This study implemented a streamlined liquid- and gas-phase fractionation method with data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and parallel accumulation serial fragmentation (PASEF) analysis on a TIMS-TOF instrument to compile a comprehensive protein library obtained from adult-derived, immortalized mouse microglia with minimal starting material (10µg). The empirical library consisted of 9,140 microglial proteins and was utilized to identify an average of 7,264 proteins per run from single-shot, DIA-based analysis of microglia. Additionally, a predicted library facilitated identification of 7,519 average proteins per run from the same DIA data, revealing complementary coverage compared to the empirical library and collectively increased coverage to approximately 8,000 proteins. Importantly, several immune response pathways were uniquely identified with empirical library approach. Overall, we report a simplified, reproducible approach for deep proteome coverage of microglia with low sample input and show the importance of library optimization for this phenotypically diverse cell type.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is major human pathogen causing severe and invasive infections in both community and healthcare settings. Although well studied, a comprehensive exploration of its dynamic and adaptive proteome is still somewhat lacking. Herein we employ streamlined liquid- and gas-phase fractionation with PASEF analysis on a TIMS-TOF instrument to expand coverage and explore the dark proteome of S. aureus. In so doing, we captured the most comprehensive S. aureus proteome to date, totaling 2,231 proteins (85.6% proteome coverage), and did so using a significantly simplified process, requiring less samples and input material. Furthermore, we demonstrated the utility of this library within the context of differential expression profiling by investigating the temporal dynamics of the S. aureus proteome. Notably, a significant portion of the library (94%) and related proteome (80.5%) was characterized by DIA-based proteomic analysis, where we noted alterations in metabolic/biosynthetic processes, ATP production, RNA processing, and an increase in stress response proteins such as chaperones and repair enzymes as cultures progressed into stationary phase. Collectively, our study shines new light on the hidden S. aureus proteome, generating a valuable new resource to the scientific community to facilitate further study of this dangerous human pathogen.
