Project description:The ubiquitous metabolite heme has diverse enzymatic and signaling functions in most mammalian cells. Through integrated analyses of mouse models, human cell lines and primary patient samples, we identify de novo heme biosynthesis as a selective dependency in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The dependency is underpinned by a propensity of AML cells, and especially leukemic stem cells (LSCs), to downregulate heme biosynthesis enzymes (HBEs) which promotes their self-renewal. Inhibition of HBEs causes collapse of mitochondrial Complex IV (CIV) and dysregulates the copper-chaperone system inducing cuproptosis, a form of programmed cell death brought about by the oligomerization of lipoylated proteins by copper. Moreover, we identify pathways that are synthetic lethal with heme biosynthesis, including glycolysis, which can be leveraged for combination strategies. Altogether, our work uncovers a heme rheostat that controls gene expression and drug sensitivity in AML and implicates HBE inhibition as a novel cuproptosis trigger.

Project description:Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are increasingly recognised for their potential in regenerative medicine, particularly in oral and maxillofacial surgeries. However, the unique microbial environment of the oral cavity necessitates a better understanding of how bacterial challenges may affect DPSC function to optimise their reparative capabilities and potential clinical/therapeutic use. This study focused on identifying and understanding differentially expressed proteins in response to Porphyromonas gingivalis challenge and utilises comparative proteomic methodology of the secretome and whole cell lysates with deeper analysis of differentially expressed proteins using STRINGDB and REACTOME databases to elucidate key proteins and networks. This study identified significant proteomic changes in human DPSCs in response to Pg infection, particularly in growth factor signalling, immune response, and wound healing. These insights advance our understanding of DPSC-pathogen interactions, promoting their potential for regenerative and immunomodulatory therapies against infection

Project description:Haemonchus contortus is a highly pathogenic, blood-feeding nematode that causes widespread disease and significant economic loss in livestock worldwide. Previous proteomic studies were constrained by incomplete genomic resources and limited analytical sensitivity, impeding comprehensive profiling across life stages. In this study, we integrated advanced tandem mass spectrometry with a chromosome-scale genome assembly of the Haecon-5 strain to construct the most detailed somatic proteome of H. contortus to date. We identified and quantified 7,002 proteins across five key developmental stages and sexes (i.e. egg, L3, L4, adult female and adult male), tripling the number identified in previous studies. Comparative analyses revealed pronounced stage-specific expression and functional specialisation, with parasitic stages enriched in proteins linked to metabolism, cellular function and environmental sensing. Fifteen proteins associated with the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) signalling pathway were upregulated in parasitic stages, suggesting a role in adaptation to hypoxia. Additionally, 150 proteases implicated in haemoglobin degradation were characterised, and functional assays confirmed markedly elevated haemoglobinolytic activity in blood-feeding stages. These findings offer key insights into H. contortus development and parasitism, and establish a high-resolution proteomic framework to underpin fundamental biological studies and enable the discovery of molecular targets for novel interventions against this and related nematodes.

Project description:Using nanoparticles based plasma enrichment strategies on plasma samples, we were able to achieve a huge increase of identified plasma proteins from around 700 to more than 5000 proteins as compared to neat plasma digest. The substantial increase in depth allowed us to perform in-depth analysis and we were able to apply this to a small cohort of plasma samples from pancreatic cancer (PC) patients with primary tumor, tumor that had metastases vs healthy controls. Majority of identified proteins were part of the Human Plasma Proteome Project (HPPP) database, and more than 300 proteins are on the list of FDA approved drug targets. We showed a large and significant increase in ribosomal proteins in plasma of PC that metastasized. ADH1C and ADH1B, both members of the alcohol dehydrogenase family, had one of the largest increase and potentially correlated with liver metastasis. We further highlighted 15 different potentially secreted and/or cell surface proteins that were otherwise not identified in neat, digested plasma and have potential to be useful markers due to their cancer associations. Lastly, we compared different mass spectrometer (Orbitrap Astral and Orbitrap Ascend) and column (depth and throughput) setups on the same dataset and showed similar conclusions potentially can be achieved, although the depth approach on the newer instrumentations can reveal additional insights in the plasma proteome.

Project description:TaMYB13 is a transcription factor that has been associated with fructan accumulation in previous studies in wheat (Xue et al. 2011 Plant journal 68: 857 - 870). In this study we aimed to find genes regulated by TaMYB13, through overexpression of this transcription factor in wheat and perform expression analysis by making use of Affymetrix genechip assays. Expression of control plants was compared to transgenic lines, and total RNA was extracted from Flag leaves at anthesis. In this experiment the genome wide gene expression was assessed from wheat flag leaf material harvested at anthesis. Control plants (BW43,BW44,BW45) were compared with transgenic lines that overexpress TaMYB13 (a20, b2, b36).

Project description:Global challenges with anthelmintic failure and resistance development lends impetus to the development of new nematocides (anthelmintics) with novel mechanism(s) of action. The free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is as an important model organism used for drug discovery and a powerful tool for anthelmintic screening, evaluation and target deconvolution. Previously, we conducted a whole-organism phenotypic screen of the ‘Pandemic Response Box’ (from Medicines for Malaria Venture, MMV) and identified a hit compound, called ABX464, with activity against C. elegans. Here, we explored this nematocidal pharmacophore on C. elegans, and then tested a series of 46 analogues for human hepatoma (HepG2) toxicity, revealing five compounds whose potency was similar or greater than that of ABX464. Subsequently, we employed thermal proteome profiling (TPP), protein structure prediction and an in silico docking algorithm to identify prime ABX464-target candidates. Taken together, the findings from this study contribute significantly to the early-stage drug discovery of a new nematocide based on ABX464. Future work is aimed at validating the ABX464-protein interactions identified here, and at assessing of ABX464 and associated analogues against a panel of parasitic nematodes, towards the development of a new anthelmintic with a novel mechanism of action.

Project description:Background: Cyst formation in parasitic protist Giardia duodenalis is critical to its transmission. Proteomic data is essential for the system-level understanding of the molecular mechanisms managing stage transition from a flagellated, binucleate trophozoite to a tetra-nucleate cyst. The current encystation proteome quantifies 16% of predicted protein coding genes and lacks complete coverage of the developmental transition. Given recent gains in mass spectrometry instrumentation, we have generated significantly improved proteomes for Giardia across encystation, providing framework for transcriptome-proteome correlation drawing insights into molecular networks modulating encystation in Giardia. Results: We have reproducibly identified 3,796 (64.6% of Giardia proteins) and quantified 3,402 proteins (56.12 % of Giardia proteins), tripling the currently published encystation proteome coverage. This includes timepoints from standard trophozoite growth (TY), during low-bile encystation priming (LB), mid-encystation (EC), and enriched, mature cysts (C), making this the first proteome study across the entire encystation process. This is also the first proteome analysis of trophozoites during low bile priming prior to in vitro induction of encystation, and analysis of mature cyst proteomes. Almost 28% (1,102 proteins) of the proteome is differentially changed during encystation including within proteasomal machinery, metabolic pathways and lipid metabolism, indicating a multimodal regulation in encystation. To further understand novel observations in lipid metabolism, we used hidden markov model (HMM) based domain prediction strategies and i-Tasser based structural modelling to provide evidence for the presence of three families of lipid transporters (LTP’s) StARkin (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein–related lipid transfer), ORP/Osh (Oxysterol Binding protein related protein), GLTP (Glycosphingolipid transfer protein) in Giardia. Finally, we performed functional interaction studies using in silico docking of newly identified LTP’s with corresponding lipid ligands to validate their interaction. This identified a shift in lipid species dependency in Giardia as the parasite progress towards cyst formation.
