Project description:Gleason grading is an important prognostic indicator for prostate adenocarcinoma and is crucial for patient treatment decisions. However, intermediate-risk patients diagnosed in Gleason Grade Groups (GG) 2 and GG3 can harbour either aggressive or non-aggressive disease, resulting in under- or over-treatment of a significant number of patients. Here, we performed proteomic, differential expression, machine learning, and survival analyses for 1,348 matched tumour and benign samples from 278 patients. Three proteins (F5, TMEM126B and EARS2) were identified as candidate biomarkers in patients with biochemical recurrence. Multivariate Cox regression yielded 18 proteins, from which a risk score was constructed to dichotomise prostate cancer patients into low- and high-risk groups. This 18-protein signature is prognostic for the risk of biochemical recurrence and completely independent of the intermediate GG. Our results suggest that markers generated by computational proteomic profiling have the potential for clinical applications including integration into prostate cancer management.

Project description:Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing challenge for therapy and management of bacterial infections. Currently, antimicrobial resistance detection relies on phenotypic assays, which are performed independently of species identification. On the contrary, phenotypic prediction from molecular data using genomics is gaining interest in clinical microbiology and might become a serious alternative in the future. Although, in general protein analysis should be superior to genomics for phenotypic prediction, no untargeted proteomics workflow specifically related to AMR detection has been proposed so far. In this study, we present a universal proteomics workflow to detect the bacterial species and antimicrobial resistance related proteins in the absence of secondary antibiotic cultivation in less than 4 h from a primary culture. The method was validated using a sample cohort of 7 bacterial species and 11 AMR determinants represented by 13 protein isoforms which resulted in a sensitivity of 92 % (100 % with vancomycin inference) and a specificity of 100 % with respect to AMR determinants. This proof-of concept study demonstrates the high potential of untargeted proteomics for clinical microbiology.

Project description:Polydopamine (PDA) is a polymer obtained from the self-polymerization of dopamine monomers; during the synthesis process, spherical nanoparticles are formed (PDA NPs), presenting several interesting properties such as high drug encapsulation capacity, easy and versatile surface modification, ability to convert near-infrared radiation (NIR) into heat, and strong antioxidant properties. In this work, PDA NPs have been proposed as an anti-cancer tool through the combination of NIR-mediated hyperthermia loading with a chemotherapeutic agent, sorafenib (SRF), specifically effective on liver cancer. Cell membranes isolated from hepatocarcinoma cancer cells (HepG2) have been exploited for the coating of the nanoparticles (thus obtaining CM-SRF-PDA NPs), in order to achieve homotypic targeting. The selective targeting capacity, photothermal, and chemotherapeutic activity of CM-SRF-PDA NPs have been evaluated on cell cultures in static and dynamic conditions, besides on 3D culture models. Eventually, the therapeutic effectiveness of the proposed approach has also been tested ex-ovo on a HepG2 spheroids-grafted chorioallantoic membrane model of quail embryos. This comprehensive investigation, supported by proteomic analysis, strongly suggest the developed nanoplatform for further pre-clinical investigations in the treatment of liver cancer.

Project description:Untreated hypertension is a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD); however, this association is not well understood. The aim of this study was to reveal protein signatures that bridge the pathophysiological changes in hypertension to AD. Using untargeted proteomics, we analyzed frontal cortex brain samples from aged (30- and 40-week-old) spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs, n = 12), and age-matched normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY, n = 8) controls, and human AD patients (Braak stages 4-6) (n = 30), cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) (n = 5), non-demented controls (Braak stages 0-3) (n = 37). Following differential expression analyses in each species, we identified 24 proteins in SHRs and AD, whose trajectory pattern over the progression of hypertension, aligned with those observed during AD Braak stage progression, compared to respective controls. The proteins were significantly associated with extracellular exosomes. Immunostaining and spatial proteomics support vesicle accumulation and dysregulated exosome protein signatures in the cerebrovasculature of both SHR and AD brains. Our findings demonstrate cross-species translatability between AD and the SHR and provide novel mechanistic insights into a shared dysregulation of cerebral artery-associated exosomes.

Project description:Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing challenge for therapy of bacterial infections. Currently, patient treatment is guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) using phenotypic assays and species identification by MALDI-ToF biotyping. Bacterial phenotype prediction using omics technologies could offer several advantages over current diagnostic methods. It would allow species identification and AST to be combined in a single measurement, it would eliminate the need for secondary cultivation and could enable the prediction of phenotypes beyond AMR, such as virulence. In this study, the potential of proteomics for clinical microbiology was evaluated in an analysis of 126 clinical isolates covering 16 species including all ESKAPE genera and 30 of the most common AMR determinants. For this purpose, a flexible workflow was developed, which enables to report the AMR phenotype and the species of primary cultures within 2h. Proteomics provided high specificity (99.9%) and sensitivity (94.4 %) for AMR detection, while allowing species identification from very large sequence databases with high accuracy. The results show, that proteomics is well suited for phenotyping clinical bacterial isolates and has the potential to become a valuable diagnostic tool for clinical microbiology in the future.

Project description:Microarray experiments have generally focused on magnitude of gene expression changes in pathological conditions, thereby using the method as a high throughput screen to identify candidate marker genes and/or to validate phenotypic differences. We have used novel strategies to extract additional information from array studies, including expression variability and coordination, from which organizational principles of transcriptomes are emerging. We have reported that expression level, variability and coordination of numerous genes are regulated in brains of Gja1-/- mice with respect to wildtypes. Moreover, expression coordination with Gja1 in wildtypes largely predicted expression regulation in Gja1-/- tissues. We now report a remarkable overlap between regulations in Gja1-/- and Gjb1-/- brains, and that both differ markedly from those in Gja9-/- brain. Since in brain these three connexins are expressed in different cell types (Gja1 in astrocytes, and ependymal and vascular cells, Gjb1 in oligodendrocytes, and Gja9 in neurons and microglia), and because astrocytes and oligodendrocytes may form syncytia coupled by gap junction channels, these observations suggest the existence of distinct connexin-dependent panglial and neuronal transcriptomic networks. Such networks, where linkage partners are rearranged and strengths modified in brains of knockouts, may explain downstream and parallel 'ripples' of phenotypic change resulting from single gene alterations as the composition and interactions of transcription factor networks in the wildtype brain were identified and found to be altered disruption of Gja1 or Gjb1. The transcription factors also formed network hubs with genes from other functional categories, thus allowing regulation of one functional pathway through manipulation of another. Keywords: genetic modification The brain transcriptomes of Gja9(-/-) and Gja9(+/-) P10 mice were compared to that of P10 wildtype mouse using the "multiple yellow" design in which extracts of biological replicas of the same genotype were hybridized with six 27k AECOM mouse cDNA microarrays (4 biological replicas of each genotype). These data were further compared to previously reported data on brain of neonatal wildtype, Gja1(-/-), Gja1(+/-) and Gjb1(-/-) mice (four biological replicas per genotype, reference sample design).

Project description:The success of bottom-up proteomic analysis frequently depends on the efficient removal of contaminants from protein or peptide samples before LC-MS/MS. For a peptide clean-up workflow, the single-pot solid-phase-enhanced peptide sample preparation on carboxylate-modified paramagnetic beads (termed SP2) was evaluated for sodium dodecyl sulfate or polyethylene glycol removal from Arabidopsis thaliana tryptic peptides. The robust and efficient 40-min SP2 protocol, tested for a 10 ng, 250ng and 10µg peptide sample, was proposed and benchmarked thoroughly against the ethyl acetate extraction protocol. The SP2 protocol on carboxylated magnetic beads proved to be the robust approach even for simultaneous removal of massive sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) contaminations from AT peptide samples in respect of the LC-MS/MS data outperforming ethyl acetate extraction.

Project description:Background and Aims: Colorectal adenomas (CRAs) are precursor lesions that can progress to adenocarcinomas. Current clinical guidelines categorize patients into risk groups based on adenoma characteristics observed during index colonoscopy, but this may lead to overtreatment. Our aim was to establish a molecular feature-based risk allocation framework towards improved patient stratification. Methods: Deep Visual Proteomics (DVP) is a novel approach that combines image-based artificial intelligence with automated microdissection and ultra-high sensitive mass spectrometry. Here we used DVP on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) CRA tissues from nine patients. Immunohistological staining for Caudal-type homeobox 2 (CDX2), a gene implicated in colorectal cancer, enabled the characterization of cellular heterogeneity within distinct tissue regions and across patients. Results: DVP seamlessly integrated with current pathology workflows and equipment, identifying deleted in malignant brain tumors 1 (DMBT1), myristoylated alanine rich protein kinase C (MARCKS), and cluster of differentiation 99 (CD99) correlated with disease recurrence history, making them potential markers of risk stratification. The spatial and cell type specific capabilities of DVP uncovered a metabolic switch towards anaerobic glycolysis in areas of high dysplasia, which was specific for the cells with high CDX2 expression. Conclusion: The application of spatially resolved proteomics to CRA revealed three new potential markers for early-stage tumor development, and provided novel insights into metabolic reprogramming. Our findings underscore the potential of this technology to refine early-stage detection and contribute to personalized patient management strategies.

Project description:Although KRAS mutation is a hallmark of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), mutated KRAS remains an intractable pharmacological target. Consequently, an understanding of the RAS effector pathway(s) required for PDA maintenance is critical for improved strategies to treat this disease. Here we demonstrate that expression of BRAFV600E, but not PIK3CAH1047R, in the mouse pancreas led to PanIn lesions. Moreover, concomitant expression of BRAFV600E and TP53R270H resulted in lethal PDA. A large panel of PDA cell line panel was deployed to derive genomic classifiers of MEK inhibitor sensitivity. This classifier correctly predicted survival benefit in two novel in vivo syngeneic, orthotopic models of PDA. Consequently, we conclude that RAF?MEK?ERK signaling is central to the initiation, progression and maintenance of PDA and propose predictive biomarkers of response to MEK inhibition. These data further emphasize the value of leveraging multiple experimental systems to prioritize pathways for intervention in human PDA. RNA was extracted from human PDA cell line samples and hybridized on Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 microarrays. The CEL files were processed using R based Bioconductor and normalized values were obtained using RMA. RNA was extracted from mouse PDA cell lines and hybridized on Affymetrix Mouse 430a 2.0 microarrays. The CEL files were processed using R based Bioconductor and normalized values were obtained using RMA.
