Project description:Loiasis, caused by the filarial nematode Loa loa, imposes a significant burden of disease in endemic regions in West and Central Africa. Manifestations include microfilaria in the blood (MF) and migration of the adult eye worm (EW), with clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic infections to life threatening organ involvement. The diagnostic gold standard, microscopic detection of microfilaria in the blood, remains difficult due to widely varying microfilaria counts, frequent amicrofilaraemia in patients with EW, and unreliable serological assays. By applying high-throughput plasma proteomics, we investigated the human host response in 274 patients with different L. loa disease states (INF), including EW (n=148), MF (n=42), or both (EWMF; n=84), compared to 136 loa-negative (LN) controls. Five proteins were elevated in INF compared to LN, including IGHG3, IGHG4, and LCP1. Four followed the trend from LN to EW to MF and EWMF, reflecting a more pronounced host response to higher microfilaria couMoMoreover, IGHG4 correlated positively with eosinophil and microfilarial counts underlining its role in chronic, parasitic infections. 63 plasma proteins exhibited notable differences depending on self-reported symptoms. The proteomic signature allowed for accurate classification of EW (AUROC = 0.73) and microfilaria positive (0.84) individuals. Together, L. loa infection leads to relevant alterations of the host plasma proteome, highlighting the importance of further in-depth research on this highly neglected parasitic disease.

Project description:Modern mass spectrometers routinely allow deep proteome coverage in a single experiment. These methods are typically operated at nano and micro flow regimes, but they often lack throughput and chromatographic robustness, which is critical for large-scale studies. In this context, we have developed, optimized and benchmarked LC-MS methods combining the robustness and throughput of analytical flow chromatography with the added sensitivity provided by the Zeno trap across a wide range of cynomolgus monkey and human matrices of interest for toxicological studies and clinical biomarker discovery. SWATH data independent acquisition (DIA) experiments with Zeno trap activated (Zeno SWATH DIA) provided a clear advantage over conventional SWATH DIA in all sample types tested with improved sensitivity, quantitative robustness and signal linearity as well as increased protein coverage by up to 9-fold. Using a 10-min gradient chromatography, up to 3,300 proteins were identified in tissues at 2 µg peptide load. Importantly, the performance gains with Zeno SWATH translated into better biological pathway representation and improved the ability to identify dysregulated proteins and pathways associated with two metabolic diseases in human plasma. Finally, we demonstrate that this method is highly stable over time with the acquisition of reliable data over the injection of 1,000+ samples (14.2 days of uninterrupted acquisition) without the need for human intervention or normalization. Altogether, Zeno SWATH DIA methodology allows fast, sensitive and robust proteomic workflows using analytical flow and is amenable to large-scale studies. This work provides detailed method performance assessment on a variety of relevant biological matrices and serves as a valuable resource for the proteomics community.

Project description:Globally, over 65 million individuals are estimated to suffer from post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). A large number of individuals living with PASC experience cardiovascular symptoms (i.e. chest pain and heart palpitations) (PASC-CVS). The role of chronic inflammation in these symptoms, in particular in individuals with symptoms persisting for >1 year after SARS-CoV-2 infection, remains to be determined. Here, we show that compared to individuals with a resolved SARS-CoV-2 infection (and no persistent symptoms), individuals with prolonged PASC-CVS had elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, these cytokines were found to be present in trace amounts, such that they could only be detected with the use of novel nanotechnology. Importantly, these trace-level cytokines had a direct effect on the functionality of primary human cardiomyocytes in vitro. Proteomics analyses demonstrated further differences in PASC-CVS and recovered plasma including increased abundance of complement and coagulation associated proteins.

Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) play a key role in the activation of the autoimmune response in LN. Recently we demonstrated that these cells infiltrate the kidney of patients with LN at tubulointerstitial level. The pDCs are the main producers of IFN-alpha, whose effects on the renal tubule are poorly understood. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of INF-alpha in renal epithelial cells (RPTEC). We investigated the effect of IFN-alpha on the whole-genome gene expression profile in RPTEC cells,. Genomic analysis showed that after stimulation, 108 genes are up-regulated and only 7 are down-regulated, with a fold-change> 2. The Gene Set Enrichment analysis confirmed that IFN-alpha induced the pathway of antigen presentation and the inflammatory signaling in RPTEC. Among the up-regulated genes involved in these pathways, there were HLA-I, the ubiquitins (FBXO6 and DTX3L) and the immunoproteasome subunits LMP7. We performed the validation of these genes by real time PCR and citometry experiments on RPTEC stimulated with IFN-alpha. Immunohistochemical analysis of LMP7 and MXA protein, specific marker of IFN-alpha, showed a significant upregulatation of both proteins in renal biopsies of patients with LN class IV compared to class I. Confocal microscopy showed the colocalization of LMP7-MXA in tubular epithelium of patients with LN class IV and activation of inflammatory signaling via NF-kB in the MXA+ tubules. Our data suggested that inhibition of INF-alpha pathways could represent a novel therapeutic strategy to reduce renal tubular damage in patients with LN. To identify genes specifically modulated by INF-alpha in RPTEC, we stimulated 3 different cell clones with 100U/ml INF-alpha for 48 hours and compared their whole-genome gene expression profiles with that from 3 RPTEC clones cultured without stimuli.

Project description:miR-493-5p, miR-3662, and miR-589-3p were estimated as working microRNAs in bleomycin- and methotrexate-induced phenotypic changes in A549 cells via microRNAs-Proteins Analysis of Integrative Relationship (miR-PAIR). To verify the effect of these miRNAs on the their target protein expression levels, comprehensive expression of proteins in A549 cells treated with miR-493-59, miR-3662, and miR-589-3p mimic was examined by SWATH-MS method. As expected by a miR-PAIR mehtod, almost target proteins were succesfully regulated by miR-493-5p and miR-589-3p mimics.

Project description:Protein glycosylation is a critical PTM for the stability and biological function of many proteins, but full characterisation of site-specific glycosylation of proteins remains analytically challenging. Collision induced dissociation (CID) is the most common fragmentation method used in LC-MS/MS workflows, but loss of labile modifications render CID inappropriate for detailed characterisation of site-specific glycosylation. Electron-based dissociation (ExD) methods provide alternatives that retain intact glycopeptide fragments for unambiguous site localisation, but these methods often underperform CID due to increased reaction times and reduced efficiency. Electron activated dissociation (EAD) is another strategy for glycopeptide fragmentation. Here, we use a ZenoTOF 7600 SCIEX instrument to compare the performance of various fragmentation techniques for the analysis of a complex mixture of mammalian O- and N-glycopeptides.

Project description:The fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum infects a broad range of dicotyledonous plant species and is the causative agent of stem rot in Brassica napus. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the defense response, we studied the patterns of gene expression in a partially resistant variety of ZhongYou 821 (ZY821) and a susceptible line from Westar over five time points, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-inoculation (hpi) using a B. napus oligonucleotide microarray. Maximum differential gene expression was observed at 48 hpi in both genotypes with ZY821 responding more quickly than Westar. Specific sets of genes exhibited higher levels of expression at the earlier stages of the infection (6-12 hpi), including genes encoding defense-associated proteins such as chitinases, glucanases, osmotins and lectins and genes encoding transcription factors belonging to the zinc finger, WRKY, AP2, and MYB classes. Genes encoding enzymes involved in JA, ethylene, and auxin synthesis were induced in both genotypes, as were those for gibberellin degradation. Changes in metabolic pathways affecting carbohydrate and energy metabolism appeared to be directed toward shuttling carbon reserves to the TCA cycle. Genes involved in glucosinolate and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis were highly up-regulated suggesting that secondary metabolites are also important components of the response to S. sclerotiorum in B. napus.
