Project description:Homo erectus remains have been found in Africa, Eurasia and Southeast Asia, dating back to 2 million years (Ma), but due to their age and preservation, obtaining informative molecular data from them his been difficult. We successfully extracted ancient enamel proteins from six Middle Pleistocene H. erectus specimens, approximately 0.4 Ma, from the Zhoukoudian, Hexian, and Sunjiadong sites. Five of these specimens are males, and one is female. All specimens from all three sites share two amino acid variants. Of these, AMBN-253G is unknown and has not been seen in other human lineages, including H. erectus from Dmanisi (Georgia), Homo antecessor from Atapuerca (Spain), Denisovans, Neanderthals, and modern humans. The other variant, AMBN-273V, has been previously identified in Denisovans, where it may have been introduced through populations related to these Middle Pleistocene H. erectus. The previously unknown super-archaic segments in Denisovans and later partially passed to modern humans thus likely originated from H. erectus. Late Middle Pleistocene H. erectus may have coexisted with Denisovans in parts of East Asia, where these interactions are presumed to have occurred.

Project description:This experiment aimed to investigate whether exosomess released by IPSC-cardiomyocytes during hypoxia can positively influence cardiac electrophysiology and miRNA expression during hypoxic stress. A multielectrode array (MEA) system was used as an in vitro method of recording real-time cardiac electrophysiological activity, highlighting the biological effects facilitated by exosomes. Additionally, miRNA-sequencing was performed to compare miRNA expressions in exosome-preconditioned and non-preconditioned IPSC-cardiomyocytes, elucidating important modulators of cardiac electrophysiology.

Project description:Lymph-node (LN) metastases predict for high recurrence rates in breast cancer patients. Eradication of micro-metastatic tumor cells is the primary goal of adjuvant systemic treatment. Decisions regarding systemic treatment depend largely on primary tumor characteristics rather than on characteristics of their LN metastases. However, it remains unclear to what extent LN metastases, having already metastasized locally, resemble their primary breast tumors and as such will be eradicated by the systemic therapy chosen. In this study we investigated the genetic differences between primary breast cancers and their paired LN metastases using array comparative genomic hybridization analyses on a high resolution 720K Nimblegen platform. Thus far, no metastasis-specific genomic aberrations have been identified. We hypothesized that this is due to low-resolution platforms and lack of stratification on breast cancer subtypes (specifically, triple-negative (TN) versus luminal). Furthermore, we speculated that as TN tumours are known to be more genetically unstable, their LN metastases would show an increase in random copy number aberrations (CNAs). Therefore, we studied 10 primary TN breast tumourM-bM-^@M-^SLN pairs and 10 luminal pairs and found that all LN metastases clustered nearest to their matched tumour except for two. These two were explained by poor hybridization quality and, interestingly, the presence of two histological components in one tumour. We found no significantly altered CNAs between pairs in the whole group, nor when subdivided over subtypes; neither did we find a CNA increase in LN metastases compared to primary tumours within the TN subgroup, suggesting most CNAs are functional and not random. Our findings suggest a strong clonal relationship between primary breast tumours and its LN metastases and support the use of the primary tumor characteristics to guide adjuvant systemic chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, since primary tumors and their subsequent LN metastases seem remarkably similar, at least prior to treatment. The experiment contains 20 paired primary breast cancer samples with their lymph node metastases, analysed on a 720 whole genome CGH array. Additionally, for one sample its two distinct histological subpopulations were analysed on the same platform.

Project description:This experiment was designed to study the interactions between Medicago truncatula and the charcoal rot pathogen Macrophomina phaeolina. Two-week-old plants grown in Magenta boxes supplied with 1/2 MS salt and 1% sucrose were inoculated with M. phaseolina covered wheat seeds, and roots were harvested at 24, 36 and 48 hours after inoculation. Control plants were mock inoculated with a sterile wheat seed, and roots were harvest 24 hours later. Pooled RNAs were used in the array experiment using Affymetrix GeneChip(r) Medicago Genome Array.

Project description:Archaeological bone material is increasingly being sampled for various molecular analyses. Minimally invasive sampling protocols should therefore be utilised whenever possible. We compare the proteomic output of 10 Early Neolithic Bos sp. humeri, from two different preservation contexts, of seven sampling protocols, namely retrieving bone chips (with and without demineralisation), acid etching (FASP and chemical neutralisation), eraser, membrane box, and polishing film. We note that minimally invasive sampling methods can extract a substantial amount of protein groups and provide sufficient taxonomic identifications if preservation conditions are favorable. However, if preservation conditions are poorer more invasive sampling techniques should be considered.

Project description:Hepatocellular adenomas (HCA) are rare benign tumors that constitute a heterogeneous entity, divided into 5 groups based on molecular features (1) H-HCA with inactivating mutations of Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1A (HNF1α), (2) inflammatory HCA (IHCA) with diverse mutations activating the JAK/STAT pathway, (3) b-HCA with activating β-catenin mutation (4) recently identified sh-HCA presenting a Sonic Hedgehog pathway activation and finally, (5) the unclassified HCA (UHCA)). Risk of bleeding of sh-HCA and UHCA is their main clinical feature with malignant transformation. Nowadays, no specific biomarker exists to evaluate this hemorrhage risk. The objective of this study was to combine laser microdissection and mass spectrometry analysis to define Hepatocellular Adenoma proteome in the purpose of identifying specific biomarkers able to predict this bleeding risk.

Project description:The identification of sex-specific peptides in human tooth enamel by nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) represents a quantum leap for the study of childhood and social relations more generally. Determining sex-related differences in prehistoric child rearing and mortality has been hampered by the inability to determine the biological sex of juveniles. We conducted nanoLC-MS/MS to identify sex-specific peptides in the dental enamel of a child from a settlement pit of the Early Bronze Age settlement of Schleinbach, Austria (c. 1950–1850 BC). Four perimortal impression fractures on the skull of the 5–6-year-old child indicate an intentional killing, with a co-buried loom weight as possible murder weapon. Proteomic analysis, conducted for the first time on prehistoric teeth in Austria, determined the child’s sex as male. While we cannot conclusively decide whether the child became the victim of conflicts between village groups or was slain by members of his own community, we suggest that contextual evidence points to the latter. A possible trigger of violence were the follow-on effects of an uncontrolled middle ear infection revealed by the osteological analysis. The boy from Schleinbach highlights the potential for further investigation of gender-biased violence, infanticide and child murder based on the recently developed method of proteomic sex identification.
