Project description:Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a systemic disorder that manifests as a fluffy, proteinaceous fibrillar material throughout the body. In the eye, such deposits result in glaucoma (PEXG), due to impeding aqueous humor outflow. When a patient presents acute glaucoma, it is necessary to remove some of the aqueous fluid within the eye to relief pain and pressure. This label free proteomics dataset was collected from human donors during cataract surgery. The aqueous humor was collected during essential ophthalmic procedures that allowed paracentesis after obtaining informed consents from human subjects without collecting identifiers, but all disease and medication history were collected. The sample collection included non-glaucomatous controls (CTL-GC), those with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX-GC), and synthesized GC-Globulin pure protein (GC-Pure). Approximately 50-120 ul volume of AH was collected by paracentesis and stored in -80C immediately upon acquisition until analysis. Protein extraction was carried out by homogenization of the tissue in extraction buffer (TEAB, NaCl and SDS). Protein amounts were estimated and normalized to 10 ug across experimental samples. Samples were reduced using TCEP, alkylated with iodoacetamide and digested overnight with trypsin. Untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was performed on an Easy nLC 1000 liquid chromatograph coupled to a QExactive mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS). Data analysis was performed using Proteome Discoverer 3.0 and Graph Pad Prism 10. Each sample was run three separate times. Raw mass spectrometry data files were analyzed using Proteome Discoverer 3.0. The human proteome was downloaded from UniProt and used as the target database for protein identification. Max missed cleavage site was set to 2 and minimum peptide length to 6. Precursor Mass Tolerance was set to 10ppm and Fragment Mass Tolerance to 0.02 Da. Post-translational modifications for experimental proteins included oxidation, acetylation, and carbamidomethylation. The normalization was set to total peptide amount and confidence to low.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE10697: Self-Self Hybridisation were used to set confidence 99% intervals GSE10698: The effects of artificial tethering of chromosomes to the nuclear periphery using LacI/lap2b anchorage constructs 1 GSE10699: The effects of artificial tethering of chromosomes to the nuclear periphery using LacI/lap2b anchorage constructs 2 Background: The spatial organisation of the genome in the nucleus has a role in the regulation of gene expression. In mammals, chromosomal regions with low gene-density are located close to the nuclear periphery. Correlations have also been made between the transcriptional state of some genes and their location near the nuclear periphery. However, a crucial issue is whether this level of nuclear organisation directly affects gene function, rather than merely reflecting it. Methodology: To directly investigate whether proximity to the nuclear periphery can influence gene expression in mammalian cells. here we relocate specific human chromosomes to the nuclear periphery by tethering them to a protein of the inner nuclear membrane. Principal findings: We show that this can reversibly suppress the expression of some endogenous human genes located near the tethering sites, and even genes further away. However, the expression of many other genes is not detectably reduced and we show that location at the nuclear periphery is not incompatible with active transcription. The dampening of gene expression around the nuclear periphery is dependent on the activity of histone deacetylases. Significance: Our data show that the radial position within the nucleus can influence the expression of some, but not all, genes. This is compatible with the suggestion that re-localisation of genes to the peripheral zone of the nucleus could be used by metazoans to modulate the expression of selected genes during development and differentiation.
