Project description:Transcriptional approach to study porcine tracheal epithelial cells individually or dually infected with swine influenza virus and Streptococcus suis
Project description:Ribonucleases (RNases) of different origin demonstrate antiviral effects that are mediated by the direct RNase action on RNA species and can also involve signal transduction modulation. To reveal cellular targets and explain the mechanisms underlying the antiviral effect employed by the small extracellular ribonuclease of Bacillus pumilus (binase) both in vitro and in vivo, a shotgun proteomic analysis of influenza A virus (H1N1pdm09)-infected A549 cells upon binase treatment, was performed.
Project description:In this study, we applied the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) technique to detect alterations in the proteomic profile of the jejunal mucosa using a porcine model in which piglets were offered the protein-limited (PL) diet. Protein identification and quantification for iTRAQ experiments were performed using ProteinPilot (v4.0.8085) software. The LC-MS/MS data were searched against the UniProtKB (sus scrofa). To minimize the false discovery rate (FDR), a threshold for protein identification was applied, with the confident value > 95% (amount to the confident value “unused ProtScore” > 1.3 in ProteinPilot software), and at least one unique peptide was considered for protein identification. Proteins that were quantified with fold change > 2.0 were considered to be differentially expressed proteins. We identified 5275 proteins, 202 of which were differentially expressed. Furthermore, we adopted function annotation analysis of all identified proteins and function enrichment analysis of all differentially expressed proteins to explore more meaningful proteins and pathways.
