In the present study we used DIA MS to characterize the profile of over 4,000 proteins in immortalized human astrocytes exposed to TNF, IL-1β, and LPS, as well as in primary human astrocytes cocultured with brain endothelial cells and exposed to LPS. For both immortalized and primary astrocytes, DIA...
This study aims to elucidate the extent of ex-vivo aspirin-induced acetylation on human platelet proteome from poorly controlled diabetic patients through a shotgun proteomic approach.
In this study, we aimed to investigate if the removal of abundant plasma proteins prior to EV isolation could improve plasma-derived EV characterization by LC-MS/MS by improving the proteome coverage. Plasma depletion was performed using single-use spin columns prior to SEC-based EV isolation. After...
This project aimed at investigating the impact of morphine exposure on brain endothelial cells via an in vitro monoculture of primary human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) and state of the art mass spectrometry-based proteomics, using a data-independent acquisition (DIA) MS-based quan...
The host central nervous system (CNS) response to infection with Trypanosoma brucei (T. b.) gambiense or T. b. rhodesiense parasites, the causing agent of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), is a poorly explored area. The two parasites are responsible for respectively a chronic and an acute form of...
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) caused by the extracellular protozoon Trypanosoma brucei, is a neglected tropical disease affecting the poorest communities in sub-Saharan Africa. HAT progresses from a hemolymphatic first stage (S1) to a meningo-encephalitic late stage (S2) when parasites reach t...
The main aim of this study is to decipher the mutual impact that high glucose levels and diabetes have on aspirin-mediated acetylation of COX-1 through a targeted parallel reaction monitoring MS approach.
In this study we have evaluated the effect of digoxin in human astrocytes. Our results have shown that non-cytotoxic concentration of digoxin is able to induce astrocytes activation, by affecting cytoskeleton proteins, increasing the expression of pro-inflammatory genes and altering energy metabolis...
Since the last decade, the field of extracellular vesicles (EVs) has increasingly grown. These “intracellular messengers” became interesting as biomarker source in the SNC research, because of their content, which may reflect the physiological state of their donor cells in a context of an external s...
