Project description:Urinary proteins provide valuable insights into renal health, with implications spanning human and domestic animal veterinary medical research. However, the field of marine mammal medicine lacks comprehensive studies on urine protein composition. This research aimed to fill this gap by 1) selecting an optimal search strategy that yields the highest number of protein families in the bottlenose dolphin urine based on post-translational modifications (PTMs), 2) describing the urine proteome of wild bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Gulf of the Mexico, USA, considering sex (females vs. males), site (Barataria Bay, LA vs. Sarasota Bay, FL), and comparing with California sea lions (Zalophus californianus). Ten urine samples (Barataria Bay, LA: N= 6; Sarasota Bay, FL: N=4) collected during 2023 catch-and-release heath assessment were proteolytically digested and analyzed using an UltiMate 3000 Nano LC and Fusion Lumos Orbitrap mass spectrometer. A 2-step search strategy, incorporating dehydroalanine formation and semi-trypsin on the list of unassigned spectra, significantly increased the number of identified protein families by an average of 6.2% compared to the 1-step strategy (P < 0.001, t = -8.32). The top 30 proteins in bottlenose dolphin urine were ranked according to an exponentially modified protein abundance index for comparison based on sex, site, and species. There were no significant differences in urine proteins between sexes or sites (padj > 0.05), although there was sperm contribution in two of the male bottlenose dolphin urine samples. Two putative antimicrobial proteins (cathelicidin and lysozyme) were identified and found to be abundant in bottlenose dolphin urine, similar to California sea lions. The study also identified 27 potential markers of acute kidney injury and 12 regulators of kidney stone formation. This study established a reference database of urinary proteins from bottlenose dolphins, aiding future research in monitoring and evaluating renal health in marine mammals.

Project description:Employing Cre/loxP technology, a mouse model of liver specific Cdh1 (E-cadherin) depletion was created (fl/fl | +/wt). Previously, the mice had already been compared to littermates with normal Ecadherin levels (fl/fl | wt/wt), using a broad range of laboratory methods (Serum parameters, long-term weight analysis, histology, western blot, etc.). To analyze the effect of Cdh1 (E-Cadherin) depletion on the liver homeostasis on the RNA-level over the course of 3 time-points, liver tissue was aquired from mice groups aged 1 week, 3 weeks and 6 weeks. Mice with liver-specific Cdh1 depletion were compared to wildtype-like littermates. 1 week: n=2+2; 3 weeks: n=3+3; 6 weeks: n=3+3. Samples (mice) were not paired.

Project description:Oligodendrocyte differentiation and subsequent myelination rely on strict regulatory mechanisms and molecules. Here we aimed at understanding the role of the Rho GTPase RhoA during oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination in vivo. Using a conditional cell-specific ablation of Rhoa (Rhoa fl/fl mice crossed with Cnp-Cre mice) in oligodendrocytes, we show that RhoA controls the timing and progression differentiation and myelination. To identify putative mechanisms underlying the Rhoa cKO phenotype, we performed quantitative label-free LC-MS/MS proteomics on optic nerves from Rhoa cKO (Rhoa fl/fl Cre+) and control mice (Rhoa fl/fl Cre-) at 30 days post-birth (P30). Manual annotation of the differentially abundant proteins showed a large modulation of several proteins clusters associated with actin cytoskeleton, signal transduction and mitochondria.

Project description:Inferring the heritability of gene expression is one of the main areas of the field of genetical genomics. With the possibility to treat the abundances of gene transcripts as a suite of quantitative traits, genetical genomics can make an extensive use of the microarray technology. Here we extended a major method for estimating the heritability of a quantitative trait, single parent-offspring regression, to assess the heritability of the expression of genes with two-channel microarrays. In a series of maternal parent-offspring pairs of Interior spruce (Picea glauca x engelmannii, our focus in the outer stem tissues is the expression of defense-related genes, the heritability of which can affect fitness and necessary for evolution by natural selection. Parent-offspring pairs of Interior spruce planted as a part of Tree Breeding and Improvement Program of the Forest Genetics Section, British Columbia Ministry of Forests and Range, Prince George, BC, Canada (http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/forgen/interior/spruce.htm#1) were used. A total of 30 trees, comprising 15 parent-offpsring pairs were sampled. These include15 offsprings and 15 maternal parents (grafts), which were planted within ~ 1Km range west (122º 42’ 43’’W, 53º 45’41’’N) of the offsprings, hence grown in a relatively similar environment. The bark and the attached phloem were separated from inner layers in the mid-morning hours of June 25, 2008, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and transferred into separate containers. A chain design was decided for gene expression profiling (a total of 45 slides) using the Treenomix third generation cDNA microarray platform (GEO accession #: GPL5423). Array350 kit (Genisphere, Hatfield, USA) was chosen for the microarray hybridizations. The slides were scanned with a ProScanArray scanner (PerkinElmer, Downers Grove, IL, USA), and the scanned TIF images were processed by ImaGene software (BioDiscovery, Inc., El Segundo, CA, USA) to quantify spot signals. Normalization was done between arrays using variance stabilizing (VSN) method for ratio based analysis of the expression data.

Project description:PROTON GRADIENT5 (PGR5) is thought to promote cyclic electron flow (CEF) and its deficiency causes increased photosensitivity of photosystem I (PSI), leading to lethality under fluctuating light (FL). By screening for suppressor mutations that rescue FL lethality of pgr5 plants, we identified a portfolio of mutations affecting 12 photosynthesis-related proteins. Here we performed a proteomic analysis to compare a mutant lacking PGR5 vs wildtype ( at2g04360-1/pfsc1-1 vs. Col-0)

Project description:Iron is an essential nutrient for humans as well as for pathogens. Hence, its correct distribution at the systemic and cellular level is mandatory for mounting an effective innate immune defense. Here we delved into the role of macrophage-expressed iron storing protein ferritin H (FTH) in immune response against the model intracellular pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium. Mice lacking FTH in the myeloid lineage (LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl) displayed impaired iron storage capacities in tissue leukocyte compartment, increased levels of labile iron in macrophages and an accelerated macrophage-mediated iron turnover. Without iron supplementation, wildtype (WT) and LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl animals showed comparable susceptibility to Salmonella infection. Interestingly, iron supplementation rapidly elicited symptoms of cytokine storm and drastically shortened survival of LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl mice. Mechanistically, we traced this phenotype back to labile iron-mediated hyperactivity of the inflammasome in FTH-deficient macrophages, culminating in excessive IL-1β secretion and secondary triggering of NF-kappaB-dependent inflammatory circuits. Accordingly, bacterial burden and cytokine levels in iron-loaded LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl mice could be effectively kept at bay by pharmacological inflammasome and IL-1β blockade. These findings point towards a previously unrecognized role of ferritin as an inhibitor of iron-dependent inflammasome activity in macrophages and a checkpoint of systemic innate response.

Project description:Extracellular protein disulphide isomerases (PDIs) are required for in vivo thrombus formation in mice. Platelets secrete ~10% of their PDIs upon activation, including PDI, endoplasmic reticulum protein 57 (ERp57), ERp72, ERp46 and ERp5, which promote platelet aggregation. However the role of intracellular PDIs in platelet function is unknown. In the current study, we aimed to characterize the role of ERp5 (gene Pdia6) using platelet conditional knockout mice (Pf4Cre+/ERp5fl/fl). Pf4Cre+/ERp5fl/fl mice developed mild macrothrombocytopenia. Platelets deficient in ERp5 showed a marked increase in constitutive ER stress as indicated by a 2-fold upregulation of ER proteins including PDI, ERp57, ERp72, ERp46, GRP78, calreticulin and the phosphorylation of IRE-1 and eIF2a. The activation of platelet ER stress pathways in Pf4Cre+/ERp5fl/fl mice was associated with increased protein secretion, Ca2+ mobilization and thrombus formation in a carotid injury model. Our results support that ERp5 acts as negative regulator of ER stress response in platelets, and highlight the differential action of intracellular versus extracellular ERp5. The results also indicate a previously unanticipated role of platelet ER stress in platelet secretion. This may have important implications for therapeutic applications of ER stress inhibitors in thrombosis.

Project description:Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are highly diverse complex carbohydrates secreted in human milk. HMOs are indigestible by the infant and instead are metabolized by bifidobacteria in the infant gut microbiome to produce molecules that promote infant health and development. 2´fucosyllactose (2´FL) is an abundant HMO and is utilized by Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis, a predominant member of the infant gut microbiome. Currently, there is not a scientific consensus on how or if bifidobacteria metabolize the fucose portion of 2´FL or free fucose. This proteomic analysis was conducted in order to characterize the metabolic pathway by which B. infantis utilizes fucose.
