Project description:Radula is a unique foraging organ to Mollusca, which is important for their evolution and taxonomic classification. Many radulae are mineralized with metals. Although the remarkable mechanical properties of mineralized radula are well-studied, the formation of mineralization from nonmineralized radula is poorly understood. Taking advantage of the recently sequenced octopus and chiton genome, we were able to identify more species-specific radula proteins by proteomics. Comparing these proteomes enable us to gain insight into the molecular components of nonmineralized and mineralized radula, highlighting that iron mineralization in chiton radula is possibly due to the evolution of ferritins and peroxiredoxins. Through in vitro binding assay, ferritin is shown to be important to iron accumulation into the nonmineralized radula. Moreover, radula proteomes are well adapted to their functionality. Octopus radula has many scaffold modification proteins to suit flexibility while chiton radula has abundant sugar metabolism proteins (e.g. glycosyl hydrolases) to adapt to algae feeding. This study provides a foundation for the understanding of Mollusca radula formation and evolution and may inspire the synthesis of iron nanomaterials.

Project description:Ethnopharmacological relevance: Gubenfangxiao decoction (GBFXD) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula derived from Yupingfensan, an ancient formula widely used to treat respiratory diseases such as repeated respiratory infection, allergic rhinitis, bronchitis, and asthma. In recent years, GBFXD has been applied to efficaciously and safely treat asthma. However, the mechanism of GBFXD is still not fully elucidated. Aim of the study: A label-free proteomic method was to employed to explore the protective mechanism of GBFXD in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-ovalbumin (OVA)-induced chronic persistent asthmatic mice. Materials and methods: After RSV-OVA challenge, mice were orally administered GBFXD at a dose of 36 g/kg/d accompanied with OVA nasal spray once every 3 days for 28 days. The label-free proteomics-based liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was used to explore the differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) in the serum from model mice compared with that in control mice (M:C), and in GBFXD-treated mice compared with that in model mice (G:M). We utilized OmicsBean (http://www.omicsbean.cn), a multi-omics data analysis platform, to perform bioinformatics analysis of DAPs. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western Blotting were performed to measure the levels of related proteins and verify the results of proteomics analysis. Results: A total of 69 significant DAPs were identified including 39 in M:C, 46 in G:M, and 16 common differential proteins. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the DAPs of M:C were mainly involved in inflammatory response and were related to lipid metabolism. However, the DAPs of G:M mostly participated in stress response, inflammatory response, and epithelial cell proliferation. Serum levels of Apoa-1, Apoc-1, Cfd, and Lrg1, EGFR and Lrg1 in the lungs were consistent with the results of proteomic analysis. Apoa-1 and Apoc-1 are closely related to cholesterol transport, lipid metabolism balance, and airway epithelial integrity; Cfd participates in immune response, affecting the occurrence and development of inflammation; EGFR and Lrg1 are involved in epithelial cell proliferation, influencing the process of airway remodeling. Conclusions: GBFXD may affect inflammatory and immune responses of asthma by regulating cholesterol transport and complement factor activation. Furthermore, it could repair damaged airway epithelium and avoid airway remodeling to prevent and treat asthma.

Project description:Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV), a member of the Gammaretrovirus genus in the Retroviridae family, causes an immunosuppressive, oncogenic and runting-stunting syndrome in multiple avian hosts. To better understand the host interactions at the transcriptional level, microarray data analysis was performed in chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days after infection with REV. This study identified numerous differentially expressed genes that were classified into several functional groups. Significant differences were mainly observed in the expression of genes involved in the immune response, especially during the later post-infection time points. These results revealed that differentially expressed genes play important roles in the pathogenicity of REV infection. Our study is the first to use microarray analysis to investigate REV, and these findings provide insights into the underlying mechanisms of the host antiviral response and the molecular basis of viral pathogenesis. Infection of Reticuloendotheliosis virus induced gene expression in chicken fibroblasts was measured at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days post-infection after exposure to a multiplicity of infection of 1. Both infection group and non-infection group experiments were performed for 3 independent replicates at each time point.

Project description:To investigate the genetic relationship between two major grain length loci GS3 and qGL3, we developed the near-isogenic lines (NILs), NIL-GS3 (GS3/qGL3), NIL-qgl3 (gs3/qgl3), NIL-GS3/qgl3 (GS3/qgl3) in the background of 93-11 (gs3/qGL3) by crossing and MAS approach. Four samples was analyzed: three near-isogenic lines (NILs), NIL-GS3 (GS3/qGL3), NIL-qgl3 (gs3/qgl3), NIL-GS3/qgl3 (GS3/qgl3) and their background of 93-11. Every sample had three independed duplications. And the primary panicle with 3-6 cm length from the three NILs and 93-11 were used for RNA preparation and hybrid with Rice Genome OneArray Microarray (Phalanx Biotech Group).

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function as regulators in a broad range of phenotypes. The Oriental River Prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) is an important commercial species that is widely distributed in freshwater and low-salinity estuarine regions of China and other Asian countries. To date, there are no reports describing M. nipponense miRNAs. In this study, Solexa deep sequencing technology was used for high-throughput analysis of miRNAs in a small RNA library isolated from four M. nipponense tissues (gill, hepatopancreas, muscle and hemocytes). In total, 9,227,356 reads were obtained, 4,293,155 of which were related to 267 unique miRNAs, including 203 conserved and 64 prawn-specific miRNAs. Furthermore, miRNA features including length distribution and end variations were characterized. Annotation of targets revealed a broad range of biological processes and signal transduction pathways regulated by M. nipponense miRNAs. In addition, 880 co-expressed and 39 specific (25 normoxia-specific and 14 hypoxia-specific) miRNAs of four combined tissues of prawns that may be involved in the response to hypoxia were confirmed using miRNA microarray analysis. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis of eight miRNAs in the normoxia and hypoxia groups showed good concordance between the sequencing and qPCR data. This study provides the first large-scale identification and characterization of M. nipponense miRNAs and their potential targets, and represents a foundation for further characterization of their roles in the regulation of the diversity of hypoxia processes.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer represents approximately 15–20% of all reported breast cancer cases, and is characterized by a shorter survival time and higher mortality rates compared to other breast cancer sub-types. Tumor microenvironment (TME) refers to the internal and external environment of tumor tissue. Increasing evidence indicates that a tumor’s microenvironment is tightly associated with the immunological surveillance and defense during the development of breast cancer. Although oncology studies employing digital dissection methodologies have provided some insight on the biological features of TME, the development of methods to investigate the cellular composition of the tumor microenvironment remain an important research priority. In this study, we extracted whole transcriptome from 30 Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients and then used bioinformatics approaches to characterize cell type content in tumor tissue compared with para-cancerous tissue. We identified 4 types of enriched immune cells and 6 types of downregulated immune cells in the tumor tissue samples. After comprehensive bioinformatics analyses, we developed an ‘immune infiltration score’ (IIS) to quantitatively model immune cell infiltration in TNBC. To demonstrate the utility of the IIS, we used 2 independent datasets for validation. We found that patients with a higher IIS showing a longer progression-free survival time and significantly better prognosis than those with a lower IIS value. In sum, we explored the immune infiltration landscape in 30 TNBC patients and provided a novel and reliable biomarker IIS to evaluate the progression-free survival and prognosis in the TNBC patients.

Project description:In the present study, a quantitative proteomic approach was used to analyse and compare the proteome in horns from endangered species (rhinoceros, Saiga antelope, and Tibetan antelope) and common species (yak, water buffalo, and goat) based on the isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) techniques. In total, 591 proteins were identified, and 321 were quantified and categorised based on molecular function, cellular component, and biological process. Principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) results based on differences in the amount of protein identified three major clusters, and proteins including transglutaminase, desmocollin, and elongation factors were selected as trait components from proteomic patterns of horn samples from different species. Quantitative proteomic analysis-based strategies can therefore provide further evidence for sustainable alternatives to replace animal horn from threatened species.
