Project description:The intent of the experiment was to identify genes that were differentially expressed between dogs affected with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and breed-matched controls. Anterior cruciate ligament and knee synovial tissue biopsies were collected from 4 ACL rupture affected cases and 4 unaffected control dogs. Cases and controls were matched as closely as possible based on breed, sex, neutered status, age, and weight. Medications that the dogs were taking at the time of sample collection were also considered. We prioritized sample size and quality above all other variables, therefore, two matched pairs of Golden Retrievers were chosen with two matched pairs of Labrador Retrievers for this analysis. Tissues from cases were collected during knee stabilization surgery. Tissues from unaffected control dogs were collected from dogs undergoing pelvic limb amputation or euthanasia for reasons unrelated to this study. Illumina TruSeq RNA libraries were constructed and 150bp paired-end sequencing was performed using the Illumina Hi-Seq 2500 platform. Table 1.

Project description:Pet dogs may provide a useful large-animal model of spontaneously occuring non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but complete molecular characterization is lacking. We used gene expression microarrays to molecularly characterize canine lymphoma, and found similarities between canine B-cell lymphoma and human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. We isolated RNA from pre-treatment biopsies from dogs with B-cell lymphoma and performed gene expression profiling.

Project description:Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most common acquired heart disease in large- and giant-breed dogs with Doberman Pinschers representing one of the most frequently affected breeds. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs which play important roles in gene regulation. Different miRNA expression patterns have been described for human DCM and might represent potential diagnostic markers. There are no studies to date investigating miRNA expression profiles in canine DCM. Goals: The goals of this study were to screen the miRNAs expression profile of canine serum by using a miRNA microarray platform and to compare the miRNA expression patterns of a group of Doberman Pinschers with DCM and healthy controls. Results: Although total RNA concentrations were very low in canine serum samples, 421 different miRNAs were detectable with sufficient signal intensity on the miRNA microarrays. About 30 miRNAs were differentially expressed in the two groups, but did not reach statistical significance. No significant differences were found using specific miRNA PCR assays. Conclusions: More than 400 miRNAs can be detected in canine serum samples. Changes in expression levels of various miRNAs between healthy and DCM dogs could be detected, but the results did not reach statistical significance most probably due to the small group size. miRNAs are potential new circulating biomarkers in veterinary medicine and should be investigated in larger patient groups and additional canine diseases Blood was drawn from two groups of Doberman Pinschers: 4 healthy dogs and 4 dogs suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy. After clotting, samples were centrifuged and total mRNA was extracted from serum. These 8 serum samples were analyzed and the groups were compared

Project description:Canine idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (CIPF) is a chronic, progressive, interstitial fibrosing lung disease, manifesting as cough, exercise intolerance and ultimately, dyspnea and respiratory failure. It mainly affects West Highland white terriers (WHWTs), lacks curable treatment and has a poor prognosis. Aspiration of gastroesophageal refluxate may play a role in the development of CIPF. In the first part of this study, we completed label-free quantitative proteomic analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from CIPF and healthy WHWTs. In the second part, we evaluated potential protein markers of reflux aspiration from canine gastric juice and vomitus and evaluated whether these were present in BALF from the two groups.

Project description:Gastrointestinal (GI) mucus is continuously secreted and lines the entire length of the GI tract. Essential for health, it keeps the noxious luminal content away from the epithelium and propels forward the digesta. The aim of our study was to characterize the composition and structures of mucus throughout the various GI segments in dog. Mucus from the stomach, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), and large intestine (cecum, proximal and distal colon) was collected from 5 dogs. pH and water content of GI mucus and digesta were analyzed. Composition of all GI-tract segments from a domestic and a laboratory dog was determined by label-free global proteomics. A colonic-focussed composition analysis with TMT-labelled proteomics was used on jenunal and proximal and distal colonic mucus samples from 3 laboratory and 1 domestic dog. Finally, the composition of jejunal and colonic mucus samples of 3 laboratory and 1 domestic dog was evaluated with lipidomics and metabolomics. Structural properties were investigated using cryoSEM and rheology. The proteome was similar across the different GI segments. The highest abundant secreted gel-forming mucin in the gastric mucus was mucin 5AC, whether mucin 2 had highest abundance in the intestinal mucus. Lipid and metabolite abundance was generally higher in the jejunal mucus than the colonic mucus. In conclusion, the mucus is a highly viscous and hydrated material. The proteins, lipids and metabolites were similar throughout the GI tract, although abundances depended on location. These data provide an important baseline for future studies on human and canine intestinal diseases and the dog model in drug absorption.

Project description:Following endocytosis into the endosomal network, integral membrane proteins undergo sorting for lysosomal degradation or are retrieved and recycled back to the cell surface. Here we describe the discovery of an ancient and conserved multiprotein complex which orchestrates cargo retrieval and recycling and importantly, is biochemically and functionally distinct to the established retromer pathway. Composed of a heterotrimer of DSCR3, C16orf62 and VPS29, and bearing striking similarity with retromer, we have called this complex ‘retriever’. We establish that retriever associates with the cargo adaptor sorting nexin 17 (SNX17) and couples to CCC (CCDC93, CCDC22, COMMD) and WASH complexes to prevent lysosomal degradation and promote cell surface recycling of α5β1-integrin. Through quantitative proteomic analysis we identify over 120 cell surface proteins, including numerous integrins, signalling receptors and solute transporters, which require SNX17-retriever to maintain their surface levels. Our identification of retriever establishes a major endosomal retrieval and recycling pathway.

Project description:Background & aim: Flat adenomas form a specific phenotype of colorectal adenomas that has been associated with more severe molecular changes and consequently a more aggressive clinical behavior compared to their polypoid counterparts. In the present study we set out to compare one of the molecular changes most explicitly associated with adenoma to carcinoma progression, i.e. chromosomal instability, between flat and polypoid colorectal adenomas. Methods: Consecutive series of 83 flat and 35 polypoid adenomas were analyzed for DNA copy number changes using a high resolution arrayCGH platform as well as for mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. Gene ontology on the genes located on the significantly different regions was performed. Results: Overall, flat adenomas show similar DNA copy number changes as polypoid adenomas. Patterns of DNA copy number changes differed between the two phenotypes with significantly more frequently loss of 5q14.3 and 5q15-q23.3 in flat adenomas, while loss of 1p36.32-p35.3, 10q25.2-q25.3, 17p12 and chromosome 18 were more frequent in polypoid adenomas. The 5q15-q23.3 region harbors the APC locus, therefore mutation status of APC was investigated, showing significantly less mutations in flat adenomas. Pathway analysis and datamining linked the 5q region to inflammation. Conclusion: These results provide evidence that flat and polypoid adenomas have partly overlapping DNA copy number changes, while alterations more specific to flat adenomas have associations with inflammation. Loss of 5q has been associated with aggressive behavior and this could serve as an explanation for a more aggressive clinical behavior of flat lesions.
