Project description:The canine transmissible veneral tumour (CTVT) is one of the few known clonally transmissible cancers in nature. CTVT regresses spontaneously or after a single treatment with vincristine, however we know little of the mechanisms. To understand CTVT regression, we performed transcriptional analyses on serial biopsies of regressing and non-regressing CTVT, aiming to identify the likely drivers of CTVT regression.

Project description:The canine transmissible veneral tumour (CTVT) is one of the few known clonally transmissible cancers in nature. CTVT regresses spontaneously or after a single treatment with vincristine, however we know little of the mechanisms. To understand CTVT regression, we performed methylome analyses on serial biopsies of regressing and non-regressing CTVT, aiming to identify the likely drivers of CTVT regression.

Project description:Spider silk proteins are synthesized in the silk-producing glands, where the spidroins are produced, stored and processed into a solid fiber from a crystalline liquid solution. Despite great interest in the spider silk properties, that make this material suitable for biomedical and biotechnological applications, the mechanism of formation and spinning of the silk fibers has not been fully elucidated; and no combination of proteomic and transcriptomic study has been carried out so far in the spider silk-producing glands. Nephila clavipes is an attractive orb-web spider to investigate the spinning process of silk production, given the properties of strength, elasticity and biocompatibility of their silk fibers. Thus, considering that the combination of proteomic and transcriptomic analysis may reveal an extensive repertoire of novel proteins involved in the silk spinning process, and in order to facilitate and enable proteomics in this non-model organism, the current study aims to construct a high quality reference mRNA-derived protein database that could be used to identify tissue specific expression patterns in spider silk glands. Next-generation sequencing has offered a powerful and cost-efficient technique for the generation of transcriptomic datasets in non-model species using diverse platforms such as the Illumina HiSeq, Roche 454, Pacific Biosystems, and Applied Biosystems SOLiD; In the current study, the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform will be used to generate a N. clavipes spider silk glands transcriptome-based protein database. The transcriptome data generated in this study will provide a comprehensive and valuable genomic resource for future research of the group of spider silk-producing glands, in order to improve our understanding of the overall mechanism of action involved in production, secretion, storage, transport, protection and conformational changes of spidroins during the spinning process, and prey capture; and the results may be relevant for scientists in material Science, biology, biochemistry, and environmental scientists.

Project description:The exoskeleton gives to insects its shape, waterproofing and a range of other roles, besides serving as means of locomotion, the motor function being accomplished by the attachment of somatic muscles. Exoskeleton is renewed every time the insect molts under the control of ecdysteroid hormones. The last molt, which in the holometabolous transforms pupae in adults, involves biosynthesis of the definitive exoskeleton by the subjacent epidemis, followed by progressive differentiation. We used whole genome-based oligonucleotide microarray hybridization and RNA extracted from the honey bee thoracic dorsum, at three time-points of the pupal-to-adult molt, as a strategy to screen genes involved in exoskeleton formation. Gene ontology analysis separated the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in distinct Biological Processes and Molecular Functions dependently on the time-point approached, thus revealing the functional categories required for adult exoskeleton formation. Approximately 546 of a list of 1253 unique DEGs were up-regulated in the thoracic dorsum during adult cuticle formation, including 23 among the 24 identified cuticle protein (CP) genes, and 29 muscle-related genes. Conserved sequence motifs allowed to include the CP genes in the CPR, Tweedle, Apidermin, CPF, CPLCP1 and Analogous-to-Peritrophins families. Two genes, which do not pertain to any known CP families, were abundantly expressed in the epidermis during adult cuticle formation as shown by in situ hybridization, thus strongly suggesting that they are genuine CP genes. The search for cis-regulatory motifs in the 5M-bM-^@M-^Yuntranslated region of the DEGs revealed potential binding sites for known transcript factors. Several of them were shared by CP genes and thoracic muscle genes, thus allowing to infer that they are co-regulated during differentiation of the thoracic exoskeleton. Together, these data add new information on molecular aspects of exoskeleton formation in the context of the ecdysteroid-coordinated pupal-to-adult molt. The microarray experiments compared differential gene expression in the thoracic integuments of newly-ecdysed pupae (Pw phase), pupae-in-apolysis (Pp phase) and pharate-adults (Pbl phase) collected at the same time from a single honey bee colony. Two separate pools of 10 thoracic integuments each were prepared for each developmental phase (Pw, Pp and Pbl). Dye swaps were done for each comparison and two slides were used to evaluate the differential expression.

Project description:To assess expression of mtDNA genes in the canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT), biopsy tissue samples from 33 CTVT cases were subjected to total RNA extraction, and stranded RNA sequencing libraries generated with the Ribo-Zero ribosomal RNA removal kit (insert size 100–300 bp) were sequenced using 75-bp paired-end sequencing reads on an Illumina HiSeq4000 instrument. Gene transcript abundance was quantified using the Salmon software (v0.8.2).

Project description:Snake venoms are known to be major sources of peptides with different pharmacological properties. In this study, we comprehensively explored the venom peptidomes of three specimens of Lachesis muta, the largest venomous snake in South America, using mass spectrometry techniques. The analysis revealed 19 main chromatographic peaks common to all specimens. A total of 151 peptides were identified, including 69 from a metalloproteinase, 58 from the BPP-CNP precursor, and 24 from a L-amino acid oxidase. To our knowledge, 126 of these peptides were reported for the first time in this work, including a new SVMP-derived peptide fragment, Lm-10a. Our findings highlight the dynamic nature of toxin maturation in snake venoms, driven by proteolytic processing, post-translational modifications, and cryptide formation.

Project description:Obesity is a chronic inflammatory condition which leads to a change in the production of adipokines and cytokines that can be found in blood plasma and saliva. It increases the risk for periodontal and cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, cancer and others. This study aims to analyze the plasma and saliva proteomes of young adults with obesity and overweight comparing to normal weight individuals, to reveal the influence of body index in the proteome profiles and to identify early biomarkers of obesity-associated diseases.
