Quantitative proteomics reveals TMOD1-related proteins associated with water balance regulation.

ABSTRACT: The distal tubule and collecting duct in kidney regulate water homeostasis. TMOD1 is an actin capping protein that plays an important role in controlling the organization of actin filaments. In this study, we found TMOD1 was specifically expressed in distal tubules and collecting ducts. To investigate the role of TMOD1, we created Tmod1flox/flox mice and bred them with Ksp-Cre mice to generate tubule-specific Tmod1 knockout mice, Tmod1flox/flox/Ksp-Cre+ (designated as TFK). As compared with control mice, TFK mice showed oliguria, hyperosmolality urine, and high blood pressure. To determine the mechanisms underlying this phenotype, we performed label-free quantitative proteomics on kidneys of TFK and control mice. Total of 83 proteins were found differentially expressed. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that biological processes, including protein phosphorylation and metabolic process, were involved in TMOD1 regulatory network. Gene set enrichment analysis showed that multiple pathways, such as phosphatidylinositol signaling system and GnRH signaling pathway, were strongly associated with Tmod1 knockout. Western blot validated the down-regulation of three proteins, TGFBR2, SLC25A11, and MTFP1, in kidneys of TFK mice. Our study provides valuable information on the molecular functions and the regulatory network of Tmod1 gene in kidney, as well as the new mechanisms for the regulation of water balance.

Project description:BackgroundProteins related to sperm motility and sperm morphology have an important impact on sperm function such as metabolism, motility and fertilisation etc. An understanding of the key proteins related to semen quality in Niangya yaks would help to provide support for breeding. However, the key proteins that affect semen quality in Niangya yaks remain unclear.MethodsHerein, we applied tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC‒MS/MS) to analyze the expression levels of sperm proteins in groups of high- and low-quality semen from Niangya yaks. And fifteen differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were randomly selected for expression level validation by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM).ResultsOf the 2,092 quantified proteins, 280 were identified as DEPs in the high-quality group versus the low-quality group. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that in terms of biological pathways, the DEPs were mainly involved in metabolic processes, cell transformation processes, and single organism metabolic processes. In terms of cell composition, the DEPs were mainly located in the cell membrane, organelle, molecular complex. In terms of molecular functions, the most abundant functions of the DEPs were catalytic activity, binding activity, transport activity, and enzyme regulation activity. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that the DEPs were mainly involved in the cytokine and cytokine receptor interaction, notch signaling pathway, lysine biosynthesis, renal function-related protein and proteasome pathway. From protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis of DEPs involved in important pathways, 6 related proteins affecting the semen quality of Niangya yaks were identified. And the results of the PRM and TMT analysis were consistent.ConclusionsThe differential sperm proteomic analysis of high- and low-quality semen from Niangya yaks, revealed 6 proteins (PSMC5, PSMD8, PSMB3, HSP90AA1, UGP2 and HSPB1), were mainly concentrated in energy production and metabolism, might play important roles in semen quality, which could serve as candidates for the selection and breeding of Niangya yaks.
