Project description:Data-independent acquisition (DIA) strategies provide a sensitive and reproducible alternative to data-dependent acquisition (DDA) methods for large-scale quantitative proteomic analyses. Unfortunately, DIA methods suffer from incompatibility with common multiplexed quantification methods, specifically stable isotope labeling approaches such as isobaric tags and stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC). Here we expand the use of neutron-encoded (NeuCode) SILAC to DIA applications (NeuCoDIA), producing a strategy that enables multiplexing within DIA scans without further convoluting the already complex MS(2) spectra. We demonstrate duplex NeuCoDIA analysis of both mixed-ratio (1:1 and 10:1) yeast and mouse embryo myogenesis proteomes. Analysis of the mixed-ratio yeast samples revealed the strong accuracy and precision of our NeuCoDIA method, both of which were comparable to our established MS(1)-based quantification approach. NeuCoDIA also uncovered the dynamic protein changes that occur during myogenic differentiation, demonstrating the feasibility of this methodology for biological applications. We consequently establish DIA quantification of NeuCode SILAC as a useful and practical alternative to DDA-based approaches.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the feasibility of through-time spiral generalized autocalibrating partial parallel acquisition (GRAPPA) for low-latency accelerated real-time MRI of speech.MethodsThrough-time spiral GRAPPA (spiral GRAPPA), a fast linear reconstruction method, is applied to spiral (k-t) data acquired from an eight-channel custom upper-airway coil. Fully sampled data were retrospectively down-sampled to evaluate spiral GRAPPA at undersampling factors R = 2 to 6. Pseudo-golden-angle spiral acquisitions were used for prospective studies. Three subjects were imaged while performing a range of speech tasks that involved rapid articulator movements, including fluent speech and beat-boxing. Spiral GRAPPA was compared with view sharing, and a parallel imaging and compressed sensing (PI-CS) method.ResultsSpiral GRAPPA captured spatiotemporal dynamics of vocal tract articulators at undersampling factors ≤4. Spiral GRAPPA at 18 ms/frame and 2.4 mm2 /pixel outperformed view sharing in depicting rapidly moving articulators. Spiral GRAPPA and PI-CS provided equivalent temporal fidelity. Reconstruction latency per frame was 14 ms for view sharing and 116 ms for spiral GRAPPA, using a single processor. Spiral GRAPPA kept up with the MRI data rate of 18ms/frame with eight processors. PI-CS required 17 minutes to reconstruct 5 seconds of dynamic data.ConclusionSpiral GRAPPA enabled 4-fold accelerated real-time MRI of speech with a low reconstruction latency. This approach is applicable to wide range of speech RT-MRI experiments that benefit from real-time feedback while visualizing rapid articulator movement.

Project description:Although a standard reinforcement learning model can capture many aspects of reward-seeking behaviors, it may not be practical for modeling human natural behaviors because of the richness of dynamic environments and limitations in cognitive resources. We propose a modular reinforcement learning model that addresses these factors. Based on this model, a modular inverse reinforcement learning algorithm is developed to estimate both the rewards and discount factors from human behavioral data, which allows predictions of human navigation behaviors in virtual reality with high accuracy across different subjects and with different tasks. Complex human navigation trajectories in novel environments can be reproduced by an artificial agent that is based on the modular model. This model provides a strategy for estimating the subjective value of actions and how they influence sensory-motor decisions in natural behavior.

Project description:In mass spectrometry-based proteomics, data-independent acquisition (DIA) strategies can acquire a single data set useful for both identification and quantification of detectable peptides in a complex mixture. However, DIA data are noisy owing to a typical five- to tenfold reduction in precursor selectivity compared to data obtained with data-dependent acquisition or selected reaction monitoring. We demonstrate a multiplexing strategy, MSX, for DIA analysis that increases precursor selectivity fivefold.

Project description:Genomics-driven cancer therapeutics has gained prominence in personalized cancer treatment. However, its utility in indications lacking biomarker-driven treatment strategies remains limited. Here we present a "phenotype-driven precision-oncology" approach, based on the notion that biological response to perturbations, chemical or genetic, in ex vivo patient-individualized models can serve as predictive biomarkers for therapeutic response in the clinic. We generated a library of "screenable" patient-derived primary cultures (PDCs) for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas that reproducibly predicted treatment response in matched patient-derived-xenograft models. Importantly, PDCs could guide clinical practice and predict tumour progression in two n = 1 co-clinical trials. Comprehensive "-omics" interrogation of PDCs derived from one of these models revealed YAP1 as a putative biomarker for treatment response and survival in ~24% of oral squamous cell carcinoma. We envision that scaling of the proposed PDC approach could uncover biomarkers for therapeutic stratification and guide real-time therapeutic decisions in the future.Treatment response in patient-derived models may serve as a biomarker for response in the clinic. Here, the authors use paired patient-derived mouse xenografts and patient-derived primary culture models from head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, including metastasis, as models for high-throughput screening of anti-cancer drugs.

Project description:Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) is well-renowned for its ultrahigh resolving power and mass measurement accuracy. As with other types of analytical instrumentation, achievable signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) is an important analytical figure of merit with FTICR-MS. S/N can be improved with higher magnetic fields and longer time-domain signal acquisition periods. However, serial signal averaging of spectra or time-domain signals acquired with multiple ion populations is most commonly used to improve S/N. On the other hand, serial acquisition and averaging of multiple scans significantly increases required data acquisition time and is often incompatible with on-line chromatographic separations. In this study, we investigated the potential for increased S/N by averaging 4 spectra that were acquired in parallel with a single ICR cell with 4 pairs of dipole detection electrodes, each with an independent pre-amplifier. This spectral averaging was achieved with no need for multiple ion accumulation events nor multiple, serial excitation and detection events. These efforts demonstrated that parallel signal acquisition with 4 detector electrode pairs produces S/N 1.76-fold higher than that from a single detection electrode pair. With parallel detection, improved S/N was achieved with no observable loss in resolving power (100,000) as compared with that from a single detection electrode pair. These results demonstrate that parallel detection of multiple induced image current signals with multiple preamplifiers exists as a viable option for future instrumentation to increase achievable S/N and sensitivity. This approach may have general utility especially where conventional serial signal averaging is impractical.

Project description:Here we describe the use of data-independent acquisition (DIA) on a Q-Exactive mass spectrometer for the detection and quantification of peptides in complex mixtures using the Skyline Targeted Proteomics Environment (freely available online at http://skyline.maccosslab.org). The systematic acquisition of mass spectrometry (MS) or tandem MS (MS/MS) spectra by DIA is in contrast to DDA, in which the acquired MS/MS spectra are only suitable for the identification of a stochastically sampled set of peptides. Similarly to selected reaction monitoring (SRM), peptides can be quantified from DIA data using targeted chromatogram extraction. Unlike SRM, data acquisition is not constrained to a predetermined set of target peptides. In this protocol, a spectral library is generated using data-dependent acquisition (DDA), and chromatograms are extracted from the DIA data for all peptides in the library. As in SRM, quantification using DIA data is based on the area under the curve of extracted MS/MS chromatograms. In addition, a quality control (QC) method suitable for DIA based on targeted MS/MS acquisition is detailed. Not including time spent acquiring data, and time for database searching, the procedure takes ?1-2 h to complete. Typically, data acquisition requires roughly 1-4 h per sample, and a database search will take 0.5-2 h to complete.

Project description:Cells send and receive signals through pathways that have been defined in great detail biochemically, and it is often presumed that the signals convey only level information. Cell signaling in the presence of noise is extensively studied but only rarely is the speed required to make a decision considered. However, in the immune system, rapidly developing embryos, and cellular response to stress, fast and accurate actions are required. Statistical theory under the rubric of "exploit-explore" quantifies trade-offs between decision speed and accuracy and supplies rigorous performance bounds and algorithms that realize them. We show that common protein phosphorylation networks can implement optimal decision theory algorithms and speculate that the ubiquitous chemical modifications to receptors during signaling actually perform analog computations. We quantify performance trade-offs when the cellular system has incomplete knowledge of the data model. For the problem of sensing the time when the composition of a ligand mixture changes, we find a nonanalytic dependence on relative concentrations and specify the number of parameters needed for near-optimal performance and how to adjust them. The algorithms specify the minimal computation that has to take place on a single receptor before the information is pooled across the cell.

Project description:Sensory-guided behavior requires reliable encoding of stimulus information in neural populations, and flexible, task-specific readout. The former has been studied extensively, but the latter remains poorly understood. We introduce a theory for adaptive sensory processing based on functionally-targeted stochastic modulation. We show that responses of neurons in area V1 of monkeys performing a visual discrimination task exhibit low-dimensional, rapidly fluctuating gain modulation, which is stronger in task-informative neurons and can be used to decode from neural activity after few training trials, consistent with observed behavior. In a simulated hierarchical neural network model, such labels are learned quickly and can be used to adapt downstream readout, even after several intervening processing stages. Consistently, we find the modulatory signal estimated in V1 is also present in the activity of simultaneously recorded MT units, and is again strongest in task-informative neurons. These results support the idea that co-modulation facilitates task-adaptive hierarchical information routing.

Project description:FT-based high performance mass analyzers yield increased resolving power and mass measurement accuracy, yet require increased duration of signal acquisition that can limit many applications. The implementation of stronger magnetic fields, multiple detection electrodes for harmonic signal detection, and an array of multiple mass analyzers arranged along the magnetic field axis have been used to decrease required acquisition time. The results presented here show that multiple ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) mass analyzers can also be implemented orthogonal to the central magnetic field axis. The orthogonal ICR cell system presented here consisting of two cells (master and slave cells) was constructed with printed circuit boards and installed within a single superconducting magnet and vacuum system. A master cell was positioned, as is normally done with ICR cells, on the central magnetic field axis and a slave cell was located off this central axis, but directly adjacent and alongside the master cell. To achieve ion transfer between cells, ions that were initially trapped in the master cell were drifted across the magnetic field into the slave cell with application of a small DC field applied perpendicularly to the magnetic field axis. A subsequent population of ions was injected and accumulated in the master cell. Simultaneous excitation of cyclotron motion of ions in both cells was carried out; ICR signals from each cell were independently amplified and recorded in parallel. Presented here are the initial results of successful parallel spectral acquisition with this orthogonal dual ICR cell array. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.
