Project description:The Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) Program aims to create a network-based understanding of biology by cataloging changes in gene expression and other cellular processes that occur when cells are exposed to a variety of perturbing agents. The goal of this project is to test the hypothesis that modulation of phosphorylation-mediated signaling events in response to perturbations can establish new cellular states by altering their epigenetic landscape. We have performed mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic assays that target quantitative readouts of phospho-signaling and chromatin modifications in cellular models, following perturbation by compounds with varying mechanisms of action. We have employed 128 compounds and treated 5 cancer and 2 neuronal cell lines. The resulting data collected and tools created have been contributed to the LINCS program for the purpose of making connections among disparate perturbations through phosphoproteomics and chromatin modification signatures in concert with other available data types. The data is publicly available on PanoramaPublic and can be queried using Clue (Broad Institute). Analysis of our data will inform novel therapeutic opportunities and synergies, as dysregulation of phospho-signaling and epigenetic systems are two of the most common molecular etiologies identified in a growing number of diseases.

Project description:Methylation is a fundamental mechanism used in Nature to modify the structure and function of biomolecules, including proteins, DNA, RNA, and metabolites. Methyl groups are predominantly installed into biomolecules by a large and diverse class of S-adenosyl methionine (SAM)-dependent methyltransferases (MTs), of which there are ?200 known or putative members in the human proteome. Deregulated MT activity contributes to numerous diseases, including cancer, and several MT inhibitors are in clinical development. Nonetheless, a large fraction of the human MT family remains poorly characterized, underscoring the need for new technologies to characterize MTs and their inhibitors in native biological systems. Here, we describe a suite of S-adenosyl homocysteine (SAH) photoreactive probes and their application in chemical proteomic experiments to profile and enrich a large number of MTs (>50) from human cancer cell lysates with remarkable specificity over other classes of proteins. We further demonstrate that the SAH probes can enrich MT-associated proteins and be used to screen for and assess the selectivity of MT inhibitors, leading to the discovery of a covalent inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme implicated in cancer and metabolic disorders. The chemical proteomics probes and methods for their utilization reported herein should prove of value for the functional characterization of MTs, MT complexes, and MT inhibitors in mammalian biology and disease.

Project description:Protein microarray technology has been successfully used for identifying substrates of purified activated kinases. We used protein microarrays to globally interrogate the effects of PTEN and Akt activity on the phospho-kinome of in vitro and in vivo glioma models and validated results in clinical pathological specimens. Whole cell lysates extracted from tumor samples can be applied to human kinome chip microarrays to profile the global kinase phosphorylation patterns in a high-throughput manner and identify novel substrates inherent to the tumor cell and the interactions with tumor microenvironment. Our findings identify a novel microarray-based method for assessing intracellular signaling events applicable to human oncogenesis and other pathophysiologic states.

Project description:Equine grass sickness (EGS) is an acute, predominantly fatal, multiple system neuropathy of grazing horses with reported incidence rates of ?2%. An apparently identical disease occurs in multiple species, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and rabbits. Although the precise etiology remains unclear, ultrastructural findings have suggested that the primary lesion lies in the glycoprotein biosynthetic pathway of specific neuronal populations. The goal of this study was therefore to identify the molecular processes underpinning neurodegeneration in EGS. Here, we use a bottom-up approach beginning with the application of modern proteomic tools to the analysis of cranial (superior) cervical ganglion (CCG, a consistently affected tissue) from EGS-affected patients and appropriate control cases postmortem. In what appears to be the proteomic application of modern proteomic tools to equine neuronal tissues and/or to an inherent neurodegenerative disease of large animals (not a model of human disease), we identified 2,311 proteins in CCG extracts, with 320 proteins increased and 186 decreased by greater than 20% relative to controls. Further examination of selected proteomic candidates by quantitative fluorescent Western blotting (QFWB) and subcellular expression profiling by immunohistochemistry highlighted a previously unreported dysregulation in proteins commonly associated with protein misfolding/aggregation responses seen in a myriad of human neurodegenerative conditions, including but not limited to amyloid precursor protein (APP), microtubule associated protein (Tau), and multiple components of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). Differentially expressed proteins eligible for in silico pathway analysis clustered predominantly into the following biofunctions: (1) diseases and disorders, including; neurological disease and skeletal and muscular disorders and (2) molecular and cellular functions, including cellular assembly and organization, cell-to-cell signaling and interaction (including epinephrine, dopamine, and adrenergic signaling and receptor function), and small molecule biochemistry. Interestingly, while the biofunctions identified in this study may represent pathways underpinning EGS-induced neurodegeneration, this is also the first demonstration of potential molecular conservation (including previously unreported dysregulation of the UPS and APP) spanning the degenerative cascades from an apparently unrelated condition of large animals, to small animal models with altered neuronal vulnerability, and human neurological conditions. Importantly, this study highlights the feasibility and benefits of applying modern proteomic techniques to veterinary investigations of neurodegenerative processes in diseases of large animals.

Project description:Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an endogenous cell signaling molecule, and dysregulation of LPA signaling pathways is accompanied by several types of cancer. Herein, we developed a chemical proteomic method for the proteome-wide identification of LPA-binding proteins. The method involves the synthesis of a desthiobiotin-conjugated LPA acyl phosphate probe for the covalent labeling, enrichment, and subsequent LC-MS/MS identification of LPA-binding proteins at the proteome-wide level. By conducting labeling reactions at two different probe concentrations (10 and 100 ?M) in conjunction with an SILAC (stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture)-based workflow, we characterized the LPA-binding capabilities of these proteins at the entire proteome scale, which led to the identification of 86 candidate LPA-binding proteins in HEK293T cells. Moreover, we validated that two of these proteins, annexin A5 and phosphoglycerate kinase 1, can bind directly with LPA. Together, we developed a novel LPA probe for the identification and characterizations of LPA-binding proteins from the entire human proteome. The method should be adaptable for the identification of other lipid-binding proteins.

Project description:Isoprenoid pyrophosphates are involved in protein prenylation and assume regulatory roles in cells; however, little is known about the cellular proteins that can interact with isoprenoid pyrophosphates. Here, we devised a chemical proteomic strategy, capitalizing on the use of a desthiobiotin-geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) acyl phosphate probe for the enrichment and subsequent identification of GPP-binding proteins using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). By combining stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) and competitive labeling with low vs high concentrations of GPP probe, with ATP vs GPP acyl phosphate probes, or with the GPP probe in the presence of different concentrations of free GPP, we uncovered a number of candidate GPP-binding proteins. We also discovered, for the first time, histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) as a GPP-binding protein. Furthermore, we found that the enzymatic activity of HDAC1 could be modulated by isoprenoid pyrophosphates. Together, we developed a novel chemical proteomic method for the proteome-wide discovery of GPP-binding proteins, which sets the stage for a better understanding about the biological functions of isoprenoids.

Project description:Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) refers to a medical condition of abnormally high level of homocysteine (Hcy) in blood (>15 ?mol L-1) and has been clinically implicated with cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. Excessive Hcy can be converted to a reactive thioester intermediate, Hcy thiolactone (HTL), which selectively reacts with protein lysine residues ("N-homocysteinylation") and this non-enzymatic modification largely contributes to manifestations of HHcy. However, the proteome-wide detection of protein N-homocysteinylation remains a challenge to date. In this work, we report a chemoselective reaction to label and enrich N-homocysteinylation from complex proteome samples as inspired by native chemical ligation for protein synthesis. Alkynyl thioester probes are synthesized and the reaction is validated with small molecule and purified protein models successfully. We performed quantitative chemical proteomics to identify more than 800 N-homocysteinylated proteins as well as 304 N-homocysteinylated sites directly from HTL-treated HeLa cells. The chemical proteomics strategies will facilitate functional study of protein N-homocysteinylations in the HHcy-implicated diseases.

Project description:Background:Peperomia belongs to the family of Piperaceae. It has different uses in folk medicine and contains rare compounds that have led to increased interest in this genus. Peperomia blanda (Jacq.) Kunth is used as an injury disinfectant by Yemeni people. In addition, the majority of Yemen's population still depend on the traditional remedy for serious diseases such as cancer, inflammation and infection. Currently, there is a deficiency of scientific evidence with regards to the medicinal plants from Yemen. Therefore, this study was performed to assess the chemical profile and in vitro antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of P. blanda. Methods:Chemical profiling of P. blanda was carried out using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) followed by isolation of bioactive compounds by column chromatography. DPPH• and FRAP assays were used to evaluate antioxidant activity and the MTT assay was performed to estimate the cytotoxicity activity against three cancer cell lines, namely MCF-7, HL-60 and WEHI-3, and three normal cell lines, MCF10A, WRL-68 and HDFa. Results:X-ray crystallographic data for peperomin A is reported for the first time here and N,N'-diphenethyloxamide was isolated for the first time from Peperomia blanda. Methanol and dichloromethane extracts showed high radical scavenging activity with an IC50 of 36.81 ± 0.09 µg/mL, followed by the dichloromethane extract at 61.78 ± 0.02 µg/mL, whereas the weak ferric reducing activity of P. blanda extracts ranging from 162.2 ± 0.80 to 381.5 ± 1.31 µg/mL were recorded. In addition, petroleum ether crude extract exhibited the highest cytotoxic activity against all the tested cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 9.54 ± 0.30, 4.30 ± 0.90 and 5.39 ± 0.34 µg/mL, respectively. Peperomin A and the isolated mixture of phytosterol (stigmasterol and ?-sitosterol) exhibited cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and WE-HI cell lines with an IC50 of (5.58 ± 0.47, 4.62 ± 0.03 µg/mL) and (8.94 ± 0.05, 9.84 ± 0.61 µg/mL), respectively, compared to a standard drug, taxol, that has IC50 values of 3.56 ± 0.34 and 1.90 ± 0.9 µg/mL, respectively. Conclusion:The activities of P. blanda extracts and isolated compounds recorded in this study underlines the potential that makes this plant a valuable source for further study on anticancer and antioxidant activities.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Most chemicals in commerce have not been evaluated for their carcinogenic potential. The de facto gold-standard approach to carcinogen testing adopts the 2-y rodent bioassay, a time-consuming and costly procedure. High-throughput in vitro assays are a promising alternative for addressing the limitations in carcinogen screening. OBJECTIVES:We developed a screening process for predicting chemical carcinogenicity and genotoxicity and characterizing modes of actions (MoAs) using in vitro gene expression assays. METHODS:We generated a large toxicogenomics resource comprising [Formula: see text] expression profiles corresponding to 330 chemicals profiled in HepG2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line) at multiple doses and replicates. Predictive models of carcinogenicity and genotoxicity were built using a random forest classifier. Differential pathway enrichment analysis was performed to identify pathways associated with carcinogen exposure. Signatures of carcinogenicity and genotoxicity were compared with external sources, including Drugmatrix and the Connectivity Map. RESULTS:Among profiles with sufficient bioactivity, our classifiers achieved 72.2% Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) for predicting carcinogenicity and 82.3% AUC for predicting genotoxicity. Chemical bioactivity, as measured by the strength and reproducibility of the transcriptional response, was not significantly associated with long-term carcinogenicity in doses up to [Formula: see text]. However, sufficient bioactivity was necessary for a chemical to be used for prediction of carcinogenicity. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed pathways consistent with known pathways that drive cancer, including DNA damage and repair. The data is available at https://clue.io/CRCGN_ABC , and a portal for query and visualization of the results is accessible at https://carcinogenome.org . DISCUSSION:We demonstrated an in vitro screening approach using gene expression profiling to predict carcinogenicity and infer MoAs of chemical perturbations. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP3986.
