An integrative proteomics method identifies a regulator of translation during stem cell maintenance and differentiation

ABSTRACT: Detailed characterization of cell type transitions is essential for cell biology in general and particularly for the development of stem cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine. To systematically study such transitions, we introduce a method that simultaneously measures protein expression and thermal stability changes in cells and provide the web-based visualization tool ProteoTracker. We apply our method to study differences between human pluripotent stem cells and several cell types including their parental cell line and differentiated progeny. We detect alterations of protein properties in numerous cellular pathways and components including ribosome biogenesis and demonstrate that modulation of ribosome maturation through SBDS protein can be helpful for manipulating cell stemness in vitro. Using our integrative proteomics approach and the web-based tool, we uncover a molecular basis for the uncoupling of robust transcription from parsimonious translation in stem cells and propose a method for maintaining pluripotency in vitro. To characterize molecular changes during cell type transitions, the authors develop a method to simultaneously measure protein expression and thermal stability changes. They apply this approach to study differences between human pluripotent stem cells, their progenies, parental and allogeneic cells.

Quantitative Early Auxin Root Proteomics Identifies GAUT10, a Galacturonosyltransferase, as a Novel Regulator of Root Meristem Maintenance.

Project description:Auxin induces rapid gene expression changes throughout root development. How auxin-induced transcriptional responses relate to changes in protein abundance is not well characterized. This report identifies early auxin responsive proteins in roots at 30 min and 2 h after hormone treatment using a quantitative proteomics approach in which 3,514 proteins were reliably quantified. A comparison of the >100 differentially expressed proteins at each the time point showed limited overlap, suggesting a dynamic and transient response to exogenous auxin. Several proteins with established roles in auxin-mediated root development exhibited altered abundance, providing support for this approach. While novel targeted proteomics assays demonstrate that all six auxin receptors remain stable in response to hormone. Additionally, 15 of the top responsive proteins display root and/or auxin response phenotypes, demonstrating the validity of these differentially expressed proteins. Auxin signaling in roots dictates proteome reprogramming of proteins enriched for several gene ontology terms, including transcription, translation, protein localization, thigmatropism, and cell wall modification. In addition, we identified auxin-regulated proteins that had not previously been implicated in auxin response. For example, genetic studies of the auxin responsive protein galacturonosyltransferase 10 demonstrate that this enzyme plays a key role in root development. Altogether these data complement and extend our understanding of auxin response beyond that provided by transcriptome studies and can be used to uncover novel proteins that may mediate root developmental programs.

Phage display targeting identifies EYA1 as a regulator of glioblastoma stem cell maintenance and proliferation.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) ranks among the most lethal of human malignancies with GBM stem cells (GSCs) that contribute to tumor growth and therapeutic resistance. Identification and isolation of GSCs continue to be a challenge, as definitive methods to purify these cells for study or targeting are lacking. Here, we leveraged orthogonal in vitro and in vivo phage display biopanning strategies to isolate a single peptide with GSC-specific binding properties. In silico analysis of this peptide led to the isolation of EYA1 (Eyes Absent 1), a tyrosine phosphatase and transcriptional coactivator. Validating the phage discovery methods, EYA1 was preferentially expressed in GSCs compared to differentiated tumor progeny. MYC is a central mediator of GSC maintenance but has been resistant to direct targeting strategies. Based on correlation and colocalization of EYA1 and MYC, we interrogated a possible interaction, revealing binding of EYA1 to MYC and loss of MYC expression upon targeting EYA1. Supporting a functional role for EYA1, targeting EYA1 expression decreased GSC proliferation, migration, and self-renewal in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. Collectively, our results suggest that phage display can identify novel therapeutic targets in stem-like tumor cells and that an EYA1-MYC axis represents a potential therapeutic paradigm for GBM.

Perturbation-expression analysis identifies RUNX1 as a regulator of human mammary stem cell differentiation.

Project description:The search for genes that regulate stem cell self-renewal and differentiation has been hindered by a paucity of markers that uniquely label stem cells and early progenitors. To circumvent this difficulty we have developed a method that identifies cell-state regulators without requiring any markers of differentiation, termed Perturbation-Expression Analysis of Cell States (PEACS). We have applied this marker-free approach to screen for transcription factors that regulate mammary stem cell differentiation in a 3D model of tissue morphogenesis and identified RUNX1 as a stem cell regulator. Inhibition of RUNX1 expanded bipotent stem cells and blocked their differentiation into ductal and lobular tissue rudiments. Reactivation of RUNX1 allowed exit from the bipotent state and subsequent differentiation and mammary morphogenesis. Collectively, our findings show that RUNX1 is required for mammary stem cells to exit a bipotent state, and provide a new method for discovering cell-state regulators when markers are not available.

Proteomic analysis of Sox2-associated proteins during early stages of mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation identifies Sox21 as a novel regulator of stem cell fate.

Project description:Small increases in the levels of master regulators, such as Sox2, in embryonic stem cells (ESC) have been shown to promote their differentiation. However, the mechanism by which Sox2 controls the fate of ESC is poorly understood. In this study, we employed multidimensional protein identification technology and identified >60 nuclear proteins that associate with Sox2 early during ESC differentiation. Gene ontology analysis of Sox2-associated proteins indicates that they participate in a wide range of processes. Equally important, a significant number of the Sox2-associated proteins identified in this study have been shown previously to interact with Oct4, Nanog, Sall4, and Essrb. Moreover, we examined the impact of manipulating the expression of a Sox2-associated protein on the fate of ESC. Using ESC engineered for inducible expression of Sox21, we show that ectopic expression of Sox21 in ESC induces their differentiation into specific cell types, including those that express markers representative of neurectoderm and heart development. Collectively, these studies provide new insights into the range of molecular processes through which Sox2 is likely to influence the fate of ESC and provide further support for the conclusion that the expression of Sox proteins in ESC must be precisely regulated. Importantly, our studies also argue that Sox2, along with other pluripotency-associated transcription factors, is woven into highly interconnected regulatory networks that function at several levels to control the fate of ESC.

An integrative network algorithm identifies age-associated differential methylation interactome hotspots targeting stem-cell differentiation pathways.

Project description:Epigenetic changes have been associated with ageing and cancer. Identifying and interpreting epigenetic changes associated with such phenotypes may benefit from integration with protein interactome models. We here develop and validate a novel integrative epigenome-interactome approach to identify differential methylation interactome hotspots associated with a phenotype of interest. We apply the algorithm to cancer and ageing, demonstrating the existence of hotspots associated with these phenotypes. Importantly, we discover tissue independent age-associated hotspots targeting stem-cell differentiation pathways, which we validate in independent DNA methylation data sets, encompassing over 1000 samples from different tissue types. We further show that these pathways would not have been discovered had we used a non-network based approach and that the use of the protein interaction network improves the overall robustness of the inference procedure. The proposed algorithm will be useful to any study seeking to identify interactome hotspots associated with common phenotypes.

cysTMTRAQ-An integrative method for unbiased thiol-based redox proteomics.

Project description:Protein redox regulation plays important roles in many biological processes. Protein cysteine thiols are sensitive to redox changes and may function as redox switches, which turn signaling and metabolic pathways on or off to ensure speedy responses to environmental stimuli or stresses. Here we report a novel integrative proteomics method called cysTMTRAQ that combines two types of isobaric tags, cysteine tandem mass tags and isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification, in one experiment. The method not only enables simultaneous analysis of cysteine redox changes and total protein level changes, but also allows the determination of bona fide redox modified cysteines in proteins through the correction of protein turnover. Overlooking the factor of protein-level changes in the course of protein posttranslational modification experiments could lead to misleading results. The capability to analyze protein posttranslational modification dynamics and protein-level changes in one experiment will advance proteomic studies in many areas of biology and medicine.

Integrative proteomics of primary hepatocytes during dedifferentiation

Project description:To understand the relationship between protein expression and mRNA translation during primary hepatocytes dedifferentiation, we have employed transcriptome microarrayas a discovery platform. Rat primary hepatocytes were isolated by the method of two-step enzymes perfusion and then cultured on mono-layer in vitro. Samples at 0h( just after perfusion, before planking) , 6h, 12h ,24h and 48h were collected. Integrative analysis of transcriptome and whole cell proteomics (WCP) leaded us to realize the poor correlation of them. This discovery made us realize that targeting mRNA was far from enough in illustrating this process. It would provide new insights from the aspects of post-translational modifications(PTMs).Post-translational modifications play important role in numorous biological and pathological process, but a few reports are related to primary hepatocytes dedifferentiation process, and there is still no integrative proteomics analysis in this field yet. In this study, we perform ubiquitinome phosphorylated proteome, whole cell proteome and transcriptome simultaneously during the five different time points of dedifferentiation in vitro quantified over 6000 modified sites mapping to over 2000 proteins. And comprehensive analysis of these datasets provides novel insight in this field.

Coupled global and targeted proteomics of human embryonic stem cells during induced differentiation.

Project description:Elucidating the complex combinations of growth factors and signaling molecules that maintain pluripotency or, alternatively, promote the controlled differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) has important implications for the fundamental understanding of human development, devising cell replacement therapies, and cancer cell biology. hESCs are commonly grown on irradiated mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) or in conditioned medium from MEFs. These culture conditions interfere with many experimental conclusions and limit the ability to perform conclusive proteomics studies. The current investigation avoided the use of MEFs or MEF-conditioned medium for hESC culture, allowing global proteomics analysis without these confounding conditions, and elucidated neural cell-specific signaling pathways involved in noggin-induced hESC differentiation. Based on these analyses, we propose the following early markers of hESC neural differentiation: collapsin response mediator proteins 2 and 4 and the nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein as a marker of pluripotent hESCs. We then developed a directed mass spectrometry assay using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) to identify and quantify these markers and in addition the epidermal ectoderm marker cytokeratin-8. Analysis of global proteomics, quantitative RT-PCR, and MRM data led to testing the isoform interference hypothesis where redundant peptides dilute quantification measurements of homologous proteins. These results show that targeted MRM analysis on non-redundant peptides provides more exact quantification of homologous proteins. This study describes the facile transition from discovery proteomics to targeted MRM analysis and allowed us to identify and verify several potential biomarkers for hESCs during noggin-induced neural and BMP4-induced epidermal ectoderm differentiation.

The transcriptional regulator lola is required for stem cell maintenance and germ cell differentiation in the Drosophila testis.

Project description:Stem cell behavior is regulated by extrinsic signals from specialized microenvironments, or niches, and intrinsic factors required for execution of context-appropriate responses to niche signals. Here we show that function of the transcriptional regulator longitudinals lacking (lola) is required cell autonomously for germline stem cell and somatic cyst stem cell maintenance in the Drosophila testis. In addition, lola is also required for proper execution of key developmental transitions during male germ cell differentiation, including the switch from transit amplifying progenitor to spermatocyte growth and differentiation, as well as meiotic cell cycle progression and spermiogenesis. Different lola isoforms, each having unique C-termini and zinc finger domains, may control different aspects of proliferation and differentiation in the male germline and somatic cyst stem cell lineages.

Integrative proteomics identifies thousands of distinct, multi-epitope, and high-affinity nanobodies.

Project description:The antibody immune response is essential for the survival of mammals. However, we still lack a systematic understanding of the antibody repertoire. Here, we developed a proteomic strategy to survey, at an unprecedented scale, the landscape of antigen-engaged, circulating camelid heavy-chain antibodies, whose minimal binding fragments are called VHH antibodies or nanobodies. The sensitivity and robustness of this approach were validated with three antigens spanning orders of magnitude in immune responses; thousands of distinct, high-affinity nanobody families were reliably identified and quantified. Using high-throughput structural modeling, cross-linking mass spectrometry, mutagenesis, and deep learning, we mapped and analyzed the epitopes of >100,000 antigen-nanobody complexes. Our results revealed a surprising diversity of ultrahigh-affinity camelid nanobodies for specific antigen binding on various dominant epitope clusters. Nanobodies utilize both shape and charge complementarity to enable highly selective antigen binding. Interestingly, we found that nanobody-antigen binding can mimic conserved intracellular protein-protein interactions. A record of this paper's Transparent Peer Review process is included in the Supplemental information.
