Project description:Background: Biomarkers that reflect glioblastoma tumour activity and treatment response are urgently needed to help guide clinical management, particularly for recurrent disease. As the urinary system is a major clearance route of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs; 30-1000 nm nanoparticles) we explored whether sampling urinary-EVs could serve as a simple and non-invasive liquid biopsy approach for measuring glioblastoma-associated biomarkers. Methods: Fifty urine specimens (15-60 ml) were collected from 24 catheterised glioblastoma patients immediately prior to primary (n=17) and recurrence (n=7) surgeries, following gross total resection (n=9), and from age/gender-matched healthy participants (n=14). EVs isolated by differential ultracentrifugation were characterised and extracted proteomes were analysed by high-resolution data-independent acquisition liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (DIA-LC-MS/MS). Results: Overall, 6857 proteins were confidently identified in urinary-EVs (q-value≤0.01), including 94 EV marker proteins. Glioblastoma-specific proteomic signatures were determined, and putative urinary-EV biomarkers corresponding to tumour burden and recurrence were identified (FC≥|2|, adjust p-val≤0.05, AUC>0.9). Conclusion: In-depth DIA-LC-MS/MS characterisation of urinary-EVs substantiates urine as a viable source of glioblastoma biomarkers. The promising ‘liquid gold’ biomarker panels described here warrant further investigation.

Project description:Scientific evidence suggests that not only murine scent communication is regulated by major urinary proteins, but that their expression may also vary in response to metabolism via a yet unknown mechanism. Major urinary proteins are expressed mainly in the liver, showing a sexually dimorphic pattern with substantially higher expression in males. Here, we investigate the metabolic implications of a major urinary protein knockout in twelve-week-old male and female C57BL/6N mice during ad libitum feeding. Despite both sexes of major urinary protein knockout mice displayed numerically increased body weight and visceral adipose tissue proportions compared to sex-matched wildtype mice, the main genotype-specific metabolic differences were observed exclusively in males. Male major urinary protein knockout mice exhibited plasma and hepatic lipid accumulation accompanied by a hepatic transcriptome indicating an activation of lipogenesis. These findings match the higher major urinary protein expression in male compared to female wildtype mice, suggesting a more distinct reduction in energy requirements in male compared to female major urinary protein knockout mice. The observed sex-specific anabolic phenotype confirms a role of major urinary protein in metabolism and, since major urinary proteins are not expressed in humans, suggests the major urinary protein knockout mouse as a potential alternative model for translational metabolism research which needs to be further elucidated.

Project description:The aim of this study was to compare miRNA expression in urinary exosomes from type 1 diabetic patients with and without incipient diabetic nephropathy. Overnight urine collections were obtained from normo- and microalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients. Urines were pre-cleared by both centrifugation and filtration, urinary exosomes were isolated by two consecutive ultracentrifugation steps and total RNA extracted. Differential miRNA profiling was performed using a Human TaqMan miRNA Array A on an 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System. Results showed that expression of 22 urinary exosomal miRNAs differed in incipient diabetic nephropathy. Differential qPCR miRNA profiling was performed on urinary exosomes from 2 pairs of micro/normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients comparable for age, sex, diabetes duration, and tightly matched for HbA1c (1° pair: 8.1 vs. 8.1, 2° pair: 8.7 vs. 8.7). MiRNAs were considered differentially expressed if they exhibited greater than twofold expression differences in both pairs.

Project description:Urinary proteins provide valuable insights into renal health, with implications spanning human and domestic animal veterinary medical research. However, the field of marine mammal medicine lacks comprehensive studies on urine protein composition. This research aimed to fill this gap by 1) selecting an optimal search strategy that yields the highest number of protein families in the bottlenose dolphin urine based on post-translational modifications (PTMs), 2) describing the urine proteome of wild bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Gulf of the Mexico, USA, considering sex (females vs. males), site (Barataria Bay, LA vs. Sarasota Bay, FL), and comparing with California sea lions (Zalophus californianus). Ten urine samples (Barataria Bay, LA: N= 6; Sarasota Bay, FL: N=4) collected during 2023 catch-and-release heath assessment were proteolytically digested and analyzed using an UltiMate 3000 Nano LC and Fusion Lumos Orbitrap mass spectrometer. A 2-step search strategy, incorporating dehydroalanine formation and semi-trypsin on the list of unassigned spectra, significantly increased the number of identified protein families by an average of 6.2% compared to the 1-step strategy (P < 0.001, t = -8.32). The top 30 proteins in bottlenose dolphin urine were ranked according to an exponentially modified protein abundance index for comparison based on sex, site, and species. There were no significant differences in urine proteins between sexes or sites (padj > 0.05), although there was sperm contribution in two of the male bottlenose dolphin urine samples. Two putative antimicrobial proteins (cathelicidin and lysozyme) were identified and found to be abundant in bottlenose dolphin urine, similar to California sea lions. The study also identified 27 potential markers of acute kidney injury and 12 regulators of kidney stone formation. This study established a reference database of urinary proteins from bottlenose dolphins, aiding future research in monitoring and evaluating renal health in marine mammals.

Project description:G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of cell surface signaling proteins; they participate in all physiological processes and are the targets of 30% of marketed drugs. Typically, nanomolar-micromolar concentrations of ligand are used to activate GPCRs in experimental systems. However, by measuring cAMP with increased spatial and temporal resolution, we can now detect GPCR responses to an extraordinarily wide range of ligand concentrations: from attomolar to millimolar. Mathematical modeling shows that the addition of femtomolar concentrations of ligand can activate a significant proportion of cells provided that a cell can be activated by 1-2 binding events. In addition to cAMP, activation of the endogenous b2-adrenoceptor (b2AR) and muscarinic M3R by femtomolar concentrations of ligand in cell lines and human cardiac fibroblasts causes sustained increases in nuclear ERK or cytosolic PKC, respectively. These responses are spatially and temporally distinct from those that occur at higher concentrations of ligand, and result in a unique proteomic profile. This highly sensitive signaling is dependent on the GPCRs forming pre-assembled higher-order signaling complexes at the plasma membrane. Recognizing that GPCRs respond to ultra-low concentrations of neurotransmitters and hormones challenges established paradigms of drug action and provides a new dimension of GPCR activation that is quite distinct from that typically observed.
