Project description:Through the use of proteomic analysis of 32 dental calculus samples from anceint Mongolia, we show that ruminant dairying was present in Mongolia by at least 3000 B.C.E., over 1500 years prior to previously published work. Excitingly, the earliest site with dairy evidence has been identified as archaeologically Afanasievo, supporting the hypothesis that dairy practices and animals likely entered the Eastern steppe with migrating western steppe populations. Furthermore, at 1200 B.C.E. we detect the first direct evidence for horse milk consumption, demonstrating the Bronze Age origins of equine dairying on the eastern steppe which occurred concomitantly with early evidence for horse bridling and riding in the region. The incorporation of horse milk and riding into early Mongolian subsistence strategies led to dramatic economic and demographic shifts that enabled the formation of the well-known steppe empires.

Project description:The defining characteristics of leukemia, such as lineage and genetics, are associated with a typical age of onset. Understanding mechanisms of leukemia age specificity could improve disease models to develop new therapies. We used heterochronic transplantation of murine leukemia driven by MLL-AF9 to investigate the relative contribution of the age of the cell-of-origin or the hematopoietic microenvironment to the lineage fate of leukemia initiating cells (LICs). We show that the neonatal hematopoietic niche supports the development of infant-like mixed lineage B-cell/myeloid leukemia, while a mature niche promotes adult-like pure acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from identical cells of origin. We attribute this to inhibition of B-lymphoid fate in multipotent progenitor-like LICs by Ccl5 from adult bone marrow (BM) stroma, and implicate glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) signaling in the myeloid fate specification in mouse and human MLL-driven leukemia. These findings connect maturation and aging of the hematopoietic system to leukemia age specificity.

Project description:Analysis of organic residues from different typologies of ancient funerary pottery found in graves at two archaeological sites of Campania Region in southern Italy and dating back to the age of the Italic populations during the first millennium BC. Several analytical techniques have been exploited. Proteomics was decisive for the characterization of the proteins and the assignment of the species of origin. Samples were encrustations on two bowls of the 3rd-4th century BC unhearted in Capua and one Phoenician-type amphora with unusual shape, found in a grave at the necropolis of the Greek colony in Cuma (7th century BC). Concretions on bowls were identified with the decisive contribution of proteomics as bovine bone. The amphora contained 2,500 years old bovine milk.

Project description:Here we investigated different cell populations within ovarian cancer using single-cell RNA seq: fourteen samples from nine patients with differing grades (high grade, low grade and benign) as well as different origin sites (primary and metastatic tumor site, ovarian in origin and fallopian in origin).

Project description:Isolated populations have unique population genetics characteristics that can help boost power in genetic association studies for complex traits. Leveraging these advantageous characteristics requires an in-depth understanding of parameters that have shaped sequence variation in isolates. This study performs a comprehensive investigation of these parameters using low-depth whole genome sequencing (WGS) across multiple isolates.

Project description:Muscle biopsy samples from healthy male subjects at the baseline belonging to either <29y or >59y age range. These samples were used to design a prototype of multi-tissue molecular diagnostic of healthy physiological age, which was then validated in multiple independent studies using gold standard external validation methods

Project description:Variation in Mesenchymal Stromal Cell (MSC) function depending on their origin is problematic, as it may confound clinical outcomes of MSC therapy. Current evidence suggests that the therapeutic benefits of MSCs is primarily attributed to secretion of various biologically active factors (secretome). However, the effect of donor characteristics on the MSC secretome composition remains largely unknown. Here, we examined the influence of donor age, sex and tissue source, on the protein profile of the equine MSC secretome. Initially, we used dynamic metabolic labelling with stable isotopes combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify secreted proteins in MSC conditioned media (CM). Seventy proteins were classified as classically-secreted based on the rate of isotope label incorporation into newly synthesised proteins released into the extracellular space. Next, we analysed CM of bone marrow- (n = 14) and adipose-derived MSCs (n = 16) with label-free LC-MS/MS proteomics. Clustering analysis of 314 proteins detected across all samples identified tissue source as the main factor driving variability in MSC CM proteomes. Linear modelling applied to the subset of 70 secreted proteins identified tissue-related difference in the abundance of 23 proteins. There was an age-related decrease in the abundance of two proteins (CTHRC1, LOX), which has been validated with western blot and enzymatic activity assay. There was limited evidence of sex-related differences in protein abundance. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that tissue source and donor age contribute to heterogeneity in the protein composition of MSC secretomes which may influence the effects of MSC-based cell therapy.
