The Effect of Milk Fat Globule Membrane-Containing Protein Powder on C. elegans Gene Expression

ABSTRACT: Milk-derived peptides and milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) have gained interest as health-promoting food ingredients. However, the mechanisms by which these nutraceuticals modulate the function of biological systems often remain unclear. We utilized Caenorhabditis elegans to elucidate how milk-derived Protein powders rich in MFGM, previously used in a clinical trial, affect the physiology of this model organism. Our results demonstrate that Protein powders do not affect lifespan but promote the fitness of the animals. Surprisingly, gene expression analysis revealed that Protein powders decrease the expression of genes functioning on innate immunity, which also translates into reduced survival on pathogenic bacteria. One of the innate immunity-associated genes showing reduced expression upon Protein powder supplementation is cpr-3, the homolog of human cathepsin B. Interestingly, knockdown of cpr-3 enhances fitness, but not in Protein powder-treated animals, suggesting that protein powders contribute to fitness by downregulating the expression of this gene. In summary, this research highlights the value of C. elegans in testing the biological activity of food supplements and nutraceuticals. Furthermore, this study should encourage investigations into whether milk-derived peptides and MFGM mediate their beneficial effects through the modulation of cathepsin B expression in humans.

Cathepsin B Promotes Aβ Proteotoxicity by Modulating Aging Regulating Mechanisms

Project description:While the activities of certain proteases promote proteostasis and prevent neurodegeneration-associated phenotypes, the protease cathepsin B (CTSB) enhances proteotoxicity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model mice, and its levels are elevated in brains of AD patients. How CTSB exacerbates the toxicity of the AD-causing Amyloid β (Aβ), is controversial. Using an activity based probe, aging-altering interventions and the nematode C. elegans we discovered that the CTSB CPR-6 promotes Aβ proteotoxicity but mitigates the toxicity of polyQ stretches. While the knockdown of cpr-6 does not affect lifespan, it alleviates Aβ toxicity by reducing the expression of swsn-3 and elevating the level of the protein SMK-1, both involved in the regulation of aging. These observations unveil a novel mechanism by which CTSB aggravates Aβ–mediated toxicity, indicate that it plays opposing roles in the face of distinct proteotoxic insults and highlight the importance of tailoring specific remedies for distinct neurodegenerative disorders.

Milk- and soy-based diets have differential effects on colitis and colon gene expression in the Il10-/- mouse

Project description:Milk and soy are reported to contain bioactive molecules with antibacterial and immunomodulatory actions, which may be beneficial to people with IBD. The aim of this study was to determine whether diets containing ruminant milk or soy solids reduce intestinal inflammation in Il10-/- mice. Male Il10-/- mice and C57BL/6J mice were fed diets containing 40% (w/w) sheep, goat, or cow whole milk powder, 40% (w/w) soy solids (NOW® Foods Soy Milk Powder, Instant), or one of two control diets (casein-free modified-AIN76A or standard AIN76A) from 4 to 11 weeks of age. Diets were based on AIN76A, which was included as an inter-experimental control for inflammation. For all diets except AIN76A, total protein, fat, carbohydrate and energy were kept as similar as possible. Weight and food intake were measured throughout the experiment (three times weekly), and intestinal tissue was taken for histopathology evaluation of inflammation and analysis of gene expression. Analysis of mouse weight and feed intake both showed a significant strain-diet interaction: Il10-/- mice fed the cow and goat milk diets ate less and gained less weight than all the other diet groups. This diet effect was not evident for the C57BL/6J mice. Il10-/- mice on the cow and goat milk diets had reduced colon histological injury scores relative to those on the other diets. Il10-/- mice on the cow and goat milk diets also had reduced expression of many immune/inflammatory-related genes and pathways.

Gene expression in the human mammary epithelium during lactation: the milk fat globule transcriptome

Project description:The 24h gene expression profile in the lactating mammary gland was demonstrated using the Human Ref-8 BeadChip array (Illumina, Inc). Of the 22,184 gene transcripts on the array, 14,070 genes were consistently expressed and represented the milk fat globule transcriptome. Milk protein genes were among the most highly expressed along with genes involved in the milk syntesis processes. Keywords: time course analysis

Gene Expression in the Human Mammary Epithelium during Lactation: the Milk Fat Globule Transcriptome through 4 Days

Project description:The 4 day gene expression profile in the lactating mammary gland was demonstrated using the Human Ref-8 BeadChip array (Illumina, Inc). Of the 22,184 gene transcripts on the array, 14,070 genes were consistently expressed and represented the milk fat globule transcriptome. Milk protein genes were among the most highly expressed along with genes involved in the milk syntesis processes. Serial milk samples were collected every 3h for 4 days from 5 normal, lactating women. RNA was isolated from the milk fat globules and utilized for microarray analyses.

Cathepsin B Promotes Aβ Proteotoxicity by Modulating Aging Regulating Mechanisms

Project description:While the activities of certain proteases promote proteostasis and prevent neurodegeneration-associated phenotypes, the protease cathepsin B (CTSB) enhances proteotoxicity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model mice, and its levels are elevated in brains of AD patients. How CTSB exacerbates the toxicity of the AD-causing Amyloid β (Aβ), is controversial. Using an activity-based probe, aging-altering interventions and the nematode C. elegans we discovered that the CTSB CPR-6 promotes Aβ proteotoxicity but mitigates the toxicity of polyQ stretches. While the knockdown of cpr-6 does not affect lifespan, it alleviates Aβ toxicity by reducing the expression of swsn-3 and elevating the level of the protein SMK-1, both involved in the regulation of aging. These observations unveil a novel mechanism by which CTSB aggravates Aβ–mediated toxicity, indicate that it plays opposing roles in the face of distinct proteotoxic insults and highlight the importance of tailoring specific remedies for distinct neurodegenerative disorders.

Development and validation of a matrix independent calibration strategy for targeted mass spectrometry-based quantification of milk protein allergens from complex food matrices

Project description:Quantitative detection of food allergens is important in assessing the risk of eliciting an allergic response in susceptible individuals in the event of an accidental exposure and to ensure compliance with allergen management and labeling regulations. Targeted mass spectrometry-based quantitative methods provide an opportunity to analyze allergens from complex food matrices which have undergone food processing. However, probable interferences of diverse food matrices mandates preparation of matrix-matched calibration curves, challenging method adaptation to multiple matrices. In this study, we have demonstrated that a novel matrix-independent calibration strategy employing an exogenous carrier protein as background in food matrices and calibrants, enables quantitative detection of amounts of milk allergen at concentrations relevant for risk assessment applications. Matrix-independent calibration curves prepared with egg white powder in background yielded comparable quantitative values with a matrix-matched calibration curve. Performance of matrix-independent calibration strategy with egg white powder was evaluated for nonfat dry milk (NFDM) incurred baked cookie, beverages containing pasteurized milk, and casein-incurred chocolate. Peptides representing both casein and whey fractions of milk were detectable from concentrations as low as 1 ppm NFDM in cookie matrix (46-99% recovery across the peptides), 0.5 ppm total milk protein (TMP) in pasteurized beverages (94-138% recovery), or 1 ppm casein in chocolate (35-51% recovery). Although the quantitative accuracy was low from traditionally difficult chocolate and baked cookie matrices, variance in quantification was within 30% across the inter-day replicates indicating method robustness for high throughput analysis of samples required in testing labs.
