Project description:The velvet antler is a unique model for cancer and regeneration research due to its periodic re-generation and rapid growth. Antler growth is mainly triggered by the growth center located in its tip, which consists of velvet skin, mesenchyme and cartilage. Among them, cartilage accounts for most of the growth center. We performed an integrative analysis of the antler cartilage tran-scriptome and proteome at different antler growth stages. RNA-seq results revealed 24,778 uni-genes, 19,243 known protein-coding genes, and 5,535 new predicted genes. Of these, 2,722 were detected with differential expression patterns among 30 d, 60 d, and 90 d libraries, and 488 dif-ferentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened at 30 d vs. 60 d and 60 d vs. 90 d but not at 30 d vs. 90 d. Proteomic data identified 1,361 known proteins and 179 predicted novel proteins. Compar-ative analyses showed 382 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), of which 16 had differential expression levels at 30 d vs. 60 d and 60 d vs. 90 d but not at 30 d vs. 90 d. An integrated analysis conducted for DEGs and DEPs showed that gene13546 and its coding protein protein13546 anno-tated in the Wnt signaling pathway may possess important bio-logical functions in rapid antler growth. This study provides in-depth characterization of candidate genes and proteins, providing further insights into the molecular mechanisms controlling antler development.
Project description:Data analysis is a critical part of quantitative proteomics studies in interpreting biological questions. Numerous computational tools including protein quantification, imputation, and differential expression (DE) analysis were generated in the past decade. However, searching optimized tools is still an unsolved issue. Moreover, due to the rapid development of RNA-Seq technology, a vast number of DE analysis methods are created. Applying these newly developed RNA-Seq-oriented tools to proteomics data is still a question that needs to be addressed. In order to benchmark these analysis methods, a proteomics dataset constituted the proteins derived from human, yeast, and drosophila with different ratios were generated. Based on this dataset, DE analysis tools (including array-based and RNA-Seq based), imputation algorithms, and protein quantification methods were compared and benchmarked. This study provided useful information on analyzing quantitative proteomics datasets. All the methods used in this study were integrated into Perseus which are available at https://www.maxquant.org/perseus.
Project description:In this study, we make used of mRNA-seq and its ability to reliably quantify isoforms, integrating this data with ribosome profiling and LC-MS/MS, to assign ribosome footprints and peptides at the isoform level. We leverage the principle that most cell types, and even tissues, predominantly express a single principal isoform to set isoform-level mRNA-seq quantifications as priors to guide and improve allocation of footprints or peptides to isoforms. Through tightly integrated mRNAseq, ribosome footprinting and/or LC-MS/MS proteomics we demonstrate that a principal isoform can be identified in over 80% of gene products in homogenous HEK293 cell culture and over 70% of proteins detected in complex human brain tissue. Defining isoforms in experiments with matched RNA-seq and translatomic/proteomic data increases the functional relevance of such datasets and will further broaden our understanding of multi-level control of gene expression. In this PRIDE submission you will find the raw files for the HEK293 cell proteomics. Files for the human brain proteomics can be found at PXD005445. We have also uploaded a zip file that contains the input files for our HEK293 cell analysis, and the isoform level output files – there is a separate folder within the zip files for these. The data used to create the manuscript figures is in the Rdata file. Code for assigning peptides and footprints to isoforms can be found on Github here: https://github.com/rkitchen/EMpire
Project description:The first GSSM of V. vinifera was reconstructed (MODEL2408120001). Tissue-specific models for stem, leaf, and berry of the Cabernet Sauvignon cultivar were generated from the original model, through the integration of RNA-Seq data. These models have been merged into diel multi-tissue models to study the interactions between tissues at light and dark phases.
Project description:Epithelial cells and differentiated fiber cells represent distinct compartments in the ocular lens. While previous studies have revealed proteins that are preferentially expressed in epithelial vs. fiber cells, a comprehensive proteomics library comparing the molecular composition of epithelial vs. fiber cells is essential for understanding lens formation, function, disease and regenerative potential, and for efficient differentiation of pluripotent stem cells for modeling of lens development and pathology in vitro. To compare protein composition between the lens epithelium and fibers, we employed tandem mass spectrometry (2DLC/ MS) analysis of micro-dissected mouse P0.5 lenses. Functional classifications of the top 525 identified proteins into gene ontology categories by molecular process and subcellular localization, were adapted for lens. Expression levels of both epithelial and fiber proteomes were compared with their temporal and spatial mRNA levels using E14.5, E16.5, E18.5, and P0.5 RNA-Seq data sets. During this developmental time window, multiple complex biosynthetic and catabolic processes generate the molecular and structural foundation for lens transparency. As expected, crystallins showed a high correlation between their mRNA and protein levels. Comprehensive data analysis confirmed and/or predicted roles for transcription factors (TFs), RNA-binding proteins, translational apparatus including ribosomal heterogeneity and initiation factors, microtubules, cytoskeletal and membrane proteins in lens formation and maturation. Our data highlighted many proteins with unknown function in the lens that were preferentially enriched in epithelium or fibers, setting the stage for future studies to further dissect the roles of these proteins in fiber cell differentiation vs. epithelial cell maintenance. In conclusion, the present proteomic datasets established reference mouse lens epithelium and fiber cell proteomes, provided quantitative analyses of protein and RNA-Seq data, and probed the major proteome remodeling required to form the mature lens fiber cells.
