Project description:Untargeted LC-MS/MS in positive ionisation mode of extract and fractions of Sandwithia guyanensis bark (collected in French Guyana)
Project description:Primary mice neuronal cultures fractionated through C-18 RP chromatography. Collected fractions analyzed by untargeted LC-MS/MS in positive mode.
Project description:Food processing conditions affect the structure, solubility and therefore accurate detection of gluten proteins. We investigated the influence of dough, bread and pretzel making on the composition of different wheat protein fractions obtained by Osborne fractionation, which is based on solubility. The albumin/globulin (ALGL), gliadin and glutenin fractions from flour, dough, crispbread, bread and pretzel were analysed using RP-HPLC, SDS-PAGE and untargeted nanoLC-MS/MS. This approach enabled an in-depth profiling of the fractionated proteomes and related compositional changes to processing conditions including mixing, heat and alkali treatment. The ALGL fractions contained 71 protein groups, the gliadin fractions 27 and the glutenin fractions 47, of which 16 were common in all fractions. Label-free quantitation revealed that the relative abundances of 78 proteins were significantly affected by baking in the fractions of bread crumb and bread crust in comparison to flour.
Project description:Pao extract is an herbal preparation of the bark of an amazonian rain forest tree,Pao Pereira (Geissospermum vellosii),which could inhibit Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Characterizing the molecular alterations of BPH1 and WPMY-1 cells treated with PAO is important for understanding the molecular mechanisms of PAO inhibiting BPH. We used microarrays to detail the RNA expression.
Project description:Both disseminated tumor cells and noncancerous host cells contributed to cancer progression cooperatively in bone marrow. Bone marrow samples were obtained from 4 gastric cancer patients, and were separated into 3 fractions (CD45 positive, CD45 negative/EpCAM positive, and CD14 positive fractions) by the automagnetic-activated cell separation (AutoMACS) system using CD45, EpCAM, and CD14 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany). microRNA expression profiles in each fractions were evaluated in order to identify candidate prognostic markers for gastric cancer patients. In 4 patients with gastric cancer, bone marrow samples (40 mL) were obtained from iliac bones. Nucleated cells were collected by gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Paque PREMIUM (GE Healthcare Life Science, USA) and Leucosep (Greiner Bio-One, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Next, we separated bone marrow cells into 3 fractions using MACS: CD45 positive (CD45+), CD45 negative/EpCAM positive (CD45-/EpCAM+), and CD14 positive (CD14+). microRNA expression levels of whole bone marrow cells and each fractions were measured by the miRCURY™ LNA array microarray (6th gen-hsa, mmu & rno#208402, Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark). The miRCURY™ LNA array microarray slides were scanned using the Agilent G2505C Microarray Scanner System (Agilent Technologies, Inc., USA) and the data analysis was carried out using the Feature Extraction 10.7.3.1 (Agilent Technologies, Inc., USA).
