Project description:Glutathionylation is an important post-translational modification and developing tools to identify which cysteine residues on proteins are glutathionylated in response to different physiological conditions is necessary. This project utilizes an approach consisting of azido-glutathione, a single purified protein, and an oxidant to form disulfide bonds between the azide modified glutathione and the cysteine residues of the protein. After this the reaction is quenched with iodoacetamide, subjected to a click reaction with a chemically cleavable alkyne conjugated biotin, and digested with trypsin. These peptide fragments are eluted from streptavidin beads and subjected to LC-MS/MS to determine which cysteine residues are glutathionylated in-vitro.

Project description:The factors that govern the retention and abundance of specific microbial lineages within a developing intestinal microbiota remain poorly defined. Human milk oligosaccharides consumed by nursing infnats pass undigested to the distal gut where they may be consumed by microbes. We investigated the transcriptional response of Bacterides fragilis, a prominent gut resident, to the presence of HMOs. In vitro transcriptional profiles of Bacteroides fragilis obtained from biological duplicate cultures taken at middle log phase in minimal media glucose (MM-Glu) and in minimal media with human milk oligosaccharides (MM-HMO).

Project description:Microbes are an integral component of the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, mechanisms that direct microbial recruitment into tumors and the spatial relationship between intratumoral microbes and host cells remain poorly understood. Here, we show that microbes and immune cells have parallel spatial distribution and that the presence of intratumoral microbes is dependent on T cells. Analysis of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) and lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD) revealed a spatially heterogeneous distribution of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that is associated with T cell infiltration. Using mouse models of PDAC, we found that microbes were more abundant and diverse in tumors that were enriched in T cells compared to tumors that lacked T cells, despite no significant differences in the fecal microbiome. Consistent with these findings, we detected elevated levels of microbial genes in T cell-enriched tumor nests in human PDAC. Compared to microbe-poor tumor nests, microbe-enriched tumor nests displayed a higher number of myeloid cells, B cells, and plasma cells. Microbe-enriched tumor nests also showed upregulation of immune-related processes, including responses to bacteria, and receptors that mediate mucosal immune responses to microbes. Administration of antibiotics to tumor-bearing mice altered the phenotype and presence of intratumoral myeloid cells and B cells but did not alter T cell infiltration. In contrast, depletion of T cells reduced the presence of intratumoral microbes. Our results identify a novel coupling between microbes and the intratumoral immune landscape, with T cells shaping microbial presence and subsequent microbial-host interactions.

Project description:This study examines the role of early exposure to gut microbes and poor diet on microglial function in mice. Groups = control (CON), malnourished (MAL), and malnourished + microbial exposure (E/MALBG). CD11b+ cells (microglial enrichment) were isolated from whole mouse brains (Adult Brain Disruption Kit, Miltenyi Biotec). After sample quality control (Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer), qualifying samples were sent for RNA-Seq (Illumina NextSeq 500 with Paired End 42bp × 42bp reads; demultiplexed: Illumina's bcl2fastq2). Following alignment against mouse reference genes (STAR aligner), DEG analyses was conducted using the DESeq2 pipeline.

Project description:Solid tumors are composed of cancer cells and host immune cells that are distributed in a non-uniform pattern. Growing evidence shows that intratumoral microbes are associated with immune microenvironments in cancer. However, mechanisms that direct the recruitment of microbes to tumors remain poorly understood. Here, we show that intratumoral infiltration of immune cells and microbes are heterogeneous, and the distribution of microbes within tumors are orchestrated by the spatial heterogeneity of intratumoral lymphoid populations. Analysis of human solid tumors revealed that the spatial distribution of immune cells, particularly CD8+ T cells, is markedly heterogeneous. Compared to T cell-poor (“cold”) tumor nests, T cell-rich (“hot”) tumor nests displayed a significantly higher number of myeloid cells, B cells, and plasma cells. We performed laser capture microdissection (LCM) followed by RNA sequencing to identify unique gene signatures that define tumor epithelium and stroma of cold and hot tumor nests. Cold tumor nests expressed genes that promote tumor proliferation and fibrosis, whereas hot tumor stroma and epithelium showed upregulation of immune-related processes, including responses to bacteria, and receptors that mediate mucosal immune responses to microbes, respectively. Consistent with these findings, we detected elevated levels of microbes within hot tumor nests in human pancreatic and lung cancers as well as in mouse models of pancreatic cancer. Intratumoral T cell infiltration plays a causal role in spatial distribution of bacteria in tumor. Our data implicate intratumoral immune heterogeneity in defining microbial spatial distribution and highlight a potential role for crosstalks between microbes, cancer cells, and the host immune system in shaping constituents of the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Project description:Solid tumors are composed of cancer cells and host immune cells that are distributed in a non-uniform pattern. Although this spatial heterogeneity may reflect mutational variations in cancer cells, mechanisms that direct the recruitment of immune cells to distinct regions within a tumor remain poorly understood. Here, we show that microbial-host interactions define tumor nests enriched in immune cells, and the distribution of microbes within tumors parallels the spatial heterogeneity of intratumoral lymphoid and myeloid cell populations. Analysis of human solid tumors revealed that the spatial distribution of immune cells, particularly CD8+ T cells, is markedly heterogeneous.
