Project description:Use CEN quechers method to extract 2.5g honey and use PSA to clean up matrix. Using ACN-water-0.01%HCOOH for compound separation and HRMS analysis with Thermo Orbitrap Exploris 120. Data was acquired in Full scan-ddms2 mode. This included a full scan over the m/z range 100- 1000 at full width at half maximum (FWHM) resolution of 60,000, and a data-dependent-MS2 scan at FWHM resolution of 15,000 on the top 4 ions. The ionization was performed in positive ESI with an inlusion list collated from OPPIN website, and to gain more information about fragment ions in the QC sample, we use an Automated Exclusion List Generation workflow, so one QC sample finally gave 3 injections.
Project description:The goal of this multiplatform, non-targeted metabolomics study was to explore the metabolic alterations occurring during the natural progression of pulmonary tuberculosis in a murine model of disease (C57BL/6 genotype). For this purpose, we used gas chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass analyzers (GC-EI-QTOF/MS, CE-ESI(+)-QTOF/MS, LC-ESI(+)-QTOF/MS and LC-ESI(-)-QTOF/MS to analyze lung extracts of age and sex-matched uninfected mice (UW, n=4), Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected mice at 4 weeks post-infection (4W, n=4) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected mice at 9 weeks post-infection. All data were acquired in MS1 mode, following a canonical non-targeted workflow.
Project description:The 19 parent lines of the Arabidopsis thaliana MAGIC collection show significant differences in their root exudate profiles. Changes in metabolism were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization quadrupole time–of–flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS) untargeted in positive and negative mode, and targeted for a set of known metabolites.
Project description:Analysis of the ovarian cancer cell line OVCAR-5. A standard trypsin digest was carried out on the OVCAR-5 cell lysates which were then analysed in the un-fractionated and fractionated forms. Fractionation was completed using a peptide IEF separation method. All samples were analysed by nano-LC-ESI-MS/MS using a QTOF.
Project description:We profile the transcriptional landscapes associated with acquisition of [ESI+], a prion scaffolded by Snt1, a core component of the Set3C histone deacetylase. We find that acquisition of [ESI+] leads to expression of otherwise silent, heterochromatic loci, proposing a new molecular means by which silent transcriptional states might be reversed.
Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine if ginger root extract when taken daily for 28 days is able to decrease levels of inflammatory chemicals called eicosanoids in the gut tissue of people who are at normal risk and those at increased of developing colorectal cancer compared to people taking placebo.
