Abstract
Despite highly developed specific immune responses, tumour cells often manage to escape recognition by the immune system, continuing to grow uncontrollably. Experimental work suggests that mature myeloid cells may be central to the activation of the specific immune response. Recognition and subsequent control of tumour growth by the cells of the specific immune response depend on the balance between immature (ImC) and mature (MmC) myeloid cells in the body. However, tumour cells produce cytokines that inhibit ImC maturation, altering the balance between ImC and MmC. Hence, the focus of this manuscript is on the study of the potential role of this inhibiting mechanism on tumour growth dynamics. A conceptual predator-prey type model that incorporates the dynamics and interactions of tumour cells, CD8(+) T cells, ImC and MmC is proposed in order to address the role of this mechanism. The prey (tumour) has a defence mechanism (blocking the maturation of ImC) that prevents the predator (immune system) from recognizing it. The model, a four-dimensional nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations, is reduced to a two-dimensional system using time-scale arguments that are tied to the maturation rate of ImC. Analysis shows that the model is capable of supporting biologically reasonable patterns of behaviour depending on the initial conditions. A range of parameters, where healing without external influences can occur, is identified both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Project description:Background: Marine biofouling negatively impacts industries reliant upon submerged stationary surfaces. The acorn barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite is a major biofouler that permanently attaches to a wide array of substrates by producing a proteinaceous adhesive at the surface interface. These interface proteins are difficult to solubilize, and the understanding of what proteins exist in the adhesive has only been expanded with the use of the strong polar solvent hexafluoroisopropanol in combination with standard gel-based sample processing methods for proteomics analysis. Although effective, existing sample processing methods are labor and time intensive, hindering progress in this field. Results: We have developed a more efficient sample processing method by exploiting pressure cycling technology, which aids in protein extraction and digestion for proteomics analysis, and explored the efficacy of multiple solvents in combination with pressure on protein identification. We found that barnacle adhesive proteins can be extracted and digested in the same tube using pressure cycling technology, minimizing sample loss, increasing throughput to 16 concurrently processed samples, and decreasing sample processing time to under 8 hours. Pressure cycling technology methods produced similar proteomes in comparison to previous methods. Two solvents which were ineffective at extracting proteins from the adhesive at ambient pressure (urea and methanol) produced more protein identifications under pressure than hexafluoroisopropanol, leading to the identification and our description of >40 novel proteins at the interface. Many A. amphitrite adhesive proteins have no sequence similarity to publically available proteins, highlighting the unique adherent processes evolved by barnacles. Conclusion: Using pressure cycling technology, we describe methods that produce robust and consistent protein identifications from barnacle adhesive. These methods can be used to examine changes in barnacle adhesive, enabling future research on the effects of environmental and surface substrate composition on barnacle cement, a critical step for both broadening the understanding of barnacle adhesion and the development of new coatings for submerged surfaces to combat hard biofoulants.

Project description:Throughout all kingdoms of life, a large number of adhesive biomolecules have evolved to allow organisms to adhere to surfaces underwater. Proteins play an important role in the adhesion of numerous marine invertebrates (e.g. mussels, sea stars, sea urchins) whereas much less is known about the biological adhesives from marine plants, including the diatoms. Diatoms are unicellular microalgae that together with bacteria dominate marine biofilms in sunlit habitats. In this study we present the first proteomics analyses of the diatom adhesive material isolated from the tenacious fouling species Amphora coffeaeformis. We identified 21 proteins, of which 13 are diatom specific. Ten of these proteins share a conserved C-terminal domain, termed GDPH domain, which is widespread yet not ubiquitously present in all diatom classes. Immunofluorescence localization of a GDPH domain bearing protein (Ac629) as well as two other proteins identified in this study (Ac1442, Ac9617) demonstrated that these are components of the adhesive trails that are secreted by cells that glide on surfaces.

Project description:Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a Gram-negative bacterium that is a pathogen of other Gram-negative bacteria, including many bacteria which are pathogens of humans, animals and plants. As such Bdellovibrio has potential as a biocontrol agent, or living antibiotic. B. bacteriovorus HD100 has a large genome and it is not yet known which of it encodes the molecular machinery and genetic control of predatory processes. We have tried to fill this knowledge-gap using mixtures of predator and prey mRNAs to monitor changes in Bdellovibrio gene expression at a timepoint of early-stage prey infection and prey killing in comparison to control cultures of predator and prey alone and also in comparison to Bdellovibrio growing axenically (in a prey-or host independent “HI” manner) on artificial media containing peptone and tryptone. From this we have highlighted genes of the early predatosome with predicted roles in prey killing and digestion and have gained insights into possible regulatory mechanisms as Bdellovibrio enter and establish within the prey bdelloplast. Approximately seven percent of all Bdellovibrio genes were significantly up-regulated at 30 minutes of infection- but not in HI growth- implicating the role of these genes in prey digestion. Five percent were down-regulated significantly, implicating their role in free-swimming, attack-phase physiology. This study gives the first post- genomic insight into the predatory process and reveals some of the important genes that Bdellovibrio expresses inside the prey bacterium during the initial attack.

Project description:For the studies of cell migration in various micro-environments, self-assembled monolayer surfaces presenting adhesive ligand, RGD peptide, were used for the assay. Presentation of RGD ligands was based on the immobilization reaction with alkanethiols on a gold surface. There were differences in cell morphology and migration according to the ligand affinity (linear vs. cyclic RGD) and manner of ligand presentation (dynamic vs. non-dynamic). In dynamic surface experiment, cells initially grown on the fibronectin-coated patterns were exposed to either linear or cyclic RGD while in non-dynamic surface experiment cells interacted with the immobilized RGD from the beginning. Goal was to compare how the affinity and spatio-temporal exposure of ligand affect the overall transcriptional profiling. Five conditioned surfaces were prepared by chemical treatment for cell culture: Fibronectin, Dynamic linear RGD, Dynamic cyclic RGD, Non-dynamic linear RGD, and Non-dynamic cyclic RGD surfaces. Reference: cells cultured in standard tissue culture flasks. Biological replicates: triplicates for each experiment (each surface was 1.25 cm x 1.25 cm and three surfaces were used for each condition). When reached 70-80% of confluency, cells from the triplicates were pooled and harvested for RNA extraction. Hybridization replicates: 4 replicates for each condition.

Project description:Biological adhesion (bioadhesion) is referred to attachment of organisms to either biotic or abiotic surfaces. The differentiated ectodermal basal disc cells of the freshwater cnidarian Hydra secrete proteinaceous glue to temporarily attach themselves to surfaces underwater. In this study, we investigate for the first time the protein content of adhesive secretions from the freshwater cnidarian Hydra magnipapillata strain 105. This secretome were analysed using mass spectrometry and resulting MS/MS data were searched against in silico translated H. magnipapillata transcriptome and results from gene expression.
