Project description:Fascioliasis is a major neglected tropical disease that infects humans and ruminant species worldwide. Recent discoveries have identified that liver fluke extracellular vesicles are released into the host’s internal environment. To understand extracellular vesicle biology further, isolation of the extracellular vesicle is necessary for downstream applications. The most widely used purification method involves differential centrifugation however; there is no ‘gold standard’ to date of extracellular vesicle isolation. Recently, size exclusion chromatography has been used to successfully purify EVs. In this study, liver flukes were collected to compare size exclusion chromatography EV purification, to the widely accepted method of differential centrifugation. Transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy showed that size exclusion chromatography extracellular vesicles were smaller in size and diversity than differential centrifugation purified extracellular vesicles. Protein concentration and western blotting suggested that size exclusion chromatography purification had a high EV purity to protein yield ratio in comparison to differential centrifugation. Mass spectrometry analysis discovered a greater amount of protein identifications and unique peptide hits in differential centrifugation purified EVs with less diverse functionality, than size exclusion chromatography purified EVs. However, gene enrichment analysis against the Fasciola hepatica genome showed comparable results between purification methods. Furthermore, western blotting revealed that glutathione s-transferase sigma could be a potential marker for liver fluke EVs. These results suggest that size exclusion chromatography purification produces a higher EV purity to protein yield ratio and maintains extracellular vesicle composition, so therefore is a better suited method for further downstream experimentation with liver fluke extracellular vesicles, compared to differential centrifugation.

Project description:Antral follicle size might be a valuable additive predictive marker for IVF outcome. However, while some studies show positive relations between follicle size and reproductive outcome, others have not been successful in establishing this relation. To better understand consequences of antral follicle size for reproductive outcome, we aimed to obtain insight in follicle size-related granulosa cell processes, as granulosa cells play an essential role in follicular development via the production of growth factors, steroids and metabolic intermediates, needed for follicular growth and oocyte development. Using pigs as a model, we compared gene and protein expression in granulosa cells of smaller and larger follicles in the healthy antral follicle pool at the start of the follicular phase of the estrous cycle. In sows, the early antral follicle pool is very heterogeneous when e.g. size and steroid content of the follicular fluid are considered. To which extent this variety contributes to the developmental competence of the follicles is not clear. Therefore, sows with high variation in antral follicle size (HighVAR) as well as sows with low variation in antral follicle size (LowVAR) were used. Granulosa cells of smaller antral follicles in the healthy antral follicle pool show increased cell proliferation, which was accompanied by a metabolic shift towards aerobic glycolysis (i.e. the Warburg effect), similar to other highly proliferating cells. High granulosa cell proliferation rates in smaller follicles might be regulated via increased granulosa cell expression of AR and EGFR which are activated in response to locally produced mitogens. While granulosa cells of smaller follicles in the pool were more proliferative, indicative of higher follicular growth, granulosa cells of larger follicles in the pool showed less proliferation and were more differentiated, as they showed a higher expression of follicular maturation marker IGF1 and ANGPT1. Our results imply that the inclusion of strict criteria of antral follicle size in IVF protocols might improve reproductive outcome. In addition, we have granulosa cell gene expression of healthy follicles to unravel underlying mechanisms of differences in COC morphology. We compared gene expression in sows with low vs. high-COC-health and found a decreased expression of genes involved in ovarian steroidogenesis (e.g. CYP19A1, ADM, SPP1) and higher expression of genes involved in follicular atresia (e.g. GADD45A, INHBB) in sows with low-COC-health. Thereby we have identified several genes which may serve as markers for follicle developmental competence.

Project description:Size, as a key physical property of the cell, has enormous impacts on cellular physiology and function. However, whether and how cell size influences stem cell specification is largely unknown. Here, we have analyzed the dynamic changes in cell size during definitive endoderm (DE) differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells. Interestingly, the cell size becomes smaller and with higher stiffness as the differentiation progresses. More importantly, accelerating the cell size diminution with hypertonic pressure significantly improves DE differentiation. Through functional intervention of mechanosensitive elements, we have identified actomyosin activity as a key mediator of DE differentiation and cell size diminution. Mechanistically, the diminution of cell size leads to AMOT nuclear translocation in an actomyosin-dependent manner, which represses YAP activity and thereby permits and facilitates DE differentiation. Together, our study has established a novel connection between cell size diminution and DE differentiation mediated by myosin-dependent AMOT nuclear translocation and suggests application of osmotic pressure an effective facilitator for human endoderm lineage differentiation.

Project description:We found higher substitution rates in cavefish compared with surface fish, in accordance with a smaller cavefish population size which has allowed more rapid fixation of derived alleles present in the ancestral population. This result also implies that the Pachn cave population is much younger than previously estimated. The comparison of these data with simulations suggests that the Pachn cavefish population has probably been underground less than 30,000 years. This new time frame, together with other evidence, indicate that the evolution of cave phenotypes mainly involves the fixation of cryptic genetic variants present in surface fish populations within a short period of time.

Project description:Using the honey bee (Apis mellifera) as a model, we confirmed that honey bee queens actively adjust egg size in response to the number of workers: Queens lay smaller eggs in colonies with more worker bees than when in colonies with few workers. Reduced colony size also causes decreasing ovary weight but upregulation of energy production and protein processing in the ovaries. Complementary metabolomic and proteomic analyses of the produced eggs indicate that amino acid metabolism, cell development, and cell maturation processes are elevated in bigger eggs. Our study thus provides the first mechanistic insights into the adjustment of egg size in the honey bee, a model for complex social systems that demand integration of individual and collective life-history optimization.

Project description:We examined the use of toxicogenomics data to 1) elucidate the underlying mechanisms of pulmonary responses following exposures to titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) of different size and surface charge, and 2) determine if such responses are influenced by embedding particles in complex paint matrix. Adult C57BL/6 mice were exposed via single intratracheal instillation to three doses of free forms of NRCWE-030 (10.5 nm), NRCWE-025 (38 nm), NRCWE-001 (10 nm, neutral charge) NRCWE-002 (10 nm, positive charge) or to sanding dusts of paint consisting of NRCWE-030+NRCWE-025 or NRCWE-025 alone. Controls were exposed to dispersion medium without NPs. TiO2NPs were characterized for size, surface area, and agglomeration status in the exposure medium. Hyperspectral microscopy was performed to detect TiO2NPs in lungs and to determine the in vivo status of matrix-embedded TiO2NPs. Pulmonary gene expression profiles were generated using DNA microarrays on lung tissues collected at 24 h and 28 d post exposure time points. Bioinformatics tools were used to characterize size and surface property-pertinent effects. The data from 360 individual arrays were collapsed into 567 differentially expressed genes (False discovery rate adjusted P ≤ 0.05 and fold change ≥ 1.5 in any one condition). Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the 567 genes revealed that TiO2NPs clustered mainly based on the post-exposure time points and then by the particle types. A meta analysis using pathway tools showed that the combination of smaller size and positive surface charge contributes to the potency of TiO2NPs. Although embedding in matrix dampens the overall toxicity of TiO2NPs, the smaller size positively influences the toxicity. Paint matrix itself did not induce any response. Finally, the observed differences in response reflected the differences in severity of the response and not the underlying mechanisms. Thus, transcriptional profiling is an effective tool to determine the important properties responsible for eliciting a response.

Project description:Determining how size is controlled is a fundamental question in biology that is poorly understood at the organismal, cellular and subcellular levels. The Xenopus species, X. laevis and X. tropicalis differ in size at all three of these levels. Despite these differences, fertilization of X. laevis eggs with X. tropicalis sperm gives rise to viable hybrid animals that are intermediate in size. Hybrid and X. laevis embryos initially start from the same size egg and develop at the same rate, but hybrid animals were smaller by the tailbud stage, and reduced nuclear to cell size ratios were observed shortly after zygotic genome activation (ZGA), indicating that differential gene expression may contribute to size differences. Transcriptome analysis at the onset of ZGA identified twelve transcription factors paternally expressed in hybrids. A screen of these X. tropicalis factors by expression in X. laevis embryos revealed that Hes7 and Ventx2 were sufficient to significantly reduce X. laevis organismal size by the tailbud stage, although nuclear to cell size ratios were not significantly affected. Together, these results suggest that transcriptional regulation contributes to biological size control in Xenopus.
