Project description:Proton irradiation is touted for its improved tumor targeting due to the physical advantages of ion beams for radiotherapy. Recent studies from our laboratory have shown that, in addition to targeting advantages, proton irradiation can inhibit angiogenic and immune factors and thereby modulate tumor progression. High-energy protons also constitute a principal component of the galactic cosmic rays to which astronauts are exposed. Increased understanding of the biological effects of proton exposure would thus contribute to both improved cancer therapy and carcinogenesis risk assessment for space travel. In addition, age plays a major role in tumor incidence and is a critical consideration for estimating cancer risk. We investigated the effects of host age and proton exposure on tumor progression. Tumor lag time and growth dynamics were tracked following injection of murine Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells into young (68 day) versus old (736 day) mice with or without coincident irradiation. Tumor progression was suppressed in old compared to young mice. Differences in progression were further modulated by proton irradiation (1GeV), with increased inhibition evident in old mice. Through global transcriptome analysis, TGFβ1 and TGFβ2 were determined to be key players that contributed to the tumor dynamics observed. These findings point to older hosts providing decreased systemic tumor support, which can be further inhibited by proton irradiation.

For genome-wide expression profiling of tumor tissue, Mouse WG-6 BeadArray chips (Illumina, San Diego, CA) were used. Total RNA was amplified with the Ambion Illumina TotalPrep Amplification Kit (Ambion, Austin, TX) and labeled from all replicate biological samples for each condition. For tumor replicates, thirty tumor samples from adolescent and thirty tumor samples from old mice, for a total of 60 tumor samples, were used. All replicate samples were run individually. For each age group, ten tumor samples had received proton irradiation while twenty tumor samples were from unirradiated mice (as described above). Total RNA was isolated and purified using TRIzol (Invitrogen) and quantified using an Agilent Bioanalyzer. Samples were deemed suitable for amplification and hybridization if they had 28s/18s = 2:1, RIN >7. Total RNA of 500ng per sample was amplified using AmbionTotalPrep, and 1.5ug of the product was loaded onto the chips. Following hybridization at 55C, the chips were washed and then scanned using the Illumina iScan System. The data was checked with GenomeStudio (Illumina) for quality control. In GenomeStudio, data was background subtracted and rank invariant normalization was applied. Data was imported into MultiExperiment Viewer, MeV, for statistical analysis. The statistically significant genes were determined using MeV by applying a one-way ANOVA analysis with standard Bonferroni correction with a FDR <0.05 that resulted in a list of significant genes. Average gene expression signals <10 were filtered out due to signal being

Project description:The core factors dictating the photocatalysis efficiency are predominantly centered on controllable modulation of anisotropic spatial charge transfer/separation and regulating vectorial charge transport pathways. Nonetheless, the sluggish charge transport kinetics and incapacity of precisely tuning interfacial charge flow at the nanoscale level are still the primary dilemma. Herein, we conceptually demonstrate the elaborate design of a cascade charge transport chain over transition metal chalcogenide-insulating polymer-cocatalyst (TIC) photosystems via a progressive self-assembly strategy. The intermediate ultrathin non-conjugated insulating polymer layer, i.e., poly(diallyl-dimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA), functions as the interfacial electron relay medium, and simultaneously, outermost co-catalysts serve as the terminal "electron reservoirs", synergistically contributing to the charge transport cascade pathway and substantially boosting the interfacial charge separation. We found that the insulating polymer mediated unidirectional charge transfer cascade is universal for a large variety of metal or non-metal reducing co-catalysts (Au, Ag, Pt, Ni, Co, Cu, NiSe2, CoSe2, and CuSe). More intriguingly, such peculiar charge flow characteristics endow the self-assembled TIC photosystems with versatile visible-light-driven photoredox catalysis towards photocatalytic hydrogen generation, anaerobic selective organic transformation, and CO2-to-fuel conversion. Our work would provide new inspiration for smartly mediating spatial vectorial charge transport towards emerging solar energy conversion.

Project description:Light harvesting complex II (LHCII) in plants and green algae have been shown to adapt their absorption properties, depending on the concentration of sunlight, switching between a light harvesting and a non-harvesting or quenched state. In a recent work, combining classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with quantum chemical calculations (Liguori et al. in Sci Rep 5:15661, 2015) on LHCII, it was shown that the Chl611-Chl612 cluster of the terminal emitter domain can play an important role in modifying the spectral properties of the complex. In that work the importance of charge transfer (CT) effects was highlighted, in re-shaping the absorption intensity of the chlorophyll dimer. Here in this work, we investigate the combined effect of the local excited (LE) and CT states in shaping the energy landscape of the chlorophyll dimer. Using subsystem Density Functional Theory over the classical [Formula: see text]s MD trajectory we look explicitly into the excitation energies of the LE and the CT states of the dimer and their corresponding couplings. Upon doing so, we observe a drop in the excitation energies of the CT states, accompanied by an increase in the couplings between the LE/LE and the LE/CT states facilitated by a shorter interchromophoric distance upon equilibration. Both these changes in conjunction, effectively produces a red-shift of the low-lying mixed exciton/CT states of the supramolecular chromophore pair.

Project description:Despite the recent technological advances in Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) instrumentation, top-down proteomics (TDP) is currently mostly applied to the characterization of proteoforms <30 kDa due to the poor performance of high-resolution FTMS for the analysis of larger proteoforms and the high complexity of intact proteomes in the 30-60 kDa mass range. Here, we propose a novel data acquisition method based on ion-ion proton transfer, herein termed proton transfer charge reduction (PTCR), to investigate large proteoforms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a high-throughput fashion. We designed a targeted data acquisition strategy, named tPTCR, which applies two consecutive gas phase fractionation steps for obtaining intact precursor masses: first, a narrow (1.5 m/z-wide) quadrupole filter m/z transmission window is used to select a subset of charge states from all ionized proteoform cations; second, this aliquot of protein cations is subjected to PTCR in order to reduce their average charge state: upon m/z analysis in an Orbitrap, proteoform mass spectra with minimal m/z peak overlap and easy-to-interpret charge state distributions are obtained, simplifying the proteoform mass calculation. Subsequently, the same quadrupole-selected narrow m/z region of analytes is subjected to collisional dissociation to obtain proteoform sequence information, which used in combination with intact mass information leads to proteoform identification through an off-line database search. The newly proposed method was benchmarked against the previously developed "medium/high" data-dependent acquisition strategy and doubled the number of UniProt entries and proteoforms >30 kDa identified on the liquid chromatography time scale.
