Project description:Untargeted multi-omics analysis of plasma is an emerging tool for the identification of novel biomarkers for evaluating disease prognosis and for a better understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying human disease. The successful application of metabolomic and pro-teomic approaches relies on reproducibly quantifying a wide range of metabolites and proteins. Herein, we report the results of untargeted metabolomic and proteomic analyses from blood plasma samples following analyte extraction by two frequently used solvent systems: chloro-form/methanol and methanol-only. Whole blood samples were collected from participants (n=6) at University Hospital Sharjah (UHS) hospital, then plasma was separated and extracted by two methods i. methanol precipitation and, ii. 4:3 methanol:chloroform extraction. The coverage and reproducibility of the two methods were assessed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS). The study revealed that metabolite extraction by methanol-only showed greater reproducibility for both metabolomic and proteomic quantifications than did methanol/chloroform, while yielding similar peptide coverage. However, coverage of extracted metabolites was higher with the methanol/chloroform precipitation.

Project description:Paneth cells of intestinal crypts contribute to host defense by producing antimicrobial peptides that are packaged as granules for secretion into the crypt lumen. Here, we provide evidence using light and electron microscopy that postsecretory Paneth cell granules undergo limited dissolution and accumulate within the intestinal crypts of cystic fibrosis (CF) mice. On the basis of this finding, we evaluated bacterial colonization and expression of two major constituents of Paneth cells, i.e., {alpha}-defensins (cryptdins) and lysozyme, in CF murine intestine. Paneth cell granules accumulated in intestinal crypt lumens in both untreated CF mice with impending intestinal obstruction and in CF mice treated with an osmotic laxative that prevented overt clinical symptoms and mucus accretion. Ultrastructure studies indicated little change in granule morphology within mucus casts, whereas granules in laxative-treated mice appear to undergo limited dissolution. Protein extracts from CF intestine had increased levels of processed cryptdins compared with those from wild-type (WT) littermates. Nonetheless, colonization with aerobic bacteria species was not diminished in the CF intestine and oral challenge with a cryptdin-sensitive enteric pathogen, Salmonella typhimurium, resulted in greater colonization of CF compared with WT intestine. Modest downregulation of cryptdin and lysozyme mRNA in CF intestine was shown by microarray analysis, real-time quantitative PCR, and Northern blot analysis. Based on these findings, we conclude that antimicrobial peptide activity in CF mouse intestine is compromised by inadequate dissolution of Paneth cell granules within the crypt lumens. Total RNA was extracted from pooled small intestines of three WT and three CF mice using Tri-Reagent (Molecular Research Center, Cincinnati, OH), and poly(A) RNA was purified by using the MicroPoly(A) mRNA purification kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). The WT and CF poly(A) RNA samples were sent to IncyteGenomics (St. Louis, MO) where they were labeled with cyanine 3 (Cy3) and Cy5, respectively, and hybridized with the UniGEM1.31 array representing 9,570 known genes and expressed sequence tags.

Project description:We performed LC-MSMS analysis using both CID and ETD for the identification of endogenous peptides. Endogenous peptides were extracted from mouse AtT 20 cells by acidified methanol method and all large molecules including proteins were removed by centrifugation. The supernatant containing endogenous peptides was freeze-dried. For LC-MSMS analysis, extracted peptides were resuspended and injected to Ultimate 3000 HPLC system and analysed on LTQ Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer. A 60 min gradient from 2% acetonitrile to 50% acetonitrile, both containing 0.1% formic acid was used to separate peptides on C18 column.The LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer was operated in data-dependent mode, automatically switching between MS and MS/MS acquisition for the three most abundant peaks in a given MS spectrum. A chosen precursor ion was first fragmented by CID and ETD. Data processing: The raw data files were processed with Proteome Discoverer 1.3. The CID and ETD spectra were then written to Mascot generic files. OMSSA (version 2.1.9) was used and b- and y- ions were selected for CID data, and c-, y- and z- ions were used for ETD. The spectra were searched by setting the parent ion mass accuracy to +/- 0.02 Da. For fragment ions, the mass tolerance was set to +/- 0.4 Da. For the genome-wide peptide search, the mouse genomic sequence (NCBI build 37.61) was directly translated in its 6 reading frames, and used for spectral searching. No enzymatic cleavage was taken into account during the database searches. No variable PTMs were included.

Project description:An insulating myelin sheath ensures saltatory conduction of mechanosensory A afferents. Myelin damage results in the electrical instability of A fibers and the ability to generate pain in response to light touch/pressure (mechanical allodynia). We have hypothesized and then established that the release of T cell epitopes of myelin basic protein (MBP) enables nociceptive circuitry in myelinated fibers. Thus, mass spectrometry analysis of the rat sciatic nerve proteome followed by bioinformatics examination of the datasets revealed a loss of MBP and activation of T-helper cell signaling in the nerves undergoing chronic constriction injury (CCI). Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) proteolysis resulted in the MBP digest peptides, including the MBP84-104 and MBP68-86 regions, which exhibit prominent immunogenic epitopes. Myelin-forming Schwann cells and paranodal areas accumulated MHCII, MMP-9 and the degraded MBP at the sciatic nerve injury site. Administration of the immunodominant MBP84-104 and MBP68-86 peptides but not of the control peptides in a naïve rat sciatic nerve produced robust mechanical allodynia. Allodynia was accompanied by the T cell infiltration and an increase in MHCII, IL-17A and TNF- levels at the nerve injection site and the segmental ganglia. The pro-nociceptive activity of the synthetic MBP84-104 diminished in athymic nude rats lacking T cells. SB-3CT, an antagonist of MMP-9, inhibited mechanical allodynia, neuroinflammation and spinal sensitization after CCI. Collectively, our novel data implicate, for the first time, MMP-mediated cleavage of MBP and the resulting MBP digest fragments as a major cause of neuropathic pain.

Project description:We developed a truncation strategy which efficiently convert intact glycopeptides with hundreds of different glycans into two truncated forms, i.e. a monosaccharide HexNAc and a disaccharide HexNAc+core-Fucose. Further combination with data-independent analysis to form an integrated platform allowed the measurement of site-specific core-fucosylation abundances and the determination of CF occupancy ratio with high reproducibility. Notably, three times of CF sites were identified using this strategy compared to conventional methods based on intact glycopeptide.

Project description:<p>The data are dissolved organic compounds from three stations sampled in the western Atlantic Ocean in 2013. Seawater samples spanning from the surface ocean to the seafloor were collected, filtered, acidified, and extracted using solid phase extraction with Bond Elut PPL cartridges. The extracts were separated using reversed phase chromatography and analyzed with ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry in negative ion mode. The resulting data are features, or a unique combination of mass-to -charge values and retention time. </p>
