Project description:Horse urine is easily collected and contains molecules readily measurable using mass spectrometry that can be used as biomarkers representative of health, disease or drug tampering. This study aimed at analyzing microliter levels of horse urine to purify, identify and quantify proteins, polar metabolites and non-polar lipids. Urine from a healthy 12 year old quarter horse mare on a diet of grass hay and vitamin/mineral supplements with limited pasture access was collected for serial-omics characterization. The urine was treated with methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and methanol to partition into three distinct layers for protein, non-polar lipid and polar metabolite content from a single liquid-liquid extraction and was repeated two times. Each layer was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography – high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to obtain protein sequence and relative protein levels as well as identify and quantify small polar metabolites and lipids. The results show 46 urine proteins, many related to normal kidney function, structural and circulatory proteins as well as 474 small polar metabolites but only 10 lipid molecules. Metabolites were mostly related to urea cycle and ammonia recycling as well as amino acid related pathways, plant diet specific molecules, etc. The few lipids represented triglycerides and phospholipids. These data show a complete mass spectrometry based –omics characterization of equine urine from a single 333 uL mid-stream urine aliquot. The data can be used as a baseline for healthy urine composition and analyses can be used to monitor disease progression, health status, monitor drug use, etc.

Project description:Urine provides a diverse source of information related to health status and is ideal for clinical proteomics because of its ease of collection. To date, there is no standard operating procedure for reproducible and robust urine sample processing for mass spectrometry-based clinical proteomics. To address this need, a novel workflow was developed based on an on-bead protein capture, clean up, and digestion without the requirement from pre-processing steps such as precipitation. The workflow was applied to an acute kidney injury (AKI) pilot study. Urine from clinical samples and a pooled sample were subjected to automated sample preparation in a KingFisher™ Flex magnetic handling station using a novel urine-HILIC (uHLC) approach based on MagReSyn® HILIC microspheres. For benchmarking, the pooled sample was also prepared using a published protocol based on an on-membrane (OM) protein capture and digestion workflow. Peptides were analysed by LCMS in DIA mode using a Dionex Ultimate 3000 UPLC coupled to a Sciex 5600 mass spectrometer. Data was searched in Spectronaut™ 17. Following statistical analysis, candidate protein markers were filtered at ≥ 2-fold change in abundance, ≥ 2 uniques peptides and ≤ 1% false discovery rate. Both workflows showed similar peptide and protein identifications in the pooled sample. The uHLC workflow was easier to set up and complete, having less hands-on time than the OM method. With fewer manuel processiing steps, a lower peptide and protein CV was observed in the uHLC technical replicates. Analysis of clinical samples revealed many significant, differentially abundant kidney injury-associated urinary proteins. The pilot data derived using this novel workflow provides information on the urinary proteome of patients with AKI. Further exploration in a larger cohort using this novel high-throughput method is warranted.

Project description:Genetic and molecular evidence to support the hypothesis that fungal secondary metabolites play a significant role in protecting the fungi against fungivory is scarce. We investigated the impact of fungal secondary metabolites on transcript regulation of stress related expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of the Collembola Folsomia candida feeding on mixed vs. single diets. Aspergillus nidulans wildtype (WT; Ascomycota) able to produce secondary metabolites including sterigmatocystin (ST) and a knockout mutant with reduced secondary metabolism (A. nidulans ΔLaeA) were combined with the high quality fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides as mixed diets or offered as single diets. We hypothesized that (i) A. nidulans WT triggers more genes associated with stress responses compared to the A. nidulans ΔlaeA strain with suppressed secondary metabolism, (ii) C. cladosporioides causes significantly different transcript regulation than the A. nidulans strains ΔlaeA and WT, and (iii) mixed diets will cause significantly different transcript expression levels than single diets. All three hypotheses are generally supported despite the fact that many functions of the affected ESTs are unknown. The results bring molecular evidence for the existence of a link between fungal secondary metabolites and responses in springtails supporting the hypothesis that fungal secondary metabolites act as a shield against fungivory.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) biomarkers for fragile X syndrome were searched by urine microRNA (miRNA) profiling using deep sequencing. The urine miRNA profile of twin boys who shared the same environment but one had a FXS full mutation and the other carried a premutation allele was compared based on the similar sequence reads. The urine of twin boys showed 28 differentiatially regulated miRNAs when 219 reliable identified miRNAs were compared.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of urine and blood samples from patients with diabetic chronic kidney disease. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip kit was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs. Samples included two urine and four buffy coat samples from adults with diabetic chronic kidney disease.

Project description:Urinary tract-associated lymphoid structures (UTLASs), tertiary lymphoid tissues, are formed in renal pelvis (RP) of humans and mice with chronic kidney disease. We found that UTALS development was accelerated by urine leakage from RP lumen to the parenchyma following dysfunction of transitional epithelium covering UTLASs. Thus, UTALS-forming cells were stimulated by urine including urinary bio active substances.
