Project description:The proteomic content of the extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini has been addressed in the past. Here we employ a more comprehensive purification method of the 120k subpopulation of EVs and analyze proteins present in different locations of these EVs (including external trypsin-liberated peptides, cargo proteins and membrane proteins) using LC-MS/MS.
Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary hepatic malignancy worldwide, with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) a particularly significant public health problem in Southeast Asia, due to its strong association with the food-borne parasite Opisthorchis viverrini (OV). This manuscript represents the first comprehensive miRNA expression profiling by microarray of the three most common histological grades of OV-induced ICC: moderately differentiated, papillary, and well differentiated tumor tissue. No cohort of miRNAs emerged as commonly dysregulated among these histological grades of OV-induced ICC. Instead, each histological grade of ICC tissue showed a distinct miRNA profile. Moderately differentiated tumor tissue showed both the greatest number and the highest magnitude of miRNA dysregulation, followed by papillary ICC tumor tissue, and differentiated ICC tumor tissue. When ICC tumor tissue was compared to adjacent non-tumor tissue, a remarkable similarity in miRNA dysregulation was observed between these samples, indicative of intrahepatic metastasis. These findings indicate the possibility of determining the histological grade of ICC by profiling miRNA dysregulation, which not only would greatly enhance the molecular diagnosis of ICC, but could even lead to the personalized the treatment for ICC by the early classification of histological grade.
Project description:We have performed a quantitative proteomic analysis of the hemocytes and plasma proteins from O. viverrini-infected Bithynia siamensis goniomphalos snails using SWATH-MS. The dataset contains validation SWATH-MS data and Skyline results plus the sample-specific libraries.
Project description:Non–alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is high prevalent in worldwide and associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Infection with Opisthorchis viverrini (Ov) infection and consumption of high fat and high fructose (HFF) exacerbates NAFLD to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in hamsters. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect a combination of HFF diet and Ov infection on kidney pathology via alteration of gut microbiome and proteome in hamster.

A total of 46 unique liver tissue samples were analyzed on Agilent human miRNA microarray (miRBase Release 16.0). Of the 46 samples, 13 are from non-cancer healthy patients with gastric bypass surgery. The rest of 33 samples are CCA tumor tissue samples and their paired adjacent normal/necrotic tissue: 12 from well differentiated CCA, 17 from papillary CCA, 4 from moderately differentiated CCA.
