Olfactory cleft proteome does not reflect olfactory performance in patients with idiopathic and postinfectious olfactory disorder: A pilot study.

ABSTRACT: The pathophysiology of post-infectious and idiopathic olfactory loss is still poorly delineated. Since proteins are key players in olfaction and technical advances including LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry give us the opportunity for detailed analysis of the nasal mucus proteome we aimed to undertake a comparative analysis of the olfactory cleft mucus proteome using mucus samples of the olfactory cleft in patients with idiopathic and postinfectious olfactory disorders versus healthy controls. The study was conceived as a pilot study and included 7 patients with idiopathic hyp- and anosmia, 7 patients with postinfectious hyp- and anosmia and 7 healthy controls. In total, 1117 different proteins were detected in at least 5 patients in at least one group. No significant different overall protein concentrations in patients compared to healthy controls (0.4614 µg/µL, SD=0.26273 vs. 0.5143 µg/µL, SD=3087; p=0.689) were found. Significant correlation regarding olfactory test results (TDI score) and protein concentrations (r=0.114, p=0.623) were either found. Results of this study did not show significant differences regarding the proteomic composition of the olfactory cleft mucus between patients suffering from postinfectious and idiopathic dysosmia versus healthy controls. Thus, central olfactory processing pathways may play a role in idiopathic and postinfectious olfactory disorders.

Technical advances including liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and its data analysis enable detailed proteomic analysis of the nasal mucus. Alterations of the nasal mucus proteome may provoke substantial changes of the nasal physiology and have already been associated with rhinologic diseases such as allergic rhinitis. This study was conducted as a pilot study to map the olfactory cleft proteome using current techniques for proteomic analysis. Furthermore, we aimed to investigate pr ...[more]

Project description:Distant enhancer elements are a major source of specificity in mammalian gene expression. Although enhancers that regulate broad developmental decisions and inducible gene expression have been studied extensively, little is known about regulatory elements that govern monogenic and monoallelic expression. Here, using high throughput epigenetic and genetic techniques we identified a plethora of distant enhancers that regulate monoallelic olfactory receptor (OR) gene expression. Potential OR enhancers have unique, cell type specific epigenetic marks that distinguish them from other neuronal enhancers and correlate with enhancer activity in vivo. Using sequence capture to enrich for these sequences we identified Dnase-protected footprints that reveal novel regulatory sequences and transcription factors required for OR gene activation. Our experiments provide insight to the regulation of OR expression, and describe novel principles and methodologies towards the understanding of transcriptional mechanisms that generate cellular diversity. In vivo examination of H3K79me3 enrichment and DNAse protected footprints on olfactory receptor enhancer sequences. We performed ChIP-seq on native chromatin isolated from the mouse olfactory epithelium using antibodies against H3K79me3. To sequence accessible regions of the genome we treated nuclei with limiting amounts of DNAse I to digest accessible chromatin and perform Dnase Hypersensitivity (DHS)-seq. In the olfactory epithelium, the H enhancer – the first described enhancer for olfactory receptors has a well-defined DNAse I hypersensitivity peak and is flanked by high levels of H3K79me3. We find other intergenic sequences nearby olfactory receptor genes that share the same chromatin signature, and test their function in vivo. TO uncover transcription factor footprints on olfactory receptor enhancers we performed sequence capture of the DHS-seq library to enrich for these sequences. We find multiple DNAse-protected sequences and perform motif analysis on transcription factor footprints to reveal factors involved in olfactory receptor gene regulation.
