Enhanced validation of antibodies for research applications

ABSTRACT: There is a need for standardized validation methods for antibody specificity and selectivity. Recently, five alternative validation “pillars" were proposed to explore the specificity of research antibodies using methods with no need for prior knowledge about the protein target. Here, we show that these principles can be used in a streamlined manner for enhanced validation of research antibodies in Western blot applications. More than 6,000 antibodies were validated with at least one of these strategies involving orthogonal methods, genetic knockdown, recombinant expression, independent antibodies and migration capture mass spectrometry analysis. The results show a path forward for efforts to validate antibodies in an application-specific manner suitable for both providers and users.

Expression data from broiler chickens in response to the combined stressors of catching, transport and slaughter

Project description:The process of commercial catching, transport and slaughter (CTS) is known to be an acute stressful event in broiler chickens. Corticosteroid concentrations increase, impacting measures of IGF-1, growth hormone and metabolites of the immune system from blood plasma samples. We used ARK-Genomics chicken 20K oligo array, a two channel DNA microarray, to investigate the significantly differentially expressed genes in the livers of chickens during CTS. We investigate the differences of gene expression profiles in hepatic tissues between control birds (n=10) and birds experiencing CTS (n=10) using an ARK-Genomics chicken 20K oligo array, a two channel DNA array (http://www.ark-genomics.orgmicroarray) with full dye swap.

Exaptation of an evolutionary constraint enables behavioural control over the composition of secreted venom in giant centipedes

Project description:Venoms are biochemical arsenals that have emerged in numerous animal lineages, where they have coevolved with morphological and behavioural traits for venom production and delivery. In centipedes, venom evolution is thought to be constrained by the morphological complexity of their venom glands due to physiological limitations on the number of toxins produced by their secretory cells. Here, we show that the uneven toxin expression that results from these limitations have enabled giant centipedes to regulate the composition of their secreted venom despite having morphologically undifferentiated venom glands. We show that this control is likely achieved by the complex neuronal networks that innervate each venom gland subunit and is facilitated by morphological adaptations that circumvent the physiological evolutionary constraints on venom production. Our results suggest behavioural control over venom composition may be an overlooked aspect of venom biology and provide an example of how exaptation can facilitate evolutionary innovation and novelty.

Deep LC-MS/MS analysis of the proteome from six cell lines

Project description:Mass spectrometry is a rational orthogonal method for antibody-based assays, but implementation of MS in the validation pipeline of antibody manufacturers is hampered by the high cost and low throughput. Here we present a rapid method for antibody validation based on denaturing gel electrophoresis of biotinylated cell lysates (PAGE) followed by mass spectrometry (MS) and antibody array analysis (MAP). The first step, PAGE, produces 12 fractions containing proteins of increasing molecular weight. The fractions are analyzed in parallel by MS and MAP. Antibodies to be tested are immobilized on color coded polymer beads to create antibody arrays, which can comprise up to several thousand various antibodies. MS data provide definite protein identifications in each fraction, creating a reference for antibody reactivity patterns obtained via MAP. The method employs automated software to compare both datasets and provide validation data for each antibody tested. Due to the high-throughput nature of the assay we were able to screen several thousands of antibodies against six different cell lines. The differences in protein expression between the cell lines provide an additional control of antibody specificity. Using PAGE-MAP it is possible to screen and validate thousands of antibodies in a matter of weeks. Moreover, antibodies are tested under standardized conditions, which allows for direct comparison of their performance.

Human antibodies enhance association of macrophages to Candida albicans and reduce fungal-mediated epithelial damage

Project description:Candida albicans is a common commensal on human mucosal surfaces, but can become pathogenic, e.g. if the host is immunocompromised. While neutrophils, macrophages and T cells-driven activation of neutrophils are regarded as major players in the defence against C. albicans, the role of B cells and the protective function of their antibodies are less well characterized. In this study, we show that human serum antibodies are able to enhance the the association of human macrophages with C. albicans cells . Human serum antibodies are also capable of reducing the growth of the fungi as well as inhibiting adhesion to epithelial cells. Furthermore, human serum antibodies impair C. albicans’ invasion into human oral epithelial cells by blocking induced endocytosis and consequently host cell damage. While aspartic proteases secreted by C. albicans were able to cleave human IgG, this process does not appear to affect the protective function of human antibodies in adhesion. Thus, humans are equipped with antiC. albicans antibodies, which can enhance antifungal activities and which can prevent fungal mediated epithelial damage (even in immunocompromised settings).

Sediment Series Upper Danube River (Sediment Extract and Freeze-Dried)

Project description:The zebrafish embryo has repeatedly proved to be a useful model for the analysis of effects by environmental toxicants. This study was performed to investigate if an approach combining mechanism-specific bioassays with microarray techniques can obtain more in-depth insights into the ecotoxicity of complex pollutant mixtures as present, e.g., in freeze-dried whole sediment samples and their corresponding organic extracts in parallel. To this end, altered gene expression was compared to data from established bioassays as well as to results from chemical analysis. Microarray analysis revealed several classes of significantly regulated genes which could to a considerable extent be related to the hazard potential. Results indicate that potential classes of contaminants can be assigned to sediment extracts by both classical biomarker genes and corresponding expression profile analyses of known substances. However, it is difficult to distinguish between specific responses and more universal detoxification of the organism. Additionally, different gene expression was shown to be less influenced by the sampling site than by the method of exposure, which could be attributed to differential bioavailability of contaminants. Microarray analyses were performed with early life stages of zebrafish exposed to sediment extracts or freeze-dried sediment from three sampling sites (Ehingen, Lauchert, Sigmaringen) along the Upper part of the Danube River, Germany. The expression profiles were compared within the sampling sites, between the exposure scheme and to the expression pattern of model toxicants, such as 4-chloroaniline, Cadmium, DDT, TCDD, and Valproic acid (Gene Expression Omnibus Series GSE9357). Additionally, mechanism-specific bioassays and chemical analysis of the sediments have been combined and compared to the present gene expression data.

INPP5D regulates inflammasome activation in human microglia

Project description:Microglia and neuroinflammation play an important role in the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase D (INPP5D) is a myeloid-expressed gene genetically-associated with AD. Through unbiased analyses of RNA and protein profiles in INPP5D-disrupted iPSC-derived human microglia, we find that reduction in INPP5D activity is associated with molecular profiles consistent with disrupted autophagy and inflammasome activation. These findings are validated through targeted pharmacological experiments which demonstrate that reduced INPP5D activity induces the formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, cleavage of CASP1, and secretion of IL-1 and IL-18. Further, in-depth analyses of human brain tissue across hundreds of individuals using a multi-analytic approach provides evidence that a reduction in function of INPP5D in microglia results in inflammasome activation in AD. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying microglia-mediated processes in AD and highlight the inflammasome as a potential therapeutic target for modulating INPP5D-mediated vulnerability to AD.

SORL1 regulates APOE and CLU levels in human neurons

Project description:SORL1 is implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) through genetic studies. To interrogate the role(s) of SORL1 in human brain cells, SORL1 null iPSCs are differentiated to neuron, astrocyte, microglial, and endothelial cell fates. Loss of SORL1 leads to alterations in both overlapping and distinct pathways across cell types, with the greatest effects in neurons and astrocytes. SORL1 loss induces a neuron-specific reduction in APOE and CLU and altered lipid profiles. Enhancement of retromer-mediated trafficking rescues tau phenotypes observed in SORL1 null neurons but does not rescue APOE levels. Pathway analyses implicate TGF-β/SMAD signaling in SORL1 function, and modulating SMAD signaling in neurons alters APOE RNA levels in a SORL1-dependent manner. Analyses of iPSCs derived from a large cohort reveal a neuron-specific association between SORL1, APOE, and CLU levels, a finding validated in post-mortem brain. These studies provide a mechanistic link between strong genetic risk factors for AD.

Granulins rescue inflammation, lysosome dysfunction, and neuropathology in a mouse model of progranulin deficiency

Project description:In this study, we investigate whether individual granulin subunits derived from the precursor protein progranulin are beneficial. We test this by asking if delivery of a single granulin to the brains of a preclinical model of FTD-GRN Grn-/-mice is sufficient to ameliorate disease-like phenotypes. We performed intracerebroventricular injections of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV2/1) encoding granulin-2, granulin-4, full-length PGRN or GFP in neonatal Grn+/+ and Grn-/- mice. Following AAV injections, mice were aged for 12 months, tissues collected, and analyzed. Quantitative proteomics of the thalamus identified lysosomal function and neuroinflammation as pathways ameliorated by the expression of granulins. Biochemical markers of lysosomal dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and disease-like pathology were assessed via immunoblot and immunohistochemistry. We found that both granulin-2 and granulin-4 rescue markers of lysosomal dysfunction and neuroinflammation in cortical, hippocampal, and thalamic tissue.
