Glyphosate_proteomics - Glyphosate does not substitute for glycine in proteins of actively dividing mammalian cells

ABSTRACT: This is a first analysis of potential direct or indirect effects of glyphosate on protein post-translational modification in mammalian cell culture, using TMT labelling to control for false discoveries. Potential effects on the global proteome were also investigated.

Glyphosate does not substitute for glycine in proteins of actively dividing mammalian cells.

BMC research notes 20190808 1

<h4>Objectives</h4>Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethyl glycine) and its commercial herbicide formulations have been shown to exert toxicity via various mechanisms. It has been asserted that glyphosate substitutes for glycine in polypeptide chains leading to protein misfolding and toxicity. However, as no direct evidence exists for glycine to glyphosate substitution in proteins, including in mammalian organisms, we tested this claim by conducting a proteomics analysis of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer ...[more]

Project description:Epithelial ovarian cancer is morphologically and clinically heterogeneous. Transcriptional profiling has revealed molecular subtypes (referred to as M-bM-^@M-^\C-signaturesM-bM-^@M-^]) that correlate to biological as well as clinical features. We aimed to determine gene expression differences between malignant, benign and borderline serous ovarian tumors, and to investigate similarities to the intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Global gene expression profiling was performed using Illumina's HT12 Bead Arrays and applied to 59 fresh-frozen ovarian tumors. SAM analysis revealed enrichment of cell cycel processes among the malignant tumors, in line with malignant tumors being highly proliferative. The borderline tumors were split between the malignant and benign tumor clusters, indicating that borderline tumors have both malignant and benign features. Furthermore, nearest centroid classification was performed applying previously published gene profiles for the ovarian cancer C-signatures and the intrinsic breast cancer subtypes, respectively, and showed significant correlations between the malignant serous tumors and the highly aggressive C1, C2 and C4 ovarian cancer signatures, and the basal-like breast cancer subtype. The benign and borderline serous tumors together were significantly correlated to the normal-like breast cancer subtype and the ovarian cancer C3 signature. The borderline tumors, on the other hand, correlated significantly to the Luminal A breast cancer subtype. These findings remained when analyzed in a large, independent dataset. The data in this study link the transcriptional profiles of serous ovarian cancer to the intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer, in line with the shared clinical and molecular features between high-grade serous ovarian cancer and basal-like breast cancer, including an aggressive phenotype, frequent TP53 mutations and a high degree of genomic instability, and suggest that biomarkers and targeted therapies may overlap between these subsets of ovarian and breast cancers. Finally, the link between benign and borderline ovarian cancer and luminal breast cancer may indicate endocrine responsiveness in a subset of ovarian cancers.

Project description:Patients diagnosed with pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHP Ia) suffer from hormonal resistance. This is often accompanied by abnormal postural and facial features, brachydactyly and dermal calcifications, a condition classified as Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) syndrome. Typically, this is the result of maternal inheritance of a mutation (or epigenetic defect) in the GNAS complex locus, encoding for the GTPase subunit Gsα. However, accurate diagnosis is often difficult. In blood platelets, Gsα couples to receptors for prostaglandin E1 and iloprost, and provides a master signal for platelet inhibition via adenylyl cyclase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). Here, we evaluated the iloprost-induced functional changes and phosphoproteome in platelets from eight patients with confirmed or suspected PHP Ia, one of the largest cohorts examined. Our aim was to asses how current proteomics techniques can help to find phosphorylation aberrations in these patients, and hence to improve future diagnosis Platelets from six out of eight patients (4 families), with confirmed GNAS mutations, displayed impairments in Gsα-dependent functional responses, i.e. VASP phosphorylation, aggregation, and microfluidic thrombus formation. Detailed analysis of platelet phosphoproteome revealed a consistent set of 2,516 protein phosphorylation sites, of which 453 were recognised as regulated by iloprost-Gsα, and 263 were upregulated. In five patients with AHO, we detected impairments in the iloprost-induced platelet phosphoproteome that were linked to a dysregulated platelet inhibition. The changes in these patients concerned: (i) both upregulated and downregulated phosphopeptides; (ii) a high Gsα and PKA dependency of the upregulated phosphopeptides; (iii) multiple phosphoproteins implicated in key platelet functions and biological pathways. Confirmation of these changes in iloprost-induced phosphoproteome was obtained using a panel of 14 targeted phosphopeptide assays. In contrast, or one patient with GNAS mutation diagnosed as non-AHO, we noticed reversed changes in the iloprost phosphoproteome. This combination of phosphoproteomic approaches can be a powerful tool to assist in future molecular diagnosis of patients with suspected PHP Ia.
