A systems approach delivers a functional 1 microRNA catalog and expanded targets for seizure suppression in temporal lobe epilepsy

ABSTRACT: Proteomic analysis Epilepsy was induced using perforant pathway stimulation (PPS) in rats as described (Norwood BA, et al. (2010) Classic hippocampal sclerosis and hippocampal-onset epilepsy produced by a single "cryptic" episode of focal hippocampal excitation in awake rats. J Comp 803 Neurol 518(16):3381-3407). Rats were killed under deep anesthesia (xylazine+ketamine) by transcardial perfusion with ice-cold 0.9 % NaCl solution at the following time points: 1 h, 24 h, 72 h, 10 d and 16 d after PPS (epileptogenesis); within 1 d of first spontaneous seizure (early epilepsy); 1 month after first spontaneous seizure (chronic epilepsy). Control rats were killed on day 17 after surgery (corresponding to day 10 after PPS). Hippocampi were removed and snap frozen at -80°C. Frozen rat hippocampi were resuspended in 200 ul lysis buffer (6M GdmCl, 10mM TCEP, Complete protease inhibitor cocktail, PhosSTOP inhibitor, 100 mM TEAB, benzonase) and dounced 30 times on ice. Samples were boiled for 5 min, sonicated on ice for 2min and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 3 min. The supernatant was added chloroacetamide to a final concentration of 20 mM followed by incubation in the dark for 30 min at room temperature (RT). Proteins were digested with LysC for 30 min at RT and then diluting 10x— using 100 mM TEAB followed by adding trypsin and incubating overnight at 37°C with shaking. LysC and trypsin were added in a LysC/trypsin:protein ratio of 1:100. Samples were centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 5 min and from the supernatant a volume corresponding to 50 ug peptide was transferred to a new eppendorff tube. Sets of 6 samples were labelled using the TMTsixplex isobaric label reagent. (ThermoFisher Scientific). The labeling reagent was prepared using the manufactures instructions to first equilibrate to RT, then dissolving the labeling reagent in 41 ul anhydrous acetonitrile. The labeling reagent was added to each sample and incubated for 1 hour at RT. The reaction was quenched by incubating with 0.76 M lysine for 15 min. A small amount was taken from each sample, mixed and tested by mass spectrometry for labeling efficiency and mixing ratio. Remaining samples were mixed in a 1:1 ratio. The Stage-tips for the high-pH reverse phase fractionation were prepared by placing first two C18 disks in a p200 pipette tip, then adding a slurry of C18 beads (ReproSil-Pur, 3 um) in methanol and adding one additional C18 disk in the top. The column was activated and equilibrated by washing one time in 150 ul buffer B (50% buffer A, 50% ACN) and then two times in 150 ul buffer A (20mM Ammonium hydroxide, pH 10). The labeled peptide sample was adjusted to pH 10 using buffer A and then loaded onto the activated and equilibrated stage-tip by spinning the sample through the column and collecting 26 the flow-through. The column was washed 2 times with 150 ul buffer 585 A and the washes were collected and combined with the flow-through. Next, peptides were eluted stepwise in 17 fractions by spinning 150 ul of buffer A containing increasing amounts of ACN for each step (3.5%, 4.5%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 10.5%, 11.5%, 13.5%, 15%, 16%, 17.5%, 18.5%, 19.5%, 21%, 27%, 50%, 80%) through the column. After collection, the liquid was evaporated completely in a Concentrator Plus (Eppendorf) and prepared for MS by resuspending in buffer A* (2% ACN, 0.1% TFA). Samples were analyzed using an Easy-nLC system coupled online to a Q Exactive HF mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific) equipped with a nanoelectrospray ion source (Proxeon/Thermo Scientific). The peptides were eluted into the mass spectrometer during a chromatographic separation from a fused silica column packed in-house with 3 um C18 beads (Reprosil, Dr. Maisch) using a 120 min gradient of buffer B (80% ACN, 0.5% acetic acid) with a flow rate of 250 nL/min. The Q Exactive HF was operated in positive ion mode with a top 12 data-dependent acquisition method where ions were fragmented by higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) using a normalized collisional energy (NCE)/ stepped NCE of 28 and 32. The resolution was set to 60,000 (at 400m/z), with a scan range of 300-1700 m/z and an AGC target of 3e6 for the MS survey. MS/MS was performed at a scan range of 100 - 2000 m/z using a resolution of 30,000 (at 400 m/z), an AGC target of 1e5, an intensity threshold of 1e5 and an isolation window of 1.2 m/z. Further parameters included an exclusion time of 45 sec and a maximum injection time for survey and MS/MS of 15 ms and 45 ms respectively.

Project description:Female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly separated into two groups: i) trained (Ex group) and ii) sedentary (Cont group). Animals from the Ex group were adapted to treadmill exercise for two consecutive weeks, involving a gradual increase in the running time till 60 min/day at 20 m/min, 0% grade, 5 days/week. This exercise program remained constant until the end of the 54 weeks. Mitochondria isolation from 10 animals (5 Ex group and 5 Cont group) was performed using the conventional methods of differential centrifugation. Mitochondrial protein extracts were reduced with dithiothreitol, alkylated with iodoacetamide and digested with trypsin using the FASP procedure (18). Briefly, each sample was solubilized in 4 % SDS, 0.1 M DTT, 0.1 M HEPES and incubated for 30 min at 60 C. Then, samples were mixed with 0.2 mL of a solution of 8 M Urea, 0.1 M HEPES, pH 8.5 (UH solution), loaded into the filtration devices (3k Microcon, Millipore), centrifuged at 14,000 g for 20 min, and washed twice with UH solution. After centrifugation, the concentrates were alkylated with 50 mM iodoacetamide in UH solution (dark, 25 C, 20 min), and washed twice with UH solution. The concentrate was diluted with 0.1 mL of 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate (ABC) and digested overnight (37 C) with the addition of 2 ug of trypsin diluted in 30 uL of 50 mM ABC. The resulting tryptic peptides were collected by centrifugation and the filter were washed twice with 50 uL of 50 mM ABC. Eluted peptides were acidified with 10 uL of formic acid and cleaned up on a homemade Empore C18 column (3M, St. Paul, MN, USA) (ref) for subsequent phospho-enrichment and/or analysis by LC-MS/MS. The dried protein digest was dissolved with 10 uL (3 % ACN, 0.1 % TFA), diluted 1:5 with loading buffer (1 M glycolic acid, 5 % TFA, 80 % ACN) and phosphopeptides were enriched on TiO2-beads as previously described (19). Briefly 5 mg of "Titansphere TiO2 5 um" were suspended in 100 uL of 100 % ACN, immobilized in a pipette-column and washed using 5 uL of loading buffer. Each sample was loaded in each pipette-column and then washed with 30 uL of washing buffer (1 % TFA, 80 % ACN). Phosphopeptides were eluted from the beads with 25 uL of 25 % ACN (v/v) containing 25 % NH4OH (m/v), acidified with 10 uL of 10 % TFA and vacuum- concentrated to approximately 4 uL. Samples were finally diluted to 10 uL with H2O + 0.1% formic acid prior to injection. The peptides mixtures were analyzed by online nanoflow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) on an EASY-nLC system (Proxeon Biosystems, Odense, Denmark) connected to the LTQ Orbitrap Velos instrument (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany) through a nanoelectrospray ion source. Six microliters of the peptide mixture were auto-sampled directly onto the analytical HPLC column (120 mm x75 um I.D., 3 um particle size (Nikkyo Technos Co., Ltd.) with a 120-min gradient from 5 % to 50 % ACN in 0.1 % FA. The effluent from the HPLC column was directly electrosprayed into the mass spectrometer. The LTQ Orbitrap Velos instrument was operated in data-dependent acquisition mode to automatically switch between full scan MS and MS/MS acquisition. The MS survey scan was performed in the FT cell recording a window between 350 and 2000 m/z. The resolution was set to 60 000, and the automatic gain control was set to 1,000,000 ions with a maximal acquisition time of 400 ms. The 20 most intense peptide ions with charge states great than or equal to 2 were sequentially isolated to a target value of 5,000 and fragmented in the high-pressure linear ion trap by low-energy CID with normalized collision energy of 35% Q value of 0.25, and an activation time of 10 ms. Raw files were processed using Proteome Discoverer version 1.3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen). Peak lists were searched using Mascot software version 2.3 (Matrix Science, UK) against a SwissProt database containing entries corresponding to Rattus norvegicus (version of July 2012), a list of common contaminants, and all the corresponding decoy entries. Trypsin was chosen as enzyme and a maximum of two miscleavages were allowed. Carbamidomethylation (C) was set as a fixed modification, whereas oxidation (M) and phosphorylation (STY) were used as variable modifications. Searches were performed using a peptide tolerance of 7 ppm, a product ion tolerance of 0.5 Da. Resulting data files were filtered for FDR less than 1 % at peptide level.

Project description:MicroPoly(A)Pure kits (Ambion) were used to prepare mRNA from P. salmonis-infected and control Atlantic salmon head kidney. Head kidney mRNA samples were prepared from pooled (n = 10) infected or control kidney. Approximately 200 ng of infected or control head kidney mRNA was used as template in aRNA synthesis reactions. Two infected head kidney samples were pooled to yield 8.9 ug of aRNA, and a single control head kidney sample contained 8.4 ug of aRNA. Infected and control head kidney aRNA samples were visualized on agarose gels to check quality and quantity (data not shown). Except for the amounts of aRNA and reverse transcription (RT) primer used, head kidney target labeling reactions and microarray hybridizations were identical. Head kidney target syntheses used 2 ug of aRNA and 2 ug of random primers (Roche). RT primers were mixed with aRNA samples, and nuclease-free H2O (Invitrogen) was added to make 10 ul total volume. Samples were incubated at 70 degrees C for 4 min, then placed on ice. RT reactions included 50 mM Tris HCl pH 8.3, 75 mM KCl, 3 mM MgCl2, 10 mM DTT, 0.5 mM each dATP, dCTP, and dGTP, 0.2 mM dTTP, 0.05 mM Cy3-dUTP or Cy5-dUTP (Amersham), 40U RNAguard ribonuclease inhibitor (Amersham), and 400U Superscript II Rnase H- reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen). RT reactions were incubated at 42 degrees C for 2.5 h, followed by addition of 0.025U RNase A (Sigma) and 1.5U RNase H (New England BioLabs) and incubation at 37 degrees C for 30 min. Labeled targets were cleaned using the Qiaquick PCR purification kit (Qiagen) and precipitated, with 300 mM sodium acetate, 1 ul of 20 ug/ul glycogen (Invitrogen), and 2.5 volumes of 100% ethanol, at -20 degrees C overnight. Each labeled target was recovered by centrifugation (14,000 rpm, 4 degrees C, 1 h), washed in 70% ethanol, air-dried, and resuspended in 60 ul of hybridization buffer: 50% deionized formamide, 5X SSC, 0.1% SDS, 5 ul of 5 ug/ul oligo dT (5’T18[Q-N]3’), 5 ul of 2 ug/ul BSA (Pierce), and 2 ul of 10 ug/ul sonicated human placental DNA (Sigma). Targets were incubated at 96 degrees C for 3 min, and then at 65 degrees C until applied to microarrays. Microarrays were prepared for hybridization by washing 2 X 5 min in 0.1% SDS, washing 5 X 1 min in MilliQ H2O, immersing 3 min in 95 degrees C MilliQ H2O, and drying by centrifugation (2000 rpm, 5 min, in 50 ml conical tube). Microarray hybridizations were run in the dark under HybriSlips hybridization covers (Grace Biolabs) in slide hybridization chambers (Corning) submerged in a 45 degrees C water bath for 16 h. Coverslips were floated off in 45 degrees C (1X SSC, 0.2% SDS), and arrays were washed 1 X 10 min in 45 degrees C (1X SSC, 0.2% SDS), 3 X 4 min in room temperature (0.1X SSC, 0.1% SDS), and 4 X 4 min in room temperature 0.1X SSC. Slides were dried by centrifugation as before. Fluorescent images of hybridized arrays were acquired immediately at 10 um resolution using ScanArray Express (PerkinElmer). The Cy3 and Cy5 cyanine fluors were excited at 543 nm and 633 nm respectively, and the same laser power (90%) and photomultiplier tube (PMT) settings were used for all slides in a study (PMT 75 Cy3, PMT 63 or 64 Cy5 for head kidney study). Fluorescent intensity data were extracted from TIF images using Imagene 5.5 software (Biodiscovery). Keywords: other

Project description:MicroPoly(A)Pure kits (Ambion) were used to prepare mRNA from P. salmonis-infected and control Atlantic salmon macrophages. Infected and control (24 h incubation) macrophage mRNA samples were subjected to two rounds of amplification using the MessageAmp aRNA kit (Ambion) and manufacturer's instructions. Approximately 400 ng of macrophage mRNA was used as template in the first round of amplification, yielding 8.1 ug of infected macrophage aRNA and 7.8 ug of control macrophage aRNA. Approximately 1 ug of first-round macrophage aRNA was used as template in the second round of amplification, yielding 81.2 ug of infected macrophage aRNA and 83.3 ug of control macrophage aRNA. Infected and control macrophage aRNA samples were visualized on agarose gels to check quality and quantity. Except for the amounts of aRNA and reverse transcription (RT) primer used, macrophage target labeling reactions and microarray hybridizations were identical. Macrophage target syntheses used 5 ug of second-round aRNA and 5 ug of random primers (Roche). RT primers were mixed with aRNA samples, and nuclease-free H2O (Invitrogen) was added to make 10 ul total volume. Samples were incubated at 70 degrees C 4 min, then placed on ice.

Project description:Ammonium hydroxide and pyrrolidine eluents were dried (SpeedVac) and reconstituted in 25 ul sample loading buffer (0.1% TFA/2% acetonitrile). Eluent from phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitation was dried and reconstituted in 35 ul of the loading buffer. An LTQ Orbitrap XL (ThermoFisher) in-line with a Paradigm MS2 HPLC (Michrom bioresources) was employed for acquiring high-resolution MS and MS/MS data. Ten microliters of the phospho-enriched peptides were loaded onto a sample trap (Captrap, Bruker-Michrom) in-line with a nano-capillary column (Picofrit, 75 um i.d.x 15 um tip, New Objective) packed in-house with 10 cm of MAGIC AQ C18 reverse phase material (Michrom Bioresource). Two different gradient programs, one each for MOAC and phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitation samples, were used for peptide elution. For MOAC samples, a gradient of 5-40% buffer B (95% acetonitrile/1% acetic acid) in 135 min and 5 min wash with 100% buffer B followed by 30 min of re-equilibration with buffer A (2% acetonitrile/1% acetic acid) was used. For phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitation samples, which were a much less complex mixture of peptides, 5-40% gradient with buffer B was achieved in 75 min followed by 5 min wash with buffer B and 30 min re-equilibration. Flow rate was ~0.3 ul/min. Peptides were directly introduced into the mass spectrometer using a nano-spray source. Orbitrap was set to collect 1 MS scan between 400-2000 m/z (resolution of 30,000 @ 400 m/z) in orbitrap followed by data dependent CID spectra on top 9 ions in LTQ (normalized collision energy ~35%). Dynamic exclusion was set to 2 MS/MS acquisitions followed by exclusion of the same precursor ion for 2 min. Maximum ion injection times were set to 300 ms for MS and 100 ms for MS/MS. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) was set to 1xe6 for MS and 5000 for MS/MS. Charge state screening was enabled to discard +1 and unassigned charge states. Technical duplicate data for each of the MOAC elutions (ammonium hydroxide and pyrrolidine) and triplicate data for the phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitation samples were acquired. RAW files were converted to mzXML using msconvert and searched against the Swissprot Human protein database (2013-Jan release) appended with common proteomics contaminants and reverse sequences as decoys. Searches were performed with X!Tandem (version 2010.10.01.1) using the k-score plugin. For all searches the following search parameters were used: Parent monoisotopic mass error of 50 ppm; fragment ion error of 0.8 Daltons; allowing for up to 2 missed tryptic cleavages. Variable modifications were oxidation of Methionine (+15.9949@M), carbamidomethylation of Cysteine (+57.0214@C), and phosphorylation of Serine, Threonine, and Tyrosine (+79.9663@[STY]). The search results were then post-processed using PeptideProphet and ProteinProphet.

Project description:Smart-seq3xpress was carefully optimized and >1,000 conditions were evaluated. This data submission is organized in 15 datasets that each contain fastq files, unmapped bam files, read count tables, UMI count tables and a barcode annotation file. The barcode_annotation.txt files contain the exact factors/variables tested. Below a short description of each set of experiments: K562_lowvolume: Evaluation of scaling volumes of Smart-seq3 (indicated volume refers to total volume in PCR), whether overlay was used and if cDNA was bead-cleaned or diluted prior to tagmentation. Cell input was K562 cells. The columns \\"treatment\\", \\"volume\\" and \\"VL\\" indicate the experimental parameters. HEK_lowvolume: Evaluation of scaling volumes of Smart-seq3 (indicated volume refers to total volume in PCR), whether overlay was used and if cDNA was bead-cleaned or diluted prior to tagmentation. Cell input was HEK293FT cells. The columns \\"treatment\\", \\"volume\\" and \\"VL\\" indicate the experimental parameters. overlays: Evaluation of the effect of various overlays when generating HEK293FT libraries in 1 uL total volume. The column \\"condition\\" indicates the applied overlay. tagmentations: Evaluation of input cDNA vs Tn5 amount during tagmentation. Purified cDNA from one 384-well plate was used as input into various conditions of tagmentations. The experiments contain evaluation of cDNA amount with fixed Tn5 amount or varying Tn5 amount while keeping the default volume (2 uL) of the tagmentation reaction or scaling the reaction volume. The column \\"condition\\" contains a string indicating reaction volume, cDNA input and Tn5 ATM enzyme amount. If no volume is indicated, reaction was performed in 2 uL.

The column \\"Tn5concentration\\" indicates the Tn5 reaction concentration at 2 uL reaction volume. cycles_cleanups: Optimization of Smart-seq3xpress (column \\"experiment\\" shows \\"direct_tag\\") in regards to clean-ups after cDNA synthesis (column \\"condition\\": noclean, Exo+FastAP, ExoSAP) and dilution volume (9 or 19 uL); PCR cycle numbers (column \\"pcr_input\\") and ATM Tn5 enzyme amount (column \\"ATM\\"). Cell input was HEK293FT cells. PreAmp_Polymerase: Evaluation of various PCR polymerases during initial cDNA amplification. The polymerases are indicated in column \\"polymerase\\". We also evaluated several TSO concentrations (concentration in RT is given) and fwd/rev PCR primers (concentration given in PCR reaction). Cell input was HEK293FT cells. TDE1: Large optimization of tagmentation conditions using the TDE1 Tn5 enzyme. We varied reactions by changing PCR polymerase (KAPA / SeqAmp), PCR extension time and the number of PCR cycles during cDNA amplification. During tagmentation, we varied the amount of TDE1 enzyme, the amount of DMF in the tagmentation reaction buffer and the presence of Tween-20 in the final post-tagmentation PCR. Cell input was HEK293FT cells. TSOs_RT_v1-7: Large scale evaluation of conditions relating to RT and PCR, with a focus on new template-switching oligo (TSO) designs. In total, >20,000 cells and >500 conditions are contained in these datasets. The barcode annotation file contains precise information on the reaction conditions of Lysis, RT, PCR as well as utilized TSO designs. Data was generated from HEK293FT cells and hPBMC (Lonza).

Project description:This series represents a group of five samples (from sigmoid colon biopsies of clinically normal Patients A-E) profiled by a publicly available cDNA-based platform (GPL284) and a commercial oligonucleotide-based platform (GPL91). Sample RNA extraction: Biopsies taken during endoscopic analysis were immediately snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and at no time prior to or during subsequent sample manipulation were the samples allowed to thaw. Standard laboratory procedures to eliminate the presence of RNases, including the use of RNase free plastic-ware, heat baked glassware, molecular biology grade chemicals and DEPC-treated solutions, were adopted. Frozen biopsies were crushed to a fine powder under liquid nitrogen using a manual crusher with a teflon head (Omnilab) and total RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturers protocol, with minor modifications that improved RNA yields and purity in our hands. In brief, crushed biopsy samples were lysed in an appropriate volume of Buffer RLT (typically 600 µL/20 mg tissue). To facilitate complete lysis, samples were allowed to stand at room temperature for 5-10 min before vortexing. The lysate was homogenized by addition to a QIA shredder column (Qiagen) and centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 2 min. The resulting supernatant was centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 3 min to pellet any cell debris. One volume of 70% ethanol was added to the cleared lysate, added to the RNeasy column and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 15 sec. Bound RNA was washed with the addition of RW1 buffer to the column and allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 min followed by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 15 sec. DNase 1 incubation mix (Stock: 273 kunits; RNase-free DNase Set, Qiagen) was added directly to the spin column membrane and digestion of any contaminating genomic DNA was carried out at room temperature for 30 min. The column was washed with RWI buffer and the DNase treatment step was repeated. The bound RNA was washed with RW1 buffer and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 15 sec three times, followed by two additional wash and centrifugation steps with RPE buffer. Finally, purified RNA was eluted off the column with RNase-free water. RNA concentration and purity was determined spectrophotometrically at A260/A280 and was determined to be intact as assessed by formaldehyde gel electrophoresis. The presence of genomic DNA contamination was assessed by PCR amplification of GAPDH using standard PCR conditions and the following primers: GAPDH_F2-5’- ACCCACTCCTCCACCTTTGAC-3’, GAPDH_R2- 5’-CTGTTGCTGTAGCCAAATTCGT-3’. RNA was re-treated with DNase if necessary. Upon confirming the quality of the RNA (intact and free of genomic DNA), 15 µg of total RNA from each of the five biological replicates was used for expression screening on either the Affymetrix or the clone-based filter platform.
