Project description:Cellular senescence is a therapy endpoint in melanoma, and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) can affect tumor growth and microenvironment, influencing treatment outcomes. Metabolic interventions can modulate the SASP, and an enhanced mitochondrial energy metabolism supports resistance to therapy in melanoma. In a previous report we showed that in melanoma, senescence induced by the DNA methylating agent temozolomide, increases fusion proteins mitofusins 1 and 2. Silencing Mfn1 or Mfn2 expression reduced interleukin-6 secretion by senescent cells. Here we expanded these observations evaluating the secretome of senescent melanoma cells using shotgun proteomics, and explored the impact of silencing Mfn1 on the SASP. A significant increase in proteins reported to reduce the immune response towards the tumor was found in the media of senescent cells. The secretion of several of these immunomodulatory proteins was affected by Mfn1 silencing, among them was galectin-9. In agreement, tumors lacking mitofusin 1 responded better to treatment with the methylating agent dacarbazine, tumor size was reduced and a higher immune cell infiltration was detected in the tumor. Our results highlight mitochondrial dynamic proteins as potential pharmacological targets to modulate the SASP in the context of melanoma treatment.

Project description:Astrocytes negatively impact neuronal development in a range of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs), however how they do this, and if mechanisms are shared across multiple disorders, is not known. We developed an in vitro system to ask how astrocyte protein secretion and gene expression change in 3 genetic NDs. This identified disorder specific changes, as well as core proteins that are increased in release in all 3 NDs. ND astrocytes increase release of Igfbp2, and blocking Igfbp2 partially rescues the neurite outgrowth inhibitory effects of Rett Syndrome astrocytes. We identified that ND astrocytes upregulate release of Bmp6, which acts on astrocytes themselves and is upstream of astrocyte secretion changes in NDs. Blocking Bmp signaling in Fragile X Syndrome astrocytes reverses the inhibitory effects of FXS astrocytes on neuronal development. We provide a resource of astrocyte secreted proteins in health and NDs, as well as novel targets for intervention in diverse NDs.

Project description:Recent developments have broadened our perception of SARS-CoV-2, indicating its capability to affect the body systemically beyond its initial recognition as a mere respiratory pathogen. However, the pathways of its widespread are not well-understood. Employing a dual-modality approach, we integrated findings from a Murine Hepatitis Virus (MHV) infection model with corroborative clinical data to investigate the pervasive reach of Coronaviruses. The novel presence of viral particles within red blood cells (RBCs) was demonstrated via High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy, with computational modeling elucidating a potential heme-mediated viral entry mechanism via Spike protein affinity. Our data affirm viral localization in RBCs, suggesting heme moieties as facilitators for cellular invasion. Exacerbation of MHV pathology upon hemin administration, contrasted with chloroquine-mediated amelioration, underscoring a heme-centric pathway in disease progression. These observations extend the paradigm of Coronavirus pathogenicity to include hemoprotein interactions. This study casts new light on the systemic invasion capabilities of Coronaviruses, linking RBC hemoproteins with viral virulence. The modulation of disease severity through heme-interacting agents heralds a promising avenue for COVID-19 therapeutics. Our findings propose a paradigm shift in the treatment approach, leveraging the virus-heme interplay as a strategic hinge for intervention.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a rod-shaped Gram-negative bacterium. It is a leading cause of gastroenteritis and public health problem. In the environment, it interacts with protozoa, particular amoeba, however the interactions between Salmonella and these eukaryotic microbes have not been addressed in detail. We and others recently described that S. Typhimurium is able to survive in the model amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum requiring the Salmonella pathogenicity islands 1 and 2 (SPI-1 and SPI-2, respectively)-encoded type three secretion systems (T3SSs). In this work, we investigated the role of two particular effector proteins, SopB and SifA that are secreted by either one of the T3SSs. SopB and SifA are involved in the remodelling of the intracellular compartment that contains Salmonella (Salmonella-containing vacuole, SCV) in other cellular models. We combined genetic and proteomics analysis to investigate the roles of SopB and SifA during infections of D. discoideum. We identified over 1,000 proteins per sample performing proteomics on fractions enriched in SCVs from amoeba cells infected with wild-type, sopB or sifA S. Typhimurium. Among them, we observed several Rho GTPases, guanine nucleotide exchange factors and motor proteins. Finally, we decided to evaluate if the changes observed in the proteome from the SCV of wild-type and mutants affect the intracellular survival of S. Typhimurium. These finding suggest that Salmonella exploits this route to survive intracellularly, a process that requires SopB and/or SifA effectors. To our knowledge this is the first proteomic description of the Salmonella intracellular compartment in D. discoideum.

Project description:Salmonella infections are among the most common foodborne diseases worldwide. The Enteritidis and Dublin serovars of Salmonella enterica are closely related yet they differ significantly in pathogenicity and epidemiology. Enteritidis is a broad-host-range serovar that commonly causes gastroenteritis and infrequently causes invasive disease in humans. Dublin mainly colonizes cattle but upon infecting humans often results in invasive disease. The aim of this work was to elucidate the molecular factors responsible for the differential pathogenic behavior between both serovars. We performed a quantitative proteomic comparative analysis between one clinical isolate of each serovar grown in vitro under gut mimicking conditions (GMC). Compared to S. Enteritidis, the S. Dublin proteome was enriched in proteins linked to response to several stress conditions, such as those encountered during host infection, as well as to virulence. The S. Enteritidis proteome contained proteins related to central anaerobic metabolism pathways that were undetected in S. Dublin. Similar differences were also found at the transcriptional level, as mRNA levels correlated with proteomic results for 17 of the 20 genes tested in 4 natural isolates of each serovar grown in GMC. This work reveals proteomic differences between two Salmonella serovars with markedly different invasive and host-range characteristics, grown in an infection relevant condition, which were not evident in previous comparative genomic analyses.

Project description:The thymus is one of the most affected organs during malnutrition, exhibiting atrophy and thymocyte depletion, characteristics that are also observed in several infectious diseases. The detrimental effects of malnutrition on immune responses to pathogens have long been recognized and it is considered a main risk factor for various infectious diseases, including visceral leishmaniasis (VL). However, the thymus has been barely studied during malnutrition and Leishmania infantum infection association. Protein malnutrition modifies intrathymic communication in L. infantum infected BALB/c mice by altering the abundance of proteins secreted to the thymic interstitial fluid (IF). We identified and compared protein abundance in the thymic IF samples from BALB/c mice that were fed with control protein (14%, CP) or low protein (4%, LP) isocaloric diets, followed by infection with L. infantum. By means of a quantitative proteomics approach using iTRAQ we identified 280 proteins of which 81% were reported as secreted by exosomes and 42% were previously described as secreted by thymic epithelial cells. LP-infected (LPi) animals showed a significant decrease in exosomal proteins, suggesting that exosomal carrier system is dysregulated in malnourished animals. LPi mice also exhibited an increase in the relative abundance of proteins involved in lipid metabolism and tricarboxylic acid cycle, suggestive of a non-proliferative microenvironment. Accordingly, flow cytometry analysis revealed that protein malnutrition decreases the proliferation of single positive and double positive T cells. Proteins engaged in glycolysis, protein ubiquitination and mRNA processing were significantly decreased. In addition, a significant decrease in the abundance of galectin-1 and increase of plasminogen were observed in malnourished animals. Together, the reduced cortical area, decreased proliferation, increased abundance of lipid- and tricarboxylic acid cycle-related proteins, and altered abundance of galectin-1 and plasminogen indicate a dysfunctional thymic microenvironment, where T cell migration, proliferation and maturation are compromised, contributing for the thymic atrophy observed in malnourished animals. All these alterations affect the control of the local and systemic infection, resulting in an impaired response to L. infantum infection.

Project description:Gené organ (GO) is an exclusive apparatus of female ticks that secretes a protective wax coat onto the egg surface. This wax coat makes eggs more viable in the environment due to its waterproof, stickiness and antimicrobial proprieties. In this work, a combined transcriptomic and proteomic approach shows that GO is engaged in synthesis, modification and oxidation of lipid compounds, not solely secrets compounds uptaked from haemolymph onto the egg surface. GO were analysed at two distinct stages: (i) in the day haematophagy is concluded and ticks detach from host and (ii) during egg laying, precisely at the second day of oviposition. Data presented here show that before oviposition begins, GO undergoes a maturing process in order to be ready to play its role during oviposition. Before oviposition, GO content is directed to machineries of cell division, transcription and protein synthesis, including proteins participating in the cytoskeleton structure. Whereas during egg laying, the content of proteins related to secretion, transporting and metabolism of wax is overrepresented, though protein synthesis is also preserved. Since GO is a wax secretion organ, the work was focused on lipid metabolism, examining a full machinery to synthesize, modify and oxidize fatty acids. In addition, proteins involved on sterols modification, transport and degradation were addressed. Further than highlighting GO importance in tick reproduction physiology, data reveals molecules and pathways crucial to egg wax secretion, and consequently, its development in the environment. Tools targeting these molecules and pathways would impair egg development in environment, and so could be potential targets for novel tick control methods.

Project description:Species of the genus Paracoccidioides cause a systemic infection in human patients. Yeast cells of Paracoccidioides spp. produce melanin in the presence of L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and during infection, which may impact the pathogen survival into the host. To better understand the metabolic changes that occur in melanized Paracoccidioides spp. cells, a proteomic approach was performed to compare melanized and non-melanized Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii yeast cells. Melanization was conducted using L-dihydroxyphenylalanine as a precursor and quantitative proteomics was performed using reversed-phase chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry. When comparing melanized versus non-melanized cells, 999 and 577 differentially abundant proteins were identified for P. brasiliensis and P. lutzii, respectively. Functional enrichment and comparative analysis revealed 30 abundant biological processes in melanized P. brasiliensis and 18 in P. lutzii, while non-melanized cells from these species had 21 and 25 differentially abundant processes, respectively. Melanized cells presented abundance of other virulence-associated proteins, such as phospholipase, proteases, superoxide dismutase, heat-shock proteins, as well as proteins related to cell-wall remodeling and vesicular transport. The results suggest that L-dihydroxyphenilalanine increases virulence of Paracoccidioides spp. through a complex mechanism involving not only melanin, but other virulence factors as well.
