Project description:he aim of the project is to characterize qualitatively and quantitatively the interaction of cystatin D in other protein partner and the formation of a complex in whole saliva of patients affected by different forms of systemic mastocytosis (SM), with and without skin involvement. The different composition of the complex could be useful to distinguish patients from healthy subject and the different forms of systemic mastocytosis. Pools of whole saliva from SM (SM-C and SM+C) patients, and from sex/age matched healthy controls were submitted to immunoprecipitation assay using cystatin D antibody followed by SDS-PAGE in reducing conditions, tryptic digestion, and nano-HPLC-high-resolution-MS/MS analysis.

Project description:Mastocytosis is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by infiltration of clonally derived mast cells in different tissues. According to mast cells localization, it is possible to discriminate cutaneous mastocytosis (CM) from systemic mastocytosis (SM), the latter involving at least an extracutaneous organ, like bone marrow, liver, spleen and gastrointestinal tract. Some of the SM patient can develop also cutaneous lesions (SM+C). Disease classification is often tricky. Oral cavity is commonly involved in the symptomatology. With the aim to highlight possible qualitative/quantitative modifications of the salivary proteome associated to the different forms of the disease, we investigated the protein profiles of CM, SM, and SM+C patients, and healthy controls, by integrated top-down platforms. a top-down proteomic platform, based on high performance liquid chromatography separation coupled to electrospray-ion trap mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-IT-MS) analysis of the acidic soluble proteome of human saliva, which was standardized in our previous studies for detecting and quantifying of hundreds salivary peptides/proteins. By this approach, it is possible to obtain a profiling of the naturally occurring salivary proteome, including isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs), to compare an unlimited number of samples and to quantify proteins aby a label-free method.

Project description:Human basic proline-rich proteins and basic glycosylated proline-rich proteins are the most complex family of human adult salivary proteins, secreted only by the parotid gland, expressed by the polymorphic PRB1-4 genes. This study reports the results obtained for their characterization in our laboratory utilizing integrated top-down and bottom-up HPLC-ESI-MS and MS/MS platform. The family include 11 parent peptides/proteins and more than 6 parent glycosylated proteins. Despite the complexity, on the basis of their primary structure they result the product of the duplication of three repeats and we propose that they can be classified in two main groups, the first including the peptides called P-E, P-Ko, IB-6, Ps-1, Ps-2, P-H, P-F, P-J, and P-D, the second including the peptides called IB-1, II-2 and the glycosylated basic proline-rich proteins codified by PRB3 and PRB4 genes. A third minor hybrid group includes the proteins called IB-8a Con1- and Con1+. Some of the proteins of the family (IB-1, II-2 and P-J) are almost always detectable in adult human saliva, while the others are expressed with different frequencies according to the phenotype. Various isoforms are detectable in the adult saliva and three of them, until now not reported (P-H S1→A, P-Ko P36→S, P-Ko A41→S), were characterized by MS/MS fragmentation.

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the elderly, characterized by the accumulation in the brain of misfolded proteins, inflammation, and oxidative damage leading to neuronal cell death. The necessity of searching for new non-invasive biomarkers in tissues or body fluids easy and painless to collect has been evidenced. In this context, saliva has been chosen to investigate new possible biomarkers using a proteomics-based approach. Previous results obtained on the acid-soluble fraction of saliva from AD patients by a Top-Down proteomic approach revealed the potential role of cystatin B in the disease, a protein capable of interacting with other proteins, including amyloid beta, and to homo-polymerize. Thus, the first aim of the present project has been to demonstrate the existence of a multiprotein complex with cystatin B in whole saliva samples and to characterize it, secondly, we further studied the cystatin B interactome to individuate any qualitative-quantitative difference between AD patients and healthy subjects age and sex matched. To these aims, we performed some preliminary tests mainly by western blot to look for high molecular weight positive signals related to cystatin B in saliva, and, then, in order to characterize the presence of potential multiprotein complexes, we performed Co-IP assays followed by in gel tryptic digestion and RP-nanoHPLC-HR-ESI-MS/MS analysis (reverse-phase nano-high-performance liquid chromatography separation coupled to electrospray-ion trap tandem mass spectrometry).

Project description:This is a pilot study. We are trying to detect potential salivary biomarkers in mice with a pancreatic tumor. Global gene expression profiling has shown great promise in high-throughput biomarker discovery for early disease detection in body fluids such as saliva, which is accessible, cost-effective, and non-invasive. However, this goal has not been fully realized because saliva, like many clinical samples, contains partially fragmented and degraded RNAs that are difficult to amplify and detect with prevailing technologies. Here, using nanogram scale salivary RNA as a proof-of-principle example, we describe our progress with a novel poly-A tail independent mRNA amplification strategy combined with the Affymetrix GeneChip Exon arrays. We defined a Salivary Exon Core Transcriptome (SECT) with highly similar expression profiles in healthy individuals verified by quantitative PCR. Informatics analysis of SECT provided important mechanistic insight to their potential origin and function. Finally we demonstrated the diagnostic potential of true exon level expression profiling approach with salivary exon biomarkers that accurately discriminated gender in healthy individuals. Recent studies have demonstrated that discriminatory salivary biomarkers can be readily detected upon the development of systemic diseases such as pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer and ovarian cancer. However, the utility of salivary biomarkers for the detection of systemic diseases has been undermined due to the absence of biological and mechanistic rationale why distal diseases from the oral cavity would lead to the development of discriminatory biomarkers in saliva. Here, we examine the hypothesis that pancreatic tumor-derived exosomes are mechanistically involved in the development of pancreatic cancer-discriminatory salivary transcriptomic biomarkers. We first developed a pancreatic cancer mouse model that yielded discriminatory salivary biomarkers by implanting the mouse pancreatic cancer cell line Pan02 into the pancreas of the syngeneic host C57BL/6. The role of pancreatic cancer-derived exosomes in the development of discriminatory salivary biomarkers was then tested by engineered a Pan02 cell line that is suppressed for exosome biogenesis, implanted into the C56BL/6 mouse and examine if the discriminatory salivary biomarker profile was ablated or disrupted. Suppression of exosome biogenesis results in the ablation of discriminatory salivary biomarker development. This study supports that tumor-derived exosomes provide a mechanism in the development of discriminatory biomarkers in saliva and distal systemic diseases. We analyzed saliva from 6 healthy mice and 6 mice with a pancreatic tumor using the Affymetrix Mouse Exon Genome 430 2.0 platform. Array data was processed by dChip. No techinical replicates were performed.

Project description:Whole saliva is contains major, minor and gingival crevicular fluid/secretions and it plays vital role in maintaining the oral health, three pair of major salivary glands consist of parotid, submandibular and sub-lingual glands. Saliva is a good biological fluid to explore health and disease status of human. Further, the saliva secrets from major salivary glands and have various biomolecules such as, proteins, enzymes and ions originated from serum and saliva is easily accessible through a safe and noninvasive method. In contrast, the concentrations of biomolecules in saliva are generally one tenth to one thousand of the levels in blood. Ovulation is an exclusive process through the mature (pre-ovulatory) ovarian follicles reacts to the surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) and burst to discharge fertilizable oocytes. The LH surge initiates a flow of proteolytic actions with the aim of control ovulation. Presently, many salivary proteins are have been showed as a biomarker such as Sjogren’s syndrome, Lung cancer, oral and Systemic diseases, HIV-seropositive patients, dental pellicle development, and hyperglycemia. However, there is no prominent marker protein was reported for monitoring ovulation process in human saliva. It is important prediction of fertile period in women for various applications like assisted reproduction and invitro fertilization.

Project description:Ticks are obligate blood feeding ectoparasites that transmit a wide variety of pathogenic organisms to their vertebrate hosts. The tick Amblyomma sculptum is vector of Rickettsia rickettsii, the causative agent of Rock Mountain spotted fever, the most lethal rickettsiosis that affects humans. It is known that the transmission of pathogens by ticks is mainly associated with the physiology of the feeding process. Pathogens that are acquired with the blood meal must first colonize the tick gut and later the salivary glands (SG). Then, to be transmitted during a subsequent blood feeding, pathogens must reach the saliva. Tick saliva contains a complex mixture of bioactive molecules with anti-clotting, anti-platelet aggregation, vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties to counteract both the host hemostasis and defense mechanisms, which besides facilitating tick feeding, may also benefits survival and establishment of pathogens in the host. In the current study, we compared the sialotranscriptome of unfed A. sculptum ticks and fed for 72 hours on rabbits using RNA-seq. The total of reads obtained were mapped in 9,560 coding sequences (CDSs) distributed in six major functional classes. Genes encoding secreted proteins, including lipocalins, mucins, protease inhibitors, glycine rich, metalloprotease, and 8.9 kDa superfamily were mostly upregulated by blood feeding. Selected genes were analyzed by RT-qPCR and all of them presented the same transcriptional profile regulation observed in RNA-seq, corroborating the transcriptional findings of this study. Finally, we mapped 116 proteins secreted in tick saliva by mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis. Identified proteins should be functionally characterized and might be potential targets to develop vaccines for tick control and/or blocking of R. rickettsii transmission as well as pharmacological bioproducts with anti-hemostatic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial activities.

Project description:Predatory bugs capture prey by injecting venom from their salivary glands using specialized stylets. Understanding venom function has been impeded by a scarcity of knowledge of their venom composition. We therefore examined the proteinaceous components of the salivary venom of the predatory stink bug Arma chinensis (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). Using gland extracts and venoms from 5th-instar nymphs or adult females, we performed shotgun proteomics combined with venom gland transcriptomics. We found that the venom of A. chinensis comprised a complex suite of over a hundred individual proteins, including oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, ligases, protease inhibitors, and recognition, transport and binding proteins. Besides the uncharacterized proteins, hydrolases such as venom serine proteases, cathepsins, phospholipase A2, phosphatases, nucleases, alpha-amylases, and chitinases constitute the most abundant protein families. However, salivary proteins shared by and unique to other predatory heteropterans were not detected in A. chinensis venom. Injection of the proteinaceous (> 3 kDa) venom fraction of A. chinensis gland extracts or venom into its prey, the larvae of the Oriental armyworm Mythimna separata (Walker, 1865), revealed insecticidal activity against lepidopterans. Our data expands the knowledge of heteropteran salivary proteins and suggests predatory asopine bugs as a novel source for bioinsecticides.

Project description:Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) and Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) are autoimmune diseases that target the liver in which the immune system produces an inappropriate response to self-antigens resulting in inflammation, damage, and dysfunction of hepatic tissues. Despite progress in the understanding of the etiopathogenesis and in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of these diseases, critical issues remain concerning the early diagnosis of affected individuals. The present study aims to detect and characterize by a gel-based bottom-up proteomic approach the acid-insoluble fraction of salivary proteome from patients affected by AIH and PBC with respect to healthy controls (HCs). The study was performed on the salivary acid-insoluble proteins after in-gel digestion starting from: i) the entire SDS-PAGE lane; ii) a portion of the SDS-PAGE at lowest molecular weight (MW </= 25 kDa).
