Project description:The availability of human genome sequence has transformed biomedical research over the past decade. However, an equivalent map for the human proteome with direct measurements of proteins and peptides was lacking. To this end, Akhilesh Pandey's lab reported a draft map of the human proteome based on high resolution Fourier transform mass spectrometry-based proteomics technology, which included an in-depth proteomic profiling of 30 histologically normal human samples including 17 adult tissues, 7 fetal tissues and 6 purified primary hematopoietic cells ( http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature13302 ). The profiling resulted in identification of proteins encoded by greater than 17,000 genes accounting for ~84% of the total annotated protein-coding genes in humans. This large human proteome catalog (available as an interactive web-based resource at http://www.humanproteomemap.org) complements available human genome and transcriptome data to accelerate biomedical research in health and disease. Pandey's lab and collaborators request that those considering use of this primary dataset for commercial purposes contact pandey@jhmi.edu.

Project description:Recent exposure to seasonal coronaviruses (sCoVs) may stimulate cross-reactive antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2. Previous studies have shown divergent results regarding protective or damaging immunity induced by prior exposure to sCoVs. It is still unknown whether pre-existing humoral immunity may play a role in the vaccine-induced neutralization and antibody responses. In this study, we collected 36 paired sera in healthy volunteers before and after immunization with inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, and analyzed the distribution and intensity of pre-existing antibody responses at the epitope level before vaccine immunization, as well as the relationship between pre-existing sCoVs immunity and vaccine-induced neutralization.

Project description:we used RNA-Seq to quantify the RNA editing level at more than 8,000 previously annotated exonic A-to-I RNA editing sites in two brain regions - prefrontal cortex and cerebellum - of humans, chimpanzees and rhesus macaques. We observed substantial conservation of RNA editing levels between the brain regions, as well as among the three primate species. Evolutionary changes in RNA editing were nonetheless evident among the species. Across lifespan, we observed an increase of the RNA editing level with advanced age in both brain regions of all three primate species. poly(A) enriched RNAs extracted from pooled samples of two brain regions: CBC and PFC of chimpanzee and macaque, fragmented, revers transcribed to double-stranded cDNA using random hexamers. Sequencing libraries were prepared according to the paired-end non-strand-specific sample preparation protocol of Illumina. Each sample was sequenced in a separate lane in the Illumina Genome Analyzer II system, using the 75-bp paired-end sequencing protocol. human data was downloaded from SRA [SRP005169]

Project description:In skeletal myogenesis, the transcription factor MyoD activates distinct transcriptional programs in progenitors compared to terminally differentiated cells. Using ChIP-seq and gene expression analyses, we show that in primary myoblasts, Snail-HDAC1/2 repressive complex bind and exclude MyoD from its targets. Notably, Snail binds E-box motifs that are G/C-rich in their central dinucleotides, and such sites are almost exclusively associated with genes expressed during differentiation. By contrast, Snail does not bind the A/T-rich E-boxes associated with MyoD targets in myoblasts. Thus, Snai1-HDAC1/2 prevents MyoD occupancy on differentiation-specific regulatory elements and the change from Snail- to MyoD-binding often results in enhancer switching during differentiation. Furthermore, we show that a regulatory network involving Myogenic Regulatory Factors (MRFs), Snail/2, miR-30a and miR-206 acts as a molecular switch that controls entry into myogenic differentiation. Together, these results reveal a regulatory paradigm that directs distinct gene expression programs in progenitors versus terminally differentiated cells.

Project description:A small fragment from maize chromosome 3 was created by irradiation by Stadler and Roman and named Duplication 3a (or Dp3a). This small chromosome does not contain any detectable CentC and CRM sequences, but when molecular features of functional centromeres such as CENH3 and CENP-C were examined, they were present. Immunolocalization analysis of phosphorylation of Ser-10 of histone H3 levels on Dp3a shows a pattern typical of a functional centromere. Meiotic analysis revealed that sister chromatids divided equationally at meiosis I as do all small chromosomes examined to date in maize. To examine the sequences associated with CENH3, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was carried out with anti-CENH3 antibodies using material from young seedlings with and without Dp3 chromosome as the tissue source. The ChIPed DNA sample was then labeled for FISH detection and prepared for Illumina sequencing.The ChIP-Seq reads were mapped to the B73 reference genome and a significant peak was detected in the Dp3a sample that span 350 kb of the long arm of chromosome 3, which is the candidate region for association with CENH3. ChIP-bisulfite-seq results indicated that there is a slightly increased DNA methylation level after the centromere formation, approaching the level similar to normal centromere regions. Collectively, the results suggest the formation of a de novo centromere on this fragment that initially must have started at the time of X-irradiation release from the progenitor chromosome. These observations add further evidence for the epigenetic nature of centromere function in maize. ChIP-seq was carried out with anti-CENH3 antibodies using material from young seedlings with and without Dp3a chromosome. For Dp3a, some ChIPed DNA was treated with sodium bisulfite and prepared for Illumina sequencing to test its methylation level.

Project description:We identified a newly formed dicentric chromosome (sDic-15) in maize from intrachromosomal recombination and BFB cycles, in which only one centromere is active. The centromeres lost CentC sequences and dramatic reduced the CRM sequences, but when the molecular features of functional centromeres such as CENH3 was examined, they were present. Immunolocalization analysis of phosphorylation of H3T3, H3ser-10 and H2A levels on this new centromere shows a pattern typical of a functional centromere. Meiotic analysis revealed that this dicentric chromosome is table and transmit very well. To examine the new sequences associated with CENH3 in this centromere, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was carried out with anti-CENH3 antibodies and material from young seedlings with or without dicentric chromosome. We mapped the ChIP-Seq reads to the reference genome and found a 723kb region from the short arm of maize chromosome 9 involve the new centromere formation. This region is gene-poor and full of TEs, but genes in this region are transcribed. The original 723kb region shows a high DNA methylation level as native centromeres but had no significant change when it involved into new centromere formation. The reactivation of this newly formed centromere indicated that centromere reactivation may not dependent on the relatively intact DNA sequences or topology of original inactive centromere. ChIP-seq was carried out with anti-CENH3 antibodies using material from young seedlings with and without sDic-15 chromosome. For sDic-15, some ChIPed DNA was treated with sodium bisulfite and prepared for Illumina sequencing to test its methylation level.

Project description:Endostatin is a naturally occurring 183-amino acid proteolytic fragment of collagen XVIII that localizes in the basement membrane around blood vessels. The anti-tumor properties of this protein have been extensively described, demarcating endostatin as an endogenous inhibitor of angiogenesis. Further, it supresses many signaling cascades such as pro-inflammatory NF-κB, coagulation and adhesion cascades. Yamaguchi et al. reported that endostatin via its C-terminal domain (E4 peptide) has elicit anti-fibrosis effects. However, the zinc binding domain has been previously confined to the N terminus (endostatin mP1 peptide) and was critical to numerous functions of the molecule. The present study aimed to better understand the impact of oligomerization (Fc-Endostatin) as well as N- vs. C-terminal fragments of endostatin (mP1, CE4) on modulating radiation-induced lung fibrosis. Mice were treated with Fc-endostatin (Fc-Endo), N-terminus endostatin peptide (mP1) or C-terminus endostatin E4 peptide (CE4) combined with photon 20 Gy or carbon-ions 12.5 Gy whole thoracic irradiation

Project description:The ability of centromeres to alternate between active and inactive states indicates significant epigenetic elements controlling centromere assembly and centromere function. In maize (Zea mays), misdivision of the B chromosome centromere on a translocation with the short arm of chromosome 9 (TB-9Sb) can produce many variants with varying centromere sizes and centromeric DNA sequences. In derivatives of TB-9Sb, we found a de novo centromere on chromosome telo-3-3, which has no canonical centromeric repeat sequences. This centromere is derived from a 288-kb region on the short arm of chromosome 9, and is 19 megabases (Mb) removed from the translocation breakpoint of chromosome 9 in TB-9Sb. This centromere is much smaller than normal ones but can be maintained through meiosis. The functional B centromere in progenitor telo2-2 is deleted from telo3-3 but some B-repeat sequences remain. The de novo centromere of telo3-3 becomes inactive in three further derivatives with new centromeres being formed elsewhere on the chromosomes. One such de novo centromere contains only 200-kb CENH3 binding domain. This 200-kb centromere is located 3 Mb removed from the translocation breakpoint in a new location. The deleted B centromere in telo3-3 is activated in two derivatives. Our results suggest that de novo centromere formation is more common than previously thought and can persist on chromosomal fragments without a canonical centromere providing implications for karyotype evolution. ChIP-seq was carried out with anti-CENH3 antibodies using material from young leaves with control, telo3-3 and its derivate.

Project description:NBD treatment of animals: Sibling pairs of Ercc1-/delta mice housed in a single cage were treated with 8K-NBD or 8K-mNBD 10 mg/kg three times per week intraperitoneally by an investigator blinded as to the treatment group. Treatment began at 5 weeks of age before the animals were symptomatic and continued throughout their lifespan. Mice were euthanized via CO2 inhalation at 12 or 18-20 weeks of age and tissues isolated. 8K-NBD (KKKKKKKKGGTALDWSWLQTE) and inactive 8K-mutant NBD (8K-mNBD) (KKKKKKKKGGTALDASALQTE) were synthesized at the University of Pittsburgh Peptide facility. Peptides were dissolved in DMSO at 40uM and stored at -80 C until dilution in PBS directly before use.
