Project description:COVID-19 is the most impacting global pandemic of all times with over 600 million infected and 6.5 million deaths worldwide, in addition to an unprecedented economic impact. Despite the many advances in scientific knowledge about the disease, much remains to be clarified about the molecular alterations induced by SARS-COV-2 infection. For this reason, it is urgent to carry out studies that help to clarify the molecular changes after SARS-COV-2 infection. In this work, we show a hybrid proteomics and in silico interactomics strategy to establish a COVID-19 salivary protein profile. The differential proteome was narrowed down by PLS-DA tool and the enrichment analysis was performed with FunRich. In parallel OralInt was used to determine interspecies PPIs between humans and SARS-CoV-2. Five dysregulated biological processes were identified in COVID-19 proteome profile: Apoptosis, Energy Pathways, Immune Response, Protein Metabolism and Transport. Interactomics analysis allowed the identification of new PPIs between the virus and the host, representing molecular aspects that could be important to understand this disease.

Project description:The comprehension of the pathophysiological mechanisms, the identification of druggable targets, and putative biomarkers for aortic valve stenosis can be pursued through holistic approaches such as proteomics. However, tissue homogenisation and protein extraction are difficulted by tissue calcification. Reproducibility of proteome studies is key when minding clinical translation of the findings. Thus, we aimed to optimise a protocol for aortic valve homogenisation and protein extraction, and to develop a standard operating procedure (SOP), which can be used by researchers to maximise protein yield, while reducing inter-laboratory variability. We have compared the protein yield between conventional tissue grinding in nitrogen followed by homogenisation with a Potter apparatus, with a more advanced bead-beating system. Once confirmed the superiority of the latter, we further optimised it by testing the effect of beads size, the number of homogenisation cycles, tube capacity, lysis buffer/tissue mass ratio, and two different lysis buffers. Optimal protein extraction was achieved with 2.8 mm zirconium dioxide beads, in two homogenisation cycles, in the presence of 20 µL RIPA buffer/mg tissue, using 2-mL O-ring tubes. As a proof-of-concept of the usefulness of this SOP for proteomics, the AV proteome of men and women with aortic stenosis was characterised, resulting in the quantification of proteins across 6 orders of magnitude, and uncovering some putative proteins dysregulated by sex.

Project description:The inflammatory response after spinal cord injury (SCI) is an important contributor to secondary damage. Infiltrating macrophages can acquire a spectrum of activation states, however, the microenvironment at the SCI site favors macrophage polarization into a pro-inflammatory phenotype, which is one of the reasons why macrophage transplantation has failed. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of the macrophage secretome for SCI recovery. We investigated the effect of the secretome in vitro using peripheral and CNS-derived neurons and human neural stem cells. Moreover, we perform a pre-clinical trial using a SCI compression mice model and analyzed the recovery of motor, sensory and autonomic functions. Instead of transplanting the cells, we injected the paracrine factors and extracellular vesicles that they secrete, avoiding the loss of the phenotype of the transplanted cells due to local environmental cues. We demonstrated that different macrophage phenotypes have a distinct effect on neuronal growth and survival, namely, the alternative activation with IL-10 and TGF-β1 (M(IL-10+TGF-β1)) promotes significant axonal regeneration. We also observed that systemic injection of soluble factors and extracellular vesicles derived from M(IL-10+TGF-β1) macrophages promotes significant functional recovery after compressive SCI and leads to higher survival of spinal cord neurons. Additionally, the M(IL-10+TGF-β1) secretome supported the recovery of bladder function and decreased microglial activation, astrogliosis and fibrotic scar in the spinal cord. Proteomic analysis of the M(IL-10+TGF-β1)-derived secretome identified clusters of proteins involved in axon extension, dendritic spine maintenance, cell polarity establishment, and regulation of astrocytic activation. Overall, our results demonstrated that macrophages-derived soluble factors and extracellular vesicles might be a promising therapy for SCI with possible clinical applications.

Project description:This ArrayExpress record contains meta-data and results of quantitative analysis of cell lines from the NCI-60 panel using pressure cycling technology (PCT) and SWATH-mass spectrometry. Each cell line was analyzed in duplicate. Raw data files are available at the EMBL-EBI protemics data archive (PRIDE) at accession PXD003539 (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/archive/projects/PXD003539). Since the record here does not include the raw data files and hence there is no need to explicitly link individual replicate to a raw file, each sample is only listed once in the ArrayExpress samples table for clarity.

Project description:The global trend on (male)infertility is concerning and the unidentifiable causes in half of the cases demands a better understanding of the molecular, biochemical and metabolic mechanisms as well as the identification of external and internal factors operating behind it, that might help to explain this apparently unjustified infertility. This can only be achieved through a comprehensive analysis of the infertile men, in which external (lifestyle, occupational and environmental factors) and internal factors (psychological distress) should also be evaluated and considered, but also assessing sperm function beyond the routine seminal analysis. In this prospective cohort study, 79 sperm samples, from men who were male partners in couples seeking for infertility treatment, were collected at the Reproductive Medicine Unit (CHUC) from July 2018 to July 2022 and analyzed by SWATH-MS. Based on couples’ clinical data, seminal/hormonal analysis, and strict exclusion criteria, samples were categorized in the different groups, namely control (CTRL; 50 individuals), idiopathic infertile (ID; 19 patients) and unexplained infertile (UMI; 10 patients) men. In general, ID patients presented the worst sperm functional profile, while the UMI patients were observed to be similar to controls. These differences were also observed at the proteomics levels, which revealed 145 differentially expressed proteins (DEP) between the three groups, with more than 120 proteins being altered between ID and the other groups, and only 14 proteins were considered altered between CTRL and UMI.

Project description:Recent research has demonstrated that high temperatures during initial stages of conifer somatic embryogenesis can modulate the subsequent phases of the process, as well as the behaviour of the resulting plants ex vitro. In this sense, the development of high-throughput techniques has facilitated the study of the molecular response of plants to numerous stress factors. Proteomics offers a reliable image of the cell status and is known to be extremely susceptible to environmental temperature changes. As a result, in this study, the proteome of radiata pine somatic embryos was studies by LC-MS after the application of high temperatures during induction of embryonal masses (23 °C, 8 weeks, control, 40 °C, 4 h, 60 °C, 5 min). Then, the content of specific soluble sugars and sugar alcohols by HPLC was analysed. Results confirmed a decreased initiation rate of embryonal masses under high temperatures and a slight increase in the production of somatic embryos, as observed in previous studies. Besides, heat provoked a long-term readjustment of the protein synthesis machinery, by regulating translation and the composition of ribosomes. The levels of proteins related to methylation and posttranscriptional regulation mechanisms were also altered under high temperatures, coupled with higher contents of heat shock proteins and chaperones, transmembrane transport proteins, enzymes involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, specific compatible sugars (myo-inositol), and changes in the composition of cell-wall carbohydrates. These modifications occurred at the expense of the synthesis of molecules involved in oxidative stress responses, such as peroxidases, thiamine, phenolic compounds and some amino acids, by a decreased activity of the glycolytic pathway and reduced nitrogen assimilation.

Project description:Thyroid cancer is a common endocrine malignancy; however, its diagnosis is not straightforward. The current gold standard for diagnosing thyroid cancer is fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), but when cytological analysis does not provide viable results or samples belong to less defined categories of diagnosis, patients are often referred to diagnostic surgery. Given that not all these nodules require removal, nor all of them are malignant, patients would not necessarily require surgery had the initial FNAB diagnosis been more conclusive. There is therefore a lack of reliable and specific biomarkers for thyroid cancer malignancy, that can complement and improve the current diagnosing methods. “Omics” approaches have gained much attention in the last decade in the field of biomarker discovery for diagnostic and prognostic characterization of various pathophysiological conditions. In this project, proteomics and metabolomics approaches were applied to the same thyroid nodules from patients with benign and malignant lesions. Tissue analysis provided several interesting biomarkers by both proteomics and metabolomics. The combination of these results demonstrated the high energetic and biomass demand of cancer cells, as well as a biomarker panel including 2 free peptides and 2 proteins with high sensitivity and specificity. Together, these results have contributed to increasing the knowledge of thyroid cancer phenotype and corresponding biochemical profiles, as well as providing potential biomarkers for malignancy, and improving diagnostic methodologies.

Project description:The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is a key brain region involved in controlling working memory, executive function, and self-regulatory behaviours, and its malfunction is a hallmark of several neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. One of the main risk factors for the development of mental illness is chronic stress (CS). Despite some evidence pointing to possible excitation-inhibition (E/I) imbalances caused by CS, the precise mechanism by which CS triggers mPFC dysfunction is not fully understood. Here, using neuroproteomics analysis and whole-cell patch-clamp recordings, we investigated the functional changes in E/I ratio and synaptic drive onto pyramidal neurons and parvalbumin interneurons (PV) in the prelimbic (PL) and infralimbic (IL) cortices, following exposure to 21 days of chronic unpredictable stress. We demonstrate that CS impacts PL- versus IL-pyramidal neurons differently, driving a common decrease in E/I ratio without affecting PV interneurons. Our work brings insightful information and corroborates the hypothesis of stress-induced hypofunction of the mPFC.

Project description:Chronic stress is a major triggering factor for neuropsychiatric disorders including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a mental health condition characterized by motor stereotypies and striatal overactivation. However, the mechanisms at the cell- and microcircuit-level through which stress triggers motor symptoms is currently unknown. Here, we report that chronic stress (CS) in mice alters dorsomedial striatum (DMS) function, by affecting GABAergic interneuron populations and somatostatin-positive (SOM) interneurons in particular. Specifically, we show that CS impairs communication between SOM interneurons and medium spiny neurons, promoting striatal overactivation / disinhibition and increased motor output. Using probabilistic machine learning for analyzing animal behavior we further demonstrate that in vivo chemogenetic manipulation of SOM interneurons in DMS modulates motor phenotypes in stressed mice. Altogether, we propose a causal link between dysfunction of striatal SOM interneurons and motor symptoms in stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders.

Project description:Aging is a universal biological phenomenon linked to many diseases, such as cancer or neurodegeneration. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying aging, or how lifestyle interventions such as cognitive stimulation can ameliorate this process, are yet to be clarified. Here, we performed a multi-omic profiling, including RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, EM-seq, SWATH-MS and single cell Multiome scRNA and scATAC-seq, in the dorsal hippocampus of young and old mouse subjects which were subject to cognitive stimulation using the paradigm of environmental enrichment. In this study we were able to describe the epigenomic landscape of aging and cognitive stimulation.
