Deorphanization of neuropeptide GPCRs in Nematostella vectensis

ABSTRACT: The aim of this part of the wider project is to identify neuropeptide precursors, investigate cleavage sites on neuropeptide precursors and predict mature peptides in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. This was done to create a synthetic library of N. vectensis neuropeptides which were then used to test neuropeptide receptor candidates for activation by the different peptides.

Mass spectrometry-driven discovery of neuropeptides mediating nictation behavior of nematodes

Project description:Very little is known about the genetic modulation of nictation, a host-finding strategy used by infective juveniles of many pathogenic nematodes, as well as a phoretic strategy of Caenorhabditis elegans dauers. We here use a mass spectrometry-driven approach to find neuropeptides involved in the modulation of this behavior. We identified 126 neuropeptides in infective juveniles of the commercially relevant entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae, 75 of which have orthologs in the model organism C. elegans. To prioritize candidates for causality testing in light of the stage-restricted nictation behavior, we developed quantitative peptidomic assays and carried out targeted proteomic measurements that allows comparing neuropeptide levels at different C. elegans life stages. Our results show that virtually all 164 quantified neuropeptides are more abundant in dauers compared to L3 juveniles. Even so, not all are relevant to nictation, and we identify the neuropeptide genes flp-7 and flp-11 as novel regulators of nictation.

Expression analysis of KHR and KR oral tumors with intact or deficient Notch1

Project description:KHR and KR tumors grow faster when deficient for Notch1. The hypothesis was to test for differences in gene expression between KHR and KHR oral tumors with intact or deficient Notch1 haplotypes. Total RNA was isolated for KHR (n=5), KHR-N+/- (n=4), KHR-N-/- (n=5), KR-N+/- (n=5), KR-N-/- (n=4) oral tumors. Expression profiling was performed using the Illumina MouseRef-8 v2 (GPL6885) array. Studies were conducted using tumors from C57BL/6 mice.

Identification of neuropeptides in the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish, Acanthaster planci

Project description:The Crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) Acanthaster planci feeds on hard corals and its outbreaks are a major cause of destruction of coral communities on the Australian Great Barrier Reef. Whilst population booms and the social behaviour of COTS have been well studied, little is known about the neural mechanisms underlying COTS metabolism and behaviour. One of the major classes of chemical messengers that regulate metabolic and behavioural processes in animals are neuropeptides. Here, we have analysed COTS genome and transcriptome sequence data to identify neuropeptide precursor proteins in this species. Mass spectrometry was employed to identify neuropeptides extracted from radial nerve cords. Forty-nine neuropeptide precursors were identified, including homologs of neuropeptide signaling systems that are evolutionarily conserved throughout the Bilateria.

Dynamics of venom composition across a complex life cycle

Project description:Nematostella vectensis is a venomous organism with a complex life cycle. We harness different approaches to study venom composition dynamics along its life cycle. Our methods include but not limited to transcriptomica and proteomics. Here we perform semi quantitative analysis of Nematostella proteom at 4 developmental stages to compare abundance of different toxins.

Global analysis of neuropeptides in cestodes identifies Attachin, a SIFamide homolog, as a stimulant of parasite motility and attachment

Project description:Many anthelmintics target the neuromuscular system, in particular by interfering with signalling mediated by classical neurotransmitters. Although peptidergic signalling has been proposed as a target of novel anthelmintics, current knowledge of the neuropeptide complement of many helminths is still limited, especially for parasitic flatworms (cestodes, trematodes and monogeneans). In this work, we have characterised the neuropeptide complement of the model cestode Hymenolepis microstoma. Peptidomic characterization of adults of H. microstoma validated many of the neuropeptide precursor (npp) genes previously predicted in silico, and identified novel neuropeptides that are conserved in parasitic flatworms. Most neuropeptides from parasitic flatworms lack significant similarity to those from other animals, confirming the uniqueness of their peptidergic signalling. Analysis of gene expression of ten npp genes by in situ hybridization confirmed that all of them are expressed in the nervous system and identified cryptic features, including the first evidence of dorsoventral asymmetry, as well as a new population of peripheral neurosecretory cells that appears to be conserved in the trematode Schistosoma mansoni. Finally, we characterised in greater detail Attachin, an experimentally validated SIFamide homolog. Although its expression is largely restricted to the longitudinal nerve cords and cerebral commissure in H. microstoma, it shows widespread expression in the larval nervous system of Echinococcus multilocularis and Mesocestoides corti. Exogenous addition of a peptide corresponding to the highly conserved C-terminus of Attachin stimulated motility and attachment of M. corti larvae. Altogether, this work provides a robust experimental foothold for the characterization of peptidergic signalling in parasitic flatworms.

Heterocellular OSM-OSMR signalling drives pancreatic tumour growth and metastasis through functional fibroblast reprogramming

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a lethal malignancy characterised by a pathologicalfibroinflammatorymicroenvironment. Dichotomous tumour-promoting and -restrictive roles have been ascribed to the tumour microenvironment, however thedisparate effect of individual stromal subsets remains incompletely characterised. Here, we describe how heterocellular OSM-OSMR signalling instructsfibroblast reprogramming,tumourgrowth and metastasis.Macrophage-secreted OSM stimulatesinflammatory gene expression in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which in turn induce a pro-tumorigenic environment and engage tumour cellsurvival and migratory signalling pathways. Tumour cells implanted in Osm-deficient (Osm-/-) mice display an epithelial-dominated morphology, reduced tumour growth and did notmetastasise. Moreover, the tumour microenvironment of Osm-/-animals exhibit increased abundance of αSMAposmyofibroblasts and a shift in myeloid and T cell phenotypes, consistent with a more immunogenic environment. Taken together, these data demonstrate how OSM-OSMR signalling coordinates heterocellular interactions to drive a pro-tumorigenic environment in PDA.

Neuropeptidomic Analysis of the Stick Insect, <i> Carausius morosus </i>

Project description:One of the most thoroughly studied insect species, with respect to locomotion behaviour, is the stick insect Carausius morosus. Although detailed information exists on premotor networks controlling walking, surprisingly little is known about neuropeptides, which are certainly involved in motor activity generation and modulation. So far, only few neuropeptides were identified from C. morosus or related stick insects. We performed a transcriptome analysis of the central nervous system to assemble and identify 65 neuropeptide and protein hormone precursors of C. morosus, including five novel putative neuropeptide precursors without clear homology to known neuropeptide precursors of other insects (Carausius neuropeptide-like precursor 1, HanSolin, PK-like1, PK-like2, RFLamide). Using Q Exactive Orbitrap and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, 277 peptides including 153 likely bioactive mature neuropeptides were confirmed. Peptidomics yielded a complete coverage for many of the neuropeptide propeptides and confirmed a surprisingly high number of heterozygous sequences. Few neuropeptide precursors commonly occurring in insects, including those of insect kinins and sulfakinins, could neither be found in the transcriptome data nor did peptidomics support their presence. The results of our study represent one of the most comprehensive peptidomic analyses on insects and provide the necessary input for subsequent experiments revealing neuropeptide function in greater detail.
