Project description:The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is a glutamate-activated cation channel critical to many processes in the brain. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) suggest that glutamatergic neurotransmission and NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic plasticity is important for body weight homeostasis1. Here, we report the engineering and preclinical development of a first-in-class bimodal molecule that integrates NMDA receptor antagonism with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonism to effectively reverse obesity, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia in rodent models of metabolic disease. We demonstrate that GLP-1-directed delivery of the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 affects NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic plasticity in the hypothalamus. Importantly, peptide-targeting of MK-801 specifically to GLP-1 receptor-expressing brain regions circumvent adverse physiological and behavioral effects associated with MK-801 monotherapy. In sum, our approach demonstrates the feasibility of cell specific ionotropic receptor-modulation via peptide targeting and highlights the therapeutic potential of unimolecular mixed GLP-1 receptor agonism and NMDA receptor antagonism for obesity treatment.

Project description:Vasculogenic therapies have been investigated for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) with very limited success in clinical trials. The isoform PP2A (protein phosphatase 2)/B55alpha inhibits the activity of the prolyl hydroxylase 2 (PHD2) and activates the hypoxia inducing factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha), playing a key role in in vessel remodeling. Thus, PP2A/B55alpha activators may have the potential to induce angiogenesis and arteriogenesis. Herein we investigated the pharmacological attributes of VCE-004.8 (Etrinabdione) and its effectiveness in a murine model of critical limb ischemia.

Project description:Spatial tissue proteomics combining microscopy-based cell phenotyping with ultrasensitive mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is an emerging and powerful concept for the study of cell function and heterogeneity in health and disease. However, optimized workflows that preserve morphological information for image-based phenotype discovery and maximize proteome coverage of few or even single cells from laser microdissected archival tissue, are currently lacking. Here, we report a robust and scalable workflow for the proteomic analysis of ultra-low input formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) material. Benchmarking in the murine liver resulted in up to 2,000 quantified proteins from single hepatocyte contours and nearly 5,000 proteins from 50-cell regions with high quantitative reproducibility. Applied to human tonsil, we profiled 146 microregions including spatially defined T and B lymphocyte niches and quantified cell-type specific markers, cytokines, immune cell regulators and transcription factors. These rich data also highlighted proteome dynamics in spatially defined zones of activated germinal centers, illuminating sites undergoing active B-cell proliferation and somatic hypermutation. Our results demonstrate the power of spatially-resolved proteomics for tissue phenotyping by integrating high-content imaging, laser microdissection, and ultrasensitive mass spectrometry. This approach has broad implications for a wide range of biomedical applications, including early disease profiling, drug target discovery and biomarker research.

Project description:In the yeast genera Saccharomycopsis and Ascoidea, nuclear genes use a non-standard genetic code in which CUG codons are translated as serine instead of leucine, due to the presence of a tRNA-Ser with the unusual anticodon CAG. However, some species in this ‘CUG-Ser2’ clade also contain an ancestral tRNA-Leu gene with the same anticodon. One of these species, Ascoidea asiatica, has been shown to have a stochastic proteome in which proteins contain approximately 50% Ser and 50% Leu at CUG codon sites, whereas previously examined Saccharomycopsis species translate CUG only as Ser. Here, we investigated the presence, conservation, and possible functionality of the tRNA-Leu(CAG) gene in the genus Saccharomycopsis. We analyzed the genomes of 33 strains, including almost all known species of Saccharomycopsis, and found that most of them contain both tRNA-Ser(CAG) and tRNA-Leu(CAG) genes. The tRNA-Leu(CAG) gene is evolving faster than tRNA-Ser(CAG) and it has been lost in two species, S. microspora and S. synnaedendra. We deleted the single tRNA-Leu(CAG) gene in S. capsularis and found that it is not essential. Bioinformatic analysis suggested that some CUG codon sites in Saccharomycopsis species may be translated as Leu, specifically in genes with functions in meiosis or sporulation, but mass spectrometry of sporulating S. capsularis and S. fermentans cultures showed only CUG-Ser translation. Cloverleaf structures of tRNA-Leu(CAG) from all Saccharomycopsis species contain mutations that are likely to make them non-functional in translation, but the evolutionary conservation of the gene leads us to propose that it has been retained for an unknown non-translational role.

Project description:Background & Aims Recent studies showed that patients suffering from lysosomal acid lipase-deficiency (LAL-D) benefit tremendously from enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), however, the outcomes on liver histology in treated patients were inconsistent. The promising results of the pan-PPAR agonist lanifibranor in alleviating liver inflammation in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis prompted us to investigate the effects of lanifibranor on liver pathology in LAL knockout (Lal-/-) mice. Methods Lal-/- mice were daily gavaged with lanifibranor or vehicle for 21 days. The effects of the treatment were assessed by measuring body and organ weights, plasma lipids and lipoproteins, as well as hematological parameters, followed by liver proteomics and metabolomics. Results Lanifibranor treatment slightly altered organ weights without affecting the total body weight of Lal-/- mice. We observed major changes in the proteome, with multiple proteins related to lipid metabolism, peroxisomal, and mitochondrial activities being upregulated and inflammation-related proteins being downregulated in the livers of treated mice. Hepatic lipid levels and histology remained unaltered, whereas plasma triglyceride and total cholesterol levels were decreased and the lipoprotein profile of lanifibranor-treated Lal-/- mice improved. Conclusions Lanifibranor treatment positively affected liver inflammation and lipoprotein homeostasis in Lal-/- mice. These findings support further evaluation of lanifibranor in combination with ERT for phenotype improvement in Lal-/- mice and a possible exploration avenue for the treatment of LAL-D in humans.

Project description:Single-cell proteomics by mass spectrometry (MS) is emerging as a powerful and unbiased method for the characterization of biological heterogeneity. So far, it has been limited to cultured cells, whereas an expansion of the method to complex tissues would greatly enhance biological insights. Here we describe single-cell Deep Visual Proteomics (scDVP), a technology that integrates high-content imaging, laser microdissection and multiplexed MS. scDVP resolves the context-dependent, spatial proteome of murine hepatocytes at a current depth of 1,700 proteins from a slice of a cell. Half of the proteome was differentially regulated in a spatial manner, with protein levels changing dramatically in proximity to the central vein. We applied machine learning to proteome classes and images, which subsequently inferred the spatial proteome from imaging data alone. scDVP is applicable to healthy and diseased tissues and complements other spatial proteomics or spatial omics technologies.

Project description:This study investigated the effect of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) on innate neuroinflammation and remyelination in lysolecithin (LPC) induced demyelination, a preclinical model for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In a first experiment (demyelination experiment), LPC was injected in the corpus callosum of 33 Lewis rats, inducing a demyelinated lesion, and rats were treated with either continuously-cycled VNS (cVNS) or one-minute per day VNS (1minVNS) or sham VNS, from two days before the injection until three days post-injection (dpi), when they were killed for immunohistochemistry and proteomics analysis. This timepoint corresponded with a demyelinated lesion and peak inflammation. In a second experiment (remyelination experiment), 13 rats were analogously treated with either cVNS or sham from two days before LPC injection until 11 dpi, when they were killed for tissue prelevation for immunohistochemistry and proteomics. This timepoints corresponded with partial remyelination of the lesion. For proteomics analysis, 20 rats were randomly selected, namely five cVNS and five sham rats of the demyelination experiment, and five cVNS and five sham rats of the remyelination experiment.

Project description:Deciphering the intricate tumor-immune interactions within the microenvironment is crucial for advancing cancer immunotherapy. Here, we developed a novel approach integrating highly multiplexed imaging, laser microdissection, and deep visual proteomics to spatially profile the proteomes of 21 distinct cell populations in human colorectal and tonsil cancers with high sensitivity. In colorectal tumors, we uncovered an immunosuppressive macrophage barrier impeding T cell infiltration and regionally altering lymphocyte proteomes. Spatial proteomic analysis revealed distinct functional states of T cells in different tumor compartments. In tonsil cancer, we identified significant tumor cell proteomic heterogeneity influenced by proximity to specific T cell subtypes. Tumor-infiltrating T cells exhibited metabolic adaptations and enhanced stress resilience, enabling migration into hypoxic regions. Our spatially-resolved, highly multiplexed strategy provides a powerful tool to decipher the complex cellular interplay within the tumor microenvironment, with implications for identifying new immunotherapy targets and signatures.

Project description:Ion mobility can add a dimension to LC-MS based shotgun proteomics which has the potential to boost proteome coverage, quantification accuracy and dynamic range. Required for this is suitable software that extracts the information contained in the four-dimensional (4D) data space spanned by m/z, retention time, ion mobility and signal intensity. Here we describe the ion mobility enhanced MaxQuant software, which utilizes the added data dimension. It offers an end to end computational workflow for the identification and quantification of peptides, proteins and posttranslational modification sites in LC-IMS-MS/MS shotgun proteomics data. We apply it to trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) coupled to a quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) analyzer. A highly parallelizable 4D feature detection algorithm extracts peaks which are assembled to isotope patterns. Masses are recalibrated with a non-linear m/z, retention time, ion mobility and signal intensity dependent model, based on peptides from the sample. A new matching between runs (MBR) algorithm that utilizes collisional cross section (CCS) values of MS1 features in the matching process significantly gains specificity from the extra dimension. Prerequisite for using CCS values in MBR is a relative alignment of the ion mobility values between the runs. The missing value problem in protein quantification over many samples is greatly reduced by CCS aware MBR.MS1 level label-free quantification is also implemented which proves to be highly precise and accurate on a benchmark dataset with known ground truth. MaxQuant for LC-IMS-MS/MS is part of the basic MaxQuant release and can be downloaded from http://maxquant.org.
