Project description:While growing in the human intestine, C. jejuni grows within the mucus layer. The largest constituents of this layer are the large mucin glycoproteins. A transcriptomic profile of C. jejuni NCTC11168 growing in a mucin-containing minimal medium seeks to describe the effect of the presence of mucin proteins on the transcriptome of C. jejuni. Microarray data was collected from three independent biological replicates and 9 technical replicates for each biological replicate.

Project description:Symbiotic interactions between humans and our communities of resident gut microbes (microbiota) play many roles in health and disease. Some gut bacteria utilize mucus as a nutrient source and can under certain conditions damage the protective barrier it forms, increasing disease susceptibility. We investigated how Ruminococcus torques—a known mucin-degrader that remains poorly studied despite its implication in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs)— degrades mucin glycoproteins or their component O-linked glycans to understand its effects on the availability of mucin-derived nutrients for other bacteria. We found that R. torques utilizes both mucin glycoproteins and released oligosaccharides from gastric and colonic mucins, degrading these substrates with a panoply of mostly constitutively expressed, secreted enzymes. Investigation of mucin oligosaccharide degradation by R. torques revealed strong fucosidase, sialidase and b1,4-galactosidase activities. There was a lack of detectable sulfatase and weak β1,3-galactosidase degradation, resulting in accumulation of glycans containing these structures on mucin polypeptides. While the Gram-negative symbiont, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron grows poorly on mucin glycoproteins, we demonstrate a clear ability of R. torques to liberate products from mucins, making them accessible to B. thetaiotaomicron. This work underscores the diversity of mucin-degrading mechanisms in different bacterial species and the probability that some species are contingent on others for the ability to more fully access mucin-derived nutrients. The ability of R. torques to directly degrade a variety of mucin and mucin glycan structures and unlock released glycans for other species suggests that it is a keystone mucin degrader, which may contribute to its association with IBD.

Project description:Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4), the main susceptibly gene for Alzheimer’s disease1–5, exerts cerebrovascular toxicity6 leading to blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown in humans7–9 and APOE4 transgenic mice10–13. Moreover, an early BBB dysfunction predicts cognitive decline in humans7. However, the comprehensive large-scale analysis of cell-specific mechanisms underlying APOE4 cerebrovascular disorder and how it relates to neuronal disorder is lacking. Using single-nucleus RNA-sequencing, phosphoproteome and proteome analysis14–17 here we show that APOE4 compared to APOE3 leads to early disruption of the BBB transcriptome in 2-3-month old APOE4 knock-in mice18 followed by dysregulation in protein signaling networks. This includes proteins regulating cell junctions, cytoskeleton, clathrin-mediated transport, and translation in brain endothelium, and transcription and RNA-splicing suggestive of DNA damage in pericytes. Changes in the BBB signaling mechanisms paralleled an early, progressive BBB breakdown and loss of pericytes starting at 2-3 months of age. The BBB breakdown preceded loss of neurites, post-synaptic interactome dysregulation, and behavioral deficits that developed 2-5 months later, and was associated with astrocyte and microglia response protecting BBB integrity. Thus, disruption of the BBB cell-specific signaling mechanisms could be an initial central contributor to APOE4-mediated neuronal disorder, and possibly a major target to correct APOE4-related cognitive deficits.

Project description:Mucin-domain glycoproteins are densely O-glycosylated and play critical roles in a host of biological functions. Previously, we developed a mucin-selective enrichment strategy by employing a catalytically inactive mucinase (StcE) conjugated to solid support. While this method was effective, it suffered from low throughput and high sample requirements. Further, we recently introduced a new mucinase (SmE) and demonstrated it has complementary recognition patterns to StcE. Here, we optimized our previous enrichment method to increase throughput and lower sample input amounts while maintaining mucin selectivity and enhancing glycopeptide signal. We also compare the ability of different mucinases, lectins, and mucin binding domains to enrich mucins from various cell lines and human serum. Overall, we demonstrate that our improved method StcE effectively isolates more mucin-domain glycoproteins, resulting in a high number of O-glycopeptides, which will allow for enhanced analysis of the mucinome.

Project description:Candida albicans is the most prevalent fungal pathogen of humans, causing a variety of diseases ranging from superficial mucosal infections to deep-seated systemic infections. Mucus, the gel that coats all wet epithelial surfaces, accommodates Candida albicans as part of the regular microbiome where C. albicans resides asymptomatically in healthy humans. Through a series of in vitro experiments combined with genome-wide transcriptional profiling, we show that mucin biopolymers, the main gel-forming constituents of mucus, induce a new oval-shaped morphology in C. albicans in which a range of genes related to adhesion, filamentation, and biofilm formation are down-regulated. We also show that corresponding phenotypes are suppressed, rendering Candida incapable of forming biofilms on a range of different synthetic surfaces and human epithelial cells. Our data suggests that mucins can manipulate Candida physiology and we hypothesize that they are key regulators for retaining Candida in the host-compatible, commensal state. 3 biological replicates grown in log phase in the presence and absence of mucin for 8 hours. Experiments were performed using RPMI 1640 (Gibco 31800-089) buffered with 165mM MOPS and supplemented with 0.2% NaHCO3 and 2% glucose with and without 0.5% mucin.

Project description:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is highly specialized to protect the brain from harmful circulating factors in the blood and maintain brain homeostasis. However, during aging and neurodegenerative disease, the BBB undergoes numerous molecular changes that can promote inflammation and disease pathogenesis. In this work, we profile the luminal (blood-facing) surface of the cerebral vasculature using sulfo-NHS-biotin to tag and enrich proteins from acutely isolate microvessedls from young (3-month-old) and aged (21-month-old) mice.

Project description:One pending issue in cardiovascular epigenetics is whether cerebrovascular events, a major complication of atherosclerosis, are associated with any specific DNA methylation changes in the carotid plaque. To clarify that topic, we profiled the DNA methylomes of human symptomatic carotid plaques (SCPs) obtained from patients who suffered cerebrovascular events (n=19) and asymptomatic counterparts (ACP; n=19) with a high-density microarray (~485,000 CpG sites, Illumina), and crossed DNA methylation data with RNAseq-based expression data from an independent SCP set (n=8). Few (30) CpGs showed a significant (p<0.05; absolute Delta-Beta>0.20) differential methylation between the two groups. Within SCPs, methylation correlated significantly with post-cerebrovascular event time (PCET; range: 3-45 days; r-value range -0.926 to 0.857; p<0.05) for ~45,000 CpGs, the vast majority of which became hypomethylated with increasing PCET. Hypomethylation was not due to erasure of the gene-body and CG-poor region hypermethylation that accompany the progression of stable lesions, but rather targeted promoters and CpG islands. Noticeably, promoter hypomethylation and increased expression were observed for genes involved in the inhibition of the inflammatory response, defence against oxidative stress and active DNA demethylation. Our data show that only weak changes in the DNA methylome distinguish symptomatic from asymptomatic carotid plaques, but a widespread demethylation resulting in permissive transcriptional marks at atheroprotective gene promoters is established in plaques after a cerebrovascular event, thus mirroring previous observations that ruptured plaques tend to revert to a more stable structure. The identified loci are candidate targets to accelerate the pace of carotid plaque stabilization. DNA was quantified by Quant-iT PicoGreen dsDNA Reagent (Invitrogen) and the integrity was analyzed in a 1.3% agarose gel. Bisulfite conversion of 600 ng of each sample was perform according to the manufacturer's recommendation for Illumina Infinium Assay. Effective bisulphite conversion was checked for three controls that were converted simultaneously with the samples. 4 ul of bisulfite converted DNA were used to hybridize on Infinium HumanMethylation 450 BeadChip, following Illumina Infinium HD Methylation protocol. Chip analysis was performed using Illumina HiScan SQ fluorescent scanner. The intensities of the images are extracted using GenomeStudio (2011.2) Methylation module (1.8.5) software. Methylation score of each CpG is represented as beta value.

Project description:Astrocytes, the most prominent glial cell type in the brain, send specialized processes called endfeet around blood vessels and express a large molecular repertoire regulating the cerebrovascular system physiology. One of the most striking properties of astrocyte endfeet is their enrichment in gap junction protein Connexin 43 and 30 (Cx43 and Cx30) allowing in particular for direct intercellular trafficking of ions and small signaling molecules through perivascular astroglial networks. In this study, we addressed the specific role of Cx30 at the gliovascular interface. Using an inactivation mouse model for Cx30 (Cx30M-NM-^T/M-NM-^T), we showed that absence of Cx30 does not affect blood-brain barrier (BBB) organization and permeability. However, it results in the cerebrovascular fraction, in a strong upregulation of Sgcg encoding g-Sarcoglycan (SG), a member of the Dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC) connecting cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. The same molecular event occurs in Cx30T5M/T5M mutated mice, where Cx30 channels are closed, demonstrating that Sgcg regulation relied on Cx30 channel functions. We further characterized the cerebrovascular Sarcoglycan complex (SGC) and showed the presence of M-NM-1-, M-NM-2-, M-NM-4-, M-NM-3-, M-NM-5- and M-NM-6- SG, as well as Sarcospan. Altogether, our results suggest that the Sarcoglycan complex is present in the cerebrovascular system, and that expression of one of its members, g-Sarcoglycan, depends on Cx30 channels. As described in skeletal muscles, the SGC may contribute to membrane stabilization and signal transduction in the cerebrovascular system, which may therefore be regulated by Cx30 channel-mediated functions. Comparison of 3-month-old Cx30 deleted mice against WT genetic background.
