Project description:This study investigates the role of protein aggregation in bacterial dormancy in Escherichia coli (E. coli), with a focus on energy-related proteins. The research demonstrates how protein aggregation leads to ATP depletion and induces dormancy, with aggregates transitioning from liquid-like condensates to solid aggregates. The study shows that the dynamics of protein aggregation, particularly the solidification of aggregates, are key to the transition from the persister state to the viable-but-nonculturable (VBNC) state, impeding recovery. Chaperone DnaK is shown to play a central role in modulating aggregation and disaggregation. These findings offer insights into bacterial survival mechanisms, including chronic infections and antibiotic resistance, with implications for targeting dormant bacterial populations. Proteomics data supporting these conclusions are included for further exploration.

Project description:Background: Although the use of TNF inhibitors has fundamentally changed the way rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is treated, not all patients respond well. It is desirable to facilitate the identification of responding and non-responding patients prior to treatment, not only to avoid unnecessary treatment but also for financial reasons. In this work we have investigated the transcriptional profile of synovial tissue sampled from RA patients before anti-TNF treatment with the aim to identify biomarkers predictive of response. Methodology/Principal Findings: Synovial tissue samples were obtained by arthroscopy from 62 RA patients before the initiation of infliximab treatment. RNA was extracted and gene expression profiling was performed using an in-house spotted long oligonucleotide array covering 17972 unique genes. Tissue sections were also analyzed by immunohistochemistry to evaluate cell infiltrates. Response to infliximab treatment was assessed according to the EULAR response criteria. The presence of lymphocyte aggregates dominated the expression profiles and a significant overrepresentation of lymphocyte aggregates in good responding patients confounded the analyses. A statistical model was set up to control for the effect of aggregates, but no differences could be identified between responders and non-responders. Subsequently, the patients were split into lymphocyte aggregate positive- and negative patients. No statistically significant differences could be identified except for 38 transcripts associated with differences between good- and non-responders in aggregate positive patients. A profile was identified in these genes that indicated a higher level of metabolism in good responding patients, which indirectly can be connected to increased inflammation. Conclusions/Significance: It is pivotal to account for the presence of lymphoid aggregates when studying gene expression patterns in rheumatoid synovial tissue. In spite of our original hypothesis, the data do not support the notion that microarray analysis of synovial biopsy specimens can be used in the context of personalized medicine to identify non-responders to anti-TNF therapy before the initiation of treatment. All patients were hybridized in a dual channel reference design where the reference was always labeled with cy3 and the samples with cy5. In total, RNA was extracted from synovial biopsies of 62 patients. 18 patients were good responding, 30 moderate responding and 14 non-responding. Universal Human Reference RNA from Stratagene was used as reference. All samples were amplified with the RiboAmp II kit before labeling and hybridization.

Project description:Protein aggregates occur in all living cells due to misfolding of proteins. In bacteria, protein aggregation is associated with cellular inactivity, which is related to dormancy and tolerance to stressful conditions, including the exposure to antibiotics. In Escherichia coli, the membrane toxin TisB is an important factor for dormancy and antibiotic tolerance upon DNA damage mediated by the fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin. Here, we show that TisB provokes protein aggregation in response to ciprofloxacin. The stress response and TisB-dependent protein aggregates are analyzed by LC-MS.

Project description:A major problem in cancer research is the lack of a tractable model for delayed metastasis. Herein we show that cancer cells suppressed by SISgel, a gel-forming normal ECM material derived from Small Intestine Submucosa, in flank xenografts show properties of suppression and re-activation that are very similar to normal delayed metastasis and suggest they can serve as a novel model for developing therapeutics to target micrometastases or suppressed cancer cells. Co-injection with SISgel suppressed the malignant phenotype of highly invasive J82 and T24 bladder cancer cells and highly metastatic JB-V cells in flank xenografts. Cells could remain viable up to 120 days without forming tumors and appeared much more highly differentiated and less atypical than tumors from cells co-injected with Matrigel. In 40% of SISgel xenografts, growth resumed in the malignant phenotype after a period of suppression or dormancy for at least 30 days and was more likely with implantation of 3 million cells or more cells. Ordinary Type I collagen did not suppress malignant growth, and tumors developed about as well with collagen as with Matrigel. A clear signal in gene expression over different cell lines was not seen, but in contrast, Reverse Phase Protein Analysis of 250 proteins across 4 cell lines identified a clear signal at the protein level involving Integrin Linked Kinase (ILK) signaling that was confirmed by an ILK inhibitor. We suggest that cancer cells suppressed on SISgel could serve as a model for dormancy and re-awakening to develop therapeutic targets for micrometastases. Earlier we demonstrated that the phenotype of bladder cancer cells was radically different in 3-dimensional organotypic culture when grown on a normal extracellular matrix preparation (SISgel) as compared to that observed on a cancer-modulated permissive extracellular matrix preparation (Matrigel). SISgel is a gel-forming material derived from acellular small intestine submucosa, whereas Matrigel is a basement membrane preparation obtained from a mouse sarcoma. On Matrigel the bladder cancer cells recapitulated the phenotype reported for the original tumor; in sharp contrast, most of the malignant properties were lost when the cells were grown on SISgel. Cell lines derived from papillomas formed a layered structure reminiscent of normal urothelium, whereas cell lines derived from higher grade tumors formed a noninvasive layer of cells. These findings suggested that growth of cancer cells on normal ECM could provide a model to investigate the phenomenon of suppression of malignancy by normal ECM in metastasis and recurrence. In this study we explored whether the phenotypic suppression seen in organotypic culture of bladder cancer cells on SISgel also is observed in vivo. Positive findings support the use of SISgel as a model for investigations of the dormant or suppressed tumor cell phenotype and of mechanisms by which the normal ECM exerts an inhibitory influence on tumorigenesis and metastasis. The findings strongly suggest that interactions of cancer cells with normal ECM play an important role in recurrence and metastasis and further suggest that targeting suppressed cells could represent a heretofore unexploited point of vulnerability in cancer therapy.

Project description:Heart performance declines with age. Reduced protein quality control (PQC) due to decreased function of the ubiquitin/proteasome system (UPS), autophagy, and/or chaperone-mediated protein refolding is a likely contributor to age-associated cardiac performance decline. The transcription factor FOXO participates in the regulation of genes involved PQC and a host of other processes. Here, the effect of cardiac-restricted dFOXO overexpression was investigated in Drosophila, a genetically pliable and rapidly aging model. Modest dFOXO overexpression in the heart was protective, ameliorating functional decline with age. Increased expression of genes associated predominantly with UPS relative to other PQC components accompanied dFOXO-mediated cardioprotection, which was corroborated by a significant decrease in ubiquitinated myocardial proteins. In agreement, knockdown of upregulated UPS components seemingly induced premature aging. Despite these findings, excessive dFOXO overexpression or knockdown proved detrimental to heart function and overall organismal development. This study highlights Drosophila as a model of cardiac aging and FOXO as a tightly-regulated mediator of proteostasis and heart performance over time. Two replicates of 4 different samples were analyzed. Two of these samples were controls (GMH5 x yw 1 week and GMH5 x yw 5 week).

Project description:Lactate produced in glycolysis has recently been discovered to modify lysine residues on eukaryotic proteins, a post-translational modification (PTM) called lysine lactylation (Kla). This modification not only participates in regulating gene expression through lactylation of histones, but also impacts the function of non-histone proteins. However, lactylation in prokaryotes has not been reported. Here, we report the identification of 1869 lysine lactylation sites in 465 proteins in the cariogenic organism Streptococcus mutans using a newly developed 4-dimensional label-free quantitative proteomic approach, representing the first Kla dataset in prokaryotes. Combining quantitative analysis, we report that the modification levels of 282 sites from 124 proteins increased by over 1.5-fold, and 80 sites from 52 proteins decreased by over 0.67-fold in the biofilm growth state. These results provide a systematic perspective of the distribution and function of Kla and improve our understanding of the role of lactate in the metabolic regulation of prokaryotes.

Project description:Transcriptomic sequencing was performed to obtain the key functional genes involved in the adaptation of oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the Arctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. A2. Exposure to 1 mmol/L H2O2 resulted in large alterations of the transcriptome profile, including significant upregulation of 109 genes and significant downregulation of 174 genes. Functional classification of differentially expressed genes revealed that most of genes affiliated with biological adhesion, negative regulation of biological process, enzyme regulator activity, protein binding transcription factor activity and structural molecular activity were upregulated, and most of genes affiliated with multicellular organismal process and extracellular region were downregulated. It was notably that fifteen genes affiliated with flagella and four genes affiliated with heat shock proteins were significantly upregulated. Meanwhile, nine genes affiliated with cytochrome and cytochrome oxidase, and five genes affiliated with TonB-dependent receptor, were significantly downregulated. However, eighteen genes with antioxidant activity categorized by GO analysis showed differential expressions. This overall survey of transcriptome and oxidative stress-relevant genes can contribute to understand the adaptive mechanism of Arctic bacteria. five significant upregulated genes and five significant downregulated genes were selected using qRT-PCR to cinduct the oxidative stress. overall survey of transcriptomic sequencing by RNA-Seq of the Pseudoalteromonas sp.

Project description:Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection remains a huge global public health problem. One striking characteristic of Mtb is its ability to adapt to hypoxia, and thus ensuing transition to dormant state for persistent infection, but how the hypoxia responses of Mtb is regulated remains largely unknown. Here, we performed a quantitative acetylome analysis to compare the acetylation profile of Mtb under aeration and hypoxia, and showed that 377 acetylation sites in 269 proteins of Mtb were significantly change under hypoxia. Especially, deacetylation of Dormancy Survival Regulator (DosR) at K182 promoted the hypoxia response of Mtb and enhanced transcription of DosR-targeted genes. Mechanistically, recombinant DosRK182R protein demonstrated enhanced DNA-binding activity in comparison with DosRK182Q protein. Moreover, Rv0998 was identified as an acetyltransferase that mediates the acetylation of DosR at K182. Deletion of Rv0998 also promoted the adaption of Mtb to hypoxia and transcription of DosR-targeted genes. Mice infected with Mtb strain containing acetylation-defective DosRK182R or lacking Rv0998 had much lower bacterial counts, and less severe histopathological impairments compared with those infected with the wild-type strain. Our findings suggest that hypoxia induces the deacetylation of DosR, which in turn increases its DNA binding ability to promote the transcription of target genes, allowing Mtbto transit to dormancy under hypoxia.

Project description:Fructus Rosae Roxburghii (FRR) has been considered as edible and medicinal fruit possessing antiatherosclerotic effect, but the mechanism is still unclear. Hyperlipidemia (HLP) is material basis for atherosclerosis (AS) formation. Under FRR action, TC, TG, LDL, HDL and ASI in serum were regulated to control level. Differentially expressed proteins in liver were analyzed by using TMT labeling and LC-MS/MS for better understanding the effect and molecular mechanism of FRR on diet-induced hyperlipidemic mice. In total, 4460 proteins were quantified, of which 469 proteins showed dramatic changes between each group. According to molecular functions, 25 differentially co-expressed proteins were divided into five categories: substance metabolism, energy transformation and signal transduction, transcription and translation, immune defense. 15 key proteins involved lipids metabolism, which were identified as Cyp7a1, Cyp3a11, Tm7sf2, COAT2, CSAD, RBP3, Lpin1, Dhrs4, Aldh1b1, GK, Acot 4, TSC22D1, PGFS, EHs, GSTM1. Their altered expression suggested that FRR could maintain the metabolism homeostasis by regulating the metabolism of fatty acids, biosynthesis of BAs and steroids, and production of lipid peroxides (LPOs) in mice. It’s first time potential antiatherosclerotic mechanism of FRR regulating blood lipids was explored from protein level, which is of great significance to explore new drug targets for AS.
