Project description:Paget disease of bone (PDB) is a chronic skeletal disorder with contemporary cases characterised by one or a few affected bones in individuals over 55 years of age. PDB-like changes have been noted in archaeological remains as old as Roman although accurate diagnoses and knowledge of the natural history of ancient forms of the disease are lacking. Previous macroscopic and radiographic analyses of six skeletons from a collection of 130 excavated at Norton Priory in Cheshire, UK, and dating to late Medieval times, noted unusually extensive pathological changes resembling PDB affecting up to 75% of individual skeletons. Here we report the prevalence of the disease in the collection is also remarkably high (at least 15.8% of the adult sample) with age-at-death estimations as low as 35 years. Despite these profound phenotypic differences paleoproteomic analyses identified SQSTM1/p62 (p62), a protein central to the pathological milieu of classical PDB, as one of the few non-collagenous human sequences preserved in skeletal samples, indicating that the disorder was likely an ancient precursor of contemporary PDB. Western blotting indicated abnormal migration of ancient p62 protein, with subsequent targeted proteomic analyses detecting more than 60% of the p62 primary sequence and directing sequencing analyses of ancient DNA that excluded contemporary PDB-associated SQSTM1 mutations. Together our observations indicate the ancient p62 protein is likely modified within its C-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain. Ancient miRNAs were also remarkably well preserved in an osteosarcoma from a skeleton with extensive disease, with miR-16 expression changes consistent with that reported in contemporary PDB-associated bone tumours. Our work demonstrates the potential of proteomics to inform diagnoses of ancient disease and supports the proposal that Medieval Norton Priory was a ‘hotspot’ for an ancient form of PDB, with unusual features presumably potentiated by as yet unidentified environmental or genetic factors.

Project description:Morphological identification of ancient bone is often problematic due to heavy fragmentation that generally influences zooarchaeological assemblages. Fish bones are more taphonomically sensitive than those of other vertebrates as they are typically smaller and less biomineralised. Thus, taxonomic identification based on the preservation of morphological features is often extremely limited and can reduce or eliminate the usefulness of an assemblage for inferring taxon information. Currently, one of the most time- and cost-efficient methods of achieving faunal identity from ancient bone is by the collagen fingerprinting technique known as ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry). ZooMS harnesses the potential of preserved collagen, which is the most dominant and time-stable protein in bone. In this research, ZooMS is applied to ancient Baltic region fish assemblages that are between 500 and 6000 years old in order to define species identity and construct assemblage compositions. Alongside inferences into environmental and biological shifts from the Neolithic era to present day in the Baltic region, we demonstrate for the first time the ability to distinguish between recently diverged members of the Salmo (salmon) and Scophthalmus (turbot) genera. ZooMS analysis highlights 7% of the collagen-containing assemblage as having been morphologically identified incorrectly and has facilitated taxonomic refinement of a further 28% of samples, including some of the morphologically indeterminate bone fragments. This research emphasises the great potential of ZooMS in identifying ichthyoarchaeological bone remains to species-level, and provides a case for the use of collagen fingerprinting in contributing to baseline fisheries and ecological data, to inform modern management.

Project description:Studies of ancient DNA have revolutionized our understanding of extinct organisms, but thus far the maximum estimated age of sequenced DNA is two million years. However, evidence for endogenous biomolecules, including proteins, lipids, and pigments have been found in much older fossils, dating to up to 195 million years. Amino acid sequence data consistent with ancient, endogenous biomolecules have been derived from specimens of the theropod Tyrannosaurus rex (MOR 1125) and the hadrosaur Brachylophosaurus canadensis (MOR 2598). Histochemical and immunological studies also identified a molecule consistent with DNA in these two ancient specimens, localized to a single point within preserved osteocytes. Here we report the sequencing and analysis of DNA extracted from osteocytes and blood vessels of T. rex and B. canadensis, liberated after demineralization of dense cortical bone. Usable sequence reads were obtained at a low recovery rate. After the removal of high-quality reads that mapped to the human genome, the remaining reads were highly fragmented, with similarities to multiple animal species including reptilian and avian genomes. Our findings support the hypothesis that DNA and histone signal from imaging, mass spectrometry, and DNA sequencing of dinosaur osteocytes are endogenously preserved biomolecules.

Project description:Peripheral Blood gene expression is widely used in the discovery of biomarkers and development of therapeutics. Recently, a spate of commercial blood collection and preservation systems have been introduced with proprietary variations that may differentially impact the transcriptomic profiles. Comparative analysis of these collection platforms will help optimize protocols to detect, identify, and reproducibly validate true biological variance among subjects. In the current study, we tested two recently introduced whole blood collection methods, RNAgard® and PAXgene™ RNA, in addition to the traditional method of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) separated from whole blood and preserved in Trizol reagent. Study results revealed striking differences in the transcriptomic profiles from the three different methods that imply ex vivo changes in gene expression occurred during the blood collection, preservation, and mRNA extraction processes. When comparing the ability of the three preservation methods to accurately capture individuals’ expression differences, RNAgard® outperformed PAXgene™ RNA, and both showed significantly better individual separation of transcriptomic profiles than PBMCs. Hence, our study recommends using a single blood collection platform, and strongly cautions against combining methods during the course of a defined study.
