Project description:Spaceflight induces hepatic damage, partially owing to oxidative stress caused by the space environment such as microgravity and space radiation. We examined the roles of anti-oxidative sulfur-containing compounds on hepatic damage after spaceflight. We analyzed the livers of mice on board the International Space Station for 30 days. During spaceflight, half of the mice were exposed to artificial earth gravity (1 g) using centrifugation cages. Sulfur-metabolomics of the livers of mice after spaceflight revealed a decrease in sulfur antioxidants (ergothioneine, glutathione, cysteine, taurine, thiamine, etc.) and their intermediates (cysteine sulfonic acid, hercynine, N-acethylserine, serine, etc.) compared to the controls on the ground. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing showed upregulation of gene sets related to oxidative stress and sulfur metabolism, and downregulation of gene sets related to glutathione reducibility in the livers of mice after spaceflight, compared to controls on the ground. These changes were partially mitigated by exposure to 1 g centrifugation. For the first time, we observed a decrease in sulfur antioxidants based on a comprehensive analysis of the livers of mice after spaceflight. Our data suggest that a decrease in sulfur-containing compounds owing to both microgravity and other spaceflight environments (radiation and stressors) contributes to liver damage after spaceflight.

Project description:Methylated sulfur compounds, including dimethylsulfide (DMS), methylmercaptopropionic acid (MMPA) and methylsulfide (MeSH), are well-documented to play roles in global sulfur cycle and climate homeostasis, yet the molecular mechanisms of how they are metabolized by methanogens remain largely uncharacterized. Here, using high-throughtput sequencing of RNA (RNA-seq), we gained insight into how methanogens respond to methylated sulfur compounds at the transcriptional level.

Here, using high-throughtput sequencing of RNA (RNA-seq), we gained insight into how methanogens respond to methylated sulfur compounds at the transcriptional level. The mRNA from wild-type of Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A grown on methylated sulfur compounds were harvested, sequenced and mapped to the genome. Then, we compared RNA-seq profiles to that grown on MeOH in search of unque genes.

Project description:Renal failure is associated with accumulation of various solutes called Uremic toxins. Post transcriptional regulation related to Chronic kidney disease (CKD) have already been described as RNA based silencing with micro RNA or modifications of mRNA degradation. Until now, alternative splice modification was not mentioned in the course of CKD. However, CKD is associated with modification of gene expression. The aim of the study was to explore modification of the alternative splice pattern in the course in CKD. The expression level of individual exons expression in human fibroblast were compared after culture to 96 hours of uremic condition or control condition. Three independant experiments were performed

Project description:Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique is the most abundant marine microorganism, but is unable to utilize inorganic sulfur compounds that are plentiful in the ocean. To investigate how these cells adapt to organic sulfur limitation, batch cultures were grown in defined media containing either limiting or non-limiting amounts of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) as the sole sulfur source. Protein and mRNA expression were measured during exponential growth, immediately prior to stationary phase, and in late stationary phase. Two distinct responses were observed: one as DMSP approached exhaustion, and another after the DMSP supply was depleted. The first response was characterized by increased transcription and translation of all Ca. P. ubique genes downstream of previously confirmed S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) riboswitches: bhmT, mmuM, and metY. These genes were up to 33 times more abundant during low DMSP conditions and shunt all available sulfur to methionine. The osmotically inducible organic hydroperoxidase OsmC was the most up-regulated protein as DMSP (an osmolyte) became scarce. The second response, during sulfur-depleted stationary phase, saw increased transcription of the heme c shuttle ccmC and two small genes of unknown function (SAR11_1163 and SAR11_1164) which were 6-10 times higher in sulfur-starved cultures. No known membrane transporters were up-regulated in response to sulfur limitation, suggesting that this bacterium's strategy for coping with sulfur stress focuses on intracellularly redistributing, rather than importing, organic sulfur compounds. This supports the conclusion that the few organosulfur molecules that Ca. P. ubique is able to metabolize are rarely limiting in the marine environment.

Batch cultures of P. ubique were grown in a defined arificial seawater media. Five cultures were amended with a limiting concentration of DMSP as the sole sulfur source and another four control cultures were amended with a non-limiting DMSP concentration. Cultures were harvested for microarray analyses at multiple timepoints for the purpose of observing differences in gene expression related to sulfur limitation. Proteomic analyses were conducted in parallel and are available at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/archive/projects/PXD003672 .

Project description:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become one of the greatest threats to public health, characterized by renal fibrosis. However, no treatment targeting renal fibrosis is available so far. Several natural diterpene compounds exhibit extraordinary inhibitory effects on TGF-β1-induced renal fibroblast activation and renal fibrosis in UUO mouse model. RNA-sequencing reveals the signaling pathways affected by these compounds. The direct target of the compounds are explored via quantitative mass spectrometry. Besides, the efficacies of the compounds are compared with pirfenidone, an FDA-approved drug for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which is under clinical trials for treating CKD patients. Moreover, these compounds exhibit more potent anti-fibrotic activities than conventional CKD medications such as valsartan and enalapril. Taken together, our study discovered that these diterpeniods alleviate kidney fibrosis by blocking the pro-fibrotic signaling pathway, which has great potential for the treatment of CKD.

Project description:Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at markedly increased risk of disability, hospitalization, and death. Impaired physical function, which is common in CKD, is a major risk factor for these poor outcomes. CKD patients perform substantially below age-predicted norms on a variety of clinically relevant physical performance tests. Altered muscle physiology is an important cause of these functional deficits. We recently described skeletal muscle fibrosis in the vastus lateralis muscle of patients with severely impaired kidney function. Greater severity of fibrosis was associated with lower leg extension strength and reduced endurance capacity, suggesting that muscle fibrosis in CKD patients is functionally significant. An important unanswered question is whether muscle fibrosis in CKD is a slowly progressive process beginning with early loss of kidney function, or a complication observed only with severe disease. Here, we examined the associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate (a measure of kidney function) with measures of fibrosis across a broad range of kidney function, and tested the effect of receiving treatment with dialysis. We also integrated muscle transcriptomic analyses to provide further insight into this novel aspect of muscle pathology in CKD.
