Project description:Genetic and limited palaeoanthropological data suggest that Denisovans, a sister group to Neanderthals, were once widely distributed in eastern Eurasia, likely stretching from high-latitude Siberia, to the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau, to the low-latitude subtropical regions of southeast Asia. This suggests that Denisovans were capable of adapting to a highly diverse range of environments, but archaeological evidence for this is currently limited. As a result, we know little about their behaviours, including subsistence strategies, across the vast areas they likely occupied. Here, we describe the late Middle to Late Pleistocene faunal assemblage from Baishiya Karst Cave on the Tibetan Plateau, where the Xiahe Denisovan mandible and Denisovan sedimentary mtDNA were found, by integrating proteomic screening into traditional zooarchaeological analysis. The results indicate that the faunal assemblage consists of a diverse range of animals, including megafauna, large mammals, small mammals and birds, but is dominated by medium-sized herbivores. Frequent cut marks and percussion traces on bone surfaces throughout the assemblage, even on carnivore bones, indicate that Denisovan activities in Baishiya Karst Cave from at least 190 to 30 thousand years are responsible for the fauna assemblage accumulation. Thorough utilization of acquired animal resources, even perhaps the fur, too, might have helped Denisovans to survive through the last two glacial-interglacial cycles on the cold high-altitude Tibetan Plateau. Our results shed new light on Denisovan behaviours and their adaptations to the diverse and fluctuated environments in the Middle and Late Pleistocene eastern Eurasia.

Project description:The extreme environments of the Tibetan Plateau offer significant challenges to human survival, demanding novel adaptations. While the role of biological and agricultural adaptations in enabling early human colonization of the plateau has been widely discussed, the contribution of pastoralism is less well understood, especially the dairy pastoralism that has historically been central to Tibetan diets. Here, we analyze preserved proteins from the dental calculus of 40 ancient individuals to report the earliest direct evidence of dairy consumption on the Tibetan Plateau. Our palaeoproteomic results demonstrate that dairy pastoralism began on the higher plateau by approximately 3,500 years ago, more than 2,000 years earlier than the recording of dairying in historical sources. With less than 1% of the Tibetan Plateau dedicated to farmland, pastoralism and the milking of ruminants were essential for large-scale human expansion into agriculturally-marginal regions that make up the majority of the plateau. Dairy pastoralism allowed conversion of abundant grasslands into nutritional human food, which facilitating adaptation in the face of extreme climatic and altitudinal pressures, and maximizing the land area available for long-term human occupation of the “roof of the world”.

Project description:The altitude gradient limits the growth and distribution of alpine plants.Alpine plants have developed strategies to survive the extremely cold conditions prevailing at high altitudes; however, the mechanism underlying the evolution of these strategies remains unknown. The alpine plant Potentilla saundersiana is widespread in the Northwestern Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we conducted a comparative proteomics analysis to investigate the dynamic patterns of protein expression of P. saundersiana located at five different altitudes. We detected and functionally characterized 118 differentially expressed proteins. Our study confirmed that increasing levels of antioxidant proteins, and their respective activities, and accumulation of primary metabolites, such as proline and sugar, confer tolerance to the alpine environment in P. saundersiana. Proteins species associated with the epigenetic regulation of DNA stability and post-translational protein degradation were also involved in this process. Furthermore, our results showed that P. saundersiana modulated the root architecture and leaf phenotype to enhance adaptation to alpine environmental stress through mechanisms that involved hormone synthesis and signal transduction, particularly the cross-talk between auxin and strictosidine. Based on these findings, we conclude that P. saundersiana uses multiple strategies to adapt to the high-altitude environment of the Northwestern Tibetan Plateau.

Project description:The specificity of humoral immune responses depends on the functional rearrangement and expression of only one allele of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes. Here, we analyzed the comprehensive proteome of the murine Ig Emu CORE enhancer, which governs the rearrangement and expression of the Ig mu heavy chain allele. The Ig Emu consists of a CORE enhancer (harboring a multitude of transcription factor binding sites) and two 5’ and 3’ flanking MAR (matrix attachment region) elements. By mass spectrometry of proteins bound at wild type versus mutant Emu enhancers, we identified Emu-binding proteins and associated multi-protein complexes. We found that the MSL/MOF complex, a regulator of gene dosage compensation in flies, binds Emu via transcription factor YY1 and facilitates Emu-driven chromatin looping and promoter interaction. Msl2 gene knockout in primary pre-B cells or Mof heterozygosity in mice reduced mu gene expression. In this data set we compare proteins binding to the wild-type Emu versus a DNA bait control for which the Emu CORE sequence was switched to its reverse polarity sequence (the flanking MARs sequence are wild-type). The latter conserves the DNA GC content but virtually destroys all sequence-specific transcription factor binding sites. Of note, DNA repetitive sequences that can also be bound by DNA interacting proteins are kept functional by this control bait. SILAC quantitative proteomics was employed in a label swap approach incubating wild-type and control DNA with labeled and non-labled protein extracts, respectively.

Project description:Higher incidence of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is generally considered a precancerous lesion of gastric cancer (GC). Therefore, the early diagnosis and treatment of CAG, especially in Tibetan Plateau areas, play an important role in the prevention of GC. The atrophic and non-atrophic gastric mucosal tissue samples from 7 patients with chronic gastritis (CG) and cancer tissue samples from 3 patients with GC were collected. High-throughput sequencing was performed to identify the differentially expressed in lncRNAs, circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs, followed by the construction of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks (lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network) in CAG. Those differentially expressed mRNAs with the same expression trend in both CAG and GC were further identified. Two datasets (GSE153224 and GSE163416), involving data in non-Tibetan Plateau areas, were used to further screen out plateau-specific mRNAs in CAG, followed by identification of the plateau-specific and ferroptosis related mRNAs. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed to investigate the biological functions of plateau-specific mRNAs in CAG. This study may provide useful information for identifying potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of CAG.
