Project description:We have employed a custom bioprospecing approach to identify cationic antimicrobial peptides from Komodo dragon plasma. Through these analyses we identified forty eight novel potential cationic antimicrobial peptides, with all but one of the identified peptides being derived from histone proteins. The antimicrobial effectiveness of eight of these peptides was evaluated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa 9027 and Staphylococcus aureus 25983, with seven peptides exhibiting antimicrobial activity against both microbes, and one only showing significant potency against Pseudomonas aeruginosa 9027. This study demonstrates the power and promise of our bioprospecting approach to CAMP discovery and it reveals the presence of a plethora of novel histone-derived antimicrobial peptides in the plasma of the dragon. These findings may have broader implications regarding the role that intact histones and histone-derived peptides play in defending the host from infection.

Project description:We investigated the hypothesis that transmigration drives monocyte transcriptional changes. Using Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarrays, we identified over 600 differentially expressed genes (2x, p<0.05) in freshly isolated human monocytes following 1.5 h of transmigration across IL1beta-stimulated ECs compared to untreated monocytes. Genes up-regulated by monocyte transmigration belong to a number of overrepresented functional groups including immune response, and inhibition of apoptosis. qRT-PCR confirmed increased expression of monocyte chemotactic proteins 1 and 3 and of NLR family apoptosis inhibitory protein (NAIP) following monocyte transmigration. In addition, quantification of annexin V binding revealed a reduction in apoptosis following monocyte transmigration. Comparison of gene expression in transmigrated monocytes to additional controls (monocytes which failed to transmigrate and monocytes incubated beneath stimulated ECs) revealed 89 differentially expressed genes which were controlled by the physical process of diapedesis. Functional annotation of these genes showed down-regulation of antimicrobial genes (e.g. alpha-defensin down 50x, cathelicidin down 9x, and cathepsin G down 3x). qRT-PCR confirmed down-regulation of these genes. Immunoblots confirmed that monocyte transmigration down-regulates alpha-defensin protein expression. Overall, these data indicate that exposure of monocytes to stimulated ECs promotes further monocyte recruitment and inhibits monocyte apoptosis. Unexpectedly, following transmigration monocytes displayed reduced anti-microbial expression.

Unexpectedly, following transmigration monocytes displayed reduced anti-microbial expression. Monocytes were allowed to transmigrate across IL1b stimulated HUVEC. Monocytes which transmigrated and monocytes which failed to transmigrate were collected after 1.5 hours from 3 experimental replicates of different human donors. Untreated monocytes were collected as a control from 4 human donors. Monocytes incubated beneath stimulated HUVEC for 1.5 hours were also collected from four human donors as a control.

Project description:Tadpoles of the anuran species Rana pirica can undergo predator-specific morphological responses. Exposure to a predation threat by larvae of the salamander Hynobius retardatus results in formation of a bulgy body (bulgy morph) with a higher tail. Whereas, dragon fly also induced higher tail tadpole. The tadpoles revert to a normal phenotype upon removal of the larval salamander or dragon fly threat. The objective of the present study was to use Affymetrix Xenopus Genechip to profile gene expression in the tail tissue by different predation threat. Tadpoles of Rana pirica treated with larvae salamander for 8days (S1, S2, S3) or dragon fly for 8days (Y1,Y2, Y3) were analyzed with triplicate. Removal experiments were also treated with predators for 4days and then removed predators from tadpoles (-S1,-S2, -S3) or (-Y1,-Y2,-Y3). Controls were cultured for 8days without predators (C2, C3). Tails from tadpoles after 8days of each treatment were dissected for RNA extraction and gene expression analysis using Affymetrix Xenopus Genechip arrays.
