Project description:Molecular profiling of human primary cell types is essential for holistic understanding of human biology. Here we present a map of 28 human primary cell types with comprehensive measurements of expressed transcripts and proteins. Three major clusters of epithelial, endothelial, and mesenchymal cell types were observed both at transcriptome and proteome level along with discovery of several cell type specific proteins. Among them, we characterized the novel epithelial specific protein C1orf116 which was further validated with immunohistochemistry across various human tissues. Comprehensive proteome profiling across cell types allowed characterization of ten orphan proteins including TMEM252 and TM4SF18 which lacked protein level evidence. Exhaustive protein database search considering 27 biologically relevant post-translational modifications and 12 chemical modifications was performed, thanks to the increased performance of cloud-based search engine. This, for the first time, provided the catalog of post-translational modifications across cell types, which serve as a resource of PTMs for future studies. We characterized proteins such as protein EEF1A1with various types of PTMs and understudied PTMs including histidine methylation, and O-acetylation of serine. Interestingly, the unexpected higher frequency of dioxidation on tryptophan than that of methionine led us to characterize oxidative mitochondria complex subunit proteins modified through oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria, which was mostly considered as chemical artifact so far. Overall, these indicated that considering various PTMs during protein database search from non-enriched samples could be routinely used in proteomics experiments. Further, protein database search strategy considering alternative translational start sites, splice junctions, and translational readthrough provided a unique opportunity to refine genome annotation with their proteomic evidence. We believe that our data with the large catalog of transcriptome and proteome of normal human primary cells provide a cornerstone for holistic understanding of cell biology.
Project description:Sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables, is a potent inhibitor of experimental mammary carcinogenesis and may be an effective, safe chemopreventive agent for use in humans. SFN acts in part on the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway to regulate a battery of cytoprotective genes. In this study transcriptomic and proteomic changes in the estrogen receptor negative, non tumorigenic human breast epithelial MCF10A cell line were analyzed following SFN treatment or KEAP1 knockdown with siRNA using microarray and stable isotopic labeling with amino acids in culture (SILAC), respectively. Changes in selected transcripts and proteins were confirmed by PCR and Western blot in MCF10A and MCF12A cells. There was strong correlation between the transcriptomic and proteomic responses in both the SFN treatment (R=0.679, P<0.05) and KEAP1 knockdown (R=0.853, P<0.05) experiments. Common pathways for SFN treatment and KEAP1 knockdown were xenobiotic metabolism and antioxidants, glutathione metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism and NADH/NADPH regeneration. Moreover, these pathways were most prominent in both the transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. The aldo-keto reductase family members, AKR1B10, AKR1C1, AKR1C2 and AKR1C3, as well as NQO1 and ALDH3A1, were highly upregulated at both the transcriptomic and proteomic level. Collectively, these studies served to identify potential biomarkers that can be used in clinical trials to investigate the initial pharmacodynamic action of SFN in the breast. MCF10A cells were treated with SFN or had KEAP1 knocked down by siRNA.
