Exosome Liberation by Human Neutrophils under L-Amino Acid Oxidase of Calloselasma rhodostoma Venom Action. Toxins (Basel) 2023; 15:625. [PMID: 37999488 PMCID: PMC10674320 DOI: 10.3390/toxins15110625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
L-Amino acid oxidase (LAAO) is an enzyme found in snake venom that has multifaceted effects, including the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) during oxidative reactions, leading to various biological and pharmacological outcomes such as apoptosis, cytotoxicity, modulation of platelet aggregation, hemorrhage, and neutrophil activation. Human neutrophils respond to LAAO by enhancing chemotaxis, and phagocytosis, and releasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory mediators. Exosomes cellular nanovesicles play vital roles in intercellular communication, including immune responses. This study investigates the impact of Calloselasma rhodostoma snake venom-derived LAAO (Cr-LAAO) on human neutrophil exosome release, including activation patterns, exosome formation, and content. Neutrophils isolated from healthy donors were stimulated with Cr-LAAO (100 μg/mL) for 3 h, followed by exosome isolation and analysis. Results show that Cr-LAAO induces the release of exosomes with distinct protein content compared to the negative control. Proteomic analysis reveals proteins related to the regulation of immune responses and blood coagulation. This study uncovers Cr-LAAO's ability to activate human neutrophils, leading to exosome release and facilitating intercellular communication, offering insights into potential therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and immunological disorders.

Exploring the transcriptomic changes underlying recombinant vaccine efficacy against Teladorsagia circumcincta in 3-month-old lambs. Vet Parasitol 2023; 320:109960.

Abstract
Teladorsagia circumcincta is an abomasal parasitic nematode that can cause serious issues in small ruminant production, which are aggravated by drug resistance. Vaccines have been suggested as a feasible, long-lasting alternative for control since adaptation to the host's immune mechanisms by helminths develops at a much slower pace than anthelmintic resistance. Recently, a T. circumcincta recombinant subunit vaccine yielded over a 60% reduction in egg excretion and worm burden and induced strong humoral and cellular anti-helminth responses in vaccinated 3-month-old Canaria Hair Breed (CHB) lambs, but Canaria Sheep (CS) of a similar age were not protected by the vaccine. Here, we compared the transcriptomic profiles in the abomasal lymph nodes of such 3-month-old CHB and CS vaccinates 40 days after infection with T. circumcincta to understand differences in responsiveness at the molecular level. In the CS, differentially expressed genes (DEG) identified were related to general immunity processes such as antigen presentation or antimicrobial proteins and down-regulation of inflammation and immune response through regulatory T cell-associated genes. However, upregulated genes in CHB vaccinates were associated with type-2 oriented immune responses, i.e., immunoglobulin production, activation of eosinophils, as well as tissue structure and wound repair-related genes and protein metabolism pathways such as DNA and RNA processing. These results highlight potentially more optimal timing and orientation of immune responses in CHB sheep compared to CS associated with vaccine-induced protection. The data obtained in this study thus deepens our understanding of variations in responsiveness to vaccination in young lamb and provides insights for vaccine refinement strategies.

Abstract
Whey acidic protein four-disulfide core domain protein 12 (WFDC12) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriasis but the specific molecular mechanism is not clearly defined. In this study, we found the expression of WFDC12 protein closely correlated with psoriasis. WFDC12 in keratinocyte might increase infiltration of Langerhans cells (LCs) and monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDDCs), up-regulating the co-stimulation molecular CD40/CD86. Th1 cells in lymph nodes were higher in K14-WFDC12 transgenic psoiasis-like mice. Meanwhile, the mRNA of IL-12 and IFN-γ in the lesion skin was significantly increased in transgenic mice. Moreover, we found that the expression of the proteins that participated in the retinoic acid–related pathway and immune signaling pathway was more changed in the lesion skin of K14-WFDC12 transgenic psoriasis-like mice. Collectively, the results implied that WFDC12 might affect the activation of the retinoic acid signaling pathway and regulate the infiltration of DC cells in the skin lesions and lymph nodes, thereby inducing Th1 cells differentiation and increasing the secretion of IFN-γ to exacerbate psoriasis in mice.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of leading causes of death worldwide in the female population. Deaths from breast cancer could be reduced significantly through earlier and more efficient detection of the disease. Saliva, an oral fluid that contains an abundance of protein biomarkers, has been recognized as a promising diagnostic biofluid that is easy to isolate through non-invasive techniques. Assays on saliva can be performed rapidly and are cost-effective. Therefore, our work aimed to identify salivary biomarkers present in the initial stages of breast cancer, where cell alterations are not yet detectable by histopathological analysis. Using state-of-the-art techniques, we employed a transgenic mouse model of mammary cancer to identify molecular changes in precancerous stage breast cancer through protein analysis in saliva. Through corroborative molecular approaches, we established that proteins related to metabolic changes, inflammatory process and cell matrix degradation are detected in saliva at the onset of tumor development. Our work demonstrated that salivary protein profiles can be used to identify cellular changes associated with precancerous stage breast cancer through non-invasive means even prior to biopsy-evident disease.

Abstract
The fascinating story of epidermal immunity begins in utero where the epidermal barrier derives from the ectoderm and evolves through carefully orchestrated biological processes, including periderm formation, keratinocyte differentiation, proliferation, cornification, and maturation, to generate a functional epidermis. Vernix caseosa derives from epidermal cells that mix with sebaceous lipids and coat the fetus during late gestation, likely to provide conditions for cornification. At birth, infants dramatically transition from aqueous conditions to a dry gaseous environment. The epidermal barrier begins to change within hours, exhibiting decreased hydration and low stratum corneum (SC) cohesion. The SC varied by gestational age (GA), transformed over the next 2–3 months, and differed considerably versus stable adult skin, as indicated by analysis of specific protein biomarkers. Regardless of gestational age, the increased infant SC proteins at 2–3 months after birth were involved in late differentiation, cornification, and filaggrin processing compared to adult skin. Additionally, the natural moisturizing factor (NMF), the product of filaggrin processing, was higher for infants than adults. This suggests that neonatal skin provides innate immunity and protection from environmental effects and promotes rapid, continued barrier development after birth. Functional genomic analysis showed abundant differences across biological processes for infant skin compared to adult skin. Gene expression for extracellular matrix, development, and fatty acid metabolism was higher for infant skin, while adult skin had increased expression of genes for the maintenance of epidermal homeostasis, antigen processing/presentation of immune function, and others. These findings provide descriptive information about infant epidermal immunity and its ability to support the newborn’s survival and growth, despite an environment laden with microbes, high oxygen tension, and irritants.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response triggered by an infectious agent and is recognized by the World Health Organization as a global concern, since it is one of the major causes of severe illness in humans and animals. The study of the changes that can occur in saliva and serum in sepsis can contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the process and also to discover potential biomarkers that can help in its diagnosis and monitoring. The objective of this study was to characterize the changes that occur in the salivary and serum proteome of pigs with experimentally-induced sepsis. The study included five pigs with sepsis induced by LPS administration and five pigs with non-septic inflammation induced by turpentine for comparative purposes. In saliva, there were eighteen salivary proteins differentially expressed in the sepsis condition and nine in non-septic inflammation. Among these, significant increments in aldolase A and serpin B12 only occurred in the sepsis model. Changes in aldolase A were validated in a larger population of pigs with sepsis due to Streptococcus suis infection. In serum, there were 30 proteins differentially expressed in sepsis group and 26 proteins in the non-septic group, and most of the proteins that changed in both groups were related to non-specific inflammation. In the saliva of the septic animals there were some specific pathways activated, such as the organonitrogen compound metabolic process and lipid transport, whereas, in the serum, one of the main activated pathways was the regulation of protein secretion. Overall, saliva and serum showed different proteome variations in response to septic inflammation and could provide complementary information about the pathophysiological mechanisms occurring in this condition. Additionally, salivary aldolase A could be a potential biomarker of sepsis in pigs that should be confirmed in a larger population.

Sun L, Li J, Li X, Yang X, Zhang S, Wang X, Wang N, Xu K, Jiang X, Zhang Y. A Combined RNA Signature Predicts Recurrence Risk of Stage I-IIIA Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Front Genet 2021; 12:676464. [PMID: 34194476 PMCID: PMC8236863 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.676464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Recurrence remains the main cause of the poor prognosis in stage I-IIIA lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) after surgical resection. In the present study, we aimed to identify the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) related to the recurrence of stage I-IIIA LUSC. Moreover, we constructed a risk assessment model to predict the recurrence of LUSC patients. Methods RNA sequencing data (including miRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs) and relevant clinical information were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs were identified using the “DESeq2” package of the R language. Univariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier curve were used to identify recurrence-related genes. Stepwise multivariate Cox regression analysis was carried out to establish a risk model for predicting recurrence in the training cohort. Moreover, Kaplan-Meier curves and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were adopted to examine the predictive performance of the signature in the training cohort, validation cohort, and entire cohort. Results Based on the TCGA database, we analyzed the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among 27 patients with recurrent stage I-IIIA LUSC and 134 patients with non-recurrent stage I-IIIA LUSC, and identified 431 lncRNAs, 36 miRNAs, and 746 mRNAs with different expression levels. Out of these DEGs, the optimal combination of DEGs was finally determined, and a nine-joint RNA molecular signature was constructed for clinical prediction of recurrence, including LINC02683, AC244517.5, LINC02418, LINC01322, AC011468.3, hsa-mir-6825, AC020637.1, AC027117.2, and SERPINB12. The ROC curve proved that the model had good predictive performance in predicting recurrence. The area under the curve (AUC) of the prognostic model for recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 0.989 at 3 years and 0.958 at 5 years (in the training set). The combined RNA signature also revealed good predictive performance in predicting the recurrence in the validation cohort and entire cohort. Conclusions In the present study, we constructed a nine-joint RNA molecular signature for recurrence prediction of stage I-IIIA LUSC. Collectively, our findings provided new and valuable clinical evidence for predicting the recurrence and targeted treatment of stage I-IIIA LUSC.

Abstract
Aim:
We aimed to identify new plasma biomarkers for the diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis
(PTB).
Background:
Tuberculosis is an ancient infectious disease that remains one of the major global health problems.
Until now, effective, convenient, and affordable methods for diagnosis of PTB were still lacking.
Objective:
This study focused on constructing a label-free LC-MS/MS-based comparative proteomics
between six tuberculosis patients and six healthy controls to identify Differentially Expressed Proteins
(DEPs) in plasma.
Methods:
To reduce the influences of high-abundant proteins, albumin and globulin were removed from
plasma samples using affinity gels. Then DEPs from the plasma samples were identified using a label-free
Quadrupole-Orbitrap LC-MS/MS system. The results were analyzed by the protein database search algorithm
SEQUEST-HT to identify mass spectra to peptides. The predictive abilities of combinations of host
markers were investigated by General Discriminant Analysis (GDA), with Leave-One-Out Cross-
Validation (LOOCV).
Results:
A total of 572 proteins were identified and 549 proteins were quantified. The threshold for
DEPs was set as adjusted p-value < 0.05 and fold change ≥1.5 or ≤0.6667, 32 DEPs were found. ClusterVis,
TBtools, and STRING were used to find new potential biomarkers of PTB. Six proteins, LY6D,
DSC3, CDSN, FABP5, SERPINB12, and SLURP1, which performed well in the LOOCV method validation,
were termed as potential biomarkers. The percentage of cross-validated grouped cases correctly
classified and original grouped cases correctly classified is greater than or equal to 91.7%.
Conclusion:
We successfully identified five candidate biomarkers for immunodiagnosis of PTB in
plasma, LY6D, DSC3, CDSN, SERPINB12, and SLURP1. Our work supported this group of proteins
as potential biomarkers for PTB, and be worthy of further validation.

Abstract
There is a strong relationship between metabolic state and susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection, with energy metabolism setting the basis for an exaggerated immuno-inflammatory response, which concurs with MTB pathogenesis. Herein, we show that controlled caloric restriction (CR), not leading to malnutrition, protects susceptible DBA/2 mice against pulmonary MTB infection by reducing bacterial load, lung immunopathology, and generation of foam cells, an MTB reservoir in lung granulomas. Mechanistically, CR induced a metabolic shift toward glycolysis, and decreased both fatty acid oxidation and mTOR activity associated with induction of autophagy in immune cells. An integrated multi-omics approach revealed a specific CR-induced metabolomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic signature leading to reduced lung damage and protective remodeling of lung interstitial tightness able to limit MTB spreading. Our data propose CR as a feasible immunometabolic manipulation to control MTB infection, and this approach offers an unexpected strategy to boost immunity against MTB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy (FA) are associated with skin barrier dysfunction. OBJECTIVE Skin biomarkers are needed for skin barrier interventions studies. METHODS In this study, skin tape strip (STS) samples were collected from nonlesional skin of 62 children in AD FA+, AD FA-, and nonatopic groups for mass spectrometry proteomic analysis. transepidermal water loss and allergic sensitization were assessed. STS proteomic analysis results were validated in an independent cohort of 41 adults with AD with and without FA versus nonatopic controls. RESULTS A group of 45 proteins was identified as a principal component 1 (PC1) with the highest expression in AD FA+ STSs. This novel set of STS proteins was highly correlative to skin transepidermal water loss and allergic sensitization. PC1 proteins included keratin intermediate filaments; proteins associated with inflammatory responses (S100 proteins, alarmins, protease inhibitors); and glycolysis and antioxidant defense enzymes. Analysis of PC1 proteins expression in an independent adult AD cohort validated differential expression of STS PC1 proteins in the skin of adult patients with AD with the history of clinical reactions to peanut. CONCLUSIONS STS analysis of nonlesional skin of AD children identified a cluster of proteins with the highest expression in AD FA+ children. The differential expression of STS PC1 proteins was confirmed in a replicate cohort of adult AD patients with FA to peanut, suggesting a unique STS proteomic endotype for AD FA+ that persists into adulthood. Collectively, PC1 proteins are associated with abnormalities in skin barrier integrity and may increase the risk of epicutaneous sensitization to food allergens.

Abstract
A number of epidermal proteins are closely related to skin barrier function, the abnormalities of which can lead to specific skin diseases. These proteins must be quantified to further investigate the changes in the skin barrier between healthy and disease states. However, the non-invasive and proteome-wide quantification of skin proteins without any labelling steps remains a challenge. In this study, 3M medical adhesive tapes were used to obtain skin samples from volunteers. Proteins were extracted from fresh skin samples and digested with trypsin. Each tryptic peptide was analysed in three replicates using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry analysis and label-free quantification. The data were searched against the Human Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) to match with known proteins. Using this method, 1,157 skin proteins recorded in the UniProt were quantified. A total of 50 identical proteins were identified in the three replicate analyses of all samples with no significant differences in abundance. The results provided an objective metric for further study of skin ageing and various skin diseases. Specifically, the non-invasive proteome-wide method used in this study can be applied to future studies of skin diseases related to barrier destruction by monitoring the changes in the levels of epidermal proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Topical steroids are effective in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), but patients often show different tendencies to relapse. We assessed whether gene expression is associated with a sort of steroid dependency in EoE children. METHODS Biopsy samples were prospectively collected on EoE children responding to topical steroids. Patients treated with viscous budesonide for 24 weeks were subsequently classified as early (6 months) or late (>6 months) relapsing. RNA was isolated from esophageal biopsies at the time of the relapse and analyzed by NGS for transcriptome profiling. RESULTS Of 40 patients, 22 patients were considered for mRNA expression profile. Thirteen were included in the early-relapse group, and 9 were in the late-relapse. No significant difference was observed in the two groups for clinical, endoscopic or histological features. Using the mRNA expression profile we performed supervised clustering using the 10 top differentially expressed genes between early and late relapsing patients. The heatmap and PCA show a proper segregation among patients. SERPINB12 is the only gene attaining a significant differential expression between the two groups (FDR < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Different tendencies to relapse in EoE children responding to topical steroids might be related to altered mRNA expressions. SERPINB12 presented a significantly higher expression in the late relapse group and it deserves further investigations.

Abstract
Backgrounds Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in various biological processes. However, their functions in salt-sensitive hypertension are largely unknown. In this study, the lncRNA-seq technique was employed to compare the expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in salt-sensitive hypertensive rats. Methods Blood pressure, serum sodium, and urinary creatinine were texted in salt-sensitive and salt-insensitive rats fed with different salt concentrations. High-throughput sequencing was used to detect the expression of lncRNAs and mRNA in the renal medulla of the two groups. Results Blood pressure and urinary sodium/creatinine of high-salt diets of the sensitive group were significantly higher than that in the control group. Serum sodium has no significant difference between the two groups in high-salt diets. NONRATG007131.2 and NONRATG012674.2 were the most different lncRNAs in the high salt-sensitive group. Correlation analysis reveals that Matn1, Serpinb12, Anxa8, and Hspa5 may play an important role in salt-sensitive hypertension. Conclusion This study analyzed the difference in lncRNA and mRNA between salt-sensitive and salt-insensitive rats with different salt diets by high-throughput sequencing. Salt sensitivity and salt concentration were two key factors for the induction of hypertension. We found some potential genes that play an important role in salt-sensitive hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroschisis has been assumed to have a low rate of syndromic and primary malformations. We aimed to systematically review and explore the frequency and type of malformations/chromosomal syndromes and to identify significant biological/genetic roles in gastroschisis. METHODS Population-based, gastroschisis-associated anomalies/chromosomal defects published 1950-2018 (PubMed/MEDLINE) were independently searched by two reviewers. Associated anomalies/chromosomal defects and selected clinical characteristics were subdivided and pooled by race, system/region, isolated, and associated cases (descriptive analysis and chi-square test were performed). Critical regions/genes from representative chromosomal syndromes including an enrichment analysis using Gene Ontology Consortium/Panther Classification System databases were explored. Fisher's exact test with False Discovery Rate multiple test correction was performed. RESULTS Sixty-eight articles and 18525 cases as a base were identified (prevalence of 17.9 and 3% for associated anomalies/chromosomal defects, respectively). There were 3596 associated anomalies, prevailing those cardiovascular (23.3%) and digestive (20.3%). Co-occurring anomalies were associated with male, female, American Indian, Caucasian, prenatally diagnosed, chromosomal defects, and mortality (P < 0.00001). Gene clusters on 21q22.11 and 21q22.3 (KRTAP), 18q21.33 (SERPINB), 18q22.1 (CDH7, CDH19), 13q12.3 (FLT1), 13q22.1 (KLF5), 13q22.3 (EDNRB), and 13q34 (COL4A1, COL4A2, F7, F10) were significantly related to biological processes: blood pressure regulation and/or vessel integrity, angiogenesis, coagulation, cell-cell and/or cell-matrix adhesion, dermis integrity, and wound healing (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that gastroschisis may result from the interaction of several chromosomal regions in an additive manner as a pool of candidate genes were identified from critical regions supporting a role for vascular disruption, thrombosis, and mesodermal deficiency in the pathogenesis of gastroschisis.

Effects of miR-338 on morphine tolerance by targeting CXCR4 in a rat model of bone cancer pain. Biosci Rep 2017; 37:BSR20160517. [PMID: 28108674 PMCID: PMC5350600 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20160517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2016] [Revised: 01/16/2017] [Accepted: 01/20/2017] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of miR-338 on morphine tolerance through the targeting of CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) in a rat model of bone cancer pain (BCP). Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were obtained and divided into model saline (n=10), model morphine (n=50), normal saline (n=10) and normal morphine (healthy rats, n=10) groups. After BCP rat model establishment, the remaining SD rats (n=40) in the model saline group were assigned into pLV-THM-miR-338, pLV-THM-anti-miR-338, CXCR4 shRNA, blank and PBS groups. Luciferase reporter gene assay was used for luciferase activity. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting were performed to detect the miR-338 and CXCR4 mRNA and protein expression. The model saline group showed increased mRNA and protein expressions of CXCR4 but decreased miR-338 compared with the model saline group, and the model morphine group had increased mRNA and protein expressions of CXCR4 but decreased miR-338 compared with the model saline group. The mRNA and protein expressions of miR-338 in the pLV-THM-miR-338 group increased remarkably while those of the pLV-THM-anti-miR-338 group decreased significantly compared with the CXCR4 shRNA, blank and PBS groups. The pLV-THM-miR-338, pLV-THM-anti-miR-338, CXCR4 shRNA and CXCR4 mRNA groups all had lower mRNA and protein expressions of CXCR4 than those in the blank and PBS groups. miR-338 exerts significant influence in the inhibition of morphine tolerance by suppressing CXCR4 in BCP.

Abstract
The clade B/intracellular serpins protect cells from peptidase-mediated injury by forming covalent complexes with their targets. SERPINB12 is expressed in most tissues, especially at cellular interfaces with the external environment. This wide tissue distribution pattern is similar to that of granzyme A (GZMA). Because SERPINB12 inhibits trypsin-like serine peptidases, we determined whether it might also neutralize GZMA. SERPINB12 formed a covalent complex with GZMA and inhibited the enzyme with typical serpin slow-binding kinetics. SERPINB12 also inhibited Hepsin. SERPINB12 may function as an endogenous inhibitor of these peptidases.
