Bioorthogonal chemistry is a mainstay of chemoproteomic sample preparation workflows. While numerous transformations are now available, chemoproteomic studies still rely overwhelmingly on copper-catalyzed azide –alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or 'click' chemistry. Here we demonstrate that gel-based activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) and mass-spectrometry-based chemoproteomic profiling can be conducted using Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling. We identify reaction conditions that proceed in complex cell lysates and find that Suzuki –Miyaura cross-coupling and CuAAC yield comparable chemoproteomic coverage. Importantly, Suzuki–Miyaura is also compatible with chemoproteomic target deconvolution, as demonstrated using structurally matched probes tailored to react with the cysteine protease caspase-8. Uniquely enabled by the observed orthogonality of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling and CuAAC, we combine both reactions to achieve dual protein labeling.

Background:Etiology and pathogenesis of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is multifactorial and understanding of the processes leading from a healthy immune system to autoimmunity and on to debut of symptoms in AAV is rudimentary.Objectives:To identify inflammatory proteins related to the early processes preceding AAV development, and potential novel biomarkers, using large-scale protein analysesMethods:The Swedish National Patient Register of in-patient carevand the Swedish Cause of Death Register with discharge diagnosis from ICD-9 and-10 for AAV were co-analysed with the registers of 4 different blood biobanks to identify AAV individuals with available samples predating onset of symptom. Of the pre-AAV cases 86 (36 male, 50 female; mean age (SD); 51.9 (16.9) years) were identified with at least one plasma or serum sample (28 plasma, and 100 serum) pre-dating symptom onset (mean (SD); -4.3 (3.1) years), and 14 had 2-3 samples. Serum and plasma control samples matched for sex, age and sampling date were identified (n=198; 82 male, 116 female; mean age (SD); 51.9±15.9 years). The samples were analysed for levels of 92 proteins using proximity extension assay (OLINK inflammation panel, SciLifeLab, Uppsala, Sweden). Data were analysed using routine statistical methods, random forest and Partial Least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA).Results:As previously described for the assay significant difference between plasma and serum samples were observed both in pre-AAV individuals and controls. In pre-AAV plasma samples significantly increased concentrations of interleukin (IL)-2, chemokine ligand (CCL)-4, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)21, IL-4 and CCL20 were found closer to symptom onset, (<5 years) than later (> 5 years) and compared with controls. In serum tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member (TNFRSF)9, CXCL9, osteoprotegerin and vascular endothelial growth factor-A were significantly increased <5 years before onset vs. later (>5 years) and compared with controls. PLS-DA score scattered plot separated the pre-AAV individuals from healthy controls (R2=0.26), with significantly increased levels of CCL23, CXCL5, and matrix metalloproteinases-1 (MMP-1),transforming growth factor-ß, orosomucoid, en-rage (S100A12) and IL-7 and decreased FGF-19 level in serum. Binary logistic regression analyses comparing tertiles for these proteins confirmed significantly increased odds ratios for disease development of CCL23, CXCL5 and MMP-1. The findings were confirmed in random forest analysis where these factors were among the 20 most discriminatory factors between pre-symptomatic AAV and controls.Conclusion:In serum samples collected years before symptom onset of AAV, proteins involved in immune system activation were increased, suggesting that the inflammatory process is initiated long before clinical manifestations of the disease appear. These findings propose the elevated proteins as novel biomarkers for disease progression.References:[1]Watts et al.

Abstract Background Severe courses of COVID-19 are associated with elevated levels of interleukin 6. However, there is a growing body of evidence pointing to a broad and more complex disorder of pro-inflammatory and anti-viral responses with disturbed interferon signaling in COVID-19. Methods In this prospective single-center registry, we included SARS-CoV-2 positive patients and patients with similar symptoms and severity of disease but negative for SARS-CoV-2 admitted to the emergency department and compared their serum protein expression profiles. Results Interleukin-6 abundance was similar in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients (n = 24) compared to SARS-CoV-2 negative control (n = 61). In contrast, we observed a specific upregulation of the immunomodulatory protein progranulin (GRN). High GRN abundance was associated with adverse outcomes and increased expression of interleukin-6 in COVID-19. Conclusion The data from this registry reveals that GRN is specifically upregulated in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients while interleukin-6 may serve as marker for disease severity. The potential of GRN as a biomarker and a possible impact of increased GRN expression on interferon signaling, virus elimination, and virus-induced lung tissue damage in COVID-19 should be further explored.

AbstractPlectin, a highly versatile cytolinker protein, provides tissues with mechanical stability through the integration of intermediate filaments (IFs) with cell junctions. Here, we hypothesize that plectin-controlled cytoarchitecture is a critical determinant of the intestinal barrier function and homeostasis. Mice lacking plectin in an intestinal epithelial cell (IEC; PleΔIEC) spontaneously developed colitis characterized by extensive detachment of IECs from the basement membrane (BM), increased intestinal permeability, and inflammatory lesions. Moreover, plectin expression was reduced in the colons of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and negatively correlated with the severity of colitis. Mechanistically, plectin deficiency in IECs led to aberrant keratin filament (KF) network organization and the formation of dysfunctional hemidesmosomes (HDs) and intercellular junctions. In addition, the hemidesmosomal α6β4 integrin (Itg) receptor showed attenuated association with KFs, and protein profiling revealed prominent downregulation of junctional constituents. Consistent with the effects of plectin loss in the intestinal epithelium, plectin-deficient IECs exhibited remarkably reduced mechanical stability and limited adhesion capacity in vitro. Feeding mice with a low-residue liquid diet that reduced mechanical stress and antibiotic treatment successfully mitigated epithelial damage in the PleΔIEC colon.
