Aim: We aimed to identify new plasma biomarkers for the diagnosis of Pulmonary tuberculosis. 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 Pulmonary tuberculosis were still lacked. Objective: This study focused on construct 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. Method: 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. Results: A total of 572 proteins were identified and 549 proteins were quantified. The threshold for differentially expressed protein 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 pulmonary tuberculosis, and be worthy of further validation.

The Impact

Neuroblastoma (NBL) is a pediatric cancer that accounts for 15% of childhood cancer mortality. Amplification of the oncogene N-Myc occurs in 20% of NBL patients and is considered high risk as it correlates with aggressiveness, treatment resistance and poor prognosis. Even though the treatment strategies have improved in the recent years, the survival rate of high-risk NBL patients remain poor. Hence, it is crucial to explore new therapeutic avenues to sensitise NBL. Recently, bovine milk-derived extracellular vesicles (MEVs) have been proposed to contain anti-cancer properties. However, the impact of MEVs on NBL cells is not understood. In this study, we characterised MEVs using Western blotting, NTA and TEM. Importantly, treatment of NBL cells with MEVs decreased the proliferation and increased the sensitivity of NBL cells to doxorubicin. Temporal label-free quantitative proteomics of NBL cells highlighted the depletion of proteins involved in cell metabolism, cell growth and Wnt signalling upon treatment with MEVs. Furthermore, proteins implicated in cellular senescence and apoptosis were enriched in NBL cells treated with MEVs. For the first time, this study highlights the temporal proteomic profile that occurs in cancer cells upon MEVs treatment.

Insight Into

Background/Aims: Individuals possessing a single kidney are at greater risk of renal injury upon exposure to harmful stimuli. This study aimed to explore the pathogenesis of renal injury in glomerulonephritis with versus without unilateral nephrectomy (UNX). Methods: Histological analysis and label-free quantitative proteomics were performed on two models—the Habu snake venom-induced glomerulonephritis model with versus without UNX (HabuU and Habu models, respectively). The role of villin 1, a differentially expressed protein (DEP) in mouse mesangial cells, was investigated. Results: Persistent mesangiolysis and focal hypercellularity together with reduced activation of cell proliferation in the HabuU model induced more serious renal injury compared with that in the Habu model. The DEPs between the two models were identified by label-free liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The KEGG pathway results indicated that regulation of actin cytoskeleton and focal adhesion were specifically enriched in the HabuU model. The cytoskeleton regulation protein villin 1 was downregulated in the HabuU model, but unchanged in the Habu model. Knockdown of villin 1 promoted apoptosis and inhibited the proliferation of mouse mesangial cells, suggesting villin 1 to be involved in qlomerular lesion self-repair insufficiency. Conclusion: By assessing the proteomic profiles of the two models, this study identified several important differences, particularly villin 1 expression, in regulatory mechanisms between the two models. Our findings provide novel insight into the mechanism of serious renal injury in glomerulonephritis with UNX.

Odd Chain Fatty Acids

Methylmalonic acidemias (MMAs) are inborn errors of metabolism due to the deficient activity of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT). MUT catalyzes the formation of succinyl-CoA from methylmalonyl-CoA, produced from propionyl-CoA catabolism and derived from odd chain fatty acids β-oxidation, cholesterol, and branched-chain amino acids degradation. Increased methylmalonyl-CoA levels allow for the presymptomatic diagnosis of the disease, even though no approved therapies exist. MMA patients show hyperammonemia, ketoacidosis, lethargy, respiratory distress, cognitive impairment, and hepatomegaly. The long-term consequences concern neurologic damage and terminal kidney failure, with little chance of survival. The cellular pathways affected by MUT deficiency were investigated using a quantitative proteomics approach on a cellular model of MUT knockdown. Currently, a consistent reduction of the MUT protein expression was obtained in the neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y) by using small-interfering RNA (siRNA) directed against an MUT transcript (MUT siRNA). The MUT absence did not affect the cell viability and apoptotic process in SH-SY5Y. In the present study, we evaluate and quantify the alterations in the protein expression profile as a consequence of MUT-silencing by a mass spectrometry-based label-free quantitative analysis, using two different quantitative strategies. Both quantitative methods allowed us to observe that the expression of the proteins involved in mitochondrial oxido-reductive homeostasis balance was affected by MUT deficiency. The alterated functional mitochondrial activity was observed in siRNA_MUT cells cultured with a propionate-supplemented medium. Finally, alterations in the levels of proteins involved in the metabolic pathways, like carbohydrate metabolism and lipid metabolism, were found.
