ABSTRACT

A data-independent acquisition (DIA) assay library for quantitative analyses of proteome dynamics has been developed for gills of threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus). A raw spectral library was generated by data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and annotation of tryptic peptides to MSMS spectra and protein database identifiers. The assay library was constructed from the raw spectral library by removal of low-quality, ambiguous, and low-signal peptides. Only unique proteins represented by at least two peptides are included in the assay library, which consists of 1506 proteins, 5074 peptides, 5104 precursors, and 25,322 transitions. This assay library was used with DIA data to identify biochemical differences in gill proteomes of four populations representing different eco- and morpho-types of threespine sticklebacks. The assay library revealed unique and reproducible proteome signatures. Warm-adapted, low-plated, brackish-water fish from Laguna de la Bocana del Rosario (Mexico) show elevated HSP47, extracellular matrix, and innate immunity proteins whereas several immunoglobulins, interferon-induced proteins, ubiquitins, proteolytic enzymes, and nucleic acid remodeling proteins are reduced. Fully-plated, brackish-water fish from Westchester Lagoon (Alaska) display elevated ion regulation, GTPase signaling, and contractile cytoskeleton proteins, altered abundances of many ribosomal, calcium signaling and immunity proteins, and depleted transcriptional regulators and metabolic enzymes. Low-plated freshwater fish from Lake Solano (California) have elevated inflammasomes and proteolytic proteins whereas several iron containing and ion regulatory proteins are reduced. Gills of fully-plated, marine fish from Bodega Harbor (California) have elevated oxidative metabolism enzymes and reduced transglutaminase 2, collagens, and clathrin heavy chains. These distinct proteome signatures represent targets for testing ecological and evolutionary influences on molecular mechanisms of gill function in threespine sticklebacks. Furthermore, the gill assay library represents a model for other tissues and paves the way for accurate and reproducible network analyses of environmental context-dependent proteome dynamics in complex organisms.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Activation changes at the interface of affective and cognitive systems are examined over a 3 year period in pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD). METHODS: Thirteen participants with PBD and 10 healthy controls (HC) matched on demographics and IQ were scanned at baseline, at 16 weeks, and after 3 years. All patients received pharmacotherapy based on a medication algorithm. A pediatric affective color matching paradigm was used to probe cognitive processing under emotional challenge. RESULTS: At baseline, in response to emotional vs. neutral words, patients with PBD showed greater activation than HC in the right dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and amygdala, ventral lateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), bilateral anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and ventral striatum. Increased activation in DLPFC in the PBD group normalized by 16 weeks. By 3 years, normalization was observed in VLPFC, ACC, amygdala, and striatum. LIMITATIONS: Small sample size renders the present findings preliminary. CONCLUSIONS: Greater activation in fronto-striatal and fronto-limbic circuits were observed in unmedicated patients with PBD. Present findings suggest the possibility that DLPFC is most malleable to pharmacological intervention with systematic pharmacotherapy leading to immediate response, which extended to amygdalostriatal and ventral cortical regions at 3 years. The seminal observation from this study is the prolonged length of recovery time in the normalization of subcortical activity along with their interfacing cortical regions. Findings from this proof of concept study need to be replicated in a larger sample.
