  • Proteomics Provides Insights Into the Inhibition of Chinese Hamster V79
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Proteomics provides insights into the inhibition of Chinese hamster V79 cell proliferation in the deep underground environment Jifeng Liu1,2, Tengfei Ma1,2, Mingzhong Gao3, Yilin Liu4, Jun Liu1, Shichao Wang2, Yike Xie2, Ling Wang2, Juan Cheng2, Shixi Liu1*, Jian Zou1,2*, Jiang Wu2, Weimin Li2 & Heping Xie2,3,5 As resources in the shallow depths of the earth exhausted, people will spend extended periods of time in the deep underground space. However, little is known about the deep underground environment afecting the health of organisms. Hence, we established both deep underground laboratory (DUGL) and above ground laboratory (AGL) to investigate the efect of environmental factors on organisms. Six environmental parameters were monitored in the DUGL and AGL. Growth curves were recorded and tandem mass tag (TMT) proteomics analysis were performed to explore the proliferative ability and diferentially abundant proteins (DAPs) in V79 cells (a cell line widely used in biological study in DUGLs) cultured in the DUGL and AGL. Parallel Reaction Monitoring was conducted to verify the TMT results. γ ray dose rate showed the most detectable diference between the two laboratories, whereby γ ray dose rate was signifcantly lower in the DUGL compared to the AGL. V79 cell proliferation was slower in the DUGL. Quantitative proteomics detected 980 DAPs (absolute fold change ≥ 1.2, p < 0.05) between V79 cells cultured in the DUGL and AGL. Of these, 576 proteins were up-regulated and 404 proteins were down-regulated in V79 cells cultured in the DUGL. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that seven pathways (e.g.

Cox , Michael C. Mahaney, John L. VandeBerg, Jeffrey Rogers Department of Genetics and Southwest National Primate Research Center, Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research, 7620 NW Loop 410, San Antonio, TX 78227, USA Received 17 January 2006; accepted 29 March 2006 Available online 12 May 2006 Abstract Construction of genetic linkage maps for nonhuman primate species provides information and tools that are useful for comparative analysis of chromosome structure and evolution and facilitates comparative analysis of meiotic recombination mechanisms. Most importantly, nonhuman primate genome linkage maps provide the means to conduct whole genome linkage screens for localization and identification of quantitative trait loci that influence phenotypic variation in primate models of common complex human diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes. In this study we improved a previously published baboon whole genome linkage map by adding more loci. New loci were added in chromosomal regions that did not have sufficient marker density in the initial map. Relatively low heterozygosity loci from the original map were replaced with higher heterozygosity loci. We report in detail on baboon chromosomes 5, 12, and 18 for which the linkage maps are now substantially improved due to addition of new informative markers. © 2006 Published by Elsevier Inc.

The subsequent realization that the intervening regions are removed from pre-mRNA transcripts via the activity of a common set of small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), which assemble together with associated proteins into a spliceosome, was equally surprising. How do cells orchestrate the assembly of this molecular machine? And how does the spliceosome accurately recognize exons and introns to carry out the splicing reaction? Insights into these questions have been gained by studying the life cycle of spliceosomal snRNAs from their transcription, nuclear export and reimport, all the way through to their dynamic assembly into the spliceosome. This assembly process can also affect the regulation of alternative splicing and has implications for human disease.
