Abstract
The bacillus Calmette-Guérin BCG vaccine (Mycobacterium bovis) is primarily used to prevent tuberculosis (TB) infections but has wide-ranging immunogenic effects. One of its most notable properties is its ability to induce trained immunity, a memory-like response in innate immune cells such as macrophages. Through targeted analyses of well-established histone marks, prior research has shown that these changes are generated through epigenetic modification. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic approaches provide a way to globally profile various aspects of the proteome, providing data to further identify unexplored mechanisms of BCG-mediated immunomodulation. Here we use multi-level proteomics (total, histone, and phospho to identify networks and potential mechanisms that mediate BCG-induced immunomodulation in macrophages. Histone-focused proteomics and total proteomics were performed at the University of Cape Town (data available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD051187), while phosphoproteomics data was retrieved from the ProteomeXchange Repository (identifier PXD013171). We identify several epigenetic mechanisms that may drive BCG-induced training phenotypes. Evidence across the proteomics and histone-focused proteomics data set pair 6 epigenetic effectors (NuA4, NuRD, NSL, Sin3A, SIRT2, SIRT6) and their substrates.
期刊介绍:
The mission of MCP is to foster the development and applications of proteomics in both basic and translational research. MCP will publish manuscripts that report significant new biological or clinical discoveries underpinned by proteomic observations across all kingdoms of life. Manuscripts must define the biological roles played by the proteins investigated or their mechanisms of action.
The journal also emphasizes articles that describe innovative new computational methods and technological advancements that will enable future discoveries. Manuscripts describing such approaches do not have to include a solution to a biological problem, but must demonstrate that the technology works as described, is reproducible and is appropriate to uncover yet unknown protein/proteome function or properties using relevant model systems or publicly available data.
Scope:
-Fundamental studies in biology, including integrative "omics" studies, that provide mechanistic insights
-Novel experimental and computational technologies
-Proteogenomic data integration and analysis that enable greater understanding of physiology and disease processes
-Pathway and network analyses of signaling that focus on the roles of post-translational modifications
-Studies of proteome dynamics and quality controls, and their roles in disease
-Studies of evolutionary processes effecting proteome dynamics, quality and regulation
-Chemical proteomics, including mechanisms of drug action
-Proteomics of the immune system and antigen presentation/recognition
-Microbiome proteomics, host-microbe and host-pathogen interactions, and their roles in health and disease
-Clinical and translational studies of human diseases
-Metabolomics to understand functional connections between genes, proteins and phenotypes
