Bioorthogonal noncanonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) is based on mutant methionine-tRNA synthases (MetRS) that incorporates metabolic tags, for example, azidonorleucine [ANL], into newly synthesized proteins. BONCAT revolutionizes metabolic proteomics, because mutant MetRS transgene allows one to identify cell type-specific proteomes in mixed biological environments. This is not possible with other methods, such as stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation and tandem mass tags. At the same time, an inherent weakness of BONCAT is that after click chemistry-based enrichment, all identified proteins are assumed to have been metabolically tagged, but there is no confirmation in mass spectrometry data that only tagged proteins are detected. As we show here, such assumption is incorrect and accurate negative controls uncover a surprisingly high degree of false positives in BONCAT proteomics. We show not only how to reveal the false discovery and thus improve the accuracy of the analyses and conclusions but also approaches for avoiding it through minimizing nonspecific detection of biotin, biotin-independent direct detection of metabolic tags, and improvement of signal to noise ratio through machine learning algorithms.</p>","PeriodicalId":20979,"journal":{"name":"Rejuvenation research","volume":"25 2","pages":"95-109"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9063144/pdf/rej.2022.0019.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9220010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carnosine is a dipeptide composed of β-alanine and L-histidine. Study has shown that carnosine could ameliorate cognitive impairment in animal model with diabetes mellitus. However, the mechanism remains unclear. An animal model of type 2 diabetes (db/db mice) was used in this study. The animals were treated with 0.9 % saline or carnosine (100 mg/kg) for 8 weeks. Morris water maze was tested after drug administration. Oxidative stress-related factors malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), and pro-inflammatory factors inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were measured. Synapse-related protein postsynapticdensity 95 (PSD95) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were detected by western blot. Besides, the expressions of sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), binding immunoglobulin protein (BIP), protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), phospho-protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (P-PERK), inositol-requiring enzyme-1α (IRE1α), phospho-inositol-requiring enzyme-1α (P-IRE1α), activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) in the hippocampus of the brain were detected. The results showed that treatment with carnosine ameliorated cognitive impairment in db/db mice. Carnosine reduced neuronal oxidative stress damage and iNOS expression in db/db mice. Meanwhile, carnosine relieved neurodegeneration in the hippocampus of db/db mice. Furthermore, carnosine promoted the expression of SIRT6 and reduced the expressions of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) related factors (BIP, P-PERK, P-IRE1α, ATF6, CHOP). In conclusion, these data suggested that the protective effect of carnosine against diabetic encephalopathy might be related to SIRT6/ER stress pathway.","PeriodicalId":20979,"journal":{"name":"Rejuvenation research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44165737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So far, the strategies for increased lifespan have been largely focused on the post-reproductive stage. These approaches are challenging and may at some point reach a plateau.

We analysed the expression of seven miRNAs from obese adipose tissue supposed to have a role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and respiratory disease related to obesity and we compared it with the expression of the same miRNAs in a group of non-obese controls. In the current study what emerged is miR-27b and miR-483 significant down-regulation in subcutaneous adipose tissue from obese group compared with non-obese ones. For visceral adipose tissue, a significant decrease in miR-27b and miR-223 expression was observed in obese group. Moreover, a different expression of miR-26a and miR-338 in the obese group was found.
