A1 - Schuck, Peter T1 - A Multilaboratory Comparison of Calibration Accuracy and the Performance of External References in Analytical Ultracentrifugation JF - PLoS ONE N2 - Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) is a first principles based method to determine absolute sedimentation coefficients and buoyant molar masses of macromolecules and their complexes, reporting on their size and shape in free solution. The purpose of this multi-laboratory study was to establish the precision and accuracy of basic data dimensions in AUC and validate previously proposed calibration techniques. Three kits of AUC cell assemblies containing radial and temperature calibration tools and a bovine serum albumin (BSA) reference sample were shared among 67 laboratories, generating 129 comprehensive data sets. These allowed for an assessment of many parameters of instrument performance, including accuracy of the reported scan time after the start of centrifugation, the accuracy of the temperature calibration, and the accuracy of the radial magnification. The range of sedimentation coefficients obtained for BSA monomer in different instruments and using different optical systems was from 3.655 S to 4.949 S, with a mean and standard deviation of (4.304\(\pm\)0.188) S (4.4%). After the combined application of correction factors derived from the external calibration references for elapsed time, scan velocity, temperature, and radial magnification, the range of s-values was reduced 7-fold with a mean of 4.325 S and a 6-fold reduced standard deviation of \(\pm\)0.030 S (0.7%). In addition, the large data set provided an opportunity to determine the instrument-to-instrument variation of the absolute radial positions reported in the scan files, the precision of photometric or refractometric signal magnitudes, and the precision of the calculated apparent molar mass of BSA monomer and the fraction of BSA dimers. These results highlight the necessity and effectiveness of independent calibration of basic AUC data dimensions for reliable quantitative studies.

Here we hypothesize that some risk-associated variants might act in non-breast tissues, specifically adipose tissue and immune cells from blood and spleen. Using expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) reported in these tissues, we identify 26 previously unreported, likely target genes of overall breast cancer risk variants, and 17 for estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer, several with a known immune function. We determine the directional effect of gene expression on disease risk measured based on single and multiple eQTL. In addition, using a gene-based test of association that considers eQTL from multiple tissues, we identify seven (and four) regions with variants associated with overall (and ER-negative) breast cancer risk, which were not reported in previous GWAS. Further investigation of the function of the implicated genes in breast and immune cells may provide insights into the etiology of breast cancer.

However, usually there is no direct comparison between the different restriction forms. Additionally, many cell culture experiments take place under static conditions. In this work, we used a closed perfusion culture in murine L929 cells over a period of 7 days to compare methionine restriction (MetR) and glucose restriction (LowCarb) in the same system and analysed the metabolome by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). In addition, we analysed the inhibition of glycolysis by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) over a period of 72 h. 2-DG induced very fast a low-energy situation by a reduced glycolysis metabolite flow rate resulting in pyruvate, lactate, and ATP depletion. Under perfusion culture, both MetR and LowCarb were established on the metabolic level. Interestingly, over the period of 7 days, the metabolome of MetR and LowCarb showed more similarities than differences. This leads to the conclusion that the conditioned medium, in addition to the different restriction forms, substantially reprogramm the cells on the metabolic level.

Es sollte dabei auch gezeigt werden, ob sich Indizien für die Induktion eines LEM finden lassen. Weiterhin sollten die Polyamine Spermidin, Spermin, Putrescin und N-Acetylputrescin als CRMs diskutiert und ihr Einfluss auf das Proliferationsverhalten an sieben Zelllinien herausgestellt werden. Der antiproliferative Effekt der Polyamine Spermidin und Spermin auf das Wachstum der untersuchten Zelllinien konnte in dieser Arbeit bestätigt werden, wobei sich Spermin als potenter erwies als Spermidin. Eine durch Spermidin/Spermin induzierte Autophagie konnte in den Western Blots nicht signifikant nachgewiesen werden. Putrescin und N-Acetylputrescin zeigten nur leichte Wirkungen bei hoher Dosis (10 mM). Während Putrescin einen leicht antiproliferativen Effekt hatte, zeigte N-Acetylputrescin eine leicht proliferationssteigernde Wirkung. Die Autophagie-Induktion durch Methionin-Restriktion konnte durch den Nachweis Autophagie-assoziierter Proteine in den durchgeführten Western Blots bestätigt werden. Um regelmäßig von den positiven Effekten der Autophagie zu profitieren, wäre eine pflanzenbasierte Ernährungsweise sinnvoll und gut durchführbar, da Methionin hauptsächlich in tierischen Lebensmitteln und nur geringfügig in pflanzlichen Nahrungsmitteln vorkommt. Ein völliger Verzicht auf Methionin ist nicht empfehlenswert, da die Aminosäure essentiell ist und somit über die Nahrung aufgenommen werden muss. Um das Methionin-Level konstant, aber niedrig zu halten, erscheint eine Bedarfsdeckung über pflanzliche Nahrung als ideal. Die an den Zelllinien L929 und HeLa durchgeführten Proliferationsstudien zeigten, dass die Zellen selbst nach fünftägiger Glutamin- Restriktion geringfügig weiter proliferierten und keinerlei Merkmale des Zelltodes aufwiesen. Die massenspektrometrische Analyse der Modellzelllinie L929, welche über einen Zeitraum von fünf Tagen einer Glutamin-Restriktion ausgesetzt war, zeigte deutliche metabolische Veränderungen bei den über 150 untersuchten Metaboliten, die auf die Induktion eines LEM schließen lassen. Es konnte ein metabolischer Fingerabdruck nach 48 h für die Zelllinie L929 unter Glutamin-Restriktion definiert werden, der zukünftig als Referenz bei der Testung potentieller CRMs herangezogen werden kann. N2 - The basic aim of this study was to investigate the influence of glutamine restriction as a form of amino acid restriction on the proliferation behavior, metabolism and morphology of the murine fibroblast cell line L929. It should also be shown whether there is evidence for the induction of LEM. Furthermore, the polyamines spermidine, spermine, putrescine and N-acetylputrescine should be discussed as CRMs and their influence on the proliferation behavior of seven cell lines should be highlighted. The antiproliferative effect of the polyamines spermidine and spermine on the growth of the cell lines was confirmed in this study, with spermine proving to be more potent than spermidine. Autophagy induced by spermidine/spermine could not be significantly detected in the Western blots. Putrescine and N-acetylputrescine showed only slight effects at high doses (10 mM). While putrescine had a slight antiproliferative effect, N-acetylputrescine showed a slight proliferation-enhancing effect. The induction of autophagy by methionine restriction was confirmed by the detection of autophagy-associated proteins in the Western blots. In order to benefit regularly from the positive effects of autophagy, a plant-based diet would be sensible and easy to implement, as methionine is mainly found in animal foods and only slightly in plant foods. Completely avoiding methionine is not recommended, as the amino acid is essential and must therefore be obtained from food. In order to keep the methionine level constant but low, it seems ideal to cover the requirement via plant food. The proliferation studies carried out on the cell lines L929 and HeLa showed that the cells continued to proliferate slightly even after five days of glutamine restriction and did not exhibit any signs of cell death. The mass spectrometric analysis of the model cell line L929, which was exposed to glutamine restriction over a period of five days, showed clear metabolic changes in the more than 150 metabolites examined, suggesting the induction of LEM. A metabolic fingerprint could be defined after 48 h for the cell line L929 under glutamine restriction, which can be used as a reference for testing potential CRMs in the future.
