Determining the Metabolome and Lipidome of Amniotic Fluid Across Gestation

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Chaevien Clendinen
The existing literature suggests that the composition of AF is dynamic and changes across gestation. It is rich in proteins, lipids, oligosaccharides, RNAs, and metabolites that potentially influence…

Metabolic regulation of O-GlcNAc and cardiac function during hypertrophy

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Ljiljana Pasa-Tolic
Despite treatment advances, half of patients suffering from heart failure die within five years of diagnosis, while those who survive may live with severe disabilities. Cardiac hypertrophy poses a…

Discovery of Host Proteins Involved in Host-Pathogen Interactions

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Joshua Adkins
The multiple mechanisms by which pathogenic enterobacteria of the genus Salmonella infect their host indicate a complex host-pathogen relationship. The pathogen secretes dozens of proteins, termed &…

Metabolic Landscape of the Aging Lung

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Jennifer Kyle
Aging is a major risk factor for the majority of acute and chronic diseases of the lung, including emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, and lower respiratory tract infections. In this study we will…

Impact of apolipoprotein E isoforms on brain lipoproteins

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
John Melchior
Cerebrovascular dysfunction leads to the deposition of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain which underlie the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD); an epidemic that…

Developing an automation-ready high throughput chemoproteomic workflow

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Vivian Lin
We propose to develop a high-throughput (HTP) workflow for activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) or bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) samples. This HTP chemoproteomic sample…
