Simultaneous metabolic labeling of cells with multiple amino acids combined with acetic acid urea-PAGE and MS was used to characterize histones in Kasumi-1 cells treated with the histone deacetylase inhibitor depsipeptide (DDP). The approach allowed for rapid targeting, identification, and subsequent characterization of peptides containing sites of acetylation or methylation. Multiple methylation sites were determined for histone H3 including: di- and tri-methylation of K9 and K27; mono- and di-methylation of K36 and K79; and mono-methylation of K37. The acetylation patterns for histones H4 and H3 were established. Quantitative analysis of the modification change after treatment with DDP was also performed and the dynamics of H4 acetylation determined. Functional analysis by RT-PCR showed that DDP unregulated p21 expression with a maximum after 18-h exposure. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments indicated that DDP treatment caused an accumulation of hyperacetylated histone H4 and H3 isoforms and a decrease in K9 di-methylation of H3 on the p21 promoter.

The global increase of overweight and obesity in children and adults is one of the most prominent public health threats, often accompanied by insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The simultaneous occurrence of these health problems is referred to as metabolic syndrome. Various criteria have been proposed to define this syndrome, but no general consensus on the specific markers and the respective cut-offs has been achieved yet.

Background: In neuroscience, Ca imaging is a prevalent technique used to infer neuronal electrical activity, often relying on optical signals recorded at low sampling rates (3 to 30 Hz) across multiple neurons simultaneously. This study investigated whether increasing the sampling rate preserves critical information that may be missed at slower acquisition speeds.

Methods: Primary neuronal cultures were prepared from the cortex of newborn pups.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy caused by clonally expanded plasma cells that produce a monoclonal immunoglobulin (M-protein), a personalized biomarker. Recently, we developed an ultra-sensitive mass spectrometry method to quantify minimal residual disease (MS-MRD) by targeting unique M-protein peptides. Therapeutic antibodies (t-Abs), key in MM treatment, often lead to deep and long-lasting responses.
