1. 应用E.coli芯片与人类蛋白质组芯片(Huprot) 研究病原菌(E.coli)与宿主细胞(HBMEC)的相互作用:
Title: High-Throughput Chip Assay for Investigating Escherichia coli Interaction with the Blood−Brain Barrier Using Microbial and Human Proteome Microarrays (Dual-Microarray Technology), 第一作者 (Anal. Chem, WOS: 1区, IF: 8.1)
Figure 1. Utilization of E. coli and human proteome arrays to identify YojI and interferon-alpha receptor (IFNAR2) mediated bacterium host cell interactions. Live HBMEC was labeled with Vybrant CFDA SE cell tracer and probed to the E. coli proteome microarrays. As one of the E. coli membrane proteins that could capture the labeled HBMEC, YojI’s interaction with HBMEC was further validated using additional methods, such as FACS. To identify the host receptors of YojI, purified YojI proteins were fluorescently labeled and probed to the HuProt arrays, comprised of ∼18 000 human individually purified proteins. One of the identified human proteins, IFNAR2, was validated with cell adhesion assays. Each assay was performed in triplicate.
2. 构建重组人膜蛋白质芯片(VirD) 应用药物, 抗体(Antibody), 分子配体(Ligand), 凝集素(Lectin)的高通量、大规模筛选(High Throughput Screening, HTS), 快速发现新的先导化合物与药物作用靶标; 重组病毒可应用抗体药物的研发
Title: VirD: A Virion Display Array for Profiling Functional Membrane Proteins, 共同第一作者 (Anal. Chem, WOS: 1区, IF: 8.1)
Figure 2. a. Development of the VirD Array. Schematics of the two strategies used for the virion display system are shown. The first utilizes expression of the CDs/GPR77 molecules tagged with the V5 epitope from the gB promoter, and the second uses a chimeric expression method by fusing the CDs /GPR77 to the TM and C-terminus of glycoprotein C. The signal peptide (SP) is shown. Recombinant HSV-1 virions expressing these engineered human genes were used to infect mammalian cells, and virions released from these cells, which would incorporate the human membrane protein in the virion envelope, were purified and printed on FAST slides (AC). b. Integration of virion display (VirD) with virion-oscillators for studying membrane proteins and HTS drugs. (i) Displaying human GPCRs on HSV-1 envelope with VirD. (ii) Fabricating virion-oscillators. Each virion-oscillator consisting of a virion tethered to a gold surface with 63 nm long polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers. The PEG linker contains a thiol and a N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) on its two ends, where the thiol group binds to the gold surface, and the NHS group crosslinks the virion via NHS-amine reaction (JACS).
