Article Title: Proteomic Analysis of Urine Exosomes Reveals Renal Tubule Response to Leptospiral Colonization in Experimentally Infected Rats

doi: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0003640

Figure Lengend Snippet: The graph represents relative contribution of proteins to the variance between the Leptospira -infected and uninfected control rat urine exosomes. High value of VIP score indicates great contribution of the proteins to the group separation. The green and red boxes on the right indicate whether the protein concentration is increased (green) or decreased (red) in the exosome of the infected rat urine vs. uninfected rat urine samples. For higher n value, a VIP score of 1.5 is considered to enable discrimination between 2 phenotypes. Even with the low n (= 3) per group that is employed in this study, the VIP score of the top 3 proteins is higher than 3, increasing the confidence. Alanyl (membrane) aminopeptidase, also called CD13 is the top protein with a VIP score of 5.72.

doi: 10.1038/gt.2014.3

Figure Lengend Snippet: Constructs of plasmid vectors for APN expression. ( a ) SP146-C1 was selected to develop a therapeutic vector. The original luciferase gene in the pGL3-basic plasmid was replaced by the APN gene. ( b ) Cells were transfected and mRNA expression of APN with CMV-APN and SP146-C1-APN (SP-APN) was detected 24 h later by RT-PCR in 293 T and RAW264.7 cells. CMV-APN was used as a positive control. Densities of bands were measured using Alpha easy FC software and normalized to that obtained with actin or glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). ( c ) Concentrations of APN in the media were measured 48 h later using a human APN ELISA Kit in 293 T and RAW264.7 cells. Data shown are means±s.d.'s. ( d ) The ratio of expressions of SP-APN and CMV-APN was calculated and expressed in graphs. Both mRNA level of APN and released APN showed high ratio in RAW264.7 cells. ** P <0.01 and *** P <0.001. APN, adiponectin; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
