Protein expression in submandibular glands of young rats is modified by a high-fat/high-sugar maternal diet
2018
International audience; OBJECTIVE: Maternal diet has consequences on many organs of the offspring, but salivary glands have received little attention despite the importance of the saliva secretory function in oral health and control of food intake. The objective of this work was therefore to document in rats the impact of maternal high-fat/high-sugar diet (Western Diet) on submandibular glands of the progeny. DESIGN: Sprague-Dawley rat dams were fed either a Western diet or control diet during gestation and lactation and their pups were sacrificed 25 days after birth. The pups' submandibular gland protein content was characterized by means of 2D-electrophoresis followed by LC-MS/MS. Data we…
Salivary protein profiles and sensitivity to the bitter taste of caffeine.
2011
WOS: 000298381900008; International audience; The interindividual variation in the sensitivity to bitterness is attributed in part to genetic polymorphism at the taste receptor level, but other factors, such as saliva composition, might be involved. In order to investigate this, 2 groups of subjects (hyposensitive, hypersensitive) were selected from 29 healthy male volunteers based on their detection thresholds for caffeine, and their salivary proteome composition was compared. Abundance of 26 of the 255 spots detected on saliva electrophoretic patterns was significantly different between hypo- and hypersensitive subjects. Saliva of hypersensitive subjects contained higher levels of amylase…
Multi-omics profiling reveals that eating difficulties developed consecutively to artificial nutrition in the neonatal period are associated to speci…
2015
Prolonged enteral or parenteral nutrition in neonatal periods sometimes results in eating difficulties persisting for years, with reduced food intake through the oral route and thereby reduced stimulation of the oral cavity. Aiming at describing the consequences on oral physiology, saliva of 21 children with eating difficulties (ED) was compared to that of 23 healthy controls, using various omics and targeted methods. Overall, despite heterogeneity within the groups (age, medication etc.), the three spectral methods (MALDI-TOF, SELDI-TOF, (1)H NMR) allowed discriminating ED and controls, confirming that oral stimulation by food intake plays a role in shaping the composition of saliva. Saliv…
Inter-individual variability of protein patterns in saliva of healthy adults
2009
International audience; In order to document inter-individual variability in salivary protein patterns, unstimulated whole saliva was obtained from 12 subjects at 10 am and 3 pm of the same day. Saliva proteins were separated using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and semi-quantified using image analysis. One-way ANOVA was used to test the effects “time of sampling” and “subject”. Data were further explored by multivariate analyses (PCA, hierarchical clustering). Spots of interest were identified by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS/MS and nanoLC ESI-IT MS/MS). A dataset of 509 spots matched in all gels was obtained. There was no diurnal statistical effect on salivary patterns while inter…
Optimization of the preanalytical steps of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry identification provides a fle…
2012
ABSTRACT We report here that modifications of the preanalytical steps of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) identification of yeasts, with regard to the original protocol provided by the manufacturers, appear to be efficient for the reliable routine identification of clinical yeast isolates in medical laboratories. Indeed, when one colony was sampled instead of five and the protein extraction protocol was modified, the performance of MALDI-TOF MS was superior to that of the API ID 32C method (discrepancies were confirmed by using molecular identification), allowing the correct identification of 94% of the 335 clinical isolates prospec…
Reconstitution of a protein monolayer on thiolates functionalized gaas surface
2012
International audience; In the aim to realize an efficient resonant biosensor, gallium arsenide (GaAs) presents many advantages. In addition to its properties of transduction, GaAs is a crystal for which microfabrication processes were developed, conferring the possibility to miniaturize the device and integrate electronic circuit. Moreover, the biofunctionalization could be realized on the crystalline surface without layer deposition, constituting a real advantage to perform reusable sensor. The functionalization of GaAs surface was engaged in order to immobilize a protein monolayer on this substrate. Functionalization was done using a mixed self assembled monolayer of thiolate molecules. …
Children with eating disorders secondarily to artificial nutrition in the neonatal period have specific food preferences and saliva composition
2016
- Objectives and studyIn the neonatal period, some severe digestive diseases require the cessation of oral feeding and the use of enteral or parenteral nutrition for prolonged periods. In some cases, this by-pass of the oral cavity during the early stages of feeding results in the development of so-called oral disorders (OD). Oral disorders may persist for years after healing of the causal disease, and are expressed for example by an exacerbated gag reflex, difficulties in chewing and swallowing and high food selectivity.The aim of this study were to describe the consequences on oral physiology of oral by-pass and enteral nutrition in a population of 21 children who suffered oral disorder (…
Revisited BIA-MS combination: Entire "on-a-chip" processing leading to the proteins identification at low femtomole to sub-femtomole levels
2008
International audience; We present the results of a study in which biomolecular interaction analysis (BIA, Biacore 2000) was combined with mass spectrometry (MS) using entire "on-a-chip" procedure. Most BIA-MS studies included an elution step of the analyte prior MS analysis. Here, we report a low-cost approach combining Biacore analysis with homemade chips and MS in situ identification onto the chips without elution step. First experiments have been made with rat serum albumin to determine the sensitivity and validation of the concept has been obtained with an antibody/antigen couple. Our "on-a-chip" procedure allowed complete analysis by MS-MS of the biochip leading to protein identificat…

Comparison of 3 ionisation methods - electron ionisation, chemical ionisation and atmospheric pressure photoionisation - for the characterisation of …
2021
International audience; Gas chromatography (GC) is a reproducible, robust, selective and sensitive method to analyse volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a wide range of applications. The separated analytes are generally characterised by mass spectrometry (MS) under vacuum conditions. The main ionisation method is the Electron Ionisation (EI): high energy exchanges occur, causing reproducible molecular fragmentations. Chemical Ionisation (CI) is another ionisation method where a reactive gas (i.e. methane or ammonia) is ionised to form reactant ions. GC-MS can also be conducted under atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric Pressure PhotoIonisation (APPI) is the most recent source [1]. Emitted pho…

Impact of a minimally processing route for the production of infant formulas on the organoleptic properties
2022
Many new-borns are fed with substitutes of breast milk. These products undergo several heat treatments, necessary to insure their microbiologic safety but probably modifying their organo-leptic properties. High temperature can damage milk proteins and form Maillard reaction prod-ucts with lactose. Microfiltration – to replace the heat treatments for a milk debacterization – combined with a soft spray-drying is currently an alternative little exploited to produce infant formulas (IFs) although microbiologically safe. The aim of this study was to determine the im-pact of such processing route on the organoleptic properties of the IFs. Three experimental IFs were manufactured at a semi-industr…
