双向凝胶电泳-飞行时间质谱技术鉴定小鼠胚泡黏附时子宫内膜nm23-M2/NDPK B的表达

运用双向聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(2DPAGE)分析未交配小鼠子宫内膜和妊娠第五天(D_5)小鼠子宫内膜胚泡黏附时植入位点及其旁组织蛋白质组。差异蛋白质组学显示,等电点(isoelectricpoint,pI)约7.1、分子量(molecularweight,Mw)约18kDa的蛋白质点在D_5小鼠子宫内膜特别是植入位点表达上调。对此蛋白质点用基质辅助激光解析电离飞行时间质谱(matrix—assistedlaserdesorpion/ionizationtimeofflyingmassspectrometry,MALDI-TOF-MS)测定其胶内酶解后的肽质量指纹谱(PeptideMassFingerprint,PMF),经Mascot:PeptideMassFingerprint中SWISS-PROT数据库查询后,鉴定该蛋白质为鼠源性nm23-M2/NDPKB。RT-PCR和免疫组织化学结果也显示D_5小鼠子宫内膜nm23-M2/NDPKBmRNA和蛋白表达明显增加。提示nm23-M2/NDPKB参与胚泡着床这一重要生命活动过程。

IDENTIFICATION OF nm23-M2/NDPK B EXPRESSION DURING THE BLASTOCYST ADHESIVENESS IN THE MOUSE ENDOMERIUM BY TWO-DIMENTIONAL ELECTROPHORESIS AND MALDI-TOF-MASS SPECTROMETRY

The nm23 gene family was involved in cellular multiphysiopathological processes including differentiation, development, apoptosis and cancer promotion, progression or metastasis. Some data indicate that nm23 plays an important role in regulating reproductive processes. In the present study, we analyzed the proteome of the implantation sites and the peri-implantation sites in NIH mice on Day 5 of gestation by using two-Dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE), while the virgin mice as the control. A protein spot with pI 7.1, Mr 18 kDa showed up-regulated expression in endometrium during the blastocysts adhesiveness. Using matrix-assisted laser desorp- tion-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), this protein was identified as nm23-M2/NDPK B. The nm23-M2 expression in mice endometrium was shown progressive in- crease on Day 5 of gestation by RT-PCR, which was consistent with the result obtained by im- munohistochemistry. These findings suggest that nm23-M2/NDPK B was involved in the process of blastocyst implantation.
