Change in the expression of body fluid proteins is caused by many diseases or environmental disturbances. The changes in tear proteins are also associated with various pathological eye conditions. Especially, chronic blepharitis is one of the most common conditions seen in the ophthalmologist's office. However, there are no specific clinical diagnostic tests for blepharitis, and it is difficult to treat effectively. Therefore, the aim of this study was to screen prognostic or diagnostic marker tear proteins for blepharitis and investigate pathogenesis of this disease using proteomics techniques. The tear proteins expressed in patients suffering from blepharitis (patient, n=19) and healthy volunteers (control, n=27) were analyzed using the two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) technique. The differentially expressed proteins in patients were identified with ESI-Q-TOF (electrospray-quadrupole-time-of-flight) mass spectrometry and confirmed with western blotting. Nine proteins in patient were down regulated about 50% compared to those of the control: serum albumin precursor, alpha-1 antitrypsin, lacritin precursor, lysozyme, Ig-kappa chain VIII, prolactin inducible protein (PIP/GCDFP-15), cystatin-SA III, pyruvate kinase, and an unnamed protein. The use of the two-dimensional eletrophoretic technique could give more insight into the disease-related protein expression changes in tear fluids. Our findings reveal that the composition of tear proteins in blepharitis patients is different from that of healthy subjects and may provide further insights into the pathogenesis of blepharitis. 相似文献

In the present study, we investigated the differentially expressed proteins associated with ulcerative colitis (UC) using
proteomic methods. Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) technology was performed to separate the total proteins of ulcerative
tissues from those of the normal tissues of UC patients. PDQuest software was applied to analyze the obtained 2-DE images.
Candidate protein spots between the two groups were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight
mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis. The well resolution and reproducible 2-DE patterns of UC and normal tissues
were established. Of the 12 differentially expressed proteins, 9 were successfully identified, of which 6 proteins were up-regulated
including apolipoprotein C-III, haptoglobin, receptor tyrosine kinase, aldehyde reductase, pericentriolar material 1, and
heat shock factor protein 2, and 3 were down-regulated including keratin, filamin A-interacting protein 1, and tropomyosin
3. These identified proteins were related to hormonal modulation, immune response, oxidative stress, and signal conduction.
The 2-DE protein expression profile of the UC tissues displays an obvious difference from that of the normal controls. Various
proteins may be involved in the occurrence of UC. 相似文献

Behcet's disease (BD) is a multisystemic autoimmune disease with unclear etiology and pathogenesis. To screen aberrant serum proteins in BD, serum samples were obtained from eight male BD patients with active uveitis and eight male healthy volunteers with informed consent. The serum samples from active BD patients and normal controls were pooled. Highly abundant serum proteins (albumin and IgG) were depleted from these two samples using an affinity capture based kit. The obtained samples were subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Protein spots were visualized with the "blue silver" staining. Differently expressed proteins were subsequently identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption /ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS). Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed using the serum samples from 18 patients with active BD, 6 patients with inactive BD, 22 patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome, and 20 healthy volunteers to validate the results of 2-DE and MS. Proteomic profiles of the pooled samples were compared, and approximately 800 protein spots were observed in each of the gels. Expression levels of four of the protein spots in active BD were significantly higher than those in the normal controls. Mass spectrometric protein identification revealed that the four protein spots corresponded to two proteins: haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA). Western blot and ELISA showed that Hp was only overexpressed in active BD but not in inactive BD, VKH syndrome, or healthy controls. An obvious band of SAA was detected in 72.2% of the serum samples from BD patients, whereas a vague band of this protein was found in 10.0% of the tested normal samples and 9.1% of VKH samples. Our results revealed a significantly increased expression of Hp and SAA in serum of active BD patients. These two proteins may be involved in the development of BD. 相似文献

Although the significant risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are well known from epidemiological studies, diagnosis of this disease at an early stage is difficult, and HCC remains one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Thus, to identify any useful HCC-related biomarkers is still a need. We performed SELDI-TOF MS to identify differentially expressed proteins in HCC serum using weak cation exchange protein chips. Protein characterization was performed by 2-DE separation and nano flow LC-MS/MS. A total of 55 sera were collected from HCC patients and compared with those from 48 patients with chronic hepatitis and 9 healthy individuals. A candidate marker of about 8900 Da was detected as differentially expressed in patients with chronic hepatitis C and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related HCC. We identified this differentially expressed protein as complement C3a. The expression of C3a in HCC sera was further validated by PS20 chip immunoassay and Western blotting. Complement C3a was found to be elevated in patients with chronic hepatitis C and HCV-related HCC. The combination of SELDI-TOF MS and 2-DE provides a solution to identify disease-associated serum biomarkers. 相似文献

Diagnostic biomarkers for early detection of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are in great need. In the present study, we compared the serum protein profiles of patients with small RCC to those of healthy individuals to identify the differentially expressed proteins with potential to serve as biomarkers. Serum samples were collected from 10 patients with small RCC and 10 healthy individuals. The serum protein expression profiles were analyzed by two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. Twenty-seven proteins with differences in expression levels between RCC patients and healthy volunteers were identified. Of these, 19 were expressed at different levels and eight were expressed in serum from the RCC group, but not from the control group. Six differentially expressed proteins identified by using mass spectrometry included coagulation factor XIII B, complement C3 and its precursor, misato homolog 1 (isoform CRA_b), hemopexin, and alpha-1-B-glycoprotein. Some of these serum proteins are known regulators of tumor progression in human malignancies. In conclusion, we successfully applied 2-D gel electrophoresis and identified six serum proteins differentially expressed between patients with small RCC and healthy volunteers. These proteins may provide novel biomarkers for early detection and diagnosis of human RCC. 相似文献

Suberonylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) is an orally administered histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACI) that has shown significant
antitumour activity in a variety of tumour cells. To identify proteins involved in its antitumour activity, we utilized a
proteomic approach to reveal protein expression changes in the human cervical cancer cell line HeLa following SAHA treatment.
Protein expression profiles were analysed by 2-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and protein identification
was performed on a MALDI-Q-TOF MS/MS instrument. As a result, a total of nine differentially expressed proteins were visualized
by 2-DE and Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) staining. Further, all the changed proteins were positively identified via mass
spectrometry (MS)/MS analysis. Of these, PGAM1 was significantly downregulated in HeLa cells after treatment with SAHA. Moreover,
PGAM1 has been proven to be downregulated in another cervical cancer cell line (CaSki) by western blot analysis. Together,
using proteomic tools, we identified several differentially expressed proteins that underwent SAHA-induced apoptosis. These
changed proteins may provide some clues to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying SAHA-induced apoptosis
in cervical cancer. 相似文献

Background
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) is a powerful method to study protein expression and function in living organisms and diseases. This technique, however, has not been applied to avian bursa of Fabricius (BF), a central immune organ. Here, optimized 2-DE sample preparation methodologies were constructed for the chicken BF tissue. Using the optimized protocol, we performed further 2-DE analysis on a soluble protein extract from the BF of chickens infected with virulent avibirnavirus. To demonstrate the quality of the extracted proteins, several differentially expressed protein spots selected were cut from 2-DE gels and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). 相似文献10.

Background
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major cause of liver infection in human. Because of the lack of an appropriate cell culture system for supporting HBV infection efficiently, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of hepadnavirus infection remain incompletely understood. Duck heptatitis B virus (DHBV) can naturally infect primary duck hepatocytes (PDHs) that provide valuable model systems for studying hepadnavirus infection in vitro. In this report, we explored global changes in cellular protein expression in DHBV infected PDHs by two-dimension gel electrophoresis (2-DE) combined with MALDI-TOF/TOF tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).Results
The effects of hepadnavirus infection on hepatocytes were investigated in DHBV infected PDHs by the 2-DE analysis. Proteomic profile of PDHs infected with DHBV were analyzed at 24, 72 and 120 h post-infection by comparing with uninfected PDHs, and 75 differentially expressed protein spots were revealed by 2-DE analysis. Among the selected protein spots, 51 spots were identified corresponding to 42 proteins by MS/MS analysis; most of them were matched to orthologous proteins of Gallus gallus, Anas platyrhynchos or other avian species, including alpha-enolase, lamin A, aconitase 2, cofilin-2 and annexin A2, etc. The down-regulated expression of beta-actin and annexin A2 was confirmed by Western blot analysis, and potential roles of some differentially expressed proteins in the virus-infected cells have been discussed.Conclusions
Differentially expressed proteins of DHBV infected PDHs revealed by 2-DE, are involved in carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, stress responses and cytoskeleton processes etc, providing the insight to understanding of interactions between hepadnavirus and hepatocytes and molecular mechanisms of hepadnavirus pathogenesis. 相似文献11.
Arteries undergo remodeling as a consequence of increased wall stress during hypertension. However, the molecular mechanisms of the vascular remodeling are largely unknown. Proteomics is a powerful tool to screen for differentially expressed proteins, but little effort was made on vascular disease research, especially on hypertension. In the present study, the differentially expressed proteins in aortas from 18-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and their normotensive counterpart, Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY), were examined by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE). We found 50 proteins to be differentially expressed, among which 27 were highly or only expressed in SHR and 23 in WKY. Using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and online data search, nine proteins, including Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor alpha (RhoGDIalpha), were identified with high confidence. Further, the upregulation of RhoGDIalpha was verified at both mRNA and protein level in SHR. In addition, when cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from aortas of SHR and WKY were treated with angiotensin II (Ang II) and antagonist of angiotensin II type I (AT(1)) receptor, L158809, respectively, RhoGDIalpha was upregulated by Ang II and downregulated by L158809 in VSMCs of SHR. These results demonstrate that vascular remodeling results in significant alterations in the protein expression profile of the aorta during hypertension and suggest that the upregulation of RhoGDIalpha in hypertension is induced by Ang II via AT(1) receptor. 相似文献

Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) is an adult onset, slowly progressive distal and proximal myopathy. Although the causing gene, GNE, encodes for a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of sialic acid, its primary function in HIBM remains unknown. The goal of this study was to unravel new clues on the biological pathways leading to HIBM by proteomic comparison. Muscle cultures and biopsies were analyzed by two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and the same biopsy extracts by isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ). Proteins that were differentially expressed in all HIBM specimens versus all controls in each analysis were identified by mass spectrometry. The muscle cultures 2-DE analysis yielded 41 such proteins, while the biopsies 2-DE analysis showed 26 differentially expressed proteins. Out of the 400 proteins identified in biopsies by iTRAQ, 41 showed altered expression. In spite of the different nature of specimens (muscle primary cultures versus muscle biopsies) and of the different methods applied (2D gels versus iTRAQ) the differentially expressed proteins identified in each of the three analyses where related mainly to the same pathways, ubiquitination, stress response and mitochondrial processes, but the most robust cluster (30%) was assigned to cytoskeleton and sarcomere organization. Taken together, these findings indicate a possible novel function of GNE in the muscle filamentous apparatus that could be involved in the pathogenesis of HIBM. 相似文献

We used comparative two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry methodologies to highlight and identify proteins that are differentially expressed in the intracellular stage of the parasite Leishmania donovani infantum, a causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis. During its digenetic life cycle, Leishmania alternates between the alimentary tract of the sandfly vector as an extracellular promastigote and the acidic phagolysosomes of macrophage cells as an intracellular amastigote. Proteins differentially expressed in the intracellular form of the parasite are thought to be important for intracellular survival and pathogenesis. We used narrow pH range strips for isoelectric focusing to resolve soluble proteins of both developmental stages of L. infantum. More than 62 proteins differentially expressed in amastigotes were detected among approximately 2000 protein spots resolved by 2-DE. A quadrupole time-of-flight analysis of few selected protein spots, specifically expressed in the amastigote stage, permitted the identification of two proteins, part of the energetic metabolism pathways, the isocitrate dehydrogenase and the glycolytic enzyme triosephosphate isomerase. The kinetic parameters of these two enzymes were measured in both developmental stages of the parasite and their activity was indeed found to be higher in amastigotes. These findings bring a new insight in our understanding of metabolic and energy requirements of the intracellular form of Leishmania. Comparative analysis of the proteome of both developmental stages of the protozoan parasite Leishmania should permit the identification of protein candidates for the development of vaccines and new drugs. 相似文献

To better understand abscisic acid (ABA) regulation of the synthesis of chloroplast proteins in maize (Zea mays L.) in response to drought and light, we compared leaf proteome differences between maize ABA-deficient mutant vp5 and corresponding wild-type Vp5 green and etiolated seedlings exposed to drought stress. Proteins extracted from the leaves of Vp5 and vp5 seedlings were used for two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and subsequent matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). After Coomassie brilliant blue staining, approximately 450 protein spots were reproducibly detected on 2-DE gels. A total of 36 differentially expressed protein spots in response to drought and light were identified using MALDI-TOF MS and their subcellular localization was determined based on the annotation of reviewed accession in UniProt Knowledgebase and the software prediction. As a result, corresponding 13 proteins of the 24 differentially expressed protein spots were definitely localized in chloroplasts and their expression was in an ABA-dependent way, including 6 up-regulated by both drought and light, 5 up-regulated by drought but down-regulated by light, 5 up-regulated by light but down-regulated by drought; 5 proteins down-regulated by drought were mainly those involved in photosynthesis and ATP synthesis. Thus, the results in the present study supported the vital role of ABA in regulating the synthesis of drought- and/or light-induced proteins in maize chloroplasts and would facilitate the functional characterization of ABA-induced chloroplast proteins in C4 plants. 相似文献

Candidate biomarkers in renal cell carcinoma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Although the human genome has been decoded, the knowledge about the pathogenesis of diseases including cancer is still limited. By focusing on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) we here summarize the data of various research groups analyzing the protein/peptide expression profiles of tumor lesions/cell lines or serum obtained from patients and respective controls. Different powerful approaches such as 2-DE, PROTEOMEX/SERPA/SPEARS, and T cell epitope discovery upon elution of MHC class I-bound peptides in combination with MS/LC-MS/MS revealed 500 differentially expressed proteins. The overlap in target recognition limits the pool to 299 unique protein identities, but only few thereof (12%) have been validated. The management, analysis, and interpretation of the distinct data sets derived from 27 publications required bioinformatic restructuring of the results. However, the comprehensive analysis of the results expands the knowledge about the pathophysiology of RCC in particular of the most prominent clear cell subtype by providing information on the differentially expressed proteins, their regulation status in RCC compared to normal kidney epithelium next to additional information on MHC-presented T cell epitopes and on serological targets. Despite the low number of validated differentially expressed proteins some of them might serve as candidate biomarkers for the diagnosis and/or as therapeutic targets. 相似文献

Sepsis is one of the major health problems all over the world. Early diagnostic of sepsis is an attractive strategy to decrease the mortality of septic patients. However, an effective biomarker that fulfills all the necessary requirements for the accurate characterization of sepsis is still unavailable until now. In this study, the 2-DE technique followed by mass spectrometry and a database search was used for searching and identifying the differential expressed proteins in platelets between septic patients and paired healthy controls. Platelet 2-DE profiles of septic patients and paired healthy controls with high resolution and reproducibility were obtained. Differential platelet 2-DE profiles between septic patients and paired healthy controls were established. Differential protein spots between normal healthy volunteers and septic patients from platelet 2-DE profiles were identified by 2-DE followed with mass spectrometry and a database search. Five proteins with increased expression were identified between septic patients and healthy controls from platelet samples. These up-expressed proteins were EF-hand calcium-binding domain-containing protein 7, actin, interleukin-1β, glycoprotein IX, and glycoprotein IIB. Sepsis induces a complex regulation of platelet protein changes. Our study highlights the important role of these differential expressed proteins in sepsis, which deserve further research as potential candidates for therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, our research is beneficial for the future developments of sepsis diagnosis and therapy. 相似文献
