To better understand the mechanism underlying hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasis and to search for potential markers for HCC prognosis, differential proteome analysis on two HCC cell strains with high and low metastatic potentials, MHCC97-H and MHCC97-L, was conducted using two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/time of flight mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography ion trap mass spectrometry. Image analysis of silver-stained 2-D gels revealed that 56 protein spots showed significant differential expression in MHCC97-H and MHCC97-L cells (Student's t-test, P < 0.05) and 4 protein spots were only detected in MHCC97-H cells. Fourteen protein spots were further identified using in-gel tryptic digestion, peptide mass fingerprinting and tandem mass spectrometry. The expressions of pyruvate kinase M2, ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1, laminin receptor 67 kDa, S100 calcium-binding protein A4, thioredoxin and cytokeratin 19 were elevated in MHCC97-H cells. However, manganese superoxide dismutase, calreticulin precursor, cathepsin D, lactate dehydrogenase B, non-metastatic cell protein 1, cofilin 1 and calumenin precursor were down-regulated in MHCC97-H cells. Intriguingly, most of these identified proteins have been reported to be associated with tumor metastasis. The functional implications of alterations in the levels of these proteins are discussed. 相似文献

The x protein of HBV (HBx) has been involved in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with a possible link to individual genotypes. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism remains obscure. In this study, we aim to identify the HBx-induced protein profile in HepG2 cells by LC-MS/MS proteomics analysis. Our results indicated that proteins were differentially expressed in HepG2 cells transfected by HBx of various genotypes. Proteins associated with cytoskeleton were found to be either up-regulated (MACF1, HMGB1, Annexin A2) or down-regulated (Lamin A/C). These may in turn result in the decrease of focal adhesion and increase of cell migration in response to HBx. Levels of other cellular proteins with reported impact on the function of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and cell migration, including Ca2+-binding proteins (S100A11, S100A6, and S100A4) and proteasome protein (PSMA3), were affected by HBx. The differential protein profile identified in this study was also supported by our functional assay which indicated that cell migration was enhanced by HBx. Our preliminary study provided a new platform to establish a comprehensive cellular protein profile by LC-MS/MS proteomics analysis. Further downstream functional assays, including our reported cell migration assay, should provide new insights in the association between HCC and HBx. 相似文献

Genetic or biochemical abnormalities in mitochondria are closely associated with apoptosis, aging, cancer, and other chronic degenerative diseases. Mitochondrial dysfunction resulting from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion dispatches retrograde signals to the nucleus to compensate by altering the expression of various genes. In this study, a proteomic approach was used to gain insight into the nuclear gene targets of mitochondrial stress signaling and the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. We have used 2-DE to characterize the nuclear gene responses resulting from mtDNA depletion in L6 GLUT4myc myocytes. Our results showed that 77 polypeptides were differentially expressed in mtDNA-depleted cells; 33 polypeptides were down-regulated and 44 polypeptides were up-regulated. Of these differentially expressed polypeptides, 40 were identified as 36 different proteins by MALDI-TOF MS. These proteins are related to various cellular responses, such as apoptosis, cellular metabolism, signaling and cytoskeleton functions. It is suggested that the insulin resistance developed in mtDNA-depleted myocytes may be associated with disorganization of cytoskeleton assembly, and that cellular mtDNA depletion might promote the ability to evade apoptosis or other death effectors. 相似文献

Exosomes are deliverers of critically functional proteins, capable of transforming target cells in numerous cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We hypothesize that the motility of HCC cells can be featured by comparative proteome of exosomes. Hence, we performed the super‐SILAC‐based MS analysis on the exosomes secreted by three human HCC cell lines, including the non‐motile Hep3B cell, and the motile 97H and LM3 cells. More than 1400 exosomal proteins were confidently quantified in each MS analysis with highly biological reproducibility. We justified that 469 and 443 exosomal proteins represented differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the 97H/Hep3B and LM3/Hep3B comparisons, respectively. These DEPs focused on sugar metabolism‐centric canonical pathways per ingenuity pathway analysis, which was consistent with the gene ontology analysis on biological process enrichment. These pathways included glycolysis I, gluconeogenesis I and pentose phosphate pathways; and the DEPs enriched in these pathways could form a tightly connected network. By analyzing the relative abundance of proteins and translating mRNAs, we found significantly positive correlation between exosomes and cells. The involved exosomal proteins were again focusing on sugar metabolism. In conclusion, motile HCC cells tend to preferentially export more sugar metabolism‐associated proteins via exosomes that differentiate them from non‐motile HCC cells. 相似文献

Nucleostemin (NS) is a GTP-binding protein that is predominantly expressed in embryonic and adult stem cells but not in terminally differentiated cells. NS plays an essential role in maintaining the continuous proliferation of stem cells and some types of cancer cells. However, the role of NS in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the role of NS in HCC. First, we demonstrated high expression of NS in most HCC cell lines and liver cancer tissues. NS knockdown induced a severe decline in cell viability of MHCC97H cells as detected by MTT and cell proliferation assays. Next, we used ultraviolet (UV) and serum starvation-induced apoptosis models to investigate whether NS suppression or up-regulation affects HCC cell apoptosis. After UV treatment or serum starvation, apoptosis was strongly enhanced in MHCC97H and Bel7402 cells transfected with small interfering RNA against NS, whereas NS overexpression inhibited UV- and serum-induced apoptosis of HCC cells. Furthermore, after UV irradiation, inhibition of NS increased the expression of pro-apoptosis protein caspase 3 and decreased the expression of anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2. A caspase 3 inhibitor could obviously prevent NS knockdown-induced apoptosis. In conclusion, our study demonstrated overexpression of NS in most HCC tissues compared with their matched surrounding tissues, and silencing NS promoted UV- and serum starvation-induced apoptosis of MHCC97H and Bel7402 cells. Therefore, the NS gene might be a potential therapeutic target of HCC. 相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death throughout the world. Although hepatitis B or C viral infections are main risk factors for HCC, the molecular mechanisms leading to HCC formation have not been clarified. To reduce the mortality and improve the effectiveness of therapy, it is important to search for changes in tumor-specific biomarkers whose function may involve in disease progression and which may be useful as potential therapeutic targets. In this study, we employed two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) combined with nano flow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) to investigate differentially expressed proteins in HCC. For each of eight HCC patients, Cy3-labeled proteins isolated from tumor tissue were combined with Cy5-labeled proteins isolated from the surrounding nontumor tissue and separated by 2D gel electrophoresis along with a Cy2-labeled mixture of all tumor and nontumor samples as an internal standard. Thirty-four protein spots corresponding to 30 different proteins were identified by nanoLC-MS/MS as showing significant change (paired t-test, p < 0.05) in the level of expression between tumor and nontumor tissues. Sixteen proteins were up-regulated and 14 were down-regulated in HCC; they seem to play important roles in a variety of pathways including glycolysis, fatty acid transport and trafficking, amino acid metabolism, iron and xenobiotic metabolism, ethanol metabolism, cell cycle regulation, cytoskeleton, and stress. A remarkable finding is the up-regulation of 14-3-3gamma protein in HCC. 14-3-3 isoforms had been linked to carcinogenesis because they are involved in various cellular processes such as cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation. In conclusion, 2D-DIGE is an efficient strategy that enables us to identify differentially expressed proteins in HCC. Identification of potential biomarkers, such as the pinpointing of 14-3-3gamma in our findings, may provide further useful insights into the pathogenesis of HCC. 相似文献

Potential biological markers for cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease were identified by comparative proteomics profiling of nasal cells from deletion of phenylalanine residue 508 (F508del)-homozygous CF patients and non-CF controls. From the non-CF 2-DE gels, 65 spots were identified by MS, and a reference 2-DE map was thus established. The majority of those correspond to ubiquitously expressed proteins. Consistent with the epithelial origin of this tissue, some of the identified proteins are epithelial markers (e.g. cytokeratins, palate lung and nasal epithelium clone protein (PLUNC), and squamous cell carcinoma antigen 1). Comparison of this protein profile with the one similarly obtained for CF nasal cells revealed a set of differentially expressed proteins. These included proteins related to chronic inflammation and some others involved in oxidative stress injury. Alterations were also observed in the levels of cytoskeleton proteins, being probably implicated with cytoskeleton organization changes described to occur in CF-airways. Lower levels were found for some mitochondrial proteins suggesting an altered mitochondrial metabolism in CF. Differential expression was also found for two more enzymes that have not been previously associated to CF. Further studies will clarify the involvement of such proteins in CF pathophysiology and whether they are targets for CF therapy. 相似文献

Backgroundc-Met, a high-affinity receptor for Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), plays a critical role in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with activated HGF/c-Met signaling have a significantly worse prognosis. Targeted therapies using c-Met tyrosine kinase inhibitors are currently in clinical trials for HCC, although receptor tyrosine kinase inhibition in other cancers has demonstrated early success. Unfortunately, therapeutic effect is frequently not durable due to acquired resistance.MethodsWe utilized the human MHCC97-H c-Met positive (c-Met+) HCC cell line to explore the compensatory survival mechanisms that are acquired after c-Met inhibition. MHCC97-H cells with stable c-Met knockdown (MHCC97-H c-Met KD cells) were generated using a c-Met shRNA vector with puromycin selection and stably transfected scrambled shRNA as a control. Gene expression profiling was conducted, and protein expression was analyzed to characterize MHCC97-H cells after blockade of the c-Met oncogene. A high-throughput siRNA screen was performed to find putative compensatory survival proteins, which could drive HCC growth in the absence of c-Met. Findings from this screen were validated through subsequent analyses.ResultsWe have previously demonstrated that treatment of MHCC97-H cells with a c-Met inhibitor, PHA665752, results in stasis of tumor growth in vivo. MHCC97-H c-Met KD cells demonstrate slower growth kinetics, similar to c-Met inhibitor treated tumors. Using gene expression profiling and siRNA screening against 873 kinases and phosphatases, we identified ErbB3 and TGF-α as compensatory survival factors that are upregulated after c-Met inhibition. Suppressing these factors in c-Met KD MHCC97-H cells suppresses tumor growth in vitro. In addition, we found that the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway serves as a negative feedback signal responsible for the ErbB3 upregulation after c-Met inhibition. Furthermore, in vitro studies demonstrate that combination therapy with PHA665752 and Gefitinib (an EGFR inhibitor) significantly reduced cell viability and increased apoptosis compared with either PHA665752 or Gefitinib treatment alone.Conclusionc-Met inhibition monotherapy is not sufficient to eliminate c-Met+ HCC tumor growth. Inhibition of both c-Met and EGFR oncogenic pathways provides superior suppression of HCC tumor growth. Thus, combination of c-Met and EGFR inhibition may represent a superior therapeutic regimen for c-Met+ HCC. 相似文献

The hypothalamus is the central regulatory unit that balances a number of body functions including metabolic rate, hunger, and satiety signals. Hypothalamic neurons monitor and respond to alterations of circulating nutrients and hormones that reflect the peripheral energy status. These extracellular signals are integrated within the cell at the ATP:AMP ratio and at the level of ROS, triggering gene expression associated with glucose and lipid metabolism. In order to identify new molecular factors potentially associated with the control of energy homeostasis, metabolic adaptation, and regulation of feed intake, hypothalami from ad libitum fed and energy restricted cows were characterized using 2-DE and MALDI-TOF-MS. Among 189 different protein spots identified, nine proteins were found to be differentially expressed between groups. Beside the 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase/IMP cyclohydrolase, stress-induced phosphoprotein-1, heat shock protein 70 kDa-protein-5, dihydropyrimidinase-related protein-2, [Cu-Zn]-superoxide dismutase, ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase-L1, and inorganic pyrophosphatase were found to be up-regulated, whereas glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and aconitase-2 were down-regulated in the restricted group. In conclusion, differentially expressed proteins are related to energy and nucleotide metabolism and cellular stress under conditions of dietary energy deficiency. These proteins may be new candidate molecules that are potentially involved in signaling for maintaining energy homeostasis. 相似文献

Epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TALH cells) play a major role in the urinary concentrating mechanism. They are normally exposed to variable and often very high osmotic stress, which is particularly due to high sodium and chloride reabsorption and very low water permeability of the luminal membrane. It is already established that elevation of the activity of aldose reductase and hence an increase in intracellular sorbitol are indispensable for the osmotic adaptation and stability of the TALH cells. To identify new molecular factors potentially associated with the osmotic stress-resistant phenotype in kidney cells, TALH cells exhibiting low or high levels of resistance to osmotic stress were characterized using proteomic tools. Two-dimensional gel analysis showed a total number of 40 proteins that were differentially expressed in TALH cells under osmotic stress. Twenty-five proteins were overexpressed, whereas 15 proteins showed a down-regulation. Besides the sorbitol pathway enzyme aldose reductase, whose expression was 15 times increased, many other metabolic enzymes like glutathione S-transferase, malate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, alpha enolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and triose-phosphate isomerase were up-regulated. Among the cytoskeleton proteins and cytoskeleton-associated proteins vimentin, cytokeratin, tropomyosin 4, and annexins I, II, and V were up-regulated, whereas tubulin and tropomyosins 1, 2, and 3 were down-regulated. The heat shock proteins alpha-crystallin chain B, HSP70, and HSP90 were found to be overexpressed. In contrast to the results in oxidative stress the endoplasmic reticulum stress proteins like glucose-regulated proteins (GRP78, GRP94, and GRP96), calreticulin, and protein-disulfide isomerase were down-regulated under hypertonic stress. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to use proteomics-based approach to examine differences in protein expression in placenta derived from assisted reproductive technology (ART) and normal pregnancy. Using 2-DE we found that, compared with the control group, 12 spots in standard in vitro fertilization group and 18 spots in intracytoplasmic sperm injection group were identified as significantly differentially expressed proteins. Among them, six spots were differentially expressed in both standard IVF and ICSI groups with the same change tendency. Totally, 20 proteins were successfully identified by MALDI TOF/TOF MS, including proteins involved in the membrane traffic, metabolism, nucleic acid processing, stress response and cytoskeleton. Notably, five proteins detected to be differentially expressed in both ART groups were identified as annexin A3, hnRNP C1/C2, alpha-SNAP, FTL and ATP5A. Some of the proteins were confirmed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry analysis. Our study allowed for the initial identification of these proteins related to various functions in placentation with significantly altered abundance in ART groups. The present results reveal that abnormal protein profiles are involved in ART placenta and these differentially expressed proteins may be valuable for the evaluation of potential association between ART treatment and offspring outcome. 相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the deadliest cancers with few treatment options. It is a hypervascular tumor in which angiogenesis plays a critical role in its progression. Tumor capillary endothelial cells (TECs) in HCC are known to originate from liver sinusoid endothelial cells, which then go through a capillarization process to become morphologically as well as functionally different TECs. In this work, we investigated proteins differentially expressed between freshly isolated TECs and sinusoid endothelial cells from well‐formed rat HCC using 2‐D DIGE coupled with MALDI‐TOF/TOF MS. Thirty‐eight unique proteins were identified to be differentially expressed more than twofold between the two endothelial cell types. Amongst the differentially expressed proteins, two novel endothelial markers, EH domain‐containing protein 3 and galectin‐3, were confirmed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry in both rat and human HCC samples. We showed that EH domain‐containing protein 3 is significantly down‐regulated in TECs, but galectin‐3 is up‐regulated. We propose possible roles of these two proteins in tumor vessel development in HCC. 相似文献

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of neuronal degenerative diseases that primarily affect children. Previously we hypothesized that the similarity of the phenotypes among the variant subtypes of NCL suggests that the NCLs share a common metabolic functional pathway. To test our hypothesis, we have studied several candidate proteins identified using a proteomic approach. We analyzed their differential expression and cataloged their functions and involved pathways. Forty protein peaks, differentially expressed in NCLs, were selected from two-dimensional protein fragmentation (PF2D) maps and twenty-four proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS or LC-ESI-MS/MS. Six proteins were verified by further Western blotting. Our results showed that annexin A1, annexin A2, and vimentin were significantly down-regulated in NCL1, NCL2, NCL3, and NCL8 cells; galectin-1 was down-regulated in NCL1, NCL3, and NCL8 but up-regulated in NCL2 cells; and isoform 5 of caldesmon was up-regulated in all NCL cell types. The histone 2B was down-regulated in NCL3. Functional analysis showed that the differentially expressed proteins identified by PF2D could be grouped into categories of intermediate filaments, cell motility, apoptosis, cytoskeleton, membrane trafficking, calcium binding, nucleosome assembly, pigment granule and cell development. Immunocytochemistry revealed nuclear translocalization of annexin A1 in CLN2-deficient fibroblasts and abnormal distribution of L-caldesmon in cultured CLN1, CLN2, CLN3 and CLN8-deficient fibroblasts. Finding differentially expressed proteins in variant NCLs, which showed disturbances of cytoskeleton, RAGE-dependent cellular pathways and decreased glycolysis provides evidence supporting our hypothesis. These findings may contribute to the discovery of molecular biomarkers and may help further elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms underlying the NCLs. 相似文献

To better understand the mechanism underlying the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasis and to search potential markers for HCC prognosis, differential proteomic analysis on two well-established HCC cell strains with high and low metastatic potentials, MHCC97-H and MHCC97-L, was conducted using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Cytokeratin 19 (CK19) was identified and found to be overexpressed in MHCC97-H as compared with MHCC97-L. This result was further confirmed by two-dimensional Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence assay. Furthermore, one-dimensional Western blot analysis showed consistently increased CK19 expression in progressively more metastatic cells. Immunohistochemical study on 102 human HCC specimens revealed that more patients in the CK19-positive group had overt intrahepatic metastases (satellite nodules, p < 0.05; vascular tumor emboli, p < 0.001; tumor node metastatis staging, p < 0.001). CK19 fragment CYFRA 21-1 levels measured in sera from nude mice model of human HCC metastasis with radioimmunoassay increased in parallel with tumor progression and rose remarkably when pulmonary metastases occurred. The results demonstrated that overexpression of CK19 in HCC cells is related to metastatic behavior. Serum CK19 level might reflect the pathological progression in some HCC and may be a useful marker for predicting tumor metastasis and a therapeutic target for the treatment of HCC patients with metastases. 相似文献

Cold-induced sweetening is one of the major factors limiting the quality of fried potato products. To understand the mechanisms of protein regulation for cold-induced sweetening in potato tubers, a comparative proteomic approach was used to analyse the differentially expressed proteins both during control (25 °C, 30 days) and cold treatment (4 °C, 30 days) using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Quantitative image analyses indicated that there were 25 protein spots with their intensities significantly altered more than twofold. Of these proteins, 9 were up-regulated, 13 were down-regulated, 2 were absent, and 1 was induced in the cold-stored tubers. The MALDI-TOF/TOF MS analyses led to the identification of differentially expressed proteins that are involved in several processes and might work cooperatively to maintain metabolic homeostasis in tubers during low-temperature storage. The preponderance of metabolic proteins reflects the inhibition of starch re-synthesis and the accumulation of sugars in carbon fluxes, linking starch–sugar conversion. The respiration-related proteins suggest the transfer of respiratory activity from aerobic respiration to anaerobic respiration in the cold-stored tubers. The proteins associated with defence appear to protect the tuber cells from low-temperature stress. Some heat shock proteins that act as chaperones also displayed a differential expression pattern, suggesting a potentially important role in cold-stored tubers, although their exact contribution remains to be investigated. The proposed hypothetical model might explain the interaction of these differentially expressed proteins that are associated with cold-induced sweetening in tubers. 相似文献
