Proteome analysis of human colon cancer by two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry

Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) was used to investigate tumor-specific changes in the proteome of human colorectal cancers and adjacent normal mucosa. For each of six patients with different stages of colon cancer, Cy5-labeled proteins isolated from tumor tissue were combined with Cy3-labeled proteins isolated from neighboring normal mucosa and separated on the same 2-D gel along with a Cy2-labeled mixture of all 12 normal/tumor samples as an internal standard. Over 1500 protein spot-features were analyzed in each paired normal/tumor comparison, and using DIGE technology with the mixed-sample internal standard, statistically significant quantitative comparisons of each protein abundance change could be made across multiple samples simultaneously without interference due to gel-to-gel variation. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) and tandem (TOF/TOF) MS provided sensitive and accurate mass spectral data for database interrogation, resulting in the identification of 52 unique proteins (including redundancies due to proteolysis and post-translationally modified isoforms) that were changing in abundance across the cohort. Without the benefit of the Cy2-labeled 12 sample mixture internal standard, 42 of these proteins would have been overlooked due to the large degree of variation inherent between normal and tumor samples.     

Proteomic analysis of individual variation in normal livers of human beings using difference gel electrophoresis

Normal Chinese Liver Proteome Expression Profile is one of the major parts of Human Liver Proteome Project. Before starting the studies, it is necessary to examine the interindividual variation of normal liver proteome and evaluate the minimal size of samples for proteomic analysis. In this study, normal liver samples from ten individual volunteers were collected and the proteome profiles of these samples were analyzed using 2-D difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) combined with MALDI-TOF/TOF MS. The individual liver tissue lysates were labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 while the pooled sample was labeled with Cy2 as an internal standard, which minimized gel-to-gel variation. After analysis by the DeCyder software, up to 2056 protein spots were detected on the master gel. The CV of standardized abundance was calculated for the protein spots that were matched across all ten gels. The CV values of these protein spots ranged from 6.4 to 108.5% and the median CV was approximately 19%, which demonstrated that the protein expression of normal liver among different individuals was relatively stable. The eight proteins with CV values over 50% were identified which would be a caveat when considering these proteins as potential disease-related markers. Moreover, the one-way ANOVA feature showed a correlation between sample size and individual variations. The results showed that when the sample size exceeded 7, the individual variations were not significant to the whole pool. Our results are an important basis for liver protein expression profiles and comparative proteomics of liver disease.     

A novel experimental design for comparative two-dimensional gel analysis: two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis incorporating a pooled internal standard

The comparison of two-dimensional (2-D) gel images from different samples is an established method used to study differences in protein expression. Conventional methods rely on comparing images from at least 2 different gels. Due to the high variation between gels, detection and quantification of protein differences can be problematic. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (Ettan trade mark DIGE) is an emerging technique for comparative proteomics, which improves the reproducibility and reliability of differential protein expression analysis between samples. In the application of DIGE different samples are labelled with mass and charge matched spectrally resolvable fluorescent dyes and are then separated on the same 2-D gel. Using an Escherichia coli lysate "spiked" with varying amounts of four different known proteins, we have tested a novel experimental design that exploits the sample multiplexing capabilities of DIGE, by including a standard sample in each gel. The standard sample comprises equal amounts of each sample to be compared and was found to improve the accuracy of protein quantification between samples from different gels allowing accurate detection of small differences in protein levels between samples.     

Evaluation of two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis for protein profiling. Soluble proteins of the marine bacterium Pirellula sp. strain 1

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) is a central tool of proteome research, since it allows separation of complex protein mixtures at highest resolution. Quantification of gene expression at the protein level requires sensitive visualization of protein spots over a wide linear range. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE) is a new fluorescent technique for protein labeling in 2DE gels. Proteins are labeled prior to electrophoresis with fluorescent CyDyes trade mark and differently labeled samples are then co-separated on the same 2DE gel. We evaluated 2D DIGE for detection and quantification of proteins specific for glucose or N-acetylglucosamine metabolism in the marine bacterium Pirellula sp. strain 1. The experiment was based on 10 parallel 2DE gels. Detection and comparison of the protein spots were performed with the DeCyder trade mark software that uses an internal standard to quantify differences in protein abundance with high statistical confidence; 24 proteins differing in abundance by a factor of at least 1.5 (t test value <10(-9)) were identified. For comparison, another experiment was carried out with four SYPRO-Ruby-stained 2DE gels for each of the two growth conditions; image analysis was done with the ImageMaster trade mark 2D Elite software. Sensitivity of the CyDye fluors was evaluated by comparing Cy2, Cy3, Cy5, SYPRO Ruby, silver, and colloidal Coomassie staining. Three replicate gels, each loaded with 50 microg of protein, were run for each stain and the gels were analyzed with the ImageMaster software. Labeling with CyDyes allowed detection of almost as many protein spots as staining with silver or SYPRO Ruby.     

Evaluation of the combination of bead technology with SELDI-TOF-MS and 2-D DIGE for detection of plasma proteins

Today biomarker discovery is one of the most active aspects of proteomic investigations. However, the wide dynamic range of plasma proteins makes the analysis very challenging because high abundance proteins tend to mask those of lower abundance. Using a large bead-based library of combinatorial peptide ligands (Equalizer beads or ProteoMiner), the dynamic range of the protein concentration is compressed, the high abundance proteins present in the sample are reduced and the low abundance proteins are enriched, while retaining representatives of all proteins within the sample. In the present study, the combination of beads with surface enhanced laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) and two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) technology were evaluated considering efficiency, reproducibility, sensitivity, and compatibility. The bead technology is easily compatible with both SELDI-TOF-MS and 2-D DIGE and the samples can be analyzed directly without any processing of the sample. The use of the beads prior SELDI-TOF-MS and 2-D DIGE enabled detection of many new protein spots/peaks and increased resolution and improved intensity of low abundance proteins in a reproducible fashion compared with the depletion technique. Several proteins have been identified by the combination of beads, 2-D DIGE and MS for example different kinds of complement factors and cytoskeletal proteins. Our data suggest that integration of the bead technology with our current proteomic technologies will enhance the possibility to deliver new peptide/protein biomarker candidates in our projects.     

Holistic differential analysis of embryo-induced alterations in the proteome of bovine endometrium in the preattachment period

During the peri-implantation period, molecular signaling between embryo and endometrium (layer of tissue lining the uterus lumen) is supposed to be crucial for the maintenance of pregnancy. To investigate embryo-induced alterations in the proteome of bovine endometrium in the preattachment period (day 18), we used monozygotic cattle twins (generated by embryo splitting) as a model eliminating genetic variability as a source for proteome differences. One of the twins was pregnant after the transfer of two in vitro produced blastocysts, while the corresponding twin received a sham-transfer and served as a nonpregnant control. The two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) analysis of the endometrium samples of three twin pairs (pregnant/nonpregnant) revealed four proteins with significantly higher abundance (p < 10(-9)) in each sample derived from the pregnant animals: Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor beta; 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20 alpha-HSD); soluble NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 1; and acyl-CoA-binding protein. To verify the accuracy of the 2-D DIGE quantification, the abundances of 20 alpha-HSD were quantified by a targeted cleavable isotope-coded affinity tag (ICAT) approach. The mass spectrometry-based ICAT quantification matched perfectly the results obtained by 2-D DIGE quantification, demonstrating the accuracy of our data. These results demonstrate that our model (monozygotic twins) in combination with the appropriate analytical tools is particularly suitable for the detection of the proteins involved in the embryo-maternal interactions.     

Evaluation of two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis for proteomic expression analysis of a model breast cancer cell system

The technique of fluorescent two-dimensional (2D) difference gel electrophoresis for differential protein expression analysis has been evaluated using a model breast cancer cell system of ErbB-2 overexpression. Labeling of paired cell lysate samples with N-hydroxy succinimidyl ester-derivatives of fluorescent Cy3 and Cy5 dyes for separation on the same 2D gel enabled quantitative, sensitive, and reproducible differential expression analysis of the cell lines. SyproRuby staining was shown to be a highly sensitive and 2D difference gel electrophoresis-compatible method for post-electrophoretic visualization of proteins, which could then be picked and identified by matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization mass spectroscopy. Indeed, from these experiments, we have identified multiple proteins that are likely to be involved in ErbB-2-mediated transformation. A triple dye labeling methodology was used to identify proteins differentially expressed in the cell system over a time course of growth factor stimulation. A Cy2-labeled pool of samples was used as a standard with all Cy3- and Cy5-labeled sample pairs to facilitate cross-gel quantitative analysis. DeCyder (Amersham Biosciences, Inc.) software was used to distinguish clear statistical differences in protein expression over time and between the cell lines.     

Selective Labelling of Cell-surface Proteins using CyDye DIGE Fluor Minimal Dyes

Surface proteins are central to the cell''s ability to react to its environment and to interact with neighboring cells. They are known to be inducers of almost all intracellular signaling. Moreover, they play an important role in environmental adaptation and drug treatment, and are often involved in disease pathogenesis and pathology (1). Protein-protein interactions are intrinsic to signaling pathways, and to gain more insight in these complex biological processes, sensitive and reliable methods are needed for studying cell surface proteins. Two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis is used extensively for detection of biomarkers and other targets in complex protein samples to study differential changes. Cell surface proteins, partly due to their low abundance (1 2% of cellular proteins), are difficult to detect in a 2-D gel without fractionation or some other type of enrichment. They are also often poorly represented in 2-D gels due to their hydrophobic nature and high molecular weight (2). In this study, we present a new protocol for intact cells using CyDye DIGE Fluor minimal dyes for specific labeling and detection of this important group of proteins. The results showed specific labeling of a large number of cell surface proteins with minimal labeling of intracellular proteins. This protocol is rapid, simple to use, and all three CyDye DIGE Fluor minimal dyes (Cy 2, Cy 3 and Cy 5) can be used to label cell-surface proteins. These features allow for multiplexing using the 2-D Fluorescence Difference Gel Electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) with Ettan DIGE technology and analysis of protein expression changes using DeCyder 2-D Differential Analysis Software. The level of cell-surface proteins was followed during serum starvation of CHO cells for various lengths of time (see Table 1). Small changes in abundance were detected with high accuracy, and results are supported by defined statistical methods.Open in a separate windowClick here to view.^{(76M, flv)}
