In the present study, we screened proteomic and cytokine biomarkers between patients with adenomatous polyps and colorectal cancer (CRC) in order to improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind turmorigenesis and tumor progression in CRC. To this end, we performed comparative proteomic analysis of plasma proteins using a combination of 2DE and MS as well as profiled differentially regulated cytokines and chemokines by multiplex bead analysis. Proteomic analysis identified 11 upregulated and 13 downregulated plasma proteins showing significantly different regulation patterns with diagnostic potential for predicting progression from adenoma to carcinoma. Some of these proteins have not previously been implicated in CRC, including upregulated leucine‐rich α‐2‐glycoprotein, hemoglobin subunit β, Ig α‐2 chain C region, and complement factor B as well as downregulated afamin, zinc‐α‐2‐glycoprotein, vitronectin, and α‐1‐antichymotrypsin. In addition, plasma levels of three cytokines/chemokines, including interleukin‐8, interferon gamma‐induced protein 10, and tumor necrosis factor α, were remarkably elevated in patients with CRC compared to those with adenomatous polyps. Although further clinical validation is required, these proteins and cytokines can be established as novel biomarkers for CRC and/or its progression from colon adenoma.  相似文献

Using multiplexed quantitative proteomics, we analyzed cell cycle‐dependent changes of the human proteome. We identified >4,400 proteins, each with a six‐point abundance profile across the cell cycle. Hypothesizing that proteins with similar abundance profiles are co‐regulated, we clustered the proteins with abundance profiles most similar to known Anaphase‐Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C) substrates to identify additional putative APC/C substrates. This protein profile similarity screening (PPSS) analysis resulted in a shortlist enriched in kinases and kinesins. Biochemical studies on the kinesins confirmed KIFC1, KIF18A, KIF2C, and KIF4A as APC/C substrates. Furthermore, we showed that the APC/CCDH1‐dependent degradation of KIFC1 regulates the bipolar spindle formation and proper cell division. A targeted quantitative proteomics experiment showed that KIFC1 degradation is modulated by a stabilizing CDK1‐dependent phosphorylation site within the degradation motif of KIFC1. The regulation of KIFC1 (de‐)phosphorylation and degradation provides insights into the fidelity and proper ordering of substrate degradation by the APC/C during mitosis.  相似文献

Intramyocardial transplantation of cardiomyocytes (CMs), endothelial cells (ECs), and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) has beneficial effects on the post‐infarction heart. However, the mechanisms underlying the functional improvements remain undefined. We employed large‐scale label‐free quantitative proteomics to identify proteins that were differentially regulated following cellular transplantation in a swine model of myocardial infarction (MI). We identified 22 proteins that were significantly up‐regulated after trilineage cell transplantation compared to both MI and Sham groups. Among them, 12 proteins, including adenylyl cyclase‐associated protein 1 and tropomodulin‐1, are associated with positive regulation of muscular contraction whereas 11 proteins, such as desmoplakin and zyxin, are involved in embryonic and muscular development and regeneration. Moreover, we identified 21 proteins up‐regulated and another 21 down‐regulated in MI, but reversed after trilineage cell transplantation. Proteins up‐regulated after MI but reversed by transplantation are related to fibrosis and apoptosis. Conversely, proteins down‐regulated in MI but restored after cell therapy are regulators of protein nitrosylation. Our results show that the functionally beneficial effects of trilineage cell therapy are accompanied by differential regulation of protein expression in the recipient myocardium, which may contribute to the improved cardiac function.  相似文献

Results obtained from expression profilings of renal cell carcinoma using different “ome”‐based approaches and comprehensive data analysis demonstrated that proteome‐based technologies and cDNA microarray analyses complement each other during the discovery phase for disease‐related candidate biomarkers. The integration of the respective data revealed the uniqueness and complementarities of the different technologies. While comparative cDNA microarray analyses though restricted to up‐regulated targets largely revealed genes involved in controlling gene/protein expression (19%) and signal transduction processes (13%), proteomics/PROTEOMEX‐defined candidate biomarkers include enzymes of the cellular metabolism (36%), transport proteins (12%), and cell motility/structural molecules (10%). Candidate biomarkers defined by proteomics and PROTEOMEX are frequently shared, whereas the sharing rate between cDNA microarray and proteome‐based profilings is limited. Putative candidate biomarkers provide insights into their cellular (dys)function and their diagnostic/prognostic value but still warrant further validation in larger patient numbers. Based on the fact that merely three candidate biomarkers were shared by all applied technologies, namely annexin A4, tubulin α‐1A chain, and ubiquitin carboxyl‐terminal hydrolase L1, the analysis at a single hierarchical level of biological regulation seems to provide only limited results thus emphasizing the importance and benefit of performing rather combinatorial screenings which can complement the standard clinical predictors.  相似文献

Lipid rafts play a key role in the regulation of fundamentally important cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. The composition of such detergent‐resistant microdomains (DRMs) is altered under pathologic conditions, including cancer. Although DRMs have been analyzed in colorectal carcinoma little information exists about their composition upon treatment with targeted drugs. Hence, a quantitative proteomic profiling approach was performed to define alterations within the DRM fraction of colorectal carcinoma cells upon treatment with the drug U0126, an inhibitor of the mitogen‐activated protein kinase pathway. Comparative expression profilings resulted in the identification of 300 proteins, which could partially be linked to key oncogenic signaling pathways and tumor‐related cellular features, such as cell proliferation, adhesion, motility, invasion, and apoptosis resistance. Most of these proteins were downregulated upon inhibitor treatment. In addition, quantitative proteomic profilings of cholesterol‐depleted versus intact lipid rafts were performed to define, which U0126‐regulated target structures represent bona fide raft proteins. Selected differentially abundant raft proteins were validated at the mRNA and/or protein level using U0126‐ or Trametinib‐treated cells. The presented data provide insights into the molecular mechanisms associated with the response to the treatment with MEK inhibitors and might also lead to novel candidates for therapeutic interventions.  相似文献

We previously defined the recently revised NESG1 gene as a potential tumor suppressor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Here, we further used proteomics technology to globally examine NESG1‐controlled proteins in NPC cells. Twenty‐six proteins were found to be deregulated by NESG1 using proteomics analysis while enolase 1 (alpha) (ENO1), heat shock protein 90 kDa beta (Grp94), member 1 (HSP90B1), and cathepsin D (CTSD) proteins were differentially expressed by Western blot. Interestingly, a‐enolase (ENO1), an overexpressed gene in NPC, was confirmed as a NESG1‐regulated protein in NPC cells. Overexpressed ENO1 not only restored cell proliferation and cell‐cycle progression, but also antagonized the regulation of NESG1 to cell‐cycle regulators p21 and CCNA1 expression as well as induced the expression of C‐Myc, pRB, and E2F1 in NESG1‐ovexpressed NPC cells. Real‐time PCR and immunohistochemistry analysis showed that NESG1 expression is negatively correlated with ENO1 expression in NPC tissues. Our observations suggest that ENO1 downregulation plays an important role in NESG1‐induced growth inhibition of NPC cancer cells.  相似文献

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a worldwide health problem and may develop to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular carcinoma. To investigate the global proteome responses of liver‐derived cells to HBV infection and IFNα treatment, 2‐DE and MS‐based analysis were performed to compare the proteome changes between HBV stably transfected cell line HepG2.2.15 and its parental cell line HepG2, as well as HepG2.2.15 before and after IFNα treatment (5000 IU/mL for 72 h). Compared to HepG2, 12 of 18 down‐regulated and 27 of 32 up‐regulated proteins were identified in HepG2.2.15. After IFNα treatment, 6 of 7 down‐regulated and 11 of 14 up‐regulated proteins were identified. Differentially expressed proteins caused by HBV infection were involved with cytoskeletal matrix, heat shock stress, kinases/signal transduction, protease/proteasome components, etc. Prohibitin showed a dose‐dependent up‐regulation during IFNα treatment and might play a potent role in anti‐HBV activities of IFNα by enhancing the crossbinding p53 expression to achieve the apoptosis of HBV infected liver cells. Down‐regulation of interferon‐stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) in HepG2.2.15 and recovery by IFNα suggested its relationship with IFNα's anti‐HBV effect.  相似文献

The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae encodes eight regulators of G‐protein (GTP‐binding protein) signaling (RGS) proteins MoRgs1–MoRgs8 that orchestrate the growth, asexual/sexual production, appressorium differentiation, and pathogenicity. To address the mechanisms by which MoRgs proteins function, we conducted a 2DE proteome study and identified 82 differentially expressed proteins by comparing five ?Morgs mutants with wild‐type Guy11 strain. We found that the abundances of eight amino acid (AA) biosynthesis or degradation associated proteins were markedly altered in five ?Morgs mutants, indicating one of the main collective roles for the MoRgs proteins is to influence AA metabolism. We showed that MoRgs proteins have distinct roles in AA metabolism and nutrient responses from growth assays. In addition, we characterized MoLys20 (Lys is lysine), a homocitrate synthase, whose abundance was significantly decreased in the ?Morgs mutants. The ?Molys20 mutant is auxotrophic for lys and exogenous lys could partially rescue its auxotrophic defects. Deletion of MoLYS20 resulted in defects in conidiation and infection, as well as pathogenicity on rice. Overall, our results indicate that one of the critical roles for MoRgs proteins is to regulate AA metabolism, and that MoLys20 may be directly or indirectly regulated by MoRgs and participated in lys biosynthesis, thereby affecting fungal development and pathogenicity.  相似文献

By a proteomics‐based approach, we identified an overexpression of fascin in colon adenocarcinoma cells (FPCKpP‐3) that developed from nontumorigenic human colonic adenoma cells (FPCK‐1–1) and were converted to tumorigenic by foreign‐body‐induced chronic inflammation in nude mice. Fascin overexpression was also observed in the tumors arising from rat intestinal epithelial cells (IEC 6) converted to tumorigenic in chronic inflammation which was induced in the same manner. Upregulation of fascin expression in FPCK‐1–1 cells by transfection with sense fascin cDNA converted the cells tumorigenic, whereas antisense fascin‐cDNA‐transfected FPCKpP‐3 cells reduced fascin expression and lost their tumor‐forming ability in vivo. The tumorigenic potential by fascin expression was consistent with their ability to survive and grow in the three‐dimensional multicellular spheroids. We found that resistance to anoikis (apoptotic cell death as a consequence of insufficient cell‐to‐substrate interactions), which is represented by the three‐dimensional growth of solid tumors in vivo, was regulated by fascin expression through caspase‐dependent apoptotic signals. From these, we demonstrate that fascin is a potent suppressor to caspase‐associated anoikis and accelerator of the conversion of colonic adenoma cells into adenocarcinoma cells by chronic inflammation.  相似文献

Andrographolide‐lipoic acid conjugate (AL‐1) is a new in‐house synthesized chemical entity, which was derived by covalently linking andrographolide with lipoic acid. However, its anti‐cancer effect and cytotoxic mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we found that AL‐1 could significantly inhibit cell viability of human leukemia K562 cells by inducing G2/M arrest and apoptosis in a dose‐dependent manner. Thirty‐one AL‐1‐regulated protein alterations were identified by proteomics analysis. Gene ontology and ingenuity pathway analysis revealed that a cluster of proteins of oxidative redox state and apoptotic cell death‐related proteins, such as PRDX2, PRDX3, PRDX6, TXNRD1, and GLRX3, were regulated by AL‐1. Functional studies confirmed that AL‐1 induced apoptosis of K562 cells through a ROS‐dependent mechanism, and anti‐oxidant, N‐acetyl‐l ‐cysteine, could completely block AL‐1‐induced cytotoxicity, implicating that ROS generation played a vital role in AL‐1 cytotoxicity. Accumulated ROS resulted in oxidative DNA damage and subsequent G2/M arrest and mitochondrial‐mediated apoptosis. The current work reveals that a novel andrographolide derivative AL‐1 exerts its anticancer cytotoxicity through a ROS‐dependent DNA damage and mitochondrial‐mediated apoptosis mechanism.  相似文献

Here, we describe a proteomics approach to study protein expression changes in differentiating Caco-2 cells. Caco-2 is a colorectal carcinoma cell line, which upon differentiation loses its tumorigenic phenotype and displays characteristics of mature enterocytes, including brush borders with microvilli. Cells were grown in culture flasks and harvested at different stages of differentiation (days post-confluence: -3, 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, and 18). Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to analyse proteome changes. Approximately 1400 protein spots were detected within the Caco-2 proteome, within the pH 4-7 range. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis allowed for the detection of 18 proteins from which the levels of expression were found to be associated with differentiation. Of these proteins, 11 were identified by means of MALDI-TOF or NANO-ESI-MS/MS mass spectrometry and include liver fatty acid binding protein (FABL), three forms of alpha-enolase (ENOA), nucleoside diphosphate kinase A (NDKA), cofilin-1 (COF1), translationally controlled tumour protein (TCTP), mitochondrial 60-kDa heat shock protein (CH60), probable protein disulfide isomerase (ER60), creatine kinase B (KCRB), and glutathione S-transferase alpha (GTA1). Thus, proteomics revealed that the differentiation-related change in phenotype of Caco-2 involves changes in a variety of distinct biochemical pathways. Some of these proteins have not been shown before to be associated with Caco-2 differentiation (ER60; COF1; CH60; NDKA; TCTP and ENOA). Therefore, processes related to protein folding and disulfide bridge formation, cytoskeleton formation and maintenance, nucleotide metabolism, glycolysis as well as tumorigenesis-associated proteins may be involved in Caco-2 differentiation. Changes in the expression of CH60, TCTP, GTA1, NDKA, and FABL have also been reported to be associated with in vivo colon carcinogenesis. These findings illustrate that a combination of proteomics and cell culture is a useful approach to find markers for Caco-2 differentiation, which could contribute to the comprehension of the process of colon carcinogenesis.  相似文献

The main goal of many proteomics experiments is an accurate and rapid quantification and identification of regulated proteins in complex biological samples. The bottleneck in quantitative proteomics remains the availability of efficient software to evaluate and quantify the tremendous amount of mass spectral data acquired during a proteomics project. A new software suite, ICPLQuant, has been developed to accurately quantify isotope‐coded protein label (ICPL)‐labeled peptides on the MS level during LC‐MALDI and peptide mass fingerprint experiments. The tool is able to generate a list of differentially regulated peptide precursors for subsequent MS/MS experiments, minimizing time‐consuming acquisition and interpretation of MS/MS data. ICPLQuant is based on two independent units. Unit 1 performs ICPL multiplex detection and quantification and proposes peptides to be identified by MS/MS. Unit 2 combines MASCOT MS/MS protein identification with the quantitative data and produces a protein/peptide list with all the relevant information accessible for further data mining. The accuracy of quantification, selection of peptides for MS/MS‐identification and the automated output of a protein list of regulated proteins are demonstrated by the comparative analysis of four different mixtures of three proteins (Ovalbumin, Horseradish Peroxidase and Rabbit Albumin) spiked into the complex protein background of the DGPF Proteome Marker.  相似文献

1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase (ACS) is the key enzyme in ethylene biosynthesis, catalyzing the conversion of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to ACC, which is the immediate precursor of ethylene. The regulation of ACS protein stability plays an important role in controlling ethylene biosynthesis. We have recently shown that 14-3-3 positively regulates ACS protein stability by both a direct effect and via downregulation of the stability of the E3 ligases regulating its turnover, Ethylene Overproducer1 (ETO1)/ETO1-like (EOL). Here, we report that treatment of etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings with light rapidly increases the stability of ACS5 protein. In contrast, light destabilizes the ETO1/EOLs proteins, suggesting that light acts to increase ethylene biosynthesis in part through a decrease in the level of the ETO1/EOL proteins. This demonstrates that the ETO1/EOLs are regulated in response to at least one environmental cue and that their regulated degradation may represent a novel input controlling ethylene biosynthesis.  相似文献

Pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is not clear. In this study we aimed to identify proteins involved in NAFLD development in free fatty acids (FFA)‐induced hepatosteatotic cells and in human liver biopsies. Steatosis was induced by incubating a normal human hepatocyte‐derived cell line L‐02 with FFA. Differentially expressed proteins in the steatotic cells were analyzed by two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis‐based proteomics. Involvement of one of the up‐regulated proteins in steatosis was characterized using the RNA interference approach with the steatotic cells. Protein expression levels in liver biopsies of patients with NAFLD were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Proteomic analysis of L‐02 steatotic cells revealed the up‐regulation of ERp57, a condition not previously implicated in NAFLD. Knockdown of ERp57 expression with siRNA significantly reduced fat accumulation in the steatotic cells. ERp57 expression was detected in 16 out of 17 patient biopsies and correlated with inflammation grades or fibrosis stages, while in 5 normal biopsies ERp57 expression was not detectable in hepatocytes. In conclusion, ERp57 was up‐regulated in FFA‐induced steatotic hepatic cells and in NAFLD patient livers and demonstrated steatotic properties in cultured cells. Further investigations are warranted to verify the involvement of ERp57 in NAFLD development. J. Cell. Biochem. 110: 1447–1456, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Primary open‐angle glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, often associated with increased intraocular pressure. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry a specific composition of proteins, lipids and nucleotides have been considered as essential mediators of cell‐cell communication. Their potential impact for crosstalk between tissues responsible for aqueous humour production and out‐flow is largely unknown. The study objective was to investigate the effects of EVs derived from non‐pigmented ciliary epithelium (NPCE) primary cells on the expression of Wnt proteins in a human primary trabecular meshwork (TM) cells and define the mechanism underlying exosome‐mediated regulation that signalling pathway. Consistent with the results in TM cell line, EVs released by both primary NPCE cells and NPCE cell line showed diminished pGSK3β phosphorylation and decreased cytosolic levels of β‐catenin in primary TM cells. At the molecular level, we showed that NPCE exosome treatment downregulated the expression of positive GSKβ regulator‐AKT protein but increased the levels of GSKβ negative regulator‐PP2A protein in TM cells. NPCE exosome protein analysis revealed 584 miRNAs and 182 proteins involved in the regulation of TM cellular processes, including WNT/β‐catenin signalling pathway, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix deposition. We found that negative modulator of Wnt signalling miR‐29b was abundant in NPCE exosomal samples and treatment of TM cells with NPCE EVs significantly decreased COL3A1 expression. Suggesting that miR‐29b can be responsible for decreased levels of WNT/β‐catenin pathway. Overall, this study highlights a potential role of EVs derived from NPCE cells in modulating ECM proteins and TM canonical Wnt signalling.  相似文献

Experiments were conducted to identify the differentially expressed proteins in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants after treatment with the glycoprotein elicitor CSB I, purified from ZC13, a race of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea. The interactions of two near isogenic lines of rice, C101A51 and CO39, with ZC13 resulted in completely incompatible and compatible types, respectively. Proteins were extracted from rice leaves at 12 and 24 h after treatment with CSB I. Temporal changes in total proteins were examined using 2‐DE. Among more than 900 protein spots reproducibly detected on each gel, 11 were up‐regulated, three were down‐regulated and seven were newly induced during, at a minimum, one time point. Twenty‐one differentially expressed proteins were identified by linear ion trap quadrupole (LTQ)‐MS/MS. The identified proteins were classified into six categories based on their putative function reported: (i) defense proteins (PR‐10a, PR‐5 and putative salt‐induced protein), (ii) signal transduction (nucleoside diphosphate kinase and putative profilin), (iii) ROS (Mn‐SOD, Cu/Zn‐SOD, GST and CAT), (iv) programmed cell death (translationally controlled tumor protein), (v) molecule biosynthesis (putative ribosomal protein S5, putative ribosomal protein L12, putative translational elongation factor Tu and putative chaperonin 21 precursor) and (vi) metabolism (putative fructose‐bisphosphate aldolase class‐I, putative malate dehydrogenase, cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase, putative acid phosphatase, putative transketolase1 and gamma hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase‐like protein). All of these proteins (except Cu/Zn‐SOD, putative acid phosphatase and translationally controlled tumor protein) were induced faster and to a higher degree in C101A51 than in CO39. These data suggest that the incompatible rice line may possess a more sensitive recognition system that can identify and react to specific chemical, biological or physical triggers in a more efficient manner, thus eliciting an early and fast defense response.  相似文献

In this study, a quantitative comparative proteomics approach has been used to analyze the Dictyostelium discoideum mitochondrial proteome variations during vegetative growth, starvation and the early stages of development. Application of 2‐D DIGE technology allowed the detection of around 2000 protein spots on each 2‐D gel with 180 proteins exhibiting significant changes in their expression level. In total, 96 proteins (51 unique and 45 redundant) were unambiguously identified. We show that the D. discoideum mitochondrial proteome adaptations mainly affect energy metabolism enzymes (the Krebs cycle, anaplerotic pathways, the oxidative phosphorylation system and energy dissipation), proteins involved in developmental and signaling processes as well as in protein biosynthesis and fate. The most striking observations were the opposite regulation of expression of citrate synthase and aconitase and the very large variation in the expression of the alternative oxidase that highlighted the importance of citrate and alternative oxidase in the physiology of the development of D. discoideum. Mitochondrial energy states measured in vivo with MitoTracker Orange CM?Ros showed an increase in mitochondrial membrane polarization during D. discoideum starvation and starvation‐induced development.  相似文献
