ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the comparative proteomes difference of PBMC between health adults and Parkinson Disease(PD) patients with Ganyang Huafeng syndrome and Xuexu Shengfeng syndrome.So to approach the essence of the two TCM syndromes from the protein expression level.Methods A series of methods,including immobilolized pH gradient two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophpresis(2-DE),Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining,PDQuest 2-DE analysis software,peptide massfingerprint based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flying mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS) and SWISS-PROT database searching,were used to separate and indentify the proteome of PBMC between health adults and PD patients with Ganyang Huafeng syndrome and Xuexu Shengfeng syndrome.Results The good 2-DE pattern including resolution and reproducibility was obtained.After Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining,15 spots were incised and analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS.The typic peptide masses were searched in the SWISS-PROT database by Mascot software.All proteins were preliminarily identified,which ralated to cytoskeleton,anti-oxidative stress,protein degradation,signal transduction and cell cycle,etc.Conclusions The well-resolved,reproducible 2-DE patterns of Ganyang Huafeng syndrome and Xuexu Shengfeng syndrome PD were established and revealed the protein expression difference of PBMC between the two syndromes of PD patients.This research is helpful to provide substance evidence in investigation of the essence of Ganyang Huafeng syndrome and Xuexu Shengfeng syndrome on protein level.
