Separation and identification of differential protein in rat's bone with fluorosis and calcium supplementation intervention / 生物工程学报

In order to explore the mechanisms underlying the calcium alleviating fluorosis at protein level, we made an attempt to establish fluorosis and calcium supplementation rat models to isolate and identify bone differential proteins. The bone proteins of different groups were compared by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and analyzed by gene ontology annotation, pathway enrichment and interaction networks. The 17 proteins were identified in the fluorosis group (F) and the fluorosis calcium supplement group (F+Ca), including type I collagen (Col1a1), actin (Actb), protein glutamine transferase 2 (Tgm2), compared with the control group (C). These differential proteins are enriched in 38 bone metabolic pathways such as focal adhesion, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and AMPK signaling pathway. And the functions of these proteins are mainly related to cytoskeleton, energy metabolism, substance transport, ion channel, and apoptosis. Therefore, it is speculated that calcium may alleviate the fluoride-induced bone damage by regulating the focal adhesion, PI3K-Akt, AMPK and other signaling pathway, but the specific mechanism needs further research.

Separation and identification of differential protein in the insect-resistant and insect-susceptible mungbean / 生物工程学报

In order to find the insect-resistant composition and differentially expressed proteins of mungbean, Jinlv No.7, B20 and Weilv 2117 were used as experimental materials, and the differential proteins and functions of mungbean varieties that are resistant and susceptible to bruchids were compared and analyzed by two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and identified by mass spectrometry. Among the samples, 15 protein spots showed a more than 2.5 times reproducible up-regulated, significance 6 of them were successfully identified by the database, and involved three kinds of proteins. They are the alpha and beta subtype 8S globulin, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBis CO) subunits binding protein and the precursor peptide chains for amylase inhibitor and trypsin inhibitor. The protein expressions of B49 (alpha subtype 8S globulin) and B31 (RuBis CO subunits binding protein) of insect-resistant mungbean were 10 000 and 23 times higher than that of insect-susceptible mungbeans. It stunted the growth and even death of the Callosobruchus chinensis L. that alpha and beta subtype 8S globulin and RuBis CO subunits binding protein and precursor peptide chains for amylase inhibitor and trypsin inhibitor of insect-resistant mungbean, the bruchid resistance effect of these three proteins need to further verified in terms of the quantity and the combined effect.
