Screening biomarkers in bone marrow supernatant of multiple myeloma by 2-DE and MALDI-TOF-MS / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the differentially expressed proteins in bone marrow supernatants of multiple myeloma patients by using 2-DE and MALDI-TOF-MS,and search for the special protein markers for studying the mechanism of the development and diagnosis or differential diagnosis of multiple myeloma.Methods The bone marrow supernatant samples of fourteen multiple myeloma patients,five other hematologic malignancies and five normal controls were collected.After removing albumin and IgG,the proteins in the supernatants were separated by 2-DE.Three groups images were analyzed and compared by Imagemnster 2D platinum 5.0 analysis software.Differentially expressed proteins were selected if the protein spots intensity showed more than 3 fold increase or decrease among different groups.The identities of the differentially expressed proteins with good repeatibility were determined by PMF based on by MALDI-TOF-MS or MALDI-TOF-MS/MS and NCBInr database search.Results 2-DE maps of bone marrow supernatants of the three groups could be analyzed and compared by image analysis of software.Forty-seven and fifty-eight differentially expressed protein spots were detected in multiple myeloma samples compared with normal controls and other hematologic malignancies samples,respectively.Forty-one reproducible spots were analyzed and identified by mass spectrum.Compared with other hematologic malignancies and normal controls,five up-expressed proteins and three down-expressed proteins were identified in multiple myeloma samples.They includes immunoglobulin J chain κ and λ light chain,provirus ancestral Gag polyprotein,mature oxy-cope catalytic antibody with hapten for up-expressed proteins,and hemoglobin,haptoglobin Hp2,zinc-alPha-2-glycoprotein for down-expressed proteins.These differentially expressed proteins reflect the features of muhiple myeloma,and relate to the development,progression and therapy of multiple myeloma.Conclusions Eight differentially expressed proteins in bone marrow supernatants of multiple myeloma are identified by using 2-DE and MALDI-TOF-MS.These differentially expressed proteins could be useful in studying the mechanism of the development and progression of multiple myeloma,and in developing diagnosis and differential diagnosis of multiple myeloma.
