ABSTRACT

The proteome analysis by 2-DE is one of the most potent methods of analyzing the complete proteome of cells, cell lines, organs and tissues in proteomics studies. It allows a fast overview of changes in cell processes by analysis of the entire protein extracts in any biological and medical research projects. New instrumentation and advanced technologies provide proteomics studies in a wide variety of biological and biomedical questions. Proteomics work is being applied to study antibiotics-resistant strains and human tissues of various brain, lung, and heart diseases. It cumulated in the identification of antigens for the design of new vaccines. These advances in proteomics have been possible through the development of advanced high-resolution 2-DE systems allowing resolution of up to 10 000 protein spots of entire cell lysates in combination with protein identification by new highly sensitive mass spectrometric techniques. The present technological achievements are suited for a high throughput screening of different cell situations. Proteomics may be used to investigate the health effects of radiation and electromagnetic field to clarify possible dangerous alterations in human beings.

ABSTRACT

For the purification of a target protein, liquid chromatography is the method of choice, if its activity has to be maintained. The selection of optimum parameters will improve in proportion to the number of individual parameters varied in initial experiments. Here a fast screening method is described, which utilizes automated parallel chromatographic experiments in the batch mode in 96-well plates. The principle of this protein-purification-parameter screening (PPS) system is demonstrated with a mixture of four proteins. An application of PPS for the determination of a purification step of an angiotensin-II-generating enzyme from a crude tissue extract is shown.

ABSTRACT

The 60S ribosomal proteins were isolated from ribosomes of human placenta and separated by reversed phase HPLC. The fractions obtained were subjected to trypsin and Glu-C digestion and analyzed by mass fingerprinting (MALDI-TOF), MS/MS (ESI), and Edman sequencing. Forty-six large subunit proteins were found, 22 of which showed masses in accordance with the SwissProt database (June 2002) masses (proteins L6, L7, L9, L13, L15, L17, L18, L21, L22, L24, L26, L27, L30, L32, L34, L35, L36, L37, L37A, L38, L39, L41). Eleven (proteins L7, L10A, L11, L12, L13A, L23, L23A, L27A, L28, L29, and P0) resulted in mass changes that are consistent with N-terminal loss of methionine, acetylation, internal methylation, or hydroxylation. A loss of methionine without acetylation was found for protein L8 and L17. For nine proteins (L3, L4, L5, L7A, L10, L14, L19, L31, and L40), the molecular masses could not be determined. Proteins P1 and protein L3-like were not identified by the methods applied.

ABSTRACT

An efficient method for digestion and extraction of proteolytic peptides from silver-stained proteins was applied to the characterization of nuclear proteins from the small cell lung cancer H82 (ATCC HTB 175) cell line previously separated by high-resolution large format two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. From 68 spots, evenly distributed on the gel area and representing a wide range of spot intensities, 63 (92%) were successfully identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) or electrospray ionozation-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). In five cases where the identification was not possible, the presence of an intense background apparently due to the leakage of polymers from the microtubes or other plastics, was detected. Extensive analysis of peptide sequences by ESI MS/MS experiments allowed the identification of post-translational modifications, such as acetylation, phosphorylation, deamidation of asparagine residues and the presence of isoaspartic acid. A new protein variant not reported in sequence databases was also detected.

ABSTRACT

Nodular or multinodular goiter is the most common non-neoplastic thyroid disease and may be difficult to distinguish from true neoplastic thyroid diseases using microscopic criteria. We have used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to study the protein patterns of thyroid tissues including normal thyroid, multinodular goiter, diffuse hyperplasia, follicular adenoma, follicular carcinoma and papillary carcinoma. Specific proteins, in the region of molecular mass 15-30 kDa and isoelectric point 4.5-6.5, were identified by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry and protein sequencing. The most distinctive protein found is cathepsin B, which could be detected as four spots, with differential expression in different thyroid diseases. In particular, two of these cathepsin B spots CB2 and CB3 are strongly up-regulated in neoplastic diseases, compared to non-neoplastic diseases. In addition, overexpression of ATP synthase D chain and prohibitin were observed in papillary carcinoma, which should allow it to be differentiated from follicular carcinoma. Changes in expression of other proteins were also observed in disease states compared to normal tissues, namely translationally controlled tumor protein, thioredoxin peroxidase 1, glutathione-S-transferase P, DJ-1 protein, superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn), and heat shock protein 27, but these changes are less characteristic, so they do not allow the differentiation between neoplastic and non-neoplastic tissues. Thus, the proteomic approach is a useful diagnostic tool for studying diseases involving the thyroid nodule.
