RESUMEN
Plasma membrane proteins with extracellular-exposed domains are responsible for transduction of extracellular signals into intracellular responses, and their accessibility to therapeutic molecules makes them attractive targets for drug development. In this work, using omics technologies and immunochemical methods, we have studied changes in the content of markers of clusters of differentiation (CD markers) of neutrophils (CD33, CD97, CD54, CD38, CD18, CD11b, CD44, and CD71) at the level of transcripts and proteins in NB4, HL-60 and K562 cell lines, induced by the treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). Transcriptomic analysis revealed the induction of CD38, CD54, CD11b, and CD18 markers as early as 3 h after the addition of the inducer in the ATRA-responsive cell lines HL-60 and NB4. After 24 h, a line-specific expression pattern of CD markers could be observed in all cell lines. Studies of changes in the content of CD antigens by means of flow cytometry and targeted mass spectrometry (MS) gave similar results. The proteomic profile of the surface markers (CD38, CD54, CD11b, and CD18), characteristic of the NB4 and HL-60 lines, reflects different molecular pathways for the implementation of ATRA-induced differentiation of leukemic cells into mature neutrophils.

A comparative assessment of the expression of the mitochondrial fission marker Drp1 and the autophagy marker LC3 in neurons and endothelial cells in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex during progression of cognitive deficit was performed in animals with intrahippocampal administration of ß-amyloid. In both brain regions, the expression of Drp1 and LC3 in neuronal and endothelial cells was enhanced. The peak of cognitive impairment corresponded to the maximum expression of Drp1 and LC3 in hippocampal neurons and was preceded by an increase in the number of Drp1+ and LC3+ endothelial cells in this brain region. These data attests to a possible role of aberrant mitochondrial dynamics and autophagy of endothelial cells in the impairment of brain plasticity in the Alzheimer's type neurodegeneration.

The protective effect of antioxidant SkQR1 was examined on the model of left-sided compression ischemia in rat sensorimotor cortex. The special tests aimed to determine the neurologic deficit in the limbs and assess performance of the forelimbs showed that a 2.5-min ischemia produced no disturbance in the limb functions on postsurgery days 1, 3, and 7. Elevation of compression time resulted in neurologic deficit in animals, and its severity depended on this time. A single intravenous injection of SkQR1 (250 nmol/kg body weight) performed 30 min after ischemia significantly reduced the degree of neurologic deficit. In vitro model of ischemia in surviving rat hippocampal slices showed that a 15-min-long ischemia significantly inhibited the population excitatory postsynaptic potentials, which did not restore during reperfusion. Preincubation of the slices with SkQR1 did not significantly affect recovery of these potentials.

The proteomic composition of a biological sample serves as the most important feature of a biological object, and it allows discriminating normal and pathological conditions. Targeted mass spectrometric analysis, namely, multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using synthetic isotopically-labeled internal standard (SIS), is the main alternative to the ELISA method for the analysis of diagnostically significant proteins. Based on the MRM results, a prototype test system has been developed; it employs the targeted mass spectrometric method for multiplex, quantitative analysis of FDA-verified proteins in whole blood plasma. Using this approach, it was possible to measure the content of 42 proteins in 31 samples in a concentration range spanning five orders of magnitude. The interindividual variability for 30 of the 42 registered proteins was less than 40%. The largest scatter was observed for haptoglobin (68%), immunoglobulin heavy constant delta IGHD (90%), angiotensin (72%), sex hormone-binding globulin SHBG (100%) and lipoprotein-(a) (136%). The obtained results on the concentration of proteins correlate with published data (Hortin et al., 2008, Clinical Chemistry, 54, 1608) with R2=0.84. The developed prototype test system based on targeted mass spectrometric analysis of proteins can be considered as an alternative to methods using monoclonal antibodies.

In this study, using new approach (laser diffraction + biological dyes), we have demonstrated the decrease of cells viability in vitro in the deuterated growth medium, whereas in the deuterium-depleted medium, there was an increase of cell viability. We have also found that not all dyes are equally sensitive to the D/H ratios in the culture medium (system) as well as to the different cell types (cancer vs normal cells).

Peptide mimetic of nerve growth factor GK-2 in a dose of 1-2 mg/liter improves survival of cultured rat cerebellar granule neurons exposed to the cytotoxic effect of zinc ions, but has no protective effect against copper ion cytotoxicity. Experiments on cultured rat hippocampal slices demonstrated that GK-2 did not affect reactivity of pyramidal neurons and long-term potentiation in the hippocampal field CA1 and the probability of glutamate release from presynaptic terminals in the synapses of the CA3-CA1 fields. The results suggest that GK-2 does not affect the functional properties of synaptic transmission under normal conditions, but protects neurons from the toxic effects of zinc, which creates prerequisites for GK-12 use in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

The main problems in the diagnostics and treatment of malignant tumors are early detection of the disease, prediction of the course of the disease and response to therapy. The solution may be associated with identification of biomarkers secreted by tumor cells within extracellular vesicles, known as exosomes. The study of exosome proteins attracts special attention, because their molecular composition can have information about tumor identity, and also represent a set of signaling molecules that regulate the processes of tumor progression and growth. In addition, the analysis of exosomes secreted into the extracellular space corresponds to the promising concept of a liquid biopsy. In this review, we have summarized the current experience in the molecular study of exosomes in various types of malignant tumors, including colorectal cancer, lung cancer, ovaries, prostate and breast cancer, with special emphasis on omics methods and outlined the prospects for their use in diagnosis.

HL-60 promyelocytic cells are a widely used as a model for studying induced granulocytic differentiation. Investigation of proteins of the nuclear fraction, particularly transcription factors, is necessary for a better understanding of molecular mechanisms of cell maturation. Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for analyzing a proteome due to its high sensitivity, specificity and performance. In this paper, using the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) method, we have assessed the levels of RBPJ, STAT1, CEBPB, CASP3, VAV1, PRKDC, PARP1 and UBC9 nuclear proteins isolated using hypertonic buffer, detergents (sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium deoxycholate (DOC) and fissionable detergent ProteaseMAX™) and using centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient. The minimum and maximum protein content was 1.13±0.28 and 14.34±1.63 fmol/mkg of total protein for the transcription factor RBPJ and ubiquitin-protein ligase type I UBC9, respectively. According to the results of shotgun mass spectrometric analysis of nuclear fractions, 2356 proteins were identified, of which 106 proteins were annotated as transcription factors. 37 transcription factors were uniquely identified in the fraction obtained by centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient, while only 9 and 8 transcription factors were uniquely identified in the nuclear fractions obtained using hypertonic buffer and detergents, respectively. The transcription factors identified in the HL-60 cell line represent regulatory molecules; their directed profiling under the influence of differentiation inducers, will shed light on the mechanism of granulocyte maturation.

Nowadays, the breast-feeding, despite the approved advantages, is not a standard in many communities. The multi-factorial determinants determining its prevalence need to be supported at various levels - from legal and legislative one to views and values of society, conditions of women's labor and also health care system that can develop a favorable environment for breast-feeding. The breast-feeding effects positively on health, economic development and ecology and therefor it is a benefit for children, women and whole society in short-term and long-term perspective. The defense, propaganda and support of breast-feeding need a political will, and financial investments to implement its advantages.

In the present study, we applied selected reaction monitoring (SRM) to a group of proteins that were previously reported to be associated with lung cancer (Novikova S.E. et al. (2017) Biomeditsinskaya khimiya, 63, 181-210. [1]). Measurements were performed on 59 plasma samples. These samples included: 23 samples of plasma of patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma (LAC), 11 samples of plasma of patients diagnosed with squamous cell lung carcinoma (SqCC), 25 samples of donors with no previous history of oncological diseases, and one pooled sample from each of the above group. As a result of the SRM measurements 52 proteins were detected at least in one individual plasma sample. Statistical analysis showed that there were two groups confidently differentiated by the concentration value of 8 proteins wherein 5 proteins displayed increased level (P00738, P26639, P21926, P08603, P51149) in LAC group and 3 proteins (P51884, O15162, Q8N2K0) indicated diminishing the concentration level towards the control level. Data on protein concentrations obtained for LAC and SqCC did not distinguish the samples by statistical clustering analysis. These potential biomarkers can be used for further development of methods for early diagnostics of lung cancer.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia, a form of acute myeloid leukemia, is characterized by cell differentiation arrest at the promyelocyte stage. Current therapeutic options include administration of all trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), but this treatment produces many side effects. ATRA is known to induce differentiation of leukemic cells into granulocytes, but the mechanism of this process is poorly studied. We performed comparative proteomic profiling of HL-60 promyelocytic cells at different stages of ATRA-induced differentiation to identify differentially expressed proteins by high-resolution mass spectrometry and relative quantitative analysis without isotope labels. A total of 1162 proteins identified by at least two unique peptides were analyzed, among them 46 and 172 differentially expressed proteins were identified in the nuclear and cytosol fractions, respectively. These differentially expressed proteins can represent candidate targets for combination therapy of acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Proteomic analysis of the nuclear fraction is of great importance, since many cellular processes are initiated in the nucleus. Refinement and choice of experimental procedures for cell lysate fractionation and parameters for mass spectrometric detection and data processing continue to be of current interest. The mass spectrometry analysis presented here was tested on human cell lines derived from different tissues: HL-60 (peripheral blood); HepG2 (liver); EA.hy926 (vascular endothelium). High reproducibility of results and their consistency with biological properties of the objects under study were demonstrated. The use of cells of different types made it possible to reveal a set of 16 proteins whose LFQ-values allow for the discrimination between proteome fractions regardless of cell origin. Also, a set of 16 proteins is suggested which are associated with individual characteristics of cell lines regardless of cell fraction. These protein panels can serve as parameters to verify the proteomic analysis done was of sufficient quality, in particular as indicators of successful fractionation of cell or tissue lysate.

The relationship between the amount of a target protein in a complex biological sample and its amount measured by selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mass spectrometry upon the affinity enrichment of target protein with aptamers immobilized on a solid phase was studied. Human thrombin added in known concentrations to cellular extracts derived from bacterial cells was used as model target protein. It has been demonstrated that the affinity enrichment of thrombin in cellular extracts by means of the thrombin-binding aptamer immobilized on the surface of magnetic microbeads results in an approximately 10-fold increase of the concentration of target protein and a 100-fold decrease of the low limit of a target protein concentration range where its quantitative detection by SRM is possible without an interference from other peptides present in a tryptic digest.

PURPOSE: Drug resistant epilepsy (DRE) is common in patients with tuberous sclerosis (TS). Interictal MEG has been shown as a valuable instrument in the presurgical workup. The goal of our study was to evaluate the role of ictal MEG in epileptogenic tuber selection, especially in patients with multiple irritative zones. METHODS: The clinical and MEG data of 23 patients with TS and DRE from two medical/research centers were reviewed. Seven pediatric patients, who had seizures during MEG recording and underwent resection or disconnection surgery, were included into the study. Cortical sources of ictal and interictal epileptiform MEG discharges were compared with epileptogenic zone location in six patients with favorable surgery outcome. RESULTS: In patients who improved substantially after surgery all resected and several other tubers demonstrated epileptiform activity on interictal MEG. Ictal MEG provided crucial information about lobar location of the seizure onset zone (SOZ) in two cases, and in the other four it confirmed the SOZ location derived from the interictal data. In one case, ictal MEG findings were unreliable. In one patient, who did not benefit from surgical treatment, the resected tubers did not overlap with interictal and ictal MEG sources. CONCLUSION: The combination of interictal and ictal MEG is a valuable tool for identification of the epileptogenic tuber/tubers in presurgical work-up in patients with TS.

Exosomes are extracellular membrane vesicles secreted by cells into biological fluids. The outer membrane of exosomes protects their content from degradation and contains markers of the parent cell. Almost all cells of the body produce exosomes, however, tumor cells secrete them more intensively. Due to fact that exosomes contain proteins of cells secreting them, these vesicles could be a valuable source for biomarkers discovery. Currently, a number of studies prove the participation of exosomes in carcinogenesis. However, there is a problem of isolating pure and characterized exosomes for further use in investigation of functions or identification of tumor protein biomarkers. In this work, we have performed experiments on exosomes isolation from human plasma by three methods: differential ultracentrifugation, ultracentrifugation in sucrose cushion, sedimentation of the exosomal fraction from serum by using a commercial kit. The protein composition of the obtained samples was determined by mass spectrometric methods of selected reactions monitoring (SRM) and shotgun proteomic analysis. The obtained exosomal samples were searched for the presence of exosomal markers (CD9, CD82, HSPA8, CD63). In the samples of exosomes isolated by ultracentrifugation with the sucrose cushion, the content of the above markers was determined as 32.85, 15.59, 6.07 fmol/mg of total protein, correspondently. It was shown that the centrifugation method with the sucrose cushion was optimal for the isolation of exosomes.

Quantitative proteomic analysis of 50 blood plasma samples of healthy volunteers who underwent a comprehensive medical examination and were found eligible for space flights was performed. As a result of directed mass spectrometric analysis, signals for 128 proteins, which accounted for nearly 40% of the total number of chromosome 13 gene products, were detected. The analysis of interindividual variation of concentrations of chromosome 13 proteins showed the presence of a pool comprising 41 proteins with a low variation (CV < 30%), which can potentially be used as biomarkers.

AIM: The purpose of this work was to obtain, multiply and characterize the adult neural crest-derived multipotent stem cells from human hair follicle for their further clinical use. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Adult neural crest-derived multipotent stem cells were obtained from human hair follicle by explant method and were expanded at large-scale up to a clinically significant number. The resulted cell cultures were examined by flow cytometry and immunocytochemical analysis. Their clonogenic potential, ability to self-renewal and directed multilineage differentiation were also investigated. RESULTS: Cell cultures were obtained from explants of adult human hair follicles. Resulted cells according to morphological, phenotypic and functional criteria satisfied the definition of neural crest-derived multipotent stem cells. They had the phenotype Sox2+Sox10+Nestin+CD73+CD90+CD105+CD140a+CD140b+CD146+CD166+CD271+CD349+ CD34-CD45-CD56-HLA-DR-, showed high clonogenic potential, ability to self-renewal and directed differentiation into the main derivatives of the neural crest: neurons, Schwann cells, adipocytes and osteoblasts. CONCLUSION: The possibility of a large-scale expansion of adult neural crest-derived multipotent stem cells up to 40-200·106 cells from minimal number of hair follicles with retention of their phenotype and functional properties are the significant step towards their translation into the clinical practice.Key Words: regenerative medicine, neural crest, hair follicle, neural crest-derived multipotent stem cells, directed differentiation, large-scale expansion.

AIM: We aimed to study biological properties of human endometrial stromal cells in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The endometrium samples (n = 5) were obtained by biopsy at the first phase of the menstrual cycle from women with endometrial hypoplasia. In all cases, a voluntary written informed consent was obtained from the patients. Endometrial fragments were dissociated by enzymatic treatment. The cells were cultured in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mÐ L-glutamine and 1 ng/ml FGF-2 in a multi-gas incubator at 5% CO2 and 5% O2. At P3 the cells were subjected to immunophenotyping, multilineage differentiation, karyotype stability and colony forming efficiency. The cell secretome was assessed by BioRad Multiplex immunoassay kit. RESULTS: Primary population of endometrial cells was heterogeneous and contained cells with fibroblast-like and epithelial-like morphology, but at P3 the majority of cell population had fibroblast-like morphology. The cells possessed typical for MSCs phenotype CD90+CD105+CD73+CD34-CD45-HLA-DR-. The cells also expressed CD140a, CD140b, CD146, and CD166 antigents; and were negative for CD106, CD184, CD271, and CD325. Cell doubling time was 29.6 ± 1.3 h. The cells were capable of directed osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. The cells showed 35.7% colony forming efficiency and a tendency to 3D spheroid formation. The GTG-banding assay confirmed the stability of eMSC karyotype during long-term culturing (up to P8). After 48 h incubation period in serum-free medium eMSC secreted anti-inflammatory IL-1ra, as well as IL-6, IL-8 and IFNγ, angiogenic factors VEGF, GM-CSF and FGF-2, chemokines IP-10 and MCP-1. CONCLUSION: Thus, cultured endometrial stromal cells meet minimal ISCT criteria for MSC. Proliferative potential, karyotype stability, multilineage plasticity and secretome profile make eMSC an attractive object for the regenerative medicine use.

The aim of this study was to evaluate sequence coverage of five model proteins (CYB5A, SMAD4, RAB27B, FECH, and CXXC1) by means of shotgun proteomic data analysis employing different methods of data treatment including database-dependent search engines (MASCOT and X!Tandem) and de novo sequencing software ((PEAKS, Novor, and PepNovo+). In order to achieve maximal results, multiprotease hydrolysis including enzymes trypsin, LYS-C, ASPN and GluC was performed in solution and using the FASP method. High resolution mass spectrometry was carried out with a Q EXACTIVE HF hybrid mass spectrometer in the positive ionization mode; parent ions with the highest intensity and a charge range from +2 to +6 were fragmented in the HCD mode. 27 experiments were carried out (hydrolysis with each of 5 enzymes in solution, 4 for the FASP protocol, three technical repeats). Using parameters limiting false identification of peptides, the search engines and de novo sequencing software gave similar results. The degree of sequence coverage was not at least 40%, and in the best cases it reached 80-90%. The use of de novo sequencing software resulted in identification of the Y12H amino acid substitution in one model protein (CYB5A).

To date lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) is the most common type of lung cancer. Numerous studies on LAC biology resulted in identification of crucial mutations in protooncogenes and activating neoplastic transformation pathways. Therapeutic approaches that significantly increase the survival rate of patients with LAC of different etiology have been developed and introduced into clinical practice. However, the main problem in the treatment of LAC is early diagnosis, taking into account both factors and mechanisms responsible in tumor initiation and progression. Identification of a wide biomarker repertoire with high specificity and reliability of detection appears to be a solution to this problem. In this context, proteins with differential expression in normal and pathological condition, suitable for detection in biological fluids are the most promising biomarkers. In this review we have analyzed literature data on studies aimed at search of LAC biomarkers. The major attention has been paid to protein biomarkers as the most promising and convenient subject of clinical diagnosis. The review also summarizes existing knowledge on posttranslational modifications, splice variants, isoforms, as well as model systems and transcriptome changes in LAC.
