BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA. BIOENERGETICS 2022; 1863:148520. [PMID: 34896079 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbabio.2021.148520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Tamoxifen has been widely used in the treatment of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, whereas it also exhibits ER-independent anticancer effects in various cancer cell types. As one of the convincing mechanisms underlying the ER-independent effects, induction of apoptosis through mitochondrial dysfunction has been advocated. However, the mechanism of action of tamoxifen even at the isolated mitochondrial level is not fully understood and remains controversial. Here, we attempted to comprehensively understand tamoxifen's multiple actions in isolated rat liver mitochondria through not only revisiting the actions hitherto reported but also conducting originally designed experiments. Using submitochondrial particles, we found that tamoxifen has potential as an inhibitor of both respiratory complex I and ATP synthase. However, these inhibitory effects were not elicited in intact mitochondria, likely because penetration of tamoxifen across the inner mitochondrial membrane is highly restricted owing to its localized positive charge (-N+H(CH3)2). This restricted penetration may also explain why tamoxifen is unable to function as a protonophore-type uncoupler in mitochondria. Moreover, tamoxifen suppressed opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore induced by Ca2+ overload through enhancing phosphate uptake into the matrix. The photoaffinity labeling experiments using a photolabile tamoxifen derivative (pTAM1) indicated that pTAM1 specifically binds to voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) 1 and 3, which regulate transport of various substances into mitochondria. The binding of tamoxifen to VDAC1 and/or VDAC3 could be responsible for the enhancement of phosphate uptake. Taking all the results together, we consider the principal impairment of mitochondrial functions caused by tamoxifen.

Abstract
Mitochondria are highly dynamic and regulated organelles that historically have been defined based on their crucial role in cell metabolism. However, they are implicated in a variety of other important functions, making mitochondrial dysfunction an important axis in several pathological contexts. Despite that conventional biochemical and molecular biology approaches have provided significant insight into mitochondrial functionality, innovative techniques that provide a global view of the mitochondrion are still necessary. Proteomics fulfils this need by enabling accurate, systems-wide quantitative analysis of protein abundance. More importantly, redox proteomics approaches offer unique opportunities to tackle oxidative stress, a phenomenon that is intimately linked to aging, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. In addition, cutting-edge proteomics approaches reveal how proteins exert their functions in complex interaction networks where even subtle alterations stemming from early pathological states can be monitored. Here, we describe the proteomics approaches that will help to deepen the role of mitochondria in health and disease by assessing not only changes to mitochondrial protein composition but also alterations to their redox state and how protein interaction networks regulate mitochondrial function and dynamics. This review is aimed at showing the reader how the application of proteomics approaches during the last 20 years has revealed crucial mitochondrial roles in the context of aging, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic disease, and cancer.

Abstract
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is a devastating necrotrophic fungal pathogen attacking a broad range of agricultural crops. In this study, although the transcript accumulation of SsNsd1, a GATA-type IVb transcription factor, was much lower during the vegetative hyphae stage, its mutants completely abolished the development of compound appressoria. To further elucidate how SsNsd1 influenced the appressorium formation, we conducted proteomics-based analysis of the wild-type and ΔSsNsd1 mutant by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE). A total number of 43 differentially expressed proteins (≥3-fold change) were observed. Of them, 77% were downregulated, whereas 14% were upregulated. Four protein spots fully disappeared in the mutants. Further, we evaluated these protein sequences by mass spectrometry analysis of the peptide mass and obtained functionally annotated 40 proteins, among which only 17 proteins (38%) were identified to have known functions including energy production, metabolism, protein fate, stress response, cellular organization, and cell growth and division. However, the remaining 23 proteins (56%) were characterized as hypothetical proteins among which four proteins (17%) were predicted to contain the signal peptides. In conclusion, the differentially expressed proteins identified in this study shed light on the ΔSsNsd1 mutant-mediated appressorium deficiency and can be used in future investigations to better understand the signaling mechanisms of SsNsd1 in S. sclerotiorum.

Abstract
Although tctp expression in many areas of the human brain was reported more than 15 years ago, little was known about how it functions in neurons. The early notion that Tctp is primarily expressed in mitotic cells, together with reports suggesting a relative low abundance in the brain, has perhaps potentiated this almost complete disregard for the study of Tctp in the context of neuron biology. However, recent evidence has challenged this view, as a number of independent genome-wide profiling studies identified tctp mRNA among the most enriched in the axonal compartment across diverse neuronal populations, including embryonic retinal ganglion cells. Considering the emerging parallels between axon guidance and cancer cell invasion, the axonal expression of cancer-associated tctp was suggestive of it holding an unexplored role in the wiring of neuronal circuits. Our study revealed that Tctp is necessary for the accurate and timely development of axon projections during the formation of vertebrate retinal circuits via its association with the survival machinery of the axon. Globally, the findings indicate that compromised pro-survival signaling in Tctp-deficient axons results in mitochondrial dysfunction and a subsequent decrease in axonal mitochondrial density. These effects likely translate into a metabolic state inadequate to support the normal guidance and extension processes of a developing axon.

Abstract
Mitochondria are essential for several biological processes including energy metabolism and cell survival. Accordingly, impaired mitochondrial function is involved in a wide range of human pathologies including diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. Within the past decade a growing body of evidence indicates that reversible phosphorylation plays an important role in the regulation of a variety of mitochondrial processes as well as tissue-specific mitochondrial functions in mammals. The rapidly increasing number of mitochondrial phosphorylation sites and phosphoproteins identified is largely ascribed to recent advances in phosphoproteomic technologies such as fractionation, phosphopeptide enrichment, and high-sensitivity mass spectrometry. However, the functional importance and the specific kinases and phosphatases involved have yet to be determined for the majority of these mitochondrial phosphorylation sites. This review summarizes the progress in establishing the mammalian mitochondrial phosphoproteome and the technical challenges encountered while characterizing it, with a particular focus on large-scale phosphoproteomic studies of mitochondria from human skeletal muscle.

Abstract
The transcript encoding translationally controlled tumor protein (Tctp), a molecule associated with aggressive breast cancers, was identified among the most abundant in genome-wide screens of axons, suggesting that Tctp is important in neurons. Here, we tested the role of Tctp in retinal axon development in Xenopus laevis. We report that Tctp deficiency results in stunted and splayed retinotectal projections that fail to innervate the optic tectum at the normal developmental time owing to impaired axon extension. Tctp-deficient axons exhibit defects associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and we show that Tctp interacts in the axonal compartment with myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl1), a pro-survival member of the Bcl2 family. Mcl1 knockdown gives rise to similar axon misprojection phenotypes, and we provide evidence that the anti-apoptotic activity of Tctp is necessary for the normal development of the retinotectal projection. These findings suggest that Tctp supports the development of the retinotectal projection via its regulation of pro-survival signalling and axonal mitochondrial homeostasis, and establish a novel and fundamental role for Tctp in vertebrate neural circuitry assembly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence has linked mitochondrial dysfunction to the pathogenesis of many renal disorders, including acute kidney injury, sepsis and even chronic kidney disease. Proteomics is a powerful tool in elucidating the role of mitochondria in renal pathologies. Since the pig is increasingly recognized as a major mammalian model for translational research, the lack of physiological proteome data of large mammals prompted us to examine renal mitochondrial proteome in porcine kidney cortex and medulla METHODS Kidneys were obtained from six healthy pigs. Mitochondria from cortex and medulla were isolated using differential centrifugation and proteome maps of cortical and medullar mitochondria were constructed using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE). Protein spots with significant difference between mitochondrial fraction of renal cortex and medulla were identified by mass spectrometry. RESULTS Proteomic analysis identified 81 protein spots. Of these spots, 41 mitochondrial proteins were statistically different between renal cortex and medulla (p < 0.05). Protein spots containing enzymes of beta oxidation, amino acid metabolism, and gluconeogenesis were predominant in kidney cortex mitochondria. Spots containing tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes and electron transport system proteins, proteins maintaining metabolite transport and mitochondrial translation were more abundant in medullar mitochondria. CONCLUSION This study provides the first proteomic profile of porcine kidney cortex and medullar mitochondrial proteome. Different protein expression pattern reflects divergent functional metabolic role of mitochondria in various kidney compartments. Our study could serve as a useful reference for further porcine experiments investigating renal mitochondrial physiology under various pathological states.

Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common childhood myopathy, characterized by muscle loss and cardiorespiratory failure. While the genetic basis of DMD is well established, secondary mechanisms associated with dystrophic pathophysiology are not fully clarified yet. In order to obtain new insights into the molecular mechanisms of muscle dystrophy during earlier stages of the disease, we performed a comparative proteomic profile of the spared extraocular muscles (EOM) vs. affected diaphragm from the mdx mice, using a label based shotgun proteomic approach. Out of the 857 identified proteins, 42 to 62 proteins had differential abundance of peptide ions. The calcium-handling proteins sarcalumenin and calsequestrin-1 were increased in control EOM compared with control DIA, reinforcing the view that constitutional properties of EOM are important for their protection against myonecrosis. The finding that galectin-1 (muscle regeneration), annexin A1 (anti-inflammatory) and HSP 47 (fibrosis) were increased in dystrophic diaphragm provides novel insights into the mechanisms through which mdx affected muscles are able to counteract dystrophy, during the early stage of the disease. Overall, the shotgun technique proved to be suitable to perform quantitative comparisons between distinct dystrophic muscles and allowed the suggestion of new potential biomarkers and drug targets for dystrophinopaties.

Abstract
Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the single most significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The emerging global impact of CV disease means that the goals of early diagnosis and a wider range of treatment options are now increasingly pertinent. As such, there is a greater need to understand the molecular mechanisms involved and potential targets for intervention. Mitochondrial function is important for physiological maintenance of the cell, and when this function is altered, the cell can begin to suffer. Given the broad range and significant impacts of the cellular processes regulated by the mitochondria, it becomes important to understand the roles of the proteins associated with this organelle. Proteomic investigations of the mitochondria are hampered by the intrinsic properties of the organelle, including hydrophobic mitochondrial membranes; high proportion of basic proteins (pI greater than 8.0); and the relative dynamic range issues of the mitochondria. For these reasons, many proteomic studies investigate the mitochondria as a discrete subproteome. Once this has been achieved, the alterations that result in functional changes with CV disease can be observed. Those alterations that lead to changes in mitochondrial function, signaling and morphology, which have significant implications for the cardiomyocyte in the development of CV disease, are discussed.

Abstract
Local protein synthesis plays a key role in regulating stimulus-induced responses in dendrites and axons. Recent genome-wide studies have revealed that thousands of different transcripts reside in these distal neuronal compartments, but identifying those with functionally significant roles presents a challenge. We performed an unbiased screen to look for stimulus-induced, protein synthesis-dependent changes in the proteome of Xenopus retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons. The intermediate filament protein lamin B2 (LB2), normally associated with the nuclear membrane, was identified as an unexpected major target. Axonal ribosome immunoprecipitation confirmed translation of lb2 mRNA in vivo. Inhibition of lb2 mRNA translation in axons in vivo does not affect guidance but causes axonal degeneration. Axonal LB2 associates with mitochondria, and LB2-deficient axons exhibit mitochondrial dysfunction and defects in axonal transport. Our results thus suggest that axonally synthesized lamin B plays a crucial role in axon maintenance by promoting mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has a central role in aging and in several age-linked diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes and cancer. Mitochondria, as the main cellular source and target of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aging, are recognized as very important players in the above reported diseases. Impaired mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation has been reported in several aging tissues. Defective mitochondria are not only responsible of bioenergetically less efficient cells but also increase ROS production further contributing to tissues oxidative stress. Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) is a biomolecule able to limit age-linked mitochondrial decay in brain, liver, heart and skeletal muscles by increasing mitochondrial efficiency. Here the global changes induced by aging and by ALCAR supplementation to old rat on the mitochondrial proteome of rat liver has been analyzed by means of the two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Mass spectrometry has been used to identify the differentially expressed proteins. A significant age-related change occurred in 31 proteins involved in several metabolisms. ALCAR supplementation altered the levels of 26 proteins. In particular, ALCAR reversed the age-related alterations of 10 mitochondrial proteins relative to mitochondrial cristae morphology, to the oxidative phosphorylation and antioxidant systems, to urea cycle, to purine biosynthesis.

Abstract
Mitochondria are of central importance for energy generation in skeletal muscles. Expression changes or functional alterations in mitochondrial enzymes play a key role during myogenesis, fibre maturation, and various neuromuscular pathologies, as well as natural fibre aging. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics suggests itself as a convenient large-scale and high-throughput approach to catalogue the mitochondrial protein complement and determine global changes during health and disease. This paper gives a brief overview of the relatively new field of mitochondrial proteomics and discusses the findings from recent proteomic surveys of mitochondrial elements in aged skeletal muscles. Changes in the abundance, biochemical activity, subcellular localization, and/or posttranslational modifications in key mitochondrial enzymes might be useful as novel biomarkers of aging. In the long term, this may advance diagnostic procedures, improve the monitoring of disease progression, help in the testing of side effects due to new drug regimes, and enhance our molecular understanding of age-related muscle degeneration.

Abstract
3,5-Diiodo-l-thyronine (T2) powerfully reduces adiposity in rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD), stimulating (in the liver) fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial uncoupling, and strongly counteracting steatosis, a condition commonly associated with diet-induced obesity. Proteomics offer unique possibilities for the investigation of changes in the levels and modifications of proteins. Here, combining 2D-E, mass spectrometry, and blue native (BN) PAGE, we studied how the subcellular hepatic phenotype responds to HFD and T2-treatment. By identifying differentially expressed proteins and analyzing their interrelation [using the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) platform], we obtained an integrated view of the phenotypic/metabolic adaptations occurring in the liver proteome during HFD with or without T2-treatment. Interestingly, T2 counteracted several HFD-induced changes, mostly in mitochondria. BN-PAGE and subsequent in-gel activity analysis of OXPHOS complexes revealed a modified profile of individual complexes in HFD mitochondria vs. normal ones. This pattern was re-normalized in mitochondria from T2-treated HFD animals. These data indicate that in HFD rats, the effects of T2 on the liver proteome cause it to resemble that associated with a non-steatotic condition. The identified metabolic pathways (mainly at the mitochondrial level) may be responsible for the beneficial effects of T2 on liver adiposity and metabolism.

Abstract
Approximately 50-80% of oligodendrogliomas demonstrate a combined loss of chromosome 1p and 19q. Chromosome 1p/19q deletion, appearing early in tumorigenesis, is associated with improved clinical outcomes, including response to chemotherapy and radiation. Although many hypotheses have been proposed, the molecular mechanisms underlying improved clinical outcomes with 1p/19q deletion in oligodendrogliomas have not been characterized fully. To investigate the molecular differences between oligodendrogliomas, we employed an unbiased proteomic approach using microcapillary liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, along with a quantitative technique called isotope-coded affinity tags, on patient samples of grade II oligodendrogliomas. Following conventional biochemical separation of pooled tumor tissue from five samples of undeleted and 1p/19q deleted grade II oligodendrogliomas into nuclei-, mitochondria-, and cytosol-enriched fractions, relative changes in protein abundance were quantified. Among the 442 total proteins identified, 163 nonredundant proteins displayed significant changes in relative abundance in at least one of the three fractions between oligodendroglioma with and without 1p/19q deletion. Bioinformatic analyses of differentially regulated proteins supported the potential importance of metabolism and invasion/migration to the codeleted phenotype. A subset of altered proteins, including the pro-invasive extracellular matrix protein BCAN, was further validated by Western blotting as candidate markers for the more aggressive undeleted phenotype. These studies demonstrate the utility of proteomic analysis to identify candidate biological motifs and molecular mechanisms that drive differential malignancy related to 1p19q phenotypes. Future analysis of larger patient samples are warranted to further refine biomarker panels to predict biological behavior and assist in the identification of deleted gene products that define the 1p/19q phenotype.

Abstract
In the recent years, global proteomics approaches have been widely used to characterize a number of tissue proteomes including plasma and liver; however, the elevated complexity of these samples in combination with the high abundance of some specific proteins make the study of the lowest abundant proteins difficult. This review is focused on different strategies that have been developed to extend the proteome focused on these two tissues, as, for example, the analysis of sub-cellular proteomes. In this regard, two special kind of extracellular vesicles--exosomes and membrane plasma shedding vesicles--are emerging as excellent biological source both to extend the liver and plasma proteomes and to be applied in the discovery of non-invasive liver-specific disease biomarkers.

Abstract
Mitochondria can be isolated from skeletal muscle in a manner that preserves tightly coupled bioenergetic function in vitro. The purpose of this study was to characterize the composition of such preparations using a proteomics approach. Mitochondria isolated from human vastus lateralis biopsies were functional as evidenced by their response to carbohydrate and fat-derived fuels. Using one-dimensional gel electrophoresis and HPLC-ESI-MS/MS, 823 unique proteins were detected, and 487 of these were assigned to the mitochondrion, including the newly characterized SIRT5, MitoNEET and RDH13. Proteins detected included 9 of the 13 mitochondrial DNA-encoded proteins and 86 of 104 electron transport chain (ETC) and ETC-related proteins. In addition, 59 of 78 proteins of the 55S mitoribosome, several TIM and TOM proteins and cell death proteins were present. This study presents an efficient method for future qualitative assessments of proteins from functional isolated mitochondria from small samples of healthy and diseased skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) separates proteins by molecular charge and molecular size. Proteins are first solubilised in a denaturing buffer containing a neutral chaotrope, a zwitterionic or neutral detergent, and a reducing agent. First-dimension isoelectric keywords, focusing, then subjects proteins to a high voltage within a pH gradient. The amphoteric nature of proteins means each migrates to the pH where the net molecular charge is zero. After equilibration, to ensure complete protein unfolding, the second dimension separates by molecular size. Each protein is therefore resolved at a unique isoelectric point/molecular size coordinate. After visualisation by staining proteome changes are revealed by gel image analysis, and protein spots of interest excised and identified by mass spectrometry sequence analysis combined with database comparison. Variations to this procedure include staining or radio-labelling prior to electrophoresis. Although 2DE does have limitations, the most significant being the resolution of membrane and/or hydrophobic proteins, the potential solutions offered by pre-fractionation or adjustments to the electrophoresis regimen mean this technique is likely to remain central to proteomic research.

Abstract
Mitochondria are a vital component of eukaryotic cells with functions that extend beyond energy production to include metabolism, signaling, cell growth, and apoptosis. Their dysfunction is implicated in a large number of metabolic, degenerative, and age-related human diseases. Therefore, it is important to characterize and understand the mitochondrion. Many experiments have attempted to define the mitochondrial proteome, resulting in large and complex data sets that are difficult to analyze. To address this, we developed a new public resource for the storage and investigation of this mitochondrial proteomics data, called MitoMiner, that uses a model to describe the proteomics data and associated biological information. The proteomics data of 33 publications from both mass spectrometry and green fluorescent protein tagging experiments were imported and integrated with protein annotation from UniProt and genome projects, metabolic pathway data from Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, homology relationships from HomoloGene, and disease information from Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man. We demonstrate the strengths of MitoMiner by investigating these data sets and show that the number of different mitochondrial proteins that have been reported is about 3700, although the number of proteins common to both animals and yeast is about 1400, and membrane proteins appear to be underrepresented. Furthermore analysis indicated that enzymes of some cytosolic metabolic pathways are regularly detected in mitochondrial proteomics experiments, suggesting that they are associated with the outside of the outer mitochondrial membrane. The data and advanced capabilities of MitoMiner provide a framework for further mitochondrial analysis and future systems level modeling of mitochondrial physiology.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in many conditions including aging and insulin resistance, but the molecular pathways of the mitochondrial dysfunction remain unclear. Presently, no methodologies are available to measure synthesis rates of individual mitochondrial proteins, which limits our ability to fully understand the translational regulation of gene transcripts. Here, we report a methodology to measure synthesis rates of multiple muscle mitochondrial proteins, which, along with large-scale measurements of mitochondrial gene transcripts and protein concentrations, will enable us to determine whether mitochondrial alteration is due to transcriptional or translational changes. The methodology involves in vivo labeling of muscle proteins with l-[ring-(13)C(6)]phenylalanine, protein purification by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of muscle mitochondrial fraction, and protein identification and stable isotope abundance measurements by tandem mass spectrometry. Synthesis rates of 68 mitochondrial and 23 nonmitochondrial proteins from skeletal muscle mitochondrial fraction showed a 10-fold range, with the lowest rate for a structural protein such as myosin heavy chain (0.16 +/- 0.04%/h) and the highest for a mitochondrial protein such as dihydrolipoamide branched chain transacylase E2 (1.5 +/- 0.42%/h). This method offers an opportunity to better define the translational regulation of proteins in skeletal muscle or other tissues.

Abstract
In Parkinson's disease, oxidative stress is implicated in protein misfolding and aggregation, which may activate the unfolded protein response by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Dopamine (DA) can initiate oxidative stress via H(2)O(2) formation by DA metabolism and by oxidation into DA quinone. We have previously shown that DA quinone induces oxidative protein modification, mitochondrial dysfunction in vitro, and dopaminergic cell toxicity in vivo and in vitro. In this study, we used cysteine- and lysine-reactive fluorescent dyes with 2D difference in-gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and peptide mass fingerprint analysis to identify proteins in PC12 cell mitochondrial-enriched fractions that were altered in abundance following DA exposure (150 muM, 16 h). Quantitative changes in proteins labeled with fluorescent dyes indicated increases in a subset of proteins after DA exposure: calreticulin, ERp29, ERp99, Grp58, Grp78, Grp94 and Orp150 (149-260%), and decreased levels of aldolase A (39-42%). Changes in levels of several proteins detected by 2D difference in-gel electrophoresis were confirmed by western blot. Using this unbiased proteomics approach, our findings demonstrated that in PC12 cells, DA exposure leads to a cellular response indicative of ER stress prior to the onset of cell death, providing a potential link between DA and the unfolded protein response in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Stable isotope labeling in combination with mass spectrometry has emerged as a powerful tool to identify and relatively quantify thousands of proteins within complex protein mixtures. Here we describe a method, termed isotope-coded protein label (ICPL), which is capable of high-throughput quantitative proteome profiling on a global scale. Because ICPL is based on stable isotope tagging at the frequent free amino groups of isolated intact proteins, it is applicable to any protein sample, including extracts from tissues or body fluids, and compatible to all separation methods currently employed in proteome studies. The method shows highly accurate and reproducible quantification of proteins and yields high sequence coverage, indispensable for the detection of post-translational modifications and protein isoforms.

Abstract
In-gel digestion is commonly used after proteins are resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE, 2-DE). It can also be used on its own in conjunction with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for the direct analysis of complex proteins. Here, we describe a strategy combining isolation of purified plasma membrane, efficient digestion of plasma membrane proteins in polyacrylamide gel, and high-sensitivity analysis by advanced mass spectrometry to create a new rapid and high-throughput method. The plasma membrane protein mixture is directly incorporated into a polyacrylamide gel matrix, After formation of the gel, proteins in the gel section are digested with trypsin, and the resulting peptides are subjected to reversed-phase, high-performance liquid chromatography followed by electrospray ion-trap tandem mass analysis. Using this optimized strategy, we have identified 883 rat liver membrane proteins, of which 490 had a gene ontology (GO) annotation indicating a cellular component, and 294 (60%) of the latter were known integral membrane proteins or membrane proteins. In total, 333 proteins are predicted by the TMHMM 2.0 algorithm to have transmembrane domains (TMDs) and 52% (175 of 333) proteins to contain 2-16 TMDs. The identified membrane proteins provide a broad representation of the rat plasma membrane proteome with little bias evident due to protein p I and molecular weight (MW). Also, membrane proteins with a high GRAVY score (grand average hydrophobicity score) were identified, and basic and acidic membrane proteins were evenly represented. This study not only offered an efficient and powerful method in shotgun proteomics for the identification of proteins of complex plasma membrane samples but also allowed in-depth study of liver membrane proteomes, such as of rat models of liver-related disease. This work represents one of the most comprehensive proteomic analyses of the membrane subproteome of rat liver plasma membrane in general.

Abstract
Heart diseases resulting in heart failure are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Underlying molecular causes of cardiac dysfunction in most heart diseases are still largely unknown but are expected to result from causal alterations in gene and protein expression. Proteomic technology now allows us to examine global alterations in protein expression in the diseased heart and can provide new insights into cellular mechanisms involved in cardiac dysfunction. The majority of proteomic investigations still use 2D gel electrophoresis (2-DE) with immobilized pH gradients to separate the proteins in a sample and combine this with mass spectrometry (MS) technologies to identify proteins. In spite of the development of novel gel-free technologies, 2-DE remains the only technique that can be routinely applied to parallel quantitative expression profiling of large sets of complex protein mixtures such as whole cell lysates. It can resolve >5000 proteins simultaneously (approximately 2000 proteins routinely) and can detect <1 ng of protein per spot. Furthermore, 2-DE delivers a map of intact proteins, which reflects changes in protein expression level, isoforms, or post-translational modifications. The use of proteomics to investigate heart disease should result in the generation of new diagnostic and therapeutic markers. In this article, we review the current status of proteomic technologies, describing the 2-DE proteomics workflow, with an overview of protein identification by MS and how these technologies are being applied to studies of human heart disease.

Abstract
Aging is accompanied by gradual cellular dysfunction associated with an accumulation of damaged proteins, particularly via oxidative processes. This cellular dysfunction has been attributed, at least in part, to impairment of mitochondrial function as this organelle is both a major source of oxidants and a target for their damaging effects, which can result in a reduction of energy production, thereby compromising cell function. In the present study, we observed a significant decrease in the respiratory activity of rat liver mitochondria with aging, and an increase in the advanced glycation endproduct-modified protein level in the mitochondrial matrix. Western blot analysis of the glycated protein pattern after 2D electrophoresis revealed that only a restricted set of proteins was modified. Within this set, we identified, by mass spectrometry, proteins connected with the urea cycle, and especially glutamate dehydrogenase, which is markedly modified in older animals. Moreover, mitochondrial matrix extracts exhibited a significant decrease in glutamate dehydrogenase activity and altered allosteric regulation with age. Therefore, the effect of the glycating agent methylglyoxal on glutamate dehydrogenase activity and its allosteric regulation was analyzed. The treated enzyme showed inactivation with time by altering both catalytic properties and allosteric regulation. Altogether, these results showed that advanced glycation endproduct modifications selectively affect mitochondrial matrix proteins, particularly glutamate dehydrogenase, a crucial enzyme at the interface between tricarboxylic acid and urea cycles. Thus, it is proposed that glycated glutamate dehydrogenase could be used as a biomarker of cellular aging. Furthermore, these results suggest a role for such intracellular glycation in age-related dysfunction of mitochondria.

Abstract
As one of the most potent topoisomerase inhibitors, hydroxycamptothecin is more active and less toxic than conventional camptothecin. Recently, we found that hydroxycamptothecin can induce cell apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway. This study was designed to investigate the mitochondrial protein profile in HCPT-treated cells using high-accuracy and high-sensitivity protein-identification technology. Of the 39 mitochondrial protein spots investigated, 25 displayed elevated and 14 suppressed abundance in hydroxycamptothecin-treated cells. The 25 spots were identified by mass spectrometry and they included proteins involved in many essential cellular functions. The potential role of these proteins in hydroxycamptothecin-mediated apoptosis is also discussed. This study has produced a short list of mitochondrial proteins that might hold the key to the mechanism by which hydroxycamptothecin induces mitochondrial dysfunction and cell apoptosis. It has laid the foundation for further elucidating the role of hydroxycamptothecin during apoptosis. Successful applications of multiple techniques including two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and Western blot analysis have demonstrated that proteomic analyses provide appropriate approaches for understanding of the roles of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Identifying the liver proteome has been the subject of intensified research. Notably, due to their strong heterogeneity in size, charge, solubility, and relative abundance, different strategies of pre-fractionation must be employed to increase the number of identifiable proteins. In our efforts, we used two different lysis buffers in sequence, a liquid-phase IEF pre-fractionation and separation of protein mixtures at three different pH ranges (3-10, 5-8, and 7-10). Then, >15 000 gel digested proteins were investigated. We report an identification of 590 different gene products, including some isoforms. More than 150 proteins have not been reported so far by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) proteome mapping. We further studied the transcript expression of more than 33 000 genes in rat liver to explore correlations between transcript and protein expression. Overall, we report a method for the separation of rat liver proteins and their identification by mass spectrometry. The newly identified proteins will enable an improved understanding of liver biology.

Abstract
A comparative study on the three quantitative methods frequently used in proteomics, 2D DIGE (difference gel electrophoresis), cICAT (cleavable isotope-coded affinity tags) and iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification), was carried out. DIGE and cICAT are familiar techniques used in gel- and LC-based quantitative proteomics, respectively. iTRAQ is a new LC-based technique which is gradually gaining in popularity. A systematic comparison among these quantitative methods has not been reported. In this study, we conducted well-designed comparisons using a six-protein mixture, a reconstituted protein mixture (BSA spiked into human plasma devoid of six abundant proteins), and complex HCT-116 cell lysates as the samples. All three techniques yielded quantitative results with reasonable accuracy when the six-protein or the reconstituted protein mixture was used. In DIGE, accurate quantification was sometimes compromised due to comigration or partial comigration of proteins. The iTRAQ method is more susceptible to errors in precursor ion isolation, which could be manifested with increasing sample complexity. The quantification sensitivity of each method was estimated by the number of peptides detected for each protein. In this regard, the global-tagging iTRAQ technique was more sensitive than the cysteine-specific cICAT method, which in turn was as sensitive as, if not more sensitive than, the DIGE technique. Protein profiling on HCT-116 and HCT-116 p53 -/- cell lysates displayed limited overlapping among proteins identified by the three methods, suggesting the complementary nature of these methods.

PPARalpha-agonist treatments of the rats resulted in that 27% of the quantified hepatic proteins were altered; implicating pronounced peroxisome proliferation and increase in capacity for beta-oxidation of fatty acids although no correction of plasma triglycerides were obtained. On treatment with PPARgamma agonists, adipose proteins were regulated to a much larger extent in the rats compared to mice, 18% and 2%, respectively.

Abstract
Mitochondria are essential organelles for cellular homeostasis. A variety of pathologies including cancer, myopathies, diabetes, obesity, aging and neurodegenerative diseases are linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. Therefore, mapping the different components of mitochondria is of particular interest to gain further understanding of such diseases. In recent years, proteomics-based approaches have been developed in attempts to determine the complete set of mitochondrial proteins in yeast, plants and mammals. In addition, proteomics-based methods have been applied not only to the analysis of protein function in the organelle, but also to identify biomarkers for diagnosis and therapeutic targets of specific pathologies associated with mitochondria. Altogether, it is becoming clear that proteomics is a powerful tool not only to identify currently unknown components of the mitochondrion, but also to study the different roles of the organelle in cellular homeostasis.

Abstract
Identifying the subcellular localization of proteins is particularly helpful in the functional annotation of gene products. In this study, we use Machine Learning and Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) techniques to examine and characterize amino acid sequences of human proteins localized in nine cellular compartments. A dataset of 3,749 protein sequences representing human proteins was extracted from the SWISS-PROT database. Feature vectors were created to capture specific amino acid sequence characteristics. Relative to a Support Vector Machine, a Multi-layer Perceptron, and a Naïve Bayes classifier, the C4.5 Decision Tree algorithm was the most consistent performer across all nine compartments in reliably predicting the subcellular localization of proteins based on their amino acid sequences (average Precision=0.88; average Sensitivity=0.86). Furthermore, EDA graphics characterized essential features of proteins in each compartment. As examples, proteins localized to the plasma membrane had higher proportions of hydrophobic amino acids; cytoplasmic proteins had higher proportions of neutral amino acids; and mitochondrial proteins had higher proportions of neutral amino acids and lower proportions of polar amino acids. These data showed that the C4.5 classifier and EDA tools can be effective for characterizing and predicting the subcellular localization of human proteins based on their amino acid sequences.

Abstract
Prefractionation of complex protein mixtures is an efficient method for increasing the separation power of 2-DE. RP-HPLC has been successfully utilized as a prefractionation method prior to 2-DE. Here we describe the optimization of an efficient RP-HPLC method for prefractionation of baby hamster kidney cell solubilized proteins. A step gradient elution of acetonitrile was optimized and collected fractions were further examined by SDS-PAGE and 2-DE. By utilizing this method an effective increase in separation power of 2-DE is accomplished. Moreover, we describe the application of this method to expressional proteome analysis of a virally infected cell model.

Abstract
Alterations in mitochondrial structure or function have been described in a variety of human diseases for nearly half a century. The complete sequence of the human mitochondrial genome has been published in 1981. The mitochondrial proteome database however, is still incomplete. Here I give a short review on recent advances to determine the complete set of mitochondrial proteins. The main emphasis is put on gel-based proteomic approaches to identify differentially expressed mitochondrial proteins in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Membrane proteins play an important role in cellular function. However, their analysis by mass spectrometry often is hindered by their hydrophobicity and/or low abundance. In this article, we present a method for the mass spectrometric analysis of membrane proteins based on the isolation of the resident membranes, isolation of the proteins by gel electrophoresis, and electroelution followed by enzymatic digestion by both trypsin and proteinase K. With this method, we have achieved 82-99% sequence coverage for the membrane proteins carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I), long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (LCAS), and voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), isolated from rat liver mitochondrial outer membranes, including the transmembrane domains of these integral membrane proteins. This high sequence coverage allowed the identification of the isoforms of the proteins under study. This methodology provides a targeted approach for examining membrane proteins in detail.

Abstract
In accordance with their manifold tasks, various dysfunctions of mitochondria are critically involved in a large number of diseases and the aging process. This has inspired considerable efforts to identify all the mitochondrial proteins by denaturing approaches, notably, the standard gel-based method employing isoelectric focusing. Because a significant part of the mitochondrial proteome is membrane-associated and/or functions as homo- or heterooligomeric protein complexes, there is an urgent need to detect and identify mitochondrial proteins, both membranous and soluble ones, under conditions preserving protein-protein interactions. Here, we investigated mitochondria of five different rat organs (kidney, liver, heart, skeletal muscle, and brain) solubilized with digitonin, enabling the quantitative extraction of the five oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes. The analysis by blue-native (BN)-PAGE recovered the OXPHOS complexes to a large extent as supercomplexes and separated many other protein complexes and individual proteins which were resolved by subsequent 2D SDS-PAGE revealing the tissue-diverse mitochondrial proteomes. Using MS peptide mass fingerprinting, we identified in all five organs 92 nonredundant soluble and membrane-embedded non-OXPHOS proteins, among them, many as constituents of known mitochondrial protein complexes as well as novel ones such as the putative "stomatin-like protein 2 complex" with an apparent mass of ca. 1800 kDa. Interestingly, the identification list included 36 proteins known or presumed to be localized to nonmitochondrial compartments, for example, glycolytic enzymes, clathrin heavy chain, valosin-containing protein/p97, VoV1-ATPase, and Na,K-ATPase. We expect that more than 200 distinct non-OXPHOS proteins of digitonin-solubilized rat mitochondria separated by 2D BN/SDS-PAGE, representing a partial "protein interactome" map, can be identified.

Abstract
Grating-coupled surface plasmon resonance (GCSPR) is a method for the accurate assessment of analyte in a multiplexed format using small amounts of sample. In GCSPR, the analyte is flowed across specific receptors (e.g. antibodies or other proteins) that have been immobilized on a sensor chip. The chip surface is illuminated with p-polarized light that couples to the gold surface's electrons to form a surface plasmon. At a specific angle of incidence, the GCSPR angle, the maximum amount of coupling occurs, thus reducing the intensity of reflected light. Shifts in the GCSPR angle can be correlated with refractive index increases following analyte capture by chip-bound receptors. Because regions of the chip can be independently analyzed, this system can assess 400 interactions between analyte and receptor on a single chip. We have used this label-free system to assess a number of molecules of immunological interest. GCSPR can simultaneously detect an array of cytokines and other proteins using the same chip. Moreover, GCSPR is also compatible with assessments of antigen expression by intact cells, detecting cellular apoptosis and identifying T cells and B cells. This technology represents a powerful new approach to the analysis of cells and molecular constituents of biological samples.

Abstract
To comprehensively identify proteins of the rat liver plasma membrane (PM), we have adopted a proteomics strategy that utilizes sucrose density centrifugation in conjunction with aqueous two-phase partition for plasma membrane isolation, followed by SDS-PAGE, mass spectrometry and bioinformatics. Western blot analysis showed that this method results in highly purified plasma membrane fractions, which is a key to successful plasma membrane proteomics. The PM proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and digested with trypsin. Through nano-ESI-LC MS/MS analysis we identified 428 rat liver membrane proteins, of which 304 had a gene ontology (GO) annotation indicating a cellular component, and 204 (67%) of the latter were known integral membrane proteins or membrane-associated proteins. In addition to proteins known to be associated with the plasma membrane, several hypothetical proteins have also been identified. This study not only provides a tool to study plasma membrane proteins with low levels of contamination, but also provides a data set for proteins of high to moderate abundance in rat liver plasma membranes, thus allowing for more comprehensive characterization of membrane proteins and a better understanding of membrane dynamics.

Abstract
Steatosis encompasses the accumulation of droplets of fats into hepatocytes. In this work, we performed a comparative analysis of mitochondrial protein patterns found in wild-type and steatosis-affected liver using the novel technique two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE). A total of 56 proteins exhibiting significant difference in their abundances were unambiguously identified. Interestingly, major proteins that regulate generation and consumption of the acetyl-CoA pool were dramatically changed during steatosis. Many proteins involved in the response to oxidative stress were also affected.

Abstract
Organ failure induced by endotoxic shock has recently been associated with affected mitochondrial function. In this study, effects of in vivo lipopolysaccharide-challenge on protein patterns of rat liver mitochondria in treated animals versus controls were studied by two-dimensional electrophoresis (differential image gel electrophoresis). Significant upregulation was found for ATP-synthase alpha chain and superoxide dismutase [Mn]. Our data suggest that endotoxic shock mediated changes in the mitochondrial proteome contribute to a compensatory reaction (adaptation to endotoxic shock) rather than to a mechanism of cell damage.

Abstract
The abasic (AP) endonuclease (APE1) plays a central role in the base excision repair (BER) pathway for repairing oxidatively damaged bases and abasic sites in mammalian genomes. We have investigated age-dependent changes in APE activity, contributed primarily by APE1, in total extracts as well as in nuclear, mitochondrial, and cytoplasmic compartments of mouse hepatocytes. The APE1 protein and mRNA levels did not differ significantly between the livers of 4-mo (young), 10-mo (middle-aged), and 20-mo (old) mice, and corresponds with similar APE activity. However, we observed a 2-fold increase in specific activity of APE1 in the nucleus, a 2-fold decrease in the cytoplasm, and a 6-fold increase in the mitochondrial matrix of hepatocytes of the old relative to the young animals. Surprisingly, in the middle-age animals we observed 30% increase in APE activity in the nucleus but 6-fold in the mitochondrial matrix. These results indicate age-dependent accumulation of APE1 in the nucleus and mitochondria. Such redistribution occurred early in the mitochondria during the aging process and preferential accumulation of APE in the nucleus was more gradual which may reflect distinct levels of oxidative stress in these organelles.

Abstract
A model system for selective solubilization and fast separation of proteins from the rat liver membrane fraction and purified rat liver plasma membranes for their further proteomic analysis is presented. For selective solubilization, high-pH solutions and a concentrated urea solution, combined with different detergents, are used. After extraction, proteins are separated by anion-exchange chromatography or a combination of anion- and cation-exchange chromatography with convective interaction monolithic supports. This separation method enables fast and effective prefractionation of membrane proteins based on their hydrophobicity and charge prior to one-dimensional (1-D) and 2-D electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. By use of this sample preparation method, the less-abundant proteins can be detected and identified.

Abstract
Proteomics has emerged as a major discipline that led to a re-examination of the need for consensus and a nationally sanctioned set of proteomics technology standards. Such standards for databases and data reporting may be applied to two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D PAGE) technology as a pilot project for assessing global and national needs in proteomics, and the role of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and other similar standards and measurement organizations. The experience of harmonizing the heterogeneous data included in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) provides a paradigm for technology in an area where significant heterogeneity in technical detail and data storage has evolved. Here we propose an approach toward standardizing mitochondrial 2D PAGE data in support of a globally relevant proteomics consensus.

Abstract
Mitochondrial diseases may be caused by numerous mutations that alter proteins of the respiratory chain and of other metabolic pathways in the mitochondrium. For clinicians this disease group poses a considerable diagnostic challenge due to ambiguous genotype-phenotype relationships. Until now, only 30% of the mitochondriopathies can be diagnosed at the molecular level. We therefore need a new diagnostic tool that offers a wide view on the mitochondrial proteins. Here, we present a method to generate a high-resolution, large-gel two-dimensional gel electrophoretic (2-DE) map of a purified fraction of mitochondrial proteins from Epstein-Barr virus-immortalized lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL). LCLs can be easily obtained from patients and control subjects in a routine clinical setting. They often express the biochemical phenotype and can be cultured to high cell numbers, sufficient to gain enough purified material for 2-DE. In total we identified 166 mitochondrial proteins. Thirteen proteins were earlier not known to be of mitochondrial origin. Thirty-nine proteins were associated with human diseases ranging from respiratory chain enzyme deficiencies to disorders of beta-oxidation and amino acid metabolism. This 2-DE map is intended to be the first step to diagnose mitochondrial diseases at the proteomic level.

Abstract
In the present study we show results of a large-scale proteome analysis of the recently sequenced plant Arabidopsis thaliana. On the basis of a previously published sequential protein extraction protocol, we prepared protein extracts from eight different A. thaliana tissues (primary leaf, leaf, stem, silique, seedling, seed, root, and inflorescence) and analysed these by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. A total of 6000 protein spots, from three of these tissues, namely primary leaf, silique and seedling, were excised and the contained proteins were analysed by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of flight mass spectrometry peptide mass fingerprinting. This resulted in the identification of the proteins contained in 2943 spots, which were found to be products of 663 different genes. In this report we present and discuss the methodological and biological results of our plant proteome analysis.
