Abstract
Obtaining accurate protein profiles from homogeneous cell populations in heterogeneous tissues can enhance the capability to discover protein biomarkers. In this context, methodologies to access specific cellular populations and analyze their proteome with exquisite sensitivity have to be selected. We report here the results of an investigation using a combination of laser microdissection and accurate mass and time tag proteomics. The study was aimed at the precise determination of proteome alterations in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ICC, a markedly heterogeneous tumor. This cancer, which is difficult to diagnose and carries a very poor prognosis, has shown an unexplained increase in incidence over the last few years. Among a pool of 574 identified proteins, we were able to report on altered abundance patterns affecting 39 proteins conforming to a variety of potential tumorigenic pathways. The reliability of the proteomics results was confirmed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry on matched samples. Most of the proteins displaying perturbed abundances had not yet been described in the setting of ICC. These include proteins involved in cell mobility and actin cytoskeleton remodeling, which may participate in the epithelial to mesenchymal transition, a process invoked in migration and invasion of cancer cells. The biological relevance of these findings was explored using a tissue microarray. An increased abundance of vimentin was thus detected in 70% of ICC and none of the controls. These results suggest that vimentin could play a role in the aggressiveness of ICC and provide a basis for the serious outcome of this cancer.

Abstract
The formation of bile depends on the structural and functional integrity of the bile-secretory apparatus and its impairment, in different situations, results in the syndrome of cholestasis. The structural bases that permit bile secretion as well as various aspects related with its composition and flow rate in physiological conditions will first be reviewed. Canalicular bile is produced by polarized hepatocytes that hold transporters in their basolateral (sinusoidal) and apical (canalicular) plasma membrane. This review summarizes recent data on the molecular determinants of this primary bile formation. The major function of the biliary tree is modification of canalicular bile by secretory and reabsorptive processes in bile-duct epithelial cells (cholangiocytes) as bile passes through bile ducts. The mechanisms of fluid and solute transport in cholangiocytes will also be discussed. In contrast to hepatocytes where secretion is constant and poorly controlled, cholangiocyte secretion is regulated by hormones and nerves. A short section dedicated to these regulatory mechanisms of bile secretion has been included. The aim of this revision was to set the bases for other reviews in this series that will be devoted to specific issues related with biliary physiology and pathology.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma, a primary liver tumour that arises from biliary epithelial cells, is increasing in incidence and has poor prognosis. Diagnosis is difficult, particularly in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, who are at risk of developing the disease. Timely diagnosis is essential because surgical resection in early disease remains the only cure. The lack of a sensitive and specific early diagnostic marker and of alternative treatments are the main reasons why patients have limited survival. The use of proteomic-based approaches, which analyse the physiological or pathological complement of proteins (ie, the proteome) in cells, tissues, or biological fluids, has received substantial interest in biomarker discovery. Proteomics complements genomic studies and examines functional end-units quantitatively and qualitatively, including post-translational modifications which might vary with disease and might have key roles in protein function or localisation. Major advances in technology and bioinformatics have enhanced proteomic studies, resulting in increased understanding of the pathogenesis of many diseases and in biomarker discovery with effective use of tissues, cell lines, and biological fluids. We review the current status and promise of proteomic-based approaches in biomarker discovery for cholangiocarcinoma.

Abstract
Proteomics, i.e. the high throughput separation, display and identification of proteins, has the potential to be a powerful tool in drug development. It could increase the predictability of early drug development and identify non-invasive biomarkers of toxicity or efficacy. This review provides an introduction to modern proteomics, with particular reference to applications in toxicology. A literature search was carried out to identify studies in two broad classes: screening/predictive toxicology, and mechanistic toxicology. The strengths and limitations of current methods and the likely impact of techniques in drug development are also considered. Proteomics can increase the speed and sensitivity of toxicological screening by identifying protein markers of toxicity. Proteomics studies have already provided insights into the mechanisms of action of a wide range of substances, from metals to peroxisome proliferators. Current limitations involving speed of throughput are being overcome by increasing automation and the development of new techniques. The isotope-coded affinity tag (ICAT) method appears particularly promising. The application of proteomics to drug development has given rise to the new field of pharmacoproteomics. New associations between proteins and toxicopathological effects are constantly being identified, and major progress is on the horizon as we move into the post-genomic era.

Abstract
In this review we list from literature investigations on rat serum proteins using electrophoretic techniques in connection with drug testing. From our own research work, we provide annotated two-dimensional maps of rat serum proteins under control and experimental conditions. Emphasis is on species-specific components and on the effects of acute and chronic inflammation. We discuss our project of structural proteomics on rat serum as a minimally invasive approach to pharmacological investigation, and we outline a typical experimental plan for drug testing according to the above guidelines. We then report in detail on the results of our trials of anti-inflammatory drugs on adjuvant arthritis, an animal model of disease resembling in many aspects human rheumatoid arthritis. We demonstrate a correlation between biochemical parameters and therapeutic findings and outline the advantages of the chosen methodological approach, which proved also sensitive in revealing "side effects" of the test drugs. In an appendix we describe our experimental protocol when performing two-dimensional electrophoresis of rat serum.

Abstract
summary In order to gain insight into the biology of the parasitic relationship between Heterodera schachtii and its host plant, it is important to understand the functional role of the nematode's pharyngeal secretions. These secretions presumably play a key role in establishing and maintaining a feeding site for the nematode. An optimized method was used for the in vitro production of H. schachtii pharyngeal gland secretions. These pharyngeal secretions were mainly produced in an insoluble form and could be solubilized under denaturing conditions for further analysis. The soluble fraction was concentrated with StrataClean (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) or with a phenol/ether extraction. These methods made it possible for the first time to separate the secreted proteins on two-dimensional gels. By combining a micropreparative sample preparation with mass spectrometry, two beta-1,4-endoglucanases were identified. A third spot was identified as a novel protein by microsequencing. This is the first report on protein sequence information from pharyngeal secretions of a plant parasitic nematode.
