Abstract
Tandem mass tags (TMT) are usually introduced at the levels of isolated proteins or peptides. Here, for the first time, we report the labeling of whole cells and a critical evaluation of its performance in comparison to conventional labeling approaches. The obtained results indicated that TMT protein labeling using intact cells is generally possible, if it is coupled to a subsequent enrichment using anti-TMT antibody. The quantitative results were similar to those obtained after labeling of isolated proteins and both were found to be slightly complementary to peptide labeling. Furthermore, when using NHS-based TMT, no specificity towards cell surface proteins was observed in the case of cell labeling. In summary, the conducted study revealed first evidence for the general possibility of TMT cell labeling and highlighted limitations of NHS-based labeling reagents. Future studies should therefore focus on the synthesis and investigation of membrane impermeable TMTs to increase specificity towards cell surface proteins.

Propionibacterium freudenreichii Surface Protein SlpB Is Involved in Adhesion to Intestinal HT-29 Cells. Front Microbiol 2017; 8:1033. [PMID: 28642747 PMCID: PMC5462946 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2017.01033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2017] [Accepted: 05/23/2017] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Propionibacterium freudenreichii is a beneficial bacterium traditionally used as a cheese ripening starter and more recently for its probiotic abilities based on the release of beneficial metabolites. In addition to these metabolites (short-chain fatty acids, vitamins, and bifidogenic factor), P. freudenreichii revealed an immunomodulatory effect confirmed in vivo by the ability to protect mice from induced acute colitis. This effect is, however, highly strain-dependent. Local action of metabolites and of immunomodulatory molecules is favored by the ability of probiotics to adhere to the host cells. This property depends on key surface compounds, still poorly characterized in propionibacteria. In the present study, we showed different adhesion rates to cultured human intestinal cells, among strains of P. freudenreichii. The most adhesive one was P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA 129, which is known to expose surface-layer proteins. We evidenced here the involvement of these proteins in adhesion to cultured human colon cells. We then aimed at deciphering the mechanisms involved in adhesion. Adhesion was inhibited by antibodies raised against SlpB, one of the surface-layer proteins in P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA 129. Inactivation of the corresponding gene suppressed adhesion, further evidencing the key role of slpB product in cell adhesion. This work confirms the various functions fulfilled by surface-layer proteins, including probiotic/host interactions. It opens new perspectives for the understanding of probiotic determinants in propionibacteria, and for the selection of the most efficient strains within the P. freudenreichii species.

Abstract
The present study examined the cell surface proteome of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSC) compared to human fibroblasts. Cell surface proteins were prelabelled with CyDye before processing to extract the membrane lysates, which were separated using 2D electrophoresis. Selected differentially expressed protein “spots” were identified using Mass spectrometry. Four proteins were selected for validation: CD73, CD90, Annexin A2, and sphingosine kinase 1 previously associated with mesenchymal stem cells. Flow cytometric analysis found that CD73 and CD90 were highly expressed by human PDLSC and gingival fibroblasts but not by keratinocytes, indicating that these antigens could be used as potential markers for distinguishing between mesenchymal cells and epithelial cell populations. Annexin A2 was also found to be expressed at low copy number on the cell surface of human PDLSC and gingival fibroblasts, while human keratinocytes lacked any cell surface expression of Annexin A2. In contrast, sphingosine kinase 1 expression was detected in all the cell types examined using immunocytochemical analysis. These proteomic studies form the foundation to further define the cell surface protein expression profile of PDLSC in order to better characterise this cell population and help develop novel strategies for the purification of this stem cell population.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Sophisticated strategies to analyze cell surface proteins are indispensable to study fundamental biological processes, such as the response of cells to environmental changes or cell-cell communication. Herein, we describe a refined mass spectrometry-based approach for the specific characterization and quantitation of cell surface proteins expressed in the female reproductive tract. The strategy is based on in situ biotinylation of rabbit oviducts, affinity enrichment of surface exposed biotin tagged proteins and dimethyl labeling of the obtained tryptic peptides followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. This approach proved to be sensitive enough to analyze small sample amounts (<1μg) and allowed further to trace the dynamic composition of the surface proteome of the oviductal epithelium in response to male gametes. The relative protein expression ratios of 175 proteins were quantified. Thirty-one of them were found to be altered over time, namely immediately, 1h and 2h after insemination compared to the time-matched control groups. Functional analysis demonstrated that structural reorganization of the oviductal epithelial cell surface was involved in the early response of the female organ to semen. In summary, this study outlines a workflow that is capable to monitor alterations in the female oviduct that are related to key reproductive processes in vivo. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE The proper interaction between the female reproductive tract, in particular, the oviduct and the male gametes, is fundamental to fertilization and embryonic development under physiological conditions. Thereby the oviductal epithelial cell surface proteins play an important role. Besides their direct interaction with male gametes, these molecules participate in signal transduction and, thus, are involved in the mandatory cellular response of the oviductal epithelium. In this study we present a refined LC-MS/MS based workflow that is capable to quantitatively analyze the expression of oviductal epithelial cell surface proteins in response to insemination in vivo. A special focus was on the very early interaction between the female organ and the male gametes. At first, this study clearly revealed an immediate response of the surface proteome to semen, which was modulated over time. The described methodology can be applied for studies of further distinct biological events in the oviduct and therefore contribute to a deeper insight into the formation of new life.

Abstract
The technique of two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis is a powerful tool for separating complex mixtures of proteins, but since its inception in the mid 1970s, it acquired the stigma of being a very difficult application to master and was generally used to its best effect by experts. The introduction of commercially available immobilized pH gradients in the early 1990s provided enhanced reproducibility and easier protocols, leading to a pronounced increase in popularity of the technique. However gel-to-gel variation was still difficult to control without the use of technical replicates. In the mid 1990s (at the same time as the birth of "proteomics"), the concept of multiplexing fluorescently labeled proteins for 2D gel separation was realized by Jon Minden's group and has led to the ability to design experiments to virtually eliminate gel-to-gel variation, resulting in biological replicates being used for statistical analysis with the ability to detect very small changes in relative protein abundance. This technology is referred to as 2D difference gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE).

Abstract
Angiogenesis is crucial for tumor growth and hematogenous metastasis. Specifically expressed and functional protein molecules in angiogenic endothelial cells, especially on the plasma membrane, may be molecular targets for antiangiogenic drugs and drug delivery systems (DDS) in cancer therapy. To discover such target molecules, we performed subcellular proteome analysis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with or without vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) using 2-dimensional difference in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS). Among the identified proteins, BiP/GRP78, a molecular chaperone, was highly expressed in the membrane/organelle fraction of HUVECs after VEGF treatment. The involvement of BiP in VEGF-induced angiogenesis was examined by RNA interference. BiP knockdown significantly suppressed VEGF-induced endothelial cell proliferation and VEGF-induced phosphorylation of extracellular-regulated kinase 1/2, phospholipase C-γ, and VEGF receptor-2 in HUVECs. Cell surface biotinylation analysis revealed that the cell surface expression of BiP was elevated in VEGF-activated HUVECs. Aiming to apply BiP to a target molecule in liposomal DDS, we developed liposomes modified with the WIFPWIQL peptide, which has been shown to bind to BiP, and investigated its potential for cancer therapy. The WIFPWIQL-modified liposomes (WIFPWIQL liposomes) were significantly taken up by VEGF-activated HUVECs as compared to peptide-unmodified liposomes. WIFPWIQL liposomes appeared to accumulate in tumor endothelial cells in vivo. WIFPWIQL liposomes containing doxorubicin significantly suppressed tumor growth and prolonged the survival of colon26 NL-17 carcinoma cell-bearing mice. In summary, BiP may regulate VEGF-induced endothelial cell proliferation through VEGFR-2-mediated signaling and be an effective target molecule for cancer antineovascular therapy.

Abstract
Innate and adaptive immunity are considered critical to protection against mucosal candidal infections. Among innate anti-Candida mechanisms, oral and vaginal epithelial cells have antifungal activity. The mechanism is fungistatic, acid-labile and includes a requirement for cell contact by intact, but not necessarily live, epithelial cells. The purpose of this study was to use the acid-labile property to further characterize the effector moiety. Surface material extracted from phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) -treated, but not acid-treated, epithelial cells significantly inhibited the growth of Candida blastoconidia in a dose-dependent manner which was abrogated by prior heat and protease treatment. Proteins extracted from PBS-treated cells bound blastoconidia and hyphae more intensely than those from acid-treated cells. Proteins from PBS-treated cells eluted from Candida revealed two unique bands of approximately 33 and 45 kDa compared with acid-treated cells. Mass spectrometry identified these proteins as Annexin-A1 and actin, respectively. Oral epithelial cells stained positive for Annexin-A1, but not actin. Western blots showed reduced Annexin-A1 in proteins from acid-treated epithelial cells compared with those from PBS-treated epithelial cells. Lastly, it was demonstrated that immunoprecipitation of Annexin-A1 from proteins extracted from PBS-treated oral epithelial cells resulted in abrogation of inhibitory activity. Taken together, these results indicate that Annexin-A1 is a strong candidate for the epithelial cell anti-Candida effector protein.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is essential to subculture the cells once cultured cells reach confluence. For this, trypsin is frequently applied to dissociate adhesive cells from the substratum. However, due to the proteolytic activity of trypsin, cell surface proteins are often cleaved, which leads to dysregulation of the cell functions. METHODS In this study, a triplicate 2D-DIGE strategy has been performed to monitor trypsin-induced proteome alterations. The differentially expressed spots were identified by MALDI-TOF MS and validated by immunoblotting. RESULTS 36 proteins are found to be differentially expressed in cells treated with trypsin, and proteins that are known to regulate cell metabolism, growth regulation, mitochondrial electron transportation and cell adhesion are down-regulated and proteins that regulate cell apoptosis are up-regulated after trypsin treatment. Further study shows that bcl-2 is down-regulated, p53 and p21 are both up-regulated after trypsinization. CONCLUSIONS In summary, this is the first report that uses the proteomic approach to thoroughly study trypsin-induced cell physiological changes and provides researchers in carrying out their experimental design.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microparticles (MPs) with procoagulant activity are present in human atherosclerosis, but no detailed information is available on their composition. METHODS AND RESULTS To obtain insights into the role of MPs in atherogenesis, MP proteins were identified by tandem mass spectrometry, metabolite profiles were determined by high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and antibody reactivity was assessed against combinatorial antigen libraries. Plaque MPs expressed surface antigens consistent with their leukocyte origin, including major histocompatibility complex classes I and II, and induced a dose-dependent stimulatory effect on T-cell proliferation. Notably, taurine, the most abundant free organic acid in human neutrophils, which scavenges myeloperoxidase-catalyzed free radicals, was highly enriched in plaque MPs. Moreover, fluorescent labeling of proteins on the MP surface suggested immunoglobulins to be trapped inside, which was confirmed by flow cytometry analysis on permeabilized and nonpermeabilized plaque MPs. Colabeling for CD14 and IgG established that more than 90% of the IgG containing MPs were CD14(+), indicating a macrophage origin. Screening against an antigen library revealed that the immunologic profiles of antibodies in MPs were similar to those found in plaques but differed profoundly from antibodies in plasma and unexpectedly, showed strong reactions with oligosaccharide antigens, in particular blood group antigen A. CONCLUSIONS This study provides the first evidence that immunoglobulins are present within MPs derived from plaque macrophages, that the portfolio of plaque antibodies is different from circulating antibodies in plasma, and that anticarbohydrate antibodies are retained in human atherosclerotic lesions.

Abstract
How HIV-1 affects the monocyte proteome is incompletely understood. We posit that one functional consequence of virus-exposure to the monocyte is the facilitation of protein transformation from the cytosol to the plasma membrane (PM). To test this, cell surface labeling with CyDye fluorophores followed by 2 dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was performed. Fifty three percent of HIV-1 induced proteins were PM associated. These were linked, in large measure, to cellular activation and oxidative stress. They included, but not limited to, biliverdin reductase, leukotriene hydrolase A(4), heat shock protein 70, and cystatin B. HIV-1 induced PM protein translocation was associated with cathepsin B- and caspase 9, 3-dependent apoptosis. In contrast, PMA-treated monocytes bypassed caspase 3, 9 pathways and lead to cathepsin B-dependent necrosis. These results demonstrate that HIV-1 uniquely affects monocyte activation and oxidative stress. These do not affect viral infection dynamics but are linked to stress-induced cell death.

Abstract
The outermost cell envelope structure of many archaea and bacteria contains a proteinaceous lattice termed the surface layer or S-layer. It is typically composed of only one or two abundant, often posttranslationally modified proteins that self-assemble to form the highly organized arrays. Surprisingly, over 100 proteins were annotated to be S-layer components in the archaeal species Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A and Methanosarcina mazei Gö1, reflecting limitations of current predictions. An in vivo biotinylation methodology was devised to affinity tag surface-exposed proteins while overcoming unique challenges in working with these fragile organisms. Cells were adapted to growth under N2 fixing conditions, thus, minimizing free amines reactive to the NHS-label, and high pH media compatible with the acylation chemistry was used. A 3-phase separation procedure was employed to isolate intact, labeled cells from lysed-cell derived proteins. Streptavidin affinity enrichment followed by stringent wash conditions removed nonspecifically bound proteins. This methodology revealed S-layer proteins in M. acetivorans C2A and M. mazei Gö1 to be MA0829 and MM1976, respectively. Each was demonstrated to exist as multiple glycosylated forms using SDS-PAGE coupled with glycoprotein-specific staining, and by interaction with the lectin, Concanavalin A. A number of additional surface-exposed proteins and glycoproteins were identified and included all three subunits of the thermosome: the latter suggests that the chaperonin complex is both surface- and cytoplasmically localized. This approach provides an alternative strategy to study surface proteins in the archaea.

Abstract
Ultrastructural alterations of podocytes are closely associated with loss of glomerular filtration function. In the present study, we explored changes at the proteome level that paralleled the disturbances of podocyte architecture in the early stages of puromycin aminonucleoside (PA) nephrosis in vivo. Using two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis and vacuum matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry combined with postsource decay fragment ion analysis and high-energy collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry, 23 differentially expressed protein spots, corresponding to 16 glomerular proteins that are involved in various cellular functions, were unambiguously identified, and a subset was corroborated by Western blot analysis. The majority of these proteins were primarily related to fatty acid metabolism and redox regulation. Key enzymes of the mitochondrial beta-oxidation pathway and antioxidant enzymes were consistently down-regulated in PA nephrosis. These changes were paralleled by increased expression levels of CD36. PA treatment of murine podocytes in culture resembled these specific protein changes in vitro. In this cell system, the modulatory effects of albumin-bound fatty acids on the expression levels of Mn-superoxide dismutase in response to PA were demonstrated as well. Taken together, these results indicate that a disrupted fatty acid metabolism in concert with an impaired antioxidant defense mechanism in podocytes may play a role in the early stages of PA-induced lesions in podocytes.

Abstract
Surface proteins are central to the cell's ability to react to its environment and to interact with neighboring cells. They are known to be inducers of almost all intracellular signaling. Moreover, they play an important role in environmental adaptation and drug treatment, and are often involved in disease pathogenesis and pathology (1). Protein-protein interactions are intrinsic to signaling pathways, and to gain more insight in these complex biological processes, sensitive and reliable methods are needed for studying cell surface proteins. Two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis is used extensively for detection of biomarkers and other targets in complex protein samples to study differential changes. Cell surface proteins, partly due to their low abundance (1 2% of cellular proteins), are difficult to detect in a 2-D gel without fractionation or some other type of enrichment. They are also often poorly represented in 2-D gels due to their hydrophobic nature and high molecular weight (2). In this study, we present a new protocol for intact cells using CyDye DIGE Fluor minimal dyes for specific labeling and detection of this important group of proteins. The results showed specific labeling of a large number of cell surface proteins with minimal labeling of intracellular proteins. This protocol is rapid, simple to use, and all three CyDye DIGE Fluor minimal dyes (Cy 2, Cy 3 and Cy 5) can be used to label cell-surface proteins. These features allow for multiplexing using the 2-D Fluorescence Difference Gel Electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) with Ettan DIGE technology and analysis of protein expression changes using DeCyder 2-D Differential Analysis Software. The level of cell-surface proteins was followed during serum starvation of CHO cells for various lengths of time (see Table 1). Small changes in abundance were detected with high accuracy, and results are supported by defined statistical methods.

Abstract
Cultivated vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) were surface-labeled with CyDyes followed by biotinylation. After enrichment on avidin columns, proteins were separated on large format gradient gels by SDS-PAGE. A comparison between CyDye-tagged and non-tagged gel bands revealed a substantial increase of protein identifications from membrane, membrane-associated, and extracellular matrix proteins with a corresponding reduction in co-purified intracellular proteins. Notably the majority of identified proteins were involved in cellular adhesion processes. To demonstrate the quantitative potential of this platform, we performed a comparison between mature and embryonic stem cell-derived smooth muscle cells (esSMCs) and identified the membrane proteins E-cadherin, integrin alpha6, and CD98 (4F2) to be significantly up-regulated in esSMCs suggesting that SMCs derived from embryonic stem cells maintain characteristics of their embryonic stem cell origin. This was subsequently confirmed by RT-PCR: despite expressing a panel of smooth muscle markers (calponin, Sm22, and aortic smooth muscle actin), esSMCs remained positive for markers of stem cell pluripotency (Oct4, Nanog, and Rex1). In summary, we describe a novel strategy for the profiling of cell membrane proteins. The procedure combines DIGE technology with biotin/avidin labeling to discriminate membrane and membrane-associated proteins from intracellular contaminants by fluorescence tagging and permits semiquantitative differential expression analysis of membrane proteins.

Abstract
A rapid method of detection and identification of bacterial cell surface proteins is needed to better understand the interaction of bacteria with host components. To detect cell surface proteins, we have labeled cells of the Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, Porphyromonas gingivalis, with fluorescent cyanine dyes, Cy3 and Cy5. We demonstrate that only cell surface proteins were labeled, indicating the method applied in our study is suitable for detection and identification of cell surface proteins in Gram-negative bacteria and possibly other organisms.

Abstract
Mass spectrometric based sequencing of enzymatic generated peptides is widely used to obtain specific sequence tags allowing the unambiguous identification of proteins. In the present study, two types of desorption/ionization techniques combined with different modes of ion dissociation, namely vacuum matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (vMALDI) high energy collision induced dissociation (CID) and post-source decay (PSD) as well as atmospheric pressure (AP)-MALDI low energy CID, were applied for the fragmentation of singly protonated peptide ions, which were derived from two-dimensional separated, silver-stained and trypsin-digested hydrophilic as well as hydrophobic glomerular proteins. Thereby, defined properties of the individual fragmentation pattern generated by the specified modes could be observed. Furthermore, the compatibility of the varying PSD and CID (MS/MS) data with database search derived identification using two public accessible search algorithms has been evaluated. The peptide sequence tag information obtained by PSD and high energy CID enabled in the majority of cases an unambiguous identification. In contrast, part of the data obtained by low energy CID were not assignable using similar search parameters and therefore no clear results were obtainable. The knowledge of the properties of available MALDI-based fragmentation techniques presents an important factor for data interpretation using public accessible search algorithms and moreover for the identification of two-dimensional gel separated proteins.

Abstract
This review recollects literature data on sensitivity and dynamic range for the most commonly used colorimetric and fluorescent dyes for general protein staining, and summarizes procedures for the most common PTM-specific detection methods. It also compiles some important points to be considered in imaging and evaluation. In addition to theoretical considerations, examples are provided to illustrate differential staining of specific proteins with different detection methods. This includes a large body of original data on the comparative evaluation of several pre- and post-electrophoresis stains used in parallel on a single specimen, horse serum run in 2-DE (IPG-DALT). A number of proteins/protein spots are found to be over- or under-revealed with some of the staining procedures.

Abstract
Limited number of important discoveries have greatly contributed to the progresses achieved in the blood transfusion; ABO histo-blood groups, citrate as anticoagulant, fractionation of plasma proteins, plastic bags and apheresis machines. Three major types of blood products are transfused to patients: red cell concentrates, platelet concentrates and fresh frozen plasma. Several parameters of these products change during storage process and they have been well studied over the years. However, several aspects have completely been ignored; in particular those related to peptide and protein changes. This review presents what has been done using proteomic tools and the potentials of proteomics for transfusion medicine.
