Abstract
P19 embryonal carcinoma cells (EC-cells) provide a simple and robust culture system for studying neural development. Most protocols developed so far for directing neural differentiation of P19 cells depend on the use of culture medium supplemented with retinoic acid (RA) and serum, which has an undefined composition. Hence, such protocols are not suitable for many molecular studies. In this study, we achieved neural differentiation of P19 cells in a serum- and RA-free culture medium by employing the knockout serum replacement (KSR) supplement. In the KSR-containing medium, P19 cells underwent predominant differentiation into neural lineage and by day 12 of culture, neural cells were present in 100% of P19-derived embryoid bodies (EBs). This was consistently accompanied by the increased expression of various neural lineage-associated markers during the course of differentiation. P19-derived neural cells comprised of NES+ neural progenitors (~ 46%), TUBB3+ immature neurons (~ 6%), MAP2+ mature neurons (~ 2%), and GFAP+ astrocytes (~ 50%). A heterogeneous neuronal population consisting of glutamatergic, GABAergic, serotonergic, and dopaminergic neurons was generated. Taken together, our study shows that the KSR medium is suitable for the differentiation of P19 cells to neural lineage without requiring additional (serum and RA) supplements. This stem cell differentiation system could be utilized for gaining mechanistic insights into neural differentiation and for identifying potential neuroactive compounds.

Abstract
Resistance to anticancer therapy is a major obstacle for successful management of patients in oncology. Although in the past, various biological mechanisms involved in therapy resistance, in particular multidrug resistance, have been identified, cancer patients did not really benefit. The mechanisms include the enhanced activity of drug extrusion pumps, modulation of cellular death pathways, alteration and repair of target molecules and various other mechanisms. Together they build a complex network mediating an individual therapy-resistant phenotype. The improved description of this multifactorial network should be useful for prediction of treatment response and would allow to design an individual-tailored therapy regiment. Proteome analyzing technologies appear as powerful tools for identifying new factors and protein expression profiles associated with anticancer therapy resistance. In the last years, the application of proteomic techniques identified multiple new factors or protein expression signatures in drug-resistant cell models and cancerous tissues. However, the functional role and the clinical impact of these findings are not yet clarified. So far, none of the proteomic data were useful for the development of improved diagnostic tests, for prediction of individual therapy response or for development of updated chemosensitizers. Here, the previous therapy resistance-related proteome data and future perspectives will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The immunosuppressive macrolide FK506 (tacrolimus) shows neuroregenerative action by a mechanism that appears to involve the Hsp90-binding immunophilin FKBP52. This study analyses some aspects of the early steps of neuronal differentiation and neuroregeneration. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Undifferentiated murine neuroblastoma cells and hippocampal neurones isolated from embryonic day-17 rat embryos were induced to differentiate with FK506. Subcellular relocalization of FKBP52, Hsp90 and its co-chaperone p23 was analysed by indirect immunofluorescence confocal microscopy and by Western blots of axonal fractions isolated from cells grown on a porous transwell cell culture chamber. Neuroregeneration was evaluated using a scratch-wound assay. KEY RESULTS In undifferentiated cells, FKBP52, Hsp90 and p23 are located in the cell nucleus, forming an annular structure that disassembles when the differentiation process is triggered by FK506. This was observed in the N2a cell line and in hippocampal neurones. More importantly, the annular structure of chaperones is reassembled after damaging the neurones, whereas FK506 prompts their rapid regeneration, a process linked to the subcellular redistribution of the heterocomplex. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS There is a direct relationship between the disassembly of the chaperone complex and the progression of neuronal differentiation upon stimulation with the immunophilin ligand FK506. Both neuronal differentiation and neuroregeneration appear to be mechanistically linked, so the elucidation of one mechanism may lead to unravel the properties of the other. This study also implies that the discovery of FK506 derivatives, devoid of immunosuppressive action, would be therapeutically significant for neurotrophic use.

Abstract
Background Neuroblastic tumors account for 9–10% of pediatric tumors and neuroblastoma (NB) is the first cause of death in pre-school age children. NB is classified in four stages, depending on the extent of spreading. A fifth type of NB, so-called stage 4S (S for special), includes patients with metastatic tumors but with an overall survival that approximates 75% at five years. In most of these cases, the tumor regresses spontaneously and regression is probably associated with delayed neuroblast cell differentiation. Methodology/Principal Findings In order to identify new early markers to follow and predict this process for diagnostic and therapeutics intents, we mimicked the differentiation process treating NB cell line SJ-NK-P with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) at different times; therefore the cell proteomic pattern by mass spectrometry and the phosphoproteomic pattern by a 2-DE approach coupled with anti-phosphoserine and anti-phosphotyrosine western blotting were studied. Conclusions/Significance Proteomic analysis identified only two proteins whose expression was significantly different in treated cells versus control cells: nucleoside diphosphate kinase A (NDKA) and reticulocalbin-1 (RCN1), which were both downregulated after 9 days of ATRA treatment. However, phosphoproteomic analysis identified 8 proteins that were differentially serine-phosphorylated and 3 that were differentially tyrosine-phosphorylated after ATRA treatment. All proteins were significantly regulated (at least 0.5-fold down-regulated). Our results suggest that differentially phosphorylated proteins could be considered as more promising markers of differentiation for NB than differentially expressed proteins.

Abstract
Mechanisms underlying neural stem cell proliferation, differentiation and maturation play a critical role in the formation and wiring of neuronal connections. This process involves the activation of multiple serial events, which guide the undifferentiated cells to different lineages via distinctive developmental programs, forming neuronal circuits and thus shaping the adult nervous system. Furthermore, alterations within these strictly regulated pathways can lead to severe neurological and psychiatric diseases. In this framework, the investigation of the high dynamic protein expression changes and other factors affecting protein functions, for example post-translational modifications, the alterations of protein interaction networks, is of pivotal importance for the understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for cell differentiation. More recently, proteomic studies in neuroscience ("neuroproteomics") are receiving increased interest for the primary understanding of the regulatory networks underlying neuronal differentiation processes. Besides the classical two-dimensional-based proteomic strategies, the emerging platforms for LC-MS shotgun proteomic analysis hold great promise in unraveling the molecular basis of neural stem cell differentiation. In this review, recent advancements in label-free LC-MS quantitative neuroproteomics are highlighted as a new tool for the study of neural differentiation and functions, in comparison to mass spectrometry-based labeling approaches. The more commonly used protein profiling strategies and model systems for the analysis of neural differentiation are also discussed, along with the challenging proteomic approaches aimed to analyze the nervous system-specific organelles, the neural cells secretome and the specific protein interaction networks.

Abstract
FKBP51 and FKBP52 (FK506-binding protein 51 and 52) are tetratricopeptide repeat-domain immunophilins belonging to the tetratricopeptide-protein•hsp90•hsp70•p23 heterocomplex bound to steroid receptors. Immunophilins are related to receptor folding, subcellular localization, and hormone-dependent transcription. Also, they bind the immunosuppressant macrolide FK506, which shows neuroregenerative and neuroprotective actions by a still unknown mechanism. In this study, we demonstrate that in both, undifferentiated neuroblastoma cells and embryonic hippocampal neurons, the FKBP52•hsp90•p23 heterocomplex concentrates in a perinuclear structure. Upon cell stimulation with FK506, this structure disassembles and this perinuclear area becomes transcriptionally active. The acquisition of a neuronal phenotype is accompanied by increased expression of βIII-tubulin, Map-2, Tau-1, but also hsp90, hsp70, p23, and FKBP52. During the early differentiation steps, the perinuclear heterocomplex redistributes along the cytoplasm and nascent neurites, p23 binds to intermediate filaments and microtubules acquired higher filamentary organization. While FKBP52 moves towards neurites and concentrates in arborization bodies and terminal axons, FKBP51, whose expression remains constant, replaces FKBP52 in the perinuclear structure. Importantly, neurite outgrowth is favored by FKBP52 over-expression or FKBP51 knock-down, and is impaired by FKBP52 knock-down or FKBP51 over-expression, indicating that the balance between these FK506-binding proteins plays a key role during the early mechanism of neuronal differentiation.

Abstract
Pancreatic beta-cells are vulnerable to multiple stresses, leading to dysfunction and apoptotic death. Deterioration in beta-cells function and mass is associated with type 2 diabetes. Comparative two-dimensional gel electrophoresis from pancreatic MIN6 cells that were maintained at varying glucose concentrations was carried out. An induced expression of a protein spot, detected in MIN6 cells experiencing high glucose concentration, was identified by mass spectrometry as the oxidized form of DJ-1. DJ-1 (park7) is a multifunctional protein implicated in familial Parkinsonism and neuroprotection in response to oxidative damage. The DJ-1 protein and its oxidized form were also induced following exposure to oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress in MIN6 and betaTC-6 cells and also in mouse pancreatic islets. Suppression of DJ-1 levels by small interfering RNA led to an accelerated cell death, whereas an increase in DJ-1 levels by adenovirus-based infection attenuated cell death induced by H(2)O(2) and thapsigargin in beta-cell lines and mouse pancreatic islets. Furthermore, DJ-1 improved regulated insulin secretion under basal as well as oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress conditions in a dose-dependent manner. We identified TFII-I (Gtf2i) as DJ-1 partner in the cytosol, whereas the binding of TFII-I to DJ-1 prevented TFII-I translocation to the nucleus. The outcome was attenuation of the stress response. Our results suggest that DJ-1 together with TFII-I operate in concert to cope with various insults and to sustain pancreatic beta-cell function.

Abstract
Tianeptine, an atypical tricyclic antidepressant with unique characteristics, can improve memory and prevent stress-induced hippocampal damage. It has neuroplastic and neurotrophic effects on hippocampal neurons and can prevent dendritic atrophy of the hippocampus in certain pathological conditions. To obtain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms, we performed a proteomic analysis on tianeptine-treated hippocampal neurons. Primary hippocampal neurons were prepared from fetal Sprague-Dawley rats, eliminating glia cells by addition of cytosine beta-D-arabinofuranoside at day 2 in vitro (DIV2). The neurons were treated with tianeptine (10 microg/mL) or vehicle at DIV3, then harvested at DIV4 or DIV9 for immunocytochemical analysis of, respectively, neurite outgrowth or synapse formation. A proteomics analysis was performed on DIV4 neurons and the data were confirmed by Western blot analysis. Using specific markers, we demonstrated that tianeptine can augment neurite growth and promote synaptic contacts in cultured hippocampal neurons. The proteomics analysis identified 11 differentially expressed proteins, with roles in neurite growth, metabolism of neurotrophic substances, synaptogenesis, and synaptic activity homeostasis. The data shed light on the mechanisms underlying the neurotrophic effect of tianeptine observed in both animal studies and the clinic.

Abstract
Although various glycoforms appear to participate independently in multiple molecular interactions in cellular adhesion that contribute to embryogenesis and organogenesis, a full portrait of the glycome diversity and the effect of the structural variations of cellular glycoforms on individual cell stages in proliferation and differentiation remain unclear. Here we describe a novel concept for the characterization of dynamic glycoform alteration during cell differentiation by means of "glycoblotting-based cellular glycomics," the only method allowing for rapid and quantitative glycan analysis. We demonstrated that processes of dynamic cellular differentiation of mouse embryonic carcinoma cells, P19CL6 and P19C6, and mouse embryonic stem cells into cardiomyocytes or neural cells can be monitored and characterized quantitatively by profiling entire N-glycan structures of total cell glycoproteins. Whole N-glycans enriched and identified by the glycoblotting method (67 glycans for P19CL6, 75 glycans for P19C6, and 72 glycans for embryonic stem cells) were profiled and bar-coded quantitatively with respect to the ratio of subgroups composed of characteristic glycoforms, namely glycotypes.

Abstract
Proteomics may help to elucidate differential signaling networks underlying the effects of compounds and to identify new therapeutic targets. Using a proteomic-multiplexed analysis of the phosphotyrosine signaling together with antibody-based validation techniques, we identified several candidate molecules for RET (rearranged during transfection) tyrosine kinase receptor carrying mutations responsible for the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A and 2B (MEN2A and MEN2B) syndromes in two human medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) cell lines, TT and MZ-CRC-1, which express the RET-MEN2A and RET-MEN2B oncoproteins, respectively. Signaling elements downstream of these oncoproteins were identified after treating cells with the indolinone tyrosine kinase inhibitor RPI-1 to knock down RET phosphorylation activity. We detected 23 and 18 affinity-purified phosphotyrosine proteins in untreated TT and MZ-CRC-1 cells, respectively, most of which were shared and sensitive to RPI-1 treatment. However, our data clearly point to specific signaling features of the RET-MEN2A and RET-MEN2B oncogenic pathways. Moreover, the detection of high-level expression of minimally phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in both TT and MZ-CRC-1 cells, together with our data on the effects of EGF stimulation on the proteomic profiles and the response to Gefitinib treatment, suggest the relevance of EGFR signaling in these cell lines, especially since analysis of 14 archival MTC specimens revealed EGFR mRNA expression in all samples. Together, our data suggest that RET/EGFR multi-target inhibitors might be beneficial for therapy of MTC.

Abstract
The isolation of neural stem cells from fetal and adult mammalian CNS and the demonstration of functional neurogenesis in adult CNS have offered perspectives for treatment of many devastating hereditary and acquired neurological diseases. Due to this enormous potential, neural stem cells are a subject of extensive molecular profiling studies with a search for new markers and regulatory pathways governing their self-renewal as opposed to differentiation. Several in-depth proteomic studies have been conducted on primary or immortalized cultures of neural stem cells and neural progenitor cells, and yet more remains to be done. Additionally, neurons and glial cells have been obtained from embryonic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells, and proteins associated with the differentiation process have been characterized to a certain degree with a view to further investigations. This review summarizes recent findings relevant to the proteomics of neural stem cells and discusses major proteins significantly regulated during neural stem cell differentiation with a view to their future use in cell-based regenerative and reparative therapy.

Abstract
Identification of proteins by mass spectrometry (MS) is an essential step in proteomic studies and is typically accomplished by either peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) or amino acid sequencing of the peptide. Although sequence information from MS/MS analysis can be used to validate PMF-based protein identification, it may not be practical when analyzing a large number of proteins and when high- throughput MS/MS instrumentation is not readily available. At present, a vast majority of proteomic studies employ PMF. However, there are huge disparities in criteria used to identify proteins using PMF. Therefore, to reduce incorrect protein identification using PMF, and also to increase confidence in PMF-based protein identification without accompanying MS/MS analysis, definitive guiding principles are essential. To this end, we propose a value-based scoring system that provides guidance on evaluating when PMF-based protein identification can be deemed sufficient without accompanying amino acid sequence data from MS/MS analysis.

Abstract
The embryonal carcinoma P19 cells provide a model to study neuronal differentiation. Cells that are exposed to retinoic acid become mature neurons within a few days with a pronounced axonal and dendritic polarity. Notably, an accelerated rate of neurite extension characterizes densely but not sparsely plated cells. DNA microarray experiments show maximal differences in gene expression of the dense compared to sparse plated cultures at 18 h after plating. The differentially expressed genes are enriched by functions of cell adhesion and cytoskeletal regulation. Doublecortin, Lis1, Reelin, Map2 and dozens of proteins that regulate cytoskeleton dynamics increase in concordance with a rapid neurite extension. A brief elevation in intracellular cAMP via PKA is sufficient to instigate the phenotype of accelerated neurite extension with no effect on P19 cell fate. Furthermore, we show that the cAMP dependent changes in the expression of cytoskeleton regulators such as doublecortin are restricted to a short time window prior to the establishment of functional neurons. We propose that the wave of gene expression of cytoskeletal regulators that is accompanied by accelerated neurite extension acts in remodeling young developing neurons in the CNS.

Abstract
A quantitative proteomic analysis of changes in protein expression accompanying the differentiation of P19 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells into neuron-like cells using isobaric tag technology coupled with LC-MS/MS revealed protein changes reflecting withdrawal from the cell cycle accompanied by a dynamic reorganization of the cytoskeleton and an up-regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis. Further study of quantitative changes in abundance of individual proteins in a purified mitochondrial fraction showed that most mitochondrial proteins increased significantly in abundance. A set of chaperone proteins did not participate in this increase, suggesting that neuron-like cells are relatively deficient in mitochondrial chaperones. We developed a procedure to account for differences in recovery of mitochondrial proteins during purification of organelles from distinct cell or tissue sources. Proteomic data supported by RT-PCR analysis suggests that enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis during neuronal differentiation may reflect a large increase in expression of PGC-1alpha combined with down-regulation of its negative regulator, p160 Mybbp1a.

Abstract
Most animal toxins are short proteins that appear in venom and vary in sequence, structure and function. A common characteristic of many such toxins is their apparent structural stability. Sporadic instances of endogenous toxin-like proteins that function in non-venom context have been reported. We have utilized machine learning methodology, based on sequence-derived features and guided by the notion of structural stability, in order to conduct a large-scale search for toxin and toxin-like proteins. Application of the method to insect and mammalian sequences revealed novel families of toxin-like proteins. One of these proteins shows significant similarity to ion channel inhibitors that are expressed in cone snail and assassin bug venom, and is surprisingly expressed in the bee brain. A toxicity assay in which the protein was injected to fish induced a strong yet reversible paralytic effect. We suggest that the protein may function as an endogenous modulator of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels. Additionally, we have identified a novel mammalian cluster of toxin-like proteins that are expressed in the testis. We suggest that these proteins might be involved in regulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors that affect the acrosome reaction and sperm motility. Finally, we highlight a possible evolutionary link between venom toxins and antibacterial proteins. We expect our methodology to enhance the discovery of additional novel protein families.
