Abstract
The clinical application of heart valve scaffolds is hindered by complications associated with the activation of valvular interstitial cell-like (VIC-like) cells and their transdifferentiation into myofibroblasts. This study aimed to examine several molecular pathway(s) that may trigger the overactive myofibroblast phenotypes in the implanted scaffolds. So, we investigated the influence of three molecular pathways - macrophage-induced inflammation, the TGF-β1-SMAD2, and WNT/β-catenin β on VIC-like cells during tissue engineering of heart valve scaffolds. We implanted electrospun heart valve scaffolds in adult sheep for up to 6 months in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and analyzed biomolecular (gene and protein) expression associated with the above three pathways by the scaffold infiltrating cells. The results showed a gradual increase in gene and protein expression of markers related to the activation of VIC-like cells and the myofibroblast phenotypes over 6 months of scaffold implantation. Conversely, there was a gradual increase in macrophage activity for the first three months after scaffold implantation. However, a decrease in macrophage activity from three to six months of scaffold tissue engineering suggested that immunological signal factors were not the primary cause of myofibroblast phenotype. Similarly, the gene and protein expression of factors associated with the TGF-β1-SMAD2 pathway in the cells increased in the first three months but declined in the next three months. Contrastingly, the gene and protein expression of factors associated with the WNT/β-catenin pathway increased significantly over the six-month study. Thus, the WNT/β-catenin pathway could be the predominant mechanism in activating VIC-like cells and subsequent myofibroblast phenotype.

Abstract
Objective: Amniotic fluid (AF) plays a crucial role in diagnosing and predicting perinatal diseases, specifically preeclampsia (PE). Adequate preservation of AF samples is essential for advancing the development of PE-related biomarkers and understanding the disease's mechanisms. Materials and Methods: This study presents a method for preserving proteins in AF on a solid medium, specifically a nitrocellulose membrane, which is referred to as an AF membrane. Samples were collected from normotensive subjects and PE patients and treated with direct freezing and the AF membrane methods, respectively. Protein quality was assessed through sodium dodecyl sulfate-page and capillary electrophoresis. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with data-independent acquisition was employed for proteomic analysis. Bioinformatics analysis identified differentially expressed proteins and pathways distinguishing normotensive subjects from PE patients. Results: Comparison of the AF membrane method to the direct freezing method showed no significant impact on the protein content in the AF. The preservation methods employed did not result in evident protein differences or degradation in the AF obtained from both normotensive subjects and PE patients. Analysis based on Gene Ontology and HALLMARK gene sets revealed the upregulation of pathways associated with angiotensin, reactive oxygen species, and coagulation in PE patients. Furthermore, several biomarkers previously reported to be increased in PE serum, namely ENG, ERN1, FLT1, GDF15, HSPA5, LGALS3, PAPPA, PTX3, and SERPINE1, were significantly elevated in the AF. Conclusion: The AF membrane method proved to be highly effective, reliable, and durable for preserving proteins in AF samples. Preserving AF samples in a solid state holds significant value in discovering novel protein biomarkers and investigating the underlying mechanisms of PE.

Abstract
Proteins are crucial research molecules in modern biology. Almost every biological research area needs protein-based assays to answer the research questions. The study of the total protein content of a biological sample known as Proteomics, is one of the highly rated qualitative and quantitative approach to address numerous biological problems including clinical research. The key step to successfully generate high quality proteomics data is the efficient extraction of proteins from biological samples. Although different methods are in use for protein extraction from a wide variety of samples, however, because of their prolonged protocol and multiple steps involved, final protein yield is sacrificed. Here, we have shown the development of a simple single step method for extraction of proteins from mammalian cell lines as well as tissue samples in an effective and reproducible manner. This method is based on lysis of samples directly in a modified lysis buffer without CHAPS (7 M Urea, 2 M Thiourea, and 10 mM Tris-Cl; pH 8.5) that is compatible with gel based and gel free approaches. This developed protocol is reliable and should be useful for a wide range of proteomic studies involving various biological samples.

Chronic treatment with D2-antagonist haloperidol leads to inhibitory/excitatory imbalance in striatal D1-neurons. Transl Psychiatry 2023; 13:312. [PMID: 37803004 PMCID: PMC10558446 DOI: 10.1038/s41398-023-02609-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Striatal dysfunction has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, a disorder characterized by positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. Haloperidol is a typical antipsychotic medication used in the treatment of schizophrenia that is known to antagonize dopamine D2 receptors, which are abundantly expressed in the striatum. However, haloperidol's delayed therapeutic effect also suggests a mechanism of action that may go beyond the acute blocking of D2 receptors. Here, we performed proteomic analysis of striatum brain tissue and found more than 400 proteins significantly altered after 30 days of chronic haloperidol treatment in mice, namely proteins involved in glutamatergic and GABAergic synaptic transmission. Cell-type specific electrophysiological recordings further revealed that haloperidol not only reduces the excitability of striatal medium spiny neurons expressing dopamine D2 receptors (D2-MSNs) but also affects D1-MSNs by increasing the ratio of inhibitory/excitatory synaptic transmission (I/E ratio) specifically onto D1-MSNs but not D2-MSNs. Therefore, we propose the slow remodeling of D1-MSNs as a mechanism mediating the delayed therapeutic effect of haloperidol over striatum circuits. Understanding how haloperidol exactly contributes to treating schizophrenia symptoms may help to improve therapeutic outcomes and elucidate the molecular underpinnings of this disorder.

Abstract
EWS RNA binding protein 1 (EWSR1) is a multifunctional protein whose epigenetic signatures contribute to the pathogenesis of various human diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders, skin development, and tumorigenic processes. However, the specific cellular functions and physiological characteristics of EWSR1 remain unclear. In this study, we used quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics with tandem mass tag labeling to investigate the global proteome changes in brain tissue in Ewsr1 knockout and wild-type mice. From 9115 identified proteins, we selected 118 differentially expressed proteins, which is common to three quantitative data processing strategies including only protein level normalizations and spectrum-protein level normalization. Bioinformatics analysis of these common differentially expressed proteins revealed that proteins up-regulated in Ewsr1 knockout mouse are mostly related to the positive regulation of bone remodeling and inflammatory response. The down-regulated proteins were associated with the regulation of neurotransmitter levels or amino acid metabolic processes. Collectively, these findings provide insight into the physiological function and pathogenesis of EWSR1 on protein level. Better understanding of EWSR1 and its protein interactions will advance the field of clinical research into neuronal disorders. The mass spectrometry proteomics data have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the PRIDE partner repository with the dataset identifier PXD026994.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS)-based proteomics is a powerful technique for profiling proteomes of cells, tissues, and body fluids. Typical bottom-up proteomic workflows consist of the following three major steps: sample preparation, LC–MS/MS analysis, and data analysis. LC–MS/MS and data analysis techniques have been intensively developed, whereas sample preparation, a laborious process, remains a difficult task and the main challenge in different applications. Sample preparation is a crucial stage that affects the overall efficiency of a proteomic study; however, it is prone to errors and has low reproducibility and throughput. In-solution digestion and filter-aided sample preparation are the typical and widely used methods. In the past decade, novel methods to improve and facilitate the entire sample preparation process or integrate sample preparation and fractionation have been reported to reduce time, increase throughput, and improve reproducibility. In this review, we have outlined the current methods used for sample preparation in proteomics, including on-membrane digestion, bead-based digestion, immobilized enzymatic digestion, and suspension trapping. Additionally, we have summarized and discussed current devices and methods for integrating different steps of sample preparation and peptide fractionation.

Abstract
White rot fungi can degrade lignin and play a significant role in the recycling of carbon resources for environmental protection. Trametes gibbosa is the main white rot fungus in Northeast China. The main acids produced by T. gibbosa degradation, include long-chain fatty acids, lactic acid, succinic acid, and some small molecular compounds for example benzaldehyde. A variety of proteins respond to lignin stress and play an important role in xenobiotics metabolism, metal ion transport, and redox. Coordinated regulation and detoxification activation of H2O2 produced in oxidative stress by peroxidase coenzyme system and Fenton reaction. The Dioxygenase cleavage pathway and β-ketoadipic acid pathway are the main oxidation pathways of lignin degradation, which mediate the entry of "COA" into the TCA cycle. In the joint action of hydrolase and coenzyme, cellulose, hemicellulose, and other polysaccharides are degraded and finally converted to glucose to participate in energy metabolism. The expression of the laccase (Lcc_1) protein was verified by E. coli. Also, the Lcc_1 overexpression mutant was established. The morphology of mycelium was dense and the lignin degradation rate was improved. We completed the first non-directional mutation of in T. gibbosa. It also improved the mechanism of T. gibbosa in response to lignin stress.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 814:152671.

Abstract
Teleost fish skin-scales are essential for protection and homeostasis and the largest tissue in direct contact with the environment, but their potential as early indicators of pollutant exposure are hampered by limited knowledge about this model. This study evaluated multi-level impacts of in vivo exposure of European sea bass to fluoxetine (FLX, a selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor and an emerging pollutant) and 17β-estradiol (E2, a natural hormone and representative of diverse estrogenic endocrine-disrupting pollutants). Exposed fish had significantly increased circulating levels of FLX and its active metabolite nor-FLX that, in contrast to E2, did not have estrogenic effects on most fish plasma and scale indicators. Quantitative proteomics using SWATH-MS identified 985 proteins in the scale total proteome. 213 proteins were significantly modified 5 days after exposure to E2 or FLX and 31 were common to both treatments and responded in the same way. Common biological processes significantly affected by both treatments were protein turnover and cytoskeleton reorganization. E2 specifically up-regulated proteins related to protein production and degradation and down-regulated the cytoskeleton/extracellular matrix and innate immune proteins. FLX caused both up- and down-regulation of protein synthesis and energy metabolism. Multiple estrogen and serotonin receptor and transporter transcripts were altered in sea bass scales after E2 and/or FLX exposure, revealing complex disruptive effects in estrogen/serotonin responsiveness, which may account for the partially overlapping effects of E2 and FLX on the proteome. A large number (103) of FLX-specifically regulated proteins indicated numerous actions independent of estrogen signalling. This study provides the first quantitative proteome of the fish skin-scale barrier, elucidates routes of action and biochemical and molecular signatures of E2 or FLX-exposure and identifies potential physiological consequences and candidate biomarkers of pollutant exposure, for monitoring and risk assessment.

Abstract
Contamination of aquatic ecosystems with anthropogenic pollutants, including pharmaceutical drugs, is a major concern worldwide. Aquatic organisms such as fish are particularly at risk of exposure to pollutants. The surface of fish is the first point of contact with pollutants, but few studies have considered the impact of pollutants on the skin-scale barrier. The present proteome data are the basis of the findings discussed in the associated research article “Proteomics of sea bass skin-scales exposed to the emerging pollutant fluoxetine compared to estradiol” [1]. Juvenile sea bass were exposed by intraperitoneal injections to: a) the antidepressant fluoxetine (FLX), a widely prescribed psychotropic drug and an emerging pollutant; b) the natural estrogen 17β-estradiol (E2) and c) the vehicle, coconut oil (control). The scale proteome of fish exposed to these compounds for 5 days was analysed using quantitative label-free proteomics technology SWATH-MS (sequential windowed data-independent acquisition of the total high-resolution-mass spectra). The proteome data generated was submitted to the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the PRIDE partner repository with the dataset identifier PXD020983. LC-MS data from pooled protein extracts from the scales of all experimental groups was acquired using information-dependent acquisition (IDA) and 1,254 proteins were identified by searching against the sea bass genome database. 715 proteins were quantified by SWATH acquisition, and 213 proteins had modified levels (p < 0.05) between the E2- or FLX-exposed fish compared to the control. The main biological processes and KEGG pathways affected by E2 or FLX treatments were identified using Cytoscape/ClueGO enrichment analyses.

Zhao B, Wu C, Sammad A, Ma Z, Suo L, Wu Y, Fu X. The fiber diameter traits of Tibetan cashmere goats are governed by the inherent differences in stress, hypoxic, and metabolic adaptations: an integrative study of proteome and transcriptome. BMC Genomics 2022; 23:191. [PMID: 35255833 PMCID: PMC8903710 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-022-08422-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Tibetan cashmere goats are served as a valuable model for high altitude adaptation and hypoxia complications related studies, while the cashmere produced by these goats is an important source of income for the herders. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in protein abundance underlying the fine (average 12.20 ± 0.03 μm of mean fiber diameter) and coarse cashmere (average 14.67 ± 0.05 μm of mean fiber diameter) producing by Tibetan cashmere goats. We systematically investigated the genetic determinants of fiber diameter by integrated analysis with proteomic and transcriptomic datasets from skin tissues of Tibetan cashmere goats. Results We identified 1980 proteins using a label-free proteomics approach. They were annotated to three different databases, while 1730 proteins were mapped to the original protein coding genes (PCGs) of the transcriptomic study. Comparative analyses of cashmere with extremely fine vs. coarse phenotypes yielded 29 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), for instance, APOH, GANAB, AEBP1, CP, CPB2, GPR142, VTN, IMPA1, CTSZ, GLB1, and HMCN1. Functional enrichment analysis of these DEPs revealed their involvement in oxidation-reduction process, cell redox homeostasis, metabolic, PI3K-Akt, MAPK, and Wnt signaling pathways. Transcription factors enrichment analysis revealed the proteins mainly belong to NF-YB family, HMG family, CSD family. We further validated the protein abundance of four DEPs (GC, VTN, AEBP1, and GPR142) through western blot, and considered they were the most potential candidate genes for cashmere traits in Tibetan cashmere goats. Conclusions These analyses indicated that the major biological variations underlying the difference of cashmere fiber diameter in Tibetan cashmere goats were attributed to the inherent adaptations related to metabolic, hypoxic, and stress response differences. This study provided novel insights into the breeding strategies for cashmere traits and enhance the understanding of the biological and genetic mechanisms of cashmere traits in Tibetan cashmere goats.

Abstract
Protein extraction and digestion are important analytical steps in the study of proteomics. The use of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) buffer makes it possible to effectively analyze various proteins. Its use was evaluated using the S-Trap digestion method and compared to the traditional In solution digestion method. Differences in protein composition were examined for each protein preparation method. S-Trap digestion followed by SDS buffer extraction clearly increased the number of identified proteins, including more mitochondrial and membrane-related proteins. The S-Trap digestion method with 5% SDS buffer was applied to the pellet remaining from the removal of RIPA buffer-soluble proteins, which identified more extracellular space proteins than the conventional S-Trap digestion method. S-Trap digestion of the pellet was particularly advantageous for identifying proteins located inside multilayer membranes.

Abstract
The high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technique is widely applied to routine analysis in many matrices. Despite the enormous application of LC/MS, this technique is subjected to drawbacks called matrix effects (MEs) that could lead to ion suppression or ion enhancement. This phenomenon can exert a deleterious impact on the ionization efficacy of an analyte and subsequently on the important method performance parameters. LC-MS susceptibility to MEs is the main challenge of this technique in the analysis of complex matrices such as biological and food samples. Nowadays, the assessment, estimation, and overcoming of the MEs before developing a method is mandatory in any analysis. Two main approaches including the post-column infusion and post-extraction spike are proposed to determine the degree of MEs. Different strategies can be adopted to reduce or eliminate MEs depending on the complexity of the matrix. This could be done by improving extraction and clean-up methods, changing the type of ionization employed, optimization of liquid chromatography conditions, and using corrective calibration methods. This review article will provide an overview of the MEs as the Achilles heel of the LC-MS technique, the causes of ME occurrence, their consequences, and systemic approaches towards overcoming MEs during LC-MS-based multi-analyte procedures.

Abstract
Proteomics, the large-scale study of all proteins of an organism or system, is a powerful tool for studying biological systems. It can provide a holistic view of the physiological and biochemical states of given samples through identification and quantification of large numbers of peptides and proteins. In forensic science, proteomics can be used as a confirmatory and orthogonal technique for well-built genomic analyses. Proteomics is highly valuable in cases where nucleic acids are absent or degraded, such as hair and bone samples. It can be used to identify body fluids, ethnic group, gender, individual, and estimate post-mortem interval using bone, muscle, and decomposition fluid samples. Compared to genomic analysis, proteomics can provide a better global picture of a sample. It has been used in forensic science for a wide range of sample types and applications. In this review, we briefly introduce proteomic methods, including sample preparation techniques, data acquisition using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and data analysis using database search, spectral library search, and de novo sequencing. We also summarize recent applications in the past decade of proteomics in forensic science with a special focus on human samples, including hair, bone, body fluids, fingernail, muscle, brain, and fingermark, and address the challenges, considerations, and future developments of forensic proteomics.

Generic multicriteria approach to determine the best precipitation agent for removal of biomacromolecules prior to non-targeted metabolic analysis. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2021; 1167:122567. [PMID: 33621794 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2021.122567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
The removal of biomacromolecules from biofluids decreases the sample complexity and lower electrospray suppression effects. Furthermore, it can increase the analysis sensitivity, precision, and selectivity. Often removal approaches evaluate the model based on a single criterion, like protein removed or response of one of few specific metabolites. In this study, we used a multicriteria approach to test the effect of using the solvents methanol and acetonitrile (organic solvent precipitation), trichloroacetic acid (acidic precipitation) and ammonium sulphate (salting out) to remove biomacromolecules from a downstream recovery process from a bacillus fermentation. The downstream recovery process intermediates were analysed using reversed-phase ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography with electrospray ionisation and high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry detection. To evaluate the pre-treatment agents the following multicriteria was applied i) practical considerations, ii) total amino acid in the precipitated pellet, iii) putative identification of the molecules removed or created by the different treatments, iv) coherence between high quality extracted ion chromatograms (repeatability of DW-CODA) and v) replicate consistency from principal component analysis score values obtained by using the CHEMometric analysis of sections of Selected Ion Chromatograms (CHEMSIC) method. This study presents a generic workflow to find the best pre-treatment for removing bio-macromolecules from biofluids with a multicriteria approach. In our case, the best protein removal strategy for downstream recovery intermediates was acetonitrile precipitation. This method showed high precision, created few artefact peaks compared to simple sample dilution, and mainly removed small peptides.

Abstract
In the mammalian skeletal system, osteogenesis and angiogenesis are closely linked by type H vessels during bone regeneration and repair. Our previous studies confirmed the promotion of these processes by copper-containing metal (CCM) in vitro and in vivo. However, whether and how the coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis participates in the promotion of bone regeneration by CCM in vivo is unknown. In this study, M2a macrophages but not M2c macrophages were shown to be immunoregulated by CCM. A CCM, 316L−5Cu, was applied to drilling hole injuries of the tibia of C57/6 mice for comparison. We observed advanced formation of cortical bone and type H vessels beneath the new bone in the 316L−5Cu group 14 and 21 days postinjury. Moreover, the recruitment of CD206-positive M2a macrophages, which are regarded as the primary source of platelet-derived growth factor type BB (PDGF-BB), was significantly promoted at the injury site at days 14 and 21. Under the stimulation of CCM, mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species were also found to be upregulated in CD206hi M2a macrophages in vitro, and this upregulation was correlated with the expression of PDGF-BB. In conclusion, our results indicate that CCM promotes the evolution of callus through the generation of type H vessels during the process of bone repair by upregulating the expression of PDGF-BB derived from M2a macrophages.

Abstract
In this study, an efficient and sensitive assay for the detection of 42 polar neurochemicals, including neurotransmitters, amino acids, and biogenic amines, was established by combining reversed-phase liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry with chemical derivatization. An optimally designed benzoyl chloride derivatization was easily conducted in a one-pot reaction and stable neurochemical derivatives were obtained under mild conditions within 5 min (except for acetylcholine and melatonin). Derivatization also enabled the introduction of heavy labeling of the analytes through the use of labeled derivatization agents. Chromatography separation was performed on an HSS T3 column within 15 min by gradient elution. Multiple reaction monitoring acquisition mode enabled quantitation of neurochemicals with limits of detection of 0.05 to 11.63 nM and lower limits of quantitation of 0.09 to 46.50 nM in rat serum. The assay was well validated in terms of linearity and extraction recovery. Furthermore, the instrumental precision, specificity, matrix effect, accuracy, precision, stability, dilution effect, and carry-over effect were also validated. Finally, the overall efficacy of the assay was experimentally tested using serum from six Sprague-Dawley rats. The results demonstrated that the developed method is effective for broad targeted analysis of 42 neurochemicals in serum.

Abstract
Beige adipocytes, which consume energy mainly in an uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1)-dependent manner, are risen in white adipose tissue (WAT) depots. Since beige adipocyte development is gaining attention as a potential strategy for conquering obesity, worldwide researchers are making efforts to study its biological aspects. However, assessing UCP1 protein levels in beige adipocytes is challenging because of the high level of lipid contaminants in WAT. This study showed that an acetone precipitation method had advantages over conventional methods for eliminating lipid contaminants, achieving clear Western blot bands for WAT proteins, especially UCP1. Our results suggest that the acetone precipitation cleaning method could be useful for the clear analysis and precise evaluation of WAT proteins.

Abstract
Fresh fish are highly perishable food products and their short shelf-life limits their commercial exploitation and leads to waste, which has a negative impact on aquaculture sustainability. New non-thermal food processing methods, such as high pressure (HP) processing, prolong shelf-life while assuring high food quality. The effect of HP processing (600MPa, 25 °C, 5min) on European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) fillet quality and shelf life was investigated. The data presented comprises microbiome and proteome profiles of control and HP-processed sea bass fillets from 1 to 67 days of isothermal storage at 2 °C. Bacterial diversity was analysed by Illumina high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene in pooled DNAs from control or HP-processed fillets after 1, 11 or 67 days and the raw reads were deposited in the NCBI-SRA database with accession number PRJNA517618. Yeast and fungi diversity were analysed by high-throughput sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region for control and HP-processed fillets at the end of storage (11 or 67 days, respectively) and have the SRA accession number PRJNA517779. Quantitative label-free proteomics profiles were analysed by SWATH-MS (Sequential Windowed data independent Acquisition of the Total High-resolution-Mass Spectra) in myofibrillar or sarcoplasmic enriched protein extracts pooled for control or HP-processed fillets after 1, 11 and 67 days of storage. Proteome data was deposited in the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the PRIDE partner repository with the dataset identifiers PXD012737. These data support the findings reported in the associated manuscript “High pressure processing of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) fillets and tools for flesh quality and shelf life monitoring”, Tsironi et al., 2019, JFE 262:83–91, doi.org/10.1016/j.jfoodeng.2019.05.010.

Abstract
In the clinical setting, a blood sample is typically the starting point for biomarker search and discovery. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a highly sensitive and informative method for characterizing a very wide range of metabolites and proteins and is therefore a potentially powerful tool for biomarker discovery. However, the physicochemical characteristics of blood coupled with very large ranges of protein and metabolite concentrations present a significant technical obstacle for resolving and quantifying putative biomarkers by MS. Blood fractionation procedures are being developed to reduce the proteome/metabolome complexity and concentration ranges, allowing a greater diversity of analytes, including those at very low concentrations, to be quantified. In this chapter, several strategies for enriching and/or isolating specific blood components are summarized, including methods for the analysis of low and high molecular weight compounds, usually neglected in this type of assays, extracellular vesicles, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). For each method, relevant practical information is presented for effective implementation.

Abstract
Mesenchymal glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive subtype of GBM. Our previous study found that neurotrophic factor prosaposin (PSAP) is highly expressed and secreted in glioma and can promote the growth of glioma. The role of PSAP in mesenchymal GBM is still unclear. In this study, bioinformatic analysis, western blotting and RT-qPCR were used to detect the expression of PSAP in different GBM subtypes. Human glioma cell lines and patient-derived glioma stem cells were studied in vitro and in vivo, revealing that mesenchymal GBM expressed and secreted the highest level of PSAP among four subtypes of GBM, and PSAP could promote GBM invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like processes in vivo and in vitro. Bioinformatic analysis and western blotting showed that PSAP mainly played a regulatory role in GBM invasion and EMT-like processes via the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway. In conclusion, the overexpression and secretion of PSAP may be an important factor causing the high invasiveness of mesenchymal GBM. PSAP is therefore a potential target for the treatment of mesenchymal GBM. © 2019 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
Microvesicles (MVs) derived from bone marrow niche components have an important role in genetic reprogramming and subsequent drugs induce apoptosis in leukemic cells. Here, we have found that undertreatment of curcumin or daunorubicin, the cross-talk through MVs of KG-1-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), significantly downregulates the expression of the survival gene osteopontin (OPN), CXCL-12, IL-6 (interleukin-6), STAT-3, and VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule 1) in treated-KG-1 cells as well as exclusively upregulates CXCL-12 in BMSCs. Drug treated-cell populations' MVs of both single cultured osteoblasts (OBs) and cocultured KG-1 + BMSCs + OBs similarly upregulate survival mediators' OPN, CXCL-12, IL-6, STAT-3, and VCAM-1 in treated-KG-1 cells. Likewise, isolated MVs from KG-1 cells or communication between KG-1, BMSCs, and OBs treated by drugs increase the expression of genes OPN, CXCL-12, IL-6, STAT3, and VCAM-1 by OBs. MVs derived from KG-1 + BMSCs + OBs reduce drug-induced apoptosis in KG-1 cells. This suggests MVs-mediated information transfer is a procedure whereby OBs could overcome BMSCs-induced apoptosis in drug-treated-KG-1 cells.

Reprod Biol Endocrinol 2019; 17:29. [PMID: 30841911 PMCID: PMC6404268 DOI: 10.1186/s12958-019-0473-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2018] [Accepted: 02/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Proteomic studies of follicular fluid (FF) exist for several species, including the horse; however, the seasonal influence on FF proteome has not been explored in livestock. The application of high-throughput proteomics of FF in horse has the potential to identify seasonal variations of proteins involved in follicle and oocyte growth. METHODS This study (i) profiles the proteomes of equine FF collected from dominant growing follicles during the spring anovulatory season (SAN), and spring (SOV), summer (SUM), and fall (FOV) ovulatory seasons; and (ii) identifies season-dependent regulatory networks and associated key proteins. RESULTS Regardless of season, a total of 90 proteins were identified in FF, corresponding to 63, 72, 69, and 78 proteins detected in the SAN, SOV, SUM, and FOV seasons, respectively. Fifty-two proteins were common to all seasons, a total of 13 were unique to either season, and 25 were shared between two seasons or more. Protein-to-protein interaction (PPI) analysis indicated the likely critical roles of plasminogen in the SAN season, the prothrombin/plasminogen combination in SUM, and plasminogen/complement C3 in both SOV and FOV seasons. The apolipoprotein A1 appeared crucial in all seasons. The present findings show that FF proteome of SUM differs from other seasons, with FF having high fluidity (low viscosity). CONCLUSIONS The balance between the FF contents in prothrombin, plasminogen, and coagulation factor XII proteins favoring FF fluidity may be crucial at the peak of the ovulatory season (SUM) and may explain the reported lower incidence of hemorrhagic anovulatory follicles during the SUM season.

Abstract
Most of the redox proteomics strategies are focused on the identification and relative quantification of cysteine oxidation without considering the variation in the total levels of the proteins. However, protein synthesis and protein degradation also belong to the regulatory mechanisms of the cells, being therefore important to consider the changes in total protein levels in PTMs-focused analyses, such as cysteine redox characterization. Therefore, a novel integrative approach combining the SWATH-MS method with differential alkylation using a combination of commonly available alkylating reagents (oxSWATH) is presented, by which it is possible to integrate the information regarding relative cysteine oxidation with the analysis of the total protein levels in a cost-effective high-throughput approach. The proposed method was tested using a redox-regulated protein and further applied to a comparative analysis of secretomes obtained from cells cultured under control or oxidative stress conditions to strengthen the importance of considering the overall proteome changes. Using the OxSWATH method it was possible to determine both the relative proportion of reduced and reversible oxidized oxoforms, as well as the total levels of each oxoform by taking into consideration the total levels of the protein. Therefore, using OxSWATH the comparative analyses can be performed at two different levels by considering the relative proportion or the total levels at both peptide and protein level. Moreover, since samples are acquired in SWATH-MS mode, besides the redox centered analysis, a generic differential protein expression analysis can also be performed, allowing a truly comprehensive evaluation of proteomics changes upon the oxidative stimulus. Data are available via ProteomeXchange and SWATHAtlas with the identifiers PXD006802, PXD006802, and PASS01210. Determination of redox changes considering protein total levels. Integrative redoxomics and common differential proteomics in a single analysis. Differential alkylation strategy using commonly available alkylating agents.

Abstract
Background As a neurotrophic factor, prosaposin (PSAP) can exert neuroprotective and neurotrophic effects. It is involved in the occurrence and development of prostate and breast cancer. However, there is no research about the role of PSAP in glioma. Methods The PSAP overexpressed or silenced glioma cells or glioma stem cells were established based on Lentiviral vector transfection. Cell viability assay, Edu assay, neurosphere formation assay and xenograft experiments were used to detect the proliferative ability. Western blot, Elisa and luciferase reporter assays were used to detect the possible mechanism. Findings Our study firstly found that PSAP was highly expressed and secreted in clinical glioma specimens, glioma stem cells, and glioma cell lines. It was associated with poor prognosis. We found that PSAP significantly promoted the proliferation of glioma stem cells and cell lines. Moreover, PSAP promoted tumorigenesis in subcutaneous and orthotopic models of this disease. Furthermore, GSEA and KEGG analysis predicted that PSAP acts through the TLR4 and NF-κB signaling pathways, which was confirmed by western blot, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and use of the TLR4-specific inhibitor TAK-242. Interpretation The findings of this study suggest that PSAP can promote glioma cell proliferation via the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and may be an important target for glioma treatment.

Abstract
Urine is an attractive and non-invasive alternative source to tissue, blood or other biofluids for biomarker screening in clinical research. In normal human adult urine, 48% of the total urinary protein is in the sediment, 49% is soluble and the remaining 3% is contained in urinary extracellular vesicles (EVs). The soluble proteins and EV proteins in urine have attracted particular attention in recent years as cancer diagnostics. Furthermore, considering the important role of N-glycoproteins in practically all physiological processes, including regulating receptor-ligand binding, cell-cell interactions, inflammatory response and tumour progression, N-glycoproteome in human urine is an invaluable target for monitoring the physiological status and pathological changes of the kidney and urinary tract. Given the different origins of the soluble proteins and EV proteins in the urine, different N-glycoproteome patterns exist. Therefore, isolating the soluble N-glycoproteins and EV N-glycoproteins for separate analysis will provide a more specific and comprehensive view and provide a deeper understanding of human urinary N-glycoproteome. In this work, we developed a sequential separation method that isolates urinary soluble proteins and EV proteins via stepwise ultrafiltration based on their obvious size difference. A facile and reproducible protein isolation was achieved using this strategy. Subsequent N-glycoproteome enrichment and identification revealed distinct patterns in the two sub-proteomes of urine with more than 60% differential N-glycopeptides. A more comprehensive picture of the urinary N-glycoproteome with close to 1800 identified N-glycopeptides was obtained by this new analysis strategy, therefore making it advantageous for urinary biomarker screening. Graphical abstract A sequential separation method that isolates urinary soluble proteins and EV proteins via stepwise ultrafiltration was developed in this work. Subsequent N-glycopeptides enrichment and mass spectrometry analysis reveals distinct N-glycoproteome patterns in the two sub-proteomes of urine and a deep mapping of close to 1800 N-glycopeptides.

Abstract
Three chromatographic stability-indicating methods were developed for determination of 4-hexylresorcinol in pure form and in a pharmaceutical formulation. Method A was based on a gradient elution liquid chromatographic HPLC determination of 4-hexylresorcinol, its related impurities and in presence of its degradation products. UPLC-MS/MS (Method B) was described for determination of the cited drug in presence of its degradation products. Method C was a thin- layer chromatography (TLC)-densitometry method for the separation and determination of the active ingredient, one of its related impurities and in presence of its degradation products. The mechanism of alkali, oxidative and photodegradation of 4-hexylresorcinol was studied according to ICH guidelines. The degradation products were characterized by the LC-MS/MS method. Methods A and B were applicable for determination of 4-hexylresorcinol residues in shrimp meat. The studied drug was easily degraded in alkali medium giving toxic compounds. The results obtained by the proposed methods were statistically analyzed and compared with those obtained by applying a reported method.

Abstract
A predominant challenge in developing curative leukemia therapy is interactions of leukemic cells with the bone marrow stromal microenvironment. We aimed to investigate the role of stromal cells, such as bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) and osteoblasts (OBs), in curcumin (CUR) and daunorubicin (DNR) induced apoptosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. We used KG1 and U937 as leukemia cell line models and treated them with CUR and DNR. The cells were then co-cultured with BMSCs or a combination of BMSCs and OBs as feeders. After 24 hours of co-culture, BMSCs or OBs were sorted and separated from the leukemia cells and apoptosis levels were analyzed by annexin/propidium iodide (PI) staining on flow cytometry. Potentially involved molecular pathways were analyzed at gene and protein levels by Real time PCR and western blotting, respectively. The results showed AML cells co-cultured with BMSCs plus OBs to be more resistant to drug induced-apoptosis compared to co-culture with BMSCs alone or without co-culture. Expression levels of OPN, CXCL-12, IL-6, STAT-3 and VCAM-1 were also significantly up-regulated in OBs and AML cells, at both mRNA and protein levels after co-culture, with concurrent enrichment of CD34+ AML cells. Our data showed, in a stromal cell niche-based model, that OBs revoke the influence of BMSCs on leukemic cells and promote enrichment of both CD34+ and CD34- leukemic stem cell (LSC) compartments in response to CUR and DNR. Up-regulation of OPN, CXCL-12, IL-6, STAT-3 and VCAM-1 in OBs and AML cells in co-culture might be part of molecular mechanisms that block CUR or CUR+DNR-induced apoptosis and promote enrichment of CD34+ and CD34- LSCs.

Abstract
Global proteome profiling is a direct representation of the protein set in an organism, organ, tissues, or an organelle. One of the main objectives of proteomic analysis is the comparison and relative quantitation of proteins under a defined set of conditions. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) has gained prominence over the last 4 decades for successfully aiding differential proteomics, providing visual confirmation of changes in protein abundance, which otherwise cannot be predicted from genome analysis. Each protein spot on 2-DE gel can be analyzed by its abundance, location, or even its presence or absence. This versatile gel-based method combines and utilizes the finest principle for separation of protein complexes by virtue of their charge and mass, visual mapping coupled with successful mass spectrometric identification of individual proteins.

Abstract
The pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, recognized as a worldwide major forest pest, is a migratory endoparasitic nematode with capacity to feed on pine tissues and also on fungi colonizing the trees. Bursaphelenchus mucronatus, the closest related species, differs from B. xylophilus on its pathogenicity, making this nematode a good candidate for comparative analyses. Secretome profiles of B. xylophilus and B. mucronatus were obtained and proteomic differences were evaluated by quantitative SWATH-MS. From the 681 proteins initially identified, 422 were quantified and compared between B. xylophilus and B. mucronatus secretomes and from these, 243 proteins were found differentially regulated: 158 and 85 proteins were increased in B. xylophilus and B. mucronatus secretomes, respectively. While increased proteins in B. xylophilus secretome revealed a strong enrichment in proteins with peptidase activity, the increased proteins in B. mucronatus secretome were mainly related to oxidative stress responses. The changes in peptidases were evaluated at the transcription level by RT-qPCR, revealing a correlation between the mRNA levels of four cysteine peptidases with secretion levels. The analysis presented expands our knowledge about molecular basis of B. xylophilus and B. mucronatus hosts interaction and supports the hypothesis of a key role of secreted peptidases in B. xylophilus pathogenicity.
