Abstract
Clinical and basic research suggests that bladder ischemia may be an independent variable in the development of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). We have reported that ischemic changes in the bladder involve differential expression and post-translational modifications (PTMs) of the protein's functional domains. In the present study, we performed in-depth analysis of a previously reported proteomic dataset to further characterize proteins PTMs in bladder ischemia. Our proteomic analysis of proteins in bladder ischemia detected differential formation of non-coded amino acids (ncAAs) that might have resulted from PTMs. In-depth analysis revealed that three groups of proteins in the bladder proteome, including contractile proteins and their associated proteins, stress response proteins, and cell signaling-related proteins, are conspicuously impacted by ischemia. Differential PTMs of proteins by ischemia seemed to affect important signaling pathways in the bladder and provoke critical changes in the post-translational structural integrity of the stress response, contractile, and cell signaling-related proteins. Our data suggest that differential PTMs of proteins may play a role in the development of cellular stress, sensitization of smooth muscle cells to contractile stimuli, and deferential cell signaling in bladder ischemia. These observations may provide the foundation for future research to validate and define clinical translation of the modified biomarkers for precise diagnosis of bladder dysfunction and the development of new therapeutic targets against LUTS.

Low-Intensity Ultrasound Reduces Brain Infarct Size by Upregulating Phosphorylated Endothelial Nitric Oxide in Mouse Model of Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion. ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY 2023; 49:1091-1101. [PMID: 36739244 PMCID: PMC10050145 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2022.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE There have been attempts to use therapeutic ultrasound (US) for the treatment of both experimental and clinical stroke. We hypothesized that low-intensity US has direct beneficial effects on the brain independent of cerebral blood flow (CBF) during middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). METHODS Three groups of mice were studied. Group I included 84 mice with MCAO undergoing US treatment/no treatment at two US frequencies (0.25 and 1.05 MHz) with three different acoustic pressures at each frequency in which infarct size (IS) was measured 24 h later. Group II included 11 mice undergoing treatment based on best US results from group I animals in which the IS/risk area (RA) ratio was measured 24 h later. Group III included 38 normal mice undergoing US treatment/no treatment for assessment of CBF, tissue metabolite and protein expression and histopathology. DISCUSSION Ultrasound at both frequencies and most acoustic pressures resulted in reduction in IS in group I animals, with the best results obtained with 0.25 MHz at 2.0 MPa: IS was reduced 4-fold in the cerebral cortex, 1.5-fold in the caudate putamen and 3.5-fold in the cerebral hemisphere compared with control. US application in group III animals elicited only a marginal increase in CBF despite a 2.6-fold increase in phosphorylated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (p-eNOS)-S1177 and a corresponding decrease in p-eNOS-T494. Histopathology revealed no evidence of hemorrhage, inflammation or necrosis. CONCLUSION Low-intensity US at specific frequencies and acoustic pressures results in marked neuroprotection in a mouse model of stroke by modulation of p-eNOS independent of its effect on CBF.

(Phospho)Proteomic dataset of ischemia- and ultrasound- stimulated mouse cardiac endothelial cells in vitro. Data Brief 2021; 38:107343. [PMID: 34527795 PMCID: PMC8429095 DOI: 10.1016/j.dib.2021.107343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Cardiac endothelial cells respond to both ischemia and therapeutic ultrasound; the proteomic changes underlying these responses are unknown. This data article provides raw and processed data resulting from our global, unbiased phosphoproteomics investigation conducted on primary mouse cardiac endothelial cells exposed to ischemia (2-hour oxygen glucose deprivation) and ultrasound (250 kHz, 1.2 MPa) in vitro [1]. Proteins were extracted from cell lysates and enriched phosphopeptides were analyzed with a high mass accuracy liquid chromatrography (LC) - tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) proteomic platform, yielding multiple alterations in both total protein levels and phosphorylation events in response to ischemic injury and ultrasound. This dataset can be used as a reference for future studies on the cardiac endothelial response to ischemia and the mechanistic underpinnings of the cellular response to ultrasound, with the potential to yield clinically relevant therapeutic targets.
