Abstract
BACKGROUND Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal and rapidly progressive motoneuron degenerative disorder. There are still no drugs capable of slowing disease evolution or improving life quality of ALS patients. Thus, autologous stem cell therapy has emerged as an alternative treatment regime to be investigated in clinical ALS. METHOD Using Proteomics and Protein-Protein Interaction Network analyses combined with bioinformatics, the possible cellular mechanisms and molecular targets related to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs, 1 × 106 cells/kg, intrathecally in the lumbar region of the spine) were investigated in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of ALS patients who received intrathecal infusions of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs thirty days after cell therapy. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD053129. RESULTS Proteomics revealed 220 deregulated proteins in CSF of ALS subjects treated with MSCs compared to CSF collected from the same patients prior to MSCs infusion. Bioinformatics enriched analyses highlighted events of Extracellular matrix and Cell adhesion molecules as well as related key targets APOA1, APOE, APP, C4A, C5, FGA, FGB, FGG and PLG in the CSF of cell treated ALS subjects. CONCLUSIONS Extracellular matrix and cell adhesion molecules as well as their related highlighted components have emerged as key targets of autologous MSCs in CSF of ALS patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrial.gov identifier NCT0291768. Registered 28 September 2016.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) currently lacks the useful diagnostic biomarkers. The current diagnosis of ALS is mainly depended on the clinical manifestations, which contributes to the diagnostic delay and be difficult to make the accurate diagnosis at the early stage of ALS, and hinders the clinical early therapeutics. The more and more pathogenesis of ALS are found at the last 30 years, including excitotoxicity, the oxidative stress, the mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, the altered energy metabolism, the RNA misprocessing and the most recent neuroimaging findings. The findings of these pathogenesis bring the new clues for searching the diagnostic biomarkers of ALS. At present, a large number of relevant studies about the diagnostic biomarkers are underway. The ALS pathogenesis related to the diagnostic biomarkers might lessen the diagnostic reliance on the clinical manifestations. Among them, the cortical altered signatures of ALS patients derived from both structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging and the emerging proteomic biomarkers of neuronal loss and glial activation in the cerebrospinal fluid as well as the potential biomarkers in blood, serum, urine, and saliva are leading a new phase of biomarkers. Here, we reviewed these current potential diagnostic biomarkers of ALS.

Quantitative label-free proteomic analysis of excretory-secretory proteins in different developmental stages of Trichinella spiralis. Vet Res 2024; 55:4. [PMID: 38172978 PMCID: PMC10763447 DOI: 10.1186/s13567-023-01258-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis) is a zoonotic parasitic nematode with a unique life cycle, as all developmental stages are contained within a single host. Excretory-secretory (ES) proteins are the main targets of the interactions between T. spiralis and the host at different stages of development and are essential for parasite survival. However, the ES protein profiles of T. spiralis at different developmental stages have not been characterized. The proteomes of ES proteins from different developmental stages, namely, muscle larvae (ML), intestinal infective larvae (IIL), preadult (PA) 6 h, PA 30 h, adult (Ad) 3 days post-infection (dpi) and Ad 6 dpi, were characterized via label-free mass spectrometry analysis in combination with bioinformatics. A total of 1217 proteins were identified from 9341 unique peptides in all developmental stages, 590 of which were quantified and differentially expressed. GO classification and KEGG pathway analysis revealed that these proteins were important for the growth of the larvae and involved in energy metabolism. Moreover, the heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein was the centre of protein interactions at different developmental stages. The results of this study provide comprehensive proteomic data on ES proteins and reveal that these ES proteins were differentially expressed at different developmental stages. Differential proteins are associated with parasite survival and the host immune response and may be potential early diagnostic antigen or antiparasitic vaccine candidates.

Zhang H, Zhang Y, Wang H, Yang P, Lu C, Liu Y, Xu Z, Wang C, Hu J. Global proteomic analysis reveals lysine succinylation contributes to the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysm and dissection. J Proteomics 2023; 280:104889. [PMID: 36966968 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2023.104889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023]
Abstract
Protein lysine succinylation is a recently discovered posttranslational modification. This study examined the role of protein lysine succinylation in the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD). 4D label-free LC-MS/MS analysis was used to perform the global profiles of succinylation in aortas obtained from 5 heart transplant donors, 5 patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), and 5 patients with thoracic aortic dissection (TAD). In comparison to normal controls, we detected 1138 succinylated sites from 314 proteins in TAA, and 1499 sites from 381 proteins in TAD. Among these, 120 differentially succinylated sites from 76 proteins overlapped between TAA and TAD (|log2FC| > 0.585, p < 0.05). These differentially modified proteins were mainly localized in the mitochondria and cytoplasm, and were primarily involved in diverse energy metabolic processes, including carbon metabolism, amino acid catabolism, and β-oxidation of fatty acids. By establishing an in vitro model of lysine succinylation in vascular smooth muscle cells, we observed changes in the activities of three key metabolic enzymes (PKM, LDHA, and SDHA). These findings suggest that succinylation potentially contributes to the pathogenesis of aortic diseases, and presents a valuable resource for investigating the functional roles and regulatory mechanisms of succinylation in AAD. SIGNIFICANCE: AAD are interrelated life-threatening diseases associated with high morbidity and mortality. Although we discovered that lysine succinylation was significantly up-regulated in the aorta tissues of patients with AAD, its role in the progression of aortic diseases is largely unknown. We conducted a 4D label-free LC-MS/MS analysis and identified 120 differentially succinylated sites on 76 proteins that overlapped between TAA and TAD as compared to normal controls. Lysine succinylation may contribute to the pathogenesis of AAD by regulating energy metabolism pathways. The proteins containing succinylated sites could be served as potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for aortic diseases.
