Obesity affects the proteome profile of periodontal ligament submitted to mechanical forces induced by orthodontic tooth movement in rats. J Proteomics 2022; 263:104616. [PMID: 35595054 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2022.104616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly worldwide. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of obesity on the proteomic profile of periodontal ligament (PDL) tissues of rat first maxillary molars (1 M) submitted to orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Ten Holtzman rats were distributed into two groups (n = 5): the M group (OTM), and the OM group (obesity induction plus OTM). Obesity was induced by a high-fat diet for the entire experimental periods After that period, the animals were euthanized and the hemimaxillae removed and processed for laser capture microdissection of the PDL tissues of the 1 M. Peptide extracts were obtained and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD033647. Out of the 109 proteins with differential abundance, 49 were identified in the OM group, including Vinculin, Cathepsin D, and Osteopontin, which were selected for in situ localization by immunohistochemistry analysis (IHC). Overall, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis indicated that enriched proteins were related to the GO component cellular category. IHC validated the trends for selected proteins. Our study highlights the differences in the PDL proteome profiling of healthy and obese subjects undergoing OTM. These findings may provide valuable information needed to better understand the mechanisms involved in tissue remodeling in obese patients submitted to orthodontic treatment. SIGNIFICANCE: The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide. Emerging findings in the field of dentistry suggest that obesity influences the tissues around the teeth, especially those in the periodontal ligament. Therefore, evaluation of the effect of obesity on periodontal tissues remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement is a relevant research topic. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate proteomic changes in periodontal ligament tissue in response to the association between orthodontic tooth movement and obesity. Our study identified a novel protein profile associated with obesity by using laser microdissection and proteomic analysis, providing new information to increase understanding of the mechanisms involved in obese patients undergoing orthodontic treatment which can lead to a more personalized orthodontic treatment approach.

Detection of Aristaless-related homeobox protein in ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors. Exp Mol Pathol 2017; 104:38-44. [PMID: 29275192 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexmp.2017.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2017] [Accepted: 12/20/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the potential of ARX as a novel biomarker of ovarian endometriosis and other ovarian pathologies. METHODS The mRNA level of ARX in ovarian endometriosis and normal endometrium samples was determined by real-time PCR, while the protein level was determined by Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on nearly 200 tissue samples of different ovarian pathologies. GraphPad Prism was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The expression of ARX was significantly increased in ovarian endometriosis samples as compared to normal endometrium. Also Western blotting data showed higher ARX levels in the ovarian endometriosis samples versus normal endometrium. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the protein is localized in the ovarian stroma and does not originate from endometriosis. Further immunohistochemical analysis performed on several different non-neoplastic and neoplastic ovarian tissue samples revealed that in the non-neoplastic ovary ARX protein is present only in the stromal cells and their derivates (luteinized stromal cells, theca and Leydig cells) and not in granulosa cells, oocites, surface epithelium or rete ovarii, while all stromal and sex cord tumors showed strong nuclear staining for ARX. All other primary or metastatic epithelial tumors of the ovary were ARX negative. CONCLUSIONS ARX is not associated with endometriosis and cannot be used as a biomarker for ovarian endometriosis. ARX is present in ovarian stroma and cells derived from ovarian stroma as well as in all types of sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary and could thus be used as a marker for sex cord-stromal differentiation in ovarian tumors.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify potential serum biomarkers of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and to detect DLBCL therapy response biomarkers. DLBCL serum proteomic analysis was performed using the CM10 ProteinChip mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) approach combined with bioinformatics. A total of 178 samples were analyzed in this study from untreated early stage DLBCL patients (38), patients with inflammatory lymphadenopathy (13), healthy donors (35), post-treatment non-relapsed DLBCL patients (53), and relapsed DLBCL patients (39). Model 1 formed by nine protein peaks (m/z: 6443, 5913, 6198, 4098, 7775, 9293, 5946, 5977, and 4628) could be used to distinguish DLBCL patients from healthy individuals with an accuracy of 95.89% (70/73). The diagnostic pattern constructed using the support vector machine including the nine proteins of model 1, showed a maximum Youden's Index. Model 2 formed by three protein peaks (m/z: 3942, 6639, and 4121) could be used to distinguish DLBCL patients from those with inflammatory lymphadenopathy with an accuracy of 94.12% (48/51). Model 3 formed by six protein peaks could distinguish patients with inflammatory lymphadenopathy from healthy individuals with an accuracy of 97.92% (47/48). Model 4 could be used to distinguish non-relapsed DLBCL patients from relapsed DLBCL patients with an accuracy of 84.78% (78/92). The four patterns were validated by leave-one-out cross-validation. These data demonstrate that the CM10 ProteinChip and SELDI-TOF-MS approach combined with bioinformatics can be used effectively to screen for the differential protein expression profiles of DLBCL patients and to predict the response to therapy.

Identification of chemoresistant factors by protein expression analysis with iTRAQ for head and neck carcinoma. Br J Cancer 2014; 111:799-806. [PMID: 25032734 PMCID: PMC4134508 DOI: 10.1038/bjc.2014.395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2013] [Revised: 06/13/2014] [Accepted: 06/20/2014] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Cisplatin and other anticancer drugs are important in the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; however, some tumours develop drug resistance. If chemoresistance could be determined before treatment, unnecessary drug administration would be avoided. Here, we investigated chemoresistance factors by comprehensive analyses at the protein level. Methods: Four human carcinoma cell lines were used: cisplatin-sensitive UM-SCC-23, UM-SCC-23-CDDPR with acquired cisplatin resistance, naturally cisplatin-resistant UM-SCC-81B, and UM-SCC-23/WR with acquired 5-fluorouracil resistance. Extracted proteins were labelled with iTRAQ and analysed by tandem mass spectrometry to identify resistance. Protein expression was confirmed by western blotting and functional analysis was carried out using siRNA. Results: Thirteen multiple-drug resistance proteins were identified, as well as seven proteins with specific resistance to cisplatin, including α-enolase. Differential expression of these proteins in cisplatin-resistant and -sensitive cell lines was confirmed by western blotting. Functional analysis for α-enolase by siRNA showed that cisplatin sensitivity significantly was increased in UM-SCC-81B and slightly in UM-SCC-23-CDDPR but not in UM-SCC-23/WR cells. Conclusions: We identified proteins thought to mediate anticancer drug resistance using recent proteome technology and identified α-enolase as a true cisplatin chemoresistance factor. Such proteins could be used as biomarkers for anticancer agent resistance and as targets of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Comparing protein levels from single cells in tissue has not been achieved through Western blot. Laser capture microdissection allows for the ability to excise single cells from sectioned tissue and compile an aggregate of cells in lysis buffer. In this study we analyzed proteins from cells excised individually from brain and muscle tissue through Western blot. After we excised individual neurons from the substantia nigra of the brain, the accumulated surface area of the individual cells was 120,000, 24,000, 360,000, 480,000, 600,000 μm2. We used an optimized Western blot protocol to probe for tyrosine hydroxylase in this cell pool. We also took 360,000 μm2 of astrocytes (1700 cells) and analyzed the specificity of the method. In muscle we were able to analyze the proteins of the five complexes of the electron transport chain through Western blot from 200 human cells. With this method, we demonstrate the ability to compare cell-specific protein levels in the brain and muscle and describe for the first time how to visualize proteins through Western blot from cells captured individually.

Abstract
The discovery phase of biomarkers of diagnostic or therapeutic interest started a decade ago with the very rapid development of proteomic investigations. In spite of the development of innovative technologies and multiple approaches, the "harvest" is still modest. Various reasons justified the encountered difficulties and most of them have been circumvented by specific sample treatments or dedicated analytical approaches. Nevertheless, the situation of very modest biomarker discovery level did not change much. This review intends to specifically analyze the main approaches used for biomarker discovery phase and evaluate related advantages and disadvantages. Thus, preliminary sample treatments such as fractionation, depletion and reduction of dynamic concentration range will critically be discussed and then the main differential expression investigation methods analyzed. Combinations of technologies are also discussed along with possible proposals to federate associations of complementary technologies for better chances of success.

Abstract
The prognosis for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma remains poor in spite of advances in therapy of many other malignancies. Early diagnosis and treatment remains the key to improved patient survival. Because the scalpel biopsy for diagnosis is invasive and has potential morbidity, it is reserved for evaluating highly suspicious lesions and not for the majority of oral lesions which are clinically not suspicious. Furthermore, scalpel biopsy has significant interobserver and intraobserver variability in the histologic diagnosis of dysplasia. There is an urgent need to devise critical diagnostic tools for early detection of oral dysplasia and malignancy that are practical, noninvasive and can be easily performed in an out-patient set-up. Diagnostic tests for early detection include brush biopsy, toluidine blue staining, autofluorescence, salivary proteomics, DNA analysis, biomarkers and spectroscopy. This state of the art review critically examines these tests and assesses their value in identifying oral squamous cell carcinoma and its precursor lesions.
