[PMID: 30194080 DOI: 10.21873/cgp.20098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2018] [Revised: 07/26/2018] [Accepted: 07/27/2018] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Pul-down assay is a popular in vitro method for identification of physical interactors of selected proteins. Here, for the first time, we compared three conventional variants of pull-down assay with the streptavidin-modified surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chips for the detection of PDZ and LIM domain protein 2 (PDLIM2) interaction partners. MATERIALS AND METHODS PDLIM2 protein-protein interactions were analysed by three variants of pull-down assay on streptavidin beads using LC-MS/MS in "Sequential Window Acquisition of all Theoretical fragment ion spectra (SWATH)" mode and compared with LC-SWATH-MS/MS data from SPR chips. RESULTS The results showed that (i) the use of SPR chip led to comparable data compared to on-column streptavidin beads, (ii) gravity flow and microflow in wash and elution steps provided better results than centrifugation, and (iii) type and concentration of detergent did not significantly affect the interactome data of cancer-associated PDLIM2. CONCLUSION Our study supports further application of SPR-based affinity purification with SWATH mass spectrometry for reproducible and controlled characterization of cancer-associated interactomes.

Abstract
Global measurement of proteins and their many attributes in tissues and biofluids defines the field of proteomics. Toxicoproteomics, as part of the larger field of toxicogenomics, seeks to identify critical proteins and pathways in biological systems that are affected by and respond to adverse chemical and environmental exposures using global protein expression technologies. Toxicoproteomics integrates 3 disciplinary areas: traditional toxicology and pathology, differential protein and gene expression analysis, and systems biology. Key topics to be reviewed are the evolution of proteomics, proteomic technology platforms and their capabilities with exemplary studies from biology and medicine, a review of over 50 recent studies applying proteomic analysis to toxicological research, and the recent development of databases designed to integrate -Omics technologies with toxicology and pathology. Proteomics is examined for its potential in discovery of new biomarkers and toxicity signatures, in mapping serum, plasma, and other biofluid proteomes, and in parallel proteomic and transcriptomic studies. The new field of toxicoproteomics is uniquely positioned toward an expanded understanding of protein expression during toxicity and environmental disease for the advancement of public health.

Abstract
Many cellular processes in the dinoflagellate Lingulodinium polyedrum are controlled by a circadian (daily) clock. Since the activity of proteins involved in various metabolic pathways or in regulating gene expression can be affected by phosphorylation, we established a generalized phosphoproteome catalog using LC-MS/MS to analyze a phosphoprotein-enriched fraction. Over 11,000 peptides were identified by comparison to a Lingulodinium transcriptome, and 527 of these had at least one identified phosphosite. Gene ontology analysis revealed that RNA binding and translation were one of the major categories among these proteins identified by these peptides. Since casein kinase 2 (CK2) is known to be important in eukaryotic circadian biology substrates, we next tried to identify specific substrates for this kinase. To achieve this we first classified and catalogued the kinases in the Lingulodinium transcriptome then assigned the different phosphosites to the different kinase classes. Interestingly, potential CK2 targets include a substantial proportion of RNA binding proteins. Phosphosite identification thus provides a promising new approach to investigate the Lingulodinium circadian system.

Abstract
The term "proteome" was first introduced by referring to the complete determination of proteins expressed in a given cell, tissue, or organism. In HPLC-based proteomics technique, the mixture of the cleaved peptides are bonded, separated sequentially on the multidimensional columns based on charge or hydrophobicity of the ionized analytes, and then eluted into the MS for identification. Among the developed stable isotope-based quantification methods, iTRAQ has recently gained popularity as its simple iTRAQ labeling procedures and up to eight labeled samples examined in a single experiment.

Abstract
AbstractChronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers may develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by a wide range of mechanisms including angiogenesis. We show that HBV replication induces the expression of angiogenic proteins interleukin 6 (IL6) and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox2). Interestingly, ibuprofen (a Cox2 inhibitor) is found to attenuate the levels of IL6 and Cox 2 which are induced by HBV replication.The mechanism of attenuation of angiogenic proteins by ibuprofen was further investigated. Our results show that HBx is involved in the increase of the expression of Cox2 through the NFκB pathway. However, the expression of Cox2 is decreased when the HBx-expressing cells are incubated with ibuprofen. The contrasting effect of HBx on Cox2 is found to be determined by differential dimer formation among the members of the NFκB family of proteins, including NFκB, RelA, and C-rel. Specifically, HBx alone results in dimer formation between NFκB and RelA, while the combined presence of HBx and ibuprofen leads to the formation of NFκB and C-rel. Additional information on the interaction network involving HBx, ibuprofen, and NFκB pathways is revealed by two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry proteomics analysis. Taken together, our findings provide new insights on the angiogenesis induced by HBV replication.

Abstract
The x protein of HBV (HBx) has been involved in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with a possible link to individual genotypes. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism remains obscure. In this study, we aim to identify the HBx-induced protein profile in HepG2 cells by LC-MS/MS proteomics analysis. Our results indicated that proteins were differentially expressed in HepG2 cells transfected by HBx of various genotypes. Proteins associated with cytoskeleton were found to be either up-regulated (MACF1, HMGB1, Annexin A2) or down-regulated (Lamin A/C). These may in turn result in the decrease of focal adhesion and increase of cell migration in response to HBx. Levels of other cellular proteins with reported impact on the function of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and cell migration, including Ca(2+)-binding proteins (S100A11, S100A6, and S100A4) and proteasome protein (PSMA3), were affected by HBx. The differential protein profile identified in this study was also supported by our functional assay which indicated that cell migration was enhanced by HBx. Our preliminary study provided a new platform to establish a comprehensive cellular protein profile by LC-MS/MS proteomics analysis. Further downstream functional assays, including our reported cell migration assay, should provide new insights in the association between HCC and HBx.

Abstract
Plasma proteome analysis requires sufficient power to compare numerous samples and detect changes in protein modification, because the protein content of human samples varies significantly among individuals, and many plasma proteins undergo changes in the bloodstream. A label-free proteomics platform developed in our laboratory, termed "Two-Dimensional Image Converted Analysis of Liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (2DICAL)," is capable of these tasks. Here, we describe successful detection of novel prolyl hydroxylation of alpha-fibrinogen using 2DICAL, based on comparison of plasma samples of 38 pancreatic cancer patients and 39 healthy subjects. Using a newly generated monoclonal antibody 11A5, we confirmed the increase in prolyl-hydroxylated alpha-fibrinogen plasma levels and identified prolyl 4-hydroxylase A1 as a key enzyme for the modification. Competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of 685 blood samples revealed dynamic changes in prolyl-hydroxylated alpha-fibrinogen plasma level depending on clinical status. Prolyl-hydroxylated alpha-fibrinogen is presumably controlled by multiple biological mechanisms, which remain to be clarified in future studies.

Abstract
We previously reported the development of an integrated proteome platform, namely 2-Dimensional Image Converted Analysis of Liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (2DICAL), for quantitative comparison of large peptide datasets generated by nano-flow liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS). The key technology of 2DICAL was the precise adjustment of the retention time of LC by dynamic programming. In order to apply 2DICAL to clinical studies that require comparison of a large number of patient samples we further refined the calculation algorithm and increased the accuracy and speed of the peptide peak alignment using a greedy algorithm, which had been used for fast DNA sequence alignment. The peptide peaks of each sample with the same m/z were extracted every 1 m/z and displayed with along the horizontal axis. Here we report a precise comparison of more than 150,000 typtic peptide ion peaks derived from 70 serum samples (40 patients with uterine endometrial cancer and 30 controls). The levels of 49 MS peaks were found to differ significantly between cancer patients and controls (P < 0.01, Welch's t-test and interquartile range [IQR] of >40), and the differential expression and identification of selected three proteins was validated by immunoblotting. 2DICAL was is highly advantageous for large-scale clinical proteomics because of its simple procedure, high throughput, and quantification accuracy.

Abstract
The brain is unquestionably the most fascinating organ. Despite tremendous progress, current knowledge falls short of being able to explain its function. An emerging approach toward improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying brain function is neuroproteomics. Today's neuroscientists have access to a battery of versatile technologies both in transcriptomics and proteomics. The challenge is to choose the right strategy in order to generate new hypotheses on how the brain works. The goal of this review is therefore two-fold: first we recall the bewildering cellular, molecular, and functional complexity in the brain, as this knowledge is fundamental to any study design. In fact, an impressive complexity on the molecular level has recently re-emerged as a central theme in large-scale analyses. Then we review transcriptomics and proteomics technologies, as both are complementary. Finally, we comment on the most widely used proteomics techniques and their respective strengths and drawbacks. We conclude that for the time being, neuroproteomics should focus on its strengths, namely the identification of posttranslational modifications and protein-protein interactions, as well as the characterization of highly purified subproteomes. For global expression profiling, emphasis should be put on further development to significantly increase coverage.

Abstract
Subcellular fractionation represents an essential technique for functional proteome analysis. Recently, we provided a subcellular fractionation protocol for minute amounts of tissue that yielded a nuclear fraction, a membrane and organelle fraction, and a cytosolic fraction. In the current study, we attempted to improve the protocol for the isolation of integral membrane proteins, as these are particularly important for brain function. In the membrane and organelle fraction, we increased the yield of membranes and organelles by about 50% by introducing a single re-extraction step. We then tested two protocols towards their capacity to enrich membrane proteins present in the membrane and organelle fraction. One protocol is based on sequential solubilization using subsequent increases of chaotropic conditions such as urea, thereby partitioning hydrophobic proteins from hydrophilic ones. The alternative protocol applies high-salt and high-pH washes to remove non-membrane proteins. The enrichment of membrane proteins by these procedures, as compared to the original membrane and organelle fraction, was evaluated by 16-BAC-SDS-PAGE followed by mass spectrometry of randomly selected spots. In the original membrane and organelle fraction, 7 of 50 (14%) identified proteins represented integral membrane proteins, and 15 (30%) were peripheral membrane proteins. In the urea-soluble fraction, 4 of 33 (12%) identified proteins represented integral membrane proteins, and 10 (30%) were peripheral membrane proteins. In the high-salt/high-pH resistant sediment, 12 of 45 (27%) identified proteins were integral membrane proteins and 13 (29%) represented peripheral membrane proteins. During the analysis, several proteins involved in neuroexocytosis were detected, including syntaxin, NSF, and Rab3-interaction protein 2. Taken together, differential centrifugation in combination with high-salt and high-pH washes resulted in the highest enrichment of integral membrane proteins and, therefore, represents an adequate technique for region-specific profiling of membrane proteins in the brain.

Abstract
The profession of dietetics can take an increasingly prominent role in managing health and patient care as clinicians gain access to three new resources: detailed information about the metabolic status of healthy individual clients, metabolic knowledge about the relationships between metabolite abundances and health, and bioinformatics tools that link clients' metabolism to their present and future health status. The current use of single biomarkers as indicators of disease will be replaced by comprehensive profiling of individual metabolites linked to an understanding of health and human metabolism--the emerging science now known as metabolomics. Industrial and academic initiatives are currently developing the analytical and bioinformatic technologies needed to assemble the quantitative reference databases of metabolites as the metabolic analog of the human genome. With these in place, dietetics professionals will be able to assess both the current health status of individuals and predict their health trajectories. Another important role for dietetics professionals will be to assist in the development of the tools and their application in predicting how an individual's specific metabolic pattern can be changed by diet, drugs, and lifestyle, with the goal of improving health and preventing the development of chronic diseases.

Abstract
The liquid-phase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique is the most commonly used method for the amplification of genetic materials, although it requires the lysis of cells for DNA or RNA extraction, making it impossible to visualize the distribution and subcellular localization of the biomolecules. This study intended to assess whether tissue sections may be directly and repeatedly used as templates for liquid-phase PCR amplifications. Consecutive paraffin sections of breast tissues were placed on gamma-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane-coated microscopic cover glasses perforated with a diamond knife into strips. After hematoxylin and eosin or immuno-staining, the strip of interest was inserted into a PCR tube for amplifications, and the adjacent strip with the same tissue was subject to microdissection, DNA extraction, and PCR amplifications. To use the strip repeatedly, it was transferred into a new PCR tube and amplified with a new primer set, after an initial amplification for 5 to 7 cycles. Then, initially amplified samples were amplified to a total of 40 cycles. An equal volume of PCR products from the strip and DNA extract were loaded side by side for electrophoresis and detection. The strip and DNA extract from the same tissue yielded a very comparable quality and quantity of PCR products with the same primer sets. The strip, however, could be repeatedly used for PCR amplifications with substantially more primer sets. In addition, the strip could be used for immunohistochemical or other molecular assays after PCR amplifications. Further studies with the same protocol on strips containing chromosomal spreads generated similar results.

Abstract
Horizontally transferred genes are believed to play a critical role in the divergence of bacterial strains from a common ancestor, but whether all of these genes express functional proteins in the cell remains unknown. Here, we used an integrated LC-based protein identification technology to analyze the proteome of Escherichia coli strain K12 (JM109) and identified 1,480 expressed proteins, which are equivalent to approximately 35% of the total open reading frames predicted in the genome. This subset contained proteins with cellular abundance of several dozens to hundreds of thousands of copies, and included nearly all types of proteins in terms of chemical characteristics, subcellular distribution, and function. Interestingly, the subset also contained 138 of 164 gene products that are currently known to be essential for bacterial viability (84% coverage). However, the subset contained only a very small population (10%) of protein products from genes mapped within K-loops, which are "hot spots" for the integration of foreign DNAs within the K12 genome. On the other hand, these genes in K-loops appeared to be transcribed to RNAs almost as efficiently as the native genes in the bacterial cell as monitored by DNA microarray analysis, raising the possibility that most of the recently acquired foreign genes are inadequate for the translational machinery for the native genes and do not generate functional proteins within the cell.

Abstract
Proteomic technologies powered by advancements in mass spectrometry and bioinformatics and coupled with accumulated genome sequence data allow a comprehensive study of cell function through large-scale and systematic protein identifications of protein constituents of the cell and tissues, as well as of multi-protein complexes that carry out many cellular function in a higher-order network in the cell. One of the most extensively analyzed cellular functions by proteomics is the production of ribosome, the protein-synthesis machinery, in the nucle(ol)us--the main site of ribosome biogenesis. The use of tagged proteins as affinity bait, coupled with mass spectrometric identification, enabled us to isolate synthetic intermediates of ribosomes that might represent snapshots of nascent ribosomes at particular stages of ribosome biogenesis and to identify their constituents--some of which showed dynamic changes for association with the intermediates at various stages of ribosome biogenesis. In this review, in conjunction with the results from yeast cells, our proteomic approach to analyze ribosome biogenesis in mammalian cells is described.
