Abstract
Background Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In recent years, ACS has been reported to be associated with age, and the incidence has become more common in younger patients. Previous studies have identified various risk factors that contribute to the stratification of ACS patients. However, it remains unclear whether these risk factors, along with proteomic and clinical characteristics, are applicable to young ACS patients, as they are for middle-aged and elderly patients. This study aimed to investigate the proteomics, risk factors, and clinical characteristics of young ACS patients, as well as the differences between them and middle-aged and elderly ACS patients. By comparing these findings with those of middle-aged and elderly patients, we aimed to identify any discrepancies and these findings possibly may have implications for future management strategies of this specific population. Methods This observational study included a total of 187 participants diagnosed with ACS and 17 young healthy individuals as the control group. ACS patients were divided into three age groups: <45 years old, 45-60 years old, and 61-75 years old. The control group consisted of healthy individuals under the age of 45 who underwent coronary angiography and were excluded from CAD. We collected clinical characteristics, laboratory data, and echocardiographic results from each participant. Additionally, blood samples were collected for further analysis of relevant proteomic and arteriosclerosis marker data using proteomics analysis. Results Our findings revealed that the presence of certain key factors was associated with a significantly difference in patients with ACS aged younger than 45 years, and this association differed from that of traditional cardiovascular risk factors in patients older than 45 years. Specifically, a higher body mass index and hyperlipidemia were found to be associated with an increased risk of ACS morbidity in young adults (<45 years old) compared to middle-aged and elderly individuals. Furthermore, our findings indicated that the expression levels of growth differentiation factor 15, osteopontin, and NT-proBNP were significantly different among the groups. Conclusion In summary, our study revealed that the main pathogenic factors of ACS patients under 45 years of age differed from those of middle-aged and elderly patients. These findings may contribute to the prevention and treatment strategies for young patients with ACS.

Interorgan communication in neurogenic heterotopic ossification: the role of brain-derived extracellular vesicles. Bone Res 2024; 12:11. [PMID: 38383487 PMCID: PMC10881583 DOI: 10.1038/s41413-023-00310-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Brain-derived extracellular vesicles participate in interorgan communication after traumatic brain injury by transporting pathogens to initiate secondary injury. Inflammasome-related proteins encapsulated in brain-derived extracellular vesicles can cross the blood‒brain barrier to reach distal tissues. These proteins initiate inflammatory dysfunction, such as neurogenic heterotopic ossification. This recurrent condition is highly debilitating to patients because of its relatively unknown pathogenesis and the lack of effective prophylactic intervention strategies. Accordingly, a rat model of neurogenic heterotopic ossification induced by combined traumatic brain injury and achillotenotomy was developed to address these two issues. Histological examination of the injured tendon revealed the coexistence of ectopic calcification and fibroblast pyroptosis. The relationships among brain-derived extracellular vesicles, fibroblast pyroptosis and ectopic calcification were further investigated in vitro and in vivo. Intravenous injection of the pyroptosis inhibitor Ac-YVAD-cmk reversed the development of neurogenic heterotopic ossification in vivo. The present work highlights the role of brain-derived extracellular vesicles in the pathogenesis of neurogenic heterotopic ossification and offers a potential strategy for preventing neurogenic heterotopic ossification after traumatic brain injury. Brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are released after traumatic brain injury. These BEVs contain pathogens and participate in interorgan communication to initiate secondary injury in distal tissues. After achillotenotomy, the phagocytosis of BEVs by fibroblasts induces pyroptosis, which is a highly inflammatory form of lytic programmed cell death, in the injured tendon. Fibroblast pyroptosis leads to an increase in calcium and phosphorus concentrations and creates a microenvironment that promotes osteogenesis. Intravenous injection of the pyroptosis inhibitor Ac-YVAD-cmk suppressed fibroblast pyroptosis and effectively prevented the onset of heterotopic ossification after neuronal injury. The use of a pyroptosis inhibitor represents a potential strategy for the treatment of neurogenic heterotopic ossification.

Abstract
Interactions between proteins and metal ions and their complexes are important in many areas of the life sciences, including physiology, medicine, and toxicology. Despite the involvement of essential elements in all major processes necessary for sustaining life, metalloproteomes remain ill-defined. This is not only owing to the complexity of metalloproteomes, but also to the non-covalent character of the complexes that most essential metals form, which complicates analysis. Similar issues may also be encountered for some toxic metals. The review discusses recently developed approaches and current challenges for the study of interactions involving entire (sub-)proteomes with such labile metal ions. In the second part, transition metals from the fourth and fifth periods are examined, most of which are xenobiotic and also tend to form more stable and/or inert complexes. A large research area in this respect concerns metallodrug-protein interactions. Particular attention is paid to separation approaches, as these need to be adapted to the reactivity of the metal under consideration.

Abstract
A Ti4+-functionalized magnetic covalent organic framework material with flexible branched polymers (mCOF@ε-PL@THBA-Ti4+) built via an immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) enrichment strategy was proposed through post-synthesis modification. Hydrophilic ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL) rich in amino active groups was first introduced in the fabrication of the phosphopeptide enrichment material to increase the hydrophilicity while providing more functional modification pathways of the material. 2,3,4-Trihydroxy-benzaldehyde (THBA) provides abundant binding sites for the immobilization of numerous Ti4+, which is advantageous for the subsequent efficient phosphopeptide enrichment. The magnetic nanocomposite exhibited outstanding performance of phosphopeptide enrichment with good selectivity (1 : 5000), a low detection limit (2 fmol), and relatively high loading capacity (66.7 mg g-1). What's more, after treatment with mCOF@ε-PL@THBA-Ti4+, 16 endogenous phosphopeptides from fresh saliva of healthy people were recognized by MALDI-TOF MS, and 50 phosphopeptides belonging to 35 phosphoproteins from the serum of uremia patients were detected by nano-LC-MS/MS. Proteomics data analysis for the differential protein selection between uremia and normal controls was conducted using R software, and four down-regulated and three up-regulated proteins were obtained. The results suggested that the prepared material has potential applications in biomarker discovery.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers and one of the most common causes for cancer-related mortality. Discovery of protein biomarkers associated with cancer is considered important for early diagnosis and prediction of the cancer risk. Protein biomarkers could be investigated by large-scale protein investigation or proteomics, using mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques. Our group applies MS-based proteomics to study the protein pattern in human breast milk from women with BC and controls and investigates the alterations and dysregulations of breast milk proteins in comparison pairs of BC versus control. These dysregulated proteins might be considered potential future biomarkers of BC. Identification of potential biomarkers in breast milk may benefit young women without BC, but who could collect the milk for future assessment of BC risk. Previously we identified several dysregulated proteins in different sets of human breast milk samples from BC patients and controls using gel-based protein separation coupled with MS. Here, we performed 2D-PAGE coupled with nano-liquid chromatography-tandem MS (nanoLC-MS/MS) in a small-scale study on a set of six human breast milk pairs (three BC samples vs. three controls) and we identified several dysregulated proteins that have potential roles in cancer progression and might be considered potential BC biomarkers in the future.

Abstract
Mass Spectrometry (MS) allows the analysis of proteins and peptides through a variety of methods, such as Electrospray Ionization-Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) or Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-MS). These methods allow identification of the mass of a protein or a peptide as intact molecules or the identification of a protein through peptide-mass fingerprinting generated upon enzymatic digestion. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) allows the fragmentation of proteins and peptides to determine the amino acid sequence of proteins (top-down and middle-down proteomics) and peptides (bottom-up proteomics). Furthermore, tandem mass spectrometry also allows the identification of post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins and peptides. Here, we discuss the application of MS/MS in biomedical research, indicating specific examples for the identification of proteins or peptides and their PTMs as relevant biomarkers for diagnostic and therapy.

Abstract
Testis, the only organ responsible for generating sperm, is by far the organ with the largest variety of proteins and tissue-specific proteins in humans. In testis, spermatogenesis is a multi-step complex process well-accepted that protein and mRNA are decoupled in certain stages of spermatogenesis. With the fast development of mass spectrometry-based proteomics, it is possible to systemically study protein abundances and modifications in testis and sperm to help us understand the molecular mechanisms of spermatogenesis. This review provides an overview of the recent progress of proteomics analysis on spermatogenesis, including protein expression and multiple PTMs, such as phosphorylation, glycosylation, ubiquitylation, and acetylation.

Abstract
The review is devoted to the analysis of literature data related to the role of proteomic studies in the study of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Diagnosis of patients with atherosclerotic plaques before clinical manifestations is an arduous task. The review presents the results of research on the new proteomic potential biomarkers of coronary heart disease, coronary atherosclerosis, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, carotid artery atherosclerosis. Also, the analysis of literature data on proteomic studies of the vascular wall was carried out. To assess the involvement of proteins in the pathological process of atherosclerosis, it is important to investigate the specific relationships between proteins in the arteries, expression and concentration of proteins. The development of proteomic technologies has made it possible to analyse the number of proteins associated with the development of the disease. Analysis of the proteomic profile of the vascular wall in atherosclerosis can help to detect possible diagnostically significant protein structures or potential biomarkers of the disease and develop novel approaches to the diagnosis of atherosclerosis and its complications.
