Abstract
In this study, label-free proteomic technology was applied to analyze and compare the whey proteomes of porcine colostrum and mature milk. In total, 2993 and 2906 whey proteins were detected in porcine colostrum and mature milk, respectively. A total of 2745 common proteins were identified in the two milk samples, and 280 proteins were found to be significantly differentially expressed whey proteins in porcine milk. Gene Ontology analysis demonstrated that the differentially expressed whey proteins were primarily enriched in lipid homeostasis, oxidoreductase activity, and the collagen trimer. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis suggested that the phagosome and endocytosis were the crucial pathways. This study provides systematic and in-depth insight into the compositions and functional properties of whey proteins in porcine milk during different periods of lactation, which may be beneficial for the development of porcine whey proteins in the future.

Abstract
Background and Aim Canine babesiosis, caused by the protozoan parasite Babesia canis, is characterized by clinical manifestations, including hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, multiple organ failure, and may result in death. This disease is detected using conventional blood smears, which are time-consuming and have low sensitivity. This study aimed to investigate a more rapid and sensitive method for detecting B. canis infection in dogs by examining the expressed serum protein profiles using proteomics. Materials and Methods We collected six sera samples from three healthy and three B. canis-infected dogs diagnosed using blood smear and polymerase chain reaction. We analyzed the proteins using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The candidate spots from the gel were subjected to protein identification using a nano-liquid chromatography system coupled to an ion-trap mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization nano-sprayer. Results We found that 10 protein spots were overexpressed in the serum samples from infected dogs compared with healthy dogs, which corresponded to three proteins: serotransferrin, serotransferrin isoforms X1, and hemopexin. Furthermore, analysis of the protein-protein interaction network confirmed that they strongly interacted with each other. Conclusion This study suggests that high levels of serotransferrin and hemopexin are related to B. canis infection, making these proteins potential candidates for the development of diagnostic molecules or vaccines.

Abstract
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is currently recognized as a life-threatening disease, leading to an exponential increase in morbidity and mortality worldwide. At present, AKI is characterized by a significant increase in serum creatinine (SCr) levels, typically followed by a sudden drop in glomerulus filtration rate (GFR). Changes in urine output are usually associated with the renal inability to excrete urea and other nitrogenous waste products, causing extracellular volume and electrolyte imbalances. Several molecular mechanisms were proposed to be affiliated with AKI development and progression, ultimately involving renal epithelium tubular cell-cycle arrest, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, the inability to recover and regenerate proximal tubules, and impaired endothelial function. Diagnosis and prognosis using state-of-the-art clinical markers are often late and provide poor outcomes at disease onset. Inappropriate clinical assessment is a strong disease contributor, actively driving progression towards end stage renal disease (ESRD). Proteins, as the main functional and structural unit of the cell, provide the opportunity to monitor the disease on a molecular level. Changes in the proteomic profiles are pivotal for the expression of molecular pathways and disease pathogenesis. Introduction of highly-sensitive and innovative technology enabled the discovery of novel biomarkers for improved risk stratification, better and more cost-effective medical care for the ill patients and advanced personalized medicine. In line with those strategies, this review provides and discusses the latest findings of proteomic-based biomarkers and their prospective clinical application for AKI management.

Abstract
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a common form of RCC, is responsible for the high mortality rate of kidney cancer. Dysregulations of glycoproteins have been shown to associate with ccRCC. However, the molecular mechanism has not been well characterized. Here, a comprehensive glycoproteomic analysis is conducted using 103 tumors and 80 paired normal adjacent tissues. Altered glycosylation enzymes and corresponding protein glycosylation are observed, while two of the major ccRCC mutations, BAP1 and PBRM1, show distinct glycosylation profiles. Additionally, inter-tumor heterogeneity and cross-correlation between glycosylation and phosphorylation are observed. The relation of glycoproteomic features to genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and phosphoproteomic changes shows the role of glycosylation in ccRCC development with potential for therapeutic interventions. This study reports a large-scale tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative glycoproteomic analysis of ccRCC that can serve as a valuable resource for the community.

Abstract
Patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) often have an unfavorable prognosis because of its insidious nature, low resectability rate, and poor response to anticancer drugs and radiotherapy, which makes early detection and treatment difficult. At present, CCA has a five-year overall survival rate (OS) of only 5%, despite advances in therapies. New an increasing number of evidence suggests that nanoplatforms may play a crucial role in enhancing the pharmacological effects and in reducing both short- and long-term side effects of cancer treatment. This document reviews the advantages and shortcomings of nanoparticles such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticle,inorganic nanoparticle, nano-metals and nano-alloys, carbon dots, nano-micelles, dendrimer, nano-capsule, bio-Nanomaterials in the diagnosis and treatment of CCA and discuss the current challenges in of nanoplatforms for CCA.

[PMID: 36543268 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2022.12.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Altered glycosylation modulates the structure and function of disease-related proteins. The associations between serotransferrin (STF) N-glycosylation and liver diseases (LDs) have been revealed. However, how intact N-glycopeptides vary among different types of liver diseases remains unclear. METHODS Intact STF N-glycopeptides from patients with chronic liver disease (CLD, n = 92), primary liver cancer (PLC, n = 123), metastatic liver cancer (MLC, n = 57), and healthy controls (HCs, n = 59) were determined using high-resolution mass spectrometry. RESULTS Significant changes were displayed in STF glycosylation among 4 groups. The LD screening model, including Asn432 G1S/G2S, Asn432 G2S/G2S2, and Asn630 G2NS2/G2FNS2, was constructed to differentiate LDs from HCs, with a AUC of 0.92. The liver cancer (LC) diagnostic model, a combination of Asn432 G1-N/G1S-N, Asn432 G1/G2, Asn432 G2FS/G2FS2, and Asn630 G1S-N /G1S, showed good performance in discriminating LC from CLD (AUC = 0.93). Moreover, AFP-negative LC patients (93 %) were successfully predicted by the LC diagnostic model. Furthermore, the MLC triage model, composed of Asn432 G1/G2, Asn432 G3F/G3FS, Asn630 G2/G2S, Asn630 G2S2/G2NS2, and Asn630 G3FS/G3FS2, yielded an AUC of 0.98 between PLC and MLC. CONCLUSIONS STF N-glycosylation is a potential biomarker for the accurate classification of different LDs.

Abstract
Aberrant glycosylation has been extensively reported in cancer, with fundamental changes in the glycosylation patterns of cell-surface and secreted proteins largely occurring during cancer progression. As such, serum glycan and glycopeptide biomarkers have been discovered using mass spectrometry and proposed for cancer detection. Here, we report for the first time potential serum N-glycan and glycopeptide biomarkers for Philippine lung cancer patients. The N-glycan and glycoprotein profiles of a cohort (n = 26 patients, n = 22 age- and gender-matched) of lung cancer patients were analyzed and compared to identify potential N-glycan and glycopeptide serum biomarkers using nano-QToF-MS/MS and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry dynamic multiple monitoring methods, respectively. Statistical analyses identified differential N-glycan and glycopeptide abundances. The N-glycans were mostly sialylated and sialofucosylated branched structures. The glycopeptides involved proteins in complement and coagulation cascades (p adj = 6.418 × 10-4), innate immunity (p adj = 6.094 × 10-3), acute inflammatory response (p adj = 6.404 × 10-5), defense response (p adj = 2.082 × 10-4), complement activation pathways (p adj = 1.895 × 10-2), and immunoglobulin-mediated immune response pathways (p adj = 4.818 × 10-2). Biomarker models were constructed using serum N-glycans [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.775; 95% CI: 0.617-0.931] and glycopeptides (AUC = 0.959; 95% CI: 0.85-1.0), with glycopeptides having higher accuracies than N-glycans. The results suggest that in the Philippine lung cancer patient sera, specific N-glycans and site-specific glycans are differentially expressed between cases and controls. This report represents the first serum glycan and glycopeptide biomarkers of Philippine lung cancer patients, further demonstrating the utility of mass spectrometry-based glycomic and glycoproteomic methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycoprotein sialylation changes are associated with severe development of various cancers. We previously discovered the sialylation of serotransferrin (TF) in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) using glycoproteomics approach. However, a simple and reliable method for validating sialylation of a specific glycobiomarker is urgently needed. METHODS We identified the altered glycosylation in CCA tissues by glycoproteomics approach using mass spectrometry. An enzyme-linked lectin assay (ELLA) was developed for determining the serum levels of sialylated TF in CCA, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and healthy controls in training and validation cohorts. RESULTS The nine highly sialylated glycoforms of TF were markedly abundant in CCA tumor tissues than in control. Serum SNA-TF and MAL1-TF were significantly higher in CCA patients. Under receiver operating characteristic curve, serum SNA-TF concentrations significantly differentiated CCA from healthy control. Higher SNA-TF were significantly correlated with severe tumor stages and lymph node metastasis. The combined SNA-TF, MAL1-TF, and CA19-9 as a novel glycobiomarkers panel demonstrated the highest specificity (96.2%) for distinguishing CCA from HCC patients. In CCA patients with low CA19-9 levels, SNA-TF in combination with CA19-9 achieved in 97% diagnostic accuracy. CONCLUSIONS Sialylated serotransferrin glycoforms could be used as a novel glycobiomarker for diagnosis and prediction of clinical severity in CCA patients.

Abstract
The clinical management of bladder cancer (BCa) is hindered by the lack of reliable biomarkers. We aimed to investigate the potential of lamprey immunity protein (LIP), a lectin that specifically binds to multi-antennary sialylated N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) structures on UMOD glycoproteins in the urine of BCa patients. Primary BCa patients had higher levels of LIP-bound Neu5Gc in urine than healthy participants and patients receiving postoperative treatment did. In addition, lectin chip assay and mass spectrometry were used to analyze the glycan chain structure, which can recognize the UMOD glycoprotein decorated with multi-antennary sialylated Neu5Gc structures. Furthermore, compared with urine samples from healthy patients (N = 2821, T/C = 0.12 ± 0.09) or benign patients (N = 360, T/C = 0.11 ± 0.08), the range of the urine T/C ratio detected using LIP test paper was 1.97 ± 0.32 in patients with bladder cancer (N = 518) with significant difference (P < 0.0001). Our results indicate that LIP may be a tool for early BCa identification, diagnosis, and monitoring. Neu5Gc-modified UMOD glycoproteins in urine and Neu5Gc-modified N-glycochains and sialyltransferases may function as potential markers in clinical trials.

Establishment of a Potential Serum Biomarker Panel for the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Cholangiocarcinoma Using Decision Tree Algorithms. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:diagnostics11040589. [PMID: 33806004 PMCID: PMC8064492 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics11040589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Revised: 03/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Potential biomarkers which include S100 calcium binding protein A9 (S100A9), mucin 5AC (MUC5AC), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), and angiopoietin-2 have previously been shown to be effective for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) diagnosis. This study attempted to measure the sera levels of these biomarkers compared with carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9). A total of 40 serum cases of CCA, gastrointestinal cancers (non-CCA), and healthy subjects were examined by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The panel of biomarkers was evaluated for their accuracy in diagnosing CCA and subsequently used as inputs to construct the decision tree (DT) model as a basis for binary classification. The findings showed that serum levels of S100A9, MUC5AC, and TGF-β1 were dramatically enhanced in CCA patients. In addition, 95% sensitivity and 90% specificity for CCA differentiation from healthy cases, and 70% sensitivity and 83% specificity for CCA versus non-CCA cases was obtained by a panel incorporating all five candidate biomarkers. In CCA patients with low CA19-9 levels, S100A9 might well be a complementary marker for improved diagnostic accuracy. The high levels of TGF-β1 and angiopoietin-2 were both associated with severe tumor stages and metastasis, indicating that they could be used as a reliable prognostic biomarkers panel for CCA patients. Furthermore, the outcome of the CCA burden from the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm using serial CA19-9 and S100A9 showed high diagnostic efficiency. In conclusion, results have shown the efficacy of CCA diagnosis and prognosis of the novel CCA-biomarkers panel examined herein, which may prove be useful in clinical settings.

Zheng Y, He JQ. Common differentially expressed genes and pathways correlating both coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation. EXCLI JOURNAL 2021; 20:126-141. [PMID: 33564282 PMCID: PMC7868642 DOI: 10.17179/excli2020-3262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) share common risk factors, such as hypertension and diabetes. The patients with CAD often suffer concomitantly AF, but how two diseases interact with each other at cellular and molecular levels remain largely unknown. The present study aims to dissect the common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that are concurrently associated with CAD and AF. Two datasets [GSE71226 for CAD) and GSE31821 for AF] were analyzed with GEO2R and Venn Diagram to identify the DEGs. Signaling pathways, gene enrichments, and protein-protein interactions (PPI) of the identified common DEGs were further analyzed with Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG), Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID), and Search Toll for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING). 565 up- and 1367 down-regulated genes in GSE71226 and 293 up- and 68 down-regulated genes in GSE31821 were identified. Among those, 21 common DEGs were discovered from both datasets, which lead to the findings of 4 CAD and 21 AF pathways, 3 significant gene enrichments (intracellular cytoplasm, protein binding, and vascular labyrinthine layer), and 3 key proteins (membrane metallo-endopeptidase (MME), transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), and Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 1 (LAMP1)). Together, these data implied that these three proteins may play a central role in development of both CAD and AF.

Application of Safirinium N-Hydroxysuccinimide Esters to Derivatization of Peptides for High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry, Tandem Mass Spectrometry, and Fluorescent Labeling of Bacterial Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21249643. [PMID: 33348897 PMCID: PMC7767236 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21249643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2020] [Revised: 12/13/2020] [Accepted: 12/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Mass spectrometry methods are commonly used in the identification of peptides and biomarkers. Due to a relatively low abundance of proteins in biological samples, there is a need for the development of novel derivatization methods that would improve MS detection limits. Hence, novel fluorescent N–hydroxysuccinimide esters of dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-2-ium carboxylates (Safirinium P dyes) have been synthesized. The obtained compounds, which incorporate quaternary ammonium salt moieties, easily react with aliphatic amine groups of peptides, both in solution and on the solid support; thus, they can be applied for derivatization as ionization enhancers. Safirinium tagging experiments with ubiquitin hydrolysate revealed that the sequence coverage level was high (ca. 80%), and intensities of signals were enhanced up to 8-fold, which proves the applicability of the proposed tags in the bottom–up approach. The obtained results confirmed that the novel compounds enable the detection of trace amounts of peptides, and fixed positive charge within the tags results in high ionization efficiency. Moreover, Safirinium NHS esters have been utilized as imaging agents for fluorescent labeling and the microscopic visualization of living cells such as E. coli Top10 bacterial strain.

Son KH, Ahn CB, Kim HJ, Kim JS. Quantitative proteomic analysis of bile in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients. J Cancer 2020; 11:4073-4080. [PMID: 32368289 PMCID: PMC7196276 DOI: 10.7150/jca.40964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2019] [Accepted: 03/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims: Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) without liver-fluke is increasing. Multifactorial carcinogenesis makes it hard to find biomarkers related to CCA. Although there are a few studies of bile proteomics, these showed different protein profiles because of having heterogeneous groups of patients and different sampling methods. Our aim was to identify the specific bile proteins of extrahepatic CCA patients. Methods: We collected bile from 23 patients undergoing endoscopic nasobiliary drainage in Korea University Guro Hospital from May 2018 to January 2019. The CCA group included 18 patients diagnosed with extrahepatic CCA, and the control group included 5 patients with benign biliary conditions. We analyzed bile proteome using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. We compared the relative abundance of various proteins in the CCA and control groups. Results: In all, we identified a total of 245 proteins in the bile of CCA and control patients. Increased top 14 proteins in CCA patients were immunoglobulin kappa light chain, apolipoprotein B, inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4, apolipoprotein E, Mucin 5B, inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H1, apolipoprotein A-IV, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, complement C7, complement C5, apolipoprotein C-III, albumin, antithrombin-III, and apolipoprotein A-II. However, the significantly increased proteins in bile of CCA patients comparing with control patients were immunoglobulin kappa light chain, apolipoprotein E, albumin, apolipoprotein A-I, antithrombin-III, α1-antitrypsin, serotransferrin, immunoglobulin heavy constant mu, immunoglobulin J chain, complement C4-A, and complement C3 (p<0.05). Conclusions: In this study, we identified several proteins that were significantly increased in the bile of extrahepatic CCA. Further study is needed to validate them as potential tumor-associated proteins that may be potential biomarkers for CCA.
