Abstract
The growth and development of the human brain is a long and complex process that requires a precise sequence of genetic and molecular events. This begins in the third week of gestation with the differentiation of neural progenitor cells and extends at least until late adolescence, possibly for life. One of the defects of this development is that we know very little about the signals that modulate this sequence of events. The first 3 years of life, during breastfeeding, is one of the critical periods in brain development. In these first years of life, it is believed that neurodevelopmental problems may be the molecular causes of mental disorders. Therefore, we herein propose a new hypothesis, according to which the chemical signals that could modulate this entire complex sequence of events appear in this early period, and the molecular level study of human breast milk and colostrum of mothers who give birth to children in different gestation periods could give us information on proteins influencing this process. In this work, we collected milk and colostrum samples (term, late preterm and moderate/very preterm) and exosomes were isolated. The samples of exosomes and complete milk from each fraction were analyzed by LC-ESI-MS/MS. In this work, we describe proteins in the different fractions of mature milk and colostrum of mothers with term, late preterm, or very preterm delivery, which could be involved in the regulation of the nervous system by their functions. We describe how they differ in different types of milk, paving the way for the investigation of possible new neuroregulatory pathways as possible candidates to modulate the nervous system.

[PMID: 37759471 PMCID: PMC10527336 DOI: 10.3390/cells12182252] [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: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Prolactin-inducible protein (PIP), also referred to as gross cystic disease fluid protein 15 (GCDFP-15), has been a trending topic in recent years due to its potential role as a specific marker in breast cancer. PIP binds to aquaporin-5 (AQP5), CD4, actin, fibrinogen, β-tubulin, serum albumin, hydroxyapatite, zinc α2-glycoprotein, and the Fc fragment of IgGs, and the expression of PIP has been demonstrated to be modulated by various cytokines, including IL4/13, IL1, and IL6. PIP gene expression has been extensively studied due to its captivating nature. It is influenced by various factors, with androgens, progesterone, glucocorticosteroids, prolactin, and growth hormone enhancing its expression while estrogens suppress it. The regulatory mechanisms involve important proteins such as STAT5A, STAT5B, Runx2, and androgen receptor, which collaborate to enhance PIP gene transcription and protein production. The expression level of PIP in breast cancer is dependent on the tumor stage and subtype. Higher expression is observed in early-stage tumors of the luminal A subtype, while lower expression is associated with luminal B, basal-like, and triple-negative subtypes, which have a poorer prognosis. PIP expression is also correlated with apocrine differentiation, hormone receptor positivity, and longer metastasis-free survival. PIP plays a role in supporting the immune system's antitumor response during the early stages of breast cancer development. However, as cancer progresses, the protective role of PIP may become less effective or diminished. In this work, we summarized the clinical significance of the PIP molecule in breast cancer and its potential role as a new candidate for cell-based therapies.

Glycoproteins Presenting Galactose and N-Acetylgalactosamine in Human Seminal Plasma as Potential Players Involved in Immune Modulation in the Fertilization Process. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22147331. [PMID: 34298952 PMCID: PMC8303229 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22147331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 07/02/2021] [Accepted: 07/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
In light of recent research, there is increasing evidence showing that extracellular semen components have a significant impact on the immune reaction of the female partner, leading to the tolerogenic response enabling the embryo development and implantation as well as further progress of healthy pregnancy. Seminal plasma glycoproteins are rich in the unique immunomodulatory glycoepitopes that may serve as ligands for endogenous lectins that decorate the surface of immune cells. Such interaction may be involved in modulation of the maternal immune response. Among immunomodulatory glycans, Lewis type antigens have been of interest for at least two decades, while the importance of T/Tn antigens and related structures is still far from understanding. In the current work, we applied two plant lectins capable of distinguishing glycoepitopes with terminal GalNAc and Gal to identify glycoproteins that are their efficient carriers. By means of lectin blotting and lectin affinity chromatography followed by LC-MS, we identified lactotransferrin, prolactin inducible protein as well as fibronectin and semenogelins 1 and 2 as lectin-reactive. Net-O-glycosylation analysis results indicated that the latter three may actually carry T and/or Tn antigens, while in the case of prolactin inducible protein and lactotransferrin LacdiNAc and lactosamine glycoepitopes were more probable. STRING bioinformatics analysis linked the identified glycoproteins in the close network, indicating their involvement in immune (partially innate) processes. Overall, our research revealed potential seminal plasma ligands for endogenous Gal/GalNAc specific lectins with a possible role in modulation of maternal immune response during fertilization.

Proteomic profile of vitreous in patients with tubercular uveitis. Tuberculosis (Edinb) 2021; 126:102036. [PMID: 33359883 PMCID: PMC11005023 DOI: 10.1016/j.tube.2020.102036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2020] [Revised: 10/31/2020] [Accepted: 11/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate disease-specific host protein profile in vitreous fluid of patients with intraocular inflammation due to tubercular uveitis (TBU). METHODS Vitreous samples from 13 patients with TBU (group A), 7 with non-TBU (group B) and 9 with no uveitis (group C) were analysed by shotgun proteomics using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were subjected to pathway analysis using WEB-based Gene SeT Analysis Toolkit software. RESULTS Compared to control groups (B + C combined), group A (TBU) displayed 32 (11 upregulated, 21 downregulated) DEPs, which revealed an upregulation of coagulation cascades, complement and classic pathways, and downregulation of metabolism of carbohydrates, gluconeogenesis, glucose metabolism and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathways. When compared to group B (non-TBU) alone, TBU displayed 58 DEPs (21 upregulated, 37 downregulated), with an upregulation of apoptosis, KRAS signaling, diabetes pathways, classic pathways, and downregulation of MTORC1 signaling, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and glucose metabolism. CONCLUSION This differential protein profile provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of TBU and a baseline to explore vitreous biomarkers to differentiate TBU from non-TBU, warranting future studies to identify and validate them as a diagnostic tool in TBU. The enriched pathways generate interesting hypotheses and drive further research.

Abstract
The binding of seminal plasma (SP) proteins by spermatozoa plays an important role in the regulation of sperm epididymal maturation, motility gaining in female reproductive tracts and sperm-egg interaction. The aim of the study was to analyze the SP and sperm extracts proteome of cat (Felis catus) semen. The seminal plasma and spermatozoa were obtained by urethra catheterization from 10 male cats. Proteins were extracted using RIPA buffer and separated by electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The gels were analyzed using MultiAnalyst software. The proteins were subsequently analyzed using NanoUPLC-Q-TOF/MS. UniProt database-supported identification resulted in 106 proteins identified in the cat SP and 98 proteins in the extracts of spermatozoa. Based on a gene ontology analysis, dominant molecular functions of feline SP proteins were binding, catalytic, and antioxidant activity (56%, 33%, and 11% of cases, respectively). The molecular functions of sperm extracts proteins were mainly involved in catalytic activity (41%) and binding (23%). The proteins present in both, the SP and spermatozoa's extracts, were: serum albumin (ALB), semenogelin 2 (SEMG 2), clusterin (CLU), lactoferrin (LTF), prostatic acid phosphatase (ACPP), prolactin inducible protein (PIP), negative elongation factor E (NELF-E) and ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase (ENPP3). Protein-protein interactions analysis showed significant connection for 12 proteins in the cat semen. The seminal plasma proteins which, with high probability score, participate in important metabolic pathways are: glutathione peroxidases (GPx5 and 6), prostatic acid phosphatase (ACPP), β-hexosaminidase (HEXB), polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) and serpin family F member 1 (SERPINF1). For sperm protein extracts it were: pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDHB), succinate-CoA-ligase (SUCLA2), malate dehydrogenase (MDH2), ATP synthase F1 subunit alpha (ATP5F1A) and tubulin beta (TUBB).

Abstract
The study aimed at detecting differentially expressed proteins in the stratum corneum of dandruff versus non-dandruff scalps to better understand dandruff aetiology. iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis revealed a total of 68 differentially expressed biomarkers. A detailed analysis of their known physiological functions provided new insights into the affected metabolic pathways of a dandruff scalp. Dandruff scalp showed (1) profound changes in the expression and maturation of structural and epidermal differentiation related proteins, that are responsible for the integrity of the skin, (2) altered relevant factors that regulate skin hydration, and (3) an imbalanced physiological protease-protease inhibitor ratio. Stratum corneum proteins with antimicrobial activity, mainly those derived from sweat and sebaceous glands were also found modified. Comparing our data with those reported for atopic dermatitis revealed that about 50 % of the differentially expressed proteins in the superficial layers of the stratum corneum from dandruff and atopic dermatitis are identical.
