Abstract
The escalating prevalence of metabolic disorders, notably type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity, presents a critical global health challenge, necessitating deeper insights into their molecular underpinnings. Our study integrates proteomics and metabolomics analyses to delineate the complex molecular landscapes associated with T2D and obesity. Leveraging data from 130 subjects, including individuals with T2D and obesity as well as healthy controls, we elucidate distinct molecular signatures and identify novel biomarkers indicative of disease progression. Our comprehensive characterization of cardiometabolic proteins and serum metabolites unveils intricate networks of biomolecular interactions and highlights differential protein expression patterns between T2D and obesity cohorts. Pathway enrichment analyses reveal unique mechanisms underlying disease development and progression, while correlation analyses elucidate the interplay between proteomics, metabolomics, and clinical parameters. Furthermore, network analyses underscore the interconnectedness of cardiometabolic proteins and provide insights into their roles in disease pathogenesis. Our findings may help to refine diagnostic strategies and inform the development of personalized interventions, heralding a new era in precision medicine and healthcare innovation. Through the integration of multi-omics approaches and advanced analytics, our study offers a crucial framework for deciphering the intricate molecular underpinnings of metabolic disorders and paving the way for transformative therapeutic strategies.

Comparative Analysis of Differential Cellular Transcriptome and Proteome Regulation by HIV-1 and HIV-2 Pseudovirions in the Early Phase of Infection. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 25:380.

Abstract
In spite of the similar structural and genomic organization of human immunodeficiency viruses type 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2), striking differences exist between them in terms of replication dynamics and clinical manifestation of infection. Although the pathomechanism of HIV-1 infection is well characterized, relatively few data are available regarding HIV-2 viral replication and its interaction with host-cell proteins during the early phase of infection. We utilized proteo-transcriptomic analyses to determine differential genome expression and proteomic changes induced by transduction with HIV-1/2 pseudovirions during 8, 12 and 26 h time-points in HEK-293T cells. We show that alteration in the cellular milieu was indeed different between the two pseudovirions. The significantly higher number of genes altered by HIV-2 in the first two time-points suggests a more diverse yet subtle effect on the host cell, preparing the infected cell for integration and latency. On the other hand, GO analysis showed that, while HIV-1 induced cellular oxidative stress and had a greater effect on cellular metabolism, HIV-2 mostly affected genes involved in cell adhesion, extracellular matrix organization or cellular differentiation. Proteomics analysis revealed that HIV-2 significantly downregulated the expression of proteins involved in mRNA processing and translation. Meanwhile, HIV-1 influenced the cellular level of translation initiation factors and chaperones. Our study provides insight into the understudied replication cycle of HIV-2 and enriches our knowledge about the use of HIV-based lentiviral vectors in general.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most frequent types of head and neck cancer. Despite the genetic and environmental risk factors, OSCC is also associated with microbial infections and/or dysbiosis. The secreted saliva serves as the chemical barrier of the oral cavity and, since OSCC can alter the protein composition of saliva, our aim was to analyze the effect of OSCC on the salivary chemical barrier proteins. Publicly available datasets regarding the analysis of salivary proteins from patients with OSCC and controls were collected and examined in order to identify differentially expressed chemical barrier proteins. Network analysis and gene ontology (GO) classification of the differentially expressed chemical barrier proteins were performed as well. One hundred and twenty-seven proteins showing different expression pattern between the OSCC and control groups were found. Protein-protein interaction networks of up- and down-regulated proteins were constructed and analyzed. The main hub proteins (IL-6, IL-1B, IL-8, TNF, APOA1, APOA2, APOB, APOC3, APOE, and HP) were identified and the enriched GO terms were examined. Our study highlighted the importance of the chemical barrier of saliva in the development of OSCC.

Abstract
Amino acids and biogenic amines are important components of food and beverages. In grape-derived products such as wine and wine vinegar, they can have different origins and can influence the odor and taste of the products. Their concentration is influenced by the grape variety, vintage, and winemaking process. In our study, we carried out an LC-MS-based comparative analysis of 22 grape-derived beverages, including three different wine types and four wine vinegar samples from the Tokaj region in Hungary. The concentrations of 23 amino acids and 10 biogenic amines were examined, and the differences among the sample types were analyzed. The differences in the concentrations of some metabolites between Aszú-Furmint pairs originating from the same wineries and year provide information on the effect of botrytized grape on wine composition. Our data can provide further evidence on how the production process shapes the metabolite content of beverages and highlight the nutritional value of wine vinegar.

Abstract
The ABC transporter P-glycoprotein (Pgp) has been found to be involved in multidrug resistance in tumor cells. Lipids and cholesterol have a pivotal role in Pgp's conformations; however, it is often difficult to investigate it with conventional structural biology techniques. Here, we applied robust approaches coupled with cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS), where the natural lipid environment remains quasi-intact. Two experimental approaches were carried out using different cross-linkers (i) on living cells, followed by membrane preparation and immunoprecipitation enrichment of Pgp, and (ii) on-bead, subsequent to membrane preparation and immunoprecipitation. Pgp-containing complexes were enriched employing extracellular monoclonal anti-Pgp antibodies on magnetic beads, followed by on-bead enzymatic digestion. The LC-MS/MS results revealed mono-links on Pgp's solvent-accessible residues, while intraprotein cross-links confirmed a complex interplay between extracellular, transmembrane, and intracellular segments of the protein, of which several have been reported to be connected to cholesterol. Harnessing the MS results and those of molecular docking, we suggest an epitope for the 15D3 cholesterol-dependent mouse monoclonal antibody. Additionally, enriched neighbors of Pgp prove the strong connection of Pgp to the cytoskeleton and other cholesterol-regulated proteins. These findings suggest that XL-MS may be utilized for protein structure and network analyses in such convoluted systems as membrane proteins.

Abstract
Introduction: White adipocytes store lipids, have a large lipid droplet and few mitochondria. Brown and beige adipocytes, which produce heat, are characterized by high expression of uncoupling protein (UCP) 1, multilocular lipid droplets, and large amounts of mitochondria. The rs1421085 T-to-C single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the human FTO gene interrupts a conserved motif for ARID5B repressor, resulting in adipocyte type shift from beige to white. Methods: We obtained abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue from donors carrying FTO rs1421085 TT (risk-free) or CC (obesity-risk) genotypes, isolated and differentiated their preadipocytes into beige adipocytes (driven by the PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone for 14 days), and activated them with dibutyryl-cAMP for 4 hours. Then, either the same culture conditions were applied for additional 14 days (active beige adipocytes) or it was replaced by a white differentiation medium (inactive beige adipocytes). White adipocytes were differentiated by their medium for 28 days. Results and Discussion: RNA-sequencing was performed to investigate the gene expression pattern of adipocytes carrying different FTO alleles and found that active beige adipocytes had higher brown adipocyte content and browning capacity compared to white or inactive beige ones when the cells were obtained from risk-free TT but not from obesity-risk CC genotype carriers. Active beige adipocytes carrying FTO CC had lower thermogenic gene (e.g., UCP1, PM20D1, CIDEA) expression and thermogenesis measured by proton leak respiration as compared to TT carriers. In addition, active beige adipocytes with CC alleles exerted lower expression of ASC-1 neutral amino acid transporter (encoded by SLC7A10) and less consumption of Ala, Ser, Cys, and Gly as compared to risk-free carriers. We did not observe any influence of the FTO rs1421085 SNP on white and inactive beige adipocytes highlighting its exclusive and critical effect when adipocytes were activated for thermogenesis.

Abstract
Brown/beige adipocytes express uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) that enables them to dissipate energy as heat. Systematic activation of this process can alleviate obesity. Human brown adipose tissues are interspersed in distinct anatomical regions including deep neck. We found that UCP1 enriched adipocytes differentiated from precursors of this depot highly expressed ThTr2 transporter of thiamine and consumed thiamine during thermogenic activation of these adipocytes by cAMP which mimics adrenergic stimulation. Inhibition of ThTr2 led to lower thiamine consumption with decreased proton leak respiration reflecting reduced uncoupling. In the absence of thiamine, cAMP-induced uncoupling was diminished but restored by thiamine addition reaching the highest levels at thiamine concentrations larger than present in human blood plasma. Thiamine is converted to thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) in cells; the addition of TPP to permeabilized adipocytes increased uncoupling fueled by TPP-dependent pyruvate dehydrogenase. ThTr2 inhibition also hampered cAMP-dependent induction of UCP1, PGC1a, and other browning marker genes, and thermogenic induction of these genes was potentiated by thiamine in a concentration dependent manner. Our study reveals the importance of amply supplied thiamine during thermogenic activation in human adipocytes which provides TPP for TPP-dependent enzymes not fully saturated with this cofactor and by potentiating the induction of thermogenic genes.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation induced by peripheral infections leads to various neuropsychiatric symptoms both in humans and laboratory animals, e.g., to the manifestation of sickness behavior that resembles some features of clinical depression. However, in addition to depression-like behavior, there are other symptoms of acute systemic inflammation that can be associated with the impairment of prefrontal cortex (PFC)-regulated cognitive functions. Thus, we investigated the electrophysiological and proteomic alterations of the PFC using brain slices and the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) model of acute peripheral infection in male mice. Based on the gene expression differences of the coreceptor (Il1rap) of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) between neuron types in our previous single-cell sequencing dataset, we first compared the electrophysiological effects of IL-1β on PFC pyramidal cells and interneurons. We found that pyramidal cells are more responsive to IL-1β, as could be presumed from our transcriptomic data. To examine the possible circuit-level correlates of the cellular changes, frontal electroencephalographic (EEG) activity and fronto-occipital functional connectivity were analyzed in LPS-treated mice and significant changes were found in the fronto-occipital EEG correlation and coherence in the delta and high-gamma frequency bands. The upregulation of the prefrontal IL-1 system (IL-1β and its receptor) after LPS treatment was revealed by immunoassays simultaneously with the observed EEG changes. Furthermore, we investigated the LPS-induced alterations of the synaptic proteome in the PFC using 2-D differential gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry and found 48 altered proteins mainly related to cellular signaling, cytoskeletal organization, and carbohydrate/energy metabolism. Thus, our results indicate remarkable electrophysiological and molecular changes in the PFC related to acute systemic inflammation that may explain some of the concomitant behavioral and physiological symptoms.

Abstract
AIM The presence of Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria, in particular, Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) in periapical granulomas predicts the generation of citrullinated proteins in the lesion. Citrullination of proteins may lead to the formation of anti-citrullinated autoantibodies (ACPA-s) initiating the formation of an autoimmune loop which may contribute to the perpetuation of inflammatory reactions and tissue damage in chronic apical periodontitis. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the formation of citrullinated proteins in chronic apical periodontitis and whether they can act as autoantigens. METHODOLOGY Twenty-five periapical granulomas (n = 25) were investigated in the study. Healthy periodontal tissue samples served as normal control tissue (n = 6). The peptidyl-citrulline level was determined with the dot blot method. ACPA levels were analysed using anti-citrullinated cyclic peptide (anti-CCP) EDIA kit. Differences between periapical granuloma and control samples were assessed using Mann-Whitney U tests. p Values <.05 were considered as statistically significant. RESULTS Protein concentrations, peptidyl-citrulline levels and anti-CCP ratios were compared between periapical granuloma and healthy control groups. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed significant (p = .042) hypercitrullination in periapical granuloma samples. Moreover, there was a significant difference in the ACPA ratios between periapical granuloma (2.03 ± 0.30) and healthy control (0.63 ± 0.17) groups (p = .01). Seventeen of 25 periapical granuloma samples (17/25; 68%), whereas one out of six control samples (1/6; 17%) were shown to be positive for the presence of ACPA. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study detecting the presence of citrullinated peptides and APCA in periapical granuloma, suggesting the contribution of autoimmune reactions in the pathogenesis and perpetuation of chronic apical periodontitis.

Abstract
The main protease (Mpro) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) plays a crucial role in its life cycle. The Mpro-mediated limited proteolysis of the viral polyproteins is necessary for the replication of the virus, and cleavage of the host proteins of the infected cells may also contribute to viral pathogenesis, such as evading the immune responses or triggering cell toxicity. Therefore, the identification of host substrates of the viral protease is of special interest. To identify cleavage sites in cellular substrates of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, we determined changes in the HEK293T cellular proteome upon expression of the Mpro using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The candidate cellular substrates of Mpro were identified by mass spectrometry, and then potential cleavage sites were predicted in silico using NetCorona 1.0 and 3CLP web servers. The existence of the predicted cleavage sites was investigated by in vitro cleavage reactions using recombinant protein substrates containing the candidate target sequences, followed by the determination of cleavage positions using mass spectrometry. Unknown and previously described SARS-CoV-2 Mpro cleavage sites and cellular substrates were also identified. Identification of target sequences is important to understand the specificity of the enzyme, as well as aiding the improvement and development of computational methods for cleavage site prediction.

Abstract
In life-science research isogenic B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) are widely known and preferred for their genetic stability - they are often used for studying mutations for example, where genetic stability is crucial. We have shown previously that phenotypic variability can be observed in isogenic B-lymphoblastoid cell lines. Isogenic LCLs present well-defined phenotypic differences on various levels, for example on the gene expression level or the chromatin level. Based on our investigations, the phenotypic variability of the isogenic LCLs is accompanied by certain genetic variation too. We have developed a compendium of LCL datasets that present the phenotypic and genetic variability of five isogenic LCLs from a multiomic perspective. In this paper, we present additional datasets generated with Next Generation Sequencing techniques to provide genomic and transcriptomic profiles (WGS, RNA-seq, single cell RNA-seq), protein-DNA interactions (ChIP-seq), together with mass spectrometry and flow cytometry datasets to monitor the changes in the proteome. We are sharing these datasets with the scientific community according to the FAIR principles for further investigations.

Abstract
Chemical barriers are composed of those sites of the human body where potential pathogens can contact the host cells. A chemical barrier is made up by different proteins that are part of the antimicrobial and immunomodulatory protein/peptide (AMP) family. Proteins of the AMP family exert antibacterial, antiviral, and/or antifungal activity and can modulate the immune system. Besides these proteins, a wide range of proteases and protease inhibitors can also be found in the chemical barriers maintaining a proteolytic balance in the host and/or the pathogens. In this review, we aimed to identify the chemical barrier components in nine human body fluids. The interaction networks of the chemical barrier proteins in each examined body fluid were generated as well.

Abstract
Beige adipocytes with thermogenic function are activated during cold exposure in white adipose tissue through the process of browning. These cells, similar to brown adipocytes, dissipate stored chemical energy in the form of heat with the help of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). Recently, we have shown that tissue transglutaminase (TG2) knock-out mice have decreased cold tolerance in parallel with lower utilization of their epididymal adipose tissue and reduced browning. To learn more about the thermogenic function of this fat depot, we isolated preadipocytes from the epididymal adipose tissue of wild-type and TG2 knock-out mice and differentiated them in the beige direction. Although differentiation of TG2 knock-out preadipocytes is phenotypically similar to the wild-type cells, the mitochondria of the knock-out beige cells have multiple impairments including an altered electron transport system generating lower electrochemical potential difference, reduced oxygen consumption, lower UCP1 protein content, and a higher portion of fragmented mitochondria. Most of these differences are present in preadipocytes as well, and the differentiation process cannot overcome the functional disadvantages completely. TG2 knock-out beige adipocytes produce more iodothyronine deiodinase 3 (DIO3) which may inactivate thyroid hormones required for the establishment of optimal mitochondrial function. The TG2 knock-out preadipocytes and beige cells are both hypometabolic as compared with the wild-type controls which may also be explained by the lower expression of solute carrier proteins SLC25A45, SLC25A47, and SLC25A42 which transport acylcarnitine, Co-A, and amino acids into the mitochondrial matrix. As a consequence, the mitochondria in TG2 knock-out beige adipocytes probably cannot reach the energy-producing threshold required for normal thermogenic functions, which may contribute to the decreased cold tolerance of TG2 knock-out mice.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of our study was to explore the pathophysiologic role of oxidation of hemoglobin (Hb) to ferrylHb in human atherosclerosis. Results: We observed a severe oxidation of Hb to ferrylHb in complicated atherosclerotic lesions of carotid arteries with oxidative changes of the globin moieties, detected previously described oxidation hotspots in Hb (β1Cys93; β1Cys112; β2Cys112) and identified a novel oxidation hotspot (α1Cys104). After producing a monoclonal anti-ferrylHb antibody, ferrylHb was revealed to be localized extracellularly and also internalized by macrophages in the human hemorrhagic complicated lesions. We demonstrated that ferrylHb is taken up via phagocytosis as well as CD163 receptor-mediated endocytosis and then transported to lysosomes involving actin polymerization. Internalization of ferrylHb was accompanied by upregulation of heme oxygenase-1 and H-ferritin and accumulation of iron within lysosomes as a result of heme/iron uptake. Importantly, macrophages exposed to ferrylHb in atherosclerotic plaques exhibited a proinflammatory phenotype, as reflected by elevated levels of IL-1β and TNF-α. To find further signatures of ferrylHb in complicated lesions, we performed RNA-seq analysis on biopsies from patients who underwent endarterectomies. RNA-seq analysis demonstrated that human complicated lesions had a unique transcriptomic profile different from arteries and atheromatous plaques. Pathways affected in complicated lesions included gene changes associated with phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling, lipid transport, tissue remodeling, and vascularization. Targeted analysis of gene expression associated with calcification, apoptosis, and hemolytic-specific clusters indicated an increase in the severity of complicated lesions compared with atheroma. A 39% overlap in the differential gene expression profiles of human macrophages exposed to ferrylHb and the complicated lesion profiles was uncovered. Among these 547 genes, we found inflammatory, angiogenesis, and iron metabolism gene clusters regulated in macrophages. Innovation and Conclusion: We conclude that oxidation of Hb to ferrylHb contributes to the progression of atherosclerosis via polarizing macrophages into a proatherogenic phenotype. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 35, 917-950.

Abstract
(1) Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic disorders and a risk factor for bacterial ocular infections. Our aim was to examine the antibacterial activity of tears from patients with diabetes mellitus with and without diabetic retinopathy and to link this activity to the level of tear proteins. (2) Methods: Non-stimulated basal tears were collected from 39 eyes of 35 subjects. The antibacterial activity of tear pools was tested against pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Escherichia coli ATCC 26922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 strains. The levels of 10 antimicrobial and immunomodulatory proteins were analyzed in the individual tear samples of the studied groups by SRM-based targeted mass spectrometry analysis. (3) Results: Disease stage-specific antimicrobial effect was observed in case of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 strain, and a non-disease specific inhibitory effect was observed in case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 strain. Changes in the levels of the studied antimicrobial and immunomodulatory proteins in the tears of the studied groups were also observed. (4) Conclusions: The higher ocular infection rate observed in diabetic patients may be the consequence of the decreased antimicrobial activity of tears possibly caused by the changes in the levels of antimicrobial and immunomodulatory proteins.

Abstract
Brown and beige adipocytes dissipate energy by uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1)-dependent and UCP1-independent thermogenesis, which may be utilized to develop treatments against obesity. We have found that mRNA and protein expression of the alanine/serine/cysteine transporter-1 (ASC-1) was induced during adipocyte differentiation of human brown-prone deep neck and beige-competent subcutaneous neck progenitors, and SGBS preadipocytes. cAMP stimulation of differentiated adipocytes led to elevated uptake of serine, cysteine, and glycine, in parallel with increased oxygen consumption, augmented UCP1-dependent proton leak, increased creatine-driven substrate cycle-coupled respiration, and upregulation of thermogenesis marker genes and several respiratory complex subunits; these outcomes were impeded in the presence of the specific ASC-1 inhibitor, BMS-466442. Our data suggest that ASC-1-dependent consumption of serine, cysteine, and glycine is required for efficient thermogenic stimulation of human adipocytes.

Abstract
Periodontal disease (PD) can be an important precipitating factor in the production of citrullinated proteins. Its importance is emphasized, but it is not the only way to produce citrullinated proteins. The aim of the current study was to determine the periodontal conditions and the salivary citrullinated protein content in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared to healthy controls. We also wished to correlate citrullinated protein levels in the saliva and serum biomarkers with the periodontal status and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement of patients with RA. Twenty-three patients with RA and 17 healthy controls participated the study. Saliva samples were taken: citrulline content of saliva was measured. Blood test results for patients with RA were collected. TMJ disorders were described. Cariological and periodontal indices were registered. Periodontal conditions and periodontal staging were also registered. Comparison of measured values between groups was performed. Intragroup correlation of patients’ values was counted. The prevalence of TMJ complaints was significantly higher in the RA group (8/23) versus controls (1/17). The patients with RA had worse periodontal condition because more patients with RA had gingivitis with a significantly higher bleeding on probing (BOP) (RA: 22.4 ± 25.0%; controls: 6.36 ± 11.6%; p = 0.018). Gingival index (GI) was also significantly higher in the patients than in controls (RA: 0.68 ± 0.58; controls: 0.19 ± 0.38; p = 0.010). The citrullinated protein (relative) content of saliva did not differ significantly (p = 0.147) between patients with RA (1102.2 ± 530.8) and healthy controls (1873.1 ± 1594.9). In RA, the salivary anti-CCP levels positively correlated with PD staging (R = 0.464, p = 0.039)
. Control subjects more commonly had healthy gingiva than RA patients. Moreover, in the control group more individuals had intact and reduced height periodontium than periodontitis compared to the RA group. There was no significant difference in the levels of salivary citrulline between patients with RA and controls, despite the significant differences in their periodontal status. Thus, salivary citrulline levels are not associated with RA disease severity.

Abstract
The reanalysis of genomics and proteomics datasets by bioinformatics approaches is an appealing way to examine large amounts of reliable data. This can be especially true in cases such as Alzheimer's disease, where the access to biological samples, along with well-defined patient information can be challenging. Considering the inflammatory part of Alzheimer's disease, our aim was to examine the presence of antimicrobial and immunomodulatory peptides in human proteomic datasets deposited in the publicly available proteomics database ProteomeXchange (http://www.proteomexchange.org/). First, a unified, comprehensive human antimicrobial and immunomodulatory peptide database, containing all known human antimicrobial and immunomodulatory peptides was constructed and used along with the datasets containing high-quality proteomics data originating from the examination of Alzheimer's disease and control groups. A throughout network analysis was carried out, and the enriched GO functions were examined. Less than 1% of all identified proteins in the brain were antimicrobial and immunomodulatory peptides, but the alterations characteristic of Alzheimer's disease could be recapitulated with their analysis. Our data emphasize the key role of the innate immune system and blood clotting in the development of Alzheimer's disease. The central role of antimicrobial and immunomodulatory peptides suggests their utilization as potential targets for mechanistic studies and future therapies.

Abstract
Antimicrobial and immunomodulatory peptides (AMPs) are considered as the key players in the maintenance of skin barrier functions. Here, we developed a novel approach for the examination of AMPs in the outermost layer of the epidermis, namely stratum corneum (SC). The SC sample collection by tape stripping was coupled with detection by highly specific and sensitive parallel reaction monitoring (PRM)-based mass spectrometry. We found that hexane-free processing of SC samples produced higher protein yield compared to hexane-based extraction. Of the 18 investigated peptides, 9 could be detected either in healthy or in inflamed skin specimens. Regarding the amount of S100A8, LCN2, LACRT and LYZ significant topographical differences were described among gland poor (GP), sebaceous gland rich (SGR) and apocrine gland rich (AGR) healthy skin regions. We applied a minimally invasive, reproducible approach for sampling, which can be assessed for research and diagnostic purposes and for monitoring the effectiveness of therapies in skin diseases.

Abstract
The use of peptide-drug conjugates has generated wide interest as targeted antitumor therapeutics. The anthracycline antibiotic, daunomycin, is a widely used anticancer agent and it is often conjugated to different tumor homing peptides. However, comprehensive analytical characterization of these conjugates via tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is challenging due to the lability of the O-glycosidic bond and the appearance of MS/MS fragment ions with little structural information. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the optimal fragmentation conditions that suppress the prevalent dissociation of the anthracycline drug and provide good sequence coverage. In this study, we comprehensively compared the performance of common fragmentation techniques, such as higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD), electron transfer dissociation (ETD), electron-transfer higher energy collisional dissociation (EThcD) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–tandem time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF/TOF) activation methods for the structural identification of synthetic daunomycin-peptide conjugates by high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry. Our results showed that peptide backbone fragmentation was inhibited by applying electron-based dissociation methods to conjugates, most possibly due to the “electron predator” effect of the daunomycin. We found that efficient HCD fragmentation was largely influenced by several factors, such as amino acid sequences, charge states and HCD energy. High energy HCD and MALDI-TOF/TOF combined with collision induced dissociation (CID) mode are the methods of choice to unambiguously assign the sequence, localize different conjugation sites and differentiate conjugate isomers.

Abstract
(1) Background: Wine contains a variety of molecules with potential beneficial effects on human health. Our aim was to examine the wine components with high-resolution mass spectrometry including high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry in two wine types made from grapes with or without the fungus Botrytis cinerea, or "noble rot". (2) For LC-MS/MS analysis, 12 wine samples (7 without and 5 with noble rotting) from 4 different wineries were used and wine components were identified and quantified. (3) Results: 288 molecules were identified in the wines and the amount of 169 molecules was statistically significantly different between the two wine types. A database search was carried out to find the molecules, which were examined in functional studies so far, with high emphasis on molecules with antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. (4) Conclusions: A comprehensive functional dataset related to identified wine components is also provided highlighting the importance of components with potential health benefits.

Abstract
Saliva is an easy-to access body fluid with high diagnostic potential. The utilization of saliva for oral cancer diagnosis can be an attractive possibility. Besides the oral cancer, it is important to better understand the precancerous lesions such as oral lichen planus (OLP) and leukoplakia (OLK). In order to examine the changes of salivary proteins in controls, patients with oral cancer, and patients with precancerous conditions, proximity extension assay was utilized. Some proteins and functions were characteristic to the examined groups and can serve as a starting point for further biomarker studies. The different nature of OLK and OLP was demonstrated, showing the malignant transformation and the inflammation as the prominent biological processes in the OLK and OLP, respectively. The salivary level of IL6 was verified using quantitative ELISA and the mRNA level was also studied. Elevated IL6 levels could be detected in precancerous groups compared to controls.

Abstract
![]()
Bottom-up
proteomics relies on identification of peptides from
tandem mass spectra, usually via matching against sequence databases.
Confidence in a peptide–spectrum match can be characterized
by a score value given by the database search engines, and it depends
on the information content and the quality of the spectrum. The latter
are influenced by experimental parameters, of which the collision
energy is the most important one in the case of collision-induced
dissociation. We examined how the identification score of the Byonic
and Andromeda (MaxQuant) engines varies with collision energy for
more than a thousand individual peptides from a HeLa tryptic digest
on a QTof instrument. We thereby extended our earlier study on Mascot
scores and corroborated its findings on the potential bimodal nature
of this energy dependence. Optimal energies as a function of m/z show comparable linear trends for the
three engines. On the basis of peptide-level results, we designed
methods with one or two liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
(LC-MS/MS) runs and various collision energy settings and assessed
their practical performance in peptide and protein identification
from the HeLa standard sample. A 10–40% gain in various measures,
such as the number of identified proteins or sequence coverage, was
obtained over the factory default settings. Best performing methods
differ for the three engines, suggesting that the experimental parameters
should be fine-tuned to the choice of the engine. We also recommend
a simple approach and provide reference data to ease the transfer
of the optimized methods to other mass spectrometers relevant for
proteomics. We demonstrate the utility of this approach on an Orbitrap
instrument. Data sets can be accessed via the MassIVE repository (MSV000086379).

Abstract
Heme released from red blood cells targets a number of cell components including the cytoskeleton. The purpose of the present study was to determine the impact of free heme (20–300 µM) on human skeletal muscle fibres made available during orthopedic surgery. Isometric force production and oxidative protein modifications were monitored in permeabilized skeletal muscle fibre segments. A single heme exposure (20 µM) to muscle fibres decreased Ca2+-activated maximal (active) force (Fo) by about 50% and evoked an approximately 3-fold increase in Ca2+-independent (passive) force (Fpassive). Oxidation of sulfhydryl (SH) groups was detected in structural proteins (e.g., nebulin, α-actinin, meromyosin 2) and in contractile proteins (e.g., myosin heavy chain and myosin-binding protein C) as well as in titin in the presence of 300 µM heme. This SH oxidation was not reversed by dithiothreitol (50 mM). Sulfenic acid (SOH) formation was also detected in the structural proteins (nebulin, α-actinin, meromyosin). Heme effects on SH oxidation and SOH formation were prevented by hemopexin (Hpx) and α1-microglobulin (A1M). These data suggest that free heme has a significant impact on human skeletal muscle fibres, whereby oxidative alterations in structural and contractile proteins limit contractile function. This may explain and or contribute to the weakness and increase of skeletal muscle stiffness in chronic heart failure, rhabdomyolysis, and other hemolytic diseases. Therefore, therapeutic use of Hpx and A1M supplementation might be effective in preventing heme-induced skeletal muscle alterations.

Abstract
Background Utilization of quantitative proteomics data on the network level is still a challenge in proteomics data analysis. Currently existing models use sophisticated, sometimes hard to implement analysis techniques. Our aim was to generate a relatively simple strategy for quantitative proteomics data analysis in order to utilize as much of the data generated in a proteomics experiment as possible. Results In this study, we applied label-free proteomics, and generated a network model utilizing both qualitative, and quantitative data, in order to examine the early host response to Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1). A weighted network model was generated based on the amount of proteins measured by mass spectrometry, and analysis of weighted networks and functional sub-networks revealed upregulation of proteins involved in translation, transcription, and DNA condensation in the early phase of the viral life-cycle. Conclusion A relatively simple strategy for network analysis was created and applied to examine the effect of HIV-1 on host cellular proteome. We believe that our model may prove beneficial in creating algorithms, allowing for both quantitative and qualitative studies of proteome change in various biological and pathological processes by quantitative mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disease that causes impaired vision and, in advanced cases, blindness. The increasing prevalence of glaucoma due to an ageing population has necessitated the identification of suitable biomarkers for the early detection of the disease. Aqueous humour (AH) has been proposed as a source of biomarkers, but it can only be collected using a minor, yet invasive surgical intervention. Tears, however, are constantly available and can be collected any time via noninvasive methods. In order to examine the utility of tear as a surrogate for aqueous humour in biomarker development, we compared the levels of 27 cytokines and chemokines in paired samples of tear and aqueous humour using a Luminex multiplex immunobead-based technique. Significantly higher levels of cytokines in tear compared to aqueous humour were detected suggesting that tear and aqueous humour are not identical in terms of inflammation response. Furthermore, the levels of IFN-γ, GM-CSF and IL-5 in tear were significantly lower in patients who developed complications after one year, but no statistically significant changes in cytokine levels were observed in aqueous humour. These three molecules may have potential as predictive biomarkers for the appearance of late flap-related complications of trabeculectomy.

Abstract
The small intestine is the longest part of the chicken (Gallus gallus) gastrointestinal system that is specialized for nutrient absorption. It is known that decrease in intestinal villi area or height in early age can cause a reduction in essential nutrient intake, which may lead to delayed growth and consequently poorer performance of broiler chickens. The small intestinal absorptive surface is known to be affected by various factors, among others things the nutritional state. In our experiment, we aimed to investigate the possible protein expression alterations that lie behind the villus area and height decrease caused by feed deprivation. A total of 24 chickens were divided into three groups, namely ad libitum fed, fasted for 24 h, fasted for 24 h then refed for 2 h. The morphometric parameters were also measured in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum tissue sections using image analysis. Differential proteome analyses from jejunum samples were performed using two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis followed by tryptic digestion and protein identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. Overall 541 protein spots were detected after 2D. Among them, eleven showed 1.5-fold or higher significant difference in expression and were successfully identified. In response to 24 h fasting, the expression of nine proteins was higher and that of two proteins was lower compared to the ad libitum fed group. The functions of the differentially expressed proteins indicate that the 24 h fasting mainly affects the expression of structural proteins, and proteins involved in lipid transport, general stress response, and intestinal defense.

Abstract
Tears are a constantly available and highly valuable body fluid collectable by non-invasive techniques. Although it can give information on ocular status and be used for follow-ups, tear analysis is challenging due to the low amount of sample that is available. Proximity extension assay (PEA) allows for a sensitive and scalable analysis of multiple proteins in a single run from a one-µL sample, so we applied this technique and examined the amount of 184 proteins in tears collected at different time points after trabeculectomy. The success rate of this surgical intervention highly depends on proper wound healing; therefore, information on the process is indispensable. We observed significantly higher levels of IL-6 and MMP1 at the early time points (day one, two, and four) following trabeculectomy, and the protein amounts went back to the level observed before the surgery three months after the intervention. Patients with or without complications were tested, and proteins that have roles in the immune response and wound healing could be observed with altered frequency and amounts in the cases of patients with complications. Our results highlight the importance of inflammation in wound-healing complications, and at the same time, indicate the utility of PEA in tear analysis.

Abstract
Aim of the study: Astrocytomas are primary CNS malignancies which infiltrate the peritumoral tissue, even when they are low-grade. Schwannomas are also primary CNS tumors, however, they do not show peritumoral infiltration similarly to brain metastases which almost never invade the neighboring parts of brain. Extracellular matrix is altered in composition in various cancer types and is proposed to play an important role in the development of invasiveness of astrocytic tumors. This study aims to identify differences in the ECM composition of CNS tumors with different invasiveness.Materials and methods: The mRNA and protein levels of ECM components were measured by QRT-PCR and mass-spectrometry, respectively, in grade II astrocytoma, NSCLC brain metastasis, schwannomas, and non-tumor brain control samples. Expressional data was analyzed statistically with ANOVA and nearest neighbor search.Results: There is a significant difference in the expressional pattern of invasion-related ECM components among various CNS tumors, especially among those of different embryonic origin. Non-invasive tumors show only slight differences in the expressional pattern of ECM molecules. Tumor samples can be separated based on their expressional pattern using statistical classifiers, therefore the ECM composition seems to be typical of various cancer types.Conclusions: Differences in the expressional pattern of the ECM could be responsible for the different invasiveness of various CNS tumors.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the seventh most common malignancy and the ninth most frequent cause of cancer death in Europe. Within Europe, Hungary has one of the highest rates of OSCC incidence and mortality. Thus, there is an urgent need to improve early detection. Saliva, as a readily available body fluid, became an increasingly important substance for the detection of biomarkers for many diseases. Different research groups have identified salivary biomarkers specific for OSCC for different countries. In this study, saliva samples of Hungarian patients with OSCC were studied to discover disease‐specific and perhaps region‐specific biomarkers. LC‐mass spectrometry (MS)/MS analysis on a linear ion trap‐Orbitrap mass spectrometer was used for qualitative and quantitative salivary protein profiling. More than 500 proteins were identified from saliva by shotgun proteomics. The up‐ and downregulated proteins in the saliva of patients with OSCC highlighted the importance of protein–protein interaction networks involving the immune system and proteolysis in disease development. Two potential biomarkers from our shotgun analysis and a third candidate reported earlier by a Taiwanese group were further examined by ELISA on a larger reference set of samples. Resistin, a biomarker reported in Taiwan but not validated in our study, highlights the necessity of application of standardized analysis methods in different ethnic or geographical populations to identify biomarkers with sufficient specificity and sensitivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The most common malignant primary brain tumor is glioblastoma which infiltrates the peritumoral brain, while secondary brain metastases are well demarcated malignancies. Previous research has proved the pivotal role of the changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) in cancer cell invasion. MATERIALS AND METHODS The mRNA expression of 40 ECM molecules was determined using qRT-PCR in 54 fresh-frozen glioblastoma and brain metastasis samples. Seventy-two samples were used to determine the levels of 20 ECM proteins. RESULTS The mRNA and protein expression pattern of the studied tumors differs greatly. Linear discriminant analysis of mRNA expression identified samples based on their mRNA expression profile with 92.3% probability and highlighted the role of some molecules as their level greatly influenced sample identification. CONCLUSION Different tumor types with different invasiveness differ in the composition of their ECM and this can be used to identify samples. Furthermore, some ECM molecules greatly contribute to tumor invasiveness and could be targets of anti-invasive oncotherapy.

Abstract
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) develops as a complication of retinal detachment surgery and represents a devastating condition leading to serious vision loss. A good animal model that permits extensive functional studies and drug testing is crucial in finding better therapeutic modalities for PVR. A previously established mouse model, using dispase injection, was analyzed from the proteomic point of view, examining global protein profile changes by 2D electrophoresis, image analysis and HPLC–tandem mass spectrometry‐based protein identification. The easy applicability of the mouse model was used to study the role of transglutaminase 2 (TG2) in PVR formation by proteomic examination of dispase‐induced TG2 knockout vitreous samples. Our data demonstrate that, despite the altered appearance of crystallin proteins, the lack of TG2 did not prevent the development of PVR.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounting for about 90% of malignant oral lesions is the 6th most common malignancy worldwide. Diagnostic delay may contribute to dismal survival rate therefore, there is a need for developing specific and sensitive biomarkers to improve early detection. Hungarian population occupies the top places of statistics regarding OSCC incidence and mortality figures therefore, we aimed at finding potential salivary protein biomarkers suitable for the Hungarian population. In this study we investigated 14 proteins which were previously reported as significantly elevated in saliva of patients with OSCC. In case of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α and VEGF a Luminex-based multiplex kit was utilized and the salivary concentrations were determined. In case of catalase, profilin-1, S100A9, CD59, galectin-3-bindig protein, CD44, thioredoxin and keratin-19, SRM-based targeted proteomic method was developed and the relative amount of the proteins was determined in the saliva of patients with OSCC and controls. After several rounds of optimization and using stable isotope-containing peptides, we developed an SRM-based method for rapid salivary protein detection. The validation of the selected potential biomarkers by ELISA revealed salivary protein S100A9 and IL-6 as useful protein biomarkers for OSCC detection improving the diagnostic accuracy for OSCC in the Hungarian population.A noninvasive diagnostic method to detect biomarkers useful for the early diagnosis of OSCC was developed. This can be an attractive strategy in screening saliva samples collected in a nation-wide multi-centric study in order to decrease morbidity, mortality, to enhance survival rate and to improve quality of life. The heterogeneity of protein biomarkers found in different ethnic groups presented in the literature highlights the importance of identification of population-tailored protein biomarkers.

Abstract
Retinoids – derivatives of vitamin A – are important cell permeant signaling molecules that regulate gene expression through activation of nuclear receptors. P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and ABCG2 are plasma membrane efflux transporters affecting the tissue distribution of numerous structurally unrelated lipophilic compounds. In the present work we aimed to study the interaction of the above ABC transporters with retinoid derivatives. We have found that 13-cis-retinoic acid, retinol and retinyl-acetate inhibited the Pgp and ABCG2 mediated substrate transport as well as the substrate stimulated ATPase activity of these transporters. Interestingly, 9-cis-retinoic acid and ATRA (all-trans retinoic acid), both are stereoisomers of 13-cis-retinoic acid, did not have any effect on the transporters’ activity. Our fluorescence anisotropy measurements revealed that 13-cis-retinoic acid, retinol and retinyl-acetate selectively increase the viscosity and packing density of the membrane. Thus, the mixed-type inhibition of both transporters by retinol and ABCG2 by 13-cis-retinoic acid may be the collective result of direct interactions of these retinoids with the substrate binding site(s) and of indirect interactions mediated by their membrane rigidifying effects.

Abstract
Background Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant disease of the central nervous system. Its prognosis is unfavorable, and the median overall survival of patients is 16 to 24 months. The main cause of the poor survival data are the extensive invasion of cancer cells to the neighboring parenchyma, thus leading to inevitable local recurrence. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a known factor in tumor invasion, and differences in the ECM of nontumor brain and glioblastoma has been proven. Methods In this research, 20 invasion-related expressions of ECM components were determined in 26 GBM flash-frozen samples using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and proteomic measurements. Expression data were then set against the survival data of the patients. Results Significant alterations between groups with different survival rates could not be established in the individual evaluation of the expression level of the selected molecules. However, statistical analysis of the expression pattern of invasion-related molecules revealed a correlation with prognosis. The positive predictive values of the messenger RNA (mRNA) and the proteomic expression studies were 0.85 and 0.89, respectively. The receiver operation characteristic value was 0.775 for the mRNA expression data and 0.875 for the protein expression data. Furthermore, a group of molecules, including brevican, cadherin-12, integrin β1, integrin α3, laminin α4, and laminin β1, that play a prominent role in invasion were identified. Conclusions Joint assessment of the expression of invasion-related molecules provides a specific invasion spectrum of the tumor that correlates with the survival of glioblastoma patients. Using statistical classifiers enables the adoption of an invasion spectrum as a considerably accurate prognostic factor while gaining predictive information on potential molecular oncotherapeutic targets at the same time.

Abstract
Identification of new biomarkers specific for various pathological conditions is an important field in medical sciences. Body fluids have emerging potential in biomarker studies especially those which are continuously available and can be collected by non-invasive means. Changes in the protein composition of body fluids such as tears, saliva, sweat, etc. may provide information on both local and systemic conditions of medical relevance. In this review, our aim is to discuss the quantitative proteomics techniques used in biomarker studies, and to present advances in quantitative body fluid proteomics of non-invasively collectable body fluids with relevance to biomarker identification. The advantages and limitations of the widely used quantitative proteomics techniques are also presented. Based on the reviewed literature, we suggest an ideal pipeline for body fluid analyses aiming at biomarkers discoveries: starting from identification of biomarker candidates by shotgun quantitative proteomics or protein arrays, through verification of potential biomarkers by targeted mass spectrometry, to the antibody-based validation of biomarkers. The importance of body fluids as a rich source of biomarkers is discussed. SIGNIFICANCE Quantitative proteomics is a challenging part of proteomics applications. The body fluids collected by non-invasive means have high relevance in medicine; they are good sources for biomarkers used in establishing the diagnosis, follow up of disease progression and predicting high risk groups. The review presents the most widely used quantitative proteomics techniques in body fluid analysis and lists the potential biomarkers identified in tears, saliva, sweat, nasal mucus and urine for local and systemic diseases.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease and a leading cause of blindness among patients with diabetes. The appearance and the severity of the symptoms correlate with the duration of diabetes and poor blood glucose level management. Diabetic retinopathy is also categorized as a chronic low-level inflammatory disease; the high blood glucose level promotes the accumulation of the advanced glycation end products and leads to the stimulation of monocytes and macrophages. Examination of protein level alterations in tears using state-of the art proteomics techniques have identified several proteins as possible biomarkers for the different stages of the diabetic retinopathy. Some of the differentially expressed tear proteins have a role in the barrier function of tears linking the diabetic retinopathy with another eye complication of diabetes, namely the diabetic keratopathy resulting in impaired wound healing. Understanding the molecular events leading to the eye complications caused by hyperglycemia may help the identification of novel biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets in order to improve quality of life of diabetic patients. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Diabetic retinopathy (DR), the leading cause of blindness among diabetic patients can develop without any serious symptoms therefore the early detection is crucial. Because of the increasing prevalence there is a high need for improved screening methods able to diagnose DR as soon as possible. The non-invasive collection and the relatively high protein concentration make the tear fluid a good source for biomarker discovery helping the early diagnosis. In this work we have reviewed the administration of advanced proteomics techniques used in tear biomarker studies and the identified biomarkers with potential to improve the already existing screening methods for DR detection.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, with increasing prevalence affecting millions of people worldwide. Currently, only autopsy is able to confirm the diagnosis with a 100% certainty, therefore, biomarkers from body fluids obtained by non-invasive means provide an attractive alternative for the diagnosis of Alzheimer`s disease. Global changes of the protein profile were examined by quantitative proteomics; firstly, electrophoresis and LC-MS/MS were used, thereafter, SRM-based targeted proteomics method was developed and applied to examine quantitative changes of tear proteins. Alterations in the tear flow rate, total tear protein concentration and composition of the chemical barrier specific to AD were demonstrated, and the combination of lipocalin-1, dermcidin, lysozyme-C and lacritin was shown to be a potential biomarker, with an 81% sensitivity and 77% specificity.

Abstract
Intracellular free heme predisposes to oxidant-mediated tissue damage. We hypothesized that free heme causes alterations in myocardial contractility via disturbed structure and/or regulation of the contractile proteins. Isometric force production and its Ca(2+)-sensitivity (pCa50) were monitored in permeabilized human ventricular cardiomyocytes. Heme exposure altered cardiomyocyte morphology and evoked robust decreases in Ca(2+)-activated maximal active force (Fo) while increasing Ca(2+)-independent passive force (F passive). Heme treatments, either alone or in combination with H2O2, did not affect pCa50. The increase in F passive started at 3 µM heme exposure and could be partially reversed by the antioxidant dithiothreitol. Protein sulfhydryl (SH) groups of thick myofilament content decreased and sulfenic acid formation increased after treatment with heme. Partial restoration in the SH group content was observed in a protein running at 140 kDa after treatment with dithiothreitol, but not in other proteins, such as filamin C, myosin heavy chain, cardiac myosin binding protein C, and α-actinin. Importantly, binding of heme to hemopexin or alpha-1-microglobulin prevented its effects on cardiomyocyte contractility, suggesting an allosteric effect. In line with this, free heme directly bound to myosin light chain 1 in human cardiomyocytes. Our observations suggest that free heme modifies cardiac contractile proteins via posttranslational protein modifications and via binding to myosin light chain 1, leading to severe contractile dysfunction. This may contribute to systolic and diastolic cardiac dysfunctions in hemolytic diseases, heart failure, and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults with inevitable recurrence after oncotherapy. The insufficient effect of "gold standard" temozolomide-based concomitant radiochemotherapy may be due to the inability to prevent tumor cell invasion. Peritumoral infiltration depends mainly on the interaction between extracellular matrix (ECM) components and cell membrane receptors. Changes in invasive behaviour after oncotherapy can be evaluated at the molecular level by determining the RNA expression and protein levels of the invasion-related ECM components. The expression of nineteen ECM molecules was determined at both RNA and protein levels in thirty-one GBM samples. Fifteen GBM samples originated from the first surgical procedure on patients before oncotherapy, and sixteen GBM samples were collected at the second surgery due to local recurrence after concomitant chemoirradiation. RNA expressions were measured with qRT-PCR, and protein levels were determined by quantitative analysis of Western blots. Only MMP-9 RNA transcript level was reduced (p < 0.05) whereas at protein level, eight molecules showed changes concordant with RNA expression with significant decrease in brevican only. The results suggest that concomitant radiochemotherapy does not have sufficient impact on the expression of invasion-related ECM components of glioblastoma, oncotherapy does not significantly affect its invasive behavior. To avoid the spread of tumors into the brain parenchyma, supplementation of antiproliferative treatment with anti-invasive agents may be worth consideration in oncotherapy for glioblastoma.

Abstract
RATIONALE A targeted proteomics method based on selected reaction monitoring (SRM) is a relevant approach for the analysis of multiple analytes in biological samples. Defensins are phylogenetically conserved small antimicrobial peptides contributing to innate host defense and exhibiting low immunogenicity, resistance to proteolysis and a broad range of antimicrobial activities. The goal of the present study was to develop and optimize SRM-based targeted proteomics methods for the detection of human β-defensins 1-4 in various biological fluids. METHODS An SRM-based targeted proteomics method was developed and validated for the detection of human β-defensins 1-4. The supernatants of resting and IL-1β-stimulated Caco2, HT-29 and SW-1116 colonic epithelial cells (CEC), cell lysates of CECs and tear samples of human healthy individuals were analyzed and the feasibility of the developed method was validated by ELISA and dot-blot analysis complemented by RT-qPCR. RESULTS Our results demonstrate that the developed SRM method offers an alternative approach for the cost-effective and rapid analysis of human β-defensins in samples with biological relevance. CONCLUSIONS A semi-quantitative targeted mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for the relative quantification of β-defensins 1-4 in cell culture supernatants and body fluid analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The healthy human skin with its effective antimicrobial defense system forms an efficient barrier against invading pathogens. There is evidence suggesting that the composition of this chemical barrier varies between diseases, making the easily collected sweat an ideal candidate for biomarker discoveries. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to provide information about the normal composition of the sweat, and to study the chemical barrier found at the surface of skin. METHODS Sweat samples from healthy individuals were collected during sauna bathing, and the global protein panel was analysed by label-free mass spectrometry. SRM-based targeted proteomic methods were designed and stable isotope labelled reference peptides were used for method validation. RESULTS Ninety-five sweat proteins were identified, 20 of them were novel proteins. It was shown that dermcidin is the most abundant sweat protein, and along with apolipoprotein D, clusterin, prolactin-inducible protein and serum albumin, they make up 91% of secreted sweat proteins. The roles of these highly abundant proteins were reviewed; all of which have protective functions, highlighting the importance of sweat glands in composing the first line of innate immune defense system, and maintaining the epidermal barrier integrity. CONCLUSION Our findings with regard to the proteins forming the chemical barrier of the skin as determined by label-free quantification and targeted proteomics methods are in accordance with previous studies, and can be further used as a starting point for non-invasive sweat biomarker research.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of new cases of legal blindness among adults in the developed countries. Approximately 40% of all people with diabetes have diabetic retinopathy and 5% of these have sight-threatening form. As the advanced stage, where there is a high risk for vision loss, can develop without any serious symptoms, sometimes it is hard to detect it. A non invasive method to detect biomarkers characteristic for diabetic retinopathy from the tear fluid was developed. Tear samples from diabetic patients with no retinopathy, non proliferative and proliferative stages of diabetic retinopathy were analyzed and the protein content of each sample was compared to the protein content of tear pool from healthy volunteers. The samples were labeled with iTRAQ fourplex labels and were analyzed with nanoHPLC coupled ESI-MS/MS mass spectrometry. The lipocalin 1, lactotransferrin, lacritin, lysozyme C, lipophilin A and immunoglobulin lambda chain were identified as possible biomarker candidates with significantly higher relative levels in the tear of patients with diabetic retinopathy.
