Abstract
Purpose ITP is the most prevalent autoimmune blood disorder. The lack of predictive biomarkers for therapeutic response is a major challenge for physicians caring of chronic ITP patients. This study is aimed at identifying predictive biomarkers for drug therapy responses. Methods 2D gel electrophoresis (2-DE) was performed to find differentially expressed proteins. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis was performed to identify protein spots. The Cytoscape software was employed to visualize and analyze the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Then, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were used to confirm the results of the proteins detected in the blood. The DAVID online software was used to explore the Gene Ontology and pathways involved in the disease. Results Three proteins, including APOA1, GC, and TF, were identified as hub-bottlenecks and confirmed by ELISA. Enrichment analysis results showed the importance of several biological processes and pathway, such as the PPAR signaling pathway, complement and coagulation cascades, platelet activation, vitamin digestion and absorption, fat digestion and absorption, cell adhesion molecule binding, and receptor binding. Conclusion and Clinical Relevance. Our results indicate that plasma proteins (APOA1, GC, and TF) can be suitable biomarkers for the prognosis of the response to drug therapy in ITP patients.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer among women. The microenvironment of a cancer tumor is surrounded by various cells, including the microbiota. An imbalance between microbes and their host may contribute to the development and spread of breast cancer. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the influence of Enterococcus faecalis on a breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) to mimic the luminal A subtype of breast cancer, using an untargeted proteomics approach to analyze the proteomic profiles of breast cancer cells after their treatment with E. faecalis in order to understand the microbiome and its role in the development of cancer. The breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was cultured and then treated with a 10% bacterial supernatant at two time points (24 h and 48 h) at 37 °C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. Proteins were then extracted and separated using two-dimensional difference (2D-DIGE) gel electrophoresis, and the statistically significant proteins (p-value < 0.05, fold change > 1.5) were identified via matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The protein fingerprints showed a differential protein expression pattern in the cells treated with E. faecalis for 24 and 48 h compared with the control. We found 58 statistically significant proteins changes in the MCF-7 breast cancer cells affected by E. faecalis. Kilin and transgelin were upregulated after 24 h of treatment and could be used as diagnostic and prognostic markers for breast cancer. In addition, another protein involved in the inhibition of cell proliferation was coiled-coil domain-containing protein 154. The protein markers identified in this study may serve as possible biomarkers for breast cancer progression. This promotes their future uses as important therapeutic goals in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer and increases our understanding of the breast microbiome and its role in the development of cancer.

Abstract
A new protocol for conducting two-dimensional (2D) electrophoresis was developed by combining the recently developed agarose native gel electrophoresis with either vertical sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) or flat SDS agarose gel electrophoresis. Our innovative technique utilizes His/MES buffer (pH 6.1) during the first-dimensional (1D) agarose native gel electrophoresis, which allows for the simultaneous and clear visualization of basic and acidic proteins in their native states or complex structures. Our agarose gel electrophoresis is a true native electrophoresis, unlike blue native-PAGE, which relies on the intrinsic charged states of the proteins and their complexes without the need for dye binding. In the 2D, the gel strip from the 1D agarose gel electrophoresis is soaked in SDS and placed on top of the vertical SDS-PAGE gels or the edge of the flat SDS-MetaPhor high-resolution agarose gels. This allows for customized operation using a single electrophoresis device at a low cost. This technique has been successfully applied to analyze various proteins, including five model proteins (BSA, factor Xa, ovotransferrin, IgG, and lysozyme), monoclonal antibodies with slightly different isoelectric points, polyclonal antibodies, and antigen-antibody complexes, as well as complex proteins such as IgM pentamer and β-galactosidase tetramer. Our protocol can be completed within a day, taking approximately 5-6 h, and can be expanded further into Western blot analysis, mass spectrometry analysis, and other analytical methods.

Abstract
For the last ten years, within molecular life sciences, the reproducibility crisis discourse has been embodied as a crisis of trust in scientific images. Beyond the contentious perception of "questionable research practices" associated with a digital turn in the production of images, this paper highlights the transformations of gel electrophoresis as a family of experimental techniques. Our aim is to analyze the evolving epistemic status of generated images and its connection with a crisis of trust in images within that field. From the 1980s to the 2000s, we identify two key innovations (precast gels and gel docs) leading to a "two-tiered" gel electrophoresis with different standardization procedures, different epistemic statuses of the produced images and different ways of generating (dis)trust in images. The first tier, exemplified by differential gel electrophoresis (DIGE), is characterized by specialized devices processing images as quantitative data. The second tier, exemplified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is described as a routine technique making use of image as qualitative "virtual witnessing." The difference between these two tiers is particularly apparent in the ways images are processed, even though both tiers involve image digitization. Our account thus highlights different views on reproducibility within the two tiers. Comparability of images is insisted upon in the first tier while traceability is expected in the second tier. It is striking that these differences occur not only within the same scientific field, but even within the same family of experimental techniques. In the second tier, digitization entails distrust, whereas it implies a collective sentiment of trust in the first tier.

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

Abstract
Proteins' molecular weight (MW) and isoelectric point (pI) are crucial for their subcellular localization and subsequent function. These are also useful in 2D gel electrophoresis, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and X-ray protein crystallography. Moreover, visualizations like a virtual 2D proteome map of pI vs. MW are worthwhile to discuss the proteome diversity among different species. Although the genome sequence data of the fungi kingdom improved enormously, the proteomic details have been poorly elaborated. Therefore, we have calculated the MW and pI of the fungi proteins and reported them in, FungiProteomeDB, an online database (DB) https://vision4research.com/fungidb/. We analyzed the proteome of 685 fungal species that contain 7 127 141 protein sequences. The DB provides an easy-to-use and efficient interface for various search options, summary statistics and virtual 2D proteome map visualizations. The MW and pI of a protein can be obtained by searching the name of a protein, a keyword or a list of accession numbers. It also allows querying protein sequences. The DB will be helpful in hypothesis formulation and in various biotechnological applications. Database URL https://vision4research.com/fungidb/.

Abstract
The gradual loss of skeletal muscle mass during aging and associated decline in contractile strength can result in reduced fitness, frailty, and loss of independence. In order to better understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie sarcopenia of old age and the frailty syndrome, as well as identify novel therapeutic targets to treat age-related fiber wasting, it is crucial to develop a comprehensive biomarker signature of muscle aging. Fluorescence two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) in combination with sensitive mass spectrometry presents an ideal bioanalytical tool for biomarker discovery in biogerontology. This chapter outlines the application of the 2D-DIGE method for the comparative analysis of human biopsy specimens from middle-aged versus senescent individuals using a two-CyDye-based method.

Abstract
In-gel digestion of protein spots derived from two-dimensional gels and their subsequent identification by mass spectrometry is involved in a multitude of mass spectrometry-driven proteomic experiments, including fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE). This type of proteomic methodology has been involved in the establishment of comparative proteome maps and in the identification of differentially expressed proteins and their isoforms in health and disease. Most in-gel digestion protocols follow a number of common steps including excision of the protein spots of interest, destaining, reduction and alkylation (for silver-stained gels), and dehydration and overnight digestion with the proteolytic enzyme of choice. While trypsin has been a mainstay of peptide digestion for many years, it does have its shortcomings, particularly related to incomplete peptide digestion, and this has led to a rise in popularity for other proteolytic enzymes either used alone or in combination. This chapter discusses the alternative enzymes available and describes the process of in-gel digestion using the enzyme trypsin.

Abstract
Fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is a key biochemical method for the comparative analysis of complex protein mixtures. The technique focuses on the identification and characterization of individual protein species following gel electrophoretic separation making it an important analytical tool of top-down proteomics. In order to verify changes in the expression levels of a particular protein, as determined by 2D-DIGE analysis, and evaluate the subcellular localization of the proteoform of interest, immunofluorescence microscopy is very well suited. This chapter describes in detail the preparation of tissue specimens and the process of cryo-sectioning, as well as incubation with primary antibodies and fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies, followed by image analysis. As illustrative examples, the co-detection of immuno-labeled dystrophin and the Y-chromosome in skeletal muscle are shown, and the localization of calbindin in the cerebellum is presented.

Abstract
The global analysis of the proteome is an important tool in cell biology. Comparative proteomic evaluations can identify and compare the composition, dynamics, and modifications between different samples. Comparing tissue proteomes under different conditions is crucial for advancing the biomedical field. Fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is a sensitive and robust biochemical method that can compare multiple protein samples over a broad dynamic range on the same analytical gel and can be used to establish differentially expressed protein profiles between different sample groups. 2D-DIGE involves fluorescently labeling protein samples with CyDye flours, via a two-dye or a three-dye system, pre-separation by isoelectric point, and molecular weight. DIGE circumvents gel-to-gel variability by multiplexing samples to a single gel and through the use of a pooled internal standard for normalization, thus enabling accurate high-resolution analysis of differences in protein abundance between samples. This chapter discusses 2D-DIGE as a comparative tissue proteomic technique and describes in detail the experimental steps required for comparative proteomic analysis employing both options of two-dye and three-dye DIGE minimal labeling.

Abstract
Two-dimensional comparative fluorescence gel electrophoresis (CoFGE) uses an internal standard to increase the reproducibility of coordinate assignment for protein spots visualized on 2D polyacrylamide gels. This is particularly important for samples that need to be compared without the availability of replicates and thus cannot be studied using differential gel electrophoresis (DIGE). CoFGE corrects for gel-to-gel variability by co-running with the sample proteome a standardized marker grid of 80-100 nodes, which is formed by a set of purified proteins. Differentiating of reference and analyte is possible by the use of two fluorescent dyes. Variations in the y-dimension (molecular weight) are corrected by the marker grid. For the optional control of the x-dimension (pI), azo-dyes can be used. Experiments are possible in both vertical and horizontal (h) electrophoresis devices, but hCoFGE is much easier to perform. The CoFGE experimental principle can additionally be used for protein quantification. For data analysis, commercial software has been adapted.

Abstract
Several years have passed since LC (liquid chromatography)-MS (mass spectrometry) became the mainstream for proteomic analysis; however, conventional fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) continues to be an important technology that enables rapid and direct visualization of hundreds to thousands of proteins and their quantitative analyses. We can get global proteomic views using 2D-DIGE within 3 days and then identify proteins with differential expression levels using MALDI-TOF/MS and MASCOT search engine. Here, we describe our routine 2D-DIGE proteomic analysis of the liver isolated from mice in pathological conditions within 1 week.

Abstract
Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is an elegant gel electrophoretic analytical tool for comparative protein assessment. It is based on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-GE) separation of fluorescently labeled protein extracts. The tagging procedures are designed to not interfere with the chemical properties of proteins with respect to their pI and electrophoretic mobility, once a proper labeling protocol is followed. The use of an internal pooled standard makes 2D-DIGE a highly accurate quantitative method enabling multiple protein samples to be separated on the same two-dimensional gel. Technical limitations of this technique (i.e., underrating of low abundant, high molecular mass and integral membrane proteins) are counterbalanced by the incomparable separation power which allows proteoforms and unknown PTM (posttranslational modification) identification. Moreover, the image matching and cross-gel statistical analysis generates robust quantitative results making data validation by independent technologies successful.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the major type of primary liver cancer. In this chapter, we describe our routine two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) workflow for analysis of mouse liver tissue in physiological conditions, as well as of mouse HCC. 2D-DIGE still constitutes a valuable comparative proteomics technique, not only providing information on global protein expression in a sample but also on potential posttranslational protein modifications, occurrence of protein degradation fragments, and the existence of protein isoforms. Thus, 2D-DIGE analysis provides highly complementary data to non-gel-based shotgun mass spectrometry (MS) methods (e.g., liquid chromatography (LC)-MS/MS)-allowing, for example, identification of novel protein biomarkers for HCC or increasing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is an acrylamide gel electrophoresis-based technique for protein separation and quantification in complex mixtures. The technique addresses some of the drawbacks of conventional 2D polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), offering improved sensitivity, more limited experimental variation, and accurate within-gel matching. 2D-DIGE is based on direct labeling of proteins with isobaric fluorescent dyes (known as CyDyes: Cy2, Cy3, and Cy5) prior to isoelectric focusing (IEF). Here, up to two samples and a reference pool (internal standard) can be mixed and loaded onto IEF for first dimension prior to SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate)-PAGE separation in the second dimension. After the electrophoretic run, the gel is imaged at the specific excitation wavelength for each dye, in sequence, and gel scans are recorded separately. For each individual protein spot, intensities recorded at the different wavelengths are integrated and the ratio between volumes normalized to that of the internal standard. This provides an immediate appreciation of protein amount variations under the different conditions tested. In addition, proteins of interest can still be excised and identified with conventional mass spectrometric techniques and further analyzed by other biochemical methods. In this chapter, we describe application of this methodology to separation and quantitation of protein mixtures from porcine muscle exudate, collected following centrifugation of muscle specimens (centrifugal drip) for the characterization of quality parameters of importance in meat industry.

Abstract
Proteins can be separated according to their size by gel electrophoresis and further analyzed by Western blotting. The proteins can be transferred to a membrane made of nitrocellulose or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which results in a replica of the protein's separation patterns. The proteins on the membrane can be detected by specific antibodies followed by visualization either on the membrane itself, on film, or by CCD cameras. Western blotting is a sensitive technique to verify data obtained from fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE)-based proteomics.

Abstract
The combination of large-scale protein separation techniques, sophisticated mass spectrometry, and systems bioinformatics has led to the establishment of proteomics as a distinct discipline within the wider field of protein biochemistry. Both discovery proteomics and targeted proteomics are widely used in biological and biomedical research, whereby the analytical approaches can be broadly divided into proteoform-centric top-down proteomics versus peptide-centric bottom-up proteomics. This chapter outlines the scientific value of top-down proteomics and describes how fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis can be combined with the systematic analysis of crucial post-translational modifications. The concept of on-membrane digestion following the electrophoretic transfer of proteins and the usefulness of comparative two-dimensional immunoblotting are discussed.

Abstract
This chapter focuses on upstream immunodepletion of high-abundance proteins from plasma samples and subsequent analysis by fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE). The abundances of proteins in biofluid proteomes, such as serum, plasma, saliva, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), can exceed ten orders of magnitude. This substantial dynamic range is problematic for the detection of medium and low-abundance proteins by 2D-DIGE analysis. To increase the detection, quantification, and identification of medium-low-abundance proteins, the targeted depletion of known abundant proteins with antibody columns has been successfully employed. From the literature, it is clear that the performance of abundant protein depletion with immunodepletion columns has been successful in broadening the coverage of the biofluid proteome and facilitating the identification of disease-specific biomarkers. The task for a successful biomarker strategy involves the combination of a reproducible and robust fractionation method, coupled with a highly accurate quantitative method, a task that is exemplified by combining both immunodepletion and 2D-DIGE together to discover significant proteins associated with the disease phenotype.

Abstract
The discovery of clinically relevant biomarkers using gel-based proteomics has proven extremely challenging, principally because of the large dynamic range of protein abundances in biofluids such as blood and the fact that only a small number of proteins constitute the vast majority of total blood protein mass. Various separation, depletion, enrichment, and quantitative developments coupled with improvements in gel-based protein quantification technologies, specifically fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), have contributed to significant improvements in the detection and identification of lower abundance proteins. One of these enrichment technologies, ProteoMiner, is the focus of this chapter. The ProteoMiner technology utilizes hexapeptide bead library with huge diversity to bind and enrich low-abundance proteins but at the same time suppresses the concentration of high-abundance proteins in subsequent analysis.

Abstract
Assays for measuring enzyme activity can be useful tools for proteomics applications. Enzyme testing can be performed to validate an experimental system prior to a difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) proteomic experiment and can also be utilized as an integral part of multifaceted experiment in conjunction with DIGE. Data from enzyme tests can be used to corroborate results of DIGE proteomic experiments where an enzyme or enzymes are demonstrated by DIGE to be differentially expressed. Enzyme testing can also be utilized to support data from DIGE experiments that demonstrate metabolic changes in a biological system. The different types of enzyme assays that can be performed in conjunction with DIGE experiments are reviewed alongside a discussion of experimental approaches for designing enzyme assays.

Abstract
Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is a high-resolution protein separation technique, with the excellent dynamic range obtained by fluorescent tag labeling of protein samples. Scanned images of 2D-DIGE gels show thousands of protein spots, each spot representing a single or a group of protein isoforms. By using commercially available software, each protein spot is defined by an outline, which is digitized and correlated with the quantity of proteins present in each spot. Software packages include DeCyder, SameSpots, and Dymension 3. In addition, proteins of interest can be excised from post-stained gels and identified with conventional mass spectrometric techniques. High-throughput mass spectrometry is performed using sophisticated instrumentation, including matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF), MALDI-TOF/TOF, and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Tandem MS (MALDI-TOF/TOF or LC-MS/MS) analyzes fragmented peptides, resulting in amino acid sequence information, which is especially useful when protein spots are low abundant or where a mixture of proteins is present.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions and multiprotein assemblies of water-soluble and membrane proteins are inherent features of the proteome, which also impart functional heterogeneity. One needs to consider this aspect while studying changes in abundance and activities of proteins in response to any physiological stimulus. Abundance changes in the components of a given proteome can be best visualized and efficiently quantified using electrophoresis-based approaches. Here, we describe the method of Blue Native Difference Gel Electrophoresis to quantify changes in abundance and activity of proteins in the context of protein-protein interactions. This method confers an additional advantage to monitor quantitative changes in membrane proteins, which otherwise is a difficult task.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based protein methodologies have revolutionized the field of analytical biochemistry and enable the identification of hundreds to thousands of proteins in biological fluids, cell lines, and tissue. This methodology requires the initial separation of a protein constellation, and this has been successfully achieved using gel-based techniques, particularly that of fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE). However, given the complexity of the proteome, fractionation techniques may be required to optimize the detection of low-abundance proteins, which are often underrepresented but which may represent important players in health and disease. Such subcellular fractionation protocols typically utilize density-gradient centrifugation and have enabled the enrichment of crude microsomes, the cytosol, the plasmalemma, the nuclei, and the mitochondria. In this chapter, we describe the experimental steps involved in the enrichment of crude microsomes from the skeletal muscle using differential centrifugation and subsequent verification of enrichment by gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting, prior to comparative 2D-DIGE analysis.

Abstract
Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) continues to be one of the most versatile and widely used techniques to study the proteome of a biological system, particularly in the separation of intact proteins. A modified version of 2D-PAGE, two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), which uses differential labeling of protein samples with up to three fluorescent tags, offers greater sensitivity and reproducibility over conventional 2D-PAGE gels for differential quantitative analysis of protein expression between experimental groups. Both these methods have distinct advantages in the separation and identification of thousands of individual protein species including protein isoforms and post-translational modifications. This chapter discusses the principles of 2D-PAGE and 2D-DIGE including limitations to the methods. 2D-PAGE and 2D-DIGE continue to be popular methods in bioprocessing-related research, particularly on recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cells, which are also discussed in this chapter.

Abstract
The skeletal muscle proteome consists of a large number of diverse protein species with a broad and dynamic concentration range. Since mature skeletal muscles are characterized by a distinctive combination of contractile cells with differing physiological and biochemical properties, it is essential to determine specific differences in the protein composition of fast, slow, and hybrid fibers. Fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is a powerful comparative tool to analyze fiber type-specific differences between predominantly fast contracting versus slower twitching muscles. In this chapter, the application of the 2D-DIGE method for the comparative analysis of different subtypes of skeletal muscles is outlined in detail. A standardized proteomic workflow is described, involving sample preparation, protein extraction, differential fluorescence labeling using a 3-CyDye system, first-dimension isoelectric focusing, second-dimension slab gel electrophoresis, 2D-DIGE image analysis, protein digestion, and mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) appears to be especially useful in quantitative approaches, allowing the co-separation of proteins of control samples and proteins of treated/disease samples on the same gel, eliminating gel-to-gel variability. The principle of 2D-DIGE is to label proteins prior to isoelectric focusing and use three spectrally resolvable fluorescent dyes, allowing the independent labeling of control and experimental samples. This procedure makes it possible to reduce the number of gels in an experiment, allowing the accurate and reproducible quantification of multiple samples. 2D-DIGE has been found to be an excellent methodical tool in several areas of fish research, including environmental pollution and toxicology, the mechanisms of development and disorders, reproduction, nutrition, evolution, and ecology.

Abstract
Fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is a widely employed method for efficient protein separation and the determination of abundance changes in distinct proteoforms. This makes this gel-based method a key technique of comparative approaches in top-down proteomics. For the appropriate screening of proteome-wide alterations, initial preparative steps involve sample handling, homogenization, subcellular fractionation, and the determination of protein concentration, which makes the optimal application of these techniques a crucial part of a successful initiation of a new 2D-DIGE-based analysis. This chapter describes sample homogenization and a standardized protein assay for the preparation of homogenates with a known protein concentration for subsequent differential fluorescent tagging and two-dimensional gel electrophoretic separation.

Abstract
Cancer of blood or bone marrow-derived cells dysregulates normal hematopoiesis and accounts for over 6% of all cancer cases annually. Proteomic analyses of blood cancers have improved our understanding of disease mechanisms and identified numerous proteins of clinical relevance. For many years, gel-based proteomic studies have aided in the discovery of novel diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers, as well as therapeutic targets, in various diseases, including blood cancer. Fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) facilitates comparative proteomic research to identify differential protein expression in a simple and reproducible manner. The versatility of 2D-DIGE as a quantitative proteomic technique has provided insight into various aspects of blood cancer pathology, including disease development, prognostic subtypes, and drug resistance. The ability to couple 2D-DIGE with additional downstream mass spectrometry-based techniques yields comprehensive workflows capable of identifying proteins of biological and clinical significance. The application of 2D-DIGE in blood cancer research has significantly contributed to the increasingly important initiative of precision medicine. This chapter will focus on the influential role of 2D-DIGE as a tool in blood cancer research.

Abstract
Epichaperomes are disease-associated pathologic scaffolds, composed of tightly bound chaperones, co-chaperones, and other factors. They mediate anomalous protein-protein interactions inside cells, which aberrantly affects the function of protein networks, and in turn, cellular phenotypes. Epichaperome study necessitates the implementation of methods that retain these protein complexes in their native cellular states for analysis. Here we describe a protocol for detection and composition analysis of epichaperomes in cell homogenates through native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Abstract
Here, we describe a detailed step-by-step protocol for the detection of phosphoproteins in two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) gels. A standard 2D-DIGE protocol is combined with subsequent post-staining with phosphospecific fluorescent dye. The combination of these two methods complements 2D-DIGE-based proteome profiling by fluorescence detection of phosphoproteins in the same gel providing additional possibility for sensitive and accurate quantification of the differentially regulated phosphoproteins in biological samples.

Abstract
The use of tumor markers aids in the early detection of cancer recurrence and prognosis. There is a hope that they might also be useful in screening tests for the early detection of cancer. Here, the question of finding ideal tumor markers, which should be sensitive, specific, and reliable, is an acute issue. Human plasma is one of the most popular samples as it is commonly collected in the clinic and provides noninvasive, rapid analysis for any type of disease including cancer. Many efforts have been applied in searching for “ideal” tumor markers, digging very deep into plasma proteomes. The situation in this area can be improved in two ways—by attempting to find an ideal single tumor marker or by generating panels of different markers. In both cases, proteomics certainly plays a major role. There is a line of evidence that the most abundant, so-called “classical plasma proteins”, may be used to generate a tumor biomarker profile. To be comprehensive these profiles should have information not only about protein levels but also proteoform distribution for each protein. Initially, the profile of these proteins in norm should be generated. In our work, we collected bibliographic information about the connection of cancers with levels of “classical plasma proteins”. Additionally, we presented the proteoform profiles (2DE patterns) of these proteins in norm generated by two-dimensional electrophoresis with mass spectrometry and immunodetection. As a next step, similar profiles representing protein perturbations in plasma produced in the case of different cancers will be generated. Additionally, based on this information, different test systems can be developed.

Abstract
Aging induces pathological cardiovascular changes such as cardiac dysfunction and arteriosclerosis. With aging, heart cells, especially, become more susceptible to lethal damage. In this report, we tried to understand the precise mechanism of myocardial change resulting from aging by examining the heart proteome in aging mice using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE). The proteins were stained with fluorescence dyes (SYPRO Ruby and Pro-Q Diamond) and identified by subsequent MALDI-TOF-MS / MS. As a result, markedly altered levels of 14 proteins and 7 phosphoproteins were detected in the hearts of 3-, 7-, 11-, and 20-month-old mice. The functions of these identified proteins and phosphoproteins were energy metabolism, muscle contraction, glycolysis, and cytoskeletal support. Additionally, the results of Western blotting confirmed changes in the expression of FTH, CPNE5, and SUCLA2. These findings showed that aging modified the expression of proteins and phosphoproteins in the heart. We suggest that changes in the expression of these proteins are critical to the development of cardiac dysfunction resulting from aging. J. Med. Invest. 69 : 217-223, August, 2022.

Abstract
The low-molecular weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) composition of wheat (Triticum aestivum) flour has important effects on end-use quality. However, assessing the contributions of each LMW-GS to flour quality remains challenging because of the complex LMW-GS composition and allelic variation among wheat cultivars. Therefore, accurate and reliable determination of LMW-GS alleles in germplasm remains an important challenge for wheat breeding. In this study, we used an optimized reversed-phase HPLC method and proteomics approach comprising 2-D gels coupled with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to discriminate individual LMW-GSs corresponding to alleles encoded by the Glu-A3, Glu-B3, and Glu-D3 loci in the ‘Aroona’ cultivar and 12 ‘Aroona’ near-isogenic lines (ARILs), which contain unique LMW-GS alleles in the same genetic background. The LMW-GS separation patterns for ‘Aroona’ and ARILs on chromatograms and 2-D gels were consistent with those from a set of 10 standard wheat cultivars for Glu-3. Furthermore, 12 previously uncharacterized spots in ‘Aroona’ and ARILs were excised from 2-D gels, digested with chymotrypsin, and subjected to MS/MS. We identified their gene haplotypes and created a 2-D gel map of LMW-GS alleles in the germplasm for breeding and screening for desirable LMW-GS alleles for wheat quality improvement.

Abstract
Nitrotyrosine formation is caused by presence of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Nitration is a very selective process leading to specific modification of only a few tyrosines in protein molecule. 2D electrophoresis and western blotting techniques coupled with mass spectrometry are common methods used in analysis of proteome. Here we describe protocol for analysis of peroxynitrite-induced protein nitration in isolated mitochondria. Mitochondrial proteins are separated by 2D electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes are then incubated with antibodies against nitrotyrosine. Positive spots are compared with corresponding Coomassie-stained gels, and protein nitration is confirmed with mass spectrometry techniques.

Abstract
Blue-native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) is a technique optimized for the analysis of the five components of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. BN-PAGE is based on the preservation of the interactions between the individual subunits within the integral complexes. To achieve this, the complexes are extracted from the mitochondrial inner membrane using mild detergents and separated by electrophoresis in the absence of denaturing agents. The electrophoretic procedures can then be combined with a variety of downstream detection techniques. Since its development in the 1990s, BN-PAGE has been applied in the study of mitochondria from all kinds of organisms and extensive amounts of data have been produced using this technique, being key for the understanding of many aspects of OXPHOS physiopathology.

Abstract
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-GE) is an indispensable technique for the study of proteomes of biological systems, providing an assessment of changes in protein abundance under various experimental conditions. However, due to the complexity of 2D-GE gels, there is no systematic, automatic, and reproducible protocol for image analysis and specific implementations are required for each context. In addition, practically all available solutions are commercial, which implies high cost and little flexibility to modulate the parameters of the algorithms. Using the bacterial strain, Pseudomonas aeruginosaAG1 as a model, we obtained images from 2D-GE of periplasmic protein profiles when the strain was exposed to multiple conditions, including antibiotics. Then, we proceeded to implement and evaluate an image analysis protocol with open-source software, CellProfiler. First, a preprocessing step included a bUnwarpJ-Image pipeline for aligning 2D-GE images. Then, using CellProfiler, we standardized two pipelines for spots identification. Total spots recognition was achieved using segmentation by intensity, whose performance was evaluated when compared with a reference protocol. In a second pipeline with the same program, differential identification of spots was addressed when comparing pairs of protein profiles. Due to the characteristics of the programs used, our workflow can automatically analyze a large number of images and it is parallelizable, which is an advantage with respect to other implementations. Finally, we compared six experimental conditions of bacterial strain in the presence or absence of antibiotics, determining protein profiles relationships by applying clustering algorithms PCA (Principal Components Analysis) and HC (Hierarchical Clustering).

Abstract
Handling chemicals that require specific safety precautions and protections generates the need for hazardous waste removal and transportation costs. With the growing effort to reduce both cost per analysis and the environmental footprint of research, we report an effective alternative to the widely used methanol/acetic acid gel fixation solution. 1.0 M citric acid dissolved in 5% acetic acid (C3A) provides comparable results following both SDS-PAGE and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, while also eliminating waste removal costs.

Abstract
Three proteins induced by salicylic acid were revealed in pea roots. These proteins were identified as chitinase isozymes belonging to the glycoside hydrolases family 18. The PsCam050724 transcript encoding at least one of these isoforms was found, allowing us to determine its primary structure, which lacks the signal peptide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DGE) is a commonly used tool for proteomic analysis. This gel-based technique separates proteins in a sample according to their isoelectric point and molecular weight. 2-DGE images often present anomalies due to the acquisition process, such as: diffuse and overlapping spots, and background noise. This study proposes a joint pre-processing framework that combines the capabilities of nonlinear filtering, background correction and image normalization techniques for pre-processing 2-DGE images. Among the most important, joint nonlinear diffusion filtering, adaptive piecewise histogram equalization and multilevel thresholding were evaluated using both synthetic data and real 2-DGE images. RESULTS An improvement of up to 46% in spot detection efficiency was achieved for synthetic data using the proposed framework compared to implementing a single technique of either normalization, background correction or filtering. Additionally, the proposed framework increased the detection of low abundance spots by 20% for synthetic data compared to a normalization technique, and increased the background estimation by 67% compared to a background correction technique. In terms of real data, the joint pre-processing framework reduced the false positives up to 93%. CONCLUSIONS The proposed joint pre-processing framework outperforms results achieved with a single approach. The best structure was obtained with the ordered combination of adaptive piecewise histogram equalization for image normalization, geometric nonlinear diffusion (GNDF) for filtering, and multilevel thresholding for background correction.

Abstract
One of the major goals of the Chromosome-Centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP) is to catalog and annotate a myriad of heterogeneous proteoforms, produced by ca. 20 thousand genes. To achieve a detailed and personalized understanding into proteomes, we suggest using a customized RNA-seq library of potential proteoforms, which includes aberrant variants specific to certain biological samples. Two-dimensional electrophoresis coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography allowed us to downgrade the difficulty of biological mixing following shotgun mass spectrometry. To benchmark the proposed pipeline, we examined heterogeneity of the HepG2 hepatoblastoma cell line proteome. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD018450.

Abstract
The Placenta, like every tissue, possesses its own characteristic protein profile, which may change within the course of pregnancy. These changes can be used for the elucidation of the mechanisms related to both physiology of pregnancy and pathological events. The aim of the study was to describe proteinergic profiles of maternal and fetal parts of bovine placenta during early-mid pregnancy by the use of 2D electrophoresis and MALDI TOF/TOF MS identification to evaluate dynamics of the possible changes necessary for placentation. Placental samples were collected from six pregnant cows (3-5 months) in the local abattoir. Placentomes were separated, and proteins were extracted and subjected to 2D electrophoresis and MALDI TOF/TOF identification. Out of 907 spots identified by the statistical analysis of gels, 54 were identified. Out of this number, 36 spots were significantly different between examined samples. Moreover, the obtained patterns differed between maternal and fetal parts of the placenta with regard to the intensity of staining, suggesting quantitative differences in protein content. These preliminary results are unique for this period of pregnancy. Such data are important for further experiments to obtain full protein profiles necessary to understand biochemical mechanisms underlying the attachment between fetal and maternal parts of the placenta during placentation. Moreover, the outcomes may help in elucidating pregnancy biomarkers in the future.

Abstract
The cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) has recently been devised as a label-free method for target validation of small compounds and monitoring the thermal stabilization or destabilization of proteins due to binding with the compound. Herein, we developed a modified method by combining the CETSA and proteomics analysis based on 2D gel electrophoresis, namely 2DE-CETSA, to identify the thermal stability-shifted proteins by binding with a new compound. We applied the 2DE-CETSA for analysis of a target-unknown compound, NPD10084, which exerts anti-proliferative activity against colorectal cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, and identified pyruvate kinase muscle isoform 2 (PKM2) as a candidate target protein. Interestingly, NPD10084 interrupted protein-protein interactions between PKM2 and β-catenin or STAT3, with subsequent suppression of downstream signaling. We thus demonstrate that our 2DE-CETSA method is applicable for identification of target compounds discovered by phenotypic screening.

Abstract
Shotgun proteomics allows for the comprehensive analysis of proteins extracted from plant cells, subcellular organelles, and membranes. Previously, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis-based proteomics was used for mass spectrometric analysis of plasma membrane proteins. However, this method is not fully applicable for highly hydrophobic proteins with multiple transmembrane domains. In order to solve this problem, we here describe a shotgun proteomics method using nano-LC-MS/MS for proteins in the plasma membrane and plasma membrane microdomain fractions. The results obtained are easily applicable to label-free protein semiquantification.

Abstract
This chapter describes the application of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in the analysis of rat eye lens proteins. The main purpose was to identify proteins that may serve as potential biomarkers in age-related cataract formation. This includes the family of proteins known as the crystallins. Structural proteins and enzymes involved antioxidant activities. In addition, we also analyzed lenses from other species to illustrate the potential of using this technique in clinical and preclinical biomarker studies.

Abstract
Understanding molecular mechanisms and cellular metabolism in varied plant processes necessitates knowledge of the expressed proteins and their subcellular distribution. Spatial partitioning of organelles generates an enclosed milieu for physiochemical reactions designed and tightly linked to a specific organelle function. Of which, extracellular matrix (ECM)/cell wall (CW) is a dynamic and chemically active compartment. The ECM proteins are organized into complex structural and functional networks involved in several metabolic processes, including carbon and nitrogen metabolism. Organellar proteomics aim for comprehensive identification of resident proteins that rely on the isolation of highly purified organelle free from contamination by other intracellular components. Extraction and isolation of plant ECM proteins features key caveats due to the lack of adjoining membrane, the presence of a polysaccharide-protein network that traps contaminants, and the existence of high phenolic content. Furthermore, due to diverse biochemical forces, including labile, weakly bound and strongly bound protein in the protein-polysaccharide matrix different elution procedures are required to enrich ECM proteins. Here, we describe a method that allows efficient fractionation of plant ECM, extraction of ECM proteins and protein profiling from variety of crop plants, including rice, chickpea and potato. This method can easily be adapted to other plant species for varied experimental conditions.

Abstract
Expression proteomics approaches do not only directly confirm protein coding genes of sequenced genomes but also facilitate resolution of minute qualitative protein differences and improve the quality of genome annotation. Despite development of many tools, use of 2-DE coupled with MS in proteomics is not uncommon. With an accelerated trend of genome sequencing of microorganisms, proteome analysis of animal pathogens with 2-DE has gained more attention in the last decade. Therefore, in this study primarily the protein extraction, sample preparation and loading, IPG strip rehydration, IEF, and SDS-PAGE conditions were improved for high throughput resolution and reproducible 2-DE map of proteins of Mycoplasma bovis HB0801 (M. bovis HB0801- Chinese Strain), a pneumonia pathogen in feedlot cattle, and its attenuated strains. Literally, higher amount of proteins was extracted exploiting the French pressure cell coupled with TCA precipitation when compared to the sonication method. Total protein concentration was determined using a 2D quant Kit. About 330-380 μg TCA treated protein sample, solubilized in calibrated rehydration solution, loaded on 17 cm IPG gel strip (pH 3-10 NL) followed by active rehydration at 50V and isoelectric focusing at final 10 000 Volt (33 uA/gel strip) for 80kVh had revealed well resolved proteins spots on 10% gel stained by CBB R250 (0.15%), representing 83-89% of the total protein coding genes of M. bovis HB0801, estimated by PD Quest (Bio-Rad, USA). Conclusively, this effort attempted to provide more precise 2-DE platform and suitable conditions, after extensive calibration, for future comprehensive proteome and immunoproteome analyses and future research on the elucidation of factors related to pathogenesis of M. bovis in cattle.

Abstract
Background: Aloe barbadensis Miller 1768, A. vera L. var. chinensis (Haw.) Berger 1908, A. ferox Miller 1768, and A. arborescens Miller 1768 are the most widely cultivated species of Aloe and are used in Asia along with 400 other Aloe species worldwide because of their potent and potential bioactivity. Objective: The objective was to analyze and compare the soluble proteins of four commonly used medicinal Aloe species. Methods: Aloe protein samples were obtained by TCA/acetone-saturated phenol-methanol/ammonium acetate combined extraction (phenol extraction), and then were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Finally, the differentially expressed proteins of four Aloe species were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight-MS analysis. Results: The phenol extraction method was the most suitable method for the protein extraction of Aloe. Fifty differentially expressed proteins in four Aloe species were successfully identified and divided into eight functional categories. Furthermore, Malate dehydrogenase and ran-binding protein in A. barbadensis, cytoskeletal-related protein tubulin in A. vera var. chinensis and auxin-induced protein PCNT-115 in A. arborescens are closely related to their morphological characteristics. Conclusions: There are differences in the soluble proteins of the four Aloe species. Those proteins, related to the difference of their morphology of Aloe, might be used to identify different species. Highlights: Fifty differentially expressed proteins in four medicinal Aloe species were identified, and these proteins were classified into eight categories according to their biological functions. Four special proteins closely related to the morphological characteristics of Aloe were found and might be used to identify these four Aloe species.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most-common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Most cases of HCC develop in patients that already have liver cirrhosis and have been recommended for surveillance for an early onset of HCC. Cirrhosis is the final common pathway for several etiologies of liver disease, including hepatitis B and C, alcohol, and increasingly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Only 20-30% of patients with HCC are eligible for curative therapy due primarily to inadequate early-detection strategies. Reliable, accurate biomarkers for HCC early detection provide the highest likelihood of curative therapy and survival; however, current early-detection methods that use abdominal ultrasound and serum alpha fetoprotein are inadequate due to poor adherence and limited sensitivity and specificity. There is an urgent need for convenient and highly accurate validated biomarkers for HCC early detection. The theme of this review is the development of new methods to discover glycoprotein-based markers for detection of HCC with mass spectrometry approaches. We outline the non-mass spectrometry based methods that have been used to discover HCC markers including immunoassays, capillary electrophoresis, 2-D gel electrophoresis, and lectin-FLISA assays. We describe the development and results of mass spectrometry-based assays for glycan screening based on either MALDI-MS or ESI analysis. These analyses might be based on the glycan content of serum or on glycan screening for target molecules from serum. We describe some of the specific markers that have been developed as a result, including for proteins such as Haptoglobin, Hemopexin, Kininogen, and others. We discuss the potential role for other technologies, including PGC chromatography and ion mobility, to separate isoforms of glycan markers. Analyses of glycopeptides based on new technologies and innovative softwares are described and also their potential role in discovery of markers of HCC. These technologies include new fragmentation methods such as EThcD and stepped HCD, which can identify large numbers of glycopeptide structures from serum. The key role of lectin extraction in various assays for intact glycopeptides or their truncated versions is also described, where various core-fucosylated and hyperfucosylated glycopeptides have been identified as potential markers of HCC. Finally, we describe the role of LC-MRMs or lectin-FLISA MRMs as a means to validate these glycoprotein markers from patient samples. These technological advancements in mass spectrometry have the potential to lead to novel biomarkers to improve the early detection of HCC.
