Протеомическая характеристика Спинала Корда Майлина в мыше.

Протеом миелина является важнейшим структурным и функциональным компонентом центральной нервной системы (ЦНС), которая подвергается динамической реконструкции на протяжении всей жизни. Патологические изменения, такие как многочисленные склерозы, нарушают целостность миелин и приводят к серьезным неврологическим расстройствам. Таким образом, для мониторинга изменений в моделях болезней необходимо установить воспроизводимый базовый уровень протеома CNS mielin. Здесь мы представляем полный набор протеомических данных очищенного спинного мозга миелин от здоровых мышей. Миелиновые фракции были изол

Proteomic dissection of vanishing white matter pathogenesis.

Vanishing white matter (VWM) is a leukodystrophy caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B. To date, it remains unclear which factors contribute to VWM pathogenesis. Here, we investigated the basis of VWM pathogenesis using the 2b5ho mouse model. We first mapped the temporal proteome in the cerebellum, corpus callosum, cortex, and brainstem of 2b5ho and wild-type (WT) mice. Protein changes observed in 2b5ho mice were then cross-referenced with published proteomic datasets from VWM patient brain tissue to define alterations relevant to the human dise

Salivary proteomic signatures in severe dental fluorosis.

The relationship between dental fluorosis and alterations in the salivary proteome remains inadequately elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the salivary proteome and fluoride concentrations in urine and drinking water among Thai individuals afflicted with severe dental fluorosis. Thirty-seven Thai schoolchildren, aged 6-16, were stratified based on Thylstrup and Fejerskov fluorosis index scores: 10 with scores ranging from 5 to 9 (SF) and 27 with a score of 0 (NF). Urinary and water fluoride levels were determined using an ion-selective fluoride electrode. Salivary proteomic profiling

Proteomic Signature of BMI and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease.

BACKGROUND: Obesity, defined by body mass index (BMI) alone, is a metabolically heterogeneous disorder with distinct cardiovascular manifestations across individuals. This study aimed to investigate the associations of a proteomic signature of BMI with risk of major subtypes of cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS: A total of 40 089 participants from UK Biobank, free of CVD at baseline, had complete data on proteomic data measured by the Olink assay. A BMI-proteomic score (pro-BMI score) was calculated from 67 pre-identified plasma proteins associated with BMI. RESULTS: A higher pro-BMI sco

Proteomic profiling of eIF3a conditional knockout mice.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit A (eIF3a) is the largest subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3). eIF3a plays an integral role in protein biosynthesis, hence impacting the onset, development, and treatment of tumors. The proteins regulated by eIF3a are still being explored in vivo. In this study, a Cre-loxP system was used to generate eIF3a conditional knockout mice. Tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling with LC-MS/MS analysis was used to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in fat, lungs, skin, and spleen tissue of the eIF3a knockout mice and

Tissue expression analysis of cervical mucus proteome.

Cervical mucus is a viscous fluid functioning as a cervix plug. Products of the endometrial and cervical glands can be detected in the cervical mucus. Cervical mucus is further enriched with transudate originating from the fallopian tubes and proteins originating from the ovaries, peritoneum and distant tissues. With increasing levels of ovarian estrogens, the properties of cervical mucus for possible collection and processing change appropriately. For these reasons, we chose a group of 10 patients treated in the center of assisted reproduction by controlled ovarian stimulation for in vitro fe

Mouse Choroid Proteome Revisited: Focus on Aging.

Age is a major risk factor for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and age has a role in the disease phenotypes of heritable macular dystrophies. The proteomes of C57Bl6/J mouse choroids at 2 ages were analyzed to identify biochemical processes affected by aging. Proteins of interest were identified as those contributing most to the variance in principal component analysis and those showing the largest significant differences between ages. These proteins implicated altered ECM composition, immune system function, and lipid metabolism.

Proteome Profiling of the Dystrophic mdx Mice Diaphragm.

Mdx mice with a spontaneous mutation in exon 23 of the Dmd gene represent the most common model to investigate the pathophysiology of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The disease, caused by the lack of functional dystrophin, is characterized by irreversible impairment of muscle functions, with the diaphragm affected earlier and more severely than other skeletal muscles. We applied a label-free (LF) method and the more thorough tandem mass tag (TMT)-based method to analyze differentially expressed proteins in the diaphragm of 6-week-old mdx mice. The comparison of both methods revealed 88 com

Serum proteomic biomarkers diagnostic of knee osteoarthritis.

OBJECTIVE: To better understand the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis (OA) through identification of serum diagnostics. DESIGN: We conducted multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry analysis of 107 peptides in baseline sera of two cohorts: the Foundation for National Institutes of Health (NIH) (n = 596 Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade 1-3 knee OA participants); and the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project (n = 127 multi-joint controls free of radiographic OA of the hands, hips, knees (bilateral KL=0), and spine). Data were split into (70%) training and (30%) testing sets. Diagnostic pep

Investigating the aggregation perspective of Dengue virus proteome.

Dengue viruses are human pathogens that are transmitted through mosquitoes. Apart from the typical symptoms associated with viral fevers, DENV infections are known to cause several neurological complications such as meningitis, encephalitis, intracranial haemorrhage, retinopathies along with the more severe, and sometimes fatal, vascular leakage and dengue shock syndrome. This study was designed to investigate, in detail, the predicted viral protein aggregation prone regions among all serotypes. Further, in order to understand the cross-talk between viral protein aggregation and aggregation of

The Proteome of Neuromelanin Granules in Dementia with Lewy Bodies.

Neuromelanin granules (NMGs) are organelle-like structures present in the human substantia nigra pars compacta. In addition to neuromelanin, NMGs contain proteins, lipids and metals. As NMG-containing dopaminergic neurons are preferentially lost in Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), it is assumed that NMGs may play a role in neurodegenerative processes. Until now, this role is not completely understood and needs further investigation. We therefore set up an exploratory proteomic study to identify differences in the proteomic profile of NMGs from DLB patients (n = 5) compa

Proteomic Characterization of PAMs with PRRSV-ADE Infection.

The antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) effect of a PRRSV infection is that the preexisting sub- or non-neutralizing antibodies specific against PRRSV can facilitate the virus entry and replication, and it is likely to be a great obstacle for the selection of immune strategies and the development of high-efficiency PRRSV vaccines. However, the proteomic characterization of primary alveolar macrophages (PAMs) with a PRRSV-ADE infection has not yet been investigated so far. Therefore, we performed a tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomic analysis of PAMs with a PRRSV-ADE infection i

Effect of Praziquantel on Schistosoma mekongi Proteome and Phosphoproteome.

Schistosoma mekongi causes schistosomiasis in southeast Asia, against which praziquantel (PZQ) is the only treatment option. PZQ resistance has been reported, thus increasing the requirement to understand mechanism of PZQ. Herein, this study aimed to assess differences in proteome and phosphoproteome of S. mekongi after PZQ treatment for elucidating its action. Furthermore, key kinases related to PZQ effects were predicted to identify alternative targets for novel drug development. Proteomes of S. mekongi were profiled after PZQ treatment at half maximal inhibitory concentration and compared w

Proteomic Analysis of Schistosoma mansoni Tegumental Proteins.

The tegument (outer surface) of Schistosoma mansoni and other trematodes is in intimate contact with the host and plays an important role in host-parasite interactions. It is a complex structure that contains hundreds of proteins implicated in a variety of functions, although, so far, only a few proteins have been well characterized. Indeed, a few of these proteins have been shown to be effective vaccine and diagnostic candidates against S. mansoni and other schistosomes, and so the proteomic characterization of tegumental molecules could open new avenues for the development of novel control a

Proteomic Analysis of Complement Proteins in Membranous Nephropathy.

INTRODUCTION: Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in Caucasian adults. Phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)- and exostosin 1 (EXT1)/exostosin 2 (EXT2)-associated MN represent the most common primary and secondary forms of MN. The complement profile using a proteomics approach has not been studied in these 2 common forms of MN. METHODS: We used laser microdissection and mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to dissect glomeruli and identify glomerular complement proteins in PLA2R-associated (n = 7), EXT1/EXT2-associated MN (n = 21), and 11 control cases (time 0 transpla…
