Analysis of human plasma proteome by 2DE- and 2D nanoLC-based mass spectrometry.

We compared the 2DE coupled to MALDI-TOF-MS and ESI-MS/MS analysis (2DE-MS) and the on-line 2D nanoLC, followed by nanoESI-MS/MS analysis (2DLC-MS), for the separation and identification of proteins in high abundance protein-depleted human plasma. Identification of proteins in the plasma by the two methods demonstrated that the majority of the identified protein set was unique to each method. Therefore, if a comprehensive coverage of the proteome identification is desired, it is ideal to apply both methods. The 2DE-MS method is amenable to protein spot-based quantitation, whereas the 2DLC-MS method may provide an advantage of the high throughput application.

Effect of ionizing radiation on rat tissue: proteomic and biochemical analysis.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated by ionizing radiation, has been implicated in its effect on living tissues. We confirmed the changes in the oxidative stress markers upon irradiation. We characterized the changes in the proteome profile in rat liver after administering irradiation, and the affected proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS and ESI-MS/MS. The identified proteins represent diverse sets of proteins participating in the cellular metabolism. Our results demonstrated that proteomics analysis is a useful method for characterization of a global proteome change caused by ionizing radiation to unravel the molecular mechanisms involved in the cellular responses to ionizing radiation.

Neural network-based analysis of thiol proteomics data in identifying potential selenium targets.

Generation of a monomethylated selenium metabolite is critical for the anticancer activity of selenium. Because of its strong nucleophilicity, the metabolite can react directly with protein thiols to cause redox modification. Here, we report a neural network-based analysis to identify potential selenium targets. A reactive thiol specific reagent, BIAM, was used to monitor thiol proteome changes on 2D gel. We constructed a dynamic model and evaluated the relative importance of proteins mediating the cellular responses to selenium. Information from this study will provide new clues to unravel mechanisms of anticancer action of selenium. High impact selenium targets could also serve as biomarkers to gauge the efficacy of selenium chemoprevention.

Analysis of protein redox modification by hypoxia.

We examined hypoxia-induced changes in global thiol proteome profile in human prostate cancer cells using a BIAM-based display method. We analyzed the kinetics of protein thiol modification by using a pattern recognition algorithm, self-organizing maps (SOM) clustering, and identified the BIAM-labeled proteins by MALDI-TOF and ESI-tandem mass spectrometry. We found 99 out of 215 of total BIAM-labeled proteins were affected by hypoxia treatment and, yet, with diverse patterns and kinetics of redox modification. Our study proved that proteomics analysis employing the BIAM-labeling method can provide valuable information pertaining to global changes in the redox status of proteins in response to hypoxia.
