We employed human SK-MEL-28 cells as a model system to identify cellular proteins that accompany N-(4-methyl)phenyl-O-(4-methoxy)phenyl-thionocarbamate (MMTC)-induced apoptosis based on a proteomic approach. Cell viability tests revealed that SK-MEL-28 skin cancer cells underwent more cell death than normal HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner after treatment with MMTC. Two-dimensional electrophoresis in conjunction with matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry analysis or computer matching with a protein database further revealed that the MMTC-induced apoptosis is accompanied by increased levels of caspase-1, checkpoint suppressor-1, caspase-4, NF-kB inhibitor, AP-2, c-Jun-N-terminal kinase, melanoma inhibitor, granzyme K, G1/S specific cyclin D3, cystein rich protein, Ras-related protein Rab-37 or Ras-related protein Rab-13, and reduced levels of EMS (oncogene), ATP synthase, tyrosine-phosphatase, Cdc25c, 14-3-3 protein or specific structure of nuclear receptor. The migration suppressing effect of MMTC on SK-MEL-28 cell was tested. MMTC suppressed the metastasis of SK-MEL-8 cells. It was also identified that MMTC had little angiogenic effect because it did not suppress the proliferation of HUVEC cell line. These results suggest that MMTC is a novel chemotherapeutic and metastatic agents against the SK-MEL-28 human melanoma cell line.

목적:. 방사선 감수성이 다른 마우스 조직에서 apoptosis 유도 수준을 확인하고 방사선 감수성에 관여 된 인자를 Proteomics를 통해서 확인한다. 대상 및 방법: C3H/HeJ 마우스에 10 Gy 방사선을 조사하고 8시간 후 비장과 간을 채취하여 apoptosis 유도 수준을 비교 분석하였다. 조직에서 단백질을 추출하여 2-dimension electrophoresis (2-DE)를 실시하였다. 2-DE에서 방사선에 의해 발현의 변화를 보이는 gel의 spot를 trypsin 처리하여 MALDI-TOF 측정한 후 Swiss-prot database를 통하여 단백질 을 동정하였다. 결과: Apoptosls index는 방사선 조사 후 비장 조직에서 $35.3{\pm}1.7{\%}$, 간조직은 $0.6{\pm}0.2{\%}$로 비장에 비해 간 조직이 낮게 나타났다. Proteomoics 결과에서 방사선 내성 조직인 간은 ROS대사에 관여되는 단백질인 glutathione Stransferase Pi, carbonic anhydrase, NADH dehydrogenase, peroxiredoxin VI, riken cDNA 등이 방사선 조사 후 증가되었고 apoptosis 관련된 단백질인 cytochrome c는 간과 비장 조직에서 확인되었다. 그러나 방사선 민감 조직인 비장에서는 방사선 조사 후 산화적 Stress에 관련된 단백질, apoptosis 관련 단백질, 신호 전달에 관련된 단백질, 면역반응, cell cycle, Ca 신호 전달, 대사 cycle에 관련된 단백질 등이 방사선에 관련하여 발현의 변화를 보여 주었다. 결론 : Apoptosis유도 수준이 다른 조직에서 apoptosis에 관련된 단백질과 redox에 관련된 단백질은 방사성 감수성 조절에 관련된 것으로 보인다.

탄저 치사독소는 생쥐 대식세포 (RAW 264.7)의 유전자 발현에 많은 변화를 초래한다. 이들 변화를 초래하는 치사독소의 역할은 아직 확실하게 밝혀지지 ???았다. 본 연구에서는, 치사독소가 처리된 생쥐 대식세포의 단백질 프로파일을 이차원 전기영동으로 분석하였고, MALDI-TOF 질량분석기를 사용하여 해당 단백질의 질량을 측정하였다. 펩타이드 질량 분석 데이터는 ProFound 데이터베이스를 이용하여 동정하였다. 차별화되어 발현된 단백질 중에서 절단된 mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (Mek1)와 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)가 치사독소 처리된 대식세포에서 각각 증가하였다. 치사독소를 처리하였을 경우, Mek1의 절단은 신호전달과정을 방해하고, 증가된 G6PD는 생성된 활성산소로부터 세포를 보호하는 역할을 하는 것으로 보인다. 단백질체 분석기술은 치사독소처리에 의한 생쥐 대식세포의 세포사멸 관련 단백질을 동정하는데 도움을 주어, 치사독소의 잠정적인 기질을 찾는데 유용할 것이다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to establish a mother and child cohort in the Chinese population, and investigate human breastmilk (HBM) composition and its relationship with maternal body mass index (BMI) and infant growth during the first 3 mon of life. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 101 Chinese mother and infant pairs were included in this prospective cohort. Alterations in the milk macronutrients of Chinese mothers at 1 mon (T1), 2 mon (T2), and 3 mon (T3) lactation were analyzed. HBM fatty acid (FA) profiles were measured by gas chromatography (GC), and HBM proteomic profiling was achieved by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). RESULTS: During the first 3 mon of lactation (P < 0.05), significant decreases were determined in the levels of total energy, fat, protein, and osteopontin (OPN), as well as ratios of long-chain saturated FA (including C16:0, C22:0 and C24:0), monounsaturated FA (including C16:1), and n-6 poly unsaturated FA (PUFA) (including C20:3n-6 and C20:4n-6, and n-6/n-3). Conversely, butyrate, C6:0 and n-3 PUFA C18:3n-3 (α-linolenic acid, ALA) were significantly increased during the first 3 mon (P < 0.05). HBM proteomic analyses distinguished compositional protein differences over time (P = 0.001). Personalized motherinfant analyses demonstrated that HBM from high BMI mothers presented increased total energy, fat, protein and OPN, and increased content of n-6 PUFA (including C18:3n-6, C20:3n-6 and n-6/n-3 ratio) as compared with low BMI mothers (P < 0.05). Furthermore, BMI of the mothers positively correlated with the head circumference (HC) of infants as well as the specific n-6 PUFA C20:3n-6 over the 3 time points examined. Infant HC was negatively associated with C18:0. CONCLUSION: This study provides additional evidence to the Chinese HBM database, and further knowledge of FA function. It also helps to establish future maternal strategies that support the healthy growth and development of Chinese infants.

콩 발효식품인 청국장은 어느 정도는 그 기능성 때문에 많은 사람들이 선호하고 있다. 청국장의 발효 과정은 발효미생물이 분비하는 단백질 분해 효소를 포함하는 여러 효소들에 의해 이루어지기 때문에 발효기간 동안 청국장의 단백질체 분석은 발효의 최적화를 이루기 위해서 그리고 청국장에 생성되는 기능성물질 생성 과정을 이해하는 데 도움이 된다. 청국장의 수용성 단백질을 phenol/chloroform 추출 방법으로 분리하여 2-D gel 분석에 방해되는 물질들을 제거하였다. 각 발효 단계에서 단백질 분석을 하였을 때 20시간 안에 대부분의 단백질들이 작은 분자로 분해되었고 수용성 단백질에는 미생물 유래 단백질들이 점차 증가하였다. 청국장의 단백질 프로파일은 natto의 것과는 매우 다른 양상을 2-D gel 상에서 보였다. 각 gel에서 50개의 단백질을 임의로 선발하여 MALDI-TOF MS 분석을 하고 PMF로 단백질을 동정하였다. 결과는 콩이나 발효 미생물들의 유전체 정보가 부족하여 청국장에서 9종 natto에서 15종의 단백질만을 동정할 수 있었다. MS/MS 분석을 통한 아미노산 서열 분석을 통해 얻은 정보를 가지고 BLASTP 검색엔진으로 database를 검색한 결과 제한된 수의 단백질이 낮은 신뢰도 범위에서 동정되었다. 그렇지만 청국장과 같이 복잡한 단백질체를 분석하기에는 본 연구에서 고안한 전체 단백질 분리 기술과 2-D gel 분석적 접근은 단백질을 전체적으로 분석함에 있어 훌륭한 방법이다. 앞으로 청국장의 단백질 변화에 대한 연구는 의미 있는 변화를 보이는 소수의 단백질을 선발하고 이들에 대해 집중적으로 질량분석 하여 단백질을 동정하는 것이 필요하다.

The present study aimed to analyze the metaproteome of the microbial community comprising harmful algal bloom (HAB) in the Daechung reservoir, Korea. HAB samples located at GPS coordinates of 36°29'N latitude and 127°28'E longitude were harvested in October 2013. Microscopic observation of the HAB samples revealed red signals that were presumably caused by the autofluorescence of chlorophyll and phycocyanin in viable cyanobacteria. Metaproteomic analysis was performed by a gelbased shotgun proteomic method. Protein identification was conducted through a two-step analysis including a forward search strategy (FSS) (random search with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Cyanobase, and Phytozome), and a subsequent reverse search strategy (RSS) (additional Cyanobase search with a decoy database). The total number of proteins identified by the two-step analysis (FSS and RSS) was 1.8-fold higher than that by one-step analysis (FSS only). A total of 194 proteins were assigned to 12 cyanobacterial species (99 mol%) and one green algae species (1 mol%). Among the species identified, the toxic microcystin-producing Microcystis aeruginosa NIES-843 (62.3%) species was the most dominant. The largest functional category was proteins belonging to the energy category (39%), followed by metabolism (15%), and translation (12%). This study will be a good reference for monitoring ecological variations at the meta-protein level of aquatic microalgae for understanding HAB.

Liquid chromatography based mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is a key technology for analyzing highly complex and dynamic proteome samples. With highly accurate and sensitive LC-MS analysis of complex proteome samples, efficient data processing is another critical issue to obtain more information from LC-MS data. A typical proteomic data processing starts with protein database search engine which assigns peptide sequences to MS/MS spectra and finds proteins. Although several search engines, such as SEQUEST and MASCOT, have been widely used, there is no unique standard way to interpret MS/MS spectra of peptides. Each search engine has pros and cons depending on types of mass spectrometers and physicochemical properties of peptides. In this study, we describe a novel data process pipeline which identifies more peptides and proteins by correcting precursor ion mass numbers and unifying multi search engines results. The pipeline utilizes two open-source software, iPE-MMR for mass number correction, and iProphet to combine several search results. The integrated pipeline identified 25% more proteins in mouse epididymal adipose tissue compared with the conventional method. Also the pipeline was validated using control and colitis induced colon tissue. The results of the present study shows that the integrated pipeline can efficiently identify increased number of proteins compared to the conventional method which can be a breakthrough in identification of a potential biomarker candidate.

In order to screen the aging related proteins in human normal colon epithelia, the comparative proteomics analysis was applied to get the two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) profiles with high resolution and reproducibility from normal colon epithelial tissues of young and aged people. Differential proteins between the colon epithelia of two age groups were found with PDQuest software. The thirty five differential protein-spots were identified by peptide mass fingerprint (PMF) based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) and database searching. Among them there are sixteen proteins which are significantly up-regulated in the colonic mucosal epithelia of young people group, which include ATP synthase beta chain, electron transfer flavoprotein alpha-subunit, catalase, glutathione peroxidase 1, annexin A2 and heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein, etc.; There are nineteen proteins which are significantly up-regulated in the colonic mucosal epithelia of aged people group, which include far upstream element-binding protein 1, nucleoside diphosphate kinase B, protein disulfide-isomerase precursor and VDAC-2, etc.. The identified differential proteins appear to be involved in metabolism, energy generation, chaperone, antioxidation, signal transduction, protein folding and apoptosis. The data will help to understand the molecular mechanisms of human colon epithelial aging.

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) maps for human stomach tissue proteins have been prepared by displaying the protein components of the tissue by 2-DE and identifying them using mass spectrometry. This will enable us to present an overview of the proteins expressed In human stomach tissues and lays the basis for subsequent comparative proteome analysis studies with gastric diseases such as gastric cancer. In this study, 2-DE maps of soluble fraction proteins were prepared on two gel images with partially overlapping pH ranges of 4-7 and 6-9. On the gels covering pH 4-7 and pH 6-9, about 900 and 600 protein spots were detected on silver staining, respectively. For protein identification, proteins spots on micropreparative gels stained by colloidal Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 were excised, digested in-gel with trypsln, and analyzed by peptide mass fingerprinting with delayed extraction-matrix assisted laser dosorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (DE-MALDI-MS). In all, 243 protein spots (168 spots in acidic map and 75 spots in basic map) corresponding to 136 different proteins were identified. Besides these principal maps, maps of lower resolution, i.e. overview maps (displayed on pH 3-10 gels) for total homogenate and soluble fraction, are also presented with some identifications mapped on them. Based on the 2-DE maps presented in this study, a 2-DE database for human stomach tissue proteome has been constructed and available at http://proteome.gsnu.ac.kr/DB/2DPAGE/Stomach/. The 2-DE maps and the database resulting from this study will serve important resources for subsequent proteomic studies for analyzing the normal protein variability in healthy tissues and specific protein variations in diseased tissues.
