However, little information is presently available regarding the use of 2D-DIGE to investigate mechanisms of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. Plasma and body fluids have been utilized in proteomic technology to study ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. OBJECTIVE: To perform proteomic analysis of fresh rat brain tissue in peripheral ischemic regions using 2D-DIGE 6 hours after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), and to identify specific proteins closely associated with early ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Proteomics-based, randomized, controlled, animal experiment was performed at the Laboratories of Neurology and Proteomics, Jilin University between January and April 2006. MATERIALS: 2, 3, 5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride was purchased from Sigma, USA. Ettan DALTSix system, DeCyder DIA V5.0 differential analysis software, and Ettan matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF-MS) were purchased from Amersham Bioscience, Sweden. METHODS: Eight healthy, male, Wistar rats were randomized to experimental and control groups, with four rats in each group. In the experimental group, rat models of focal cerebral ischemia were established by MCAO. In the control group, the internal and external carotid arteries were exposed and then immediately sutured, and the remaining procedures were identical to the experimental group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: At 6 hours after cerebral ischemia, protein expression in the peripheral ischemia region of the experimental group was compared with the control group using 2D-DIGE. Protein spots that exhibited statistical differences between experimental and control groups with 〉 1.4 attributable risk were screened using DeCyder DIA V5.0 differential analysis software. Differential proteins were identified using MALDI-TOF-MS. RESULTS: Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining results revealed pink, normal brain tissue and white, ischemic brain tissue, suggesting successful MCAO establishment. The average matching rate of four 2D-DIGE gels was 92.4%. There were (1 758 ± 43) protein spots on each gel, with similar distribution modes. At 6 hours after focal cerebral ischemia, 13 protein spots exhibited marked expression changes, including significantly increased (n = 7) and decreased (n = 6) expression (P 〈 0.05). MALDI-TOF-MS results revealed two differential protein spots: a-tubulin and heat shock protein 27, which were significantly decreased in the experimental group compared with the control group (P 〈 0.05). CONCLUSION: Thirteen protein spots with expression changes were revealed by 2D-DIGE proteomics technology. Of them, a-tubulin and heat shock protein 27 expressions were markedly decreased during the early stage of cerebral ischemia. These two proteins were presumed to be proteins associated with early ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.展开更多

Globozoospermia is diagnosed by the presence of 100% round-headed spermatozoa on semen analysis, and patients with this condition are absolutely infertile. The objective of this study was to investigate the differences in protein expression between human round- headed and normal spermatozoa. Two-dimensional (2-D) fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) was used in this study. Over 61 protein spots were analysed in each paired normal/round-headed comparison, using DIGE technology along with an internal standard. In total, 35 protein spots identified by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) exhibited significant changes (paired t-test, P 〈 0.05) in the expression level between normal and round-headed spermatozoa. A total of nine proteins were found to be upregulated and 26 proteins were found to be downregulated in round-headed spermatozoa compared with normal spermatozoa. The differentially expressed proteins that we identified may have important roles in a variety of cellular processes and structures, including spermatogenesis, cell skeleton, metabolism and spermatozoa motility.展开更多

Compared with the control group, resveratrol treatment significantly affected the expression of four proteins: endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductin 1-like protein alpha, p21-activated kinase 1, Archain 1, and T cell receptor beta chain. The former three were downregulated and the latter was upregulated. These proteins are primarily associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress, intracellular trafficking, and immune function.展开更多

Three proteins were unambi-guously identified: the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A isoform 1 and ATP6V1B2 protein were downregulated, while the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K was upregulated. Moreover, all three proteins are associated with altered expression due to oxidative stress. Ma-trix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and protein immunoblotting assay confirmed the differential expression of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A isoform 1. The results indicate that valproic acid exerts an antioxidation effect by regulating the expression of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A isoform 1.展开更多
