Proteins secreted from specific cancer cells have a high potential for use as tumor markers. We identified secreted proteins produced by 15 different carcinoma cell lines grown in serum-free medium using MS/MS. Proneurotensin/neuromedin N (proNT/NMN) was found in conditioned medium from four of seven small cell lung carcinoma cell lines but not from eight nonsmall cell lung carcinoma cell lines. These results indicate proNT/NMN has potential as a specific tumor marker of small cell lung carcinoma. 相似文献

To date no reliable diagnostic method exists to predict, among the very large and clinically heterogeneous group of Helicobacter pylori‐infected patients, the extremely small group at risk for developing low‐grade gastric MALT lymphoma (LG‐MALT). Search of proteomic biomarkers holds promise for the classification of the H. pylori strains with regard to this severe clinical outcome. In the present study 69 H. pylori strains isolated from patients with two different H. pylori‐associated diseases, duodenal ulcer (DU, n=29) and LG‐MALT (n=40) were used. Protein expression patterns of the strains were analyzed by using the high‐throughput methodology SELDI. Selected proteins were purified by means of chromatographic and electrophoretic methods in view of further sequencing by LC‐MS/MS. Univariate analysis (Mann–Whitney test) of the protein expression patterns generated nine significant biomarkers that can discriminate between H. pylori strains from patients with DU and LG‐MALT. These biomarkers are of low molecular weight, ranging from 6 to 26.6 kDa. Among them, two are overexpressed in LG‐MALT strains and seven – in DU strains. Two biomarker proteins, one overexpressed in LG‐MALT strains (13.2 kDa) and another one – overexpressed in DU strains (26.6 kDa), were purified to homogeneity and identified by using LC‐MS/MS as a 50S ribosomal protein L7/L12 and a urease subunit, respectively. These biomarkers can be included in novel protein arrays for the differential diagnosis of H. pylori‐associated clinical outcomes. 相似文献

Comparative proteome analysis was performed on the cultured media of human nontumor and malignant breast cell lines, Hs578Bst and Hs578T, respectively, in search of a serological biomarker(s) for breast cancer. Proteins in the conditioned media were separated by 2‐D PAGE and then visualized by silver‐staining. Eight proteins changed differentially by more than two‐fold were identified by MALDI‐TOF/TOF MS. Among the proteins identified, the terminal laminin‐like globular (LG3) domain of endorepellin, which was recently reported as an antiangiogenesis factor, was decreased in the cancer cell line. We confirmed the bone morphogenic protein‐1 (BMP‐1) mediated cleavage site on the N‐terminus of endorepellin LG3 fragment. This finding suggests that the LG3 fragment is specifically released by a BMP‐1 driven limited proteolytic process. The protein was also detected in plasma by Western blot analysis and selected reaction monitoring (SRM). The plasma level of the endorepellin LG3 fragment was significantly lower in breast cancer patients compared to healthy donors (p = 0.017; n = 12). The LG3 protein concentration in the control plasma was measured at approximately 3.7 pmol/mL compared to 1.8 pmol/mL in plasma from the cancer patients. We suggest that these results support the potential use of the endorepellin LG3 fragment as a new serological biomarker for breast cancer. 相似文献

Circulating antibodies reflect a mirror view of invading antigens that are related to infection and cancer. This was recently exemplified by using serum antibodies to capture Streptococcus bovis antigens followed by MS to generate antigen profiles that were diagnostic for colon cancer. These bacterial antigen profiles have a high potential to aid in the immuno‐diagnosis of this disease, as the magnitude of the immune response to bacterial antigens is, in general, superior to the immune response against tumor (self) antigens. In this study, the identity of individual colon cancer‐associated streptococcal antigens was revealed by enrichment of these “diagnostic” antigens by selected patient antibodies followed by high‐accuracy nanoLC‐MS/MS peptide identification. This showed that both the histone‐like protein HlpA and the ribosomal protein Rp L7/L12 are members of the colon cancer‐associated S. bovis immunome. Both antigens also seem to belong to the group of anchorless surface proteins, like 14 additional proteins that were co‐identified in S. bovis cell wall extracts. Among these were the known streptococcal anchorless surface proteins GAPDH and Enolase. Taken together, these data show that shotgun immunoproteomics, combining immunocapture in‐line with LC MS/MS, is a convenient approach for the rapid identification of disease‐associated bacterial antigens. 相似文献

In the context of serum amyloid A (SAA) identification as ovarian cancer marker derived by SELDI‐MS, its serum levels were measured by immunoassay in different stages of ovarian cancer, in benign gynecological tumors, and in healthy controls. In addition, SELDI‐TOF‐MS spectra were obtained by protocol optimized for the SAA peak intensity. SELDI data on small proteins (5.5–17.5 kDa) and SAA immunoassay data were combined with cancer antigen (CA)125 data in order to study the classification accuracy between cancer and noncancer by support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression, and top scoring pair classifiers. Although an addition of SAA immunoassay data to CA125 data did not significantly improve cancer/noncancer discrimination, SVM applied to combined biomarker data (CA125 and SAA immunoassay variables plus 48 SELDI peak variables) yielded the best classification rate (accuracy 95.2% vs. 86.2% for CA125 alone). Notably, most of discriminatory peaks selected by the classifiers have significant correlation with the major known peaks of SAA (11.7 kDa) and transthyretin (13.9 kDa). Acute phase serum amyloid A (A‐SAA) was proved to be an important member of cancer discriminatory protein profile. Among the eight known ovarian cancer SELDI profile components, A‐SAA is the most relevant to molecular pathogenesis of cancer and it has the highest degree of up‐regulation in disease. 相似文献

For most cancers, the patient's prognosis improves dramatically if the disease is detected at an early stage. Although advancements in imaging technology have improved early detection, many cancers remain undetected until it is too late for curative intervention. We have established, for the first time, expression difference mapping analysis of whole cell proteins from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell lines using ProteinChip technology. A total of 20 different RCC cell lines were cultured in vitro directly on ProteinChip arrays for 24 h. Direct MS analysis of proteins from the attached cells showed identical protein profiles by all analysed RCC lines. Comparative on‐chip analysis of isolated malignant cells from native tumour specimens revealed protein patterns highly similar to those from the continuous RCC lines. However, cultured primary cortex cells showed specific protein differences. Differential protein profiling of isolated cytosolic and enriched membrane fractions from the RCC lines revealed that the protein pattern of the membrane proteins included or were identical to those of the entire cells. Proteomics analysis of the chip‐binding membrane fractions allowed the identification of three forms of galectin‐1 as potential RCC marker. ProteinChip analysis with a bound‐specific antibody certified that galectin‐1 could be an RCC marker. Immunostaining methods confirmed the overexpression of galectin‐1 in renal carcinoma in comparison to healthy tissue. 相似文献

Purpose: As a pre‐malignant precursor, adenoma provides an ideal tissue for proteome profiling to investigate early colorectal cancer development and provide possible targets for preventive interventions. The aim of this study was to identify patterns of differential protein expression that distinguish colorectal adenoma from normal tissue. Experimental design: Twenty paired samples of adenoma and normal mucosa were analysed by 2‐DE and MALDI‐TOF/TOF MS to detect proteins with ≥2‐fold differential expression. Results: Four proteins were up‐regulated in adenoma (Annexin A3, S100A11, S100P and eIF5A‐1) and three were down‐regulated (Galectin‐1, S100A9 and FABPL). S100P, galectin‐1, S100A9 and FABPL expression was localised by immunohistochemistry. Conclusions and clinical relevance: Distinctive patterns of in vivo protein expression in colorectal adenoma were identified for the first time. These proteins have important functions in cell differentiation, proliferation and metabolism, and may play a crucial role in early colorectal carcinogenesis. The ability to recognise premalignant lesions may have important applications in cancer prevention. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to characterize the proteome of normal and malignant colonic tissue. We previously studied the colon proteome using 2‐DE and MALDI‐MS and identified 734 proteins (Roeßler, M., Rollinger, W., Palme S., Hagmann, M.‐L., et al.., Clin. Cancer Res. 2005, 11, 6550–6557). Here we report the identification of additional colon proteins from the same set of tissue samples using a complementary nano‐flow 2‐D‐LC‐ESI‐MS. In total, 484 proteins were identified in colon. Of these, 252 had also been identified by the 2‐DE/MALDI‐MS approach, whereas 232 proteins were unique to the 2‐D‐LC‐ESI‐MS analysis. Comparing protein expression in neoplastic and normal colon tissue indicated elevated expression of several proteins in colorectal cancer, among them the well established tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen, as well as calnexin, 40S ribosomal protein S15a, serpin H1, and S100A12. Overexpression of these proteins was confirmed by immunoblotting. Serum levels of S100A12 were determined by ELISA and were found to be strongly elevated in colorectal cancer patients compared to healthy individuals. We conclude, that 2‐D‐LC‐ESI‐MS is a powerful approach to identify and compare protein profiles of tissue samples, that it is complementary to 2‐DE/MALDI‐MS approaches and has the potential to identify novel biomarkers. 相似文献

To comprehensively measure global changes in protein expression associated with human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), comparative proteomic analysis of two cell lines derived from the healthy and carcinoma tissue of a same donor respectively was conducted using quantitative amino acid-coded mass tagging /stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture-based LC-MS/MS approach. Among a total of 501 proteins precisely quantified, the expressions of 128 proteins were significantly altered including 70 proteins up-regulated and 58 down-regulated in HCC cells. According to their previously characterized functions, the differentially expressed proteins were found associated with nine functional categories including glycolysis, stress response, cell communication, cell cycle, apoptosis/death, etc. For example, multiple enzymes involving glycolysis pathway were found differentially regulated in HCC cells, illustrating the critical participation of glycolysis in the HCC transformation. The accuracy of certain differentially expressed proteins identified through the amino acid-coded mass tagging-based quantification was validated in the paired cell lines, and later their pathological correlations were examined in multiple clinical pairs of normal versus tumor tissues from HCC specimen by using a variety of biological approaches including Western blotting and in situ immunoassays. These consistencies suggested that multiple proteins such as HSP27, annexin V, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, nucleolin and elongation factor Tu could be the biomarkers candidates for diagnosis of HCC. 相似文献

The cancer cell secretome may contain potentially useful biomarkers. Previously, we have analyzed the colorectal carcinoma (CRC) cell secretome. In this study, tumor‐associated antigen 90K (TAA90K)/Mac‐2 binding protein (Mac‐2BP), one of the CRC cell secreted proteins, was chosen for evaluation as a potential CRC biomarker because its mRNA level was also found to be significantly elevated in CRC tissues and in a more metastatic CRC cell line from the analysis of two public domain array‐based datasets. Immunohistochemical analysis of 241 CRC specimens showed that TAA90K/Mac‐2BP was positively detected in 52.7% of the tumors, but weakly or not detected in over 95% of the adjacent nontumor epithelial cells. The plasma TAA90K/Mac‐2BP levels were significantly higher in CRC patients (N = 280) versus healthy controls (N = 147) (7.77 ± 3.49 vs. 5.72 ± 2.67 μg/mL, p<0.001). Moreover, combination of TAA90K/Mac‐2BP and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) could outperform CEA alone in discriminating CRC patients from healthy persons in this case‐control study. Our results collectively indicate that analysis of cancer cell secretome is a feasible strategy for identifying cancer biomarker candidates, and the TAA90K/Mac‐2BP may be a potential CRC biomarker. 相似文献

Glial-cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a potent survival factor for dopaminergic neurons, and hence serves as a therapeutic candidate for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, despite the potential clinical and physiological importance of GDNF, its mechanism of action is unclear. Therefore, we employed a state-of-the-art proteomic technique, DIGE, along with MS and a bioinformatics tool called Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID), to profile proteome changes in the parkinsonian mouse striatum after GDNF challenge. Forty-six unique differentially expressed proteins were successfully identified, which were found either up-regulated and/or down-regulated at the two time points 4 and 72 h compared with the control. Proteins involved in cell differentiation and system development formed the largest part of the proteins regulated under GDNF. Furthermore, the aberrant expression of HSPs and mitochondria-associated proteins were noticeable. Moreover, mitochondrial stress 70 protein and heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein, whose relative levels increased significantly in GDNF-treated striatum, were further evaluated with Western blot and RT-PCR, demonstrating a good agreement with quantitative proteomic data. These data will provide some clues for understanding the mechanisms by which GDNF promotes the survival of dopaminergic neurons. 相似文献

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, with 4% survival 5 years after diagnosis. Biomarkers are desperately needed to improve earlier, more curable cancer diagnosis and to develop new effective therapeutic targets. The development of quantitative proteomics technologies in recent years offers great promise for understanding the complex molecular events of tumorigenesis at the protein level, and has stimulated great interest in applying the technology for pancreatic cancer studies. Proteomic studies of pancreatic tissues, juice, serum/plasma, and cell lines have recently attempted to identify differentially expressed proteins in pancreatic cancer to dissect the abnormal signaling pathways underlying oncogenesis, and to detect new biomarkers. It can be expected that the continuing evolution of proteomics technology with better resolution and sensitivity will greatly enhance our capability in combating pancreatic cancer. 相似文献

Purpose : Glutamine (Gln) has protective, anti‐inflammatory effects in animal models and humans. Antioxidant nutrients may exert synergistic effects on intestinal functions. Therefore, these combined nutrients may have a therapeutic potential during intestinal inflammation. This study was designed to investigate in humans the effects of a supplement composed of Gln and high‐dosed antioxidant micronutrients compared to isomolar Gln only, on duodenal proteome. Experimental design : Enteral perfusion of Gln (0.8 mmol . kg?1. h?1) or supplement was performed in two groups of six healthy volunteers during 5 h before taking endoscopic duodenal biopsies. Protein expression was analyzed by 2‐DE and the relevant proteins identified by MS/MS. Results : About 1500 protein spots were revealed in both supplement and Gln conditions. Comparative proteomics analysis indicated that 11 proteins were differentially and significantly (p≤0.05) expressed in response to the supplement. These proteins were essentially implicated in metabolism pathways, e.g. fatty acid binding protein‐1 and 40S ribosomal protein SA expressions were downregulated while manganese superoxide dismutase and retinal dehydrogenase‐1 expressions were upregulated. Conclusions and clinical relevance : This study provides new information on human duodenal proteome and its nutritional modulation, and supports further clinical investigations designed to evaluate the effects of Gln plus antioxidants during intestinal inflammation and cancer. 相似文献

MS-based investigation of pancreatic fluid enables the high-throughput identification of proteins present in the pancreatic secretome. Pancreatic fluid is a complex admixture of digestive, inflammatory, and other proteins secreted by the pancreas into the duodenum, and thus is amenable to MS-based proteomic analysis. Recent advances in endoscopic techniques, in particular the endoscopic pancreatic function test (ePFT), have improved the collection methodology of pancreatic fluid for proteomic analysis. Here, we provide an overview of MS-based proteomic techniques as applied to the study of pancreatic fluid. We address sample collection, protein extraction, MS sample preparation and analysis, and bioinformatic approaches, and summarize current MS-based investigations of pancreatic fluid. We then examine the limitations and the future potential of such technologies in the investigation of pancreatic disease. We conclude that pancreatic fluid represents a rich reservoir of potential biomarkers and that the study of the molecular mechanisms of chronic pancreatitis may benefit substantially from MS-based proteomics. 相似文献

Epidemiological studies indicate a correlation of cruciferous vegetables consumption with reduced incidence of cancer. This study was designed to investigate molecular mechanisms, which may help to understand the beneficial effects of Brussels sprout consumption. In order to avoid the limitations of in vitro model systems, we performed a dietary intervention study with five participants. We investigated, whether sprout consumption affects the proteome profile of primary white blood cells. In order to achieve maximal sensitivity in detecting specific adaptive proteome alterations, we metabolically labelled freshly isolated cells in the presence of 35S‐methionine/cysteine and performed autoradiographic quantification of protein synthesis. Proteins were separated by 2‐DE and spots of interest were cut out, digested and identified by MS. After the intervention, we found a significant up‐regulation of the synthesis of manganese superoxide dismutase (1.56‐fold) and significant down‐regulation of the synthesis of heat shock 70 kDa protein (hsp70; 2.27‐fold). Both proteins play a role in malignant transformation of cells. Hsp‐70 is involved in the regulation of apoptosis, which leads to elimination of cancer cells, while SOD plays a key role in protection against reactive oxygen species mediated effects. Our findings indicate that the alteration of the synthesis of these proteins may be involved in the anticarcinogenic effects of cruciferous vegetables, which was observed in earlier laboratory studies with animals. 相似文献

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occur with relatively high incidence in Thailand. Cell line models, originating from Thai patients, are available for both diseases, including the human bile duct epithelial carcinoma cell line (HuCCA-1) and the HCC cell line HCC-S102. Here, we have prepared subproteomes enriched in membrane proteins or in cytosolic proteins from the HuCCA-1 and the HCC-S102 cell lines. Study of differential protein expression by 2-DE and LC/MS/MS showed 195 proteins expressed in the two cell lines, including both membrane-associated and cytosolic proteins. Eighteen proteins were found in both membrane and cytosolic fractions of HuCCA-1, but not in HCC-S102, while nine proteins were found in both membrane and cytosolic fractions of HCC-S102, but not in HuCCA-1. Ten membrane proteins were found in HuCCA-1 but not in HCC-S102, including integrin alpha-6 precursor, ezrin, hippocalcin-like protein 1, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 2 (MAPK/ERK kinase kinase 2), and calgizzarin. Proteins showing increased expression in the membrane fraction of HuCCA-1 were mainly cytoskeletal proteins (40.9%), while proteins showing increased expression in the membrane fraction of HCC-S102 were mainly metabolic proteins (39.4%). The subproteomic approach used here facilitates detection of potential biomarkers undetected by regular proteomic methods. 相似文献

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) accounts for over 213?000 deaths worldwide each year, largely due to late diagnosis. One of the risk factors for the development of PDAC is chronic pancreatitis (CP); the intense desmoplastic reaction makes differentiation between the two conditions extremely difficult. In order to identify biomarkers for noninvasive diagnosis, we performed 2-D DIGE analysis of urine samples from healthy individuals and patients with PDAC and CP. Despite considerable intersample heterogeneity, a total of 127 statistically valid (p<0.05), differentially expressed protein spots were detected, 101 of which were identified using MALDI-TOF MS. A number of these, including annexin A2, gelsolin and CD59 have already been associated with PDAC, however, their validation using immunoblotting proved challenging. This is probably due to extensive PTMs and processing thus indicating the need for raising specific antibodies for urinary proteins. Despite this, our study clearly demonstrates that urine is a valid source of noninvasive biomarkers in patients with pancreatic diseases. 相似文献

To identify proteins associated with esophageal carcinogenesis, we performed protein profiling of 16 esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) and paired noncancerous tissues by 2-DE and MS/MS. In cancerous tissues, three spots showed significant up-regulation in the amount of protein, while eight spots were significantly down-regulated. The identities of the spots were determined by PMF with LC-MS/MS and were confirmed by immunoblotting. The up-regulated proteins were tropomyosin alpha 4 chain, transgelin, and pyruvate kinase. The down-regulated proteins were serum albumin precursor, isoforms of annexin A1, tropomyosin beta chain, 14-3-3 protein sigma, and isoforms of serotransferrin precursor. In all 16 cases, up-regulation of the tropomyosin alpha 4 chain was confirmed by immunoblotting. Localization of the tropomyosin alpha 4 chain in ESCC cells and adjacent fibroblasts was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. 相似文献

The discovery of novel melanoma markers for not only early detection but also monitoring disease status is promising to improve the clinical outcome of patients. In the present study, we performed proteomic comparative analysis of plasma proteins between healthy volunteers and melanoma patients using NanoLC and MALDI‐TOF‐MS. As a result, we were successful in identifying nine proteins that were specifically expressed in melanoma plasma compared with healthy plasma, most of which had not previously been identified as plasma markers of melanoma. The mRNA expression levels of four proteins [pro‐platelet basic protein precursor (PPBP), serum amyloid A2 (SAA2), complement factor H‐related protein 1 precursor (FHR1), inter‐alpha‐trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4 precursor (IAIH4)] were prominently up‐regulated in several melanoma cell lines compared with melanocytes. Moreover, two proteins (PPBP, SAA) were shown to be expressed in tumor specimens from melanoma patients. In the survival time analysis regarding melanoma patients, the semi‐quantified plasma PPBP levels were statistically negatively correlated with the survival time. Most interestingly, the significant survival benefit was seen in low PBPP level group (< index 20) versus high level (≥ index 20) group. The results suggest that PPBP might be a novel promising serological marker and a prognostic factor specific to melanomas. 相似文献
