Summary

在这里, 我们提出了一个二维凝胶电泳 (2DE) 与质谱 (MS) 分离和鉴定人垂体腺瘤组织蛋白质组, 这是一个良好的和可重复的2DE 模式。在使用高灵敏度 MS 分析复杂的肿瘤蛋白质组时, 每2DE 点都能观察到许多蛋白质。

Abstract

人垂体腺瘤 (PA) 是一种常见的肿瘤, 发生在人垂体腺在下丘脑-垂体靶器官轴系统, 并可分为临床功能或非功能性 PA (平安险和消防协会)。由于与平安险相比, 在血液中几乎没有升高激素, 因此, 消防协会很难早期诊断和治疗。我们的长期目标是使用蛋白质组学方法发现可靠的生物标志物, 以澄清 PA 分子机制和识别有效的诊断, 预后标志和治疗目标。本文介绍了一种有效的二维凝胶电泳 (2DE) 结合质谱 (MS) 方法对人体 PA 蛋白质组进行分析, 包括制备样品、2D 凝胶电泳、蛋白质可视化、图像分析、凝胶胰蛋白酶消化, 肽质指纹图谱 (PMF) 和串联质谱 (ms/毫秒)。2维凝胶电泳基质辅助激光解吸/电离质谱 PMF (2 MALDI PMF), 2 MALDI ms/毫秒, 2 de 液相色谱 (LC) ms 和 ms 程序已成功地应用于对消防协会蛋白质组的分析。利用高灵敏度质谱仪, 在对复杂 PA 组织的分析中, 在每个2D 凝胶点上都发现了许多蛋白质, 并采用2的 LC-ms/毫秒方法, 以最大限度地提高人类 PA 蛋白质组的覆盖率。

Introduction

PA 是一种常见的肿瘤, 发生在人类垂体腺的下丘脑-垂体靶向系统, 这在人类内分泌系统中扮演重要的角色。PA 包括临床功能和非功能性 PAs (平安险和消防协会)1,2。在早期诊断和治疗方面, 消防协会是困难的, 因为只有轻微升高的荷尔蒙水平 (例如, LH, 和 FSH) 的血液比平安险, 这大大提高了血液中相应荷尔蒙的水平3,4 ,5。分子机制的澄清和有效生物标志物的发现对消防协会的诊断、治疗和预后具有重要的临床意义。我们的长期目标是开发和使用蛋白质组学方法研究消防协会, 以发现可靠的生物标志物, 以澄清其分子机制, 并确认有效的治疗目标, 以及诊断和预后标志。2-DE 结合 MS 方法已广泛应用于我们的长期研究计划, 关于人类 PA 蛋白质组1,2,6,7, 包括建立蛋白质组参考映射3,8, 差异表达的蛋白质剖面分析9,10,11,12,13, 荷尔蒙变体14 ,15, 平移后修改, 如磷酸化14和酪氨酸硝化16,17,18, 入侵相对的蛋白质组变异无创 NFPAs19和消防协会亚型13的蛋白质组异质性, 导致了多种重要通路网络 (线粒体功能障碍、细胞周期失调、氧化应激和 MAPK 信号) 的发现。系统异常) 在消防协会13,19,20中更改。

2DE. 根据它们的等电点 (pI) (电聚焦, IEF) 和分子量 (通过月桂酸钠聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳, SDS 页)1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23. 这是蛋白质组学领域的一种常见的和经典的分离技术, 自从 1995年24中引入了蛋白质组和蛋白质的概念。ms 是找出2种分离蛋白的关键技术, 包括 PMF 和 ms/ms 策略。MS 仪器的飞速发展, 特别是在检测灵敏度和分辨率方面, 结合 LC 系统的改进, 大大提高了蛋白质组中低或极低丰度蛋白质的识别率, 最大限度地蛋白质组的覆盖范围。它还挑战我们的传统观念, 在分析复杂的人体组织蛋白质组中只有一个或两个蛋白质存在于一个2D 凝胶点, 并提供了一个机会, 以确定在一个2D 凝胶点的多蛋白在复杂的人体组织分析蛋白质组, 并最大限度地覆盖了消防协会蛋白质组。

在这里, 我们描述了 2 MALDI ms PMF、2 MALDI ms/毫秒和2个非 LC ms/毫秒的详细协议, 这些方法已成功地用于人体消防协会蛋白质组的分析。这些协议包括: 样品的制备, 第一维 (电聚焦, IEF), 第二维 (SDS 页), 蛋白质的可视化 (银染色和考马斯蓝染色), 2D 凝胶的图像分析, 凝胶胰蛋白酶消化,纯化胰蛋白酶肽、PMF、ms/ms 和数据库灼热的3,8,25,26。此外, 该协议容易转化为分析其他人体组织蛋白质组。
