MS-based proteomics has been widely applied to molecular and cellular biology to elucidate biological and pathophysiological processes. However, MS analyses of biological samples are often challenging due to the vast complexity and large dynamic range. Because disease identifying biomarkers are more likely to be low abundance proteins, it is imperative to remove the highly abundant proteins or apply enrichment techniques during sample preparation to allow detection and improve coverage of the low abundance proteins for MS analysis. In addition, the complexity of the digested biological samples can be reduced by applying multiple orthogonal separations prior to LC-MS/MS such as multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT). In this dissertation, the major objectives include the following: (1) method development of sample preparation and chromatographic separation for MS-based quantitative proteomics, and (2) their applications in large-scale protein characterization in complex biological samples for differential expression analysis and biomarker discovery will be discussed. First, a method of MudPIT combined with ESI-MS/MS was optimized and performed for global proteome profiling in naïve and v interleukin-2 (IL-2)-activated natural killer cells. In order to identify IL-2 regulated proteins that may lead to the discovery of new molecular pathways involved in IL-2 signaling, spectral counting, which is a label-free quantification strategy for comparative proteomic analysis was utilized due to the simplicity and sensitivity of this approach. A similar sample preparation and quantification strategy was also applied to the comparative secretome analysis in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) stimulated by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), which led to the identification of secreted proteins that may be associated with TGF-β signaling in VSMCs. Although multi-dimensional separation proved to be essential and effective to reduce sample complexity, it is sometimes insufficient for proteome profiling in biofluids such as plasma where only a few high abundance proteins comprise majority of the serum proteome. To improve the identifications of low abundance proteins in MS analysis, it is imperative to remove the highly abundant proteins or apply enrichment techniques prior to MS analysis. To tackle this problem, lectin affinity chromatography (LAC) was utilized in sample preparation of mouse plasma affected by prion disease to specifically enrich glycoproteins that may prove to be important biomarkers for prion diseases. The combination of LAC and MudPIT significantly reduced sample complexity and led to the discovery of a panel of potential biomarkers including the validation of serum amyloid P-component (SAP). Furthermore, PNGase F digestion analysis confirmed that the glycosylated form of SAP could be used as a potential diagnostic biomarker for prion diseases and that glycosylated SAP plays an important role in the progression of prion disease. Collectively, the work included in this thesis extends the capability of mass spectrometry as a powerful analytical tool for large-scale proteomic analysis in complex biological samples to identify disease biomarkers or biomolecules involved in critical cellular processes. 1 Chapter 1 Introduction: Background and Research Summary 2 1.1 Introduction The main objective of this dissertation focuses on the utilization of mass spectrometry (MS) for large-scale proteomic profiling in complex biological samples and application of this technology to discover biomarkers or protein factors that are associated with human diseases. For this purpose, the research included in this dissertation includes topics ranging from analytical method development for improved protein characterization and quantification, to biological validation of potential protein biomarkers identified by MS analysis. In this dissertation MS- based proteomics techniques were applied to vastly different collaborative projects where analyses were challenged by sample complexity. This chapter outlines the overall structure of this dissertation with a background overview of MS-based proteomics and general introductions to each research project. 1.2 Background Overview Advances in MS have made MS-based proteomics and peptidomics a method of choice for large scale protein characterization and biomarker discovery. Coupled with different sample preparation and separation techniques, MS-based proteomics and peptidomics can be utilized to study peptide and protein identification, structures, modifications and interactions

  • Comparison of Gene Expression Profiles in Chromate Transformed BEAS-2B Cells
    Comparison of Gene Expression Profiles in Chromate Transformed BEAS-2B Cells Hong Sun1, Harriet A. Clancy1, Thomas Kluz1, Jiri Zavadil2, Max Costa1* 1 Nelson Institute of Environmental Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, Tuxedo, New York, United States of America, 2 Department of Pathology, NYU Cancer Institute and Center for Health Informatics and Bioinformatics, NYU Langone Medical Center, New York, New York, United States of America Abstract Background: Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is a potent human carcinogen. Occupational exposure has been associated with increased risk of respiratory cancer. Multiple mechanisms have been shown to contribute to Cr(VI) induced carcinogenesis, including DNA damage, genomic instability, and epigenetic modulation, however, the molecular mechanism and downstream genes mediating chromium’s carcinogenicity remain to be elucidated. Methods/Results: We established chromate transformed cell lines by chronic exposure of normal human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells to low doses of Cr(VI) followed by anchorage-independent growth. These transformed cell lines not only exhibited consistent morphological changes but also acquired altered and distinct gene expression patterns compared with normal BEAS-2B cells and control cell lines (untreated) that arose spontaneously in soft agar. Interestingly, the gene expression profiles of six Cr(VI) transformed cell lines were remarkably similar to each other yet differed significantly from that of either control cell lines or normal BEAS-2B cells. A total of 409 differentially expressed genes were identified in Cr(VI) transformed cells compared to control cells. Genes related to cell-to-cell junction were upregulated in all Cr(VI) transformed cells, while genes associated with the interaction between cells and their extracellular matrices were down-regulated.

Stroke is the leading cause of death in Portugal and the third leading cause of death in the developed world. It is even more disabling than lethal, and the persistent neurological impairment and physical disability caused by stroke have a very high socioeconomic cost. Moreover, the number of affected individuals is expected to increase with the current aging of the population. Stroke is a “brain attack” cutting off vital blood and oxygen to the brain cells and it is a complex disease resulting from environmental and genetic factors.

ABSTRACT The heterogeneity of colon cancer tumors suggests that therapeutics targeting specific molecules may be effective in only a few patients. It is therefore necessary to explore gene mutations in colon cancer. In this study, we obtained colon cancer samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas, and the International Cancer Genome Consortium. We evaluated the landscape of somatic mutations in colon cancer and found that KRAS mutations, particularly rs121913529, were frequent and had prognostic value. Using ESTIMATE analysis, we observed that the KRAS-mutated group had higher tumor purity, lower immune score, and lower stromal score than the wild- type group. Through single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, we found that KRAS mutations negatively correlated with enrichment levels of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, inflammation, and cytolytic activities.
