A monocyte-rich preparation from the adherent cell fraction of human peripheral blood leukocytes was incubated for 1-8 h with [35S]methionine or [3H]leucine in the presence and absence of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The macromolecules released into the supernatant were analysed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and radioautography. A complex labelling pattern involving at least 20 easily demonstrable and apparently distinct products with a broad range of molecular masses and isoelectric points was observed. LPS or LPS plus actinomycin in combination markedly stimulated the labelling and release of at least twelve different macromolecules ranging in apparent Mr from 12,000 to 46,000. Studies with monocytes that had been additionally purified by centrifugal elutriation and with the monocyte-like human cell line U-937 indicated that monocytes rather than contaminating cells were the source of these products. The majority of the secreted products were unique and did not cross-react with antibodies to interleukin 1 or tumour necrosis factor. The high resolving capacity of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis may be useful to define further the diverse biological activities and potential monokines released from monocytes at various stages of their differentiation and activation.

Abstract To understand at a molecular level the basis of the normal and pathological genetic differences between individuals it is necessary to begin a detailed two-dimensional gel electrophoretic mapping of the proteins of the human brain in normal individuals and those with various genetic neurological disorders. The present study is an examination of the polypeptide patterns of extracts of the human brain made with 9 mol/L urea solution. Details of the technique and the nomenclature of the patterns obtained are presented. the gels are separated into 20 sub-sections, based on standards with known molecular masses and isoelectric points. Groups of polypeptides within these sub-sections are identified by a number and a letter; the individual proteins are identified by a number. Thus, protein 1 in subsection 8, group b, would be designated 8b: 1. Subsequent papers in this series identify many of these proteins; show which proteins belong to the cytosol, synaptosome, myelin, and other brain fractions; show how these patterns vary between normal individuals and those with different neurological and psychiatric conditions; examine the effect of severe gliosis; and present the results of non-equilibrium gel electrophoresis for the more basic proteins.

Abstract Differences in proteins between cells grown as suspension cultures and those grown as attached cultures were studied by comparing the proteins of detergent-resistant cytoskeletons prepared from peripheral blood leukocytes and a lymphoblastoid cell line (GM607) (both grown as suspension cultures) and those of human skin fibroblasts (grown as attached cultures) by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The major cytoskeletal proteins of the leukocytes were also present in the protein pattern of GM607 cytoskeletons. In contrast, the fibroblast cytoskeletal protein pattern contained four groups of proteins that differed from the patterns of the leukocytes and GM607. Three groups (Cytoskf:8--10, :14--16, and :17--18) showed qualitative differences, and the fourth group (Cytoskf:11 and :13) showed quantitative differences. In addition, surface labeling of GM607 and human fibroblasts with 125I demonstrated that substantial amounts of vimentin and actin are exposed at the surface of the attached fibroblasts, but there is little evidence of similar exposure at the surface of the suspension-grown GM607. Cytoskf:11 and :13 in fibroblast preparations were also labeled with the 125I. These results demonstrate some differences in cytoskeletal protein composition between different types of cells could be related to their ability or lack of ability to grow as attached cells in tissue culture.

Adh Activity

The alteration of protein synthesis induced by oxygen deprivation has been examined in the root tips of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum cv. Siokra), a plant that is intolerant to anoxia. Using [35S]methionine labelling and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis it was demonstrated that 14 major polypeptides are being selectively synthesised during oxygen deprivation. These polypeptides have been designated the cotton anaerobic polypeptides (ANPs), and have estimated molecular masses that correspond to molecular masses of ANPs from other plant species. However, compared to maize, several of the major molecular weight classes are absent, suggesting that the response to oxygen deprivation in cotton is simpler than that of maize. Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity is induced by oxygen deprivation. Using western analysis we have determined that this increase in activity is correlated with the accumulation of the ADH polypeptide and that three of the major cotton ANPs are ADH, including the most intensely labelled ANP, demonstrating that the synthesis of ADH constitutes a major part of the response in cotton.

Platelet Proteins

SummaryThe platelet proteins of 9 thrombasthenic patients from 7 families were analysed by high resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (HR-2DE) and crossed immunoelectrophoresis (CIE). In 7 patients both glycoproteins (GPs) IIb and Ilia were absent or reduced to roughly the same extent. In two related patients only a trace of GP Ilb-IIIa complex was detected in CIE, but HR-2DE revealed a glycopeptide in the position of GP Ilia in an amount comparable to type II thrombasthenia. This GP Ilia-like component was neither recognized normally by anti-GP Ilb-IIIa antibodies nor labeled by surface iodination. In unreduced-reduced two-dimensional gel electrophoresis two components were observed in the region of GP Ilia. The assumption of a structural variant of GP Ilia in the two related patients is discussed.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrine disorder affecting 6–7% of premenopausal women. Recent studies revealed that the immune system especially CD4+ T helper cells are important in the context PCOS. Proteome analysis of CD4+ T lymphocytes can provide valuable information regarding the biology of these cells in the context of PCOS. Objective: To investigate immune dysregulation in CD4+ T lymphocytes at the protein level in the context of PCOS using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) and mass spectrometry (MS). Methods: In the present study, we applied two-dimensional gel electrophoresis / mass spectrometry to identify proteins differentially expressed by peripheral blood CD4+ T cells in ten PCOS women compared with ten healthy women. Western blot technique was used to confirm the identified proteins. Results: Despite the overall proteome similarities, there were significant differences in the expression of seven spots between two groups (P <0.05). Three proteins, namely phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 1, proteasome activator complex subunit 1 and triosephosphate isomerase 1 were successfully identified by Mass technique and confirmed by western blot. All characterized proteins were over-expressed in CD4+ T cells from patients compared to CD4+ T cells from controls (P <0.05). In-silico analysis suggested that the over-expressed proteins interact with other proteins involved in cellular metabolism especially glycolysis and ferroptosis pathway. Conclusion: These findings suggest that metabolic adjustments in CD4+ T lymphocytes, which is in favor of increased glycolysis and Th2 differentiation are important in the context of PCOS.
