An Investigation of the Altered Textural Property in Woody Breast Myopathy Using an Integrative Omics Approach. Front Physiol 2022; 13:860868.

Abstract
Woody breast (WB) is a myopathy observed in broiler Pectoralis major (PM) characterized by its tough and rubbery texture with greater level of calcium content. The objective of this study was to investigate the functionality/integrity of WB sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), which may contribute to the elevated calcium content observed in WB and other factors that may influence WB texture. Fourteen Ross line broiler PM [7 severe WB and 7 normal (N)] were selected, packaged, and frozen at −20°C at 8 h postmortem from a commercial processing plant. Samples were used to measure pH, sarcomere length, proteolysis, calpain activity, collagenase activity, collagen content, collagen crosslinks density, and connective tissue peak transitional temperature. Exudate was also collected from each sample to evaluate free calcium concentration. The SR fraction of the samples was separated and utilized for proteomic and lipidomic analysis. The WB PM had a higher pH, shorter sarcomeres, lower % of intact troponin-T, more autolyzed μ/m calpain, more activated collagenase, greater collagen content, greater mature collagen crosslinks density, and higher connective tissue peak transitional temperature than the N PM (p ≤ 0.05). Exudate from WB PM had higher levels of free calcium than those from N PM (p < 0.05). Proteomics data revealed an upregulation of calcium transport proteins and a downregulation of proteins responsible for calcium release (p < 0.05) in WB SR. Interestingly, there was an upregulation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), and cholinesterase exhibited a 7.6-fold increase in WB SR (p < 0.01). Lipidomics data revealed WB SR had less relative % of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and more lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC; p < 0.05). The results indicated that upregulation of calcium transport proteins and downregulation of calcium-release proteins in WB SR may be the muscle’s attempt to regulate this proposed excessive signaling of calcium release due to multiple factors, such as upregulation of PLA2 resulting in PC hydrolysis and presence of cholinesterase inhibitors in the system prolonging action potential. In addition, the textural abnormality of WB may be the combined effects of shorter sarcomere length and more collagen with greater crosslink density being deposited in the broiler PM.

Abstract
Schistosomiasis is a chronic neglected tropical disease saddling millions of people in the world, mainly children living in poor rural areas. Praziquantel (PZQ) is currently the only drug used for the treatment and control of this disease. However, the extensive use of this drug has brought concern about the emergence of PZQ-resistance/tolerance by Schistosoma mansoni. Studies of Schistosoma spp. genome, transcriptome, and proteome are crucial to better understand this situation. In this in vitro study, we compare the proteomes of a S. mansoni variant strain stably resistant to PZQ and isogenic to its fully susceptible parental counterpart, identifying proteins from male and female adult parasites of PZQ-resistant and PZQ-susceptible strains, exposed and not exposed to PZQ. A total of 60 Schistosoma spp. proteins were identified, some of which present or absent in either strain, which may putatively be involved in the PZQ-resistance phenomenon. These proteins were present in adult parasites not exposed to PZQ, but some of them disappeared when these adult parasites were exposed to the drug. Understanding the development of PZQ-resistance in S. mansoni is crucial to prolong the efficacy of the current drug and develop markers for monitoring the potential emergence of drug resistance.

Abstract
Gel- based proteomics is one of the most versatile methods for fractionating protein complexes. Among these methods, two dimensional- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE) represents a mainstay orthogonal approach, which is popularly used to simultaneously fractionate, identify, and quantify proteins when coupled with mass spectrometric identification or other immunological tests. Although 2-DE was first introduced more than three decades ago, several challenges and limitations to its utility still exist. This review discusses the principles of 2-DE as well as both recent methodological advances and new applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New interventions tools are a priority for schistosomiasis control and elimination, as the disease is still highly prevalent. The identification of proteins associated with active infection and protective immune response may constitute the basis for the development of a successful vaccine and could also indicate new diagnostic candidates. In this context, post-genomic technologies have been progressing, resulting in a more rational discovery of new biomarkers of resistance and antigens for diagnosis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Two-dimensional electrophoresed Schistosoma mansoni adult worm protein extracts were probed with pooled sera of infected and non-infected (naturally resistant) individuals from a S. mansoni endemic area. A total of 47 different immunoreactive proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. Although the different pooled sera shared most of the immunoreactive protein spots, nine protein spots reacted exclusively with the serum pool of infected individuals, which correspond to annexin, major egg antigen, troponin T, filamin, disulphide-isomerase ER-60 precursor, actin and reticulocalbin. One protein spot, corresponding to eukaryotic translation elongation factor, reacted exclusively with the pooled sera of non-infected individuals living in the endemic area. Western blotting of two selected recombinant proteins, major egg antigen and hemoglobinase, showed a similar recognition pattern of that of the native protein. CONCLUDING/SIGNIFICANCE Using a serological proteome analysis, a group of antigens related to the different infection status of the endemic area residents was identified and may be related to susceptibility or resistance to infection.

Abstract
Oleaginous seeds store lipids in specialized structures called oil bodies (OBs). These organelles consist of a core of neutral lipids bound by proteins embedded in a phospholipid monolayer. OB proteins are well conserved in plants and have long been grouped into only two categories: structural proteins or enzymes. Recent work, however, which identified other classes of proteins associated with OBs, clearly shows that this classification is obsolete. Proteomics-mediated OB protein identification is facilitated in plants for which the genome is sequenced and annotated. However, it is not clear whether this knowledge can be dependably transposed to less well-characterized plants, including the well-established commercial sources of seed oil as well as the many others being proposed as novel sources for biodiesel, especially in Africa and Asia. Toward an update of the current data available on OB proteins this review discusses (i) the specific difficulties for proteomic studies of organelles; (ii) a 2012 census of the proteins found in seed OBs from various crops; (iii) the oleosin composition of OBs and their role in organelle stability; (iv) PTM of OB proteins as an emerging field of investigation; and finally we describe the emerging model of the OB proteome from oilseed crops.

Abstract
In the mammalian central nervous system, generation of new neurons persists in the subventricular zone (SVZ) throughout life. However, the capacity for neurogenesis in this region declines with aging. Recent studies have examined the degree of these age-related neurogenic declines and the changes of cytoarchitecture of the SVZ with aging. However, little is known about the molecular changes in the SVZ with aging. In this study, we dissected the SVZs from rats aged postnatal day 28, 3 months, and 24 months. The SVZ tissues were processed for 2-D gel electrophoresis to identify protein changes following aging. Protein spots were subsequently subjected to mass spectrometry analysis to compare age-related alterations in the SVZ proteome. We also examined the level of cell proliferation in the SVZ in animals of these three age groups by using bromodeoxyuridine labeling. We found significant age-related changes in the expression of several proteins that play critical roles in the proliferation and survival of neural stem/progenitor cells in the SVZ. Among these proteins, glial fibrillary acidic protein, ubiquitin carboxy terminal hydrolase 1, glutathione S-transferase omega, and preproalbumin were increased with aging, whereas collapsin response-mediated protein 4 (CRMP-4), CRMP-5, and microsomal protease ER60 exhibited declines with aging. We have also observed a significant decline of neural stem/progenitor cell proliferation in the SVZ with aging. These alterations in protein expression in the SVZ with aging likely underlie the diminishing proliferative capacity of stem/progenitor cells in the aging brain.

Abstract
Difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) is most often used to assess relative changes in the expression levels of individual proteins in multiple complex samples, and this information is valuable in making inferences about relative protein activity. However, a protein's activity is not solely dependent upon its expression level. A change in activity may also be influenced by myriad posttranslational modifications (PTMs), including palmitoylation, ubiquitination, oxidation, and phosphorylation. In this chapter, we describe the use of DIGE to determine specific PTMs by introducing specific labels or changes in pI and/or molecular weight.

Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease affecting exocrine glands, especially the salivary and lacrimal glands. Although most of the SS patients' sera have autoantibodies that can target a variety of antigens, it is not clear what determines which proteins will become autoantigens. The muscarinic receptor M3, an integral plasma membrane protein, has been proposed as a possible autoantigen in SS, and is endogenous in HeLa cells. The aim of this study was to develop a method that is able to separate and identify antigens recognised by sera from SS patients using lysates of HeLa and A-253 cells in 2D Western Blot (2DWB). The HeLa and A-253 cell lysates were fractionated in soluble and membrane-bound proteins, and the membrane-bound proteins were enriched for integral proteins. The fractions were tested using WB, confirming the presence of the main cell compartments. The rehydration solution containing ASB-14 performed better than the others in all three steps (active rehydration, focus and transfer), and efficiently separated the muscarinic receptor M3. The M3 receptor was also detected in lysates from A-253 cells. The presence of this receptor in this cell line has not been proven earlier. This work develops a suitable protocol to perform a mapping of the autoantibodies present in the sera of single SS patients, using lysates from epithelial cell lines that represent the main cell compartments as an antigen source. It is our future aim to use this protocol to perform a mapping of the antibodies present in the sera of individual SS patients.

Abstract
Populus tremula L. x P. alba L. (Populus x canescens (Aiton) Smith), clone INRA 717-1-B4, saplings were subjected to 120 ppb ozone exposure for 28 days. Chloroplasts were isolated, and the membrane proteins, solubilized using the detergent 1,2-diheptanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DHPC), were analyzed in a difference gel electrophoresis (DiGE) experiment comparing control versus ozone-exposed plants. Extrinsic photosystem (PS) proteins and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) subunits were detected to vary in abundance. The general trend was a decrease in abundance, except for ferredoxin-NADP(+) oxidoreductase (FNR), which increased after the first 7 days of exposure. The up-regulation of FNR would increase NAPDH production for reducing power and detoxification inside and outside of the chloroplast. Later on, FNR and a number of PS and ATPase subunits decrease in abundance. This could be the result of oxidative processes on chloroplast proteins but could also be a way to down-regulate photochemical reactions in response to an inhibition in Calvin cycle activity.

Abstract
Chronic heart failure is a worldwide cause of mortality and morbidity and is the final outcome of a number of different etiologies. This reflects both the complexity of the disease and our incomplete understanding of its underlying molecular mechanisms. One experimental approach to address this is to study subcellular organelles and how their functions are activated and synchronized under physiological and pathological conditions. In this review, we discuss the application of proteomic technologies to organelles and how this has deepened our perception of the cellular proteome and its alterations with heart failure. The use of proteomics to monitor protein quantity and posttranslational modifications has revealed a highly intricate and sophisticated level of protein regulation. Posttranslational modifications have the potential to regulate organelle function and interplay most likely by targeting both structural and signaling proteins throughout the cell, ultimately coordinating their responses. The potentials and limitations of existing proteomic technologies are also discussed emphasizing that the development of novel methods will enhance our ability to further investigate organelles and decode intracellular communication.

Abstract
Oxidative stress can result in the reversible oxidation of protein thiols. Because the activity of numerous proteins is sensitive to thiol oxidation, this has the potential to affect many cellular functions. We describe a highly sensitive, quantitative labeling technique that measures global and specific protein thiol oxidative state in skeletal muscle tissue. The technique involves labeling the reduced and oxidized protein thiols with different fluorescent dyes. The resulting sample is assayed using a 96-well plate fluorimeter, or individual protein bands are separated using SDS-PAGE. We show that artifactual oxidation during sample preparation and analysis has the potential to confound results, and techniques to prevent this are described. We tested the technique by analyzing the muscles of mdx and c57 mice and found that the muscles of mdx mice were significantly (p<0.05) more oxidized (13.1±1.5% oxidized thiols) than those of c57 mice (8.9±0.7% oxidized thiols). This technique provides an effective means to measure the extent to which oxidative stress affects the oxidation of protein thiols in biological tissues.

Abstract
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis has been instrumental in the birth and developments of proteomics, although it is no longer the exclusive separation tool used in the field of proteomics. In this review, a historical perspective is made, starting from the days where two-dimensional gels were used and the word proteomics did not even exist. The events that have led to the birth of proteomics are also recalled, ending with a description of the now well-known limitations of two-dimensional gels in proteomics. However, the often-underestimated advantages of two-dimensional gels are also underlined, leading to a description of how and when to use two-dimensional gels for the best in a proteomics approach. Taking support of these advantages (robustness, resolution, and ability to separate entire, intact proteins), possible future applications of this technique in proteomics are also mentioned.

Abstract
The present study was initiated to define the composition of the membrane proteome of the Natural Killer (NK) like cell line YTS. Isolated membranes were treated with reagents that have been reported to remove peripheral membrane proteins. Additional steps involving trifluoroethanol (TFE) were introduced in an effort to remove remaining nonintegral membrane proteins. This treatment resulted in the release of a subset of proteins without any apparent disruption of membrane integrity. The membranes were solubilized and digested with trypsin in 25% TFE. The resulting peptides were separated using an off-line two-dimensional reversed phase LC technique at alkaline and acidic pHs. Mass spectrometric analysis identified 1843 proteins with high confidence scores. On the basis of the presence of transmembrane regions or evidence of posttranslational modifications and prediction algorithms, approximately 40% of the identified proteins were predicted as plausible membrane proteins. The remaining species were largely involved in cellular processes and molecular functions that could be predicted to be transiently associated with membranes. The analytical approaches presented in this study offer robust generic methods for the identification and characterization of membrane proteins. These observations highlight the fact that the membrane is a dynamic entity that is composed of integral and stably associated proteins.

Abstract
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) continues to be a useful approach to study protein expression. Although liquid chromatographic and mass spectrometric approaches that overcome some of the limitations and labour intensity of 2DGE are increasingly popular, this electrophoretic approach still has exceptional relevance in toxicology. Despite the technical challenges, pharmacologists/toxicologists continue to use gel-based proteomics to assess the biological and health effects of chemical treatment and exposure. This brief review addresses the use of 2DGE-based proteomics in drug development and toxicology, emphasising its unique strengths and weaknesses, and considers recent developments in this strategy that have evolved to directly confront the issues of dynamic range and reproducibility that have previously limited the overall use of 2D electrophoresis.

Abstract
There is intense interest in comprehensive proteomic approaches for analyzing integral membrane proteins and lipoproteins. Key features of mass spectrometric analysis center on enriching biological material for proteins of interest, efficiently digesting them, extracting the resulting peptides, and using fractionation methods to comprehensively sample proteins or peptides by tandem mass spectrometry. However, lipid-associated proteins are generally rich in hydrophobic domains and are often low in abundance. These features, together with the associated lipid, make their mass spectrometric analysis technically challenging. In this article, we review analytical strategies for successful proteomic analysis of lipid-associated proteins.

Abstract
2-Oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH) is the first and rate-limiting component of the multienzyme OGDH complex (OGDHC) whose malfunction is associated with neurodegeneration. The essential role of this complex in the degradation of glucose and glutamate, which have specific significance in brain, raises questions about the existence of brain-specific OGDHC isoenzyme(s). We purified OGDHC from extracts of brain or heart mitochondria using the same procedure of poly(ethylene glycol) fractionation, followed by size-exclusion chromatography. Chromatographic behavior and the insufficiency of mitochondrial disruption to solubilize OGDHC revealed functionally significant binding of the complex to membrane. Components of OGDHC from brain and heart were identified using nano-high performance liquid chromatography electrospray tandem mass spectrometry after trypsinolysis of the electrophoretically separated proteins. In contrast to the heart complex, where only the known OGDH was determined, the band corresponding to the brain OGDH component was found to also include the novel 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase-like (OGDHL) protein. The ratio of identified peptides characteristic of OGDH and OGDHL was preserved during purification and indicated comparable quantities of the two proteins in brain. Brain OGDHC also differed from the heart complex in the abundance of the components, lower apparent molecular mass and decreased stability upon size-exclusion chromatography. The functional competence of the novel brain isoenzyme and different regulation of OGDH and OGDHL by 2-oxoglutarate are inferred from the biphasic dependence of the overall reaction rate versus 2-oxoglutarate concentration. OGDHL may thus participate in brain-specific control of 2-oxoglutarate distribution between energy production and synthesis of the neurotransmitter glutamate.

Abstract
The separation of integral and peripheral membrane proteins is still a challenge, although many achievements have been made in the 2-DE-based membrane proteomics. Using a human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, we investigated the influences of Tris, reducing reagents, cup loading, and SDS on membrane protein solubilization and separation by 2-DE. The addition of Tris to the sample solution improved the solubilization of the membrane-enriched fraction, and the best-quality gel patterns were obtained at 20 mM Tris. Tributylphosphine (TBP), a reducing agent, was not optimum in the 2-DE process because it not only decreased the solubilization of hydrophobic proteins but also caused some proteins, such as hsp60, prohibitin, and actin, to be resolved to a string of spots. However, when combined with DTT, TBP could improve the resolution of 2-DE patterns. Cup loading significantly facilitated the entrance of membrane proteins into IPG strips and over 1000 protein spots with high resolution were visualized. Adopting this strategy, an ATP synthase alpha chain was resolved into two adjacent spots for the first time in 2-DE gel patterns through the adding DTT in the middle of the IEF. A high SDS concentration in the equilibration buffer enhanced the transfer and increased the staining intensity of 50% of the protein spots in the gels, but also resulted in losses of some spots.

Abstract
Sarcolipin (SLN) is a small molecular weight sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane protein expressed both in cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues. Recent studies using transgenic mouse models have demonstrated that SLN is an important regulator of cardiac SR Ca2+ ATPase 2a (SERCA2a). However, there is a paucity of information regarding the SLN protein expression in small versus larger mammals and its regulation during development and cardiac pathophysiology. Therefore, the major goal of this study was to generate an SLN specific antibody and perform detailed analyses of SLN protein expression during muscle development and in the diseased myocardium. The important findings of the present study are: (i) in small mammals, SLN expression is predominant in the atria but low in the ventricle and in skeletal muscle tissues, whereas in large mammals, SLN is quite abundant in skeletal muscle tissues than the atria, (ii) SLN and SERCA2a are co-expressed in all striated muscle tissues studied except ventricle and co-ordinately regulated during muscle development and (iii) SLN protein levels are approximately 3 fold upregulated in the atria of heart failure dogs and approximately 30% decreased in the atria of hearts prone to myocardial ischemia. In addition we found that in the phospholamban null atria, SLN protein levels are upregulated.

Abstract
Sample preparation is one of the most crucial processes in proteomics research. The results of the experiment depend on the condition of the starting material. Therefore, the proper experimental model and careful sample preparation is vital to obtain significant and trustworthy results, particularly in comparative proteomics, where we are usually looking for minor differences between experimental-, and control samples. In this review we discuss problems associated with general strategies of samples preparation, and experimental demands for these processes.

Abstract
The protein analysis of structural tissues is typically highly problematic. Amniotic membrane displays unique wound healing and anti-scarring properties; however, little is known concerning its active protein content. The structural nature of amniotic membrane necessitated development and extensive optimisation of the entire two-dimensional (2-D) workflow. Proteins were extracted using powerful solubilisation buffers and analysis carried out using 2-D electrophoresis followed by mass spectrometry (MS) identification. Preservation and processing resulted in prefractionation of soluble from structural and membrane-associated proteins. Enhanced protein solubility was achieved by cysteine blocking using both N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA) alkylation and bis(2-hydroxyethyl) disulphide (HED); an alternative procedure for the effective application of HED is demonstrated. The benefits of precipitation and cup-loading versus in-gel rehydration were also assessed, with procedures for the employment of HED with the latter described. Following optimisation, a representative sample 21 proteins were identified from amniotic membrane using MS verify procedures were MS-compatible. Our results demonstrate that techniques for the reproducible separation of proteins from a proteinaceous structural tissue have been optimised. Briefly, proteins are extracted using a thiourea/urea extraction buffer containing carrier ampholytes, dithiothreitol (DTT), and 3-(cyclohexylamino)-1-propanesulfonic acid (CHAPS). After DMA alkylation, proteins were precipitated (using the 2-D clean-up kit from Amersham Biosciences) and resolubilised in extraction buffer containing a lower concentration of DTT. Samples were either cup-loaded onto rehydrated HED-containing strips or rebuffered into HED-containing buffer followed by in-gel rehydration.
