Plasma samples from 386 patients was classified into four groups: control (CON) (n=62), unstable angina (UA) (n=62), STEMI (n=182), and NSTEMI (n=80). The protein profiles were analyzed using data-independent acquisition (DIA)-based proteomics to identify differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) followed by bioinformatics analysis and ELISA validation. In STEMI, 93 DAPs were detected. Among the selected DAPs that were further validated in a new cohort of patients, prostaglandin-H2 D-isomerase (PTGDS) was elevated at the earliest onset time of STEMI (T1, 1.45h (95%CI: 1.16-1.73)) or NSTEMI (T1, 1.48h (95%CI: 0.97-1.98)) while the current biomarkers (hs-TnI, Myo, CKMB, and BNP) remained within normal ranges. The analysis of diagnostic indices for plasma PTGDS demonstrated a sensitivity of 63.95% and specificity of 65.38% in STEMI, 70% and 71.15% in NSTEMI. Moreover, AUC was 0.61 (95%CI: 0.53-0.69) in STEMI and 0.78 (95%CI: 0.70-0.86) in NSTEMI. The present study demonstrates that in MI patients, plasma PTGDS increases at an earlier stage of onset time than the current biomarkers with similar sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, PTGDS has high potential to be developed as an early diagnostic biomarker. In particular, PTGDS might be of greater clinical significance for patients suspected for NSTEMI, for which biomarker could be more effective in identifying high-risk patients suffering from MI at early stage.</p>","PeriodicalId":18712,"journal":{"name":"Molecular & Cellular Proteomics","volume":" ","pages":"100996"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144143004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrate our ability to detect and ID protein complexes and their proteoforms directly from native membranes using supercharger-assisted pre-quadrupole activation followed by downstream native top-down MS/MS that combines both collision-based and electron capture-based fragmentations approaches. We first demonstrated this approach through native top-down identification of several integral membrane proteins from in vitro membranes. Subsequently, we developed a protocol to produce nMS-ready native membrane vesicles. Applying to E. coli total membranes, we generated nMS-ready vesicles and identified both integral and membrane-associated protein complexes of homomeric and heteromeric nature using our supercharging-enabled nTD-platform. For the hetero-pentameric BAM-complex, which includes the integral membrane protein BAM-A, we detected several lipidated proteoforms.

Therefore, it is important to systematically understand the pathological mechanism of liver fibrosis and seek therapeutic approaches for intervention and treatment of liver fibrosis. Disordered proteins and their post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation, play vital roles in the occurrence and development of liver fibrosis. However, the regulatory mechanisms that govern this process remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed and quantified the liver proteome and phosphoproteome of carbon tetrachloride-induced early liver fibrosis model in mice. Proteomic analysis revealed that the pathways involved in extracellular matrix recombination, collagen formation, metabolism and other related disorders, and protein phosphorylation modification pathways were also significantly enriched. In addition, Western blotting and phosphoproteomics demonstrated that phosphorylation levels were elevated in the context of liver fibrosis. A total of 13,152 phosphosites were identified, with 952 sites increased, whereas only 156 sites decreased. Furthermore, the upregulated phosphorylation sites, which exhibited no change at the proteome level, mainly shared a common [xxxSPxxx] motif. Consequently, the kinase-substrate analysis ascertained the overactive kinases of these upregulated substrates, which ultimately led to the identification of 13 significantly altered kinases within this dataset. These kinases were mainly cataloged into the STE, CMGC, and CAMK kinase families. Among them, STK4 (serine/threonine-protein kinase 4), GSK3α (glycogen synthase kinase 3α), and CDK11B (cyclin-dependent kinase 11B) were subsequently validated though cellular and animal experiments, and the results demonstrated that their inhibitors could effectively reduce the activation of hepatic stellate cells and extracellular matrix production.

Ethanol increased the cytosolic protein turnover related to oxidative stress and detoxification, while reducing turnover of mitochondrial metabolic enzymes.

This review traces the 30-year evolution of top-down (TD) and middle-down (MD) mass spectrometry (MS) for antibody analysis, beginning with their initial applications and highlighting key advances and challenges throughout this period. TD MS allows for the analysis of intact antibodies, and MD MS performs analysis of the antibody subunits, even in complex biological samples. Both approaches preserve critical quality attributes such as sequence integrity, post-translational modifications (PTMs), disulfide bonds, and glycosylation patterns. Key milestones in TD and MD MS of antibodies include the use of structure-specific enzymes for subunit generation, the implementation of high-resolution mass spectrometers, and the adoption of non-ergodic ion activation methods such as electron transfer dissociation (ETD), electron capture dissociation (ECD), ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization in-source decay (MALDI-ISD). The combination of complementary dissociation methods and the use of consecutive ion activation approaches has further enhanced TD/MD MS performance. The current TD MS record of antibody sequencing with terminal product ions is about 60% sequence coverage obtained using the activated ion-ETD approach on a high-resolution MS platform. Current MD MS analyses with about 95% sequence coverage were achieved using combinations of ion activation and dissociation techniques.

Specifically, we define precise proteins and broad categories of remodeling that are common (i.e., reduction in photosynthesis) and exclusive (i.e., glycosyltransferase) to the cultivars and align with anticipated protective mechanisms. Moreover, we adapted an in vitro DON tolerance expression system and determined that induction of an ubiquinol oxidase (UniProt ID: A0A3B6B5K8) provides heightened protection for yeast growth relative to the negative control as well as increased protection compared to a well-defined DON detoxifying protein.
