Objective: The study aimed to clarify the proteomic characteristics of lung tissue under cold exposure. Methods: Forty mice were randomly equally divided into a control group and a model group. The model group was exposed to - 20 °C for two weeks (4 hours per day), while the control group was maintained at 22 ± 2 °C. H&E staining and ELISA were used to verify the injury of lung tissue. Furthermore, a quantitative analysis of the overall proteome in the lung of mice exposed to cold stress was conducted by using LC-MS/MS. 15 differentially expressed proteins were selected for PRM validation. Results: According to our results, cold exposure induced lung injury, and the expressions of 151 proteins were upregulated and those of 95 proteins were downregulated. Bioinformatics analysis showed that differentially expressed proteins were associated with tricarboxylic acid cycle, fat metabolism, glycolysis, and oxidative phosphorylation. The expression of gabra2, Klkb1, and complement-related proteins was significantly upregulated. The results of PRM validation were consistent with those of proteomics. Conclusion: We found changes in glycolysis, gabra2, Klkb1, and the complement system in the lung tissue of cold-stressed mice, which may play an important role in cold stress-induced lung injury","PeriodicalId":50601,"journal":{"name":"Current Proteomics","volume":"6 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134910347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: LncRNAs are exceedingly implicated in the pathogenesis of NSCLC. Herein, the current study set out to illustrate the molecular mechanism of SH3BP5-AS1 in NSCLC cells. Methods: SH3BP5-AS1 expression in clinical NSCLC tissues and its impact on prognosis were analyzed by bioinformatics database. SH3BP5-AS1 expression patterns in NSCLC cell lines (A549/H1299/H1975/H460) and human normal lung epithelial cell lines (BEAS-2B) were examined by RT-qPCR. SH3BP5-AS1 was overexpressed in A549 or silenced in H1975 cells through transfection to assess its effect on proliferation, cell cycle distribution, and apoptosis, apoptosisrelated protein (Cleaved Caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2) levels, invasive, migratory, and healing capacity through CCK-8, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, Western blot, Transwell, and cell scratch test. Results: SH3BP5-AS1 was under-expressed in NSCLC clinical tissues, and NSCLC patients with low SH3BP5-AS1 expression showed poor prognosis. A549/H1299/H1975/H460 cells had reduced levels of SH3BP5-AS1, with the relative level lowest/highest expression in A549/H1975 cells, respectively. SH3BP5-AS1 overexpression repressed A549 cell proliferation, slowed down cell cycle progression, enhanced apoptosis, elevated Cleared Caspase-3, Bax, suppressed Bcl-2 protein levels, and inhibited migratory, invasive, and scratch healing capacities, while SH3BP5-AS1 silencing brought about the opposite results in H1975 cells. Conclusion: SH3BP5-AS1 could suppress NSCLC cell proliferation, slow down cell cycle progression, stimulate apoptosis, and limit invasion and migration.","PeriodicalId":50601,"journal":{"name":"Current Proteomics","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138816628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is one of the leading causes of death among women worldwide. The incidence of ovarian cancer ranks third, and mortality is the first among gynecological malignant tumors. CCL2 (Chemokine C-C motif Ligand 2) is associated with the progression of a variety of tumors, including ovarian cancer. However, the mechanism of CCL2 in A2780 cell growth has not been clarified. Method: In this study, we found that exogenous CCL2 promoted A2780 cell activity. RNA sequencing was used to identify the transcriptomic changes in CCL2-treated A2780 cells. Based on a p-value less than 0.05 and |log2 Fold Change| greater than 1, 190 differentially expressed genes were selected. Of these genes, 82 were observed to be upregulated and 108 downregulated. Result: The GO (gene ontology) analysis of differentially expressed genes was used to identify the underlying functions and biological processes. In addition, the expression of the topmost upregulated genes was verified by qPCR.

Arguments for and against DBS are presented by discussing technological advances, particularly those related to mass spectrometry (MS) and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), sample preparation issues, disease biomarkers, pharmacoki-netics, and pharmacodynamics. There will be a focus on proteomic studies that rely on DBS as a sampling method. In this context, numerous studies on the diagnosis and treatment of several diseases. To date, proteomic reports of studies using DBS have shown that DBS can facilitate diagnosis and prognosis. DBS offers several advantages that make it a viable op-tion for many fields. Moreover, some of its disadvantages can be easily overcome through automation to increase reproducibility and reduce protocol variability and standardization of parameters such as the volume of sample used.
