Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fulfils the need to keep up with the high number of innovations in proteomics, and at the same time to warn the readers about the danger of manufacturers and scientists claims around new technologies. Mass spectrometry stands as the core technology in proteomics. The emerging field of targeted proteomics and its potential applications in the cardiovascular arena are also reviewed and discussed. A concluding section highilghts the promise of proteomics in the light of these recent developments.​ As this technique and its applications have undergone remarkable advances in the past years, recent updates on proteomic applications are covered. Another key concept revealed by proteomic technologies is that the extent of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) as well as their impact on the phenotype has been underestimated by pre-proteomics science. As such, part of the manual focuses on the emerging role of PTMs in basic cardiovascular sciences and in the clinics. In fact, there is an emerging consensus that the detailed annotation of protein PTMs could lead to a more in-depth representation of biological systems, translating into more specific targets for therapy as well as biomarkers. Moreover, a recent trend is so-called “targeted proteomics”. The approach was awarded the title of “Method of the Year” by Nature in 2013 (see the editorial by Vivien Marx in 1st issue of Nature in Jan 2013). According to a few proteomic scientists the emphasis should not be placed on generating long lists of proteins but lists of proteins with a true biological meaning.

Download or read book Defining the Human Heart Proteoform Landscape with Top Down Proteomics written by Trisha Tucholski and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Functional diversity in the heart proteome is attributed to the vast array of proteoforms arising from molecular processing events such as alternative splicing and post-translational modifications (PTMs). Given the importance of isoform switching and PTMs in the regulation of heart function and dysfunction, it is important to study the heart proteome at the proteoform level in our effort to understand heart health and disease. Top-down proteomics featuring high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) is a premier tool for studying proteoforms in biological systems. However, the high complexity and wide dynamic range of the heart proteome have precluded in-depth top-down proteomic analysis using conventional platforms. Moreover, studying large proteoforms (>60 kDa) with top-down proteomics is especially challenging due to reduced MS signal-to-noise ratio with increasing size combined with signal suppression caused by the co-elution of smaller, more abundant proteoforms. To improve coverage of the heart proteoform landscape and access large proteoforms by top-down proteomics, serial size-exclusion chromatography (sSEC) was introduced for size-based fractionation of complex protein mixtures. A two-dimensional separation platform coupling sSEC with reversed-phase chromatography and high-resolution MS expanded coverage of heart proteoforms and enabled the detection of those up to 223 kDa from heart tissue lysate (Chapter 3). Despite improved MS detection of large proteoforms, challenges associated with tandem MS (MS/MS) fragmentation and limitations in mass resolution still prevented their identification. Intact-mass analysis software relating experimental proteoform mass to a list of candidate proteoforms enabled interpretation of complex top-down proteomic data and facilitated the identification of large heart proteoforms, including the 140-kDa myosin binding protein C (Chapter 4). Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) MS has also provided a versatile platform for characterization of proteoforms, given its high mass resolving power and mass accuracy combined with multi-faceted fragmentation capabilities (Chapter 5). sSEC fractionation paired with top-down FT-ICR MS allowed for straightforward characterization of metabolic enzymes extracted from heart tissue (Chapter 6). Finally, top-down proteomics was applied to investigate the genotype-proteoform phenotype relationship in human hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the most common heritable heart disease (Chapter 7). We quantified contractile proteoforms in septal myectomy tissues from HCM patients and observed converging proteoform phenotypes, regardless of disease-causing mutation, suggesting that common pathways are activated during disease progression and underscoring the importance of proteoform-level analysis. Overall, the studies detailed in this dissertation have charted new territory in the heart proteoform landscape, especially for heart proteoforms with molecular weight above 60 kDa. sSEC-based top-down proteomics facilitated cataloging of heart proteoforms to aid future studies seeking to investigate proteoforms in heart health and disease (Chapter 8). Future applications of the technology detailed herein will expand on SEC-based techniques for top-down proteomics and adapt the technology to accommodate the study of protein interactomes and large proteoforms from minute samples, such as those obtained from patients with heart disease.

Download or read book Proteomics Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Applications written by Hubert Hondermarck and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human biology has now entered into a phase of post-genomics and it might not be an exaggeration to say that the major outcome of the human genome sequencing has finally been to open the way to the exploration of the proteome-proteomics. Proteins are the functional output of genes and there are two main expected outcomes from human proteomics. The first is to discover new molecular markers for early diagnosis and profiling of pathologies. The second is to decipher the intracellular signaling pathways leading to the initiation and progression of pathologies, for the identification of new targets and the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. This is clearly a promising challenge that this book explores through a series of ongoing experiences and projects representative of the new era in which biology and medicine have now entered.

Download or read book Cardiovascular Biomarkers written by David A. Morrow and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-04-28 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the four pages committed to a discussion of myocardial infarction in the first edition of Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine, published in 1950, there was no mention of use of the laboratory for management of patients. Thirty years later, when the first edition of Braunwald’s Heart Disease, A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine was published, 2 out of the 1943 pages in the text contained a discussion of the laboratory examinations in acute myocardial infarction. Our knowledge base of the multitude of ways that physicians can and should use the clinical chemistry laboratory has expanded dramatically since these classic texts were published. The nomenclature has changed: terms such as “cardiac enzymes” have given way to “cardiac biomarkers. ” The number of assays has multiplied, and the operating characteristics of available assays are impr- ing at a gratifying but dizzying rate. We now use biomarkers to diagnose cardiovascular diseases and also to frame our treatment strategies. Thus, there is a clear need for a scholarly compilation of the state of the art of cardiac biomarkers. Dr. David Morrow has expertly edited an authoritative book that answers this need. The 34 chapters in Cardiovascular Biomarkers: Pathophysiology and Disease Mana- ment were written by a group of individuals who are internationally recognized thought leaders and experts in clinical and laboratory medicine.
