Download or read book The Use of Stable Isotope Labeling with Amino Acids in Cell Culture SILAC to Study Ivermectin Mediated Molecular Pathway Changes in Human Ovarian Cancer Cells written by Xianquan Zhan and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) was to use isotopic essential amino acids to replace the original amino acids for cell culture and passage for 8,Äì10 generations, followed by mass spectrometry to identify proteins and the isotopic abundance difference to quantify proteins. SILAC can be used to characterize proteomic changes, and analyze protein turnover, protein interactions, and dynamic changes with quantitative accuracy, and high reproducibility. For this study, SILAC ,Äúlight,Äù (L-Lysine-2HCl [12C6, 14N2], L-Arginine-HCl [12C6, 14N4])- or ,Äúheavy,Äù (L-Lysine-2HCl [13C6, 15N2], L-Arginine-HCl [13C6, 15N4])-labeling RPMI 1640 medium was used to culture human ovarian cancer TOV-21G cells for 10 passages, followed by the treatment of 0.1% dimethylsulfoxide for 24 h and 20 ¬μM ivermectin for 24¬†h, respectively. The light- and heavy-isotope-labeled proteins were equally mixed (1:1) for digestion with trypsin. The tryptic peptide mixture was fractionated with liquid chromatography and analyzed with tandem mass spectrometry. In total, 4,447 proteins were identified in ivermectin-treated TOV-21G cells in relation to controls. Those proteins were enriched in 89 statistically significant signaling pathways and 62 statistically significant biological processes. These findings clearly demonstrated that SILAC quantitative proteomics was a useful and reliable method to study ivermectin-related proteomic changes in cancer cells, which in combination with molecular pathway networks and biological processes enrichments provided more comprehensive insights into molecular mechanisms of ivermectin in inhibiting TOV-21G cells.

Download or read book Quantitative Methods in Proteomics written by Katrin Marcus and published by Humana Press. This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein modifications and changes made to them, as well as the quantities of expressed proteins, can define the various functional stages of the cell. Accordingly, perturbations can lead to various diseases and disorders. As a result, it has become paramount to be able to detect and monitor post-translational modifications and to measure the abundance of proteins within the cell with extreme sensitivity. While protein identification is an almost routine requirement nowadays, reliable techniques for quantifying unmodified proteins (including those that escape detection under standard conditions, such as protein isoforms and membrane proteins) is not routine. Quantitative Methods in Proteomics gives a detailed survey of topics and methods on the principles underlying modern protein analysis, from statistical issues when planning proteomics experiments, to gel-based and mass spectrometry-based applications. The quantification of post-translational modifications is also addressed, followed by the “hot” topics of software and data analysis, as well as various overview chapters which provide a comprehensive overview of existing methods in quantitative proteomics. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, Quantitative Methods in Proteomics serves as a comprehensive and competent overview of the important and still growing field of quantitative proteomics.
