[The complex diagnostic of deviation in development of children of the first years of life in conditions of polyclinic].

The comprehensive diagnosis of abnormalities of development of children during the first years of life is one of the most important targets and the first stage of system of early medical care based on the intersectoral interaction of the experts. The health care facilities play paramount role in identifying children at risk, including ones born with signs of perinatal damage of central nervous system. The article presents results of the experimental study of efficiency of common diagnostic methods of development of children during the first years of life in conditions of polyclinic services. The article also proves the necessity of complementing actual diagnostic instruments by new methods of diagnostic based on complex evaluation of main parameters of psychomotor development of children that will result in timely diagnostic and inclusion of children of risk group to the system of early medical care.

[Comparative Analysis of the Performance of Mascot and IdentiPy Algorithms on a Benchmark Dataset Obtained by Tandem Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Testicular Biopsies].

Proteome profiling of human testicular biopsies was performed using tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization. Protein identification results were compared for the Mascot commercial search engine, the SearchGUI noncommercial package, and their analog IdentiProt based on the open-source IdentiPy algorithm (http://hg.theorchromo.ru/identipy). A feature of IdentiPy is an automatic optimization of MS/MS search parameters. A set of protein identifications obtained with IdentiPy was consequently greater by one third than the sets with the other search engines. For the first time, an IdentiPy/IdentiProt search was conducted within the Progenesis LC-MS framework, which allows spectrum alignment, and the proteome profile obtained with alignment was compared with that obtained using the ProteoWizard converter. A total of 16 human chromosome 18 proteins were identified, including the myelin basic protein, which is not characteristic of testicular tissue.

Analysis of Blood Plasma Protein Composition in Patients with Cerebral Ischemia.

Blood plasma proteome in patients with cerebral ischemia and healthy individuals was studied using comparative proteomic analysis based on tandem HPLC-MS/MS. Mass spectra were analysed in an automated mode using Progenesis LS-MS software and 256 proteins were identified. Significant quantitative differences were revealed for 20 proteins. It was found that changes in the blood plasma proteome in subjects with cerebral ischemia involved a wide range of proteins: molecular chaperones, fibrinolysis, angiogenesis, and immune system proteins, proteins involved in homeostasis maintenance, cell differentiation and proliferation, regulators of apoptosis, and cytoskeleton proteins.

[Proteome of the human HaCaT keratinocytes: Identification of the oxidative stress proteins after sodium dodecyl sulpfate exposur].

Oxidative stress is a universal response of the skin cell damage of various origins. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, sodium lauryl sulfate) is an anionic surfactant commonly used as an emulsifying detergent in household cleaners. Sodium dodecyl sulfate is the reference compound for testing toxicity on cellular skin models. The effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate in sub toxic dose 25 µg/mL during 48 h on the protein profile of human keratinocytes HaCaT was studied by tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization. In total, 1064 proteins were found in immortalized human keratinocytes HaCaT, of which about 80% were identified by two or more peptides. The change of the 217 proteins content was revealed, among them 39 according to Gene Ontology are associated with oxidative stress. It has been found that sodium dodecyl sulfate leads to a decrease in the number of proteins/peptides containing carboxymethylated and/or carboxyethylated lysine. We concluded about the promising of the cells redox-balance analysis at testing chemicals in the doses, which do not lead to a decrease in their viability. Possible involvement of sodium dodecyl sulfate in the development of cutaneous neoplasia is discussed.

[Proteomic profiling of HaCaT keratinocytes exposed to skin damaging detergents]. / Proteomnoe profilirovanie keratinotsitov linii HaCaT pri vozdeistvii riada poverkhnostno-aktivnykh veshchestv, vyzyvaiushchikh povrezhdenie kozhi.

The effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate (25 mg/ml) and Triton X-100 (12.5 mg/ml and 25 mg/ml) on the HaCaT immortalized keratinocytes exposed to these surfactants for 48 h were studied. Using shotgun proteomics, a comparative analysis of the proteomic profiles of control and experimental cells after surfactants exposure was carried out. 260 common proteins were identified in control and experimental cells; 33 proteins were found in cells exposed to all three treatments, but not in control cells. These 33 proteins apparently reflect a nonspecific (universal) response of cells to toxic damage by the surfactants. These proteins are associated with activation of cell proliferation, changes in the functional activity of their ER and mitochondria, increased mRNA stability and activation of protein degradation processes in the cells. The possibility of using these proteins as a nonspecific parameter of cell response to cytotoxic damage is discussed. The mass spectrometry proteomics data ("raw", "mgf" and "xml" files) have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the PRIDE partner repository with the dataset identifiers PXD007789 and PXD007776.

[Comparative proteome analysis of blood plasma of patients with early-stage chronic cerebral ischemia]. / Sravnitel'nyi analiz proteoma plazmy krovi bol'nykh na rannei stadii khronicheskoi tserebral'noi ishemii.

In the present study, we explored the technology of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) for the proteome analysis of blood plasma of patients with early chronic cerebral ischemia. Analysis of mass-spectrometer data carried out in automatic mode using the software Progenesis LS-MS. As a result of this study identified 43 proteins. The differences identified in the study group compared with the control in 7 proteins. It was found that in the early stages of chronic cerebral ischemia proteome changes in blood plasma affect proteins related to the immune system, the system for the maintenance of hemostasis and lipid metabolism.

[Analysis of proteomic profile changes of zebrafish embryos during exposure to doxorubicin, built-in the phospholipid transport nanosystem].

The proteome profile of Danio rerio embryos grown in the medium containing doxorubicin, included in the phospholipid transport nanosystem (doxolip) has been investigated using combination of 1D-electrophoresis with subsequent MALDI-TOF-PMF mass spectrometry. Cultivation of growing of D. rerio embryos in the medium with doxolip caused a substantial increase in expression of the cytoskeletal proteins, a decrease in the number of nuclear proteins involved in DNA and RNA synthesis and disappearance of vitellogenin 2 in comparison with control (the cultivation medium containing the phospholipid transport nanosystem). Analysis of the proteomic profiles of doxolip-treated embryos suggests lower toxicity of doxorubicin incorporated in the phospholipid nanosystem.

Effects of fullerene C60 on proteomic profile of Danio rerio fish embryos.

The effects of phosphatidylcholine-based phospholipid nanoparticles containing fullerene C60 on Danio rerio fish embryos were studied. Exposure of the embryos with the nanoparticles for 48 h did not lead to appreciable changes in the number of protein bands in SDS-PAGE in comparison with the control (exposure in medium with phosphatidylcholine). Mass spectrometric identification of proteins showed differences in the proteomic profiles of the samples. The content of vitellogenins changed after exposure with phosphatidylcholine-based nanoparticles with C60 fullerenes. This could indicate low toxicity of the nanoparticles towards D. rerio embryos under experimental conditions.

[Study of proteomic profile of Danio rerio embryos using one-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry].

In the present study, a proteomic technology combining one-dimensional gel electrophoresis (1DE) with subsequent mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-PMF) has been successfully applied for revelation of changes in the protein profile of zebrafish (Danio rerio) 52 hpf embryos. Prior to 1DE separation of zebrafish embryonic proteins, the procedure for obtaining embryos homogenate was optimized by ultrasonic treatment. A total of 84 proteins, including 15 vitellogenins, were identified. It was shown that growing ofzebrafish embryos in the medium with doxorubicin (DOX) stimulated Caspase-3 induction and promoted the disappearance of cardiac troponins, both these findings being consistent with literature data on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. The 1DE-based proteomic mapping approach proposed herein enabled not only to identify proteins but also to register those changes in embryos' proteomic profile that were caused by doxorubicin.

One-dimensional proteomic mapping of human liver cytochromes p450.

A method for constructing one-dimensional proteomic maps (1D-PM) based on mass spectrometric identification of proteins from adjacent slices of one-dimensional electrophoregram has been developed. For the proteomic mapping, gel lanes were sectioned into slices less than 0.2 mm thick and each slice was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis. The resultant mixture of peptide fragments was analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) and liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Proteins were identified by the mass spectra obtained. Data on peptide fragments and corresponding identified proteins were presented as a 1D-PM. Proteomic maps were constructed by assigning individual proteins to gel slices based on number of matching peptides in a corresponding MS-data. On 1D-PM of human liver microsomal fraction, 18 proteins were identified in the region of 40-65 kDa. These included 12 membrane proteins belonging to the superfamily of cytochromes P450. Pooling of mass spectrometric data, obtained from several adjacent gel slices (molecular zooming) increased sequence coverage of CYP2A (cytochrome P450 family 2A). The maximal coverage of 66% significantly exceeded the level of 48% that could be obtained using one (even the most informative) slice. This method can be applied to the proteomic profiling of membrane-bound proteins.
