Identification of differentially expressed proteins between human esophageal immortalized and carcinomatous cell lines by two-dimensional electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF-mass spectrometry

摘要

AIM：To identify the differentially expressed proteins between the human immortalized seophageal epithelial cell line(SHEE)and the malignant transformed esophageal carcinoma cell line(SHEEC),and to explore new ways for studying esophageal carcinoma associated genes.METHODS:SHEE and SHEECcell lines were used to separate differentially expressed proteins by two-dimensionalelectrophoresis.The siler-stained2-Dgels was scanned with EDAS290 digital camera system and analyzed with the PDQuest6.2Software.Six spots in which the differentially expressed protein was more obviouw were selected and analyzed with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flying mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS).RESULTS:There were107±4.58and115±9.91orotein spots observed in SHEEand SHEEC respectively,and the majority of these spots between the two cell lines matched each other(r=0.772),only a few were expressed differentially.After analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MSand database search for the six differentially expressed proteins,One new protein as well as other five sequence-known proteins including RNPEP-like protein,human rRNA gene upstream sequence binding transcription factor,uracil DNAglycosylase,AnnexinA2 and p300/CBP-associated facto were preliminarily identified.CONCLUSION:These differentially expressed proteins might play an importance role during malignant transformation of SHEEC from SHEE.The identification of these proteins may serve as a new way for studying esophageal carcinoma associated genes.
