- Proteomic Analysis of Urine in Rats Chronically Exposed to Fluoride(2011) KOBAYASHI, Claudia Ayumi Nakai; LEITE, Aline de Lima; SILVA, Thelma Lopes da; SANTOS, Lucilene Delazari dos; NOGUEIRA, Fabio Cesar Sousa; SANTOS, Keity Souza; OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo Cardoso de; PALMA, Mario Sergio; DOMONT, Gilberto Barbosa; BUZALAF, Marilia Afonso RabeloUrine is an ideal source of materials to search for potential disease-related biomarkers as it is produced by the affected tissues and can be easily obtained by noninvasive methods. 2-DE-based proteomic approach was used to better understand the molecular mechanisms of injury induced by fluoride (F-) and define potential biomarkers of dental fluorosis. Three groups of weanling male Wistar rats were treated with drinking water containing 0 (control), 5, or 50 ppm F- for 60 days (n = 15/group). During the experimental period, the animals were kept individually in metabolic cages, to analyze the water and food consumption, as well as fecal and urinary F excretion. Urinary proteome profiles were examined using 2-DE and Colloidal Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining. A dose-response regarding F- intake and excretion was detected. Quantitative intensity analysis revealed 8, 11, and 8 significantly altered proteins between control vs. 5 ppm F-, control vs. 50 ppm F- and 5 ppm F- vs. 50 ppm F- groups, respectively. Two proteins regulated by androgens (androgen-regulated 20-KDa protein and 0c-2,1-globulin) and one related to detoxification (aflatoxin-Bl-aldehyde-reductase) were identified by MALDI-TOF-TOF MS/MS. Thus, proteomic analysis can help to better understand the mechanisms underlying F- toxicity, even in low doses. 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

- Proteomic characterization of the multiple forms of the PLAs from the venom of the social wasp Polybia paulista(2011) SANTOS, Lucilene Delazari dos; MENEGASSO, Anally Ribeiro da Silva; PINTO, Jose Roberto Aparecido dos Santos; SANTOS, Keity Souza; CASTRO, Fabio Morato; KALIL, Jorge Elias; PALMA, Mario SergioThe phospholipases A(1) (PLA(1)s) from the venom of the social wasp Polybia paulista occur as a mixture of different molecular forms. To characterize the molecular origin of these structural differences, an experimental strategy was planned combining the isolation of the pool of PLAs from the wasp venom with proteomic approaches by using 2-D, MALDI-TOF-TOF MS and classical protocols of protein chemistry, which included N- and C-terminal sequencing. The existence of an intact form of PLA(1) and seven truncated forms was identified, apparently originating from controlled proteolysis of the intact protein; in addition to this, four of these truncated forms also presented carbohydrates attached to their molecules. Some of these forms are immunoreactive to specific-IgE, while others are not. These observations permit to raise the hypothesis that naturally occurring proteolysis of PLA(1), combined with protein glycosylation may create a series of different molecular forms of these proteins, with different levels of allergenicity. Two forms of PLA(2)s, apparently related to each other, were also identified; however, it was not possible to determine the molecular origin of the differences between both forms, except that one of them was glycosylated. None of these forms were immunoreactive to human specific IgE.
