Abstract
The acid-insoluble salivary proteome obtained by addition of TFA to whole human saliva from adults, preterm and at-term newborns has been analysed by 2-DE in order to evidence differences among the three groups, and integrate data previously obtained on the acid-soluble fraction. 2-DE spots differentially expressed among the three groups were submitted to in-gel tryptic digestion and the peptide mixtures analysed by high resolution HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. By this strategy, we identified 3 over-expressed proteins in at-termnewborns with respect to preterm newborns and adults (BPI fold-containing family A member 1, annexin A1, and keratin type 1 cytoskeletal 13), and several over-expressed proteins in adults (fatty acid-binding protein, S100 A6, S100 A7, S100 A9, prolactin-inducible protein, Ig kappa chain, cystatin SN, cystatin S/SA and α-amylase 1). Four spots, already detected but not characterized by other authors in human saliva 2-DE,were attributed to different protein species of S100 A9 (long-type and long-type monophosphorylated, short-type and short-type monophosphorylated) by MS/MS analysis of tryptic peptides and sequential staining of 2-DE gels with Pro-Q Diamond, for specific detection of phosphoproteins, and total protein SYPRO Ruby stain. Significance: Differential protein expression analysis of the acid insoluble fraction of saliva from preterm, at-term newborns and adults has been performed in this study by coupling 2-DE analysis and high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry in order to complete the information previously obtained by top-down LC-MS only on the acid-soluble proteome. Several proteins identified in the acid insoluble fraction of both preterm newborn and adult saliva are not of glandular origin, being only prolactin-inducible protein, salivary cystatins, α-amylase and polymeric immunoglobulin receptor exclusive of salivary glands. Three proteins resulted increased in at-term newborns with respect to preterm newborns and adults: BPI foldcontaining family A member 1, two proteoforms of annexin A1 and keratin type 1 cytoskeletal 13, while several proteins were significantly increased in adults.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
