乙腈预处理血清寻找肝细胞癌发病相关的蛋白质

“…【目的】 应用乙腈(ACN)预处理血清的方法,对肝细胞癌(HCC)患者的血清进行蛋白质组分析,寻找与HCC发病相关的蛋白质65377; 【方法】 收集原发性HCC患者和健康人的血清各12例,首先使用乙腈预处理,然后去除白蛋白和免疫球蛋白等高丰度蛋白质,再进行双向电泳(2-DE)分析,筛选HCC与健康对照血清中有显著性差异的蛋白质斑点,并进行MALDI-TOF/TOF质谱鉴定65377; 【结果】 血清经0%65380;20%和30%浓度的乙腈预处理后,进行2-DE分析发现蛋白质斑点的检出数量分别为532 ± 9665380;623 ± 102和674 ± 123;对预处理后HCC患者和正常人的血清进行差异分析,发现甲状腺素(Tetraiodo-L-Thyronine)和Proapolipoprotein的表达上调,而维生素D结合蛋白(Vitamin D-binding Protein)和铁传递蛋白(Transferrin)的表达下调65377; 【结论】 对血清样本的蛋白质组分析,应用乙腈预处理会增加与白蛋白非特异性结合的蛋白质的检出;HCC患者血清中甲状腺素等4个蛋白的表达异常与HCC相关65377;…”
