Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded Oral HPV Lesions from HIV Patients.

ABSTRACT: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with dysplastic changes in oral human papilloma virus (HPV) lesions, suggesting changes in keratinocytes. In the present study, we seek to identify proteomic changes in oral HPV lesions between HIV(+) and HIV(-) patients. While fresh tissues represent the most desirable samples for proteomic investigations, they are often difficult to obtain in large numbers under clinical settings. We therefore have developed a new method to identify protein changes in formalin fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) oral HPV lesions utilizing iTRAQ™ technology in conjunction with Liquid Tissue® sample preparation method. Using this method, we identified nine proteins that were differentially expressed in oral HPV lesions as a result of HIV infection. The quantitative proteomic method presented here will be valuable for others who plan to analyze FFPE tissues.

Project description:BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovial joints. Early intervention followed by early diagnosis can result in disease remission; however, both early stage diagnosis and provision of effective treatment have been impeded by the heterogeneity of RA, which details of pathological mechanism are unclear. Regardless of numerous investigations of RA by means of genomic and proteomic approaches, proteins interplaying in RA synovial tissues that contain various types of synoviocytes, are not yet sufficiently understood. Hence we have conducted an HPLC/mass spectrometry-based exploratory proteomic analysis focusing on synoviocyte lesions laser-microdissected (LMD) from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) synovial tissues (RA, n = 15; OA, n = 5), where those of Osteoarthritis (OA) were used as the control.ResultsA total of 508 proteins were identified from the RA and OA groups. With the semi-quantitative comparisons, the spectral index (SpI), log2 protein ratio (R SC ) based on spectral counting, and statistical G-test, 98 proteins were found to be significant (pair-wise p < 0.05) to the RA synovial tissues. These include stromelysin-1 (MMP3), proteins S100-A8 and S100-A9, plastin-2, galectin-3, calreticulin, cathepsin Z, HLA-A, HLA-DRB1, ferritin, neutrophil defensin 1, CD14, MMP9 etc.ConclusionsOur results confirmed the involvement of known RA biomarkers such as stromelysin-1 (MMP3) and proteins S100-A8 and S100-A9, and also that of leukocyte antigens such as HLA-DRB1. Network analyses of protein-protein interaction for those proteins significant to RA revealed a dominant participation of ribosome pathway (p = 5.91 × 10(-45)), and, interestingly, the associations of the p53 signaling (p = 2.34 × 10(-5)). An involvement of proteins including CD14, S100-A8/S100-A9 seems to suggest an activation of the NF-kB/MAPK signaling pathway. Our strategy of laser-microdissected FFPE-tissue proteomic analysis in Rheumatoid Arthritis thus demonstrated its technical feasibility in profiling proteins expressed in synovial tissues, which may play important roles in the RA pathogenesis.
