Quantitative profiling brain proteomes revealed mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key feature in both aging and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the molecular signature that distinguishes pathological changes in the AD from healthy aging in the brain mitochondria remain poorly understood. In order to unveil AD specific mitochondrial dysfunctions, this study adopted a discovery-driven approach with isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) and label-free quantitative proteomics, and profiled the mitochondrial proteomes in human brain tissues of healthy and AD individuals. LC-MS/MS-based iTRAQ quantitative proteomics approach revealed differentially altered mitochondriomes that distinguished the AD's pathophysiology-induced from aging-associated changes. Our results showed that dysregulated
