ABSTRACT: Purpose
To explore and compare urine proteome changes among rat models by intraperitoneal injection with single bacteria and co-injection with two bacteria.Method
Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are two common human pathogens. Three rat models were established: (i) the intraperitoneal co-injection of E. coli and S. aureus model (ES model), (ii) intraperitoneal injection of E. coli model (E model), and (iii) intraperitoneal injection of S. aureus model (S model). Urinary proteomes on days 0, 1 and 2 of the three models were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).Results
A total of 111, 34 and 94 differential proteins were identified in the ES model, E model and S model, respectively. Among them, some differential proteins were reported to be associated with bacterial infection. Approximately 47% differential proteins in the E model overlapped with ES model, and 37% differential proteins in the S model overlapped with ES model. Compared with the E model and S model, a total of 71 unique differential proteins were identified in the ES model.Conclusion
Our results indicated that (1) the urine proteome could distinguish different bacterial intraperitoneal injections models and (2) the effects of co-injection with two bacteria on the urine proteome were not simple superposition of single injection.
