Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia; however, mechanisms and biomarkers remain unclear. Here, we examined hippocampal CA4 dentate gyrus subfields, which are less studied in context AD pathology, post-mortem control tissue to identify possible biomarkers. We performed mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis combined with label-free quantification for identification differentially expressed proteins. identified 4,328 proteins, 113 showed more than 2-fold...

Normal pancreatic islet β-cells (PBCs) abundantly secrete insulin in response to elevated blood glucose levels, order maintain an adequate control of energy balance and homeostasis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying secretion are unclear. Improving our understanding glucose-stimulated (GSIS) under normal conditions is a prerequisite for developing better interventions against diabetes. Here, we aimed at identifying novel signaling pathways involved initial release from PBCs after...

Abstract The rapid evolution of mass spectrometry-based single-cell proteomics now enables the cataloging several thousand proteins from single cells. We investigated whether we could discover cellular heterogeneity beyond proteome, encompassing post-translational modifications (PTM), protein-protein interaction, and variants. By optimizing spectrometry data interpretation strategy to enable detection PTMs variants, have generated a high-definition dataset nuclear proteomic-states....

For the treatment of patients with prediabetes or diabetes, clinical evidence has emerged that β-cell function can be restored by glucose-lowering therapeutic strategies. However, little is known about molecular mechanisms underlying this functional adaptive behavior pancreatic β-cell. This study examines dynamic changes in protein expression and phosphorylation state associated (pro)insulin production secretory pathway mediated euglycemia to induce rest obese/diabetic db/db islet β-cells....

Altered nucleolar and ribosomal dynamics are key hallmarks of aging, but their regulation remains unclear. Building on the knowledge that conserved nuclear export receptor Exportin 1 (XPO-1/XPO1) modulates proteostasis life span, we systematically analyzed impact protein metabolism. Using transcriptomic subcellular proteomic analyses in nematodes, demonstrate XPO-1 nucleocytoplasmic distribution proteins involved ribosome function, including fibrillarin (FIB-1/FBL) RPL-11 (RPL11). Silencing...

Human chromosome 11 is the third gene-rich having 1304 protein-coding genes. According to GeneCards, this contains 240 genes related diseases, as it well known a disease-rich chromosome. Although there are many genes, proteomic identification ratio rather low. As model study, human hippocampal tissues from patients suffering Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy were prepared evaluate gene-centric statistics gene expression disorders of 11.

Although tandem mass tag (TMT)-based isobaric labeling has become a powerful approach for multiplexed protein quantitation, automating the workflow this technique not been easy to achieve widespread adoption. This is because preparation of TMT-labeled peptide samples involves multiple steps ranging from extraction, denaturation, reduction, and alkylation tryptic digestion, desalting, labeling, cleanup, all which require high level proficiency. The variability resulting processing inherently...
