Phosphoproteomic analysis of differential expression of AGS cellular proteins in response to Helicobanter pyiori infection

Abstract

Objective To research the differential expression of trace phosphorylated proteins in human gastric adenocarcinoma epithelial (AGS) cells infected by Helicobacter pylori. Methods H. pylori 26695 strain infected AGS cells 4 h and AGS cells was cultivated for 4 h as a comparison. The proteins of AGS and comparison AGS cells were extracted. Their phosphorylated proteins were enriched by metal ion af-finity adsorption enrichment techniques. After desalinated and purified the phosphorylated proteins samples were separated by 2-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE) technique. Computer assisted image analysis was used to analyze the differential proteomic expression. The significantly differentially ex-pressed proteins were unambiguously assigned identities by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF). Results Fifteen kinds of proteins were down-regulated, 4 kinds of new proteins were observed, 1 kind of proteins were up-regulated, 1 kind of proteins unexpression. The 21 proteins that were significantly differentially expressed , including cellular calcium ion homeostasis, transcription, interpretation, protein folding and transport, ribosomal assembly, centrosome replication, chromosome stability, cellular structure, cellular proliferation and apoptosis. Conclusion H. priori can cause a wide range change to human gastric adenocarcinoma epithelial cell protein pheshorylation. This change character has great significance to further comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis of H. pylori.
