Abstract
Oxidative stress is a widespread causative agent of disease. Together with its general relevance for biomedicine, such a dynamic is recognizably detrimental to space exploration. Among other solutions, cerium oxide nanoparticles (or nanoceria, NC) display a long-lasting, self-renewable antioxidant activity. In a previous experiment, we evaluated oxidative imbalance in rat myoblasts in space, aboard the International Space Station, and unveiled possible protective effects from NC through RNA sequencing. Here, we focus on the myoblast response to NC on land by means of proteomics, defining a list of proteins that putatively react to NC and confirming nucleosomes/histones as likely mediators of its molecular action. The proteomics data set we present here and its counterpart from the space study share four factors. These are coherently either up- (Hist1h4b) or down-regulated (Gnl3, Mtdh, Trip12) upon NC exposure.
