Calpain 8 as a potential biomarker regulates the progression of pancreatic cancer via EMT and AKT/ERK pathway
J Proteomics. 2024 Apr 30:105182. doi: 10.1016/j.jprot.2024.105182. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCalpain is a non-lysozyme, calcium-dependent intracellular cysteine protease that has been shown to play a role in tumor proliferation, survival, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. Dysregulation of calpain expression is closely related to tumorigenesis. However, the role of calpain-8 (CAPN8), as a member of the calpain family, in pancreatic cancer (PC) is remains unclear. In elucidating the mechanism of CAPN8 in PC, a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experiments were conducted. The TCGA database was used to ...

Comparative proteomics analysis of samples from hepatic cystic echinococcosis patients using data-independent acquisition approach
This study aimed to assess the specific proteins that are potential candidates for the development of a vaccine against E. granulosus. The data-independent acquisition approach was employed to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in E. granulosus samples. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was employed to identify several noteworthy proteins. Results: The DEPs in E. granulosus samples were identified (245 pericystic wall vs. parasite-free yellowish granuloma (PYG, 1725 PY vs. PYG, 2274 PN vs. PYG). Further examination of these distinct proteins...

Integrative proteomic and transcriptomic analysis in the female goat ovary to explore the onset of puberty
This study conducted the first transcriptomic and proteomic correlation analysis of pre-pubertal and pubertal goat ovaries and identified six significantly correlated molecules at both the gene and protein levels. Meanwhile, we were drawn to several molecules and signalling pathways that may play a regulatory role in the onset of puberty and reproduction by influencing reproductive-related gene expression, GnRH receptor signals, energy metabolism, ovarian hormone secretion, follicular development, and ovulation. This information contributed to identify potential biomarkers in pubertal goat ovaries, which was vital for pred...

Proteomic analysis revealed that the oomyceticide phosphite exhibits multi-modal action in an oomycete pathosystem
J Proteomics. 2024 Apr 24:105181. doi: 10.1016/j.jprot.2024.105181. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhytopathogenic oomycetes constitute some of the most devastating plant pathogens and cause significant crop and horticultural yield and economic losses. The phytopathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi causes dieback disease in native vegetation and several crops. The most commonly used chemical to control P. cinnamomi is the oomyceticide phosphite. Despite its widespread use, the mode of action of phosphite is not well understood and it is unclear whether it targets the pathogen, the host, or both. Resistance to phosphite is emergin...

Delineating molecular regulatory network of meat quality of longissimus dorsi indicated by transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomics analysis in rabbit
This study aims to investigate the potential regulatory network responsible for the meat quality using multi-omics to help developing better varieties. Slaughter performance and meat quality of Shuxing No.1 rabbit outperformed IRA rabbit according to the tested rabbit parameters. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially abundance proteins (DAPs) were involved in meat quality-related pathways, such as PI3K - Akt and MAPK signaling pathway. Only SMTNL1 and PM20D2 shared between DEGs and DAPs. Olfactory-sensitive undecanal, a differentially abundant metabolite (DAM) in volatilomics (vDAMs), correlated with all...

In this study, we systematically analyzed the dynamic molecular changes in response to the MsKat/MsCobB overexpression in mycobacteria at proteome and lysine acetylation level by using a TMT-based quantitative proteomic approach. Pathways related with glycolysis, degradation of branched chain amino acids, phosphotransferase system were affected after disturbance of the two regulates enzymes involved in lysine acetylation. We also proved that AMP-dependent synthetase Clp protease, ATP-dependent DNA/RNA helicases and citrate synthase was the substrate of MsKat according to our proteomic data and biological validation.
