Proteomic analysis of selected oncohematological diseases

Oxidační stres je významným faktorem v karcinogenezi onkohematologických onemocnění, ovšem jeho role v patogenezi myelodysplastického syndromu (MDS) nebyla doposud objasněna. V této práci jsme stanovili oxidační status v plazmě MDS pacientů a sledovali změny proteomu (oxidační modifikace proteinů, interakce a vznik komplexů), ke kterým v plazmě MDS pacientů v důsledku oxidačního stresu dochází. Pomocí vysokoúčinné kapalinové chromatografie jsme stanovili hladiny celkového cysteinu, homocysteinu, cysteinylglycinu, glutathionu, dusitanů a dusičnanů v plazmě 61 MDS pacientů a 23 zdravých dárců. Oxidační stres u MDS pacientů prezentovaný signifikantně sníženými hladinami glutathionu a dusitanů a signifikantně zvýšenými hladinami ostatních aminothiolů nekoreloval s přetížením železem. Dále jsme naměřili zvýšené hladiny asymetrického dimethylargininu v séru pacientů středního věku s MDS, které souvisí s posttranslační modifikací arginylových zbytků proteinů. Nalezli jsme signifikantně zvýšenou hladinu karbonylovaných proteinů v plazmě MDS v porovnání se zdravými dárci. Pomocí hmotnostní spektrometrie jsme identifikovali pět S-nitrosylovaných proteinů krevních destiček u MDS pacientů a navrhli jsme soubor šestnácti plazmatických proteinů, z nichž některé mohou být s velkou pravděpodobností karbonylované v...Oxidative stress is an important factor in carcinogenesis of oncohematological diseases. However its role in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) remains unclear. In this study, we have determined the oxidative status and evaluated proteomic changes in plasma of MDS patients as a consequence of oxidative dysbalance (oxidative modifications, protein-protein interaction and complex forming). We measured the levels of total cysteine, homocysteine, cysteinyglycine, glutathione, nitrites and nitrates in the plasma from 61 MDS patients and 23 healthy donors using high performance liquid chromatography. Glutathione and nitrites levels reduced significantly while other aminothiols levels increased significantly in plasma of MDS patients. This association with oxidative stress did not correlate with iron overload. We also found enhanced levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine in serums of middle aged patients with MDS that correlate to posttranslational modifications of proteins arginyl residues. Furthermore, carbonylated proteins level was significantly elevated in MDS patients compared to healthy donors. Using mass spectrometry, 5 S-nitrosylated blood platelets proteins were identified in plasma and blood platelets of MDS patients and set of 16 plasma proteins with high probability of...Institute of Clinical and Experimental Haematology First Faculty of MedicineÚstav klinické a experimentální hematologie 1.

The Effect of Reagents Mimicking Oxidative Stress on Fibrinogen Function

Fibrinogen is one of the plasma proteins most susceptible to oxidative modification. It has been suggested that modification of fibrinogen may cause thrombotic/bleeding complications associated with many pathophysiological states of organism. We exposed fibrinogen molecules to three different modification reagents—malondialdehyde, sodium hypochlorite, and peroxynitrite—that are presented to various degrees in different stages of oxidative stress. We studied the changes in fibrin network formation and platelet interactions with modified fibrinogens under flow conditions. The fastest modification of fibrinogen was caused by hypochlorite. Fibers from fibrinogen modified with either reagent were thinner in comparison with control fibers. We found that platelet dynamic adhesion was significantly lower on fibrinogen modified with malondialdehyde and significantly higher on fibrinogen modified either with hypochlorite or peroxynitrite reflecting different prothrombotic/antithrombotic properties of oxidatively modified fibrinogens. It seems that, in the complex reactions ongoing in living organisms at conditions of oxidation stress, hypochlorite modifies proteins (e.g., fibrinogen) faster and more preferentially than malondialdehyde. It suggests that the prothrombotic effects of prior fibrinogen modifications may outweigh the antithrombotic effect of malondialdehyde-modified fibrinogen in real living systems

Plasma Levels of Aminothiols, Nitrite, Nitrate, and Malondialdehyde in Myelodysplastic Syndromes in the Context of Clinical Outcomes and as a Consequence of Iron Overload

The role of oxidative stress in the initiation and progression of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) as a consequence of iron overload remains unclear. In this study we have simultaneously quantified plasma low-molecular-weight aminothiols, malondialdehyde, nitrite, and nitrate and have studied their correlation with serum iron/ferritin levels, patient treatment (chelation therapy), and clinical outcomes. We found significantly elevated plasma levels of total, oxidized, and reduced forms of cysteine P<0.001, homocysteine P<0.001, and cysteinylglycine P<0.006 and significantly depressed levels of total and oxidized forms of glutathione P<0.03 and nitrite P<0.001 in MDS patients compared to healthy donors. Moreover, total (P=0.032) and oxidized cysteinylglycine (P=0.029) and nitrite (P=0.021) differed significantly between the analyzed MDS subgroups with different clinical classifications. Malondialdehyde levels in plasma correlated moderately with both serum ferritin levels (r=0.78, P=0.001) and serum free iron levels (r=0.60, P=0.001) and were significantly higher in patients with iron overload. The other analyzed compounds lacked correlation with iron overload (represented by serum iron/ferritin levels). For the first time our results have revealed significant differences in the concentrations of plasma aminothiols in MDS patients, when compared to healthy donors. We found no correlation of these parameters with iron overload and suggest the role of oxidative stress in the development of MDS disease

Ontogenic shifts in cellular fate are linked to proteotype changes in lineage-biased hematopoietic progenitor cells

The process of hematopoiesis is subject to substantial ontogenic remodeling that is accompanied by alterations in cellular fate during both development and disease. We combine state-of-the-art mass spectrometry with extensive functional assays to gain insight into ontogeny-specific proteomic mechanisms regulating hematopoiesis. Through deep coverage of the cellular proteome of fetal and adult lympho-myeloid multipotent progenitors (LMPPs), common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs), and granulocyte-monocyte progenitors (GMPs), we establish that features traditionally attributed to adult hematopoiesis are conserved across lymphoid and myeloid lineages, whereas generic fetal features are suppressed in GMPs. We reveal molecular and functional evidence for a diminished granulocyte differentiation capacity in fetal LMPPs and GMPs relative to their adult counterparts. Our data indicate an ontogeny-specific requirement of myosin activity for myelopoiesis in LMPPs. Finally, we uncover an ontogenic shift in the monocytic differentiation capacity of GMPs, partially driven by a differential expression of Irf8 during fetal and adult life
