Towards a standardized human proteome database: Quantitative proteome profiling of living cells

抄録

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Comparative proteome profiling, performed by two‐dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or multidimensional protein identification technology, usually relies on the relative comparison of samples of interest with respect to a reference. Currently, no standardized quantitative protein expression database of human cells, facilitating data comparisons between different laboratories, exists. Recently, we have published two‐dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis‐based techniques to assess absolute protein data comprising protein amounts, synthesis rates and biological half‐lives (<jats:italic>Mol. Cell. Proteomics</jats:italic> 2002, <jats:italic>1</jats:italic>, 528–537). Determination of protein amounts by fluorography of two‐dimensional gels was followed by the exact quantification of the amount of incorporated <jats:sup>35</jats:sup>S radiolabel. Here we demonstrate an application of this highly standardized method to quiescent human T cells, phythaemagglutinin‐stimulated T cells and Jurkat cells, a human T lymphoblast cell line. While the protein composition of quiescent T cells differed significantly compared to that of Jurkat cells, it was only slightly different compared to the activated T cells. Synthesis profile analyses demonstrated that activated T cells clearly differed from the quiescent cells, performing apparently almost like lymphoblast cells. The great sensitivity of this approach was further demonstrated with human umbilical vein endothelial cells treated for six hours with vascular endothelial growth factor. While no significant alteration of protein amounts was detected at all upon activation, the synthesis rate of several proteins was found to be more than doubled.</jats:p>
