Proteomic Analysis of Human Scleroderma Fibroblasts Response to Transforming Growth Factor-ß

Proteomics. Clinical Applications

Abstract

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by autoimmunity, vasculopathy and fibrosis. Fibrosis is due to an activation of fibroblasts by the transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß). This study investigates the proteomic response of SSc fibroblasts to TGF-ß. Skin fibroblasts from diffuse SSc patients and healthy controls (HC) are cultured with or without TGF-ß. Two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry (MS) combined with Ingenuity Pathway analysis (IPA) and Panther/David software analyze proteins differentially expressed between groups. Real-time cell analyzer (RTCA) assesses fibroblast proliferation and viability. Two-hundred-and-seventy-nine proteins are differentially expressed between groups. Principal component analysis shows significant differences between groups. IPA shows specific process networks such as actin cytoskeleton and integrin signaling. Panther and David software show predominant biological processes such as cellular and metabolic processes. TGF-ß enhances protein synthesis and protein pathways. IPA and RTCA suggest the involvement of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (Pi3K). That the proteome of fibroblasts differs between SSc patients and H...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Basal Ganglia Cerebrovascular Disease

Basal ganglia cerebrovascular disease is a condition where the blood vessels in the basal ganglia are damaged or malfunction. Discover the latest research on basal ganglia cerebrovascular disease here.

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
