摘要
Objective:The aim of the study was to screen differentially expressed proteins between left-and right-sided colon cancers by proteomics techniques and provide molecular genetic basis for oncobiological difference between left-and rightsided colon cancers.Methods:Tissue samples including left-and right-sided colon cancers were collected and preserved in the-80 ℃ refrigeratory.In the first part of our experiment,protein separating was performed by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE) and the images of the gels were acquired by the scanner and then analyzed to find the differentially expression protein-spots in different groups.The peptide mass fingerprintings(PMF) was acquired by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS) and the proteins were identified by data searching in the Mascot-database.Differentially expression proteins were assayed by RT-PCR,Western blot,and immunohistochemical methods.Results:The 55 differentially expressed protein spots were screened and 23 spots of them were identified.Compared to right-sided colon cancer,15 proteins up-regulated and 8 proteins down-regulated including HSP27 in left-sided colon cancer.HSP27 expressed higher in right-sided than in left-sided colon cancers by RT-PCR,Western blot and immunohistochemical methods.Conclusion:There were differentially expressed proteins between left-and right-sided colon cancers,especially differences in HSP27 expression in mRNA and protein level,which were molecular genetic basis for oncobiological difference between left-and right-sided colon cancers.
