Transcription profiling of mouse knockouts vs wild type apoE knockout,apoA1 knockout, apoA1 transgene, apoB knockout, mice were fed normal vs artherogenic diets

ABSTRACT: Collect tissues from control C57kBL/6 and the following genetically engineered mice-apoE knockout,apoA1 knockout, apoA1 transgene, apoB knockout, LDLR knockout.Both male and female mice fed chow or atherogenic diet will be used. Animals from each group were pooled into 2 pools, one containing 4 mice and the other containing 5 mice

Project description:Background: Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common and severe complication of sepsis. While several studies have reported the proteomic alteration in plasma, urine, heart, etc. of sepsis, few research focused on the brain tissue. This study aims at discovering the differentially abundant proteins in the brains of septic rats to identify biomarkers of SAE. Methods: The Prague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sepsis (n = 6) or sham (n = 6) groups, and then the whole brain tissue was dissected at 24 h after surgery for further protein identification by TMT-LC–MS/MS-based proteomics. Ingenuity pathway analysis, Gene ontology knowledgebase, and STRING database are used to explore the biological significance of proteins with altered concentration. Results: Among the total of 3163 proteins identified in the brain tissue, 57 were increased while 38 were decreased in the sepsis group compared to the sham group. Bioinformatic analyses suggest that the differentially abundant proteins are highly related to cellular microtubule metabolism, energy production, nucleic acid metabolism, neurological disease, etc. Additionally, acute phase response signaling was possibly activated and PI3K/AKT signaling was suppressed during sepsis. An interaction network established by IPA revealed that Akt1, Gc-globulin, and ApoA1 were the core proteins. The increase of Gc-globulin and the decrease of Akt1 were confirmed by Western blot. Conclusions: Based on the multifunction of these proteins in several brain diseases, we first propose that Gc-globulin, ApoA1, PI3K/AKT pathway, and acute phase response proteins (hemopexin and cluster of alpha-2-macroglobulin) can potentially be diagnosis biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and prognosis indicators of SAE. These results may provide new insights into the pathologic mechanism of SAE, yet further research is required to explore the functional implications and clinical applications of the differentially abundant proteins in the brains of sepsis group.
