Proteome Profiling of Rat Brain Cortical Changes during Early Postnatal Brain Development.

ABSTRACT: Label-free quantitation (LFQ) was applied to proteome profiling of rat brain cortical development during the early postnatal period. Male and female rat brain extracts were prepared using a convenient, detergent-free sample preparation technique at postnatal days (PND) 2, 8, 15, and 22. The PND protein ratios were calculated using Proteome Discoverer, and the PND protein change profiles were constructed separately for male and female animals for key presynaptic, postsynaptic, and adhesion brain proteins. The profiles were compared to the analogous profiles assembled from the published mouse and rat cortex proteomic data, including the fractionated-synaptosome data. The PND protein-change trendlines, Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC), and linear regression analysis of the statistically
