Gender- and Age-Based Characterization and Comparison of the Murine Primary Peritoneal Mesothelial Cell Proteome.

ABSTRACT: Organs in the abdominal cavity are covered by a peritoneal membrane, which is comprised of a monolayer of mesothelial cells (MC). Diseases involving the peritoneal membrane include peritonitis, primary cancer (mesothelioma), and metastatic cancers (ovarian, pancreatic, colorectal). These diseases have gender- and/or age-related pathologies; however, the impact of gender and age on the peritoneal MC is not well evaluated. To address this, we identified and characterized gender- and age-related differences in the proteomes of murine primary peritoneal MC. Primary peritoneal MC were isolated from young female (FY) or male (MY) mice (3-6 months) and aged female (FA) or male (MA) mice (20-23 months), lysed, trypsin digested using S-Traps, then subjected to bottom-up proteomics using an LC-Orbit
