Objective:
To get a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying type 1 diabetes mellitus, the differentially expressed pancreatic proteins from multiple low-dose streptozotocin (MLD-SIZ) mouse and normal mouse were analyzed and compared.
Methods:
20 male rats were separated into 2 groups (n=10): model mice treated with MLD-STZ and normal mice,differences of pancreatic proteome among in the two groups of mice, were analyzed by two dimensional polyacryamide gel electrophoresis (2DE). Protein quantification was analyzed and the differentially expressed spots were identified using mass spectrometry and MASCOT database searching.
Results:
Compared with control group, 23 proteins had changed significantly in the model group, 8 proteins expression were up-regulated, 15 proteins expressions down-regulated significantly. Using MALDI-TOF-MS, 15 proteins with significant change were identified by peptide fingerprinting map and the results were searched in MASCOT database. The function analyzed showed that proteins with change were associated with metabolic, anti-oxidant, structural, catalytic enzymes and chaperone, et al.
Conclusion:
Type 1 diabetes is probably exerted via multi-target and multi-path mechanism. The proteins with significant change are newly target for type 1 diabetes early diagnosis and treatment.
