Proteomics01:33

Proteomics

9.8K
A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

The Extracellular Matrix

12.2K
Overview
In order to maintain tissue organization, many animal cells are surrounded by structural molecules that make up the extracellular matrix (ECM). Together, the molecules in the ECM maintain the structural integrity of tissue as well as the remarkable specific properties of certain tissues.
Composition of the Extracellular Matrix
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is commonly composed of ground substance, a gel-like fluid, fibrous components, and many structurally and functionally diverse...

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell

14.9K
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...

Insulin Secretory Vesicles01:05

Insulin Secretory Vesicles

6.9K
Insulin secretory vesicles release insulin to stimulate blood glucose uptake and regulate carbohydrate metabolism. When the blood glucose levels increase, glucose enters the pancreatic β-islet cells through glucose transporters. Once inside, glucose is metabolized through glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain, producing ATP. This increase in ATP concentration closes ATP-sensitive potassium channels, leading to depolarization of the membrane and the opening of...

Overview of Secretory Vesicles01:33

Overview of Secretory Vesicles

9.5K
Secretory vesicles, also known as dense core vesicles (DCVs), are membrane-bound vesicles that transport secretory proteins, such as hormones or neurotransmitters. Regulated secretory vesicles transport proteins from the trans-Golgi network to the exterior of the cell. Proteins present in regulated secretory vesicles are required to be rapidly exocytosed in large amounts upon a specific stimulus.
Various proteins regulate the aggregation of molecules inside the secretory vesicles. Chromogranins...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biochemistry
  • Proteomics

Background:

  • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising biomarkers for neurological diseases.
  • Current methods like ultracentrifugation (UC) yield low purity and quantity of CSF-EVs.
  • The origin of CSF-EVs remains poorly understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate ultrafiltration LC (UFLC) for CSF-EV extraction, comparing it with UC.
  • To investigate the origin of CSF-EVs.
  • To assess the impact of extraction method on EV purity, yield, and proteomic content.

Main Methods:

  • EVs were extracted from human CSF using both UC and UFLC.
  • Characterization involved nanoparticle tracking analysis, electron microscopy, and immunoblotting.
  • Proteomic analysis of EVs and CSF was performed using LC-MS/MS.

Main Results:

  • UFLC yielded significantly higher EV concentrations (7.90 × 10^8 EVs/mL) than UC (1.06 × 10^8 EVs/mL).
  • UFLC demonstrated enhanced EV purity, greater proteomic depth (622 vs 298 proteins), and improved quantification consistency.
  • EVs were enriched in intracellular and brain-specific proteins, including those from white matter and choroid plexus, compared to whole CSF.

Conclusions:

  • UFLC is a superior method for extracting high-yield and high-purity CSF-EVs.
  • The proteome of UFLC-extracted EVs offers a more accurate reflection of intracellular and white matter proteomes than whole CSF.
  • This improved extraction technique facilitates better understanding of CSF-EV origin and enhances their utility as neurological disease biomarkers.
