Abstract:
Objective: To investigate alteration of proteins profile in malignant transformation bronchial epithelial cells(16HBE-T) induced by hexavalent chromium[(Cr(VI))] and analyze the expression level of SET protein, then to provide some new insights for the carcinogenesis mechanism of Cr(VI). Methods: Total protein was extracted from 16HBE cells and was alkylated and desalinated before digested into peptides. The products were labeled with Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) and identified using LC-ESI-MS/MS. Results: A total of 3 517 proteins were found, expression differences greater than 1.5 or less 0.67 times were to found have 185 and 201 proteins, respectively. Gene enrichment analysis revealed that differential proteins were mainly involved in autophagy, DNA damage repair, RNA processing and other biological processes. Western blot results showed the expression level of SET was significantly increased while downregulated in histone H3K18/27 acetylation and p53 protein. Conclusion: Proteins involved in multiple biological processes altered in 16HBE-T cells and regulation mode of SET inhibiting histone H3K18/27 acetylation regulating transcriptional activity of p53 may paly an important role in Cr(VI)-association carcinogenesis.

Bacterial Transformation
Griffith made an unexpected discovery when he killed the pathogenic strain and mixed its remains with the live, non-pathogenic strain. Not only did the mixture kill host mice, but it also contained living pathogenic bacteria that...
Cell Potential and Free Energy
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...
Quantitative Analysis
In quantitative analysis, two key measurements are made: the sample quantity and a property proportional to the amount of the analyte (the substance being analyzed). This forms the basis of the...
Role of Myosin in Cell Migration
Myosin II is a hexamer comprising two heavy chains with globular heads and coiled-coil tails, two regulatory light chains, and two essential light chains. The ATPase sites on the myosin heads hydrolyze ATP, and the released phosphate generates the force for contraction....
Proteomics
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...
