title: Differential and quantitative molecular analysis of ischemia complexity reduction by isotopic labeling of proteins using a neural embryonic stem cell model.
abstract: The analysis of rapid changes of protein expression in living systems in response to insults requires rigorous methods of complexity reduction. To control dynamic pattern of hundreds or even thousands of protein isoforms, we applied a novel method of differential molecular analysis to a cellular model which is suited to study ischemia. Neural derivatives of murine embryonic stem cells were exposed to chemical ischemia. The model was used to obtain starting material for a quantitative differential proteomics analysis. Fractionation of phosphoproteins from these samples and subsequent identification by mass spectrometry of differential proteins provide proof of principle of how novel molecular analytical tools provide new insight into the network of neuroprotective molecular events during specific situations of neuronal stress and related pharmaceutical intervention. Our results indicate a particular role of an isoform of the acidic calcium-independent phospholipase A2 in this type of insult.
