title: [Two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry analysis on effects of trichloroethylene on protein of L-02 liver cells].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effects of trichloroethylene (TCE) on the protein in L-02 cells in vitro.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thiazolyl blue and Trypan blue tests were used to investigate the cytotoxicity of TCE to L-02 liver cell. The 2-D electrophoresis was used to analyse the expression of proteins in L-02 liver cells. The differentially expressed protein spots were identified by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-TOF-MS).
  
  
  RESULTS
  When the concentration of TCE exceeded 30 micromol/L, there was distinct cytotoxicity to L-02 cell (P < 0.05). Selected 40 micromol/L to treat L-02 liver cells and analyze the differential proteome expression, the results showed that the expression level of 37 protein spots was up-regulated and 15 protein spots was down-regulated. And 15 proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-TOF-MS.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  TCE can change the proteome expression of L-02 liver cell. It should provide the fundamental information to identify proteins related to TCE in further study.
