title: [Proteomic analysis of paclitaxel-induced apoptosis in MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the mechanism of paclitaxel-induced apoptosis in MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells.
  
  
  METHODS
  In this study, the proteins extracted from paclitaxel-induced apoptotic MCF-7 cells were analyzed by 2-dimentional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), and compared with those from untreated MCF-7 cells. The differential proteins were identified by mass spectrometry.
  
  
  RESULTS
  At 24 hour after paclitaxel (100 nmol/L) treatment, MCF-7 cells were collected and extracted the whole proteins. Seventeen up-regulated or down-regulated proteins were found by analysis of the differential proteomic 2-DE map. Six of them were identified by mass spectrometry. They were enolase 1, chloride intracellular channel 1, keratin 8, ribosomal protein S12, galectin-1 and histidine triad nucleotide binding protein, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We effectively found the changed proteins in the process of paclitaxel-induced apoptosis in MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells by proteomic techniques. These up-regulated or down-regulated proteins are important molecules for our further research about the mechanism of paclitaxel-induced apoptosis.
