title: Proteomics strategy based on liquid-phase IEF and 2-D DIGE: application to bone marrow mesenchymal progenitor cells.
abstract: Global comparative proteomics is a promising new approach with broad application in basic and clinical biological science. Recent advances include the development of 2-D DIGE, a proteomic equivalent to mRNA differential display, in which differentially labeled samples are multiplexed and analyzed by high-resolution 2-DE. This study presents a new 2-D DIGE protocol, in which complex protein samples from normal and leukemic human bone marrow mesenchymal progenitor cells were used as model samples for a novel combination of liquid-phase IEF with 2-D DIGE. Using liquid-phase IEF, the normal and leukemic cells were pre-fractionated into five subproteomes after multiplexing but prior to DIGE. Under these conditions, 2-D DIGE resolved >5000 protein-containing spots within the pH range 4.6-7.0. Differential labeling combined with subsequent MALDI-MS/MS identified proteins that were differentially expressed in leukemic cells. This analysis mapped protein identities to 128 mesenchymal progenitor cell proteins with at least one unique peptide match at >95% confidence. Of these proteins, 72 (56%) were expressed more than 1.25-fold higher or lower in leukemic cells compared with normal cells (p<0.05). These data were used to infer gene ontology biological processes that may be altered in leukemic bone marrow mesenchymal progenitor cells.
