title: Analysis of the liver soluble proteome from bull terriers affected with inherited lethal acrodermatitis.
abstract: Lethal acrodermatitis (LAD) is a genetic disease affecting bull terrier dogs. The phenotype is similar to that for acrodermatitis enteropathica in humans, but is currently without treatment. The purpose of the research presented here is to determine the biochemical defects associated with LAD using proteomic methodologies. Two affected (male and female) and one unaffected (male) bull terrier pups were euthanized at 14 weeks of age, their livers dissected and prepared for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) and densitometry. Approximately 200 protein spots were observed. The density of the spots within each gel was normalized to the total spot volume of the gel; only those soluble liver protein spots that were consistently different in both of the livers of the affected pups compared to the unaffected pup were excised manually and submitted for MALDI mass spectrometry. Thirteen proteins were identified as differentially expressed in the affected, compared to the unaffected, pups. The proteins were involved in numerous cellular physiological functions, including chaperones, calcium binding, and energy metabolism, as well as being associated with the inflammatory response. Of note were haptoglobin, glutamine synthetase, prohibitin and keratin 10 which exhibited at least a fourfold level of differential expression. These data represent the first proteomic analysis of this mutation. The differentially expressed proteins that were identified may be key in understanding the etiology of LAD, and may lead to diagnostic tools for its identification within the bull terrier population.
