title: A subcelluar proteomic investigation into vincristine-resistant gastric cancer cell line.
abstract: Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major obstacle to successful cancer treatment. To understand the mechanism of MDR better, a subcelluar proteomics approach was used to compare the protein profile between vincristine-resistant human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901/VCR and its parental cell line SGC7901. After differential solubilization, the subfractionation proteins were separate by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), and the differential protein spots were identified by both MALDI-TOF-MS and ESI-Q-TOF-MS. Then the differential expressional levels of partial identified proteins were determined by Western blot analysis. Furthermore, one of the highly expressed proteins in SGC7901/VCR, Sorcin, associated with MDR was analyzed. In this study, the well-resolved, reproducible 2-DE patterns of subfractionation proteins from SGC7901/VCR and SGC7901 were established, and 30 differential proteins between the two cell lines were identified. The functional validation showed that the elevated sorcin expression could contribute considerably to the vincristine resistance in SGC7901/VCR. The 30 differentially expressed proteins could be divided into six groups based on their functions: calcium binding proteins, chaperones, metabolic enzymes, proteins relative to signal transduction, proteins involved in transcription and translation, and transportation proteins, and most of them might be new MDR associated proteins, which have not been detected previously. These data will be valuable for further to study the mechanisms of MDR in human gastric cancer.
