Low concentration of anti-7,8-dihydroxy-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene induces alterations of extracellular protein profile of exposed epithelial cells.
7,8-Dihydroxy-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (BPDE) exposure induces adduct formation and oxidative damage on DNA, and consequently triggers complicated stress responses, including such responses as signaling pathway activation, cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, translesion DNA synthesis and mutagenesis. In the present study, 2-DE and MALDI-TOF MS were employed to analyze the differential extracellular protein patterns of human amniotic epithelial cells (FL cells) after exposure to 5 nM BPDE and control. As a result, one protein spot that appeared in the culture medium of BPDE treatment group was successfully identified as 14-3-3zeta, and three up-regulated protein spots were identified as annexin A3, annexin V and hydroxypyruvate isomerase homolog. Among them, 14-3-3zeta was further detected in some pleural fluid specimens also. These results demonstrate that BPDE exposure can induce alterations of extracellular protein profiles of exposed cells, which may be served as a starting point for searching candidate biomarkers for benzo[a]pyrene exposure.
