title: [Screening the proteins of organophosphoms ester-induced delayed neurotoxicity in the cerebral tissue of hens exposed to tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To screen the proteins with differential expression levels in the cerebral tissue of hens exposed to tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate (TOCP), and to provide target proteins for studying the mechanism of organophosphoms ester-induced delayed neurotoxicity (OPIDN).
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty two adult Roman hens were randomly divided into four groups: TOCP group was exposed to 1000 mg/kg TOCP, PMSF group was exposed to 40 mg/kg PMSF, PMSF plus TOCP group was exposed to 40 mg/kg PMSF and after 24 h exposed to 1000 mg/kg TOCP, control group was exposed to normal saline. All hens exposed to chemicals by gastro-intestine for 5 days were sacrificed, and the cerebral tissue were dissected and homogenized in ice bath. Total proteins extracted from the cerebral tissue were separated by isoelectric focusing as the first dimension and SDS-PAGE as the second dimension. The 2-DE maps were visualized after silver staining and analyzed by Image Master 2D software. At last ,the expressed protein spots were identified by Mass spectrometry.
  
  
  RESULTS
  From total proteins in TOCP group, the PMSF plus TOCP group and PMSF group, 1185, 1294 and 1063 spots were detected, respectively. One thousand three hundred thirty two spots from total proteins in control group were detected. The match rates of protein spots in TOCP group, the PMSF plus TOCP group and PMSF group were 78.32 %, 79.56 % and 80.93%, respectively. There were 235 protein spots with differential expression levels between TOCP group and control group, which included 158 up regulation spots and 77 down regulation spots. According to the PMSF features, there were 102 spots with differential expression levels between TOCP group and control group and without differential expression levels between TOCP group and PMSF plus TOCP group, among them there were 13 spots with 4 fold differential expression levels between TOCP group and control group and without differential expression levels between TOCP group and PMSF group. Seven protein spots (homer-1b, Destrin, heat shock protein 70, eukaryotic translation initiation factors, proteasome alpha1 subunit, lactate dehydrogenase B, glutamine synthetase) were detected by Mass spectrometry.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There are 112 protein spots with differential expression levels of the cerebral tissue in TOCP group, which may be related to OPIDN, among them 13 protein spots with differential expression levels are associated closely with OPIDN. Seven protein spots detected by Mass spectrometry may be related to the mechanism induced by OPIDN.
