[Comparative proteomics study on lung tissue in early stage of burn-blast combined injury in rats].
OBJECTIVE
To explore changes in the proteomics of lung tissue in early stage of burn-blast combined injury in rats.


METHODS
According to a random digital table, a total number of 18 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into burn-blast combined injury group (n=9) and blast injury group (n=9). Lung protein samples were collected at 6 h post injury. 2-DE was performed to separate proteins. After silver staining, the protein of differential expression were analyzed by PQ Quest and then identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of fight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The features of the changes of proteomics of rat lung after burn-blast combined injury were studied by biological spectrometry, protein bank and reference article analysis technique. At same time, pathologic changes of the lung were monitored after injury.


RESULTS
After removing death drain during the experiment, each group contained 8 rats and the results were analyzed statistically. Well focused and distinct 2-DE maps with good reproducibility were obtained, means of 736±47 and 782±30 protein spots were detected from the blast injury group and burn-blast combined injury group and the matching rates were 91%. From the two groups, 14 differential protein spots expressions were analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS, of which 10 proteins were up-regulated and 4 proteins were down-regulated in burn-blast combined injury group. 12 different expression proteins were identified in the lung through 2-DE, mass spectrometry and protein date base, including heat shock 27 protein 1, heat shock 70 protein 1, carbonic anhydrase 2, cytochrome c oxidase, ATP synthase subunit alpha, Ca(2+) -transporting ATPase et al, which took part in stress reaction, metabolism, immune response and cytoskeleton.


CONCLUSIONS
Burn-blast combined injury could induce dramatically changes of proteomics in lung tissue at early stage. The mechanism probably involves several proteins associated with oxidative stress, energy metabolism, immune response and cytoskeleton.
