[Differential proteomic analysis of drug resistant A549/DDP cell lines in human lung adenocarcinoma].

OBJECTIVE

To establish 2-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) graph of A549 and A549/DDP cell lines, to identify the differentially expressed proteins, and to screen multidrug resistance (MDR) related proteins in human lung adenocarcinoma.

METHODS

The total proteins of A549 and A549/DDP cells were obtained, and were extracted and separated by 2-DE. PDQuest software was applied to analyze the 2-DE images, and the differential proteins of the 2 types of cells were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Western blot was used to determine the expression levels of the 4 proteins.

RESULTS

We established 2-DE maps of total proteins from A549 and A549/DDP. A total of 40 differential protein spots in the 2 cell lines were found, and 23 differential expression proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS. Western blot showed that heat shock protein beta-1, annexin A4, cofilin l, vimentin were differential expression proteins in A549 and A549/DDP, which was consistent with the results of the comparative proteomic analysis.

CONCLUSION

The 23 differential expression proteins in human lung adenocarcinoma are useful for studying the MDR mechanism of lung adenocarcinoma.
