Tissue sections, which are widely used in research and diagnostic laboratories and have already been examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC), may subsequently provide a resource for proteomic studies, even though only small amount of protein is available. Therefore, we established a workflow for tandem mass spectrometry-based protein profiling of IHC specimens and characterized defined brain area sections. We investigated the CA1 region of the hippocampus dissected from brain slices of adult C57BL/6J mice. The workflow contains detailed information on sample preparation from brain slices, including removal of antibodies and cover matrices, dissection of region(s) of interest, protein extraction and digestion, mass spectrometry measurement, and data analysis. The Gene Ontology (GO) knowledge base was used for further annotation. Literature searches and Gene Ontology annotation of the detected proteins verify the applicability of this method for global protein profiling using formalin-fixed and embedded material and previously used IHC slides.
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a small subset of slowly dividing cells with tumor-initiating ability. They can self-renew and differentiate into all the distinct cell populations within a tumor. CSCs are naturally resistant to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. CSCs, thus, can repopulate a tumor after therapy and are responsible for recurrence of disease. Stemness manifests itself through, among other things, the expression of stem cell markers, the ability to induce sphere formation and tumor growth in vivo, and resistance to chemotherapeutics and irradiation. Stemness is maintained by keeping levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) low, which is achieved by enhanced activity of antioxidant pathways. Here, cellular sources of ROS, antioxidant pathways employed by CSCs, and underlying mechanisms to overcome resistance are discussed.
Proteostasis, a portmanteau of the words protein and homeostasis, refers to the ability of
eukaryotic cells to maintain a stable proteome by acting on protein synthesis, quality control and/or
degradation. Over the last two decades, an increasing number of disorders caused by proteostasis
perturbations have been identified. Depending on their molecular etiology, such diseases may be
classified into ribosomopathies, proteinopathies and proteasomopathies. Strikingly, most—if not
all—of these syndromes exhibit an autoinflammatory component, implying a direct cause-and-effect
relationship between proteostasis disruption and the initiation of innate immune responses. In this
review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the molecular pathogenesis of these disorders and
summarize current knowledge of the various mechanisms by which impaired proteostasis promotes
autoinflammation. We particularly focus our discussion on the notion of how cells sense and integrate
proteostasis perturbations as danger signals in the context of autoinflammatory diseases to provide
insights into the complex and multiple facets of sterile inflammation.
