Gastric cancer is a serious public health problem worldwide. The high incidence of advanced tumors with poor survival by metastasis, especially in the north, made us realize the comparative study of strains of metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma (AGP01) with gastric adenocarcinoma without metastasis (ACP02) by proteomic evaluation of cell motility that may be related to the formation of these metastasis. Proteomic study was conducted strains AGP01 and ACP02 through the technique of high performance liquid chromatography 2D Nanoultra (UPLC) together with nanoESI - (MSE mudpit) and functional analysis of differentially expressed proteins in the Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) software. We observed 19 proteins with increased expression in AGP01 lineage regarding ACP02, which are related to movement, organization and cell morphology, where we suggest that ACTB, ANXA1, LGALS1, IQGAP1, EZR, MSN, MYH9 and S100A11 proteins, according to our findings and supported by the research literature is associated with metastasis of gastric adenocarcinomas. Other proteins showed strong expression in our study, but its expression in the research literature is related to the dissemination routes only other tumors, such as breast (RAB5C), lung (PLS1 and CAP1), rectum (ACTN1) and GIST (SYNE2). Conflicting with our study, the expressions of CAPZA1, FLNA and FLNC protein, were observed in the literature as an inhibitor of tumor advancement, where the expression of MYL6, MYL6B and ACTN2 proteins first appear as being related to cell motility, invasion and metastasis in cancer.

Análise proteômica da resposta ao arsênio e do exoproteoma de Chromobacterium violaceum

Chromobacterium violaceum is a Gram-negative beta-proteobacterium found in tropical ecosystems and it is an opportunistic pathogen for animals and humans. C. violaceum infection is associated with a high mortality rate, but little is known about the molecular basis of pathogenicity mechanisms. As an environmental microorganism, C. violaceum is exposed to diverse external conditions, which require great adaptability and effective protection systems. C. violaceum possesses an arsenic resistance operon arsRBC. Arsenic is a toxic metalloid associated with skin lesions, neurological diseases and cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in protein pattern in presence of arsenite and characterize secreted proteins of C. violaceum ATCC 12472. The proteins from C. violaceum were analyzed by twodimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Proteomic analysis revealed that arsenite induces an increase of proteins involved in oxidative stress response, DNA repair and energetic metabolism. Among the secreted proteins were identified virulence factors (metallopeptidases, collagenase and toxins), transporters, and proteins involved in stress response and potentially useful. The results show novel insights into the adaptive response of C. violaceum.
