GlicoproteÃnas sÃricas ligantes da lectina de dioclea altÃssima no estudo de doenÃas prostÃticas / Glycoproteins serum binding lectin high Dioclea in the study of prostate diseases

Leonardo Primo Bezerra 28 July 2014 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Atualmente à crescente o nÃmero de estudos com base na alteraÃÃo de perfis glicoproteÃmicos em diversas doenÃas, principalmente na busca de biomarcadores sÃricos para o cÃncer. A identificaÃÃo e quantificaÃÃo direta, de glicoproteÃnas sorolÃgicas pouco abundantes, sÃo difÃceis, pois proteÃnas muito abundantes no sangue podem dificultar a identificaÃÃo. Assim, ferramentas de fracionamento sÃo necessÃrias para isolar, eficientemente, glicoformas proteicas aberrantes no proteoma sanguÃneo. Tendo em vista a interaÃÃo especÃfica e reversÃvel de lectinas com glicoconjugados, o uso de lectinas imobilizadas em matriz cromatogrÃfica tem sido frequente, visando fracionar misturas complexas, envolvendo glicoproteÃnas, para posterior anÃlise por espectrometria de massas. Mediante este contexto, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi investigar o uso da lectina glucose/ manose ligante de sementes de Dioclea altÃssima (DaL) imobilizada em matriz cromatogrÃfica Sepharose 4B (DaL-Sepharose), no fracionamento de glicoproteÃnas sÃricas e na pesquisa de potenciais biomarcadores para o cÃncer de prÃstata (CaP). As glicoproteÃnas da fraÃÃo retida, obtidas pela cromatografia do soro sanguÃneo na matriz de DaL-Sepharose, foram identificadas e quantificadas, por espectrometria de massas, e assim, foi obtido o perfil proteico para os trÃs grupos estudados: controle, hiperplasia prostÃtica benigna e CaP. A identificaÃÃo das proteÃnas diferentemente expressas entre os grupos revelou 132 glicoproteÃnas, destas, 29 foram unicamente identificadas no grupo com cÃncer de prÃstata ou apresentaram uma razÃo de ln maior que 1,2, quando comparado à quantificaÃÃo no grupo controle. ApÃs uma anÃlise considerando a confiabilidade da identificaÃÃo, estimada pelo escore, e as evidencias na literatura que justifiquem um possÃvel envolvimento da proteÃna no cÃncer de prÃstata, destacaram-se: alfa-1-glicoproteÃna Ãcida, trombospondin-5, complemento C4 A, heptaglobina, pregnancy zone protein, isoforma 3 de alfa-1-antitripsina, alfa-2-glicoproteÃna rica em leucina e Zinc finger protein. A anÃlise do soro sanguÃneo fracionado pela matriz DaL-Sepharose, com prÃvia depleÃÃo de Albumina sÃrica humana e IgG, permitiu a identificaÃÃo de alfa-1-antitripsina e a proteÃna IGK âÃnicasâ no grupo com CaP e a pregnancy zone protein e a proteÃna like alfa 1 mieloma up reguladas no CaP quando comparadas ao grupo controle. A identificaÃÃo destas glicoproteÃnas gera novas perspectivas e servem de indicativo para nortear a pesquisa e desenvolvimento de mÃtodos de validaÃÃo destes resultados para usos clÃnicos. / Nowadays there are an increase number of studies based on the change of glycoproteomics profiles in several diseases, especially in the search for serum biomarkers for cancer. The direct identification and quantification of serum glycoprotein of low abundance are difficult, because proteins very abundance in the blood can difficult the identification. Thus, fractionation tools are necessary to isolate efficiently changed protein glycoforms on the blood proteome. Given the specific and reversible interaction of lectins to glycoconjugates, the use of immobilized lectins on chromatographic matrix has been frequent in order to fractionate complex mixtures, involving glycoprotein for analysis for mass spectrometry. In this context, the goal of this work was to investigate the use of binding glucose/ mannose lectin from Dioclea altÃssima seed (DaL) immobilized on Sepharose chromatography matrix 4B (DaL-Sepharose), on the fractionation of serum glycoproteins and research of potential biomarkers for prostate cancer (PC). Glycoproteins from the retained fraction obtained by chromatography of blood serum on DaL-Sepharose matrix were identified and quantified by mass spectrometry and it was obtained the protein profile to the three groups: control, benign prostatic hyperplasia and PC. The identification of differentially expressed proteins between the groups showed 132 glycoproteins, in which 29 were only identified on the group with prostate cancer or showed one reason of ln greater than 1.2 when compared to quantification on control group. After an analysis, considering the confiability of the identification, estimated by score, and the evidences on the literature that justified a possible involvement of the protein on prostate cancer, stood out: alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, thrombospondin-5 complement C4 A, haptoglobin, pregnancy zone protein, isoform 3 of alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha-2 glycoprotein rich in leucine and Zinc finger protein. The analysis of fractionated bood serum by DaL-Sepharose matrix with prior depletion of Human Serum Albumin and IgG allowed the identification of alpha 1-antitrypsin and the IGK protein âonlyâ on the group with CaP and the pregnancy zone protein and protein like alfa-1 mieloma up regulated on CaP when compared to the control group. The identification of these glycoproteins generates new perspectives and suit as indicative for guiding research and validation methods development of these results for clinical uses.
