Chemical Recording of Pump-Specific Drug Efflux in Living Cells.

Drug efflux-a process primarily facilitated by efflux pumps such as multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs)-plays a pivotal role in cellular resistance to chemotherapies. Conventional approaches to assess drug efflux are predominantly conducted in vitro and often lack pump specificity. Here we report the bioorthogonal reporter inhibiting efflux (BRIEF) strategy, which enables the recording of pump-specific drug efflux in living cells.

A multi-omics dataset of human transcriptome and proteome stable reference.

The development of high-throughput omics technology has greatly promoted the development of biomedicine. However, the poor reproducibility of omics techniques limits their application. It is necessary to use standard reference materials of complex RNAs or proteins to test and calibrate the accuracy and reproducibility of omics workflows.

Changes of Development from Childhood to Late Adulthood in Rats Tracked by Urinary Proteome.

To date, studies of development have mainly focused on the embryonic stage and a short time thereafter. There has been little research on the whole life of an individual from childhood to aging and death. For the first time, we used noninvasive urinary proteome technology to track changes in several important developmental time points in a group of rats, covering 10 time points from childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood, and near-death in old age.

Changes in the urinary proteome before and after quadrivalent influenza vaccine and COVID-19 vaccination.

The proteome of urine samples from quadrivalent influenza vaccine cohort were analyzed with self-contrasted method. Significantly changed urine protein at 24 hours after vaccination was enriched in immune-related pathways, although each person's specific pathways varied. We speculate that this may be because different people have different immunological backgrounds associated with influenza.

Many kinds of oxidized proteins are present more in the urine of the elderly.

Background: Many studies have shown an association between aging and oxidation. To our knowledge, there have been no studies exploring aging-related urine proteome modifications. The purpose of this study was to explore differences in global chemical modifications of urinary protein at different ages.

Global chemical modifications comparison of human plasma proteome from two different age groups.

In this study, two groups of human plasma proteome at different age groups (old and young) were used to perform a comparison of global chemical modifications, as determined by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) combined with non-limiting modification identification algorithms. The sulfhydryl in the cysteine A total of 4 molecular modifications were found to have significant differences passing random grouping tests: the succinylation and phosphorylation modification of cysteine (Cys, C) and the modification of lysine (Lys, K) with threonine (Thr, T) were significantly higher in the old group than in the young group, while the carbamylation of lysine was lower in the young group. We speculate that there is an increase in certain modified proteins in the blood of the old people which, in turn, changes the function of those proteins.
