Proteomics, the study of the proteome (the collection of all the proteins expressed from the genome in all isoforms, polymorphisms and post-translational modifications), is a rapidly developing field in which there are numerous new and often expensive technologies, making it imperative to use the most appropriate technology for the biological system and hypothesis being addressed. This review provides some guidelines on approaching a broad-based proteomics project, including strategies on refining hypotheses, choosing models and proteomic approaches with an emphasis on aspects of sample complexity (including abundance and protein characteristics), and separation technologies and their respective strengths and weaknesses. Finally, issues related to quantification, mass spectrometry and informatics strategies are discussed. The goal of this review is therefore twofold: the first section provides a brief outline of proteomic technologies, specifically with respect to their applications to broad-based proteomic approaches, and the second part provides more details about the application of these technologies in typical scenarios dealing with physiological and pathological processes. Proteomics at its best is the integration of carefully planned research and complementary techniques with the advantages of powerful discovery technologies that has the potential to make substantial contributions to the understanding of disease and disease processes.

"Metformin Impairs Intestinal Fructose Metabolism".
bioRxiv
May 2023
Duke Molecular Physiology Institute, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA.
Objective: To investigate the effects of metformin on intestinal carbohydrate metabolism .
Method: Male mice preconditioned with a high-fat, high-sucrose diet were treated orally with metformin or a control solution for two weeks. Fructose metabolism, glucose production from fructose, and production of other fructose-derived metabolites were assessed using stably labeled fructose as a tracer.
Molecular insights into quality and authentication of sheep meat from proteomics and metabolomics.
J Proteomics

Sheep meat (encompassing lamb, hogget and mutton) is an important source of animal protein in many countries, with a unique flavour and sensory profile compared to other red meats. Flavour, colour and texture are the key quality attributes contributing to consumer liking of sheep meat. Over the last decades, various factors from 'farm to fork', including production system (e.

Objectives: Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) are increasingly achieving stable disease remission, yet the mechanisms that govern ongoing clinical disease and subsequent risk of future flare are not well understood. We sought to identify serum proteomic alterations that dictate clinically important features of stable RA, and couple broad-based proteomics with machine learning to predict future flare.
Methods: We studied baseline serum samples from a cohort of stable RA patients (RETRO, n = 130) in clinical remission (DAS28<2.
Periodontics in the USA: An introduction.
Periodontol 2000
February 2020
Division of Periodontology, Department of Orofacial Sciences, School of Dentistry, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA.
The United States continues to be an incubator for new concepts and approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of periodontal diseases. This volume of Periodontology 2000 presents some of these newer areas of research and paradigms that have emerged in the United States from both long-established and new investigators. These areas include: (1) more comprehensive approaches to assessing the total periodontal microbiome, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and their interactions with both the local and systemic inflammatory and immune responses, as well as with other oral and systemic conditions and diseases; (2) new developments for a more comprehensive characterization of the patient genome, transcriptome, and proteome profiles and the role of these profiles in periodontal disease pathogenesis; (3) new developments in nonsurgical approaches to periodontal diseases, including broad-based lines of attack using natural antimicrobials and host-modulation therapies and more focused approaches that target specific interactions in the host response; and (4) new big data analysis, machine learning, and imaging approaches, both for understanding the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases and for developing improved risk-assessment tools and better treatment outcomes.

Envenomation of cockroach cerebral ganglia by the parasitoid Jewel wasp, Ampulex compressa, induces specific, long-lasting behavioural changes. We hypothesized that this prolonged action results from venom-induced changes in brain neurochemistry. Here, we address this issue by first identifying molecular targets of the venom, i.
