Hederacolchiside A1 was used to progressively permeabilize the membrane of human melanoma MEL-5 cells. Holes formation was followed by Scanning Electron Microscopy and interaction of the saponin with cholesterol and phospholipids by TOF-SIMS. 2D-LC-MS/MS and 2D-SDS-PAGE show that the release of soluble proteins into serum-free culture media increases with time. This can lead to a new rapid and efficient strategy to analyze the cytosolic subproteome and it opens the door to get information from the cytosolic compartment for clinical proteomic studies.

Article Synopsis
  • CMA and endosomal microautophagy (eMI) are processes for selectively degrading specific cytosolic proteins in lysosomes and late endosomes, recognizing a key five-amino-acid motif with the help of the Hsc70 chaperone.
  • This study reveals a compensatory relationship between CMA and eMI, highlighting the role of the chaperone Bag6 in managing the entry of eMI substrates into late endosomes.
  • Starvation alters the behavior of Bag6 at late endosome membranes, leading to a decline in eMI activity, and the findings suggest a coordinated interaction between CMA and eMI, and a shared subproteome that both pathways target for degradation.

Astrocytes and neurons extensively interact in the brain. Identifying astrocyte and neuron proteomes is essential for elucidating the protein networks that dictate their respective contributions to physiology and disease. Here we used cell-specific and subcompartment-specific proximity-dependent biotinylation to study the proteomes of striatal astrocytes and neurons in vivo.

Tianeptine Enhances Energy-related Processes in the Hippocampal Non-synaptic Mitochondria in a Rat Model of Depression.

Tianeptine (Tian) has been widely used in treating mood and anxiety disorders, and recently as a nootropic to improve cognitive performance. However, its mechanisms of action are insufficiently clear. We used a comparative proteomic approach to identify sub-proteome changes in hippocampal cytosol and non-synaptic mitochondria (NSM) following chronic Tian treatment (3 weeks, 10 mg/kg/day) of adult male Wistar rats and rats exposed to chronic social isolation stress (CSIS) (6 weeks), an animal model of depression.

Aims: To examine the differences in the hippocampal proteome profiles of resilience or susceptibility to chronic social isolation (CSIS), animal model of depression, and to identify biomarkers that can distinguish the two.

Main Methods: Comparative subproteomic approach was used to identify changes in hippocampal cytosol and nonsynaptic mitochondria (NSM) of CSIS-resilient compared to CSIS-sensitive or control rats. The resilient and sensitive phenotypes of CSIS rats were distinguished based on their sucrose preference values.

Classical proteomic techniques are perfectly suited to reflect changes in the metabolism by detection of changed protein synthesis rates and protein abundances in a global protein-centered analysis. Although the proteome of microbes is considered as rather low complex, usually the subcellular fractionation of proteins leads to higher proteome coverage which might be important for the proteome quantification. Additionally, such fractionation provides the possibility to detect changes in the protein localization as well as the protein abundance in single sub-proteomes.
