Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2008;0(S1):-
Objective:To Compare the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2D-PAGE)with cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)of Parkinson’s disease patients and control group(patients with headache),and to find out the disease-specific proteins(DSPs)which are closely correlated with Parkinson’s Disease. Methods:proteins extracted from CSF were run in immobilized pH gradient isoelectic focusing(IPG-IEF)at the first dimension,and then run in vertical flat sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PA GE)at the second dimension. The protein spots in gels were visualized by silver staining protocol followed by gel scanning and analysised by Pdquest 8.0 software.Then differentially displayed protein spots were searched and identifiyed by MALDI-TOF-MS.Results:Three DSPs were found and they were Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B,Apolipoprotein E and E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. Conclusion:There were different protein expressing in 2D-PAGE of Parkinson’s disease and control group.These proteins may be the DSPs of Parkinson’s disease and may be taked as biomarkers of Parkinson’s disease.
