Activation of Human Peripheral Blood Eosinophils by Cytokines in a Comparative Time-Course Proteomic/Phosphoproteomic Study
2017
Activated
eosinophilscontribute to airway dysfunction and
tissue remodelingin asthma and thus are considered to be important factors in asthma pathology. We report here comparative proteomic and
phosphoproteomicchanges upon activation of
eosinophilsusing eight
cytokinesindividually and in selected
cytokinecombinations in time-course reactions. Differential protein and
phosphoproteinexpressions were determined by mass spectrometry after 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) and by LC–MS/MS. We found that each
cytokine-stimulation produced significantly different changes in the
eosinophilproteome and
phosphoproteome, with
phosphoproteomicchanges being more pronounced and having an earlier onset. Furthermore, we observed that IL-5, GM-CSF, and IL-3 showed the greatest change in protein expression and phosphorylation, and this expression differed markedly from those of the other five
cytokinesevaluated. Comprehensive univariate and
multivariate statisticalanalyses were employed to evaluate the c...
