The application of proteomic methods (MALDI-toff MS) for studying protein profiles of some nematodes (dirofilaria and ascaris) for differentiating species

Abstract: Introduction: Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-toff MS) is a reliable method for diagnosing a number of bacterial and fungal infections. It is also effective as a method of rapid diagnosis of several parasitic agents. We used MALDI-toff MS to study the protein profiles of four nematodes: Dirofilaria repens, Dirofilaria. immitis, Ascaris suum and Ascaris lumbricoides. Methods: We studied the protein profiles of dirofilaria (five of each species: D. repens and D… Show more

“…As an example, Bruker has developed the MBT Sepsityper IVD Kit for the identification of microorganisms from blood cultures using a MALDI–TOF MS platform [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Interestingly, a recent article reported the use of the MBT Sepsityper Kit in order to profile four nematodes ( Dirofilaria repens , Dirofilaria immitis , Ascaris suum , and Ascaris lumbricoides ) [ 10 ], which intrigued and prompted us to test this method on Anisakis spp. In fact, our future goal, that has driven the preliminary study here presented, is to develop a pipeline for a proteomic profiling of Anisakis spp.…”

“…However, an increase of applications of this technology has been observed in the last 10 years, with encouraging results also in studies regarding parasites [ 8 , 9 ]. A recent application of MALDI–TOF MS for Dirofilaria and Ascaris protein-based profiling showed a promising scenario towards clinical applications involving nematodes biotyping [ 10 ].…”

“…However, data were limited regarding the origin of the study samples, the quality of the spectra obtained by MALDI-TOF and the repeatability of the results. Yet, during the revision of this systematic review, Pshenichnaya et al [145] published their work on dirofilariasis in a peer-reviewed journal and provided also data for two different species of Ascaris (i.e. A. suum and A. lumbricoides ).…”

“…The protein expression profiles determined by 2-DE coupled with MALDI-TOF/TOF MS method were about three times higher than those obtained with 2-DE [ 109 ]. Analysis of only head ends of 10 immature A. lumbricoides and A. suum using MALDI-TOF MS was also performed, but only to describe protein profiles (characteristic protein peaks) of those species [ 110 ]. Most of the proteomic studies were performed on A. suum .…”
