The proteome of human brain microdialysate

Abstract: BackgroundCerebral microdialysis has been established as a monitoring tool in neurocritically ill patients suffering from severe stroke. The technique allows to sample small molecules in the brain tissue for subsequent biochemical analysis. In this study, we investigated the proteomic profile of human cerebral microdialysate and if the identified proteins might be useful predictors for disease characteristics in stroke for tissue at risk in the contralateral hemisphere. We analysed cerebral protein expression … Show more

“…For this investigation, only microdialysates that were collected without BSA in the perfusate were included. The total protein concentration obtained was in good agreement with the total protein concentration of approximately 0.2 mg/mL that has been found in microdialysates from the brain (Maurer et al 2003, Hillman et al 2005). Moreover, we were able to collect protein continuously over 24 h. The higher total protein concentration in the first 3-h interval can be attributed to the initial burst when starting microdialysis.…”

“…The first description of proteomic study of microdialysis was by Maurer et al [16], and was done in ischemic stroke patients using two dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by mass spectrometry and they found 10 proteins unique to the microdialysate sample. Surprisingly, some proteins identified in Maurer’s study were larger than 20 kD which is the stipulated cut-off of the microdialysate semi-permeable membrane.…”

“…Proteomic databases have proven to be effective tools in basic and applied stem cell research as they facilitate the identification of changes in signal transduction components [25] with regard to plasticity, proliferation, or differentiation [19,26,27]. The knowledge of the cellular proteome also provides a useful instrument for the assessment of differential protein expression changes under disease conditions, for the analysis of functional protein interactions, and for the clinical treatment protocols [28,29]. These possibilities emphasize the necessity of a reliable and verifiable protein analysis as the basis of a proteomic reference database.…”
