Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) DNA adducts have been associated with carcinogenesis, which is accompanied by multiple alterations in gene expression. We used two-dimensional electrophoresis to distinguish protein expression changes induced in MCF-7 cells by individual PAH (B[a]P and DB[a,l]P) and PAH mixtures (coal tar extract [SRM 1597] and diesel exhaust extract [SRM 1975]). Spots of interest were identified by MALDI-TOF-TOF. Our results have shown alterations in the expression of heat-shock proteins, cytoskeletal proteins, DNA associated proteins, and glycolytic and mitochondrial proteins. The proteins that were universally altered in expression were actin cytoplasmic 1, tubulin alpha and myosin light chain alkali, cyclophilin B, and heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein B1 (a protein involved in access to telomerase and mRNA maturation). Additional proteins with altered expression include histone H2A.1, heat-shock protein 70-2, galectin-3, nucleoside diphosphate kinase, ATP synthase, and electron transfer flavoprotein. While sharing similarities, each PAH treatment exhibited a unique proteomic fingerprint.

Acrolein (ACR) exposure leads to the formation of protein-ACR adducts. Protein modification by ACR has been associated with various chronic diseases including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we report an analytical strategy that enables the quantification of Michael-type protein adducts of ACR in mitochondrial proteome samples using liquid chromatography in combination with tandem mass spectrometry and selected ion monitoring (LC-MS/MS SRM) analysis. Our approach combines site-specific identification and relative quantification at the peptide level of protein-ACR adducts in relation to the unmodified protein thiol pool. Treatment of 3-month-old rats with CCl(4) , an established in vivo model of acute oxidative stress, resulted in significant increases in the ratios of distinct ACR-adducted peptides to the corresponding unmodified thiol-peptides obtained from proteins that were isolated from cardiac mitochondria. The mitochondrial proteins that were found adducted by ACR were malate dehydrogenase, NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] flavoprotein 1, cytochrome c oxidase subunit VIb isoform 1, ATP synthase d chain, and ADP/ATP translocase 1. The findings indicate that protein modification by ACR has potential value as an index of mitochondrial oxidative stress.
