MALDI - イメージング質量分析法を用いた多発性硬化症のプロテオミクスレベルのバイオマーカーと治療標的の特定
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease; its cardinal symptoms are chronic inflammatory, demyelination and axonal degeneration of central neuro system (CNS). In this study, we applied matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) for CNS of murine model of MS; experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). We have successfully identified and visualized several proteins specifically expressed in lesions of EAE at preclinical to clinical stages. It was functionally validated on an EAE model with or without blocking agents of the proteins. Furthermore, in depth proteomics using LC-TIMS-MS/MS for the cells infiltrated into CNS was also performed. In understanding molecular mechanisms of disease progression as well as pharmacological effects of the agents above mentioned, we have utilized whole animal IMS at the proteomics level.
