Abstract:

Objective To analyze the component of adult worm excretory/secretory protein(AWESP) from Trichinella spiralis using the shotgun method, and find out the active component underlying its regulatory effect on colitis in humans. Methods The T. spiralis AWESP was prepared, separated by SDS-PAGE, lysed with trypsin, and analyzed by shotgun LC-MS/MS. The protein components were determined with the Masco software and classified using the Gene Ontology(GO) method in cellular components, molecular functions, and biological processes. Results The AWESPs isolated by SDS-PAGE had a Mr of 15 000-116 000. A total of 280 proteins were revealed by LC-MS/MS, of which 96 were identified by Masco software, 98 were putative, and the remaining 86 were unclear. Preliminary results showed that 4 proteins had regulatory potential for colitis, including cysteine protease inhibitor, serine protease, 53 000 excretory/secretory antigen, and glutathione-S-transferase. GO enrichment analysis showed that the identified proteins had 104 different molecular functions, involved in 363 biological processes. Conclusion As revealed by the Masco software, T. spiralis AWESP has complex components and 96 have been identified in this study. Four of them are preliminarily shown to be associated with the anti-colitis effect of T. spiralis.
