Abstract

Background: Astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas are two types of primary Central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Because of the cytoarchitectural variability and lacking of accurate differential diagnosis biomarkers, distinguishing between these neoplasms remains a challenge. Method: In this study, we utilized the tumor tissue proteome to distinguish the astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas. The protein samples from astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas tumor tissues were analyzed by 2DLC/MS/MS and isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) quantification. The differential proteins were analyzed by IPA software, and three identified differential proteins were validated by Western Blot. Results: A total of 2189 proteins were identified, including 150 upregulated and 103 downregulated in astrogliomas compared to oligodendrogliomas. By bioinformatics analysis, compared to oligodendrogliomas, the astrocytomas is more likely tend to cell proliferation, migration and the tumor angiogenesis, indicating astrocytomas was more malignant than the oligodendrogliomas. Pathway analysis showed that members of Rho Family GTPases were remarkably changed between astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas. Two member of Rho family of GTPases, Cell division control protein 42 homolog (CDC42) and Transforming protein RhoA (RHOA) were over-expressed in astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas, respectively. Discussion: Above data indicated that the differential proteome could be useful to distinguish between astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas, especially the Rho family of GTPases. Differential proteome could partially reflect the pathological characteristics of these two diseases.
