Abstract

Methods for protein analysis, such as chromatography, electrophoresis, enzyme tests, receptor assays and immunological tests, have always been aimed in a classical reductionistic manner at investigating single proteins isolated from the complex protein composition of biological compartments. The complexity of the protein composition in biological systems was first visualized by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE). Using 2-DE like a molecular microscope, protein variations between different biological situations may be detected by subtractive 2-DE analyses. Combining 2-DE with microsequencing, amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry protein spots on 2-DE gels may be identified. The sequence information can be used to find the gene. However, by 2-DE not only single protein changes can be detected and investigated on the gene level, but also complex changes of many proteins on a genomic scale.

      The analysis of the urinary proteome is an important source of information as proteins can be derived from all segments of the nephron and represents physiological and biological processes that occur in the kidney [86]. For these reasons, different proteomics approaches have been carried out for biomarker discovery, which might be an important step forward to the noninvasive diagnosis of kidney diseases, including IgAN [83,87,88]. Among proteomic technologies that allow the simultaneous examination of patterns of multiple urinary and plasma proteins, the most commonly used approaches are two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry (CE-MS), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight/mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time of flight/mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS), 2-DE coupled to MALDI-TOF-TOF, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and other combinations.

      With this method, biological samples, such as the urine, plasma, or serum, can be systematically analyzed with the goal of identifying, quantifying and discerning the function of all observable proteins [228]. Urine and plasma proteomics have gained much attention as tools for the identification of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of renal diseases [213] and may represent an important step forward in the non-invasive diagnosis of kidney diseases [229]. Although current available tests for urine proteins measure either the total level of proteinuria or the presence of a single protein species, emerging proteomic technologies allow simultaneous examination of the patterns of multiple urinary and plasma proteins [58].
