Background: Preeclampsia and gestational hypertension can cause impaired vascular function in offspring. In our previous work, we described the profiles of protein expression in umbilical artery tissues of patients with preeclampsia.
Methods: In order to gain insights into the mechanisms of vascular dysfunction in adult rats born by preeclampsia dams, we present analysis of thoracic aortic tissues by using iTRAQ isobaric tags and 2D nano LC-MS/MS.
Results: By using iTRAQ method, we analyzed 1825 proteins in which 106 proteins have shown significantly differential expression in thoracic aortic. Results from ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) showed majority of proteins with differential expression (DEP)were associated with cardiovascular function. Further analysis indicated that glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), which is inhibited by miR-423-5p and activated by TP53, was most affect the cardiovascular function. The expression level of G6PD was up-regulated in thoracic aortic tissues as confirmed by western blot results. Two other vascular function proteins Cysteine and glycine-rich protein 2 (CSRP2) and Tubulin alpha-4A (TUBA4A) were upregulated as demonstrated by mass spectrometry (MS).
Conclusions: Although the results need further functional validation, these data provide novel findings relating to impaired vascular function in adult offsprings of preeclamptic mothers.
