  • Beschreibung: AbstractUrine is an ideal source of materials to search for potential disease‐related biomarkers as it is produced by the affected tissues and can be easily obtained by noninvasive methods. 2‐DE‐based proteomic approach was used to better understand the molecular mechanisms of injury induced by fluoride (F−) and define potential biomarkers of dental fluorosis. Three groups of weanling male Wistar rats were treated with drinking water containing 0 (control), 5, or 50 ppm F− for 60 days (n = 15/group). During the experimental period, the animals were kept individually in metabolic cages, to analyze the water and food consumption, as well as fecal and urinary F− excretion. Urinary proteome profiles were examined using 2‐DE and Colloidal Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining. A dose‐response regarding F− intake and excretion was detected. Quantitative intensity analysis revealed 8, 11, and 8 significantly altered proteins between control vs. 5 ppm F−, control vs. 50 ppm F− and 5 ppm F− vs. 50 ppm F− groups, respectively. Two proteins regulated by androgens (androgen‐regulated 20‐KDa protein and α‐2μ‐globulin) and one related to detoxification (aflatoxin‐B1‐aldehyde‐reductase) were identified by MALDI‐TOF‐TOF MS/MS. Thus, proteomic analysis can help to better understand the mechanisms underlying F− toxicity, even in low doses. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
