- Abstract
Background: Taurine serves a variety of nutritional and physiological roles, and it is mostly transported in cells via taurine transporter (TauT). The effect of taurine transporter in cerebral cortex is still unknown. We employed TMT label-based proteomics to find differences in proteins in the cerebral cortex of TauT knockout rats in this investigation. The goal of this research was to see how TauT deletion affected protein alterations in brain tissue and to see if there was a new research area for TauT. Methods: The cerebral cortex of TauT knockout rats and wild-type control rats were analyzed using TMT-based proteomics, and differentially expressed proteins were analyzed by bioinformatics analysis means such as GO and KEGG, the association between the proteins was found by PPI, and biologically significant and interesting proteins were selected for verification by WB and immunohistochemistry. Results: There were total of 8275 proteins found, but only 35 differentially expressed proteins were identified (27 up-regulated and 8 down-regulated), and gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed to predict the biological pathways and functional classification of the proteins. The results show that these differentially expressed proteins are mainly enriched in lysine degradation, cell cycle, chronic myeloid leukemia, and longevity regulating pathways-multiple species, renal cell carcinoma, pathways in cancer, etc. To verify the proteomic data, we analyzed the expression of Annexin6 and Pik3r2 by western blotting and immunofluorescence. The results are consistent with proteomics, which proves the reliability of our proteomics data. Conclusion: Through TMT-based proteomics, we have a comprehensive understanding of the effect of TauT knockout on the changes of other proteins in the cerebral cortex, providing new evidence for further understanding the function of TauT.
