Normal human colon crypt protein extract was resolved by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis using pH 6-11 immobilized pH gradient strips in the first dimension. The optimized isoelectric focusing protocol includes cup-loading sample application at the anode and 1.2% hydroxyethyl disulfide (DeStreak), 15% 2-propanol and 5% glycerol in the rehydration buffer. Spots were well resolved across the entire pH range up to 11. A total of 311 protein spots were identified by mass spectrometry and peptide mass mapping. After combining isoforms, 231 nonredundant proteins were grouped into 16 categories according to their subcellular locations, and 17 categories according to their physiological functions. Histone proteins, ribosomal proteins and mitochondrial proteins were among the wellresolved highest pI proteins. Application of this protocol to the analysis of normal and neoplastic colon crypts will contribute to the proteomic study of colorectal tumorigenesis since a significant portion of the human proteins is in basic pH range.

1. Introduction Proteomics aims to retrieve all of the information present at the protein level in a given biological system. It requires the ability to separate and resolve all proteins in the system, track changes in protein expression and subcellular location, identify and classify proteins into functional groups. At present, twodimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) gel based proteomics remains an important tool for achieving this goal. However, with all of the advancement in the field, such as immobilized pH gradient (IPG) gel strips, high-sensitivity fluorescent staining, sophisticated image analysis software, high-sensitivity mass spectrometers, and high-throughput automation, the separation and identification of all cellular proteins on 2-DE gel remains a challenge. Existing 2-DE technology is limited by the difficulties to resolve hydrophobic proteins, alkaline proteins and low abundance proteins.1 Most of the published results on 2-DE based proteomics are biased toward abundant proteins and proteins whose pIs fall within the range from 4 to 8. Efforts have been made to solve these problems since the beginning of 2-DE technology development. NEPHGE (nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis) with carrier ampholytes can partially resolve the alkaline proteins, although the reproducibility was compromised by stopping the focusing process before reaching * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

equilibrium.2 Gorg et al. described a protocol employing homemade high pH range (up to pH 12) IPG strips, and subsequently resolved some very alkaline proteins (ribosomal proteins and nuclear proteins with pI higher than 10) with a modified protocol.3-5 The difficulty in resolving alkaline proteins is often attributed to the reverse electro-endoosmotic flow that occurs during IEF, and migration or even exhaustion of the charged reducing agent such as DTT in the high pH range of the IPG strip. Hoving et al. described a modification in a 2-DE protocol by adding glycerol, 2-propanol, and large amount of reducing agent in the focusing buffer, thus improving the resolution of alkaline proteins up to pH 9.5.6 Another major improvement in high pH 2-DE resolving power was achieved by applying hydroxyethyl disulfide (HED) during IEF to block the thiol groups in proteins as mixed dithiols, thus improving the resolution for alkaline proteins and making the protein spot pattern highly reproducible.7 A recent study by Pennington et al. combining the use of HED and anodic cuploading was able to detect 353 protein spots of human brain proteins by silver stain at 100 µg loading scale on a typical pH 6-9 2-DE gel.8 Although technically difficult, it is very important to have a complete proteomic characterization of alkaline proteins in any given biological system. Theoretical simulation of human proteome 2-DE map reveals that about 40% of the total proteins have pIs higher than 8.9 Several classes of alkaline proteins have important cellular functions, such as the ribosomal proteins, mitochondrial proteins, histones, and other DNA binding proteins. These proteins are involved in various fundamental Journal of Proteome Research 2004, 3, 821-833

research articles cellular processes, such as DNA replication, transcription, translation, metabolism, and apoptosis. Many of these cellular functions are perturbed in tumorigenesis. Therefore, analysis of the alkaline proteome may shed valuable insight on normal and cancer biology. In the present study, we concentrate our effort to the alkaline proteins from human colonic crypts as part of our ongoing project to study the molecular mechanism of colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis. CRC is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. CRC tumorigenesis is a multistep process involving a series of mutations in tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. Normal colonic crypts develop into malignant cancer via the adenomatous polyp, a benign tumor of epithelial origin.10,11 Mutations on both alleles of the tumor suppressor gene APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) account for at least 85% of all colon cancers.12 Mutations in APC can be inherited or sporadic, but the inherited mutation on one allele increases the carrier’s risk of CRC to nearly 100%. Therefore, it is very important to investigate the molecular events occurring between the inactivation of the first allele and the second allele. Because of the two-hit nature of CRC, prevention of the second hit provides an opportunity to stop CRC development.13 As part of our concerted effort to study the earliest changes in colon crypt proteome during the stepwise molecular and pathological transition of CRC tumorigenesis, we report here our improvement on 2-DE separation of alkaline proteins as well as the identification of 231 alkaline human colon crypt proteins and their isoforms which can serve as reference points in future analysis.

2. Materials and Methods 2.1. Colon Crypts Preparation and Protein Extraction. 2.1.1. Colon Crypt Preparation. All of the human colon mucosa specimens used in this study and subsequent proteomics analysis were approved by respective Institutional Review Board of Fox Chase Cancer Center (FCCC) and Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) (FCCC protocol number: 00-852; TJU protocol number: 00.0023). Colon crypt preparation was based on a chelation method14 with some modifications. Briefly, the colon mucosal layer was dissected from surgically removed noncancerous region of a colon specimen and washed three times with cold PBS (phosphate-buffered saline), then incubated in 0.4% sodium hypochlorite for 15 min at room temperature. The cleaned mucosal layer was incubated in 3 mM EDTA in PBS for 45-60 min at room temperature, and the sample was vigorously shaken until detached crypts could be seen in suspension. After removing the tissue, the crypt suspension was transferred to a new centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 500 rpm for 3 min at 4 °C to pellet the crypts. The supernatant was removed, and the pellet was washed again in PBS. The quality of the isolated crypts was checked microscopically. If not used immediately, the crypts were stored at -80 °C. 2.1.2. Protein Extraction. Protein extracts from colon crypts were prepared using one of two protein extraction buffers: (A) Base Solution: 7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 65 mM CHAPS, 60 mM Tris/HCl (pH 8.8) and 0.3% SDS; additives: 8 mM PMSF, 52 mM DTT; (B) Base Solution: the same as in A; additives: 8 mM PMSF, 97.4 mM hydroxyethyl disulfide (HED). For 200 mg wet weight of crypts, 2 × 500 µL extraction buffer was used. Vortex or homogenization by pipetting was necessary to dissolve the crypt preparations. To remove chromosomal DNA, 1% v/v of 0.4 M spermine and 0.2% v/v of 5% polyethylenimine 822

were added to the solution, and incubated at room temperature for about 30 min, with vortexing every 10 min, to aggregate the polynucleotides. A clear protein extract was obtained after 45 min of centrifugation at 21 000 × g. Salt and SDS were removed by acetone precipitation. Protein extract was mixed with cold acetone at the ratio of 1:3 (v/v), and the mixture was stored at -20 °C overnight or longer. After 45 min of centrifugation at 21 000 × g, the supernatant was discarded and the pellet was washed with 80% cold acetone. After a brief centrifugation, the pellet was dried in a Speedvac for 5 min and redissolved in 2-DE sample buffer: 7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 4% CHAPS. Any residue was removed by centrifugation for 45 min at 21 000 × g. Protein concentration was determined by the Bradford assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), using a standard curve based on BSA in the same 2-DE sample buffer as for the preparation of colon crypt 2-DE sample. 2.2. Two-dimensional Electrophoresis and Protein Detection. 2.2.1. IEF and SDS-PAGE. IEF was performed using PROTEAN IEF Cell (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) with the cup-loading tray for anodic sample application (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Linear gradient 18 cm (pH 6-11) Immobiline DryStrip (Amersham Biosciences, NJ) and ReadyStrip (pH 7-10) (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) were used according to the manufacturers’ instructions. The IPG strip was rehydrated overnight at 20 °C in 340 µL rehydration buffer (7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 4% CHAPS, 5% glycerol, 15% 2-propanol, 1.2% DeStreak reagent, 2% IPG Buffer 6-11). For each IPG strip, 100 µg of protein samples in a volume less than 100 µL with 1.2% DeStreak reagent and 2% IPG buffer 6-11 was applied by cup loading at the anodic end. Electrode wicks immersed in rehydration buffer were applied at both ends of the strips, which were covered with mineral oil. IEF protocol as described in Table 1 was used. Total Volthours was about 65 kVh. The IEF parameters were recorded electronically to ensure reproducibility. After IEF, the IPG strip was immediately reduced and alkylated with a 2-step equilibration procedure. In the first equilibration solution, 2.6% (w/v) DTT was included in addition to 40 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.8, 7 M urea, 10% glycerol and 2% SDS. The strip was incubated with continuous shaking at 100 rpm for 5 min on an orbital shaker. The second step was the same except that DTT was replaced by 21.6% (w/v) iodoacetamide. SDS/PAGE was carried out on a 12% SDS/polyacrylamide gels (20 cm × 20 cm × 1.0 mm) with PROTEAN II xi system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). The strip was transferred to the top of the gel and held in place with 0.5% low-melt agarose dissolved in SDS-Tris-Glycine running buffer (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Electrophoresis was performed with constant current at 40 mA/gel at 15 °C for approximately 4 h until the tracking dye was about 1 cm from the end of the gel. 2.2.2. Gel Staining and Image Acquisition. After electrophoresis, gels were placed in Fixation solution (40% methanol and 7.5% acetic acid) for at least 1 h, then transferred to Sypro

Ruby protein stain, 250 mL/gel (Bio-Rad Hercules, CA), and stained for at least 10 h, with 50 rpm orbital shaking in the dark at room temperature. Before imaging with a ProEXPRESS scanner (PerkinElmer, IL), the gel was destained with 250 mL Destain solution (10% methanol and 7.5% acetic acid) for 30 min. Two gel images were taken with exposure time of 200 ms and 2 s, respectively. The gel was destained for another 2 h and two more gel images were taken in the same manner. 2.3. Protein Spot-Cutting, Tryptic In-Gel Digestion, and Protein Identification by MALDI-TOF Analysis. 2.3.1. Spot-Cutting and Tryptic In-Gel Digestion. Protein spots were selected through image analysis with Progenesis Discovery v2003.02 software (Nonlinear Dynamics, UK), excised with a ProPic Robot (Genomic Solutions, MI) as 1-mm gel plugs, and deposited in a 96-well microplates. Liquid was removed and the gel plugs were dehydrated with 100% acetonitrile. Reduction was performed with 20 mM DTT in 50 mM NH4HCO3 for 30 min, followed by alkylation with 50 mM iodoacetamide in 20 mM NH4HCO3 solution for 30 min in the dark. Liquid was removed and the pH of the gel plugs was adjusted by 10 mM NH4HCO3 for 10 min. After dehydration with 100% acetonitrile, the gel plugs were rehydrated at 4 °C for 30 min in 7 µL Trypsin solution (10 ng/µL porcine modified sequencing grade trypsin, (Promega, Madison, WI), 10 mM NH4HCO3, 5% acetonitrile). Digestion was achieved by incubating the gel plug at 34 °C for about 12 h. 2.3.2. Protein Identification by MALDI-TOF Analysis. Tryptic digested peptides were analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS with a Reflex IV mass spectrometer (Bruker Daltonics, Billerica, MA). Digested samples (1 µL) were spotted onto a 400-µm spot size, 384-position Anchorchip (Bruker Daltonics, MA), then mixed with 2 µL matrix (alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid as 10 mg/mL in ethyl alcohol:ethyl alcohol:acetone:25%(w/v) TFA, volume wise as 18:400:200:5) and allowed to dry. Mass spectra were acquired between 500 and 3500 m/z in reflectron mode. Trypsin autolysis products were used for internal mass calibration. Peak assignment and internal calibration were performed using the software package XMASS (Bruker Daltonics, MA). Proteins were identified through database search (Swiss-Prot, MSDB, and NCBI), by using BioTool software (Bruker Daltonics, MA) and MASCOT (www.matrixscience.com). All of the identified spots shown in this publication were confirmed in duplicate using corresponding gel plugs cut from separate gels. 2.4. Reproducibility and Quality Control. Each sample used in this study were analyzed by more than two gels, with about 90% reproducibility in terms of total spot volume and spot matching result. Quality control for mass spectrometry peptide mapping was based on the following: (1) matched spots from replicate gels gave the same results; (2) pI and molecular weight of the excised protein spot were compatible with the assigned sequences; (3) mass error for matched masses were very tightly and evenly distributed around zero ppm; (4) masses matched to specific amino acid sequences accounted for most of the nonbackground spectral intensity.

3. Results 3.1. Cup-Loading Vs In-Sample Rehydration. In-sample rehydration was developed for IPG strips to enable higher sample loading and better resolution of the 2-DE gels. Through a prolonged low-voltage in-sample rehydration step, proteins, especially the larger ones, have more time to migrate into the IPG gel strip. However, our results showed that this protocol was not suitable for high-pH range IPG strips. Poor resolution

Human colon crypt protein extract was resolved on IPG strip pH 7-10 (A, B, C, and D) or pH 6-11 (E and F). Second dimension gel: 12% acrylamide. (A) insample rehydration; (B) cup-loading; (C) 1.2% hydroxyethyl disulfide (DeStreak) was included in the IPG strip rehydration buffer; (D) extended 300 V protein entry step in IEF; (E) expansion of the IEF pH range from 7-10 to 6-11; (F) 15% instead of 10% 2-propanol, and 5% glycerol were included in the IPG strip rehydration buffer.

and heavy horizontal streaking were seen on gels prepared by in-sample rehydration (Figure 1A). In contrast, cup-loading at the anode end of the IPG strip significantly improved the 2-DE gel resolution, as shown in Figure 1B. 3.2. Applying Hydroxyethyl Disulfide in the Sample. DeStreak is the trade name for hydroxyethyl disulfide (HED), which was first shown by Olsson et al. to reduce the horizontal streakings on 2-DE gel, especially in high pH range gels.7 It forms mixed disulfides, thus protecting the active cysteine thiolgroups from uncontrolled modifications. We have used the HED in two ways: (1) the protein extract was prepared in the presence of low concentration of DTT (8 mM), and then a high concentration of HED (∼100 mM) was added to react with the thiol groups; (2) the cell extract was prepared in the presence of HED, thus eliminating the DTT step. Both procedures worked equally well, and streaking was significantly reduced (Figure 1C). 3.3. Increasing the Protein Entry Time. Although the cuploading and HED improved the gel resolution, the total protein presented on the 2-DE gel was less when compared with the Journal of Proteome Research • Vol. 3, No. 4, 2004 823

in-sample rehydration approach (Figure 1A-C), potentially compromising detection of low abundance proteins. Prolonging the total Vh did not improve the result (data not shown), but prolonging the initial protein entry step at 300 V enabled more protein to appear on the gel, as evidenced by both visual evaluation of the gel image and total spot intensity detected by image analysis software (Figure 1D). 3.4. IPG Strips of pH 6-11 vs pH 7-10. After comparing IPG strips of different pH ranges, we found pH 7-10 IPG strips caused some proteins to show an over-stretched pattern (Figure 1D), while other proteins gave tight spots. This phenomenon was observed also when very narrow pH range IPG strips were used. The focusing results were improved when the pH 7-10 IPG strip was replaced with pH 6-11 strip. In general, with the latter, there were more proteins being resolved, and spot shape also improved remarkably (Figure 1E). 3.5 Including 15% of 2-Propanol in Rehydration Buffer. Reverse electro-endoosmotic flow makes charged water molecules move from cathode to anode during IEF in high pH gradient gel, which can lead to drying or burning of the IPG gel strip. Sorbitol, 2-propanol, or methylcellulose have been used to circumvent this problem.3 We found that the addition of 15% 2-propanol into the IPG buffer achieved better-resolved protein spot pattern on our 2-DE gels, compared to using lower percentage 2-propanol in the buffer (Figure 1F). 3.6. Optimizing the IEF Protocol. Our operating protocol (Table 1) consists of a separate passive rehydration step for at least 12 h, and a sample-loading step with 300 V for 2.5 h for a loading volume of 50 µL (with an increment of 30 min for every additional 10 µL up to 100 µL total volume), and a final focusing step of 60 000 Vh. The quickest protocol can be completed in 22 h. However, the rehydration step may be extended or, after IEF, the IPG gel strip may be kept at -80 °C to accommodate a routine working schedule. A typical IEF record chart is shown in Figure 2. Note that the time necessary to reach the highest setting, 10 000 V, is long, and the final focusing time at 10 000 V is short. Sometimes the highest voltage may not reach 10 000 V during the run. 3.7. Protein Identification. Following the optimized protocol, from several selected gel images, a reference gel was established that contains about 800 protein spots (Figure 3). Most of the spots were excised in duplicate from replicate gels for protein identification. A total of 311 protein spots were identified as various modified forms of 231 nonredundant proteins. Specifically, 1 protein has 6 isoforms, 1 has 5 isoforms, 2 have 4 isoforms, 12 have 3 isoforms, 41 have 2 isoforms and 174 were identified as single spots in the pH 6-11 region. Table 824

2 summarizes the details of the identified proteins. Although the isoforms of a protein can arise from several possibilities, such as genetic polymorphism, protein truncation, degradation, post-translational modification or artificial modification during 2-DE process, at this stage, we did not attempt to identify the causes nor the consequences of the protein isoforms. 3.7.1. Distribution of Identified Proteins as a Function of Molecular Weight and pI. Histograms showing the distribution of the identified proteins according to their theoretical molecular weights and pIs are shown in Figure 4. It is in good agreement with the pattern seen on the 2-DE gel (Figure 3). The majority of the proteins, more than 90%, were resolved in the 10-100 kDa region. About 40% of identified proteins had pI lower than pH 8.0, and about 60% higher than pH 8.0. There were 12 identified proteins with pI higher than 10, including histones, ribosomal proteins, and mitochondrial proteins. 3.7.2. Subcellular Location of the Identified Proteins. The subcellular locations of the identified protein showed that they belong to 16 categories, with 26 proteins in the unknown group (Figure 5). The largest group is the mitochondrial protein group, consisting of 71 members, representing almost 30% of the total identified proteins. 3.7.3. Functional Classification of the Identified Proteins. The distribution of the identified proteins based on functional categories in the Gene Ontology database (www. geneontology.org) and the Human Protein Reference Database15 (www.hprd.org) is shown in Figure 6. The 231 proteins identified were grouped into 17 categories. The group of 86 proteins involved in intermediary metabolism represents the largest group of the identified proteins. There were 17 proteins with no known functions assigned.

4. Discussion Analysis of the human genome sequence predicted approximately 35 000 coding genes.16 The proteome is further complicated by alternate splice junction variants and posttranslational modifications.16 Human proteome may have 40% proteins with pI higher than 8,9 and yeast proteome consists as high as 50% of the proteins having pI higher than 8.17 Therefore, it is necessary for any comprehensive proteome database to include information on alkaline proteins. In our current protocol, we use cup-loading sample application instead of the in-sample rehydration method, although in-sample rehydration has been used widely to resolve neutral or acidic proteins. Taking advantage of low-voltage and prolonged sample entry step, in-sample rehydration has the benefits of accommodating heavy loading and resolving high molecular weight proteins. However, we found that in-sample rehydration is not suitable for resolving alkaline proteins (Figure 1A,B). With cup-loading and a prolonged 300 V protein entry step, we were able to produce well-resolved and reproducible 2-DE gels in the range of pH 6-11 (Figure 1, Table 1). IPG matrix formulated with very basic (pK 10.3) acrylamido buffer exhibits a strong positive charge, developing a “reverseendoosmotic flow” of ionized water toward the anode during IEF. This results in disintegrated IPG matrix, disturbing the steady-state locations of the proteins in the IPG strip. To overcome this effect, it is necessary to include 15% 2-propanol and 5% glycerol in the rehydration buffer (Figure 1). So far, there are only a limited number of proteins related to CRC identified by proteomics, and most of them are around neutral pI. The first application of 2-DE to compare protein

expression patterns of normal and transformed colorectal cells was published more than 20 years ago.18 Ji et al. studied the differences of normal and cancerous colon crypt based on 2-DE gel analysis in the range of pH 4-7.19 Cole et al. examined protein expression profiles from crypt, polyps and stroma from normal, APC mutated (multiple intestinal neoplasia, MIN) or p53 knock-out mice using two pH range IEF strips, pH 3-10 and pH 6-11, and one protein had been identified with pI above 8.20 The MIN mouse was studied using pH 3-10 2-DE gels to elucidate the role of APC in the development of familial and sporadic colorectal cancer. Several changes in protein expression were found among those samples, including two proteins with pI value higher than 8.21 Other proteomics studies on colon tissue identified tumor specific proteins, such as calgranulin A, calgranulin B and calgizzarin.22,23 To compare the protein expression profile more precisely, laser-capture microdissection (LCM) was performed on normal and cancer colonic epithelial cells, and the resulting samples were analyzed by 2-DE gels.24 A targeted proteomics analysis on rat intestinal epithelial cells using a tetracycline-regulated beta-catenin expression system found that 22 protein spots were either upregulated or down-regulated upon induction of β-catenin.25 In all these proteomics studies concerning colon crypt or CRC,

proteins resolved on 2-DE gels were limited to the neutral pH range. The only attempt to resolve proteins in pH 6-11 was suffered from poor resolution and inconsistency of the protein expression pattern above pH 8.20 In the present study, we have tested and modified several techniques (Figure 1) to resolve the alkaline proteins on 2-DE gels, and optimized the IEF protocol (Table 1) to get high resolution and reproducible gels. Applying this technology to human colon crypt samples, we resolved about 800 alkaline protein spots and identify 311 of them. Among the identified proteins, 18 are ribosomal proteins, and all have pI values above 9. It has been shown that ribosomal proteins are involved in extra-ribosomal activity independent of protein biosynthesis.26,27 Kasai et al. suggested that the extra-ribosomal activity is relevant to CRC by comparing the expression profile of 12 ribosomal proteins (Sa, S8, S11, S12, S18, S24, L7, L13a, L18, L28, L32, and L35a) in normal epithelium and cancer epithelium of human colorectal mucosa using immunohistochemistry. In normal mucosal epithelium, S11 and L7 ribosomal proteins appear to be barely expressed, in contrast to highlevel expression in immature mucosal cells and carcinoma cells.28 Furthermore, L7 ribosomal protein was expressed in secretory granules of the enterochromaffin cells in normal Journal of Proteome Research • Vol. 3, No. 4, 2004 825

colon mucosa, but not in carcinoma cells expressing chromogranin A, implicating an extra-ribosomal function for this protein.28 In our study, five ribosomal proteins, among a total of 18 identified, were previously implicated in extra-ribosomal functions and tumorigenesis. S11 was shown to be specifically down-regulated in breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells undergoing staurosporin-induced apoptosis, suggesting an anti-apoptotic

function.29 Ribosomal protein S3 was identified as an ultraviolet endonuclease III DNA-repair enzyme, which cleaves DNA in response to ultraviolet irradiation.30 Enhancement of ribosomal protein S3a expression was shown to induce transformation of NIH 3T3 cells and to induce tumors in nude mice by up regulating anti-apoptotic proteins.31 Ribosomal protein L7 was proposed to be involved in apoptotic induction by specifJournal of Proteome Research • Vol. 3, No. 4, 2004 831

ically inhibiting the synthesis of anti-apoptotic factors, further implicating a role for some ribosomal proteins in apoptosis.32 We have also identified 71 mitochondrial proteins, consisting of 30.7% of total identified proteins in our present study. More than 70 years ago, Otto Warburg proposed that cancer cells may have impaired mitochondrial function resulting from elevated glycolysis and decreased respiration, which is a common feature of most tumors.33 Although the presumed impairment of mitochondrial function in cancer biology was never explained, in recent years it has been shown that 832

mitochondria play an essential role as sensors and executioners of apoptosis. The mitochondrial proteins ATP synthase R-, β-, and γ-chains were among the proteins identified in our study with pI values higher than 9. Cuezva et al. showed that the expression of beta-F1-ATPase and beta catalytic subunit of H+ATP synthase are selectively repressed in colon and kidney carcinomas, concurrent with increase in the expression of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.34 In summary, through improvements of keeping proteins dissolved and focused during IEF, the most alkaline proteins of the colon crypt were well-resolved and characterized in this study. This established protocol provides the most complete view to date of the high pI colon crypt proteome and will allow a better characterization of the proteomic differences between normal and neoplastic crypts in the future. A better definition of the human colon crypt proteome will assist further understanding of CRC tumorigenesis, development, early detection and prevention.
