The proteomic maps of human ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line in Human COC1 and its cell subline COC1/DDP were produced by 2-DE SDS-PAGE.The image analysis revealed obviously differential protein expression of the cells in response to cisplatin treatment.Approximate 1 300 protein spots were resolved in the two ranges of pI(3—10).The spots which have 10-fold difference in light density were digested by in-gel(enzyme),identified by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS) and finally detected by Profound and Mascot search engine in IDI databases.Seven proteins with obviously altered abundances were detected specifically,including four up-regulated protein spots and three down-regulated protein spots.The proteins differentially expressed in the parent cell line COC1 and its subline COC1/DDP were considered to be important for the therapy and pathogenesis.
