Human keratinocytes HaCaT LC-MSMS_SDS exposure

We employed human HaCaT cells as a model system to identify cellular proteins that accompany SDS-induced toxicity based on a proteomic approach. HaCaT human keratinocyte cell line were treated with a non-cytotoxic dose of SDS (25 µg/ml, as determined by the MTT assay and microscopically examination) for 48 h. The altered abundance of proteins from HaCaT keratinocytes exposed to SDS was analyzed by LC-MS/MS approach and quantified using Progenesis LC software. The abundance of 217 proteins (which were identified by multiple peptides, ≥ 2) was altered in keratinocytes exposed to SDS; in which 131 proteins had increased abundance while 86 proteins was down regulated. The Pathview map of 131 up-regulated proteins was built and enhancement of glycolysis/gluconeogenesis was found.
