To this end, we systematically characterized the intracellular proteomic profiles of four distinct and informative cervical cell lines. Materials and Methods: Cell extracts from a normal cervical (HCK1T) and three cervical cancer cell lines, one HPVnegative (C33A), and two HPV-positive, SiHa (HPV16+) and HeLa (HPV18+), were analyzed by 2-dimensional electrophoresis and differentially expressed proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, while differential expression was confirmed by western blot analysis. Results: In total, 133 proteins were found differentially expressed between the normal and the cervical cancer lines. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the actin cytoskeleton signaling pathway to be significantly affected, while up-regulation of cofilin-1, an actin depolymerizing factor, was documented and further validated by western blotting. Furthermore, two-way comparisons among the four cell lines, revealed a set of 18 informative differentially expressed proteins. Conclusion: These novel identified proteins provide the impetus for further functional studies to dissect the mechanisms operating in the two distinct pathways of cervical carcinogenesis. ER -
