We hypothesized each expresses different proteins. We removed dental pulp tissue from freshly extracted teeth and separated these layers. Protein from each of these samples was broken down into its constituent peptides and these were identified using mass spectrometry. Using software parent proteins were identified from peptides which were unique to individual human proteins. We thus identified 4,888 peptides in the odontoblast sample and 12,063 peptides in the pulp stroma. 222 proteins were found only in the odontoblast sample, suggesting they are synthesized by odontoblasts. We also found differences in the odontoblast cell layer proteomes between older and younger donors. In summary we expanded the human dental pulp proteome by 974 new proteins not previously found in our previous dental pulp study. We also found proteome differences between the odontoblast cell layer and the pulp stroma. iv Preface Dr. Overall and I met in early 2014 to discuss this research project. The Overall lab is involved in the human proteome project and Dr. Overall was interested in taking me on as a graduate student to do proteomics on human dental pulp, adding this tissue to others already being studied in the lab. The terminal amine isotopic labelling of substrates (TAILS) protocol had been developed in the Overall lab previously and we discussed using it on dental pulp tissue (Kleifeld et al., 2011a). Dr. Eckhard had removed one dental pulp from a tooth extracted by Dr. Mathew several months earlier, as a pilot project. The project began in May 2014. The first phase was collecting the pulp tissue. Dr. Mathew and I coordinated this that summer; I travelled to his office, where he extracted the donor wisdom teeth. I developed the technique for removing the pulp tissue from these teeth and freezing them on dry ice immediately. Together, Dr. Mathew and I collected all pulps studied in this research and in our previous study: he extracted the teeth, I then removed the tooth pulp tissue and froze it in GuHCl buffer. We obtained pulp tissue from a total of 16 donors over the course of the summer. Dr. U. Eckhard and I worked closely together that summer. We did all experiments together for donors 1-10 of 16 total. Dr. Eckhard worked very closely with me for the first run of the experiment (donors 1 and 2) and for the remainder of the summer I did all the experiments for donors 3-10 with Dr. Eckhard close-by for clarification and consultation. I was responsible for planning and implementing the histological component of this research, preparing a pulp, sectioning it, and staining it. We had other sections done by the UBC Wax-it service. I did all histology under the guidance of Dr. G. Tharmarajah. During the summer of 2015 I did initial analysis of LC-MS/MS data for all 16 pulp donors. I prepared spreadsheets of the data for further software analysis by Dr. Eckhard. v At this point, Dr. Overall decided to divide the project in two. For donors 1, 2 and 11-16 Drs. Eckhard and G. Marino performed all further experiments to process the pulp proteins for LC-MS/MS analysis, did the analysis of these spectra, and prepared the figures for the first paper published from this data (Eckhard et al., 2015). For this first paper, I removed and did initial work on all pulp tissue used, and performed approximately 20 % of the experiments to process this tissue through PreTAILS and TAILS workflows. I also performed initial data analysis using Excel, reviewed the final manuscript, made edits and consulted from an endodontic perspective. I was also responsible for the histology image used in this paper. Through 2015 and 2016, I performed detailed software analysis on my LC-MS/MS data from donors 3-10, samples for which I had done the experimental work and analysis. In performing the analysis of MS spectra I worked closely with Dr. U. Eckhard and he did the final analysis to prepare our data for publication. I took the 5 day long Trans-Proteomic Pipeline introductory course given by the Seattle Institute of Systems Biology in the fall of 2015. Following this, I understand and can use all the software we employed to analyze our LC-MS/MS data, but my understanding of proteomics is not at the level of Dr. Eckhard and he was critical to final preparation of my data. In 2016 and 2017 I organized my data for publication, prepared the figures, and wrote the manuscript for a second paper that has been submitted to the Journal of Dental Research. Myself and Dr. Eckard share first author status on this paper. I presented new research posters, each serving as a landmark for my progress in this project, in every year of my program, January 2015, 2016, and 2017. At this year\u00E2\u0080\u0099s research day poster competition I received the M.Sc. student award. Our research project received ethical approval from the UBC Clinical Research Ethics Board (certificate # H13-03006). vi Table of Contents Abstract ........................................................................................................................................ ii Lay Summary ............................................................................................................................. iii Preface ......................................................................................................................................... iv Table of Contents ...................................................................................................................... vi List of Tables ................................................................................................................................x List of Figures ............................................................................................................................ xi List of Abbreviations ............................................................................................................... xii Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................ xiii Dedication ................................................................................................................................. xiv Chapter 1: Introduction .............................................................................................................1 1.1 Basic science background to project ........................................................................ 1 1.1.1 Proteomics............................................................................................................. 1 1.1.2 Transcriptomics .................................................................................................... 1 1.1.3 Post-translational protein modifications ............................................................ 2 1.1.4 Protein variability with time ................................................................................. 2 1.1.5 The Human Proteome Project ............................................................................ 3 1.2 Dental pulp .................................................................................................................... 3 1.2.1 Tooth structure ...................................................................................................... 3 1.2.2 Odontoblast function within the pulp organ ...................................................... 4 1.3 Literature review of related studies ........................................................................... 5 1.3.1 P\u00C3\u00A4\u00C3\u00A4kk\u00C3\u00B6nen et al. 2005 ............................................................................................. 5 vii 1.3.1.1 Two dimensional (2D) Gel electrophoresis .................................................. 6 1.3.2 Wei et al.

It is the large-scale study of proteins. To some degree it is an evolution from genomics, the deciphering and characterization of the human and other genomes. But while genomics examines the fixed blueprint of chromosomal DNA, proteomics attempts to understand and quantitate active processes of gene regulation and expression in both health and disease (Anderson and Anderson, 1998). The goal of the International Human Proteome Project (HPP) is mapping the entire human proteome to improve our understanding of human cellular biology and facilitate development of diagnostic, prognostic, therapeutic, and preventive medical applications. Approximately 20,300 genes are identified in the human genome which code for proteins (Paik et al., 2012). The goal of the HPP is to identify at least one protein from each of these genes in at least one human tissue. 1.1.2 Transcriptomics Proteins are difficult molecules to characterize because of the ubiquity of protein modifications, both at the post-transcriptional RNA level and post-translational protein level. These are independent processes. Transcriptomics is the branch of life science between genomics and proteomics: the study of nucleotide chains of mRNA isolated from tissue. The genome codes for a set of basic protein building blocks, but this is only the starting point and biological processes modify these to create the almost infinite functionality required for life. Transcriptomics reveals changes that occur between mRNA transcription and protein translation. It is estimated that post-transcriptional RNA modifications are responsible for as many as a 5-fold increase in 2 proteins as the number of genes alone (potentially coding for as many as 100,000 proteins (Sharon et al., 2013). 1.1.3 Post-translational protein modifications Once proteins are translated, post-translational modifications always occur. This may be as simple as cleavage of the N-terminal methionine residue, may involve other internal cleavages, or consist of different modifications such as phosphorylation, acetylation, or the removal of signal peptides. There are over 300 known post-translational modifications which are estimated to produce in the order of 10 times more final protein products than the approximately 100,000 (from transcriptomics ) translated peptide sequences, creating in the order of 1,000,000 different proteins (Beck-Sickinger and M\u00C3\u00B6rl, 2006; Zhao and Jensen, 2009). These modified proteins may be isoforms of a protein family with similar but related functions, or a translated polypeptide may be cleaved into several proteins with independent functions. For example, following translation dentin sialophosphoprotein is cleaved and folded into dentin sialoprotein, dentin phosphoprotein, and dentin glycoprotein, each with independent functions within the dentin matrix (Hargreaves et al., 2012; J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., 2012). Such a discrete cleavage into three proteins with different but related roles is probably uncommon, but evidence shows that a single translated protein can be modified in many different ways so that the different final protein products may appear in different tissues and have different functions. 1.1.4 Protein variability with time A final layer to the complexity of proteomics is its mutability with time. Although epigenetics has demonstrated that changes in chromosomes can affect gene expression the genome is fixed and does not change throughout the life of an organism. Genetics is the basic blueprint from which the infinite adaptability and complexity of proteomics is created downstream through 3 transcription, translation and post-translational modifications. Protein expression changes constantly depending on the needs of a cell and biologic demands placed on tissues. Some proteins are common, for example type I collagen is frequently a component of extracellular matrix. As such Type I collagen is a relatively stable element within these tissues. However, other proteins may be more reactive, may be needed only in small quantities or at rare intervals, for example due to a stressful event or lack of a nutrient. These latter proteins will be more difficult to identify. 1.1.5 The Human Proteome Project The basic strategy of the human proteome project is to do proteomic studies on as many tissues as possible in order to identify as many proteins as possible. The dental pulp is an accessible tissue that could contribute significantly to this work. Some work has already been done on human pulp proteomics, which I will review. I will also discuss dentin proteomics because the odontoblast layer of dental pulp generates dentin. Thus, pulp and dentin proteomics are closely related and it is beneficial to be familiar with both in the study of dental pulp. 1.2 Dental pulp 1.2.1 Tooth structure The dental pulp is the soft tissue core of a tooth. Developmentally, the human tooth is created from an infolding of dental epithelium and ectomesenchymal tissue, where the epithelial layer produces ameloblasts, which form the enamel layer of a developing tooth. These cells subsequently undergo programmed cell death when enamel formation is complete. At the same time, mesenchymal tissue, interior to the forming enamel, develops into odontoblasts, which begin to produce dentin; unlike ameloblasts, odontoblasts remain vital and persist following 4 tooth eruption. Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body, while dentin is the second. This is a function of their mineral content: enamel is 96 % inorganic, 4 % water and organic matrix, while dentin is 70 % inorganic, 20 % organic matrix, 10 % water (Hargreaves et al., 2012). The line between dentin and the soft tissue pulp is demarcated by the odontoblast layer, which forms the outermost layer of the pulp abutting the predentin. Predentin is the initial stage of new dentin formation, consisting of mineralized dentin organic matrix newly formed by odontoblasts. Odontoblasts form a continuous unicellular layer of columnar cells at the pulp-dentin border, and these cells extend processes into the dentinal tubules. 1.2.2 Odontoblast function within the pulp organ Odontoblasts perform many roles in the dental pulp organ. Odontoblasts probably communicate with pulp neurons since the odontoblast process penetrate into the dentinal tubules and may be responsible for detecting stimuli that cause tooth sensation. However, histology studies have shown that axons penetrate the odontoblast layer and also enter dentinal tubules, although probably not as deeply as the odontoblast processes. These nerve fibers could also be responsible for dental sensation. Dental nerve fibers also play a defensive role in initiating pulpal inflammatory responses following stimulation by bacterial toxins, e.g. Lipopolysacharide (LPS), through the release of neuropeptides (Henry and Hargreaves, 2007). Odontoblasts could be responsible, or involved in the initiation of this neuropeptide release. Odontoblasts are also known to be the primary cell type responsible for dentin formation, maintenance and repair. Odontoblasts can be renewed and regenerated throughout life, as new dental pulp stem cells are stimulated to differentiate to replace odontoblasts that have been destroyed by advancing carious lesions, trauma, etc. (Hargreaves et al., 2012). 5 1.3 Literature review of related studies Prior to our group\u00E2\u0080\u0099s work there are only two published studies that directly examine human dental pulp proteomics in vivo; several other studies examined pulp tissue culture proteomics in vitro, and several more looked at dentin proteomics. 1.3.1 P\u00C3\u00A4\u00C3\u00A4kk\u00C3\u00B6nen et al. 2005 P\u00C3\u00A4\u00C3\u00A4kk\u00C3\u00B6nen et al. 2005 analyzed pulp tissue prepared in a similar manner to me from extracted wisdom teeth, but examined both the mRNA gene transcripts, and tissue sample protein extract (P\u00C3\u00A4\u00C3\u00A4kk\u00C3\u00B6nen et al., 2005). Also of note P\u00C3\u00A4\u00C3\u00A4kk\u00C3\u00B6nen\u00E2\u0080\u0099s group divided pulp tissue samples into two groups: 1) those from healthy wisdom teeth and 2) those from carious wisdom teeth. P\u00C3\u00A4\u00C3\u00A4kk\u00C3\u00B6nen\u00E2\u0080\u0099s study was commendable in that it attempted to find proteomic differences between healthy and diseased tissues so that proteins could be identified which are expressed under different conditions. By characterizing both the transcriptome, using cDNA microarrays, and the proteome, using 2D gel electrophoresis and MS analysis, the authors hypothesized that differences would be found between healthy pulps and carious pulps. This makes intuitive sense since caries bacteria stimulate pulp tissue to form tertiary dentin and initiate activation of both the innate and adaptive immune systems. Some differences were found in transcription, but the heterogeneity of samples meant these differences may well have appeared stochastically. In terms of mRNA, they found evidence that 396 genes were expressed in at least one sample of the 1081 cDNAs screened. This was assessed by fluorescence level for a given cDNA, which was quantified to indicate if the gene was transcribed or not, and if this signal was 5x this base level for expression it was classified as \u00E2\u0080\u0098highly expressed.\u00E2\u0080\u0099 But for calculating differences between carious and heathy tooth structure a difference of 1.4x was considered to represent a \u00E2\u0080\u0098true difference.\u00E2\u0080\u0099 These 6 factors are somewhat arbitrary, but the data produced shows that the same proteins may be active in both samples but more are transcribed in either healthy or carious pulp depending on the gene. This shows that biologic function is not only influenced by the presence or absence of proteins but by their relative numbers and proportions. The proteomics analyses found evidence of 96 proteins. In terms of our results, these numbers are very small. Individual cells probably require as many as 10,000-30,000 proteins at a given point in time to carry out their biological functions (Alberts et al., 2002). Thus, by identifying only 96 proteins, approximately 1 % or less of the total proteome, they had a low chance of finding differences caused by pulpal response to caries. Of these 96 proteins, only 12 were translated from the expressed cDNAs and none from the highly expressed cDNAs that had been identified in the transcriptomics portion of the study. Before we can confidently move into an area where we can identify differences in proteomics between diseased and healthy tissues, we should ideally establish a consistent baseline, e.g. multiple studies from multiple centers find the same or a similar proteome for healthy dental pulp, and this should be a large proteome in the order of 10,000 plus proteins so we can be confident most of the proteins found in the dental tissue are represented. Also, proteomics is even now not quantitative and differences in the number of peptides found may reflect relative differences in peptide stability under experimental conditions as well as the number of parent proteins expressed in the tissue sample. 1.3.1.1 Two dimensional (2D) Gel electrophoresis P\u00C3\u00A4\u00C3\u00A4kk\u00C3\u00B6nen\u00E2\u0080\u0099s study used 2D gel electrophoresis to separate proteins based on their mass and isoelectric points. Briefly proteins are solubilized and electrophoresed based on isoelectric point; these gel samples are then loaded onto SDS-PAGE gels where they are subjected to another electric field and move through the gel at a rate inversely proportional to their mass. There was no difference found between the protein spots on the healthy pulp gel compared with the 7 carious pulp gel, so expression of these 96 proteins was approximately the same in both samples. The authors suggested this could be because the carious pulp samples they selected were from teeth that had only small or moderate sized carious lesions, meaning inflammation would be limited and localized to a small area of the pulp leaving the majority of pulp tissue in a healthy condition. The final phase of 2D gel proteomics is to cut each protein dot from the gel, digest the protein into peptide fragments, and put these through MS to produce spectra which can identify the parent protein. This technique is effective at identifying proteins since the mass, isoelectric point, and MS peptide identification, can all be used to confirm the protein is correctly identified. However, it is laborious, and proteins must be present in sufficient quantities to appear as a stained spot on the gel to be identified. Typically studies of this nature identify hundreds of proteins, where complete tissue proteomes are probably in excess of 10,000 proteins. 1.3.2 Wei et al. Cell culture study Wei et al. took a very different approach in studying pulp proteomics (Wei et al., 2008). The authors took a tissue culture of dental pulp stem cells, and induced these with \u00CE\u00B2-glycerophosphate, which stimulates dental pulp stem cells to differentiate into odontoblasts. This is an important step in the formation of reparative dentin when new odontoblasts are required to replace cells destroyed by rapidly advancing caries. Induced cell culture protein extract was compared to non-induced control culture and protein spots were compared on 2D gels using immunofluorescence to identify differences in expression. Spots that were over- or under-expressed in the induced cell culture were excised from the gels, dissolved, put through trypsin digest and MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. 23 proteins were identified to be up or down regulated in cultured dental pulp stem cells induced to develop into odontoblasts. The authors grouped these as cytoskeletal proteins, nuclear proteins, calcium binding proteins, proteins 8 involved in matrix synthesis, metabolic enzymes, cell signaling or proteins with unknown functions. This is a commendable study, showing how different environmental conditions change protein expression. However, this is a tissue culture study and in vivo conditions are understood to be much more complicated than a single cell line being exposed to a single stimulus. Also of note, authors in many proteomics papers categorize proteins found as belonging to certain sub-groups of proteins. This implies the functions of proteins identified are well understood. But multiple functions are usually ascribed to given proteins, and this list tends to expand with time. The same protein, or different isoforms of a protein, may perform varying functions in different tissues. Thus, assigning a functional role to a given protein identified in a tissue is somewhat arbitrary. For example, Wei lists Vimentin as being a cytoskeletal protein. Vimentin has been identified in this role, but the UniProt website (http://www.uniprot.org) lists multiple other functions, including double stranded RNA binding, glycoprotein binding, identical protein binding, keratin filament binding, C-protein terminus binding, scaffold protein binding, a structural constituent of cytoskeleton, and a structural constituent of eye lens. Thus vimentin\u00E2\u0080\u0099s exact function within this cell line under this stimulus is uncertain. 1.3.3 J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al. dentin and dental pulp studies Two further papers I will review are from J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al (Eckhardt et al., 2014; J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., 2012). They used extracted wisdom teeth, taking five teeth from five donors, ages 22-23. The technique they used to separate dentin from pulp, enamel and cementum was to first scrape away the cementum layer and soft tissue remnants with an iron spatula, and then to remove the coronal part of the tooth by cutting away the crown beneath the cemento-enamel junction. Following these procedures, the tooth roots were crushed in a jaw vice. Finally pulp and dentin fragments were separated manually with cotton pliers and frozen in liquid nitrogen. The first study is an analysis of the dentin proteome, the second of the pulp proteome. These proteomes 9 are related since dentin is understood to by synthesized by pulp. As Eckhardt states in the second paper in this series, their objective was not only to \u00E2\u0080\u009Ccreate a. . .list of proteins present in human dental pulp tissue,\u00E2\u0080\u009D but also to \u00E2\u0080\u009Cstudy the proteins in the pulp-dentin complex.\u00E2\u0080\u009D Several other studies have been done on dentin proteomics (Chun et al., 2011; Park et al., 2009) ,but J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al\u00E2\u0080\u0099s is the most comprehensive. Finally, in this chapter I will briefly discuss a review paper (J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., 2014). 1.3.3.1 J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al. Dentin proteomics The first of their papers examines the dentin proteome (J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., 2012). Frozen dentin fragments were pulverized into powder, which were extracted with GuHCl, demineralized with EDTA, and finally subjected to gel separation. J\u00C3\u00A1gr used 2D gel separation of dentin proteins where previous dentin proteome studies had used 1D gel separation. This contributed to improved annotation of proteins through more peptide identifications. Gel protein analysis is advantageous in that it produces some quantitative information where my research, to be discussed later, is purely qualitative, e.g. showing the protein was present but giving no indication of its relative proportion within the total tissue protein. J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al. are also aware that proteins with high pH values are not separated well on gels, nor are proteins with high or low molecular weight. Following the 2D gel separation technique protein dots were removed, dissolved, trypsin digest was performed followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. 1.3.3.2 The Dentin proteome is relatively small Dentin is potentially an advantageous tissue to do proteomics on since the number of proteins in dentin may be less than in most soft tissues. The mineralized tissue component of dentin is non-vital so it can be expected that dentin organic matrix is fairly consistent, made up from a limited number of proteins laid down as a lattice during the initial stages of dentin synthesis. 10 Importantly, these proteins probably have minimal turnover, due to tissue non-vitality, whereas the vital dental pulp proteome in all likelihood changes dynamically, both during development and in response to environmental changes caused by caries, trauma etc. J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al. compare their results with the two other dentin proteomics studies cited above and stated the top 10 most abundant proteins found in dentin were \u00E2\u0080\u009Capproximately\u00E2\u0080\u009D the same in all three studies. Despite this somewhat vague conclusion this is a primary goal of proteomics research: to find correlation between different studies of the same tissue. They were able to find 289 proteins but 20 were removed from the total because they were likely contaminant proteins, keratins etc. Keratin could have come from skin, despite careful gloved handling of tissues, in sufficient quantities to appear on experimental gels. An issue with J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al\u00E2\u0080\u0099s study, and many proteomic studies, is purity of sample. Experimental teeth were crushed and the soft tissue components removed, but because odontoblast processes extend into dentin, pulpal soft tissue is an integral component of dentin hard tissue and very difficult to remove. Also, the separation of soft and hard tissue components with tissue pliers may be where many of these putative contaminants originated in the sample, since smaller fragments would have been difficult to see and remove. For example, the authors identified three enamel proteins\u00E2\u0080\u0094ANXA1, ANXA2 and ANXA5\u00E2\u0080\u0094that are probably contaminants from enamel that became accidentally incorporated into the sample. This is always an issue with proteomics, proteins identified in tissue samples cannot be specifically tagged to cells or tissue regions unless radiolabeled antibodies to individual proteins are made, which can later be localized using tissue histology. For example, immune response proteins were identified in this study, suggesting dentin is a more biologically active tissue than is thought, but these proteins could also have come from fragments of dental pulp tissue in the original dentin sample. 11 1.3.3.3 Eckhard et al., 2014 the dental pulp proteome The second half of this study examined the dental pulp tissue from the original crushed wisdom tooth roots (Eckhardt et al., 2014). The manner in which pulp samples were obtained, crushing the roots in a vice and removing the hard tissue fragments, could have created considerable contamination of sample with dentin, cementum and even enamel fragments. Moreover these procedures would have involved significant trauma to pulp tissue and encouraged natural proteolysis, possibly reducing the final yield of proteins, e.g. caspase activity associated with apoptosis. Eckhardt et al. performed a good analysis of the proteins they found in pulp and compare these to the proteins previously found in their dentin samples. They also include a thorough review of dental pulp literature and drew attention to examples of specific proteins found in both their and other studies. For example, they highlighted vimentin and nestin (which we also found in our 2015 study) (Eckhard et al., 2015; Eckhardt et al., 2014). 1.3.3.4 Eckhardt et al., 2014 data analysis A criticism of this research is that the LC-MS/MS analysis is not up to current standards. They used Mascot thresholds for determining the true hits, a Mascot score \u00E2\u0089\u00A5 20 to identify a peptide and \u00E2\u0089\u00A5 60 to identify a protein. The current standard is to start with the search software, e.g. Mascot, but then input this search engine data into higher level software, e.g. the TPP, to assess the number and quality of mascot hits for specific peptides in determining FDR for both peptides and proteins (in our study we used FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 % for both). This is not wrong per se but does not conform to current HPP standards (Deutsch et al., 2016a). Using their data analysis protocols they found 342 pulp proteins. 12 1.3.3.5 Practical applications of proteomics research In their introduction, Eckhardt et al., made an effort to relate their proteomic research to clinical application for regeneration and repair of the pulp dentin complex (Eckhardt et al., 2014). The \u00E2\u0080\u0098why\u00E2\u0080\u0099 and \u00E2\u0080\u0098where will this take us\u00E2\u0080\u0099 are valid questions in proteomic research, but clinical applications are still largely conjectural and, at this stage, proteomics is more molecular anatomy than becoming applied molecular science. We need to understand the anatomy before we can understand function and the anatomy is very complicated as I discuss in this thesis. I do not feel we are on the verge of discovering some critical protein that will revascularize the pulp-dentin complex in regenerative endodontic therapy and the authors mislead the reader somewhat in suggesting they were. Eckhardt et al. show a Venn diagram (Fig. 2) illustrating 37 proteins shared by pulp and dentin tissues which are not present in the plasma. They concluded \u00E2\u0080\u009Cthese proteins might be candidates to participate in the unique pulp-dentin complex and thus have potential in future regenerative approaches.\u00E2\u0080\u009D This is a misrepresentation of their data. Any of the proteins in the pulp tissue could be important for regeneration, since it is the pulp which produces the dentin. Dentin contains growth factors that stimulate the pulp to differentiate and lay down dentin (Hargreaves et al., 2012). But the authors seem to infer that a Venn overlap indicates an anatomical relationship where the proteins are working side by side to create new dentin. Eckhardt et al. made a brief attempt to justify their claim that their research is important to improve regenerative therapy in discussing a cell culture study comparing the proteomes of bovine dental pulp stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and periodontal ligament stem cells, finding 5 proteins that were upregulated in the dental stem cells compared with the other two stem cell populations (Mrozik et al., 2010). Eckhardt et al. identified two of these in their research: ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hyrdrolase isozyme L1 and Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor 1. However, G6PD is a basic enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, active in all cells, 13 Eckhardt et al., did not discuss how this protein could be important for regenerative therapy. These experiments are significant efforts to better understand proteomics, how protein expression changes across related cell types and within cell types under changing conditions. However, I feel it is important to not overstate the short term impact of proteomics\u00E2\u0080\u0094which is still firmly in the realm of basic science\u00E2\u0080\u0094or proteomics may lose credibility. J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al. also published a broader review in \u00E2\u0080\u009CProteomics of Human Teeth and Saliva\u00E2\u0080\u009D which discusses pulp and dentin in some depth and their relationships with other tooth components and the importance of saliva (J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., 2014). I mention this paper because the authors discuss caries, the commonest disease of teeth, and highlight how much remains unknown about why some individuals are caries resistant while others are caries susceptible. J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., propose this may well be due to protein antibacterial agents or proteins which protect tooth surfaces in some way. These could be components of saliva or dentinal fluid. Elucidating other protein mechanisms of caries resistance or caries susceptibility could lead to clinical applications or at least to better understanding of cariology and epidemiology. Individual variation in the ability of saliva to buffer bacterial acids which cause caries is well understood, but there could be additional pulpal elements, potentially proteins, which also confer caries resistance. 1.3.3.6 Organic matrix of dentin The role the organic matrix of dentin plays in initiating and regulating dentin mineralization is understood on a conceptual level but not in detail. For example, J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al. discuss how some matrix proteins are thought to act as nucleators, attracting hydroxyapatite crystal formation around them, while other proteins act as inhibitors to mineralization, possibly maintaining patency of dentinal tubules (J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., 2014). Clinical endodontics shows many examples of how mineralization can go awry, for example root canal calcification, formation of pulp stones, 14 sclerotic dentin. Dentin and root canals are highly variable structures. They go on to highlight many pathological processes within dentin already understood to involve problems with proteins. Collagens are the major protein component of dentin, comprising 85-90 % of its organic structure. Collagen type I is a simple protein made up of X-gly-X repeats, but it\u00E2\u0080\u0099s combinations with other forms of collagen and 3-D molecular structure quickly make it a very complicated lattice upon which hydroxyapatite can be laid down. Collagen types III, V, VI, XI, XII are all understood to be components of dentin organic matrix. Minor protein components of dentine may be just as important in affecting its biological properties. For example, defects in dentin sialophosphoprotein, the most abundant non-collagenous protein found in dentin, are associated with dentin dysplasia type II and dentinogenesis imperfecta types II and III. Dentin sialophosphoprotein is thought to stimulate mineralization of dentin but dentin sialophosphoprotein is also found in non-mineralizing tissues where it must perform other functions (J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., 2014). 1.3.3.7 Dentin participation in the immune response? J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al. 2014 hypothesize dentin protein components of the immune response may contribute to caries prevention. But the evidence level is weak to make this supposition. Can the immune response of the dentin-pulp complex prevent caries? Caries can progress slower or faster in different individuals and this may be related to pulpal immune response, but it would be difficult to design a study which standardized patient bacterial flora, diet and oral hygiene\u00E2\u0080\u0094known strong risk factors, so that significant dentin-pulp complex immune protein effects could be observed. J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al. discuss all of the dental pulp\u00E2\u0080\u0099s cellular constituents, their role in dentin regeneration, immune response, and tooth sensation and how the neural component of dental pulp is vital to function in many ways. For example, denervated teeth have been shown to have diminished survival, confirming important cooperation between odontoblasts and/or other pulpal 15 cells, and nerve fibers. In addition to fibroblasts, the dental pulp stroma interior to the odontoblast layer is made up of many immune cells: dendritic cells, macrophages, lymphocytes, endothelial cells, and mesenchymal cells including dental pulp stem cells, which are one of the potential stem cell populations to allow pulp regeneration/ revascularization therapy. 1.3.4 Eckhard et al., 2015 1.3.4.1 Currently the definitive study in pulp proteomics The largest pulp proteomics study to date, was published by our group in 2015 (Eckhard et al., 2015). We found 4332 proteins at an FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 %, making it by far the most extensive pulp proteomics study to date. This was a proteomics oriented study, aimed at identifying the largest number of proteins possible with high confidence using multiple search engines and the TPP, closely adhering to HPP mass spectrometry guidelines for the standardization of data interpretation in protein identification worldwide (Deutsch et al., 2016a). Most of the techniques I employed in my research protocols were developed in this research so the body of my thesis is in many ways part two of this 2015 study. 1.3.4.2 Missing proteins Eckhard et al. discuss the problem of persistent missing proteins. After numerous high quality, large scale proteomics studies, more than 12 % of predicted proteins remain undetected, likely due to one of six possible factors. Missing proteins remain unfound because they either: 1) appear only in organs or regions difficult to study, 2) are expressed only during certain developmental stages (e.g.. prenatally), 3) are expressed only under unusual stress conditions at which times it is difficult to take tissue samples, 4) are present in very small numbers and so below detectability with current technology, 5) lack tryptic cleavage sites to produce peptides of manageable size for LC-MS/MS detection (e.g. peptides which are too long to be processed 16 predictably), or 6) share sequence homology with other proteins. This last possibility is an interesting dilemma where the same tryptic peptide may originate from several different proteins. In such situations, the TPP counts the redundant peptide as contributing to confirming all potential source proteins, but additional non-redundant peptides are required to confirm that each specific protein is present. Thus, if a \u00E2\u0080\u0098missing\u00E2\u0080\u0099 protein has only tryptic cleavage sites which produce peptides shared with other proteins, and lacks a specific non-redundant peptide which can originate only from the missing protein, then it will not be positively Identified with proteomics using trypsin digest peptides, even though it\u00E2\u0080\u0099s redundant peptides are present in the samples. 1.3.4.3 Patterns of peptide N-terminus modifications Eckhard et al. performed a thorough analysis of modifications to identified peptides which show patterns applicable to human proteomics in general, for example they found that where the N-terminus was an Alanine, Serine, or Threonine residue it was almost always acetylated, whereas for Glycine, Lysine and Valine residues N-termini were typically free. Eckhard et al. discuss the complex biology of dental pulp, being comprised of fibroblasts, plasma proteins and other proteins derived from red and white blood cells, e.g. cathepsin K from neutrophil lysosomes. Dentin sialophosphoprotein was also identified in the pulp samples and attributed this to the presence of odontoblasts. The paper discusses how ideally proteins should be identified with several high quality peptide spectra matches and for the best confirmation such peptide spectra are compared to the spectra of synthetically derived reference peptides. The analysis of peptides identified is very detailed and reveals many interesting products, for example proteins were identified with unprocessed signal peptides. These signal peptides indicate the protein is marked to be secreted. So these proteins were identified somewhere 17 between translation and secretion (when the signal peptide is usually removed by signal peptidases)(Eckhard et al., 2015). 1.3.4.4 Novel cleavages identified by TOPFINDER tool This study shows the power of our preTAILS shotgun combined with TAILS analysis examining semi-ArgC peptide cleavage products in expanding the proteome of dental pulp. We discovered many internal N-termini indicating novel cleavages, many of which we were able to map with the web tool TOPFINDER developed by our group. This is a data analysis tool that contains information on existing evidence for novel termini, so our N-terminal peptides could be confirmed as previously identified, or if not they could be added to the database. This is an important collaborative tool into post-translational modifications; individual protein products which undergo enzymatic cleavage to form multiple proteins with independent biologic activity. 1.4 Research goals My research was fairly large in scope, examining the dental pulps of 26 wisdom teeth from 9 donors. The primary goal of my study was to separate the central pulp tissue from the odontoblast cell layer to produce an odontoblast enriched sample and a pulpal stroma sample. Then by using techniques developed in our earlier study (Eckhard et al., 2015), I hoped to demonstrate differences in the proteomes of these two tissues, reflecting their different functional roles in the dentin-pulp complex. My secondary goals were to continue our earlier research by confirming and further annotating the pulp stroma proteome and, hopefully, identify some proteins classified as \u00E2\u0080\u0098missing\u00E2\u0080\u0099 within the neXtProt database (http://www.nextprot.org). I also wanted to take advantage of the fact that our donors age ranged from 15 to 39 years, a period during which wisdom teeth complete their development, meaning they shift from the late developmental period of rapid dentin formation and root completion, to the adult period of dentin 18 maintenance. By comparing the younger pulps, i.e. \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 20 years, to the mature pulps, i.e. > 20 years, I hoped to find proteomic differences that reflected this shift. This would give me multiple data sets to compare, pulp stroma to odontoblast, young to mature, young stroma to old stroma etc. By subdividing and comparing the proteomes of these different groups I hoped to gain insight into the biology of dental pulp through patterns and/or differences I identified. _________________________________________________________ 19 Chapter 2: Body of Thesis 2.1 Introduction The human dental pulp organ is the terminal developmental stage of the embryologic dental papilla from which the mesenchymal tooth elements, pulp and dentin, originate. As such the dental pulp is responsible for the various developmental stages of dentin and then dentin maintenance throughout life. Upon tooth eruption, the dental pulp establishes neural communication with the trigeminal ganglion, which allows tooth sensation, for example to temperature, pressure, pH, and osmotic forces. The dental pulp also responds to various events and stresses that may occur in the life of the tooth, e.g. caries, trauma, occlusal disturbances (Hargreaves et al., 2012; Kumar, 2011). Thus, knowledge of the pulp proteome should lead to improved understanding of pulpal function at a molecular level, and this has potential for clinical translation e.g. to reduce chronic dentinal sensitivity, or to encourage pulpal regeneration. Cell protein expression dynamically changes depending on the current needs of the cell and the cell\u00E2\u0080\u0099s role within tissue. Furthermore, different regions of an organ are specialized to perform specific functions. Thus, the odontoblast layer is responsible for producing and maintaining dentin, synthesizing proteins in common with other mineralized tissues, and unique proteins with roles in mineralization, most notably the dentin-specific dentin sialophosphoprotein (MacDougall et al., 1997), whereas the pulpal stroma is responsible for supplying nutrients and removing metabolites from the odontoblast cell layer and also maintaining the nerve and blood supply to the pulp. No proteomic analysis has been performed to date on odontoblasts, due in part to their low cell numbers and unique monolayer distribution in the pulp chamber. Moreover, few proteomics studies have been performed on pulp or dentin and these have mostly utilized 2-D gel-based proteomic analysis. Thus, the odontoblast proteome is unknown and our previous 20 reverse-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis of human dental pulp represents the largest data set of any dental tissue to date (Eckhard et al., 2015). Here we developed a technique to extract odontoblast cell layer protein for proteomic analysis from the limited numbers of cells present in the human odontoblast layer. We compared this proteome with paired analyses of healthy dental pulps from prophylactic 3rd molar extractions. 2.2 Materials and methods 2.2.1 Pulp harvest procedure and protein extraction Informed consent was obtained from patients according to protocols approved by the University of British Columbia Clinical Research Ethics Board. Human dental pulps were collected from healthy, caries-free 3rd molars of two female and seven male patients, ranging from 15 to 39 years of age (Table 1). All extractions were prophylactic. Immediately after extraction, the teeth were partially sectioned vertically or axially with a high-speed dental turbine under water spray, to minimize heating or traumatizing pulp tissue, and split in two with a dental elevator exposing the pulp. Using sterile curettes and barbed broaches, tissue from the pulp chambers and coronal thirds of root canals was harvested and placed in 250 \u00C2\u00B5L of protein denaturant solution (8 M GuHCl) and transported on dry ice. After weighing the pulp samples, 8 M GuHCl was added to 500 \u00C2\u00B5L and the samples were stored at -80 \u00C2\u00B0C. For sample preparation, the pulps were homogenized using an Ultra-Turrax (IKA Works, Inc.) in 8 M GuHCl and further extracted for 90 min at 22 \u00C2\u00B0C\u00E2\u0080\u0094conditions under which pulp proteins, including proteases, are denatured and inactivated. Dental pulp protein was collected by chloroform/methanol precipitation and dissolved in 500 \u00C2\u00B5L of 8 M GuHCl, as described previously (Eckhard et al., 2015). The protein concentration was determined using the Bradford assay (Bio-Rad) with bovine serum albumin as a standard. To extract protein from the odontoblast cell layer after removal of the pulp stroma 21 we employed a modified crucible technique that we had pioneered previously (Tj\u00C3\u00A4derhane et al., 1998) and had used to show that human odontoblasts remain firmly attached to the dentin and so can be cultured for several days upon addition of culture medium. Following a similar procedure, the four decoronated and depulped 3rd molars, consisting of the root trunk apical to the cementoenamel junction and the attached tooth roots, were vertically mounted in beading wax to create a closed system where the canal foramina were occluded. The pulp chambers and root canal systems were filled with ~100 \u00C2\u00B5L 8 M GuHCl denaturant solution and the odontoblast cell layer protein, with potentially some nonmineralized dentin matrix proteins, was extracted overnight at 22 \u00C2\u00BAC (Fig. 1A). Following two 50 \u00C2\u00B5L 8 M GuHCl washes, the denaturant solution and washes were pooled for each donor, and processed as described above for the pulp stroma samples. 2.2.2 Histological analysis The pulp from tooth #48, donor 5 was fixed in 4 % paraformaldehyde in PBS overnight at 4 \u00C2\u00B0C. The sample was subsequently washed four times with PBS, dehydrated through a graded series of ethanol washes, and cleared with xylene. The sample was then embedded in paraffin blocks and cut into serial sections of 12 \u00CE\u00BCm thickness. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and digital image recording were performed by Wax-it Histology Services at the University of British Columbia to confirm the amount of the odontoblast cell layer remaining on typical pulp samples (Fig. 1B). 2.2.3 TAILS N-terminomics Protein N-termini enrichment by TAILS was performed as follows (Fig. 2) (Kleifeld et al., 2011b): samples were reduced in 5 mM dithiothreitol (30 min, 65 \u00C2\u00B0C) to allow cysteine carbamidomethylation using 15 mM iodoacetamide (45 min in the dark, room temperature). 22 Excess blocking reagent was quenched by adding 10 mM dithiothreitol (30 min, room temperature). The pH was then adjusted to 6.5, to allow reductive dimethylation of primary amines, with 40 mM heavy formaldehyde (13CD2O in D2O; Cambridge Isotopes) and 20 mM sodium cyanoborohydride (overnight at 37 \u00C2\u00B0C). Importantly, blocking of primary amines was performed at the whole protein level before trypsin digest. Thus, protein alpha amines of free protein N-termini were labeled, thereby allowing for their enrichment and discrimination by TAILS from internal tryptic peptides. Following overnight incubation, 20 mM heavy formaldehyde and 20 mM cyanoborohydride were readded (2 h, 37 \u00C2\u00B0C) to ensure complete amine labeling. Reactions were then quenched using 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8 (30 min, 37 \u00C2\u00B0C), and reagents and salts removed by chloroform/methanol protein precipitation (Wessel and Fl\u00C3\u00BCgge, 1984). Polypeptide pellets were dissolved in 50 mM NaOH, adjusted to pH 7.5 with 100 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazine-ethanesulfonic acid, 250 \u00C2\u00B5L, diluted 1:1 with HPLC-grade water, and digested with mass spectrometry\u00E2\u0080\u0090grade trypsin (Trypsin Gold, Promega) at 100:1 (w/w) protein:enzyme ratio. Following overnight incubation at 37 \u00C2\u00B0C, digestion efficiency was confirmed with SDS-PAGE. 10 % of the tryptic digest was analyzed by shotgun proteomics \u00E2\u0080\u009CpreTAILS\u00E2\u0080\u009D analyses (~50 \u00CE\u00BCg protein). To separate trypsin-generated internal and C-terminal peptides and to allow for enrichment of the N-terminome, the TAILS samples were adjusted to pH 6.5 and water-soluble HPG-ALD polymer (http://flintbox.com/public/project/1948/) was added (5x peptide mass w/w) in 20 mM sodium cyanoborohydride, pH 6.8 (37 \u00C2\u00B0C, overnight) to covalently link the tryptic peptides via their free primary alpha amines to the polymer. The coupling reaction was quenched with 100 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer, pH 6.8 (30 min, 37 \u00C2\u00B0C), and both the naturally blocked (e.g. acetylated or pyro-Glu) and experimentally labeled N-terminal peptides (dimethylated N-terminal peptides) were collected by ultra-filtration (Amicon Ultra-0.5, MWCO 10 kDa). The internal tryptic and C-terminal peptides covalently bound to the polymer remained trapped on the filter. All blocked N-terminal peptides comprising 23 the N-terminome (TAILS) and shotgun (preTAILS) samples were desalted using C18 STAGE-tips (Rappsilber et al., 2007) and frozen in liquid nitrogen until analysis by LC-MS/MS according to (Eckhard et al., 2015). 2.2.4 Mass spectrometry Peptide samples after C18 STAGE-tip purification were analyzed using an Accurate Mass G6550A quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer (Agilent), coupled on-line to a nanoflow HPLC (Agilent 1200 Series) with a Chip Cube nanospray ionization interface (Agilent). A high capacity HPLC-Chip (Agilent) with 160 nL enrichment column and a 0.075 mm x 150 mm analytical column (Zorbax 300SB-C18, 5 \u00CE\u00BCm) was used. Each sample was loaded on the enrichment column at a flow rate of 4 \u00CE\u00BCL/min (buffer A; 0.1 % formic acid) and with a 4 \u00CE\u00BCL injection flush volume. After that, a 110.2 min gradient was established at 300 nL/min; first from 0 % to 5 % buffer B (99.9 % acetonitrile, 0.1 % formic acid) over 2 min, then from 5 % to 45 % buffer B over 78 min, then increased to 60 % over 10 minutes, and brought in one step (0.1 min) to 95 % buffer B, held at 95 % for 20 min, and then reduced to 3 % buffer B again (0.1 min) to recondition the column for the next analysis. Peptides were ionized by electrospray ionization at 1.8 kV, and MS-analysis was performed in positive polarity with precursor ions detected between 300 and 2000 m/z. The top three ions per scan were selected for collision induced dissociation (CID) using a narrow exclusion window of 1.3 atomic mass units and at a MS/MS scan rate of two spectra per second. The collision energy was adjusted automatically depending on the charge state of the parent ions, and precursor ions were then excluded for 30 s from further CID. The LC-MS/MS system was controlled by Mass Hunter version B.02.01 (Agilent). 24 2.2.5 Data analysis Agilent LC-MS/MS raw data were converted to mgf and mzXML files using MSConvertGUI (Chambers et al., 2012) so that the acquired spectra could be matched to peptide sequences in the human UniProt protein database (http://www.uniprot.org, release 2013_10) using four dedicated search engines, Mascot v2.4 (Perkins et al., 1999), X! Tandem CYCLONE TPP 2011.12.01.1 (Craig and Beavis, 2004), MS-GF+ v10072 (Kim and Pevzner, 2014), and Comet 2015.01 rev 0 (Eng et al., 2013). Search criteria were set at a semi-ArgC cleavage pattern using the same parameters as in our earlier study (Eckhard et al., 2015). Identified peptide-spectrum-matches (PSMs) were statistically evaluated using PeptideProphet (Keller et al., 2002), and combined using iProphet (Shteynberg et al., 2011) within the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) v4.8.0 PHILAE (Deutsch et al., 2015); a 1 % false discovery rate (FDR) cut-off was applied. Peptides were assigned to proteins using the ProteinProphet (Nesvizhskii et al., 2003) module within TPP, and protein probability was set to \u00E2\u0089\u00A5 0.95, equivalent to a FDR of \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 %. Where peptides matched multiple protein sequences, ProteinProphet chose one protein entry as representative. 2.2.6 Bioinformatics analysis For a peptide to be classified as a valid N-terminus it required both a blocked N-terminus and a C-terminal arginine. Note that while trypsin normally cleaves C-terminal of both arginine and lysine residues, lysines in the TAILS workflow were dimethylated at the protein level and so were protected from trypsin cleavage. Blocked true N-termini were classified as those with either: 1) an N-terminus carrying a heavy dimethyl label, indicative of a free amino terminus before trypsin digest, or 2) an acetylated N-terminus or pyro-glutamate N-terminus, both of which are enzymatically mediated modified N-termini. Two other blocked N-terminal peptides were selected for by the TAILS protocol, but do not necessarily represent protein N-termini as 25 they mainly result from spontaneous N-terminal cyclization of glutamine (Gln->pyro\u00E2\u0080\u0090Gln) or carbamidomethylated cysteine (Cys -> pyro-Cys). These cyclizations are known side-reactions of tryptic peptides under the applied experimental conditions, but are useful to improve protein identification since they are valid predominantly internal peptides. Protein identifications of so-called \u00E2\u0080\u009Cmissing\u00E2\u0080\u009D proteins were based on neXtProt classes PE2-PE5 (www.nextprot.org, release 2014-09-19) and rechecked against release 2017-04-12. Thus, due to the risk of missed assignment of internal tryptic peptides commencing with a cysteine or glutamine as N-termini, this stringency of analysis excludes potential bona fide natural N-termini commencing with Gln or Cys from being further considered. 2.3 Results 2.3.1 Protein extract sample summary The homogeneity of the central pulp stroma and its separation from the majority of the odontoblast cell layer was confirmed by histology (Fig. 1B,C). As the pulp tissue sample contained proportionally a very small number of remnant odontoblasts, the proteomic data needs be interpreted with this minor caveat. A total of 39 LC-MS/MS analyses were performed: 10 of the odontoblast cell layer and 29 of pulp stroma (Table 1). 2.3.2 Proteomic workflow and statistical analysis of mass spectra data Categorization of the N-terminome confirmed high enrichment of N-terminal peptides by TAILS from the internal semi-Arg(C) peptides (Fig. 2) and the figure also shows the relative proportions of the various N-terminal peptides. Figure 3 provides an overview of the numbers of peptides and proteins identified at the various steps in the bioinformatics workflow. Thus, the PSM matches by each of the 4 search engines in the pulp stroma (12,063 nonredundant peptides) and odontoblast cell layer (4,888 nonredundant peptides) before statistical modeling using the 26 TPP are shown in Figure 3A,D. The PSM identifications were then statistically verified using PeptideProphet for the preTAILS shotgun and TAILS N-terminomic analyses and combined Table 1. Pulp Protein Sample Data Table 1. Tooth donor sex, age, and corresponding number of acquired LC-MS/MS shotgun preTAILS and TAILS data sets of donor dental pulp and odontoblast cell layer protein. Numbers of unique peptides and total peptides are the sum of PreTAILS shotgun + TAILS peptides from each donor sample identified by all of the four search engines (Mascot, X! Tandem, MS-GF+, and Comet) and having a PeptideProphet output with an FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 %. 27 using iProphet for the pulp stroma (total of 11,314 peptides; 2-way Venn diagrams) and odontoblast cell layer (4,648) (Fig. 3A,D; 2-way Venn diagrams). From positional information, the total numbers of protein N-termini were calculated after using iProphet to combine the data sets (Fig. 3B,E; 2-way Venn diagrams), which were assigned to parent proteins from direct interpolation of the peptide data (Fig. 3C,F). Finally, true protein identifications were assigned by ProteinProphet at an FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 % (Fig. 4A-C). TAILS is highly sensitive. Thus, despite the odontoblast cell layer proteome being prepared from a very small number of dentin-adherent odontoblasts and detached tubules after removal of the pulp stroma, we identified one third as many odontoblast proteins (895) as pulp stroma proteins (2,423) (Fig. 4C). 2.3.3 Protein identifications The identification of 2,974 pulp proteins here (Fig. 4A), when combined with our earlier study (Eckhard et al., 2015), have greatly expanded the annotation of the pulp proteome by 5,097 unique proteins (Fig. 4B). This represents a major contribution to the total known pulp protein numbers identified by mass spectrometry (5,190), as revealed by comparing our combined annotation with two earlier studies from other groups (Fig. 4A,B). However, these previous studies were made using 2D gel proteomics performed with one search engine alone and without statistical modeling at a FDR < 5 % (Eckhardt et al., 2014; P\u00C3\u00A4\u00C3\u00A4kk\u00C3\u00B6nen et al., 2005). Note, that due to the increased stringency applied in the identification of peptides and proteins by statistical modeling in our multistep bioinformatics pipeline, the total numbers of peptides and proteins confidently identified was reduced from that initially obtained using search engines alone (see Fig. 3A,C,D,F). Comparison of our odontoblast cell layer proteome data with a previous dentin proteome report (J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., 2012) reveals similarities and differences between the proteins found in the odontoblast cell layer and dentin (Fig. 4C). We also compared the odontoblast cell layer 28 Figure 1.

Appendix Figure 6 shows the total peptide spectra matches for the four search engines. Appendix Figure 7 shows the breakdown of naturally occurring N-termini, compared with neo-N-termini that are the result of unknown proteolytic processing or incidental cleavages. Almost two thirds of N-termini are classified as neo-N-termini in both the odontoblast and pulpal stromal samples, indicating proteolytic events that are as yet unexplained. A similar pattern was seen with N-termini in our earlier study (Eckhard et al., 2015). Appendix Table 1 lists the 211 proteins found in the odontoblast sample (Fig. 4C) that were not identified in the pulpal stroma or dentin. Appendix Tables 3, 4, 5 list proteins found in the young pulp odontoblast sample versus those found in the mature pulp odontoblast sample, and those proteins found in the odontoblast samples of both young and mature pulps (Fig. 4D). Uploaded to ProteomeXchange are the complete peptide and protein lists and all mass spectrometry data from each experiment and mass spectrometry analysis under the PXD identifier \u00CB\u0082PXD006557\u00CB\u0083 2.3.4 Comparison with other tissue matrisomes We compared the extracellular matrix proteins found in the odontoblast cell layer and the dental pulp with tissue distributions of other extracellular matrix proteins in the so called \u00E2\u0080\u009Cmatrisome\u00E2\u0080\u009D (Naba et al., 2016) (Appendix Tables 3 and 4). Dentin is a unique human connective tissue and one that has dentin specific proteins, such as dentin sialophosphoprotein (MacDougall et al., 1997), as well as proteins common to mineralized bone, e.g. osteonectin, osteocalcin, osteopontin, and dentin matrix protein 1. NeXtProt and Peptide Atlas do not list dentin sialophosphoprotein as having been identified by mass spectrometry. Here, we identified the highly charged dentin sialophosphoprotein in the odontoblast cell layer by both N-terminal 30 Figure 2. TAILS workflow and Peptide Classification31 Figure 2.

The pie chart shows the relative proportions of the five main types of N-terminal peptide identified: peptides with experimental conjugated dimethylation (denoted as \u00E2\u0080\u0098free\u00E2\u0080\u0099, unblocked natural N-termini), natural acetylation (predominantly at positions 1 and 2 of the protein chain), or the three common N-terminal cyclizations of glutamate (pyroE), glutamine (pyroQ) or cysteine (pyroC). peptides and shotgun tryptic peptides. Confirming our recent report (Eckhard et al., 2015), we also identified dentin sialophosphoprotein in dental pulp by N-terminal and internal tryptic peptides, where dentin sialophosphoprotein most likely derives from the remnant odontoblasts in the dental pulp sample. Osteonectin, osteocalcin, osteopontin, dentin matrix protein 1 were not identified in the odontoblast cell layer, possibly reflecting completed dentin formation in the portion of the donor tooth analyzed at the age sampled. 32 Figure 3. Unique peptides, protein N-termini and proteins identified 33 Figure 3. Compares unique peptides, protein N-termini, and proteins identified in odontoblast cell layer and pulpal stroma extracts. The 4-way Venn diagrams show the peptide and protein identifications filtered by PeptideProphet to a FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 % from the 4 search engines; the 2-way Venn diagrams show the unique peptides, protein N-termini, and proteins identified by the preTAILS and TAILS analyses and analyzed by iProphet to a FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 %. The number of proteins shown in the 2- and 4-way Venn diagrams is an estimate extrapolated from the peptide data with an ~ FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 5 % at this initial step in the bioinformatic pipeline we used. 2.3.5 Proteomic evidence of four \u00E2\u0080\u0098missing\u00E2\u0080\u0099 proteins We found proteomic evidence for 4 of the current 3,134 proteins listed as \u00E2\u0080\u009Dmissing proteins\u00E2\u0080\u009D in the neXtProt knowledge base (Fig. 5), the official knowledge base of the Human Proteome Project of the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) (Deutsch et al., 2016). Missing proteins are defined as those without protein existence (PE) at the protein level (PE1), whereas PE2 proteins have only been detected by transcript evidence alone. Figure 5 shows four high confidence, previously unidentified (PE2) or only recently identified (PE1), proteins we found in the dental pulp samples. The high confidence, FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 %, TAILS peptides are shown in red, whereas peptides found by preTAILS shotgun analyses are shown in blue. Biological replicates, i.e. finding the same peptide in different donors, increase the probability that a protein has been identified, as do technical replicates, i.e. finding the peptide multiple times in the same donor (Deutsch et al., 2016). Thus, the effectiveness of an orthogonal technique, such as TAILS, is revealed in increasing proteome coverage and identifying unique peptides and proteins, which were not found in shotgun proteomics approaches (Fig. 5). The four \u00E2\u0080\u009Cfound\u00E2\u0080\u009D missing protein candidates are: uncharacterized protein C14orf105 (Q9NVL8), existence is 34 Figure 4. Comparison of dental pulp proteomic studies 35 Figure 4. (A) Comparison of our present analyses with the 3 previous dental pulp proteomics studies in the literature. The left column (pink/yellow) is the sum of two 2D gel studies (452 proteins). The green and blue bars are protein numbers from our recent (Eckhard et al. 2015) and present study after ProteinProphet analysis, FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 %. In A and B we used ProteinProphet to identify proteins with an FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 % using all 39 odontoblast (10) + pulpal stroma (29) data sets combined, which gave 2,974 unique proteins for dental pulp. In comparison, when the odontoblast cell layer and pulpal stroma data sets were assessed individually (10 vs. 29 data sets) fewer proteins are identified (e.g. panel C) as less peptide evidence is used to generate the statistical model in each of the separate analyses. (B) Overlap in total proteins identified by the 4 studies. The present study identified 955 proteins not previously identified in dental pulp. (C) Venn diagram showing a comparison of the odontoblast cell layer proteome with dental pulp stroma and a proteomic analysis of dentin by J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al. 2012. When the 10 data sets from the odontoblast cell layer (\u00E2\u0089\u00A4 20 years and > 20 years) were combined for ProteinProphet analysis (FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 %) 895 proteins were identified.

Of these dynein heavy chain 6 is noteworthy as this protein is considered to be a force generating protein of respiratory cilia with ATPase activity involving microtubules and so may play transport roles in the long odontoblast process extension in dentinal tubules. 36 Figure 5.

R (in blue), arginine. 2.4 Discussion 2.4.1 Progress in pulpal proteomics Despite the limited amount of odontoblast cell layer sample, we generated high quality spectra sufficient to identify nearly 900 human odontoblast cell layer proteins, the first such analysis of odontoblasts. Moreover, our present proteome analysis of human dental pulp in combination with our previous study (Eckhard et al., 2015) has identified in total 5,097 human dental pulp proteins (FDR <1 %), and represents the largest data set of human pulp stroma proteome to date. Unlike pulp stromal fibroblasts, odontoblasts have a specialized role producing and maintaining the mineralized organic matrix of human dentin, yet, odontoblast cell function is incompletely understood. For example, how odontoblasts participate in pulp sensation or 38 secrete dentinal fluid into dentinal tubules remain open questions. Indeed, the odontoblast process that extends into dentinal tubules has no biologic equivalent (Hargreaves et al., 2012). We found that the odontoblast layer had a distinct proteomic composition in comparison with both the adjacent dentin and pulp stromal tissue. This confirmed functional differences between these two areas of the dental pulp. In addition to fibroblasts, resident immune and stem cells, the pulp stroma also contains cells of other tissues, e.g. blood vessels and nerve axons. Thus, these cells also contribute proteins to the dental pulp proteome in addition to extracellular matrix proteins and proteins secreted or shed from the pulp fibroblasts, as listed in the accompanying appendices and in the uploaded publically accessible proteome data sets in the ProteomeXchange database. 2.4.2 Odontoblasts and tooth development The primary role of the odontoblasts and pulp in childhood is tooth development, i.e. formation, eruption and continued root growth, whereas, in adulthood, the role shifts to dentin maintenance. The donor ages (15-39) here enabled limited observation of differences in the pulp proteome across several developmental stages of the 3rd molar teeth we collected. Developmental timing is variable, but the clinical crown of 3rd molars is usually completed between ages 12-16, erupting between age 17-21, with root development completed by 18-25 years (Nelson, 2015). Therefore, we divided our samples into two groups, \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 20 years and > 20 years. In the first group, with an actual donor age of 15 to 19, active developmental processes of the root apical region were taking place, with continued rapid deposition of secondary dentin in the clinical crown. However, in the root trunk and coronal one third of the root from where we extracted the odontoblast cell layer proteins, the majority of dentin formation was complete. In the second group, donor ages 27, 30 and 39, all tooth development processes were complete. Although our study had a relatively small sample size, proteins found in the age subgroups 39 examined may direct further study as to their possible roles in tooth development (Appendix Table 2). 2.4.3 Mineralization proteins and donor age Dentin sialophosphoprotein, the most abundant noncollagenous protein in dentin extracellular matrix and important in dentin mineralization, was identified only in the younger pulps, indicating active mineralization in these teeth versus older teeth, as expected. However, other mineralized extracellular matrix proteins were not identified in the limited amount of human odontoblast cell layer sampled in the root trunk and upper third of the root, e.g. dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein I, osteonectin, osteocalcin, and osteopontin (Hargreaves et al., 2012). Some proteins are recalcitrant to mass spectrometry due to an unfavorable distribution of acidic residues, which do not favor ionization, or of the basic residues that are cleaved by trypsin in proteomic workflows. Alternatively, the absence of evidence for these proteins may be due to the resting state of the odontoblast cell layer present in the coronal one third of the root canals extracted, which may not have been expressing these proteins after root formation here was completed. Although age-related changes in the proteins of the odontoblast cell layer were evident, further analyses at appropriate donor age and developmental stage may be required to identify other mineralized extracellular matrix proteins in odontoblasts by mass spectrometry. In comparison, the peptide and protein identifications comparing younger and older donors for the pulpal stroma was highly overlapped revealing little to no significant proteome changes with age (data not shown, Abbey et al. 2017, unpublished). 2.4.4 Key findings from my research Appendix Table 1 lists the 211 proteins that were found exclusively in the odontoblast cell layer when compared with the pulp stroma and dentin proteomes. Of these, we identified proteins that 40 have been associated with neural function, e.g. neuroplastin (Q9Y639) (Beesley et al., 2014), DMX-like protein 2 (Q8TDJ6) (Nagano et al., 2002), and advillin (Q8NEN9) (Marks et al., 1998), all of which were found only in the odontoblast sample; this may reflect odontoblast sensory roles or the close association between the odontoblast layer and nerve endings which cross over the cell free zone to terminate in the odontoblast layer (Hargreaves et al., 2012). Exclusive to the odontoblast tissue sample, we also found retinal guanylyl cyclase (Q02846), which has been associated with vision (Duda et al., 1999). This protein as well, as olfactory and taste receptor proteins we identified previously (Eckhard et al., 2015), may play roles in dentin sensation mediated by odontoblasts, neurons or both. Odontoblasts also perform a secretory role, producing a constant distal flow of dentinal fluid that moves from the pulp down the dentinal tubules. Several ion transport and secretion-related proteins were found only in the odontoblast samples, for example: inositol 1,4,5-triphosphaste receptor type 1 (Q14643), which has been shown to regulate epithelial secretion of electrolytes in mice (Park et al., 2013); lactotransferrin (P02788), an iron binding anion-transport protein secreted in tears (Azkargorta et al., 2015) and breast milk (Giansanti et al., 2016); and salivary acidic proline-rich phosphoprotein 1/2 (P02810), a major component of human saliva (Wu et al., 2014)\u00E2\u0080\u0094any one of which may be components of, or involved with the secretion of, dentinal fluid. Discovery studies such as this one inform on the biology of the odontoblast and pulp, and may suggest, for example, possible cellular roles in the timing of the formation of dentin matrix, mediating tooth sensation, and secretion of dentinal fluid. Future studies may also show how the pulp proteome responds and adjusts to different events in the lifecycle of a human tooth and clarify the contribution of individual proteins in pulp function and in pulp to odontoblast cell-cell signalling. Although proteomic analyses of dentin in the past have generated limited protein identifications, present ongoing analysis of human dentin using modern high accuracy mass 41 spectrometers promise to also increase molecular knowledge of the dentin proteome and potentially reveal new dentin-specific proteins, some or all of which are derived from odontoblasts. This will increase knowledge of how the pulpal stroma and odontoblast layer cooperate in the formation and biology of this unique mineralized tissue. 42 Chapter 3: Conclusion 3.1 Overview I successfully extracted protein from the odontoblast cell layer remaining on the walls of the pulp chambers using our crucible technique to enrich for the odontoblast proteome. This is the first time a distinct proteome has been shown to exist for the odontoblast cell layer and the 222 unique dental pulp proteins found to exist only in this layer can guide future research in discrete odontoblast functions. I expanded the dental pulp proteome annotation by identifying four previously missing proteins that had not been detected before at the protein level. These findings are an important contribution to the Human Proteome Project. I also succeeded in expanding annotation of the pulpal stroma tissue by 955 unique proteins using similar techniques to those used in our earlier study (Eckhard et al., 2015). All of these findings expand our knowledge of protein function and human biology, and, more specifically, pave the way to better understanding of dental pulp biology. 3.2 Comparing our preTAILS shotgun + TAILS protocols to 2D gel separation In total, I identified 2974 pulp proteins in the combined samples (preTAILS shotgun + TAILS for the odontoblast + pulp stroma samples). Combined with our 2015 paper, this produces the largest human dental pulp protein annotation to date, of 5097 distinct proteins. These large numbers of proteins, compared with earlier outdated 2D gel proteomics investigations, are due to our TAILS and preTAILS techniques examining the entire tissue protein extract while gel studies analyzed only the limited areas of gels where protein dots appeared. The gel separation technique is valid and effective, as discussed in chapter 1, and proteins were found in dentin through these studies, which I did not identify in the odontoblast cell layer, specifically osteonectin, osteocalcin, and dentin matrix protein I (J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., 2012). However, gel studies 43 have more limitations than advantages since proteins that are few in number will be lost by this technique. Our techniques rely completely on the liquid chromatography separation and MS identification of peptides. With 2D gel separation, one has the additional confirmation of a given protein due to molecular weight and charge migration behavior as well as LC-MS/MS identification. However, this is not always the case, since many proteins appear in gels in fragments due to enzyme mediated or incidental cleavage (J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., 2012). 3.3 Proteomics data analysis Previous studies on pulp proteomics have primarily used threshold values built into the Mascot search engine to differentiate true peptides and proteins among the m/z ratios of MS spectra. We used several search engines: Mascot v2.4, X! TANDEM CYCLONE TPP 2011.12.01.1, MS-GF+ V10072, and Comet 2015.01 rev 0. All these search engines use different valid algorithms to match spectra to peptides, so more peptides will be identified if the spectra are reviewed by more search engines. Figure 3A, D shows how peptides were identified by search engines, showing that different search engines produce different results. A given spectra might be slightly under the threshold for positive identification for one search engine but above it with another. Thus, peptides and proteins identified by more than one search engine are identified with greater certainty; TPP calculates this by combining all search engine data with iProphet. Our LC-MS/MS data was put through stringent analysis by TPP to conform to HUPO standards of peptide and protein identification, which are being improved and standardized with time and were recently reviewed in the Journal of Proteome Research (Deutsch et al., 2016). One problem in comparing different proteomic studies is that different sets of data are interpreted in different ways, so that results are not directly comparable; hence, the standards initiative of the HPP and the protein identification guidelines are updated annually. Note that I strictly adhered to current HPP guidelines in this thesis work, using multiple search engines, processing their 44 results with PeptideProphet, combining these results with iProphet, and finally processing the iProphet data with ProteinProphet. This data processing workflow compiles all the spectra and their confidence levels to calculate net FDR for peptides and proteins. For example, for a given protein we might have two high quality spectra indicating peptides with an FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 %, three others with a less perfect match having an FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 5 % and five more with an FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 15 %. For the best estimate of whether or not the protein is present the TPP considers all of these peptides in calculating a net FDR for the protein. In the study by Eckhardt et al. 2014, peptides were considered valid if they exceeded a Mascot threshold score of 20 (Mascot was the single search engine they used); this works reasonably well for peptides, but then proteins were confirmed if they exceeded a protein score of 60. This would also work fairly well in the 2D gel study since only a small number of proteins were present in the sample. The Mascot program however, is designed to make peptide spectra matches, not statistically match large numbers of peptides to large numbers of proteins. Our protocols removed false positives and more accurately determined proteins with an FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 %. Using more search engines, I was able to identify more peptides, and by using a stringent software analysis I removed many questionable spectra and their matched peptides, to retain only peptides and proteins for which there was a high confidence level of being present, below FDR \u00E2\u0089\u00A4 1 %. 3.4 Pulp sample mass Also of note is my sample size. Eckhardt et al. used 5 wisdom teeth, from which only the canal pulp was removed; thus, their samples did not contain pulp chamber pulp as in our research where we combined all sections of pulp tissue. They quoted the weight of only one pulp as being approximately 2.5 mg in weight. Our study examined the pulps of 26 teeth from 9 donors with a combined pulp weight of 1024 mg. Using greater sample size and doing more LC-MS/MS analyses (39 in total) was part of the reason I identified more peptides and annotated more 45 proteins. Also, my technique to remove the pulp tissue immediately after extraction and place the tissue in GuHCl buffer on dry ice proved effective at maintaining tissue protein integrity until samples were denatured and analyzed under experimental conditions. My high yield of proteins annotated shows cellular self-destructive processes of apoptosis were slowed or prevented. Finally, what is probably the main advantage of my approach is that the previous work by Eckhardt et al. used outdated 2D gel separation technology followed by individual tandem MS analyses for individual proteins (cut from their gels), while we used multiple LC-MS/MS analyses for individual donors with at least two from each donor (one preTAILS shotgun, one TAILS). Each of my LC-MS/MS analyses revealed 100s to 1000s of peptides, whereas in studies by Eckhardt et al., J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al., their trypsinized dissolved gel segments would reveal only one or a few proteins that migrated together on the 2D gel separation. Thus, I used orthogonal techniques that provided high mass accuracy identification and I performed more experiments, allowing me to annotate a much higher number of proteins than were found in the previous 2D gel proteomics studies. 3.5 Practical applications of proteomic research Proteomics is a relatively new dimension of biological research and scientists are eager to reach forward to potential practical applications of our expanding knowledge of specific proteins found in tissues. Such applications may still be some way in the future, however, due to: 1) the complexity of protein function; 2) the large numbers of proteins found in tissues; and 3) the degree of poorly understood proteolytic processing that has been shown to occur (Appendix Fig 7). Small changes in protein numbers or proportions probably result in significant biologic changes, but it is difficult to quantify and assess the relative importance of these. For example, earlier I discussed that Mrojik et al. 2015 found 5 proteins that were upregulated in dental stem cells compared with the two other stem cell populations; Eckhardt et al. identified two of these 46 up-regulated proteins in their own research; I found these same two proteins, plus two of the other three identified by Mrojik et al., (Tryptophan-tRNA synthetase, and G6PD) but I did not find Ribonucleosidase diphosphonate reductase M1 chain (RIR1_Bovin), listed in UniProt (http://www.uniprot.org) as a bovine herpes virus protein. Eckhardt et al. supports Mrojik et al.\u00E2\u0080\u0099s hypothesis that these proteins, up-regulated compared with two other in vitro stem cell cultures, are thus important for dentin regeneration. But G6PD is a basic enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, active in all cells. There is no rationale that adding more G6PD to a devitalized root canal system will encourage pulpal regeneration. Several pulp proteomics papers feature tables showing which categories of proteins were identified in their studies, e.g. immune function, structural constituent of cytoskeleton, catalytic activity (Eckhard et al., 2015; Eckhardt et al., 2014). This is useful from the perspective of reviewing categories of protein action, but it requires pigeonholing proteins into performing specific, discrete tasks, which is rarely the case. A protein such as collagen type I has a discrete function, it is a structural protein found throughout extracellular matrix tissue and is usually found tightly wound in a triple helical conformation, made possible by its glycine rich composition. However even type I collagen can also be found as gelatin when not in this triple helical form, and its function changes. Reviewing the UniProt and NeXtProt websites for information on the function of specific proteins often shows that a given protein has been identified by different studies involved in many different processes. J\u00C3\u00A1gr et al\u00E2\u0080\u0099s discussion of caries resistance due to proteins is interesting and I propose these could be secreted in dentinal fluid. To test such a hypothesis, first we would need a method to collect dentinal fluid from caries prone and caries susceptible individuals. The proteomes of these fluids could be compared and significant differences might be observed. 47 3.6 Large numbers of proteins to assess The other problem we encounter as techniques improve is that we find more proteins and the body of data gets bigger. For example Eckhardt et al. identified 37 proteins in pulp and dentin that were not also found in a plasma proteome used for comparison. They discuss in some detail these 37 proteins and suggested they may be good candidates for future endodontic regenerative therapies (Eckhardt et al., 2014). Is this a reasonable possibility? In our study, we found 2,426 proteins in pulp tissue and 895 in the odontoblast cell layer. These proteins are summarized in the supplemental tables and online at ProteomeXchange with the PXD identifier \u00CB\u0082PXD006557\u00CB\u0083. I do not propose we found thousands of proteins that should be investigated as potential protein co-factors that will improve endodontic regenerative treatments. Due to space limitations we cannot even discuss the possible functions of all identified proteins. And my numbers are probably still far from the actual number expressed in vivo in tissues, thought to number in excess of 10,000. We were however successful in expanding the pulp proteome by nearly a 1000 proteins not found in our earlier study, and, more importantly, we were able to separate the odontoblast cell layer from the pulp stroma and characterize different proteomes in the two tissue samples (Eckhard et al., 2015). This produces important and novel information regarding the proteins expressed by odontoblasts, which are responsible for dentin production and mineralization, proteins that would either not be expressed or be expressed in smaller numbers by the fibroblast rich pulpal stroma. By annotating the proteins found in different tissues, we enlarge our understanding of these tissues and their biologic function. 3.7 Dentin and bone are related tissues My research can guide future investigations into odontoblast function and the mechanics of dentin production, which may segue into the broader field of bone metabolism, since dentin and bone are closely related. One can consider the dentin-pulp complex as a closely related model 48 for osteoblast-bone metabolism. The odontoblast unicellular layer is well defined on the pulpal periphery against the pre-dentin border and as we showed, it is possible to analyze this layer. Osteoblasts on the other hand, are distributed throughout bone and separating the proteins produced only by osteoblasts would be more challenging. 3.8 Our samples are enriched, not pure for tissue types A caveat for my data interpretation is that the pulp stroma sample includes a minor degree of contaminant odontoblasts that detached with the pulp and their cellular proteins will contribute to the pulp stroma data sets. Similarly, when I extracted protein from the odontoblast cell layer remaining on the dentin walls, potentially some protein from the nonmineralized dentin was also extracted. However, this is not considered a major issue as the predentin was originally derived from the odontoblast cell layer. Thus, odontoblast protein contaminants are probably present in the pulpal stroma sample, just as some pulpal stroma proteins are present in the odontoblast sample. Our research could be complemented by odontoblast cell culture studies to see how these proteomes differ from actual tissue extracts, and use these as controls to see how odontoblast protein synthesis could be influenced by different stimulants, e.g. TGF-\u00CE\u00B2, BMP-1. However, recovering odontoblasts from the dentin is technically impossible due to the long odontoblast process embedded in the dentin. In any case, cells in culture behave differently to cells in situ and so proteomic analyses of detached cells will also differ. 3.9 Future directions: cell culture studies and western blot analysis Odontoblast cell culture studies would also be useful to confirm the presence of certain proteins in this cell line, e.g. that they do not in fact originate from a nearby cell type. We identified several proteins that have been associated with neural function and sensation: neuroplastin (Q9Y639), DMX-like protein 2 (Q8TDJ6), advillin (Q8NEN9), and retinal guanylyl cyclase 49 (Q02846), all present only in the odontoblast cell layer sample. These may be involved in the process of odontoblast mediated dental sensation, or the proteins may originate from nerve axons also present in the odontoblast enriched tissue sample. Raising antibodies to these proteins and performing western blot analyses of odontoblast cell cultures or immunohistochemistry could be used confirm if these proteins are indeed synthesized by odontoblasts, potentially leading to improved understanding of how odontoblasts and nerve tissue interact to produce dental sensation. 3.10 Final comments With an estimated 10,000 or more proteins in each cell of the body, much work remains to be done before we can understand fully when proteins are individually expressed, up- or down-regulated, how and why they are modified, and how they interact with one another to create biologic function and life. This research has taken a step forward and answered several questions: e.g. that the odontoblast cell layer has a proteome distinct from that of the pulp stroma, proteomic confirmation that dentin sialophosphoprotein is synthesized in the odontoblast layer; but has also highlighted other questions, e.g are the sensation related proteins we found in the odontoblast cell layer sample active in the odontoblast or do they derive from adjacent nerve fibers? And regardless of their location do they in fact function to produce sensation or do they perform other tasks? By mapping out the protein geography of the human body we may someday be able to travel far beyond the confines of the limited scientific understanding of protein function where we are now. Soon the world of proteomics will open our eyes to new understanding of how these fascinating molecules are created, modified and adapted to form and shape life. 50 Bibliography Alberts, B., Johnson, A., Lewis, J., Raff, M., Roberts, K., and Walter, P.
