4.3. Two-Dimensional Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis Results<br />

After determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of Bortezomib on MM<br />

U-266 cells, total prote<strong>in</strong> isolation was performed from Bortezomib and control group<br />

separately. After that isolated prote<strong>in</strong>s were analyzed by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-<br />

Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Two-Dimensional Gel<br />

Electrophoresis, respectively to identify <strong>changes</strong> <strong>in</strong> prote<strong>in</strong> <strong>profiles</strong>. Prote<strong>in</strong> isolation<br />

and 2D PAGE experiments were repeated four times. Firstly, gels obta<strong>in</strong>ed from<br />

Bortezomib and control group were sta<strong>in</strong>ed with CBB G-250, but the results were not<br />

satisfactory. Then CBB R-250 and R-350 was tried with another gels and with different<br />

sta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g procedures. F<strong>in</strong>ally, a mass spectrometry compatible silver sta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g procedure<br />

was <strong>applied</strong> as expla<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> previous chapter to <strong>in</strong>crease the sensitivity, because there<br />

was not enough prote<strong>in</strong> that was visualized on the gels after Coomassie Brillant Blue<br />

Sta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g. The gel maps belong<strong>in</strong>g to two different groups (Bortezomib (treated) and<br />

control (untreated)) <strong>in</strong>dicated a broad distribution of spots <strong>in</strong> a pI range from 3.0 to 10.0<br />
