To address the issue of gender importance in development of diabetes, in the present study, we performed two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE)-based proteomic study in Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats by investigating gender-dimorphic differential regulation patterns of liver proteins. Animal experiments revealed that females have greater susceptibility towards developing diabetes due to lower insulin secretion, greater severity of liver damage, more impaired regulation of sex hormones as well as lower glucose tolerance and higher blood glucose levels as compared to male diabetic rats when exposed to STZ. Proteomic analysis detected about 730 hepatic protein spots, ranging from 6 to 240 kDa mass between pH 3 ∼ 10, of which 45 identified proteins showed gender-dimorphic regulation. Most interesting is that our gender-specific proteome comparison showed that male and female rats displayed different regulations of hepatic proteins involved in lipid metabolism, methionine and citric acid cycles, as well as antioxidative and stress defense system. We for the first time identified chaperonin 10 and D-dopachrome tautomerase showing gender-dependent differential regulation between healthy control and diabetic rats, which have not been reported to date with respect to diabetes pathophysiology. In conclusion, current proteomic study revealed that more severely impaired hepatic protein regulation in female diabetic rats was influential on greater susceptibility of females to STZ-induced diabetes. We expect that the present proteomic data can provide valuable information for evidence-based gender-specific treatment of diabetes.
