Peptidomics and proteomics data of oxidised peptides from in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of chicken breast exposed to chlorpyrifos
Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is an organophosphorus pesticide used in poultry to prevent and/or kill insects and such as preserving agents of poultry feed. Exposure continues to CPF can promote its accumulation at trace concentrations in animal tissue. The toxicological effects of these residues (carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and neurological disorders) have been related to oxidative stress. Nevertheless, it is still unknown if these trace concentrations might promote oxidative stress in muscle proteins since chicken meat proteins are susceptible to undergo oxidation reactions. Moreover, protein oxidation has been related to a decrease in the nutritional value in of meat.To investigate the oxidative effect of CPF on chicken breast proteins, peptidomics and proteomics analysis were used. For this, chicken breast samples were exposed to CPF and subjected to simulated gastrointestinal digestion. The identification of oxidized peptides from digested and undigested proteins were performed by LC MS/MS (nanoESI qQTOF). Prior to mass analyses undigested proteins were trypsinated. Data were analysed using MASCOT and ProteinPilot v 4.5 software. In this study, 90 and 107 oxidized peptides from digested proteins of control and exposed samples were identified, respectively. These peptides corresponding to 12 oxidized proteins. Meanwhile, 260 and 324 oxidized peptides from undigested proteins (control and exposed samples) were identified, which corresponding to 19 and 17 proteins, respectively. Collagen was protein more susceptible to oxidation promoted by chlorpyrifos in digested and undigested proteins. Identification of these oxidized proteins from simulated digestion provides an important insight about the impact of substances like certain veterinary drugs at trace concentrations on the nutritional value of chicken breast meat.
