Identification of novel biomarkers for sepsis prognosis via urinary proteomic analysis using iTRAQ labeling and 2D-LC-MS/MS.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Sepsis is the major cause of death for critically ill patients. Recent progress in proteomics permits a thorough characterization of the mechanisms associated with critical illness. The purpose of this study was to screen potential biomarkers for early prognostic assessment of patients with sepsis.

Methods

For the discovery stage, 30 sepsis patients with different prognoses were selected. Urinary proteins were identified using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) coupled with LC-MS/MS. Mass spec instrument analysis were performed with Mascot software and the International Protein Index (IPI); bioinformatic analyses were used by the algorithm of set and the Gene Ontology (GO) Database. For the verification stage, the study involved another 54 sepsis-hospitalized patients, with equal numbers of patients in survivor and non-survivor groups based on 28-day survival. Differentially expressed proteins were verified by Western Blot.

Results

A total of 232 unique proteins were identified. Proteins that were differentially expressed were further analyzed based on the pathophysiology of sepsis and biomathematics. For sepsis prognosis, five proteins were significantly up-regulated: selenium binding protein-1, heparan sulfate proteoglycan-2, alpha-1-B glycoprotein, haptoglobin, and lipocalin; two proteins were significantly down-regulated: lysosome-associated membrane proteins-1 and dipeptidyl peptidase-4. Based on gene ontology clustering, these proteins were associated with the biological processes of lipid homeostasis, cartilage development, iron ion transport, and certain metabolic processes. Urinary LAMP-1 was down-regulated, consistent with the Western Blot validation.

Conclusion

This study provides the proteomic analysis of urine to identify prognostic biomarkers of sepsis. The seven identified proteins provide insight into the mechanism of sepsis. Low urinary LAMP-1 levels may be useful for early prognostic assessment of sepsis.

Project description:BackgroundThe human brain is the most complex organ in the body, and it is important to have a better understanding of how the protein composition in the brain regions contributes to the pathogenesis of associated neurological disorders.MethodsIn this study, a comparative analysis of the frontal and temporal cortex proteomes was conducted by isobaric tags of relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) labeling and two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (2D LC-MS/MS). Brain protein was taken from relatively normal tissue that could not be avoided of damage during emergent surgery of the TBI (traumatic brain injury) patients admitted in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from 2014 to 2017. Eight cases were included. Four frontal lobes and 4 temporal lobes proteome were analyzed and the proteins were quantitated. Gene Ontology (GO), Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were used to analyze the biological function of identified proteins, unchanged proteins, and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs).ResultsA total number of 2127 protein groups were identified in the frontal and temporal lobe proteomes. A total of 1709 proteins could be quantitated in both the frontal and temporal cortex. Among 90 DEPs, 14 proteins were screened highly expressed in the temporal cortex, including MAPT, SNCG, ATP5IF1, GAP43, HSPE1, STMN1, NDUFS6, LDHB, SNCB, NDUFA7, MRPS36, EPDR1, CISD1, and RALA. In addition, compared to proteins expressed in the frontal cortex, 14 proteins including EDC4, NIT2, VWF, ASTN1, TGM2, SSB, CLU, HBA1, STOM, CRP, LRG1, SAA2, S100A4, and VTN were a low expression in the temporal cortex. The biological process enrichment showed that unchanged proteins between the frontal and temporal cortex mainly take part in regulated exocytosis, axon guidance, and vesicle-mediated transport. The KEGG pathway analysis showed that unchanged proteins between the frontal and temporal cortex mainly take part in oxidative phosphorylation, carbon metabolism, Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease.ConclusionsThe majority of proteins are unchanged between the frontal and temporal cortex, and unchanged proteins are closely related to its function. Among DEPs, MATP (tau) is upregulated in the temporal cortex, closely related to Alzheimer's disease (AD), and is one of the targets for the treatment of AD. CLU is downregulated in the temporal cortex which functions as an extracellular chaperone that prevents aggregation of non-native proteins. It was suggested that the temporal lobe may not be the "functional dumb area" of the traditional view, but could be involved in important neural metabolic circuits.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of chronic kidney failure and end-stage kidney disease. More accurate and non-invasive test for the diagnosis and monitoring the progression of DN is urgently needed for the better care of such patients.MethodsIn this study we utilized urinary glycoproteome to discover the differential proteins during the course of type 2 DN. The urinary glycoproteins from normal controls, normalbuminuira, microalbuminura, and macroalbuminuria patients were enriched by concanavalin A (ConA) and analyzed by 2DLC/MS/MS and isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation quantification.ResultsA total of 478 proteins were identified and 408 were annotated as N-linked glycoproteins. A total of 72, 107 and 123 differential proteins were identified in normalbuminuria, microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria, respectively. By bioinformatics analysis, in normalbuminruia state, cell proliferation and cell movement were activated, which might reflect the compensatory phase during the disease development. In micro- and macro-albuminuria, cell death and apoptosis was activated, which might reflect the de-compensatory phase. Pathway analysis showed acute phase proteins, the member of high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein proteins were changed, indicating the role of the inflammatory response and lipid metabolism abnormality in the pathogenesis of DN. Six selected differential proteins were validated by Western Blot. Alpha-1-antitrypsin (SERPINA1) and Ceruloplasmin are the two markers with excellent area under curve values (0.929 and 1.000 respectively) to distinguish the microalbuminuria and normalbuminuria. For the first time, we found pro-epidermal growth factor and prolactin-inducible protein were decreased in macroalbuminuria stage, which might reflect the inhibition of cell viability and the activation of cell death in kidney.ConclusionsAbove data indicated that urinary glycoproteome could be useful to distinguish the differences in protein profiles in different stages in DN, which will help better individualized care of patients in DN.
