Identification of lipid biomarker from serum in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death in the United States with no effective treatment. The current diagnostic method, spirometry, does not accurately reflect the severity of COPD disease status. Therefore, there is a pressing unmet medical need to develop noninvasive methods and reliable biomarkers to detect early stages of COPD. Lipids are the fundamental components of cell membranes, and dysregulation of lipids was proven to be associated with COPD. Lipidomics is a comprehensive approach to all the pathways and networks of cellular lipids in biological systems. It is widely used for disease diagnosis, biomarker identification, and pathology disorders detection relating to lipid metabolism. METHODS:In the current study, a total of 25 serum samples were collected from 5 normal control subjects and 20 patients with different stages of COPD according to the global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (GOLD) (GOLD stages I?~?IV, 5 patients per group). After metabolite extraction, lipidomic analysis was performed using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) to detect the serum lipid species. Later, the comparisons of individual lipids were performed between controls and patients with COPD. Orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were utilized to test the potential biomarkers. Finally, correlations between the validated lipidomic biomarkers and disease stages, age, FEV1% pack years and BMI were evaluated. RESULTS:Our results indicate that a panel of 50 lipid metabolites including phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycerolipids, and cholesterol esters can be used to differentiate the presence of COPD. Among them, 10 individual lipid species showed significance (p?

Project description:PurposeChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. This study used proteomic profiling of serum to identify the differentially expressed proteins in COPD patients compared with healthy controls, to expand the knowledge of COPD pathogenesis and to ascertain potential new targets for diagnosis and treatment of COPD.MethodsSerum samples were collected from 56 participants (COPD group n = 28; Healthy Control group n = 28). A data-independent acquisition quantitative proteomics approach was used to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between the two groups. Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway functional enrichment, and protein-protein interaction analyses of DEPs were conducted to identify their relevant biological processes, cellular components, and related pathways. We used a parallel reaction monitoring (PRM)-based targeted quantitative proteomics approach to validate those findings.ResultsOf 8484 peptides identified by searching the UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot knowledgebase, 867 proteins were quantifiable, of which 20 were upregulated and 35 were downregulated in the COPD group. GO functional annotation indicated that the subcellular localization of most DEPs was extracellular. The top three molecular functions of the DEPs were signaling receptor binding, antigen binding, and immunoglobulin receptor binding. The most relevant biological process was immune response. The transforming growth factor-β signaling pathway, Staphylococcus aureus infection, and hematopoietic cell lineage were the top three pathways identified in the KEGG pathway functional enrichment. Our PRM analyses confirmed the identification of 11 DEPs identified in our data-independent acquisition analyses, 8 DEPs were upregulated and 3 DEPs were downregulated.ConclusionThis study using data-independent acquisition analyses with PRM confirmation of findings identified 11 DEPs in the serum of patients with COPD. These DEPs are potential diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers or may be future targets for the treatment of COPD.
