Abstract
BACKGROUND: The present study was performed to explore the presence of informative protein biomarkers of human serum proteome in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Serum samples were profiled using iTRAQ coupled with two-dimensional liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (2D-LC-MS/MS) technique, and ELISA was used to validate candidate biomarkers.
RESULTS: A total of 394 proteins were identified and 97 proteins were associated with IPF. Four biomarker candidates generated from iTRAQ experiments – CRP, fibrinogen-α chain, haptoglobin, and kininogen-1 – were successfully verified using ELISA.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study demonstrates that levels of CRP and fibrinogen-a are higher and levels of haptoglobin and kininogen-1 are lower in patients with IPF compared to levels in healthy controls. We found they are useful candidate biomarkers for IPF.
