Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is responsible for maintaining homeostasis within the central nervous system (CNS). Depending on its permeability, certain substances can penetrate the brain, while others are restricted in their passage. Therefore, the knowledge about BBB structure and function is essential for understanding physiological and pathological brain processes. Consequently, the functional models can serve as a key to help reveal this unknown. There are many in vitro models available to study molecular mechanisms that occur in the barrier. Brain endothelial cells grown in culture are commonly used to modeling the BBB. Current BBB platforms include: monolayer platforms, transwell, matrigel, spheroidal, and tissue-on-chip models. In this paper, the BBB structure, molecular characteristic, as well as its dysfunctions as a consequence of aging, neurodegeneration, or under hypoxia and neurotoxic conditions are presented. Furthermore, the current modelling strategies that can be used to study BBB for the purpose of further drugs development that may reach CNS are also described.

Eltaib L, Alzain AA. Discovery of dual-target natural inhibitors of meprins α and β metalloproteases for inflammation regulation: pharmacophore modelling, molecular docking, ADME prediction, and molecular dynamics studies. SAR AND QSAR IN ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023:1-23. [PMID: 37955603 DOI: 10.1080/1062936x.2023.2277425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
Meprins, zinc-dependent metalloproteinases belonging to the metzincin family, have been associated with various inflammatory diseases due to their abnormal expression and activity. In this study, we utilized pharmacophore modelling to identify crucial features for discovering potential dual inhibitors targeting meprins α and β. We screened four pharmacophoric features against a library of 270,540 natural compounds from the Zinc database, resulting in 84,092 matching compounds. Molecular docking was then performed on these compounds, targeting the active sites of meprins α and β. Docking results revealed six compounds capable of interacting with both isoforms, with binding affinities ranging from -10.0 to -10.5 kcal/mol and -6.9 to -9.9 kcal/mol for meprin α and β, respectively. Among these compounds, ZINC000008790788 and ZINC000095099469 displayed superior docking scores and MM-GBSA binding free energy compared to reference ligands. Furthermore, these two compounds exhibited acceptable predicted pharmacokinetic properties and stable interactions with meprins α and β during molecular dynamics simulations. This study presents a comprehensive approach for identifying potential dual inhibitors of meprin α and β, offering insights into the development of therapeutic interventions for inflammatory diseases associated with meprin dysregulation.

Abstract
Herpesviruses have complex mechanisms enabling infection of the human CNS and evasion of the immune system, allowing for indefinite latency in the host. Herpesvirus infections can cause severe complications of the central nervous system (CNS). Here, we provide a novel characterization of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomes from patients with meningitis or encephalitis caused by human herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), which is the most prevalent human herpesvirus associated with the most severe morbidity. The CSF proteome was compared with those from patients with meningitis or encephalitis due to human herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) or varicella-zoster virus (VZV, also known as human herpesvirus 3) infections. Virus-specific differences in CSF proteomes, most notably elevated 14-3-3 family proteins and calprotectin (i.e., S100-A8 and S100-A9), were observed in HSV-1 compared to HSV-2 and VZV samples, while metabolic pathways related to cellular and small molecule metabolism were downregulated in HSV-1 infection. Our analyses show the feasibility of developing CNS proteomic signatures of the host response in alpha herpes infections, which is paramount for targeted studies investigating the pathophysiology driving virus-associated neurological disorders, developing biomarkers of morbidity, and generating personalized therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Background Many studies have shown an association between aging and oxidation. To our knowledge, there have been no studies exploring aging-related urine proteome modifications. The purpose of this study was to explore differences in global chemical modifications of urinary protein at different ages. Methods Discovery (n=38) cohort MS data including children, young and old groups were downloaded from three published studies, and this data was analyzed using open-pFind for identifying modifications. Verification cohort human samples (n=28) including young, middle-aged, and old groups, rat samples (n=7) at three-time points after birth, adulthood, and old age were collected and processed in the laboratory simultaneously based on label-free quantification combined with pFind. Results Discovery cohort: there were 28 kinds of differential oxidations in the old group that were higher than those in the young or children group in. Verification cohort: there were 17 kinds of differential oxidations of 49 oxidized proteins in the middle and old groups, which were significantly higher than those in the young group. Both oxidations and oxidized proteins distinguished different age groups well. There were also 15 kinds of differential oxidations in old age higher than others in the rat cohort. The results showed that the validation experiment was basically consistent with the results of the discovery experiment, showing that the level of oxidized proteins in urine increased significantly with age. Conclusions Our study is the first to show that oxidative proteins occur in urine and that oxidations are higher in older than younger ages. Perhaps improving the degree of excretion of oxidative protein in vivo through the kidney is helpful for maintaining the homeostasis of the body’s internal environment, delaying aging and the occurrence of senile diseases.

Abstract
Systemic inflammatory disorders (SIDs) comprise a broad range of diseases characterized by dysregulated excessive innate immune responses. Severe forms of SIDs can lead to organ failure and death, and their increasing incidence represents a major issue for the healthcare system. Protease-mediated ectodomain shedding of cytokines and their receptors represents a central mechanism in the regulation of inflammatory responses. The metalloprotease A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) 17 is the best-characterized ectodomain sheddase capable of releasing TNF-α and soluble IL-6 receptor, which are decisive factors of systemic inflammation. Recently, meprin metalloproteases were also identified as IL-6 receptor sheddases and activators of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. In different mouse models of SID, particularly those mimicking a sepsis-like phenotype, ADAM17 and meprins have been found to promote disease progression. In this review, we summarize the role of ADAM10, ADAM17, and meprins in the onset and progression of sepsis and discuss their potential as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery lesions including aneurysm, as the most severe complications of Kawasaki disease (KD), remain of great concern. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is implicated in the regulation of inflammatory response and lipid metabolism. Since excessive inflammatory response and aberrant lipid metabolism have involved in the development of KD, we in this study sought to investigate the relationship between coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) and Lp-PLA2 and other blood parameters in children with KD. METHODS The participants included 71 KD patients, 63 healthy controls (HCs) and 51 febrile controls (FCs). KD patients were divided into KD-CAA (KD with CAA) group and KD-NCAA (KD without CAA) group. Serum Lp-PLA2 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Other routine clinical parameters were also detected. RESULTS Serum Lp-PLA2 levels in KD group [4.83 μg/mL (3.95-6.77)] were significantly higher than those in HC [1.29 μg/mL (0.95-2.05)] and FC [1.74 μg/mL (1.18-2.74)] groups. KD-CAA group [5.56 μg/mL (4.55-22.01)] presented substantially higher serum Lp-PLA2 levels as compared with KD-NCAA group [4.64 μg/mL (2.60-5.55)]. In KD group, serum Lp-PLA2 level was positively related with erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the levels of leukocytes, platelets, albumin, creatine kinase-MB, and D-dimer, and the Z-scores of left main CA, right CA, left anterior descending CA, and left circumflex CA; and negatively related with mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and mean platelet volume. Moreover, receiver operating characteristic curves showed that Lp-PLA2 exhibited superior and moderate diagnostic performance for distinguishing KD patients from HC and FC ones, respectively, and possessed the potential ability to predict the occurrence of CAAs in KD. CONCLUSION Lp-PLA2 may be related to KD and the formation of CAAs, and thus may serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker for KD.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) causes cardiovascular system injury in children. However, the pathogenic mechanisms of KD have not been well defined. Recently, strong correlation between aberrant microRNAs and KD nosogenesis has been revealed. A role of microRNA-197-3p (miR-197-3p) in the pathogenesis of KD is identified in the present study. Cell proliferation assay showed human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) were suppressed by serum from KD patients, which was correlated with high levels of miR-197-3p in both KD serum and HCAECs cultured with KD serum. The inhibition of HCAECs by miR-197-3p was confirmed by cells expressing miR-197-3p mimic and miR-197-3p inhibitor. Comparative proteomics analysis and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) revealed TIMP3 as a potential target of miR-197-3p, which was demonstrated by western blot and dual-luciferase reporter assays. Subsequently, by detecting the endothelium damage markers THBS1, VWF, and HSPG2, the role of miR-197-3p/TIMP3 in KD-induced damage to HCAECs was confirmed, which was further validated by a KD mouse model in vivo. The expressions of miR-197-3p and its target, TIMP3, are dramatically variational in KD serum and HCAECs cultured with KD serum. Increased miR-197-3p induces HCAECs abnormal by restraining TIMP3 expression directly. Hence, dysregulation of miR-197-3p/TIMP3 expression in HCAECs may be an important mechanism in cardiovascular endothelium injury in KD patients, which offers a feasible therapeutic target for KD treatment.

Abstract
Alpha-fetoprotein producing gastric carcinoma (AFPGC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of gastric cancer. However, little is known about the genomic features of this disease. We perform whole-exome sequencing analysis of AFPGC, and identify 34 significantly mutated genes. Somatic copy number alterations analysis reveals several significant focal amplifications (e.g. 19q12, 17q12) and focal deletions (e.g. 1p36.11, 9p21.3), and some of these negatively affect the patient prognosis. Comparative analyses reveal that AFPGC has distinct genomic features from gastric cancer of The Cancer Genome Atlas as well as four molecular subtypes. Several frequently altered genes with potential as therapeutic targets are identified in AFPGC. Further analysis reveals that AFPGC with amplification of CCNE1 at 19q12 and/or ERBB2 at 17q12 show poorer survival and more aggressive. Subsequently, based on our established patient-derived xenograft models for AFPGC, translational research is performed and the therapeutic value of targeting CCNE1 and ERBB2 is validated. In this work, we provide an understanding of genomic characteristics of AFPGC and propose a platform to explore and validate the genome-guided personalized treatment for this disease.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by early-onset social-communication challenges, restricted and repetitive behaviors, or unusual sensory-motor behaviors. A lack of specific biomarkers hinders the early diagnosis and treatment of this disease in many children. This study analyzes and validates potential urinary biomarkers using mass spectrometry proteomics. Global proteomics profiles of urine from 19 ASD patients and 19 healthy control subjects were compared to identify significantly changed proteins. These proteins were validated with targeted proteomics using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) in an independent validation set consisting of samples from 40 ASD patients and 38 healthy controls. A total of 34 significantly changed proteins were found in the discovery set, among which seven proteins were identified as potential biomarkers for ASD through PRM assays in the validation set. Of these seven proteins, immunoglobulin kappa variable 4-1, immunoglobulin kappa variable 3-20, and immunoglobulin lambda variable 1-51 were up-regulated, while ATP synthase F1 subunit alpha, 10 kDa heat shock protein, apolipoprotein C-III, and arylsulfatase F were down-regulated. Six of these seven proteins support previous findings that ASD is accompanied by altered immune response and lipid metabolism, as well as mitochondrial dysfunction. This study lays the groundwork for additional research using biomarkers to clinically diagnose ASD. The proteomics and PRM raw data of this study have been deposited under the accession number IPX0002592000 at iProX. SIGNIFICANCE: This study identified 34 proteins in urine of ASD patients that were significantly changed from the urinary proteins of healthy subjects using LC-MS/MS-based proteomics in a discovery set. Seven of these proteins were validated by PRM analysis in an independent validation set. This report represents the first description of combined label-free quantitative proteomics and PRM analysis of targeted proteins for discovery of ASD urinary biomarkers. The results will be helpful for early diagnosis and can provide additional insight into the molecular mechanisms of ASD.

The atypical pneumonia (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 is a serious threat to global public health. However, early detection and effective prediction of patients with mild to severe symptoms remain challenging. The proteomic profiling of urine samples from healthy individuals, mild and severe COVID-19 positive patients with comorbidities can be clearly differentiated. Multiple pathways have been compromised after the COVID-19 infection, including the dysregulation of complement activation, platelet degranulation, lipoprotein metabolic process and response to hypoxia. This study demonstrates the COVID-19 pathophysiology related molecular alterations could be detected in the urine and the potential application in auxiliary diagnosis of COVID-19.

Abstract
The prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) is increasing but the development of novel treatment strategies and therapeutics altering the course of the disease would benefit from specific, sensitive, and non‐invasive biomarkers to detect PD early. Here, we describe a scalable and sensitive mass spectrometry (MS)‐based proteomic workflow for urinary proteome profiling. Our workflow enabled the reproducible quantification of more than 2,000 proteins in more than 200 urine samples using minimal volumes from two independent patient cohorts. The urinary proteome was significantly different between PD patients and healthy controls, as well as between LRRK2 G2019S carriers and non‐carriers in both cohorts. Interestingly, our data revealed lysosomal dysregulation in individuals with the LRRK2 G2019S mutation. When combined with machine learning, the urinary proteome data alone were sufficient to classify mutation status and disease manifestation in mutation carriers remarkably well, identifying VGF, ENPEP, and other PD‐associated proteins as the most discriminating features. Taken together, our results validate urinary proteomics as a valuable strategy for biomarker discovery and patient stratification in PD.

Abstract
There is nothing quite like the excitement of discovery in science-of finding something no one else knew and seeing a story unfold. One has to be part of an emerging picture to feel the elation. These moments in a lifetime are few and far between, but they fuel enthusiasm and keep one going. They are embedded in struggles and joys of everyday life, years of establishing what Louis Pasteur called "the prepared mind," working with mentors, trainees, and colleagues, failures and successes. This article recalls 1) how I got to be a biochemist; 2) my contributions as an educator and researcher, especially regarding meprin metalloproteases; and 3) my participation in communities of science. Perhaps my reflections will help an aspiring scientist see how fulfilling a career in science can be.

Abstract
Challenging diagnosis and unknown etiology of Kawasaki disease (KD) increase the coronary artery lesions incidence. microRNAs (miRNAs) are the most promising biomarkers because of their stability in peripheral blood and noninvasive measurement procedure, whose potential utility have been proved in cancers. To explore the utility of differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs as early diagnostic markers, 44 patients (25 incomplete KD and 19 complete KD) and 31 febrile controls were recruited for small RNA sequencing. From all the 1922 expressed miRNA, 210 DE miRNAs were found between KD and febrile control groups. Though platelet miRNA profiles of complete KD incomplete KD were much similar through cluster analysis, the DE miRNAs were not identical. Eight DE miRNAs were validated by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) in complete or incomplete KD groups using a normalizer, miR-126-3p, which was identified by geNorm and NormFinder tools. The expression level of miRNAs continuous changed over time was observed and the function analysis showed the potential role of miRNAs as therapeutic biomarkers. Additionally, the prediction model for KD showed a sensitivity of 78.8% and a specificity of 71.4%, respectively. This study used small RNA sequencing to identify miRNA biomarkers KD diagnosis based on a large sample size. Our findings shine a light on the understanding of molecular pathogenesis of KD and may improve the accuracy of KD diagnosis and prognosis in clinical.

Abstract
A crucial step for tumor cell extravasation and metastasis is the migration through the extracellular matrix, which requires proteolytic activity. Hence, proteases, particularly matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), have been discussed as therapeutic targets and their inhibition should diminish tumor growth and metastasis. The metalloproteases meprin α and meprin β are highly abundant on intestinal enterocytes and their expression was associated with different stages of colorectal cancer. Due to their ability to cleave extracellular matrix (ECM) components, they were suggested as pro-tumorigenic enzymes. Additionally, both meprins were shown to have pro-inflammatory activity by cleaving cytokines and their receptors, which correlates with chronic intestinal inflammation and associated conditions. On the other hand, meprin β was identified as an essential enzyme for the detachment and renewal of the intestinal mucus, important to prevent bacterial overgrowth and infection. Considering this, it is hard to estimate whether high activity of meprins is generally detrimental or if these enzymes have also protective functions in certain cancer types. For instance, for colorectal cancer, patients with high meprin β expression in tumor tissue exhibit a better survival prognosis, which is completely different to prostate cancer. This demonstrates that the very same enzyme may have contrary effects on tumor initiation and growth, depending on its tissue and subcellular localization. Hence, precise knowledge about proteolytic enzymes is required to design the most efficient therapeutic options for cancer treatment. In this review, we summarize the current findings on meprins' functions, expression, and cancer-associated variants with possible implications for tumor progression and metastasis.

Abstract
Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the commonest pediatric vasculitides and is associated with a significant risk of development of coronary artery abnormalities if left untreated. Areas covered: In this review, we have highlighted the incomplete and unusual presentations of KD and also emphasize the controversies pertaining to 2D echocardiography in KD. A PubMed search was performed regarding diagnosis and unusual presentations of KD. Expert opinion: Diagnosis of KD is essentially clinical and based on recognition of typical clinical features that may appear sequentially and all signs and symptoms may not be present at one point of time. There is no confirmatory laboratory test for diagnosis of this condition. Further complicating the picture is the fact that incomplete and atypical forms KD may be seen in up to 50% patients. Although 2D echocardiography continues to be the preferred imaging modality for cardiac assessment in patients with KD, it has its limitations.

Abstract
Wilms' tumor is the most common type of childhood kidney cancer. To improve risk stratification and identify novel therapeutic targets for patients with Wilms' tumor, we used high-resolution mass spectrometry proteomics to identify urine tumor markers associated with Wilms' tumor relapse. We determined the urine proteomes at diagnosis of 49 patients with Wilms' tumor, non-Wilms' tumor renal tumors, and age-matched controls, leading to the quantitation of 6520 urine proteins. Supervised analysis revealed specific urine markers of renal rhabdoid tumors, kidney clear cell sarcomas, renal cell carcinomas as well as those detected in patients with cured and relapsed Wilms' tumor. In particular, urine prohibitin was significantly elevated at diagnosis in patients with relapsed as compared with cured Wilms' tumor. In a validation cohort of 139 patients, a specific urine prohibitin ELISA demonstrated that prohibitin concentrations greater than 998 ng/mL at diagnosis were significantly associated with ultimate Wilms' tumor relapse. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that prohibitin was highly expressed in primary Wilms' tumor specimens and associated with disease stage. Using functional genetic experiments, we found that prohibitin was required for the growth and survival of Wilms' tumor cells. Overexpression of prohibitin was sufficient to block intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis and to cause resistance to diverse chemotherapy drugs, at least in part by dysregulating factors that control apoptotic cytochrome c release from mitochondrial cristae. Thus, urine prohibitin may improve therapy stratification, noninvasive monitoring of treatment response, and early disease detection. In addition, therapeutic targeting of chemotherapy resistance induced by prohibitin dysregulation may offer improved therapies for patients with Wilms' and other relapsed or refractory tumors.

Abstract
Cancer genomics research aims to advance personalized oncology by finding and targeting specific genetic alterations associated with cancers. In genome-driven oncology, treatments are selected for individual patients on the basis of the findings of tumour genome sequencing. This personalized approach has prolonged the survival of subsets of patients with cancer. However, many patients do not respond to the predicted therapies based on the genomic profiles of their tumours. Furthermore, studies pairing genomic and proteomic analyses of samples from the same tumours have shown that the proteome contains novel information that cannot be discerned through genomic analysis alone. This observation has led to the concept of proteogenomics, in which both types of data are leveraged for a more complete view of tumour biology that might enable patients to be more successfully matched to effective treatments than they would using genomics alone. In this Perspective, we discuss the added value of proteogenomics over the current genome-driven approach to the clinical characterization of cancers and summarize current efforts to incorporate targeted proteomic measurements based on selected/multiple reaction monitoring (SRM/MRM) mass spectrometry into the clinical laboratory to facilitate clinical proteogenomics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile childhood systemic vasculitis that disturbs coronary arteries. The pathogenesis remains unknown. The study of phosphorylated proteins helps to elucidate the relevant pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiovascular disease. However, few researches explored phosphorylated proteins in KD patients. METHODS We compared phosphoprotein profiles of HCAECs stimulated by the serum of KD patients and normal children using iTRAQ technology, TiO2 enrichment phosphorylated peptide and MS analysis. Then we conducted the functional analysis by ClueGO and the biological interaction networking analysis by ReactomeFIViz. Western blotting was performed to identify the hub proteins. RESULTS Our results revealed that phosphorylation of 148 proteins showed different intensities between the two HCAECs groups, which are enriched in MAPK, VEGFR, EGFR, Angiopoietin receptor, mTOR, FAK signaling pathway and so on. Through the Network Analyzer analysis, the hub proteins are CDKN1A, MAPK1 and POLR2A, which were experimentally validated. CONCLUSION In summary, we provided evidence addressing the valuable phosphorylation signaling that could be useful resource to understand the molecular mechanism and the potential targets for novel therapy of KD.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) has replaced acute rheumatic fever as the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children in the developed world and is increasingly being recognized from several developing countries. It is a systemic vasculitis with a predilection for coronary arteries. The diagnosis is based on a constellation of clinical findings that appear in a temporal sequence. Quite understandably, this can become a problem in situations wherein the clinical features are not typical. In such situations, it can be very difficult, if not impossible, to arrive at a diagnosis. Several biomarkers have been recognized in children with acute KD but none of these has reasonably high sensitivity and specificity in predicting the course of the illness. A line up of inflammatory, proteomic, gene expression and micro-RNA based biomarkers has been studied in association with KD. The commonly used inflammatory markers e.g. erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and total leucocyte counts (TLC) lack specificity for KD. Proteomic studies are based on the identification of specific proteins in serum, plasma and urine by gel electrophoresis. A host of genetic studies have identified genes associated with KD and some of these genes can predict the course and coronary outcomes in the affected individuals. Most of these tests are in the early stages of their development and some of these can predict the course, propensity to develop coronary artery sequelae, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) resistance and the severity of the illness in a patient. Development of clinical criteria based on these tests will improve our diagnostic acumen and aid in early identification and prevention of cardiovascular complications.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis that mainly afflicts infants and young children. The symptoms of KD are similar to those of various febrile diseases. Here, we attempted to develop accurate diagnostic biomarkers of KD by performing urine proteomic analysis of samples from healthy controls, patients with KD, and patients with another febrile disease, pneumonia (two patients). We identified differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in KD as compared to normal controls. We also constructed functional annotation and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks of DEPs in KD and pneumonia. DEPs common to both KD and pneumonia were identified, as well as DEPs specific to KD. Compared to normal control, 43 and 62 DEPs were identified in KD and pneumonia, respectively. Serine hydroxymethyltransferase 1 is a hub protein of the KD-specific PPI network. Thirteen DEPs common to both KD and pneumonia and 30 DEPs specific to KD were identified. Of these, the expression of eight DEPs could cluster normal and pneumonia samples into one group and cluster KD samples into another group based on hierarchical clustering. Our study identified several DEPs that may play a role in KD and that may serve as diagnostic biomarkers to distinguish patients with KD from both normal control and other febrile diseases.

Abstract
Quantitative proteomics using high-resolution and accuracy mass spectrometry promises to transform our understanding of biological systems and disease. Recent development of parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) using hybrid instruments substantially improved the specificity of targeted mass spectrometry. Combined with high-efficiency ion trapping, this approach also provided significant improvements in sensitivity. Here, we investigated the effects of ion isolation and accumulation on the sensitivity and quantitative accuracy of targeted proteomics using the recently developed hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap-linear ion trap mass spectrometer. We leveraged ultrahigh efficiency nano-electrospray ionization under optimized conditions to achieve yoctomolar sensitivity with more than seven orders of linear quantitative accuracy. To enable sensitive and specific targeted mass spectrometry, we implemented an automated, two-dimensional (2D) ion exchange-reversed phase nanoscale chromatography system. We found that automated 2D chromatography improved the sensitivity and accuracy of both PRM and an intact precursor scanning mass spectrometry method, termed accumulated ion monitoring (AIM), by more than 100-fold. Combined with automated 2D nano-scale chromatography, AIM achieved subattomolar limits of detection of endogenous proteins in complex biological proteomes. This allowed quantitation of absolute abundance of the human transcription factor MEF2C at ∼100 molecules/cell, and determination of its phosphorylation stoichiometry from as little as 1 μg of extracts isolated from 10,000 human cells. The combination of automated multidimensional nano-scale chromatography and targeted mass spectrometry should enable ultrasensitive high-accuracy quantitative proteomics of complex biological systems and diseases.

Abstract
The zinc-endopeptidases meprin α and meprin β are extracellular proteases involved in connective tissue homeostasis, intestinal barrier function and immunological processes. Meprins are unique among other extracellular proteases with regard to cleavage specificity and structure. Meprin α and meprin β have a strong preference for negatively charged amino acids around the scissile bond, reflected by cleavage sites identified in procollagen I, the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R). In this review we report on recent findings that summarize the complex molecular regulation of meprins, particular folding, activation and shedding. Dysregulation of meprin α and meprin β is often associated with pathological conditions such as neurodegeneration, inflammatory bowel disease and fibrosis. Based on mouse models and patient data we suggest meprins as possible key regulators in the onset and progression of fibrotic disorders, leading to severe diseases such as pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Soluble Interleukin-6 receptor (sIL-6R) mediated trans-signaling is an important pro-inflammatory stimulus associated with pathological conditions, such as arthritis, neurodegeneration and inflammatory bowel disease. The sIL-6R is generated proteolytically from its membrane bound form and A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease (ADAM) 10 and 17 were shown to perform ectodomain shedding of the receptor in vitro and in vivo. However, under certain conditions not all sIL-6R could be assigned to ADAM10/17 activity. Here, we demonstrate that the IL-6R is a shedding substrate of soluble meprin α and membrane bound meprin β, resulting in bioactive sIL-6R that is capable of inducing IL-6 trans-signaling. We determined cleavage within the N-terminal part of the IL-6R stalk region, distinct from the cleavage site reported for ADAM10/17. Interestingly, meprin β can be shed from the cell surface by ADAM10/17 and the observation that soluble meprin β is not capable of shedding the IL-6R suggests a regulatory mechanism towards trans-signaling. Additionally, we observed a significant negative correlation of meprin β expression and IL-6R levels on human granulocytes, providing evidence for in vivo function of this proteolytic interaction.

Abstract
Given superior analytical features, MS proteomics is well suited for the basic investigation and clinical diagnosis of human disease. Modern MS enables detailed functional characterization of the pathogenic biochemical processes, as achieved by accurate and comprehensive quantification of proteins and their regulatory chemical modifications. Here, we describe how high-accuracy MS in combination with high-resolution chromatographic separations can be leveraged to meet these analytical requirements in a mechanism-focused manner. We review the quantification methods capable of producing accurate measurements of protein abundance and posttranslational modification stoichiometries. We then discuss how experimental design and chromatographic resolution can be leveraged to achieve comprehensive functional characterization of biochemical processes in complex biological proteomes. Finally, we describe current approaches for quantitative analysis of a common functional protein modification: reversible phosphorylation. In all, current instrumentation and methods of high-resolution chromatography and MS proteomics are poised for immediate translation into improved diagnostic strategies for pediatric and adult diseases.

Abstract
Background. Pediatric Kawasaki disease (KD) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)+ adult Kawasaki-like syndrome (KLS) are dramatic vasculitides with similar physical findings. Both syndromes include unusual arterial histopathology with immunoglobulin (Ig)A+ plasma cells, and both impressively respond to pooled Ig therapy. Their distinctive presentations, histopathology, and therapeutic response suggest a common etiology. Because blood is in immediate contact with inflamed arteries, we investigated whether KD and KLS share an inflammatory signature in serum. Methods. A custom multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) defined the serum cytokine milieu in 2 adults with KLS during acute and convalescent phases, with asymptomatic HIV+ subjects not taking antiretroviral therapy serving as controls. We then prospectively collected serum and plasma samples from children hospitalized with KD, unrelated febrile illnesses, and noninfectious conditions, analyzing them with a custom multiplex ELISA based on the KLS data. Results. Patients with KLS and KD subjects shared an inflammatory signature including acute-phase reactants reflecting tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α biologic activity (soluble TNF receptor I/II) and endothelial/smooth muscle chemokines Ccl1 (Th2), Ccl2 (vascular inflammation), and Cxcl11 (plasma cell recruitment). Ccl1 was specifically elevated in KD versus febrile controls, suggesting a unique relationship between Ccl1 and KD/KLS pathogenesis. Conclusions. This study defines a KD/KLS inflammatory signature mirroring a dysfunctional response likely to a common etiologic agent. The KD/KLS inflammatory signature based on elevated acute-phase reactants and specific endothelial/smooth muscle chemokines was able to identify KD subjects versus febrile controls, and it may serve as a practicable diagnostic test for KD.

Abstract
A serious problem during intensive care and nursing of premature infants is the invasiveness of many examination methods. Urine is an excellent source of potential biomarkers due to the safety of the collection procedure. The purpose of this study was to determine the features specific for the urine proteome of preterm newborns and their changes under respiratory pathologies of infectious and non-infectious origin. The urine proteome of 37 preterm neonates with respiratory diseases and 10 full-term newborns as a control group were investigated using the LC-MS/MS method. The total number of identified proteins and unique peptides was 813 and 3672 respectively. In order to further specify the defined infant-specific dataset these proteins were compared with urine proteome of healthy adults (11 men and 11 pregnant women) resulting in 94 proteins found only in infants. Pairwise analysis performed for label-free proteomic data revealed 36 proteins which reliably distinguished newborns with respiratory disorders of infectious genesis from those with non-infectious pathologies, including: proteins involved in cell adhesion (CDH-2,-5,-11, NCAM1, TRY1, DSG2), metabolism (LAMP1, AGRN, TPP1, GPX3, APOD, CUBN, IDH1), regulation of enzymatic activity (SERPINA4, VASN, GAPDH), inflammatory and stress response (CD55, CD 93, NGAL, HP, TNFR, LCN2, AGT, S100P, SERPINA1/C1/B1/F1).

Abstract
Objectives Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute pediatric vasculitis of infants and young children with unknown etiology and no specific laboratory-based test to identify. A specific molecular diagnostic test is urgently needed to support the clinical decision of proper medical intervention, preventing subsequent complications of coronary artery aneurysms. We used a simple and low-cost colorimetric sensor array to address the lack of a specific diagnostic test to differentiate KD from febrile control (FC) patients with similar rash/fever illnesses. Study Design Demographic and clinical data were prospectively collected for subjects with KD and FCs under standard protocol. After screening using a genetic algorithm, eleven compounds including metalloporphyrins, pH indicators, redox indicators and solvatochromic dye categories, were selected from our chromatic compound library (n = 190) to construct a colorimetric sensor array for diagnosing KD. Quantitative color difference analysis led to a decision-tree-based KD diagnostic algorithm. Results This KD sensing array allowed the identification of 94% of KD subjects (receiver operating characteristic [ROC] area under the curve [AUC] 0.981) in the training set (33 KD, 33 FC) and 94% of KD subjects (ROC AUC: 0.873) in the testing set (16 KD, 17 FC). Color difference maps reconstructed from the digital images of the sensing compounds demonstrated distinctive patterns differentiating KD from FC patients. Conclusions The colorimetric sensor array, composed of common used chemical compounds, is an easily accessible, low-cost method to realize the discrimination of subjects with KD from other febrile illness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND National estimates of Kawasaki disease (KD) incidence often do not include incomplete cases (diagnosed based on only laboratory or echocardiographic criteria), and/or they rely on retrospective case reports and data registries where underreporting is known to be a problem. METHODS We conducted a prospective nationwide KD surveillance study in children younger than 5 years through the hospital-based German Pediatric Surveillance Unit (ESPED). We accounted for underreporting through applying capture-recapture methodology in 2 federal states using hospital discharge records with KD International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th revision code (ie, M30.3). KD diagnosis (complete and incomplete) was established according to the American Heart Association criteria, 2004. RESULTS Incidence of KD, corrected for underreporting, was 7.2 of 100,000 in children younger than 5 years in Germany. Underreporting to ESPED was estimated at 37%-44%. Overall, 315 validated KD cases were reported. Of the 64 (20%) incomplete cases, 58% (37/64) were detected through echocardiographic findings and 42% (27/64) through laboratory criteria alone. Incomplete cases were younger than complete cases (1.2 vs. 2.0 years, P = 0.0001) and had more coronary aneurysms (43% vs. 11%, P = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS A substantial number of incomplete KD cases were diagnosed based on the laboratory and echocardiographic criteria only. This was particularly the case in relation to infants younger than 1 year-an age group known to have an increased risk of developing coronary aneurysms. In addition, we found a high rate of underreporting to national Pediatric Surveillance Units. We suggest that improved surveillance and development of better diagnostic tests remain a high priority.

Abstract
The systemic vasculitis is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by the inflammation of blood vessels. The development of advanced diagnostic tests and genetic studies have resulted in greater improvement in our understanding of vasculitis pathogenesis and thus in the development of newer therapies. However, there is still an unmet need in the management of systemic vasculitis, focused on developing of new biomarkers that would enable distinction between active disease from damage or infection and predict treatment response and prognosis.

Abstract
The promises of data-independent acquisition (DIA) strategies are a comprehensive and reproducible digital qualitative and quantitative record of the proteins present in a sample. We developed a fast and robust DIA method for comprehensive mapping of the urinary proteome that enables large scale urine proteomics studies. Compared to a data-dependent acquisition (DDA) experiments, our DIA assay doubled the number of identified peptides and proteins per sample at half the coefficients of variation observed for DDA data (DIA = ∼8%; DDA = ∼16%). We also tested different spectral libraries and their effects on overall protein and peptide identifications and their reproducibilities, which provided clear evidence that sample type-specific spectral libraries are preferred for reliable data analysis. To show applicability for biomarker discovery experiments, we analyzed a sample set of 87 urine samples from children seen in the emergency department with abdominal pain. The whole set was analyzed with high proteome coverage (∼1300 proteins/sample) in less than 4 days. The data set revealed excellent biomarker candidates for ovarian cyst and urinary tract infection. The improved throughput and quantitative performance of our optimized DIA workflow allow for the efficient simultaneous discovery and verification of biomarker candidates without the requirement for an early bias toward selected proteins.

MASS SPECTROMETRY REVIEWS 2015; 34:571-594. [PMID: 24375671 DOI: 10.1002/mas.21419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2013] [Revised: 11/12/2013] [Accepted: 11/12/2013] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
Detection of misuse of peptides and proteins as growth promoters is a major issue for sport and food regulatory agencies. The limitations of current analytical detection strategies for this class of compounds, in combination with their efficacy in growth-promoting effects, make peptide and protein drugs highly susceptible to abuse by either athletes or farmers who seek for products to illicitly enhance muscle growth. Mass spectrometry (MS) for qualitative analysis of peptides and proteins is well-established, particularly due to tremendous efforts in the proteomics community. Similarly, due to advancements in targeted proteomic strategies and the rapid growth of protein-based biopharmaceuticals, MS for quantitative analysis of peptides and proteins is becoming more widely accepted. These continuous advances in MS instrumentation and MS-based methodologies offer enormous opportunities for detection and confirmation of peptides and proteins. Therefore, MS seems to be the method of choice to improve the qualitative and quantitative analysis of peptide and proteins with growth-promoting properties. This review aims to address the opportunities of MS for peptide and protein analysis in veterinary control and sports-doping control with a particular focus on detection of illicit growth promotion. An overview of potential peptide and protein targets, including their amino acid sequence characteristics and current MS-based detection strategies is, therefore, provided. Furthermore, improvements of current and new detection strategies with state-of-the-art MS instrumentation are discussed for qualitative and quantitative approaches.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is the archetypal pediatric vasculitis, exemplifying the unique aspects and challenges of vascular inflammation in children. The condition is almost unheard of in adults, is closely associated with infections, and is self-limited, with fever resolving after an average of 12 days even without treatment. Yet KD is also a potentially fatal disease and the most common cause of acquired heart disease in the developed world. Unraveling of the developmental, immunologic, and genetic secrets of Kawasaki disease promises to improve our understanding of vasculitis in particular, and perhaps also to provide a window on the fundamental mysteries of inflammatory diseases in general.

Abstract
IgA vasculitis (IgAV), previously named as Henoch–Schönlein purpura, is the most common systematic vasculitis with unknown etiology. Lack of appropriate study system and/or animal model limits the understanding of its molecular pathogenesis and hinders the identification of targets for rational therapy, especially for its long-term complication, IgAV nephritis (IgAVN). In this study, we applied comparative analysis of serum proteomes to obtain an insight about disease pathogenesis. This study has utilized high sensitivity nanoscale ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) to investigate the alterations in serum proteomic profiles in patients with IgAV (n=6), IgAVN (n=6) and healthy subjects (n=7). The differentially expressed proteins were subjected to functional pathway analysis by PANTHER and DAVID software. We identified 107 differentially expressed proteins among three different groups, and functional analysis suggested that, in addition to earlier reported pathways, such as acute phase response, immune response, complement and blood coagulation pathways, hemostasis and Wnt signaling pathway were probably involved in pathogenesis of IgAV. A few differentially abundant proteins identified, such as C4a, serum amyloid A, angiotensinogen, and kininogen 1, were further validated by ELISA. More importantly, we found that angiotensinogen concentration is correlated with IgAVN and could be used as a potential marker for the progression of IgAV. This is the first report of analyzing the proteomic alterations in IgAV patients and the differentially proteins identified in this study may enhance understanding of the pathology of IgAV and a few of them may be used to monitor disease progression.

Abstract
Background The analysis of urinary proteome might reveal biomarkers of clinical value. However, current methods of urine preparation for down-stream proteomic analysis are complicated, time-consuming, and/or expensive. This study aims to develop a robust, simple, inexpensive and readily accessible urine preparation method to facilitate clinical proteomic workflow. Result Syringe-push membrane absorption (SPMA) was successfully developed by a combination of 5-ml medical syringe and protein-absorbable membrane. Comparing three membranes i.e., nitrocellulose, polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) and Whatman no.1, nitrocellulose combined with SPMA (nitrocellulose-SPMA) provided the greatest quality of proteome profile as demonstrated by 2-DE. The quality of the proteome profile and the performance of nitrocellulose-SPMA were systematically compared with three current methods of urine preparation (i.e., ultrafiltration, dialysis/lyophilization and precipitation). While different methods of urine preparation provided comparable proteome quality, nitrocellulose-SPMA had better working performance due to acceptable recovery yield, less workload, short working time, high accessibility and low unit cost. In addition, protein absorbed on nitrocellulose harvested from the SPMA procedure could be stored as a dried membrane at room temperature for at least 1-month without protein degradation or modification. Conclusions SPMA is a simple rapid method of preparing urine for downstream proteomic analysis. Because of it is highly accessible and has long storage duration, this technique holds potential benefit for large-scale multi-center research and future development of clinical investigation based upon urinary proteomic analysis.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD), an acute vasculitis that preferentially affects coronary arteries, is still the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. Although the involvement of immune system malfunction in the onset of KD is suggested, its etiology still remains to be clarified. We investigated autoantibodies in KD patients, which are frequently found in sera from patients with autoimmune diseases, vasculitides and arteritides. We performed two-dimensional western blotting and LC-MS/MS to analyze the antigens of autoantibodies, detected two protein spots with 4 out of 24 sera from KD patients but not with 6 control sera, and identified the antigens as 4-trimethylaminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase (TMABA-DH). A slot blot analysis with TMABA-DH as an antigen also revealed higher reactivities of patients' sera than control sera (positive rates: 18/43 vs 3/41). Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we found that the reactivity of anti-TMABA-DH antibodies in sera from KD patients was significantly higher than that in sera from age-matched controls. The optimal cut-off value of 0.043 had a sensitivity of 83.7% and a specificity of 80.0% in detecting KD patients (positive rates: 37/43 for KD patients, 9/41 for controls). Immunohistochemistry performed on thin sections of rat heart revealed that TMABA-DH colocalized with myosin light chains in cardiac myocytes. Patient sera with high reactivity gave similar immunostaining pattern. These results suggest that the detection of anti-TMABA-DH autoantibody could be a potential strategy for a diagnosis of KD.

Abstract
Introduction Kawasaki disease is an acute necrotising vasculitis of the medium- and small-sized vessels, occurring mainly in Japanese and Korean babies and children, aged 6 months to 5 years. Its main complication is damage of coronary arteries, which has the potential to be fatal. Here we report a rare case of Kawasaki disease that occurred in a 20-year-old Greek adult. Case presentation A 20-year-old Greek man presented with high fever, appetite loss, nausea and vomiting, headache and significant malaise. He had an erythema of the palms and strikingly red lips and conjunctiva. As he did not respond to broad-spectrum antibiotics and after having excluded other possible diagnoses, the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease was set. He was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and oral aspirin on the 10th day since the onset of the illness. His clinico-laboratory response was excellent and no coronary artery aneurysms were detected in coronary artery computed tomography performed 1 month later. Conclusions This report of an adult case of European Kawasaki disease may be of benefit to physicians of various specialties, including primary care doctors, hospital internists, intensivists and cardiologists. It demonstrates that a case of prolonged fever, unresponsive to antibiotics, in the absence of other diagnoses may be an incident of Kawasaki disease. It is worth stressing that such a diagnosis should be considered, even if the patient is adult and not of Asian lineage.

Abstract
Proteomics is the study of structures and functions of proteins, while metabolomics is the study of small-molecule metabolites in the cells, tissues, and organs of the organism. Proteomic technologies have wide applications in medical field. The current revolution in proteomics has led to the discovery of several new protein markers for various disorders. Urinary proteomics and metabolomics have also evolved in the recent years, for the diagnosis of both renal and nonrenal disorders. The urinary proteome varies in normal and abnormal conditions. Different techniques are employed for the analysis of pediatric urinary proteome, the commonest being MS. Before introduction into clinical use, there is the need for careful standardization. Available data suggest that there are differences in urinary proteome between adult and pediatric populations. It is noted that infant urine contains proteins involved in translation and transcription, cellular growth, and metabolic processes, which are not predominant in adult urine. Available data on urinary proteomic and metabolomic profile in common pediatric disorders are also reviewed here.

Abstract
Urine has been an important body fluid source for diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of diseases for a long time. Technological advances during the last two decades have enabled a fundamental shift from the discovery of candidate protein biomarkers using single-assay platforms to highly parallel liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based proteomic analysis platforms. MS/MS-based approaches such as multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) are also being used increasingly for targeted protein biomarker validation. In large part due to the fact that the majority of protein in voided urine is soluble, such studies have focused on the analysis of urine supernatants, whereas the pellets were discarded after centrifugal sedimentation. Urine sediments are of particular value in the analysis of urinary tract infections (UTI). The LC-MS/MS methods now have sufficient resolving power and sensitivity to survey metaproteomes--the entirety of proteins derived from multiple organisms that interact with each other in mutualistic or antagonistic fashion. Challenges of proteomic analysis of urine include the high dynamic range of protein abundance, high levels of protein post-translational modifications, and high quantities of natural protease inhibitors. Recently, a robust and scalable workflow that can parallelize the processing of multiple urinary supernatant and sediment samples was developed and validated in our lab. This method utilizes 96-well format filter-aided sample preparation (96FASP) strategy and was shown to successfully identify large numbers of proteins from urine samples. Processing 10-50 µg total protein in single experiment, LC-MS/MS with a Q-Exactive mass spectrometer resulted in more than 1,100 distinct human protein identifications from urine supernatants, and around 400 microbial and 1,400 human protein identifications from urine sediments. The surveys are a rich data resource not only for biomarker discovery but also to interrogate mechanisms of pathogenesis in the urinary system.

Abstract
RATIONALE Kawasaki disease (KD), an acute febrile vasculitis, is the most common cause of acquired heart disease in childhood; however, diagnosing KD can be difficult. OBJECTIVE To identify unique proteomic biomarkers that can be used to facilitate earlier diagnosis of KD. METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 214 children with fever and clinical features suggestive of KD. Of those, only 100 were diagnosed with KD. Their plasma samples were globally analyzed for cytokines, chemokines, and cell adhesion molecules using an unbiased, large-scale, quantitative protein array. This study was conducted in 3 stages: discovery, replication, and blinded validation. During the discovery phase (n [KD]=37; n [control]=20), the expression of interleukin-17F, sCD40L, E-selectin, CCL23 (myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor 1), and CXCL10 (IFN-γ-inducible protein 10 [IP-10]) were upregulated during the acute phase in patients with KD when compared with that in the controls. A notable increase was observed in the IP-10 levels (KD, 3037 ± 226.7 pg/mL; control, 672 ± 130.4 pg/mL; P=4.1 × 10(-11)). Receiver-operating characteristic analysis of the combined discovery and replication data (n [KD]=77; n [control]=77) showed that the IP-10 level had high area under the curve values (0.94 [95% confidence interval, 0.9055-0.9778]; sensitivity, 100%; and specificity, 77%). With 1318 pg/mL as the optimal cutoff, the blinded validation study confirmed that the IP-10 levels were a good predictor of KD. With intravenous immunoglobulin treatment, the IP-10 levels returned to normal. The downstream receptor of IP-10, CXCR3, was activated in the T cells of patients with acute KD. CONCLUSIONS IP-10 may be used as a biomarker to facilitate KD diagnosis, and it may provide clues about the pathogenesis of KD.

Abstract
Obstructive nephropathy is a frequently encountered situation in newborns. In previous studies, the urinary peptidome has been analyzed for the identification of clinically useful biomarkers of obstructive nephropathy. However, the urinary proteome has not been explored yet and should allow additional insight into the pathophysiology of the disease. We have analyzed the urinary proteome of newborns (n = 5/group) with obstructive nephropathy using label free quantitative nanoLC-MS/MS allowing the identification and quantification of 970 urinary proteins. We next focused on proteins exclusively regulated in severe obstructive nephropathy and identified Arginase 1 as a potential candidate molecule involved in the development of obstructive nephropathy, located at the crossroad of pro- and antifibrotic pathways. The reduced urinary abundance of Arginase 1 in obstructive nephropathy was verified in independent clinical samples using both Western blot and MRM analysis. These data were confirmed in situ in kidneys obtained from a mouse obstructive nephropathy model. In addition, we also observed increased expression of Arginase 2 and increased total arginase activity in obstructed mouse kidneys. mRNA expression analysis of the related arginase pathways indicated that the pro-fibrotic arginase-related pathway is activated during obstructive nephropathy. Taken together we have identified a new actor in the development of obstructive nephropathy in newborns using quantitative urinary proteomics and shown its involvement in an in vivo model of disease. The present study demonstrates the relevance of such a quantitative urinary proteomics approach with clinical samples for a better understanding of the pathophysiology and for the discovery of potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Proteomics is a rapidly evolving ''post-genomic'' science utilizing advanced technologies in protein separation, identification, quantitation and heavily relying on bioinformatics. Proteomic research in pediatrics is important and most of the successes thus far are seen in research that utilize samples that require less invasive procedures and focus on prevailing childhood diseases such as acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and neuroblastoma. Recent advances in proteomics are helping to elucidate platelet processes that are relevant to bleeding and clotting disorders, as well as other important roles of platelets such as in angiogenesis and inflammation. Nevertheless, most of platelet proteome data obtained to date are derived from the adult population and the potential of platelet proteomic application in children has not yet been explored. As it happens in all research fields, there are additional challenges in studying children such as procuring sufficient biological samples and access to less common disease cohorts as compared to in adults. Furthermore, many of the prevalent platelet-mediated diseases in adults, such as coronary heart disease and atherosclerotic lesions, are believed to have origins during childhood. Hence, platelet proteomic research in children may reveal some important information on how platelet plays a role in the pathogenesis of disease. In this article, we refer to the current knowledge from platelet proteomic research strategies in adults and address the specific concerns in the study of pediatric samples.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Better biomarkers are needed for guiding management of patients with vasculitis. Large cohorts and technological advances had led to an increase in preclinical studies of potential biomarkers. RECENT FINDINGS The most interesting markers described recently include a gene expression signature in CD8+ T cells that predicts tendency to relapse or remain relapse-free in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, and a pair of urinary proteins that are elevated in Kawasaki disease but not other febrile illnesses. Both of these studies used 'omics' technologies to generate and then test hypotheses. More conventional hypothesis-based studies have indicated that the following circulating proteins have potential to improve upon clinically available tests: pentraxin-3 in giant cell arteritis and Takayasu's arteritis; von Willebrand factor antigen in childhood central nervous system vasculitis; eotaxin-3 and other markers related to eosinophils or Th2 immune responses in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome); and matrix metalloproteinase-3, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, and CXCL13 in ANCA-associated vasculitis. SUMMARY New markers testable in blood and urine have the potential to assist with diagnosis, staging, assessment of current disease activity, and prognosis. However, the standards for clinical usefulness, in particular, the demonstration of either very high sensitivity or very high specificity have yet to be met for clinically relevant outcomes.

Abstract
Urine is an important, noninvasively collected body fluid source for the diagnosis and prognosis of human diseases. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) based shotgun proteomics has evolved as a sensitive and informative technique to discover candidate disease biomarkers from urine specimens. Filter-aided sample preparation (FASP) generates peptide samples from protein mixtures of cell lysate or body fluid origin. Here, we describe a FASP method adapted to 96-well filter plates, named 96FASP. Soluble urine concentrates containing ~10 μg of total protein were processed by 96FASP and LC-MS resulting in 700-900 protein identifications at a 1% false discovery rate (FDR). The experimental repeatability, as assessed by label-free quantification and Pearson correlation analysis for shared proteins among replicates, was high (R ≥ 0.97). Application to urinary pellet lysates which is of particular interest in the context of urinary tract infection analysis was also demonstrated. On average, 1700 proteins (±398) were identified in five experiments. In a pilot study using 96FASP for analysis of eight soluble urine samples, we demonstrated that protein profiles of technical replicates invariably clustered; the protein profiles for distinct urine donors were very different from each other. Robust, highly parallel methods to generate peptide mixtures from urine and other body fluids are critical to increase cost-effectiveness in clinical proteomics projects. This 96FASP method has potential to become a gold standard for high-throughput quantitative clinical proteomics.

Abstract
Periostin was upregulated 11-fold in acute and chronic Kawasaki disease coronary arteries compared with controls (P = 0.003). Kawasaki disease patients had significantly elevated serum periostin values compared with febrile controls (P = 0.0086). There was no relationship between serum periostin values and age, gender or acute phase reactants; there was a relationship between serum periostin and maximal coronary artery Z scores that did not reach significance (P = 0.08). Periostin may prove to be useful as a component of a future diagnostic biomarker panel for Kawasaki Disease.
