Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a disease of unknown pathophysiology, with the diagnosis being based on a set of clinical criteria. Proteomic analysis can provide significant biological information for the pathophysiology of the disease but may also reveal biomarkers for diagnosis or therapeutic targets. The present systematic review aims to synthesize the evidence regarding the proteome of adult patients with FMS using data from observational studies. RECENT FINDINGS An extensive literature search was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed, CENTRAL, and clinicaltrials.gov from inception until November 2022. The study protocol was published in OSF. Two independent reviewers evaluated the studies and extracted data. The quality of studies was assessed using the modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale adjusted for proteomic research. Ten studies fulfilled the protocol criteria, identifying 3328 proteins, 145 of which were differentially expressed among patients with FMS against controls. The proteins were identified in plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, and saliva samples. The control groups included healthy individuals and patients with pain (inflammatory and non-inflammatory). The most important proteins identified involved transferrin, α-, β-, and γ-fibrinogen chains, profilin-1, transaldolase, PGAM1, apolipoprotein-C3, complement C4A and C1QC, immunoglobin parts, and acute phase reactants. Weak correlations were observed between proteins and pain sensation, or quality of life scales, apart from the association of transferrin and a2-macroglobulin with moderate-to-severe pain sensation. The quality of included studies was moderate-to-good. FMS appears to be related to protein dysregulation in the complement and coagulation cascades and the metabolism of iron. Several proteins may be dysregulated due to the excessive oxidative stress response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) is an essential plasma carrier protein, which plays possible roles in reproductive health, disease and so on. However, the effects of VDBP on immunity have not been fully studied and the pertinent literatures remain very limited. OBJECTIVE In this study, we introduced the exogenous VDBP into DC2.4 and established a stable DC2.4/VDBP cell line to explore the role of this gene in immunity. METHODS Dendritic cells (DCs), as the most effective antigen presenting cells (APC) found so far, are directly involved in regulating some innate immunity. In order to evaluate the biological role of VDBP in DCs, we stably overexpressed VDBP in DCs, and conducted Cell Counting Kit‑8 (CCK-8 kit) and flow cytometry to detect changes in cell function. CCK-8 kit was used to monitor the viability of DCs after gene overexpression, and flow cytometry was used to detect changes in cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. Subsequently, in order to reveal the mechanism of VDBP regulating DCs, we adopted RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). RESULTS CCK-8 results revealed VDBP successfully inhibited viability of DCs. Besides, we found that overexpression of this gene greatly promoted apoptosis and obviously altered the cell cycle distribution of DCs in G1 and G2 phases. Moreover, RNA-seq was carried out and 151 differently expression genes (DEGs) were obtained. In addition, gene differential expression analysis showed that most of them were uniformly enriched in immunity-related pathways. CONCLUSION These results indicated that VDBP greatly repressed proliferation, facilitated apoptosis and changed cell cycle in DCs via altering the expression levels of gene associated with their cellular immunity.

Abstract
The incidence and clinical features of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) have been shown to vary according to geographical areas, with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) being more common in northern Europe and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) being more common in Asian countries. The annual incidence of GPA among Asians varies between 0.37/million to 2.1/million population. The prevalence of GPA has been estimated to be 1.94/100 000 in a Chinese population. Polymorphisms in class II major histocompatibility genes and ETS1 proto-oncogene has been shown in Asian patients with GPA. There is a difference in mean age at onset and proteinase 3 (PR3) or myeloperoxidase (MPO) positivity in GPA patients from different Asian countries. Those from India had mean age of 40 years and those from Japan had mean age of 65 years. Sixty percent of GPA patients from China and Japan were MPO ANCA positive while the majority of patients from India and Korea were PR3 positive. Geographical variation with lower frequency of renal involvement in Indian studies and higher frequency in Chinese patients has also been noted. Treatment outcomes have been similar to those reported from other parts of the world. Remission was achieved in about two-thirds of patients while relapses were noted in one-third to half of the patients. Apart from minor differences in the organ systems involved, MPO-ANCA GPA and PR3-ANCA GPA had similar rates of remission and relapses.

Abstract
Precision medicine is designing the medical care by taking into account the individual variability for each person. We have tried to address whether the existing data may guide precision medicine in primary systemic vasculitides (PSV). We have reviewed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data, lessons from monogenic mimics of these diseases, and biomarker studies in immunoglobulin A vasculitis/Henoch–Schönlein purpura, Kawasaki disease, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis, polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), Takayasu arteritis, and Behçet’s disease (BD). GWAS provide insights about the pathogenesis of PSV while whole exome sequencing studies lead to discovery of monogenic vasculitides, phenotype of which could mimic other types of vasculitis such as PAN and BD. Monogenic vasculitides form a subgroup of vasculitis which are caused by single gene alterations and discovery of these diseases has enabled more specific therapies in these patients. With increasing number of studies on biomarkers, new targets for treatment appear and better and structured follow-up of PSV patients will become possible. Proteomics and metabolomics studies are required to better categorize our patients with PSV so that we can manage them appropriately and offer more targeted therapy.

Abstract
Proteomics has emerged as a highly promising bioanalytical technique in various aspects of applied biological research. In Indian academia, proteomics research has grown remarkably over the last decade. It is being extensively used for both basic as well as translation research in the areas of infectious and immune disorders, reproductive disorders, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, eye disorders, human cancers and hematological disorders. Recently, some seminal works on clinical proteomics have been reported from several laboratories across India. This review aims to shed light on the increasing use of proteomics in India in a variety of biological conditions. It also highlights that India has the expertise and infrastructure needed for pursuing proteomics research in the country and to participate in global initiatives. Research in clinical proteomics is gradually picking up pace in India and its future seems very bright.

Abstract
Although being discovered in 1959, the number of published papers in recent years reveals that vitamin D binding protein (DBP), a member of the albuminoid superfamily, is a hot research topic. Besides the three major phenotypes (DBP1F, DBP1S and DBP2), more than 120 unique variants have been described of this polymorphic protein. The presence of DBP has been demonstrated in different body fluids (serum, urine, breast milk, ascitic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva and seminal fluid) and organs (brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, placenta, spleen, testes and uterus). Although the major function is binding, solubilization and transport of vitamin D and its metabolites, the name of this glycoprotein hides numerous other important biological functions. In this review, we will focus on the analytical aspects of the determination of DBP and discuss in detail the multifunctional capacity [actin scavenging, binding of fatty acids, chemotaxis, binding of endotoxins, influence on T cell response and influence of vitamin D binding protein-macrophage activating factor (DBP-MAF) on bone metabolism and cancer] of this abundant plasma protein.
