Abstract
Endometriosis has a wide range of clinical manifestations, and the disease course is unpredictable, making the diagnosis a challenging task. Despite significant advances in the pathophysiology of endometriosis and various proposed theories, the exact etiology is not fully understood and is still unknown. The most commonly used biomarker of endometriosis is CA-125, however, it is nonspecific and is applied for cancers diagnosis. Therefore, the development of reliable noninvasive diagnostic tests for the early diagnosis of endometriosis remains one of the top priorities. Omics technologies are very promising approaches for constructing diagnostic models and biomarker discovery. Their use can greatly facilitate the study of such a complex disease as endometriosis. Nowadays, powerful analytical platforms commonly used in omics, such as gas and liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, have proven to be a promising tools for biomarker discovery. The aim of this review is to summarize the various features of the analytical approaches, practical challenges and features of gas and liquid chromatography with MS and NMR spectroscopy (including sample processing protocols, technological advancements, and methodology) used for profiling of metabolites, lipids, peptides and proteins in physiological fluids and tissues from patients with endometriosis. In addition, this report devotes special attention to the issue of how comprehensive analyses of these profiles can effectively contribute to the study of endometriosis. The search query included reports published between 2012 and 2022 years in PubMed, Web-of-Science, SCOPUS, Science Direct.

Association between Venom Immunotherapy and Changes in Serum Protein-Peptide Patterns. Vaccines (Basel) 2021; 9:vaccines9030249. [PMID: 33809001 PMCID: PMC8001044 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines9030249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Venom immunotherapy (VIT) is administered to allergic patients to reduce the risk of dangerous systemic reactions following an insect sting. To better understand the mechanism of this treatment and its impact on the human organism, we analysed serum proteomic patterns obtained at five time-points from Hymenoptera-venom-allergic patients undergoing VIT. For statistical analyses, patients were additionally divided into two groups (high responders and low responders) according to serum sIgG4 levels. VIT was found to be associated with changes in seven proteins: the fibrinogen alpha chain, complement C4-A, complement C3, filamin-B, kininogen-1, myosin-9 and inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H1. The number of discriminative m/z (mass-to-charge ratio) features increased up to the 90th day of VIT, which may be associated with the development of immunity after the administration of increased venom doses. It may also suggest that during VIT, there may occur processes involved not only in protein synthesis but also in protein degradation (caused by proteolytic venom components). The results are consistent with measured serum sIgG4 levels, which increased from 2.04 mgA/I at baseline to 7.25 mgA/I at 90 days. Moreover, the major proteomic changes were detected separately in the high responder group. This may suggest that changes in protein–peptide profiles reflect the actual response to VIT.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home care, cost-effective renal replacement therapy (RRT), which offers several advantages over the most used dialysis modality, hemodialysis. Despite its potential benefits, however, PD is an under-prescribed method of treating uremic patients. Infectious complications (primarily peritonitis) and bio-incompatibility of PD solutions are the main contributors to PD drop-out, due to their potential for altering the functional and anatomical integrity of the peritoneal membrane. To improve the clinical outcome of PD, there is a need for biomarkers to identify patients at risk of PD-related complications and to guide personalized interventions. Several recent studies have shown that proteomic investigation may be a powerful tool in the prediction, early diagnosis, prognostic assessment, and therapeutic monitoring of patients on PD. Indeed, analysis of the proteome present in PD effluent has uncovered several proteins involved in inflammation and pro-fibrotic insult, in encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, or even in detecting early changes before any measurable modifications occur in the traditional clinical parameters used to evaluate PD efficacy. We here review the proteomic studies conducted thus far, addressing the potential use of such omics methodology in identifying potential new biomarkers of the peritoneal membrane welfare in relation to dialytic prescription and adequacy.

Abstract
Background Hymenoptera venom allergy is one of the most frequent causes of anaphylaxis. In its most severe form, the reaction to wasp and honey bee stings may be life-threatening. Therefore, immediate and proper diagnosis of venom allergy and implementation of suitable therapy are extremely important. Broadening the knowledge on the mechanism of the allergic reaction may contribute to the improvement of both diagnostic and treatment methods. Thus, this study aimed to discover changes in protein expression in serum of patients allergic to Hymenoptera (wasp and honeybee) venom and to point out proteins and peptides involved in the allergic inflammation. Methods Serum proteomic patterns typical to allergic patients and healthy volunteers were obtained with MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight) mass spectrometer. The spectra were processed, analyzed and compared using advanced bioinformatics tools. The discriminative peaks were subjected to identification with liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Results This methodology allowed for the identification of four features differentiating between allergy and control groups. They were: fibrinogen alpha chain, coagulation factor XIII chain A, complement C4-A, and inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4. All of these proteins are involved in allergic inflammatory response. Conclusions Extending the knowledge of the Hymenoptera venom sensitization will contribute to the development of novel, sensitive and specific methods for quick and unambiguous allergy diagnosis. Understanding the basis of the allergy at the proteomic level will support the improvement of preventive and therapeutic measures.

Challenges in biomarker discovery with MALDI-TOF MS. Clin Chim Acta 2016; 458:84-98. [PMID: 27134187 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2016.04.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2016] [Revised: 04/21/2016] [Accepted: 04/27/2016] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
MALDI-TOF MS technique is commonly used in system biology and clinical studies to search for new potential markers associated with pathological conditions. Despite numerous concerns regarding a sample preparation or processing of complex data, this strategy is still recognized as a popular tool and its awareness has risen in the proteomic community over the last decade. In this review, we present comprehensive application of MALDI mass spectrometry with special focus on profiling research. We also discuss major advantages and disadvantages of universal sample preparation methods such as micro-SPE columns, immunodepletion or magnetic beads, and we show the potential of nanostructured materials in capturing low molecular weight subproteomes. Furthermore, as the general protocol considerably affects spectra quality and interpretation, an alternative solution for improved ion detection, including hydrophobic constituents, data processing and statistical analysis is being considered in up-to-date profiling pattern. In conclusion, many reports involving MALDI-TOF MS indicated highly abundant proteins as valuable indicators, and at the same time showed the inaccuracy of available methods in the detection of low abundant proteome that is the most interesting from the clinical perspective. Therefore, the analytical aspects of sample preparation methods should be standardized to provide a reproducible, low sample handling and credible procedure.

Abstract
Whole saliva (WS) was used for diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); two polypeptides may be used for OSCC diagnosis. Saliva diagnostics utilizing nanotechnology and molecular technologies to detect oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has become an attractive field of study. However, no specific methods have been established. To refine the diagnostic power of saliva peptide fingerprints for the early detection of OSCC, we screened the expression spectrum of salivary peptides in 40 T1 stage OSCC patients (and healthy controls) using MALDI-TOF-MS combined with magnetic beads. Fifty proteins showed significantly different expression levels in the OSCC samples (P<0.05). Potential biomarkers were also predicted. The novel diagnostic proteomic model with m/z peaks of 1285.6 Da and 1432.2 Da are of certain value for early diagnosis of OSCC.
