Plasma samples from pediatric cardiac patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures were used to identify and characterize patterns of changes in potential biomarkers related to tissue damage and inflammation. These included proteins associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Potential biomarkers were identified using a dual-platform proteomics approach requiring approximately 150 microL of plasma, which included two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and a multiplexed immunoassay. Methods used in the dual approach measured levels of 129 proteins in plasma from pediatric CPB patients. Of these, 70 proteins changed significantly (p<0.05) between time points, and 36 of these retained significance after the highly stringent Bonferroni correction [p<0.001 for 2D-DIGE and p<0.00056 for multianalyte profile (MAP) assays]. Many of the changing proteins were associated with tissue damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress. This study uses a novel approach that combines two discovery proteomics techniques to identify a pattern of potential biomarkers changing after CPB. This approach required only 150 microL of plasma per time point and provided quantitative information on 129 proteins. The changes in levels of expression of these proteins may provide insight into the understanding, treatment, and prevention of systemic inflammation, thereby helping to improve the outcomes of pediatric CPB patients.

Background: Major surgery triggers trauma-like stress responses linked to age, surgery duration, and blood loss, resembling polytrauma. This similarity suggests elective surgery as a surrogate model for studying polytrauma immune responses. We investigated stress responses across age groups and compared them with those of polytrauma patients.

The peritoneal fluid (ascites), replete with abundant tumor-promoting factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs) reflecting the tumor secretome, plays an essential role in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) metastasis and immune suppression. A comprehensive picture of mediators impacting HGSC progression is, however, not available. Proteins in ascites from HGSC patients were quantified by the aptamer-based SOMAscan affinity proteomic platform.

Unlabelled: The Wickerhamomyces ciferrii strain NRRL Y-1031 F-60-10A is a well-known producer of tetraacetylphytosphingosine (TAPS) and used for the biotechnological production of sphingolipids and ceramides. It was our aim to gain new biological insights into the sphingolipid metabolism by employing a dual platform mass spectrometry strategy. The first step comprised metabolic (15)N-labeling in combination with label-free proteomics using high resolution LTQ Orbitrap mass spectrometry.

This study was designed to investigate the expression kinetics and patterns of plasma biomarkers throughout the pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedure to help predict those patients most at risk for complications. This study sampled plasma from pediatric CPB patients at five time points before, during, and after CPB. A dual-platform proteomics approach was then utilized which incorporated two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight/time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry, and multi-analyte profile (MAP) assays to identify changes in expression of plasma protein biomarkers and characterize the patterns of these changes.

Article Synopsis
- The study reveals that peripheral blood monocytes and macrophages can clear hemoglobin (Hb) through the CD163 receptor, which is crucial for tissue health and healing.
- Using advanced mass spectrometry techniques, researchers identified and quantified 3691 proteins in macrophages, marking the largest human macrophage proteome documented.
- They found that Hb exposure changes macrophage characteristics, promoting a pathway that increases their ability to clear Hb and their antioxidant capacity, while decreasing their ability to present antigens, suggesting these changes are vital in healing damaged tissues and related conditions.
