Biliverdin, a heme metabolite, has been previously reported to alleviate cerebral ischemic reperfusion injury (CIRI). However, the alterations of brain proteome profiles underlying this treatment remain elusive. The objective of this study is to analyze the differential protein expression profile in cerebral cortex of rats involved in anti-CIRI effects of Biliverdin, providing experimental foundation for searching specific marker proteins. Rat model of MCAO/R was established, HE staining, TTC staining, TUNEL staining, and neurological behavioral examination, corner turning test, adhesive removal test, were performed to validate the effects of Biliverdin, and the results indicated that Biliverdin plays a significant role in alleviating CIRI. Furthermore, proteomic analysis of brain tissues of rats subjected to CIRI following Biliverdin treatment was performed using an integrated TMT-based quantitative proteomic approach coupled with LC-MS/MS technology to clarify the comprehensive mechanisms of Biliverdin in CIRI. First, we conducted strict quality control data for TMT experiments. Finally, a total of 7366 proteins were identified, of which 95 proteins were differentially expressed (DEPs) between the CIRI group and the Sham group and 52 between the CIRI and BV groups. In addition, two overlapping proteins among the 147 DEPs, Atg4c and Camlg, were validated by RT-qPCR and western blotting, and their levels were consistent with the results of TMT analysis. Taken together, the current findings firstly mapped comprehensive proteomic changes after CIRI treated with Biliverdin, providing a foundation for developing potentially therapeutic targets of anti-CIRI of Biliverdin and clinically prognostic biomarkers of stroke.
