Blood plasma is the most informative body fluid, containing large amounts of substances that are released by active secretion or leakage from tissues and cells. Therefore, plasma changes reflect the body state. To explore changes in plasma during the early life of Wistar-rats, the plasma proteomes of newborn and first-week rats were investigated using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 639 proteins were identified at both developmental stages and 570 proteins were used for quantitative analysis. The plasma of first-week rats, compared to that in newborn rats using label-free quantification, showed that the levels of 42 proteins significantly increased while those of 17 proteins decreased. Plasma proteomic patterns at both developmental stages can be easily separated using differential protein cluster analysis. Using the Ingenuity Pathway analysis tool, some pathways including LXR/RXR Activation, DHCR24 Signaling Pathway, Acute Phase Response Signaling, and Detoxification of Reactive Oxygen Species were significantly enhanced. Over 10 categories related to the development and functions were enriched. Plasma proteomes of first-week rats were distinct from those of newborn rats. These changes would make it easier for newborn rats to survive. This is the first study using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to investigate newborn rat plasma proteome changes, providing a basis and clues for studying animal development.

Maternal Inflammatory Proteins in Pregnancy and Neurodevelopmental Disorders at Age 10 Years.

Importance: Maternal inflammation during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, and cognitive deficits in early childhood. However, little is known about the contributions of a wider range of inflammatory proteins to this risk.
Objective: To determine whether maternal inflammatory proteins during pregnancy are associated with the risk of NDDs and executive functions (EF) in middle childhood and to identify protein patterns associated with NDDs and EF.
Circulating Blood-Based Proteins in Psychopathology and Cognition: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
JAMA Psychiatry

Institute of Behavioral Science, Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, Manhasset, New York.
Importance: Peripheral (blood-based) biomarkers for psychiatric illness could benefit diagnosis and treatment, but research to date has typically been low throughput, and traditional case-control studies are subject to potential confounds of treatment and other exposures. Large-scale 2-sample mendelian randomization (MR) can examine the potentially causal impact of circulating proteins on neuropsychiatric phenotypes without these confounds.
Objective: To identify circulating proteins associated with risk for schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BD), and major depressive disorder (MDD) as well as cognitive task performance (CTP).

: Rat sarcoma (Ras) proteins, Kirsten, Harvey, and Neuroblastoma rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS, HRAS, and NRAS, respectively), are a family of GTPases, which are key regulators of cellular growth, differentiation, and apoptosis through signal transduction pathways modulated by growth factors that have been recognized to be dysregulated in PCOS. This study explores Ras signaling proteins and growth factor-related proteins in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). : In a well-validated PCOS database of 147 PCOS and 97 control women, plasma was batch analyzed using Somascan proteomic analysis for circulating KRas, Ras GTPase-activating protein-1 (RASA1), and 45 growth factor-related proteins.

Background: Amniotic fluid (AF) plays a key role in fetal development, yet the evolving composition of AF and its effects on hemostasis and thrombosis are poorly understood.
Objectives: To characterize the procoagulant properties of AF as a function of gestation in humans and nonhuman primates.
Methods: We analyzed the proteomes, lipidomes, and procoagulant properties of AF obtained by amniocentesis from rhesus macaque and human pregnancies at gestational age-matched time points.
