Quantitative proteomics reveals plasma protein profile and potential pathways in pulmonary tuberculosis patients with and without diabetes - 01/12/23
Abstract |
Background |
The coexistence of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) has emerged as a significant global public health concern. Patients with DM are at higher risk of developing PTB, and PTB is one of the important factors that exacerbate the development of DM. However, the impact of DM on the protein profile and underlying pathways in PTB patients is unclear.
Methods |
We systematically used data-independent acquisition (DIA)-based liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in plasma samples from PTB patients, DM combined with PTB patients, and healthy controls. Then these DEPs were analyzed by bioinformatics.
Results |
Our analysis identified 268 proteins, the results indicated that DEPs in the PTB group as well as in the DM-PTB group were mainly involved in immune responses, complement and coagulation cascade and cholesterol metabolic pathways compared to healthy controls.
Conclusions |
We analyzed the plasma protein profiles of PTB, DM-PTB, and HC groups using proteomics techniques and identified potential pathways for PTB patients with and without DM. This provides valuable clues to explore the impact of DM on PTB.
