Abstract
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a significant clinical challenge, and its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Proteomic analyses of plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in patients with ARDS have been performed to uncover diagnostic and prognostic markers, although previous studies have not adequately focused on longitudinal comparison of biomarkers. This study aimed to elucidate the proteomic profiles of patients with ARDS in the acute and subacute phases to better understand the pathophysiological progression of ARDS.
Methods: This was a single-center, prospective, observational study of adult patients with ARDS in whom plasma and BALF samples were collected in the acute and subacute phases of ARDS and comprehensive proteins were identified and analyzed by mass spectrometry.
Results: Plasma and BALF were collected from 21 ARDS patients and plasma from 24 healthy donors, from which 694 plasma proteins and 2017 BALF proteins were analyzed. Processes related to coagulation and complement commonly activated in plasma and BALF were more pronounced in the acute phase than in the subacute phase. In BALF in the acute phase, pathways related to humoral and immune responses were activated, whereas processes related to chaperones and protein folding were suppressed. IPA analysis showed that B cell receptor signaling was most activated, whereas heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) chaperone cycle, protein folding, and other pathways associated with cellular stress responses and proper protein processing were suppressed. The most activated upstream regulator was interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and the most suppressed was notch receptor 1 (NOTCH1).
Conclusions: The proteomics of plasma and BALF from patients with ARDS were compared in both the acute and subacute phases. In BALF in the acute phase, humoral immunity, mainly B-cell receptor signaling, was activated, whereas the HSP90 cycle and protein folding mechanisms were inactivated.
期刊介绍：
"Journal of Intensive Care" is an open access journal dedicated to the comprehensive coverage of intensive care medicine, providing a platform for the latest research and clinical insights in this critical field. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including intensive and critical care, trauma and surgical intensive care, pediatric intensive care, acute and emergency medicine, perioperative medicine, resuscitation, infection control, and organ dysfunction.
Recognizing the importance of cultural diversity in healthcare practices, "Journal of Intensive Care" also encourages submissions that explore and discuss the cultural aspects of intensive care, aiming to promote a more inclusive and culturally sensitive approach to patient care. By fostering a global exchange of knowledge and expertise, the journal contributes to the continuous improvement of intensive care practices worldwide.
