Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a serious cardiovascular disease associated with chronic inflammation. The purpose of this study was to use the Olink proteomics to reveal serum inflammatory markers in AAA. We examined the expression levels of 92 inflammation-related proteins in patients with AAA (n = 18) and healthy individuals (n = 10) using the Olink proximity extension assay (PEA) inflammatory plate. Olink proteomics identified 38 differential proteins. Combined analysis of Olink proteomics and GSE183464 showed interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 9 (TNFRSF9) were upregulated at both gene and protein levels in AAA patients. The ELISA results were consistent with the Olink proteomics results, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the binding of TNFRSF9 and IL-6 has high diagnostic value (Olink AUC = 0.9056; ELISA AUC = 0.950). Subsequently, elevated TNFRSF9 expression in AAA was confirmed by animal models, suggesting that TNFRSF9 may serve as a potential biomarker for AAA.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
