ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To screen, identify, and compare the serum biomarkers between anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding (ADUB) and ovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding (ODUB) in Lizu females.@*METHODS@#The subjects included 128 ADUB patients, 63 ODUB patients, and 93 controls. The serum and supernate of the subjects' mense were collected and stored at -80 °C until use. Differential proteins in the sera of three groups were screened using surface-enhanced laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The screened proteins were then identified by tricine-SDS-PAGE gel and spectrometry. Protein expression levels in the menses of ADUB, ODUB, and control subjects were determined using ELISA, RT-PCR, and Western blotting. SPSS 14.1 was used for statistical analysis and chart drawing (α = 0.05).@*RESULTS@#Three differential protein peaks with peak values of 11.80, 13.59, and 14.68 km/z were screened and identified as serum amyploid protein A (SAA), vascular endothelial growth factor, and vitamin K epoxide reductase, respectively. The SAA was highly expressed in the menses of ADUB and ODUB patients but poorly expressed in the controls. The vascular endothelial growth factor was highly expressed in the menses of ODUB and controls but poorly expressed in ADUB patients. Meanwhile, the vitamin K epoxide reductase was highly expressed in the menses of ADUB and control subjects but poorly expressed in ODUB patients.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The SAA is the common serum biomarker of ADUB and ODUB. ADUB may be related to angiogenesis impairment, whereas ODUB may be associated with blood coagulation disruption.

ABSTRACT

Objective To screen and identify the serum biomarker of anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding (ADUB) , to determine the expression of biomarker protein in menses of ADUB pa-tients, and to investigate the relation between ADUB and the biomarker proteins. Methods Subjects included 128 ADUB patients and 93 age-matched controls( normal women ). Their serum and super-natant of mense were collected and stored for use at -80℃. The differential proteins in the serum of the 2 groups were detected by CM 10 and analyzed by Biomarker WizardTM3.2 software. Then, the differential proteins were identified by Trieine-SDS-PAGE gel separation, spectrometry identifica-tion, and immunoprecipitation. The expression of the protein identified above in the menses was test-ed by ELISA, RT-PCR, and Western blotting. SPSS 14.1 was applied for statistical analysis and chart drawing. Results Five differential protein peaks were screened and their peak values were 11.80, 13.59, 13.79, 13.85, and 14.20 km/z, respectively. The intensity of protein peak ( 11.80 km/z ) which was identified as serum amyploid protein A ( SAA ) of ADUB was significantly higher than that of the controls (P<0.05). While the intensity of protein peak (13.59 km/z) which was identified as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of ADUB was obviously lower than that of the controls (P<0.05). The intensity of protein peak 13.08, 13.85, and 14.20 was not different between the cases and controls. SAA expressed highly in the menses of ADUB but low in that of the controls. Conversely, VEGF expressed highly in the menses of the control but low in that of the ADUB. Conclusion Two biomarkers which might be related with ADUB have been correctly screened and identified as SAA and VEGF. It needs further study whether the increased expression of SAA and reduced expression of VEGF are the cause or result of ADUB.
