Diagnostic value of serum proteome characters analyzed by proteomic fingerprint technology in patients with inflammatory bowel disease / 中华消化杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the diagnostic model and clinical application value of serum proteomic fingerprint in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) .Methods Serum proteome profiles of 72 IBD patients (54 Crohn′s disease (CD) and 18 ulcerative colitis (UC) and 44 healthy controls were analyzed by the weak cation exchange (WCX) beads combined matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF‐MS ) technique . Among three groups , every two groups were compared .Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to screen out the peaks of difference expressed protein (P<0 .05) .Genetic algorithm combining with support vector machine (SVM ) was utilized to select the best diagnostic model .The predictive effects of this model was evaluated by leave one out method (LOO ) . Results The 10 most discriminating protein peaks were screened out between CD group and healthy control group , between UC group and healthy control group , between CD group and UC group . A diagnostic model established with four protein peaks ,the mass‐to‐charge ratio (M /Z ) of them was 3 275 .29 ,4 963 .91 ,4 980 .53 and 5 336 .90 ,could better distinguish CD and healthy controls .The specificity was 97 .7% ,and the sensitivity was 92 .6% in CD diagnosis .A diagnostic model established with four protein peaks ,the M /Z of them was 2 272 .41 ,2 660 .42 ,3 029 .77 and 5 002 .78 ,could better distinguish UC and healthy controls .The specificity was 100 .0% ,and the sensitivity was 94 .4% .A specificity was 50 .0% and sensitivity was 88 .9% in CD diagnosis with the diagnostic model of six protein peaks and the M /Z of them was 2 082 .63 ,2 210 .64 ,4 039 .02 ,4 298 .30 ,4 978 .03 ,5 002 .22 .Conclusion The diagnostic model of serum difference expressed protein in CD and UC is established by MALDI‐TOF‐MS technique and genetic algorithm combining with SVM ,which has high diagnostic value in IBD .
