Abstract:Objective: To identify and screen serum markers in different stages of vitiligo by 2 proteomic techniques, and to explore their relationship network.Methods: Serum samples were collected from 15 patients with vitiligo in stable stage, 15 patients with vitiligo in progressive stage, and 15 healthy individuals. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) were used to detect and label all samples. Differential proteins were screened, and the relationship of pathways was analyzed by software.Results: A total of 10 differential proteins were identified by 2-DE in patients with stable vitiligo, including 6 up-regulated and 4 down-regulated proteins; 25 differential proteins were identified in patients with progressive vitiligo, including 11 up-regulated and 14 down-regulated proteins. Six-two differential proteins (29 up-regulated and 33 down-regulated) in stable patients, and 50 differential proteins (30 up-regulated and 20 down-regulated) in advanced patients were identified by iTRAQ. The same differential proteins identified by the two proteomics include α-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4, complement C4-A (up-regulated) at the stable stage of vitiligo, and complement C4-B, apolipoprotein A (down-regulated) and α-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4 (up-regulated) at the advanced stage of vitiligo. According to GO annotation, the main pathways involved in the differential proteins were CCKR, plasminogen activator, p53, chemokine regulatory pathways, etc.Conclusions: The differentially expressed proteins in different stages of vitiligo could be screened by proteomic methods of both 2-DE and iTRAQ technology, which provided a foundation for further study of the pathogenesis of vitiligo.
