摘要
Over the past 10 years, large amount of global efforts have been made to discover serum/plasma protein biomarkers by comparative proteomic analysis of blood circulating proteins. The most commonly used approach was the single-center case-control design. In case-control proteomic studies, quantitative profiles of serum/plasma proteins were first obtained in an untargeted manner, and then compared to identify the differences as individual potential biomarkers or a combination of differential features as diagnostic/prognostic disease-associated fingerprints. In spite of advantages of case-control design such as time-efficiency and cost-effectiveness, there are many pitfalls. Surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI) TOF mass spectrometry (MS) (or called ProteinChip SELDI technology) is the first highthroughput technology that allows comparison of plasma/serum proteome contents in a large number of subject samples within a short period of time. Using this technology, numerous case-control studies found serum/plasma proteomic fingerprints with over 90% accuracy in the diagnosis or prognosis of various diseases. However, criticisms and hesitations on this approach have been appearing all over the world. After accumulating more research experiences, researchers now have better understandings of characteristics and limitations of applying comparative proteomic analysis of blood circulating proteins to biomarker discovery. By using our MS-based biomarker discovery studies as examples, opportunities as well as biological and statistical concerns on applications of case-control comparative proteomic analysis to biomarker discovery will be discussed in this lecture. With rapid advancement of MS technologies and proper clinical study designs, discoveries of clinically useful biomarkers should be forthcoming.
