In-depth proteome discovery analysis represents new strategy in an effort to identify novel reliable specific protein markers for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and other life threatening cardiovascular diseases. To systematically identify novel protein biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases with high mortality we employed an isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) proteome technology to make comparative analysis of plasma samples obtained from patients suffering from non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, stable dilated cardiomyopathy, aortic valve stenosis, chronic stable coronary artery disease and stable arterial hypertension. We found 128 plasma proteins whose abundances were uniquely regulated among the analyzed cardiovascular pathologies. 49 of them have not been described yet. Additionally, application of statistical exploratory analyses of the measured protein profiles indicated the relationship in pathophysiology of the examined cardiovascular pathologies.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy and in-time diagnosis is limited because of the absence of effective biomarkers. Germline BRCA1/2 genetic alterations are risk factors for hereditary OC; risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is pursued for disease prevention. However, not all healthy carriers develop the disease. Therefore, identifying predictive markers in the BRCA1/2 carrier population could help improve the identification of candidates for preventive RRSO. In this study, plasma samples from 20 OC patients (10 patients with BRCA1/2 wild type (wt) and 10 with the BRCA1/2 variant (var)) and 20 normal subjects (10 subjects with BRCA1/2wt and 10 with BRCA1/2var) were analyzed for potential biomarkers of hereditary OC. We applied a bottom-up proteomics approach, using nano-flow LC-MS to analyze depleted plasma proteome quantitatively, and potential plasma protein markers specific to the BRCA1/2 variant were identified from a comparative statistical analysis of the four groups. We obtained 1505 protein candidates from the 40 subjects, and SPARC and THBS1 were verified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Plasma SPARC and THBS1 concentrations in healthy BRCA1/2 carriers were found to be lower than in OC patients with BRCA1/2var. If plasma SPARC concentrations increase over 337.35 ng/ml or plasma THBS1 concentrations increase over 65.28 mg/ml in a healthy BRCA1/2 carrier, oophorectomy may be suggested.
