Plasma Proteomics of Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and Co-Existing Diabetes/Hypertension in Thai Adults.

ABSTRACT: The study explored proteomics to better understand the relationship between type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and hypertension (HT) in Thai adults, using shotgun proteomics and bioinformatics analysis. Plasma samples were taken from 61 subjects: 14 healthy subjects (mean age = 40.85 ± 7.12), 13 with T2DM (mean age = 57.38 ± 6.03), 16 with HT (mean age = 66.87 ± 10.09), and 18 with coexisting T2DM/HT (mean age = 58.22 ± 10.65). Proteins were identified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Protein-protein interactions were analyzed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) version 11.5. We identified six unique proteins in T2DM patients, including translationally controlled 1 (TPT1) and nibrin (NBN), which are associated with the DNA dama
