ABSTRACT: Background
The pathogenesis of connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) is unclear. This study aims to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in CTD-ILD to determine the potential role of these DEPs that may play in the pathogenesis of CTD-ILD and to offer potential therapeutic targets.Methods
Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples were collected from four patients with CTD-ILD and four patients without CTD-ILD. Label-free mass spectrometry-based relative quantification was used to identify the DEPs. Bioinformatics were used to determine the potential biological processes and signaling pathways associated with these DEPs.Results
We found 65 upregulated DEPs including SFTPD, CADM1, ACSL4, TSTD1, CD163, LUM, SIGLEC1, CPB2, TGFBI and HGD, and 67 downregulated DEPs including SGSH, WIPF1, SIL1, RAB20, OAS3, GMPR2, PLBD1, DNAJC3, RNASET2 and OAS2. The results of GO functional annotation for the DEPs showed that the DEPS were mainly enriched in the binding, cellular anatomical entity, cellular processes, and biological regulation GO terms. The results of KEGG analyses showed that the pathways most annotated with the DEPs were complement and coagulation cascades, metabolic pathways, pathways in cancer, and PPAR signaling pathway. COG analyses further informed the functions associated with these DEPs, with most focused on signal transduction mechanisms; posttranslational modification, protein turnover, chaperones; intracellular trafficking, secretion, and vesicular transport; amino acid transport and metabolism; and lipid transport and metabolism.Conclusions
DEPs identified between patients with vs. without CTD-ILD may play important roles in the development of CTD-ILD and are potential new biomarkers for early diagnosis of CTD-ILD.
