Plasma Peptidome Pattern of Breast Cancer Using Magnetic Beads-Based Plasma Fractionation and MALDI-TOF MS: A Case Control Study in Egypt

Résumé

Objective: The present study aimed to determine peptidome patterns in breast cancer (BC). Methods: We analyzed the plasma proteomic profiling of 80 BC patients and 50 healthy controls, using hydrophobic interaction chromatography magnetic beads (MB-HIC8) separation followed by Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization/ time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Results: ClinProTools software identified 92 peaks that differed among the analyzed groups, 33 peaks were significantly different (P < 0.05). Of those, 22 peaks were up-regulated while 11 peaks were down-regulated in BC patients compared with the healthy controls. Three peptide ion signatures (m/z 1,570.31, 1,897.4 and 2,568.17) were provided by the Quick Classifier model to discriminate BC patients from healthy control subjects with 96.4% accuracy. External validation was performed by an independent group and this achieved a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 76.9%. Conclusion: MALDI-TOF MS has good analytical performance in distinguishing BC patients from healthy controls.
