Abstract
Clinical diagnostics and biomarker discovery are the major focuses of current clinical proteomics. In the present study, we applied microfluidic technology on a chip for proteome profiling of human urine from 31 normal healthy individuals (15 males and 16 females), 6 patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN), and 4 patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Using only 4 μL of untreated urine, automated separation of proteins/peptides was achieved, and 1-7 (3.8 ± 0.3) spectra/bands of urinary proteins/peptides were observed in the normal urine, whereas 8-16 (11.3 ± 1.2) and 9-14 (10.8 ± 1.2) spectra were observed in urine samples of DN and IgAN, respectively. Coefficient of variations of amplitudes of lower marker (1.2 kDa), system spectra (6-8 kDa), and upper marker (260.0 kDa) were 22.84, 24.92, and 32.65%, respectively. ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc multiple comparisons revealed 9 spectra of which amplitudes significantly differed between normal and DN urine (DN/normal amplitude ratios ranged from 2.9 to 3102.7). Moreover, the results also showed that 3 spectra (with molecular masses of 12-15, 27-28, and 34-35 kDa) were significantly different between DN and IgAN urine (DN/IgAN amplitude ratios ranged from 3.9 to 7.4). In addition to the spectral amplitudes, frequencies of some spectra could differentiate the normal from the diseased urine but could not distinguish between DN and IgAN. There was no significant difference, regarding the spectral amplitude or frequency, observed between males and females. These data indicate that the microfluidic chip technology is applicable for urinary proteome profiling with potential uses in clinical diagnostics and biomarker discovery. © 2007 American Chemical Society.
