Abstract
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a lethal, viral-induced immune-mediated disease that remains a challenge for diagnosis and treatment in cats. Proteomic profiling, which analyzes the protein content of biological samples, offers the potential to identify novel biomarkers that could improve the diagnosis and management of FIP. This study aims to assess the serum proteome and identify proteins that differentiate healthy cats from cats diagnosed with effusive FIP using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). A total of 30 cats diagnosed with effusive FIP and 27 clinically normal cats were enrolled. Twenty-three proteins were significantly (p < 0.01, ≥ fivefold change in abundance) differentially expressed between cats with effusive FIP and controls. Among these, the P2X purinoceptor, DNA topoisomerase, Notch receptor 2, and cadherin-17 were identified as key proteins of interest in cats with effusive FIP. Our findings suggest that these differentially expressed proteins could serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for FIP. However, further studies are needed to validate these findings and explore their potential applications.
