<strong>Proceedings</strong> of the 31 st European Peptide SymposiumMichal Lebl, Morten Meldal, Knud J. Jensen, Thomas Hoeg-Jensen (Editors)European Peptide Society, 2010Peptidomic Analysis of Human Blood Serum for SpecificDisease MarkersRustam H. Ziganshin, Georgii P. Arapidi, Igor V. Azarkin,Vadim M. Govorun, and Vadim T. IvanovDepartment of Proteomics, Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry,Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 117997, RussiaIntroductionBlood and its derivatives (plasma and serum) is very attractive for a biomarker studies dueto the unique properties of this liquid connective tissue, which <strong>com</strong>es into contact withpractically all cells in the organism absorbing some traces of their metabolic activity,including markers of disease-induced metabolic change [1]. Albumin, immunoglobulins,and other proteins that are present in blood in very high concentrations are known to bindto and transport various low-molecular <strong>com</strong>pounds, including small proteins and peptides[2]. As a result, these <strong>com</strong>pounds are protected from removal from the bloodstream bykidneys and can be accumulated in blood in considerable amounts. It has been suggestedthat this peptidome may serve as an important source of clinical diagnostic information [3].Results and DiscussionA simple and reproducible method of peptide desorption from abundant blood proteins wasdeveloped. This method increases the quantity of peptides detected in serum samples byMALDI-TOF MS and improves the quality and reproducibility of the recorded MSprofiles. Blood serum samples obtained from 39 patients with ovarian cancer, 42 patientswith colorectal cancer, 72 patients with syphilis and 200 healthy donors were fractionatedusing a profiling kit containing MB-WCX surface-functionalized magnetic beads (BrukerDaltonics, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s protocols, with small modifications.MALDI-TOF MS data of fractionated serum samples (Figure 1) were acquiredautomatically in a linear mode using ultraflex TM mass spectrometer (Bruker Daltonics,Germany). MS data analyses, classification models generation and validation were madeusing software for biomarker detection and evaluation – ClinProTools 2.1 (BrukerFig. 1.

The spectrum intensity and m/z values(Da) are plotted along the Y-axis and X-axis, respectively.276
