Abstract

The therapeutic effect of Uighur prescription on abnormal Savda in asthma patients was evaluated using plasma proteomics in order to elucidate the biological mechanism and identify potential therapeutic targets of abnormal Savda. In the present study, 40 asthma patients with abnormal Savda including abnormal Savda Munziq and Savda Mushil were enrolled and treated with Uighur prescription. The effect of Uighur prescription on protein expression and potential targets was investigated by isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based proteomics and bioinformatics analysis. Expression of candidate proteins was verified by an enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay. Following treatment with the Uighur prescription, 22 proteins were differentially expressed in the plasma of patients with asthma and abnormal Savda. The majority of these proteins were localized in intermediate filaments and the cytoskeleton and acted as antioxidant enzymes and binding proteins. Furthermore, they participated in the defense and inflammatory response, and the response to oxidative stress and wound healing. Peroxiredoxin 2 and carboxypeptidase B2 expression was significantly upregulated, whereas S100A7 was considerably downregulated in the whole plasma of patients (all P<0.05) in accordance with the iTRAQ proteomics data. Uighur prescription of abnormal Savda may affect the whole regulatory network of protein expression that is altered following the development of abnormal Savda in patients with asthma.
