Proteomic analysis of whole blood to investigate the therapeutic effects of nervonic acid on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats by Qingqing Li, Fengrong Zhang, Xianyu Li, Qing Wang

“…The differential protein expression profile was analyzed using Liquid Chromatography—Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) whole blood proteomics.ResultsZZZGene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that, compared to ginkgo biloba extract (EGb), the proteins differentially expressed under NA intervention were predominantly involved in oxidative stress response and calcium-dependent adhesion processes. Key targets of NA in the treatment of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) models included ENO1, STAT3, NME2, VCL, and CCT3.DiscussionThis whole blood proteomic approach provides a comprehensive understanding of protein profiles associated with disease states, offering valuable insights into potential therapeutic targets and enabling the evaluation of NA and EGb intervention efficacy. …”
