Serum Concentration and Chemotactic Activity of E-selectin (CD62E) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease by B. Vainerc, O. H. Nielsen

“…E-selectin (CD62E) is an endothelial specific glycoprotein belonging to the selectin family of adhesion molecules. Because a high expression of this molecule at intestinal mucosal surfaces in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been described earlier, the aim was to assess serum levels of E-selectin (sE-selectin) and to correlate it to disease activity, and further to evaluate its chemotactic properties at physiological concentrations. …”

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. …”
