Abstract

Purpose : Epilepsy affects more than 0.5% of the world's population. It has a large genetic component and is caused by electrical hyperexcitability in the central nervous system. Despite its prevalence, the disease lacks definitive diagnostic serological biomarkers. To identify potential biomarkers for epilepsy by a convenient method, we analyzed the expression of serum proteins, reflecting alterations in the patient's proteomes. Methods : We compared two-dimensional electrophoretic band patterns of human sera from eight patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) with those of eight control subjects. The differentially expressed bands were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. esults : Twelve proteins were differentially expressed in the TLE group, of which 6 were identified. Expression of haptoglobin Hp2, PRO2675, immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region gamma 2, an unnamed protein, and three unidentified proteins were upregulated in serum from the patients with TLE, whereas those of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigen, plasma retinol-binding protein precursor, and three unidentified proteins were downregulated in these patients. After resection of the epileptogenic zone, the expressions of MHC class I antigen, immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region gamma 2, two of the downregulated unidentified proteins, and one of the upregulated unidentified proteins returned to the normal range. Conclusion : The 12 serum proteins in this study are potentially useful biomarkers for the diagnosis and monitoring of TLE.

목적 : 간질은 전세계인구의 0.5%에서 발병하며 유전적 성향이 많고, 이는 중추신경계의 과 흥분성에 기인한다고 알려져 있다. 최근 프로테오믹스기법의 발달로 질병관련 단백질 동정이 활발히 연구되어지고 있다. 더불어, 간질의 진단은 영상기법 및 뇌파 분석 등이 이용되고 있으나, 가장 손쉽고 경제적인 혈청단백질을 이용한 진단법은 확립되어 있지 못하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 측두엽 간질환자의 혈장 단백질을 분석하여 간질의 진단 표지단백질 및 질병관련단백질을 발굴하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 저자들은 8명의 측두엽 간질환자와 8명의 정상인 혈청을 비교하였다. 결 과 : 간질환자의 혈청에서 정상 혈청단백질과 유의하고 일관성 있는 차이를 보이는 12개의 단백질을 발견하였다. 그 중, 6개의 단백질을 동정하였고, 6개의 단백질은 동정하지 못하였다. 더불어, haptoglobin Hp2, PRO2675, immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region gamma 2와 1개의 명명되지 않은 단백질 및 3개의 미지의 단백질을 포함한 7개의 단백질은 간질환자의 혈액에서 증가하였다. 반면, MHC class I antigen, plasma retinol-binding protein precursor 및 3개의 미지의 단백질을 포함한 5개의 단백질은 감소하였다. 결 론 : MHC class I antigen, immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region gamma 2 및 수술 전에 증가하였던 3개의 미지의 단백질 중에서 1개, 감소하였던 3개의 미지의 단백질 중에서 2개를 포함한 모두 5개의 단백질은 간질을 일으키는 뇌 부위 절제 후 정상으로 회복되었다. 이는 이런 단백질들을 측두엽 간질의 진단 및 경과관찰인자로서, 활용할 수 있음을 시사한다. 나아가, 이러한 단백질들은 간질의 병태 생리 연구 및 새로운 치료약물개발의 표적 단백질로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
