description Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the most common clinical allergic diseases. Early diagnosis and medical intervention will benefit patients with allergic rhinitis. In this study, we focused on changes in urine proteomics in AR patients to investigate their potential clinical utility in AR diagnosis and evaluation. Material and methods: TMT-labeled mass spectrometry-based proteomics was carried out to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in urine between allergic rhinitis patients and normal control groups. The molecular biological role of DEPs was investigated by Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. Results: Enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed proteins were mainly related to cell-cell adhesion, complement and coagulation cascades, peptidase activity regulation, MAP kinase activity, etc. Compared with the NC group, HLA-DRB1, WFDC12, and DEFA4, among the top ten up-regulated proteins in the urine of the AR group, were related to the biological process of the humoral immune response. Among the top 10 down-regulated proteins, GUSB, SQSTM1, and KIT are related to protein domain-specific binding in terms of molecular function. Conclusions: We found differential protein changes between AR patients and normal subjects may be related to the pathophysiological changes of AR, which provides the possibility for further exploration of urinary proteomics biomarkers in the future.
