As such, identification of biomarkers of atopic asthma is of prime importance for better diagnosis and control of the disease.Objectives: We sought to study the changes in plasma proteome and cytokine-expression profile across healthy and atopic asthmatics for identifying biomarkers and exploring aberrant pathways for atopic asthma.Methods: A pilot-scale study in humans was performed to identify differentially expressed proteins in blood plasma of healthy controls (n=5) and treatment-naïve atopic asthma patients (n=5) using quantitative label-free liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry proteomics and ELISA.Results: Mass spectrometry–based proteomic analysis revealed ApoE to be significantly downregulated in atopic asthmatics compared to healthy volunteers. Decreased expression of ApoE in atopic asthmatics was validated by immunoblotting (50.74% decrease). Comparison with atopic asthmatics and COPD patients showed that ApoE was decreased (36.33%) in atopic asthma compared to COPD. IL33 was significantly upregulated in atopic asthmatics compared to healthy subjects (3.84-fold).Conclusion: ApoE was downregulated and IL33 upregulated in atopic asthma patients compared to healthy volunteers. These two proteins’ profiles were distinct in atopic asthma from healthy and COPD plasma samples. Differential expression of these proteins could serve as a probable candidate for a two-protein classifier–based prognostic biomarker of atopic asthma.Keywords: atopic asthma, LC-MS/MS, apolipoprotein E, ApoE, interleukin 33, IL33, biomarkers
