Abstract

Background. Rhinitis comprises several diseases with varying causes and different clinical manifestations and pathological features, but treated as a single clinical disorder. As heterogeneous disease, proper differential diagnosis is useful to delineate appropriate therapeutic intervention. Comparative proteomic investigation was aimed to provide information for specific differentially expressed proteins in rhino pathologic state, that could be used for diagnostic purpose and therapeutic monitoring. Methods. Proteins extracted from nasal mucosa cells of patients with different features of rhinitis and from control subjects, were separated by 2-DE. Proteins differentially expressed were identified by mass spectrometry (MS). Results. Comparative proteomic analyses led to the identification of eighteen proteins differentially expressed in patients with rhinitis, mainly related to cell defense and innate and acquired immunity. From that, at least one protein can be a possible candidate as biomarker of disease.
