Abstract

Introduction

New sampling techniques to analyse lung diseases, such as exhaled breath condensate (EBC), are a breakthrough in research field since they are less invasive and less traumatic for the patients compared to lung biopsies. Nevertheless, there is an increasing need to optimize not only the sampling protocols but the storage and processing of specimens to get accurate results.

Methods

Exhaled breath condensate was sampled employing the ECoScreen device. Concentrated protein was obtained after ultracentrifugation, lyophilization and reversed-phase chromatography. MALDI-time of flight (TOF)/TOF mass spectrometry (MS) was applied to determine the protein profile in EBC. Commercially available ELISA kits were used to detect the selected biomarker in the EBC after MALDI-MS proteins identification.

Results

The obtained EBC volume after two periods of 10 min doubled the amount obtained after 20 min. One hundred peptides were detected by MALDI-MS, and 18 proteins were identified after reversed-phase chromatography concentration. Dermcidin (P81605), S100A9 (P06702) and Cathepsin G (P08311) were selected to be analysed by ELISA. Dermcidin and S100A9 expression were statistically higher in lung cancer versus healthy volunteers. VEGF concentrations decreased, respectively, by 5.94 and 11.42-fold after 1 and 2 years of frozen EBC preservation in parallel with the declined number of proteins identified by MALDI-MS.

Conclusion

Exhaled breath condensate analysis combined with MS technique may become a valuable method for lung cancer screening and Dermcidin and S100A9 may serve as biomarkers for lung cancer diagnosis or prognosis.
