    Abstract

    Objectives - We hypothesized that arterial stiffness is associated with changes in the arterial protein profile, particularly of extracellular matrix components. We aimed at determining differentially expressed proteins by quantitative proteome analysis in arterial tissue from patients with different degrees of arterial stiffness. Approach and Results - Arterial stiffness, assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), central blood pressure and augmentation index by pulse wave analysis were measured the day before surgery in a group of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Protein extracts of well-defined, homogenous, nonatherosclerotic individual samples of the left mammary artery from 10 of these patients with high PWV and 9 with low PWV were compared by quantitative proteome analysis, using tandem mass tag labeling and nano-liquid chromatography mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry. Of 418 quantified proteins, 28 were differentially expressed between the groups with high and low PWV (P<0.05). Three of 7 members of the extracellular matrix family of small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans displayed significant differences between the 2 groups (P=0.0079; Fisher exact test). Three other ECM proteins were differentially regulated, that is, collagen, type VIII, α-1 and α-2 and collagen, type IV, α-1. Several proteins related to smooth muscle cell function and structure were also found in different amounts between the 2 groups. Conclusions - Changes in the arterial amounts of small leucine-rich proteoglycans, known to be involved in collagen fibrillogenesis, and of some nonfibrillar collagens in combination with alterations in proteins related to functions of the human arterial smooth muscle are associated with arterial stiffness, as determined by PWV.
