    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Although it is well known that myxomatous mitral valve disease stage B2 (MMVD stage B2) is predominantly characterized by ECM remodeling of the mitral valve, ECM-related proteomics alterations in plasma from dogs with this disease have yet to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the differentially expressed protein (DEP) associated with ECM are potential biomarkers of MMVD stage B2. METHODS: Tandem mass tag (TMT) quantitative proteomics analysis was performed to determine the DEPs in plasma samples from a discovery cohort (5 dogs with MMVD stage B2 and 3 healthy controls, poodle). Candidate proteins were identified using DEPs and ECM-related protein network analysis and confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and western blotting in a validation cohort (52 dogs with MMVD stage B2 and 56 healthy controls, multi-breed). The diagnostic potential of a candidate biomarker DEP was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS: A total of 90 DEPs were identified between healthy and MMVD stage B2 dogs, and of these 90 DEPs, 16 were ECM-related proteins. One ECM-related DEP, serpin family H member 1 (SERPINH1), was significantly overabundance at the protein level in MMVD stage B2 dog plasma, and SERPINH1 expression had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) value of 0.885 (95% CI = 0.814-0.956, P < 0.0001) that allowed discrimination of MMVD stage B2 dogs from healthy dogs. CONCLUSION: Plasma SERPINH1 has good predictive and diagnostic value at dog with MMVD stage B2, suggesting that SERPINH1 may be used as a biomarker for early prediction and diagnosis of stage B2 of MMVD. SIGNIFICANCE: MMVD is the most acquired cardiac disease in dogs. MMVD stage B2, is when the heart valve structure begins to change significantly but there are no clinical symptoms; it is a critical time during which to slow progression of the disease, so timely diagnosis is extremely important. This study suggests that plasma SERPINH1 levels might differentiate MMVD progression in dogs during the early stage. It is also the first study to consider SERPINH1 as a diagnostic biomarker in dogs with stage B2 MMVD. Another advantage is that dogs in the validation cohort were recruited from six breeds to reduce the impacts of breed factors and partly reflect the universality of SERPINH1 for diagnosing MMVD stage B2.
