    Abstract Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is one of the best characterized autoimmune diseases. Autoantibodies (AABs) against platelet antigens are considered as the diagnostic hallmark of ITP, but are detectable in only 50% of patients. We designed and applied a novel proteomic approach termed Mass Spectroscopy-based Antibody-Mediated Identification of Autoantigens (MS-AMIDA) for platelet antigens. Patients were separated into patients with classical AABs [ITP(+)] and patients without AABs [ITP(−)]. Altogether, 181 potential AAGs were found in ITP(+) and 135 AAGs in ITP(−), with 34 and 23 AAGs reproducibly found in two runs of MS-AMIDA. After subtracting identifiers from the controls, 57 AAGs in ITP(+) and 29 AAGs in ITP(+) remained, with 16 AAGs commonly found in ITP(+) and ITP(−) patients. Label-free quantification (LFQ) revealed 15 potential AAGs that are quantitatively stronger in ITP. Dot blot validation was performed on hexokinase 1 (HK1), E1 pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1-PDH), coagulation factor XIII, filamin A (FLNA), non-muscle myosin 9. Eleven patients were found to have anti-HK1 AABs, one patient had anti-E1-PDH AABs, and two patients had anti-FLNA AABs. Most antigens were of intracellular origin with significant association with actin-cytoskeleton and regulation of programmed cell death. In conclusion, novel AAGs for ITP were identified using MS-AMIDA.

    Abstract Objectives. Most developmental processes are under the control of small regulatory RNAs called microRNAs (miRNAs). We hypothesize that different fetal developmental processes might be reflected by extracellular miRNAs in maternal plasma and may be utilized as biomarkers for the noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal aneuploidies. In this proof-of-concept study, we report on the identification of extracellular miRNAs in maternal plasma of Down syndrome (DS) pregnancies. Methods. Using high-throughput quantitative PCR (HT-qPCR), 1043 miRNAs were investigated in maternal plasma via comparison of seven DS pregnancies with age and fetal sex matched controls. Results. Six hundred and ninety-five miRNAs were identified. Thirty-six significantly differentially expressed mature miRNAs were identified as potential biomarkers. Hierarchical cluster analysis of these miRNAs resulted in the clear discrimination of DS from euploid pregnancies. Gene targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs were enriched in signaling pathways such as mucin type-O-glycans, ECM-receptor interactions, TGF-beta, and endocytosis, which have been previously associated with DS. Conclusions. miRNAs are promising and stable biomarkers for a broad range of diseases and may allow a reliable, cost-efficient diagnostic tool for the noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of DS.
