Overview
Cardiovascular proteomics is the systematic study of the proteins expressed in the heart, blood vessels and circulating plasma, characterising their abundance, post-translational modifications and interactions to understand cardiovascular physiology and disease. By profiling the protein complement of cardiac and vascular tissue and of biofluids, it seeks biomarkers for diagnosis, risk stratification and treatment monitoring, and elucidates the molecular pathways underlying conditions such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart failure and ischaemic injury. Methodologically it relies on mass-spectrometry-based discovery and quantification, including ion-current-based and metabolic-labelling strategies, integrated with bioinformatic and genomic analysis to link proteins to genetic variants and pathways. Research relevant to this area includes bioinformatic analysis of coronary-disease-associated SNPs and genes to identify proteins implicated in atherosclerosis pathogenesis; methods for discovery and quantification in mass-spectrometry-based proteomics; quantitative proteomics using a 15N SILAC mouse; the proteomic response to targeted pharmacological treatment; assessment of the Human Proteome Project in disease diagnosis; reviews of molecular biomarkers; and integrated proteomic and genomic techniques for diagnostics and personalised medicine. Foundational work on proteome coverage from single proteins to whole-body analysis supports these efforts. The field connects proteomics, cardiology and bioinformatics to translate protein-level measurements into mechanistic insight and clinically actionable markers for cardiovascular disease.
