Proteomics analysis of immune response-related proteins in Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP).

The objective is to characterize differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) through high-throughput analysis. Sera from 11 healthy controls (HCs), 21 GBS and 19 CIDP patients were subjected to Olink Proteomics Analysis. In the comparison between CIDP and GBS groups, up-regulation of ITM2A and down-regulation of NTF4 were observed. Comparing GBS with HCs revealed 18 up-regulated and 4 down-regulated proteins. Comparing CIDP with the HCs identified 15 up-regulated and 4 down-regulated proteins. Additionally, the correlation between clinical characteristics and DEPs were uncovered. In conclusion, the DEPs have significant potential to advance our understanding of the pathogenesis in these debilitating neurological disorders.
