Plasma Proteomics-Based Discovery of Mechanistic Biomarkers of Hyperbaric Stress and Pulmonary Oxygen Toxicity
Our aim was to identify proteins that reflect an acute systemic response to prolonged hyperbaric stress and discover potential biomarker pathways for pulmonary O2 toxicity. The study was a double-blind, randomized, crossover design in trained male Navy diver subjects. Each subject completed two dry resting hyperbaric chamber dives separated by a minimum of one week. One dive exposed the subject to 6.5 h of 100% oxygen (O2) at 2ATA. The alternate dive exposed the subjects to an enhanced air nitrox mixture (EAN) containing 30.6% O2 at the same depth for the same duration. Venous blood samples collected before (PRE) and after (POST) each dive were prepared and submitted to LC-MS/MS analysis (2 h runs). A total of 346 total proteins were detected and analyzed. A total of 12 proteins were significantly increased at EANPOST (vs. EANPRE), including proteins in hemostasis and immune signaling and activation. Significantly increased proteins at O2PRE (vs. O2POST) included neural cell adhesion molecule 1, glycoprotein Ib, catalase, hemoglobin subunit beta, fibulin-like proteins, and complement proteins. EANPOST and O2POST differed in biomarkers related to coagulation, immune signaling and activation, and metabolism. Of particular interest is (EANPOST vs. O2POST), which is protective against oxidative stress.
