| dc.description.abstract | The tobacco is one of the biggest public health threats, smoking kills more than 7 million people/year worldwide and more than 890,000 are deaths resulting from exposure to Second Hand Smoke (SHS). In adults, SHS is associated to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, including coronary heart disease and lung cancer, through pathological and molecular mechanisms not yet understood. We aimed to investigate the SHS effects on airway proteome in exposed workers. Nasal epithelium was collected from hospitality workers (non-smokers=40; smokers=12), long-term exposed and non-exposed to SHS at the workplace. Samples were analyzed by shotgun proteomics using an ESI-LQT Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer. The generated MS raw data was submitted to ‘PatternLab for Proteomics’ for peptide identification and relative quantification by label-free - extracted ion chromatograms (XIC). Golden rules were applied to obtain reliable data: in the identification of a protein at least one unique peptide must had to be present in more than 80% of the individuals, and consequently each inferred protein had to be detected in 80% to 100% of the cohort. Two proteins were found to be differentially expressed in the no-smokers exposed to SHS compared with the control: BPI fold-containing family A member 1 (BPIFA1) and Heat shock Protein Beta-1 (HSPB1). The first protein plays a role in the airway inflammatory response after exposure to irritants substances and the second is associated as a regulator of actin filament dynamics. Our findings support the indication that in non-smokers the prolonged exposure to SHS can lead to airway proteome modulation. When validated, the uncovered proteins can be promising candidates to “susceptibility/risk” and/or “predictive” biomarkers for SHS exposure. | pt_PT |
