There are currently no diagnostic indicators that are consistently reliable, obtainable, and conclusive for diagnosing and risk-stratifying pancreatic cysts. Proteomic analyses were performed to explore pancreatic cyst fluids to yield effective diagnostic biomarkers. We have prospectively recruited 20 research participants and prepared their pancreatic cyst fluids specifically for proteomic analyses. Proteomic approaches applied were: 1) MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser-desorption-ionization time-of-flight) mass spectrometry peptidomics with LC/MS/MS (HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry) protein identification. 2) 2D gel electrophoresis. 3) GeLC/MS/MS (tryptic digestion of proteins fractionated by SDS-PAGE and identified by LC/MS/MS). Sequencing of over 350 free peptides showed that exopeptidase activities rendered peptidomics of cyst fluids unreliable; Protein nicking by proteases in the cyst fluids produced hundreds of protein spots from the major proteins, making 2D gel proteomics unmanageable; GeLC/MS/MS revealed a panel of potential biomarker proteins that correlated with CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen). Two homologs of amylase, solubilized molecules of four mucins, four solubilized CEACAMs (CEA-related cell adhesion molecules), and four S100 homologs, may be candidate biomarkers to facilitate future pancreatic cyst diagnosis and risk-stratification. This approach required less than 40 microliters of cyst fluid per sample, offering the possibility to analyze cysts smaller than 1 cm diameter.
