Serum differential proteomic analysis of endometriosis and adenomyosis by iTRAQ technique

摘要

Objective(s): Adenomyosis and endometriosis are two different diseases, although they have similar pathogenesis and characteristic. The serum differential expressed proteins in adenomyosis and endometriosis may result from the different pathogenesis of two diseases. Proteomic technology is a useful method for detecting all the proteins in samples. We try to use isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) technology to explore the association between the potential pathogenesis of these two diseases and these identified proteins.
