description | Establishing proteomic biomarkers is critical for characterizing disease pathophysiology, identifying genetic risk factors, and predicting clinical outcomes. However, diseases like cervical spondylomyelopathy have not been actively characterized for molecular significance, leading to questions regarding the pathology’s molecular mechanisms. Namely, spondylomyelopathy is a degenerative spinal disease that leads to compression and neurologic deficits in the spinal cord. Analyzing a patient’s cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been well-known for revealing biomarkers that are associated with diseases of the central nervous system. Therefore, in this review, we will formulate a proteomic profile of spondylomyelopathy through a molecular analysis of the CSF. The proteins found to be upregulated in the CSF include vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP), gelsolin, creatine kinase B-type (CK-BB), and angiotensinogen. Meanwhile, the proteins that were downregulated include pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), prostaglandin-H2 D-isomerase (PGH2), apolipoprotein E (APOE), and clusterin. The cellular functions of these proteins are discussed, along with their relevance in manifesting spondylomyelopathy. However, further studies are warranted, as a lack of human studies is a major limiting factor. Nevertheless, based on the continued progression of the proteomic profile of spondylomyelopathy, new targets can be assessed as candidates for future therapeutic intervention. |
