Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) is a devastating cerebrovascular disorder, which could benefit from collateral circulation. Proteins associated with acute LVO pathogenesis and endothelial function may appear in blood samples of AIS patients due to LVO, thus permitting development of blood-based biomarkers for its diagnosis and prognosis. Methods This study is a single-center, retrospective, observational case–control trial. Consecutive patients who presented at the Department of Neurology of Tongji Hospital were recruited from July 2016 to April 2018. In the discovery phase, a proteomic approach with iTRAQ-based LC–MS/MS was used to investigate the altered proteomic pattern in plasma from patients with AIS due to LVO. In the validation study, Western blots was used to identify biomarkers associated with stroke diagnosis as well as their prognostic value associated with different collateral statuses. Results For this exploratory study, the proteomic analysis of plasma from 40 patients with AIS due to LVO and 20 healthy controls revealed seven differentially expressed proteins with a 1.2/0.83-fold or greater difference between groups. The four elevated proteins, PPBP (1.58 ± 0.78 vs 0.98 ± 0.37; P 〈 0.001), THBS1 (1.13 ± 0.88 vs 0.43 ± 0.26; P 〈 0.001), LYVE1 (1.61 ± 0.55 vs 0.97 ± 0.50; P 〈 0.001), and IGF2 (1.19 ± 0.42 vs 0.86 ± 0.24; P 〈 0.001), were verified by Western blots analysis in an independent cohort including 33 patients and 33 controls. A strong interaction was observed between the four-protein panel and the diagnosis of AIS due to LVO (AUC 0.947; P 〈 0.001). Furthermore, IGF2, LYVE1, and THBS1 were closely associated with collateral status (IGF2 0.115, 95% CI 0.016–0.841, P = 0.033; LYVE1 0.183, 95% CI 0.036–0.918, P = 0.039; THBS1 4.257, 95% CI 1.273–14.228, P = 0.019), and proved to be independent predictors of good outcome (IGF2 0.115, 95% CI 0.015–0.866, P = 0.036; LYVE1 0.028, 95% CI 0.002–0.334, P = 0.005; THBS1 3.294, 95% CI 1.158–9.372, P = 0.025) at a 3-month follow-up. Conclusions The identified 4-biomarker panel could provide diagnostic aid to the existing imaging modalities for AIS due to LVO, and the prognostic value of IGF2, LYVE1, and THBS1 was proved in predicting functional outcomes related to collateral status.
