SP - 226 EP - 231 VL - 19 IS - 3 N2 - BACKGROUND: Identification of a peripheral biological marker might aid in identifying patients at high risk of attempting suicide and might help in effective early intervention.

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we extend the findings of our previous multidimensional pro-teomics study by examining the levels of plasma Apolipoprotein-AIV in patients diagnosed with major depression with and without suicidal ideation compared to age and gender-matched controls.

METHODS: Using the mass spectrometry platform, we quantified the levels of plasma Apolipopro-tein-AIV in patients with major depressive disorder with and without suicidal ideation compared to matched controls with isotope-labelled peptides-based quantitative proteomics approach.

RESULTS: The targeted quantitative proteomics approach with isotope-labelled peptides showed that plasma Apolipoprotein-AIV was significantly downregulated in depressed patients having suicidal ideation 1.45 (CI:1.11-1.90) compared to those without suicidal ideation 0.88 (CI:0.77-1.003).

CONCLUSION: These findings extend our earlier observation of downregulation of plasma Apolipo-protein-AIV in patients with suicidal attempts to depressed patients with suicidal ideation. The con-sistent downregulation of plasma Apolipoprotein-AIV observed in both the proteomics studies suggests Apolipoprotein-AIV might be a plasma-based biomarker for suicidal behaviour. © 2022 Bentham Science Publishers.
