Crohn Disease ( CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC)
both generally known as Inflammatory Bowel
Disease (IBD) are chronic autoimmune inflammatory
pathologies affecting the gastro intestinal
tract. Their ethiopathogenesis has not been fully
elucidated and involve a complex interplay among
genetic, environmental, pathogenic and immune
factors. The still growing knowledge in the
ethiology of these disorders gave rise to new
promising treatments. Nevertheless, the success
of those drugs are cases dependent CD or UC.
Therefore, accurate and early diagnosis is a real
important step in circumventing these
pathologies. Today, clinical diagnosis are made
on many biological data such as CRP, ASCA, ANCA
determinations, according to severity of symptoms
( recorded in Harvey-Bradshow test) or with
invasive techniques as gastro-endoscopies. No
simple, rapid, unique and efficient technique is
able to discriminate IBD from other inflammatory
diseases (as infectious colitis) or among IBD
itself CD versus UC. Here, we present a strategy
of sera protein profiling on SELDI-TOF ( Surface
Enhanced Laser Desorption-Ionization, Time of
Flight Mass Spectrometry ) and the downstream
statistical analysis.
Methods Protein profiling by SELDI-TOF-MS
(Surface Enhanced Lazer Desorption Ionisation
-Time Of Flight - Mass Spectrometry)
Different types of surfaces interactions Ion
exchange, hydrophobe, normal phase, IMAC,
(affinity antibody capture)
Sera sample loadded on chip in specific
conditions ( pH, salinity, detergent)
Washing steps discarding unbonded material
Addition of energy absorbing molecule, EAM
To discover powerful biomarkers able to
discriminate sera of patients suffering from
CROHN disease CD, from patients UC (Ulcero
Hemoragic Recto Colitis) or sera from IBD
patients (CD and UC) from other inflammatory
diseases (IC) and healthy controls (HC).

based on calculations of Decision Trees (unique
or multiple) by different statistical
approches (Geurts et al., 2004) Note
Calculations are made on 2 sets of data

PERSPECTIVES
m/z Values peaks proteins are not so
powerful in discriminating taken independently.
All together combined in  models , they are a
lot more efficient and discrimination of samples
is obtained with good scores of specificity and
sensitivity. Combination of the 2 models
corresponding to the 2 surfaces Q10 and CM10
would may be increase specificity and sensitivity
