Materials and Methods: Blood from breast cancer patients was collected before and 4, 8, 24 and 48 hours after docetaxel infusion. The protein expression profile was determined by a SELDI TOF-MS system. The relative expression levels of target proteins were compared during the time-course after docetaxel injection. Results: We identified two representative proteins with molecular weights of 7790 Da and 9285 Da. The 7790 Da protein was high molecular weight kininogen, and the 9285 Da protein was apolipoprotein A-II. These two proteins had similar expression patterns in 5 patients, except one patient who experienced severe, acute, adverse effects. Conclusion: These results suggest that protein expression profiles determined by SELDI TOF-MS represent useful data for the identification of treatment-responsive proteins.
