It is necessary to identify biomarkers for early detection, to make accurate prognoses, and to monitor for any recurrence of the cancer. In order to identify potential breast cancer biomarkers, we analyzed the plasma samples of women diagnosed with breast cancer and age-matched normal healthy women by mTRAQ-based stable isotope-labeling mass spectrometry. We identified and quantified 204 proteins including thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) and bromodomain and WD repeat-containing protein 3 (BRWD3) which were increased by more than 5-fold in breast cancer plasma. The plasma levels of the two proteins were evaluated by Western blot assay to confirm for their diagnostic value as serum markers. A 1.8-fold increase in BRWD3 was observed while comparing the plasma levels of breast cancer patients (n = 54) with age-matched normal healthy controls (n = 30), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.917. THBS1 was detected in pooled breast cancer plasma at the ratio similar to mTRAQ ratio (>5-fold). The AUC value for THBS1 was 0.875. The increase of THBS1 was more prominent in estrogen receptor negative and progesterone receptor negative patients than receptor-positive patients. Our results are evidence of the diagnostic value of THBS1 in detecting breast cancer. Based on our findings, we suggest a proteomic method for protein identification and quantification lead to effective biomarker discovery.
