Background Existing proteomic studies have primarily focused on gout flares or symptomatic hyperuricaemia, and few have comprehensively investigated circulating proteomic profiles in serum urate (SU) concentration as a continuous quantitative trait. This cross-sectional study investigated the association between SU concentration and serum proteomic profiles. Methods We enrolled 176 Japanese individuals aged ≥50 years and measured serum proteins using the Olink Explore 3072. To analyse the association between SU concentration and serum proteins, we applied linear regression adjusting for age, sex, renal function and insulin resistance with a false discovery rate threshold of 5%. Tissue-specific and gene set enrichment analyses were conducted based on the regression results. Results A total of 2886 proteins were analysed, among whom 63 showed significant associations with SU concentration; uromodulin demonstrated the strongest association (adjusted p=2.21×10⁻⁵). These 63 SU-associated proteins were significantly enriched in the liver, kidneys and duodenum by tissue-specific enrichment analysis. We further examined p.Q141K—a dysfunctional variant of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2). Among p.Q141K minor allele carriers (n=91), 11 SU-associated proteins were identified, whereas no significant SU-associated proteins were detected in wild-type homozygotes (n=85). Gene set enrichment analysis highlighted xenobiotic metabolism in wild-types and additional inflammation- and disease-related gene sets in minor allele carriers. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report a proteomic signature of SU concentration. These findings suggest that SU-associated proteomic signatures vary according to ABCG2 genotypes, highlighting the genetic contribution to pathophysiological processes associated with SU concentration variation. Trial registration number NCT00262691.

The 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) is widely used to assess health-related quality of life. However, only few studies have examined longitudinal SF-36 trajectories in general populations, and even fewer have explored their relationships with lifestyle factors, including sleep quality. We conducted a longitudinal analysis of SF-36 subscale trajectories among 910 Japanese individuals aged ≥ 60 years from 2007 to 2018 (4,799 records). Using latent class mixed models, we identified distinct trajectory patterns for each subscale. Notably, the role-physical (RP) and role-emotional (RE) subscales exhibited multiple patterns, including rapid decline and non-decline trajectories. We further examined predictors that differentiated between these two trajectory patterns—rapid decline and non-decline—with similar baseline scores. Consequently, poor performance on the open-eye one-leg standing test and higher depression scores on the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale predicted RP and RE declines, respectively. Importantly, poor sleep quality, as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index—particularly the total score and component 7 (daytime dysfunction)—was associated with subsequent RP and RE declines. In contrast, sleep timing variables (bedtime, sleep onset, and wake-up time) were not predictive. These findings suggest that preserving good sleep quality may help prevent future limitations in daily physical and emotional roles.

Many biobanks store biological samples and use them for various analyses, including proteomics. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the denaturation of target proteins during long-term storage. We analyzed 16-year-old cryopreserved serum samples using the SomaScan platform, a novel proteomic assay, to determine whether adiponectin and resistin concentrations were consistent with those measured in our previous studies using a different platform. The results suggested that long-term cryopreserved serum samples could be used for future studies of at least adiponectin and resistin, which are closely related to the pathophysiology of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other metabolic diseases. Therefore, 7,289 SomaScan-assayed circulating proteins were compared between 20 men and 20 women aged ≥ 50 to determine sex differences. In total, 20 serum proteins showed significant sex differences. Of these, proteins that showed a more than two-fold difference in concentration between sexes contained heterodimeric forms of gonadotropic proteins such as CGA|FSHB, CGA|CGB3|CGB7, and CGA|LHB, which are the biologically active forms of these hormones. The present study is the first to report the possibility of using long-term cryopreserved serum samples for the SomaScan assay, and the results show that the SomaScan assay may be useful for analyzing sex differences focusing on gonadotropic hormones.
