The host response to trauma and burns is a highly complex biological and pathological process that depends critically upon the regulation of the human immuno-inflammatory response. Scientists whom are part of the large-scale High-Throughput for Trauma Research with the Inflammation and the Host Response to Injury Consortium project team at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and collaborating institutions are applying high-throughput biological discovery tools to identify important dynamic relationships that regulate this response, with the expectation that this knowledge will ultimately impact the treatment of trauma and burn patients. We are developing a high-throughput liquid chromatography-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (LC-FTICR) approach that will facilitate >1600 LC-MS longitudinal proteomic analyses of enriched subpopulations of blood leukocytes and blood plasma from trauma and burn patients per year on a dedicated instrument. We also are investigating transient post-translational protein modifications in relevant proteins to provide additional information on critical participants in the signal transduction pathways and networks.
