Bioinformatics analysis was subsequently performed to investigate Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enriched signaling pathways of these DEPs. Six proteins (AZU1, COX4I1, EDF1, KRT31, MMP12, and PRG2) were selected for further validation <jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic> enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared with BM group and N group, HBM group had a higher whole CSF protein level (5.6 \u00b1 2.7 vs. 1.7 \u00b1 1.0 vs. 1.2 \u00b1 0.5 g\/l) and lower whole CSF glucose level (0.8 \u00b1 0.6 vs. 1.8 \u00b1 0.7 vs. 3.3 \u00b1 0.8 mmol\/l) (both <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05). Over 300 DEPs were differentially expressed in HBM group compared with BM group and BM compared with N group, of which 78% were common to both. Cluster analysis indicated that the levels of 226 proteins were increased in BM group compared with N group and were decreased in HBM group compared with BM group. Bioinformatics analysis indicated the involvement of the cell adhesion, immune response and extracellular exosome signaling were significantly enriched in HBM compared with BM group and BM compared with N group. 267 DEPs were identified between HBM group with N group, KEGG analysis indicated that DEPs mainly involved in filament cytoskeleton and immune response.
