Popis: OBJECTIVE To investigate changes in the level of protein in serum and uncover the underlying pathogenesis of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) associated with copper intrauterine devices (Cu IUD). METHODS Protein profiles were investigated via tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics and bioinformatics technology. Quantification and characterization of candidate proteins were further performed in 33 controls and 45 cases by Luminex assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS In total, 842 proteins were identified via TMT coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in the serum of individuals with IUDs. Among them, 25 differentially expressed proteins (p
