Multi-omic biomarker panel in pancreatic cyst fluid and serum predicts patients at a high risk of pancreatic cancer development.

Integration of multi-omic data for the purposes of biomarker discovery can provide novel and robust panels across multiple biological compartments. Appropriate analytical methods are key to ensuring accurate and meaningful outputs in the multi-omic setting. Here, we extensively profile the proteome and transcriptome of patient pancreatic cyst fluid (PCF) (n = 32) and serum (n = 68), before integrating matched omic and biofluid data, to identify biomarkers of pancreatic cancer risk.

Characterization of the Ubiquitin-Modified Proteome of Recombinant Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells in Response to Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress.

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells remain the most widely used host cell line for biotherapeutics production. Despite their widespread use, understanding endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress conditions in recombinant protein production remains limited, often creating bottlenecks preventing improved production titers and product quality. Ubiquitination not only targets substrates (e.

Label-free liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis of changes in broiler liver proteins under transport stress.

Transportation duration and distance are significant concerns for animal welfare, particularly in the poultry industry. However, limited proteomic studies have investigated the impact of transport duration on poultry welfare. In this study, mass spectrometry based bottom up proteomics was employed to sensitively and impartially profile the liver tissue proteome of chickens, addressing the issue of animal stress and welfare in response to transportation before slaughter.

Analytical Tools for HCP Detection, Identification, and Quantitation.

Identifying and quantifying host cell proteins (HCPs) are crucial in developing and manufacturing biopharmaceutical products. ELISA has been used widely for identifying and quantifying HCPs in biopharmaceutical products. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has recently emerged as an orthogonal tool for HCP analysis, providing comprehensive and quantitative information on individual HCPs.

LC-MS/MS Analysis to Study the Ubiquitin-Modified Proteome of Recombinant Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells.

Ubiquitination is one of the most important post-translational modifications (PTMs) and involves the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to a lysine residue on a target protein. Despite ubiquitination playing a crucial role in regulating cellular processes, the ubiquitinated proteome has not been studied extensively in recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Moreover, ubiquitination modification in CHO cells is likely to have an impact on protein function related to the efficient productivity of biopharmaceuticals.
