Compared to other subcellular organelles, centrosome proteome can hardly be studied, due to the difficulties in separation and purification of centrosome. Auto-antisera from 6 autoimmune patients, which recognized centrosome specifically in immunofluorescence, were used to identify the corresponding centrosomal proteins. The sera were first tested by Western blot on whole cell lysate, and all bound antibodies were then eluted from each single band in Western blot membrane to assure which antibody was responsible for the centrosome specific immunofluorescence staining. The corresponding proteins were obtained by immunoprecipitation and identified by mass spectrometry. Six centrosomal proteins, including 2 known centrosomal proteins and 4 proteins with unknown localization or reportedly non-centrosomal localization, were identified. These proteins apparently involve in cell cycle regulation, signal transduction pathways, molecular chaperons, and metabolism enzymes, which may reflect the expected functional diversity of centrosome.

In mammalian epithelial cells, cytoplasmic microtubules are mainly non-centrosomal, through the functions of the minus-end binding proteins CAMSAP2 and CAMSAP3. When cells enter mitosis, cytoplasmic microtubules are reorganized into the spindle composed of both centrosomal and non-centrosomal microtubules. The function of the CAMSAP proteins upon spindle assembly remains unknown, as these do not exhibit evident localization to spindle microtubules.

Esophageal cancer is a major malignancy with a high incidence and poor prognosis. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying its progression, particularly with respect to cell division and spindle orientation, we investigated the role of m6A modifications and the centrosomal protein CEP170. Using m6A-seq and RNA-seq of esophageal cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues, we identified significant alterations in m6A modifications and gene expression, highlighting the upregulation and m6A enrichment of CEP170 in tumor tissues.

Background: This study aims to investigate centrosomal protein 70 (CEP70) in prostate cancer and its effects on angiogenesis and tumour metastasis and elucidate its molecular mechanisms.
Methods: We evaluated CEP70 and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 (VEGFR2) in tissue samples from patients with prostate cancer by immunohistochemistry. experiments included overexpressing CEP70 through transfection and assessing its impact on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how efferocytosis-related molecules (ERMs) influence diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), focusing on their relation to tumor behavior and patient outcomes.
- Using various analyses, researchers identified a gene signature related to ERMs that can predict patient prognosis and highlight differences in immune environments between risk groups.
- The findings emphasize the significance of specific genes like SNRPB and CEP290 in understanding DLBCL, potentially guiding future treatment strategies and research.
