An automated image analysis system was used for protein quantification of 1862 human proteins in 47 cancer cell lines and 12 clinical cell samples using cell microarrays and immunohistochemistry. The analysis suggests that most proteins are expressed in a cell size dependent manner, and that normalization is required for comparative protein quantification in order to correct for the inherent bias of cell size and systematic ambiguities associated with immunohistochemistry. Two reference standards were evaluated, and normalized protein expression values were found to allow for protein profiling across a panel of morphologically diverse cells, revealing putative patterns of over- and underexpression. Using this approach, proteins with stable expression as well as cell-line specific expression were identified. The results demonstrate the value of large-scale, automated proteome analysis using immunohistochemistry, in revealing functional correlations and establishing methods to interpret and mine proteomic data.

Since its first description more than a decade ago, our understanding of the clinical impact of hereditary alpha-tryptasemia has continued to evolve. First considered to be a genetic disorder with a subset of patients having a syndromic presentation composed of connective tissue abnormalities, symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, and findings of mast cell activation, we now know that hereditary alpha-tryptasemia is a common genetic trait and modifier of mast cell-mediated reactions. More recent studies have shown some previously held associations with congenital hypermobility and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) to be lacking, and illuminated previously unappreciated associations with clonal and nonclonal mast cell disorders.

Background: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) belongs to the worst prognosis of breast cancer subtype probably because of distant metastasis to other organs, e.g. lungs.

Background: Lovastatin, the main lipid-lowering component in red yeast rice, is a golden anti-lipid drug, but its long-term application is continuously challenged by potential skeletal muscle atrophy. Daidzein, an isoflavone derived from soybeans and many Chinese medicines, shows therapeutic potential in treating muscle-related diseases and metabolic disorders. However, whether daidzein can improve lovastatin-induced muscle atrophy and the specific mechanism needs to further study.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is characterized by poor responsiveness to immune evasion and immunotherapy. RNA 7-methylguanine (m7G) modification plays a key role in tumorigenesis. However, the mechanisms by which m7G-modified RNA metabolism affects tumor progression are not fully understood, nor is the contribution of m7G-modified RNA to the CRC immune microenvironment.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which YWHAG (Tyrosine 3-Monooxygenase/Tryptophan 5-Monooxygenase Activation Protein Gamma) promotes metastasis in bladder cancer. Specifically, it seeks to elucidate the role of YWHAG in driving cancer cell invasion and its potential as a prognostic marker for bladder cancer progression.
Methods: The expression pattern of YWHAG in both primary and metastatic bladder cancer tissues was analyzed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) to determine its correlation with clinical stage and prognosis in bladder cancer patients.
