Molecular diagnostics research within the field of cancer is increasingly focused on detecting low-abundance protein endpoints that can be used to define a patient's disease more completely. Protein microarrays represent an important Clinical Proteomics tool for directly measuring protein endpoints in samples extracted from patient tissues. By combining laser capture microdissection, arraying devices, validated isoform-specific antibodies and advanced reporter technology tools, Clinical Proteomics laboratories are currently generating molecular portraits of cancer cells harvested from patient biopsies.:

Prolonged exposure to interferon-gamma (IFNγ) and the associated increased expression of the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) create an intracellular shortage of tryptophan in the cancer cells, which stimulates ribosomal frameshifting and tryptophan to phenylalanine (W>F) codon reassignments during protein synthesis. Here, we investigated whether such neoepitopes can be useful targets of adoptive T cell therapy. Immunopeptidomic analyses uncovered hundreds of W>F neoepitopes mainly presented by the HLA-A24:02 allele.

Department of General Surgery (Colorectal Surgery), The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.

Background: Immunotherapy is beneficial for some colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, but immunosuppressive networks limit its effectiveness. Cancer-associatedfibroblasts (CAFs) are significant in immune escape and resistance toimmunotherapy, emphasizing the urgent need for new treatment strategies.

Methods: Flow cytometric, Western blotting, proteomics analysis, analysis of public database data, genetically modified cell line models, T cell coculture, crystal violetstaining, ELISA, metabonomic and clinical tumour samples were conducted to assess the role of EDEM3 in immune escape and itsmolecular mechanisms.

Our objective is to determine the protein and complements constituents of Cord blood Platelet-rich plasma (CB-PRP), based on the hypothesis that it contains beneficial components capable of arresting or potentially decelerating the advancement of atrophic age-related macular degeneration (dry-AMD), with the support of radiomics. Two distinct pools of CB-PRP were assessed, each pool obtained from a total of 15 umbilical cord-blood donors. One aliquot of each pool respectively was subjected to proteomic analysis in order to enhance the significance of our findings, by identifying proteins that are shared between the two sample pools and gaining insights into the pathways they are associated with.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) necessitates innovative prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. By investigating PNMA1 in HCC via the TCGA and GEO databases and our clinical data, we found that its overexpression is associated with worse survival. The relevance of PNMA1 extends to immune factors such as M1 macrophages, CD8 T cells, and immune checkpoints.
