Published: October 2020

Development of human genetic and proteomic research has increased the interest in alternative head-and-neck cancer (HNC) detection methods. The aim of this article, the second of two-part series, was to review the scientific literature about novel HNC genetic and proteomic biomarkers. A comprehensive review of the current literature was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses guidelines by accessing the NCBI PubMed database. Authors conducted the search of articles in English language published from 2004 to 2015. A total of 50 relevant studies were included in the review. Thirty of them concerned proteomic and twenty genetic alterations in HNC. The present systematic review discovered 242 genes and 44 proteins associated with HNC. Due to inconsistent and sparse results, novel biomarkers cannot be firmly established. Prognostic capacity of genetic markers was not evaluated. Proteins (14-3-3γ, extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer, and PA28γ) were described as most valuable for prognostic observation of HNC. A strict methodological protocol for molecular studies must be established.

Department of Clinical Laboratory Medicine Center, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Hospital, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China.

Introduction: This study aims to utilize proteomics, bioinformatics, and machine learning algorithms to identify diagnostic biomarkers in the serum of patients with acute and chronic brucellosis.

Methods: Proteomic analysis was conducted on serum samples from patients with acute and chronic brucellosis, as well as from healthy controls. Differential expression analysis was performed to identify proteins with altered expression, while Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was applied to detect co-expression modules associated with clinical features of brucellosis.

Cellular senescence induced by down-regulation of correlates with exon skipping of mitochondrial-related gene .

Collaborative Innovation Center of Genetics and Development, Human Phenome Institute, School of Life Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, China.

As the most prevalent type of alternative splicing in animal cells, exon skipping plays an important role in expanding the diversity of transcriptome and proteome, thereby participating in the regulation of diverse physiological and pathological processes such as development, aging, and cancer. Cellular senescence serving as an anti-cancer mechanism could also contribute to individual aging. Although the dynamic changes of exon skipping during cellular senescence were revealed, its biological consequence and upstream regulator remain poorly understood.

Objective: The pathogenesis of AITD remains unclear to date. This study employs a combination of proteomics and transcriptomics analysis to identify and validate specific immune response markers in patients with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, thereby providing a scientific basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of AITD.

Methods: By collecting serum and whole blood tissue samples from patients with hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and healthy controls, this study utilizes a combination of transcriptomics and proteomics to analyze changes in immune-related signaling molecules in patients.
