The plasma peptides of breast versus ovarian cancer
ConclusionThere was striking agreement between the breast cancer  plasma peptides and proteins discovered by LC–ESI–MS/MS with previous biomarkers from tumors, cells lines or body fluids by genetic or biochemical methods. The results indicate that variation in plasma peptides from breast cancer versus ovarian cancer may be directly discovered by LC–ESI–M S/MS that will be a powerful tool for clinical research. It may be possible to use a battery of sensitive and robust linear quadrupole ion traps for random and independent sampling of plasma from a multisite clinical trial. (Source: Clinical Proteomics)

The associations of self-rated health with cardiovascular risk proteins: a proteomics approach
ConclusionsPoor SRH was associated with raised concentrations of many plasma proteins. However, the relationships were largely attenuated by adjustments for CVD risk factors, comorbidity and psycho-social factors. Leptin and CCL20 were associated with poor SRH in the present study and could potentially be involved in the SRH –CVD link. (Source: Clinical Proteomics)

Quantitative analysis of Mycobacterium avium subsp . hominissuis proteome in response to antibiotics and during exposure to different environmental conditions
AbstractMycobacterium avium subsp.hominissuis (MAH) belongs to the clinically important non-tuberculous mycobacterial group that infects immunocompromised patients and individuals with underling lung conditions. The need for prolonged therapy is a major challenge of MAH treatment, influencing the development of persistent and drug-resistant infections. The reason why bactericidal drugs take several months to eliminate MAH is unknown. To investigate MAH proteome remodeling under aerobic, anaerobic and biofilm conditions (as it is encountered in patient lungs) and identify metabolic changes potentially associated with bacter...

iTRAQ and PRM-based quantitative proteomics in early recurrent spontaneous abortion: biomarkers discovery
ConclusionsCD45, PSG1, and Prdx-2, were significantly dysregulated in the samples of ERSA and could become important biomarkers for the prediction and diagnosis of ERSA. Larger ‑scale studies are required to confirm the diagnostic value of these biomarkers. (Source: Clinical Proteomics)

Screening differentially expressed proteins from co-cultured hematopoietic cells and bone marrow-derived stromal cells by quantitative proteomics (SILAC) method
ConclusionAltogether, we recommend such quantitative proteomics approach for the studies of the hematopoietic –stroma cross-talk, differentially expressed proteins and related signaling pathways identification. The differentially expressed proteins identified from this current SILAC method will provide a useful basis for ongoing studies of crosstalk between stromal cells and hematopoietic cells in co-cult ure systems. All these result suggested our ongoing studies can focus on the mechanisms underlying CKAP4 increase and CD44 decrease in co-cultured hematopoietic cells, and the increase of LCP1 and decrease of CAPG in co...

Predictive proteomic signatures for response of pancreatic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy
ConclusionBased on the cohort investigated, our data suggested that systemic proteome alterations involved in pathways associated with inflammation, immunoresponse, coagulation and complement cascades may be reporters of chemo-treatment outcome in PDAC patients. For the majority of the patients involved, the panel consisting of PZ, SHBG, VWF and CA 19-9 was able to segregate Good-responders from Limited-responders effectively. Our data also showed that dramatic fluctuations of biomarker concentration in the circulating system of a PDAC patient, which might result from biological heterogeneity or confounding complications, ...
