We have investigated the proteome changes induced by SOX4 overexpression in HCT-116 cells using iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that HDAC1 could be one of the important regulators in cancer stem cells (CSCs) maintenance. We found that SOX4 transcriptionally regul...
Antifibrotic therapy with nintedanib is the clinical mainstay in the treatment of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD). High-dimensional medical image analysis, known as radiomics, provides quantitative insights into organ-scale pathophysiology, generating digital disease fingerprint...
Prostate cancer (PCa) remains the malignancy with the highest morbidity in men (1). Although early-stage PCa usually causes no symptoms, cancer cells in prostate glands readily metastasize to bones, lymph nodes, lungs, and liver during PCa progression (2). Common strategies, including surgery, radiat...
Autophagy is an intracellular degradation mechanism in response to nutrient starvation. Via autophagy, some non-essential cellular constituents are degraded in a lysosome-dependent manner to generate biomolecules that can be utilized for maintaining the metabolic homeostasis. Although it is known tha...
Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. SCCOHT tumors have inactivating mutations in SMARCA4 (BRG1), one of the two mutually exclusive ATPases of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex. To address the role that BRG1 loss plays ...
Low molecular weight (LMW) peptides and proteins (LMWPs, < 30 kDa) in human plasma, serving as potential biomarkers or drug targets, are endowed with a wealth of biological and clinical research values. However, the extraction of LMW species is retarded by high-abundance proteins (HAPs) and therein l...
One sub-project within the global Chromosome 19 Consortium, part of the Chromosome-Centric Human Proteome Project, is to define chromosome 19 gene and protein expression in glioma-derived cancer stem cells (GSCs). Chromosome 19 is notoriously linked to glioma by 1p/19q co-deletions and clinical tests...
Precise assignment of sialylation linkages at the glycopeptide level is of importance in bottom-up glycoproteomics, and is also an indispensable step to understand the function of glycoproteins in pathogen-host interactions and cancer progression. Even though some efforts have been dedicated to the d...
