Abstract
Advanced proteomics tools have identified the role of proteins in cancer biology, highlighting the importance of these molecules for biomarker discovery and providing valuable insights into cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy. Proteome analysis of tissue using high-throughput proteomics techniques has identified proteins associated with recurrence and malignant transformation in benign tumors, and protein profiling of fine needle aspiration has revealed potential biomarkers for distinguishing malignant salivary gland tumors from benign ones. In addition, proteomics studies have identified distinct protein expression patterns in mesenchymal stem cells derived from malignant salivary gland tumors, suggesting a potential role for proteins in adverse behavior and/or targeted therapy. To provide a comprehensive knowledge of salivary gland tumors, this review will first provide a brief description of the molecular and cellular alterations in common benign and malignant salivary gland tumors and then describe the proteomics studies by concentration on different biological sources including serum/plasma, saliva, tumor tissues and related derivatives (e.g. mesenchymal stem cells, tumor cells, tumor established cell lines, and fine needle aspiration), and introduce potential targets for diagnosis, prognosis, and cancer therapy.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
