Abstract
Most cancer proteomics studies to date have focused on a single cancer type. We report The Pan-Cancer Proteome Atlas (TPCPA) based on data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry, to better understand cancer biology and identify therapeutic targets and biomarkers. TPCPA includes 9,670 proteins derived from 999 primary tumors representing 22 cancer types. We describe pan-cancer and cancer type-enriched proteins with extensive external annotation, prioritizing candidate drug targets and biomarkers. Relevant for proteolysis-targeting chimeras, we identify E3-ubiquitin ligases highly expressed in specific tumor types, including HERC5 (esophageal cancer) and RNF5 (liver cancer). Co-expression analysis reveals 13 modules, including unexpected hub proteins as potential drug targets (e.g., GFPT1, LRPPRC, PINK1, DOCK2, and PTPN6). Analysis of 195 colorectal cancers identifies protein markers for RNA-based consensus molecular subtypes (CMSs) and two immune subtypes with prognostic value. We report a cancer type classifier for identification of cancers of unknown primary origin. All TPCPA data can be queried in a dedicated web resource.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Cell is a journal that focuses on promoting major advances in cancer research and oncology. The primary criteria for considering manuscripts are as follows:
Major advances: Manuscripts should provide significant advancements in answering important questions related to naturally occurring cancers.
Translational research: The journal welcomes translational research, which involves the application of basic scientific findings to human health and clinical practice.
Clinical investigations: Cancer Cell is interested in publishing clinical investigations that contribute to establishing new paradigms in the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of cancers.
Insights into cancer biology: The journal values clinical investigations that provide important insights into cancer biology beyond what has been revealed by preclinical studies.
Mechanism-based proof-of-principle studies: Cancer Cell encourages the publication of mechanism-based proof-of-principle clinical studies, which demonstrate the feasibility of a specific therapeutic approach or diagnostic test.
