Abstract
Targeted proteomics is a method that measures the amount of target proteins via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and is used to verify and validate the candidate cancer biomarker proteins. Compared with antibody-based quantification methods such as ELISA, targeted proteomics enables rapid method development, simultaneous measurement of multiple proteins, and high-specificity detection of modifications. Moreover, by spiking the internal standard peptide, targeted proteomics detects the absolute amounts of marker proteins, which is essential for determining the cut-off values for diagnosis and thus for multi-institutional validation. With these unique features, targeted proteomics can seamlessly transfer cancer biomarker candidate proteins from the discovery phase to the verification and validation phases, thereby resulting in an accelerated cancer biomarker pipeline. Furthermore, understanding the basic principles, advantages, and disadvantages is necessary to effectively utilize targeted proteomics in cancer biomarker pipelines. This review aimed to introduce the technical principles of targeted proteomics for cancer biomarker verification and validation.
