Abstract
Purpose: Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), metastasized from colorectal cancer (CRC), remains a highly lethal disease. Outcomes of PC is significantly influenced by the amount of intra-abdominal tumor burden and therefore diagnostic tests that facilitate earlier diagnosis could improve PC treatment and patient outcomes.
Experimental design: Using mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, we characterized the protein features of circulating exosomes in the context of CRC PC, CRC with liver metastasis, and primary CRC limited to the colon. We profiled exosomes isolated from patient plasma to identify exosome-associated protein cargoes released by these cancer types.
Results: Analysis of the resulting data identified metastasis-specific exosome protein signatures. Bioinformatic analyses confirmed enrichment of proteins annotated to vesicle-associated processes and intracellular compartments, as well as representation of cancer hallmark functions and processes.
Conclusion and clinical relevance: This research yielded distinct protein profiles for the CRC patient groups and suggests the utility of plasma exosome proteomic analysis for a better understanding of PC development and metastasis.
期刊介绍:
PROTEOMICS - Clinical Applications has developed into a key source of information in the field of applying proteomics to the study of human disease and translation to the clinic. With 12 issues per year, the journal will publish papers in all relevant areas including:
-basic proteomic research designed to further understand the molecular mechanisms underlying dysfunction in human disease
-the results of proteomic studies dedicated to the discovery and validation of diagnostic and prognostic disease biomarkers
-the use of proteomics for the discovery of novel drug targets
-the application of proteomics in the drug development pipeline
-the use of proteomics as a component of clinical trials.
