In this study, we included a cohort of patients who underwent sonographic assessment and surgical intervention at the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, associated with the School of Medicine at Zhejiang University, spanning from January 2019 to June 2020. Stratification of cases was based on a combination of preoperative ultrasonographic evaluations and postoperative histopathological diagnoses, resulting in three distinct groups: high-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) labeled as C1, low-risk PTC designated as C2, and a control group (N) composed of benign thyroid tissue adjacent to the carcinoma. Proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses were conducted on PTC specimens. The comparative assessment revealed that proteins up-regulated in the C1/N and C2/N groups were predominantly involved in functions such as amino acid binding, binding of phosphorylated compounds, and serine protease activity. Notably, proteins like NADH dehydrogenase, ATP synthase, oxidoreductases, and iron ion channels were significantly elevated in the C1 versus C2 comparative group. Through meticulous analysis of differential expression multiples, statistical significance, and involvement in metabolic pathways, this study identified eight potential biomarkers pertinent to PTC metastasis diagnostics, encompassing phosphorylated myosin 10, phosphorylated proline-directed protein kinase, leucine tRNA synthetase, 2-oxo-isovalerate dehydrogenase, succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, ADP/ATPtranslocase, pyruvate carboxylase, and fibrinogen. Therapeutic assays employing metformin, an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator, alongside the phosphorylation-specific inhibitor ML-7 targeting Myosin10, demonstrated attenuated cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion capabilities in thyroid cancer cells, accompanied by a reduction in amino acid pools. Cellular colocalization and interaction studies elucidated that AMPK activation imposes an inhibitory influence on Myosin10 levels. The findings of this research corroborate the utility of proteomic and phosphoproteomic platforms in the identification of metastatic markers for PTC and suggest that modulation of AMPK activity, coupled with the inhibition of Myosin10 phosphorylation, may forge novel therapeutic avenues in the management of thyroid carcinoma.</p></div><div><h3>Significance</h3><p>The significance of our research lies in its potential to transform the current understanding and management of thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTC), particularly in its metastatic form.

Mass spectrometry-based proteome analysis serves as a valuable tool in investigating the intricate dynamics of the proteome within the intestinal mucosa.

In our analysis, a total of 2840 proteins were identified across all samples. Through statistical analysis and gene ontology examinations, we investigated potential differences between the three approaches. Even though our findings revealed no significant differences among the three methods, we propose the use of the protocol wherein samples are freeze-dried and treated as solid for protein extraction.

A total of 4280 acetylated proteins were identified, among them, 981 proteins exhibited differential acetylation (DA) while 19 proteins showed increased acetylation level consistently on individual sites.
