Prognostic markers supporting patient stratification with respect to clinical response would therefore be desirable. The aim of this study was to investigate pathophysiological mechanisms underlying radioresistance and to identify potential prognostic markers by comparative proteome profiling. Therefore, formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) samples from rectal tumors (<i>n</i> = 50) and normal control tissue (<i>n</i> = 39) of nonresponders and responders to neoadjuvant chemoradiation were analyzed. As a result, 1685 robustly identified proteins were further evaluated. Comparing tumor with corresponding control samples revealed 221 differentially expressed proteins (FDR < 0.05) with FTL, PCOLCE, and RCN3 being most striking in tumor tissue. CEACAM 1, 5, and 6, as well as MCM protein complex components, were significantly up-regulated in tumor tissue of nonresponders. The autophagic activity-related and DNA damage repair proteins TOM1, CAPNS1, TP53BP1, HS1BP3, as well as COTL1 and DCPS, discriminated non- and nearly complete from complete responders. In the tumor-surrounding tissue of nonresponders, the innate immune response-suppressing protein CD55 was found specifically up-regulated. These proteins may serve as prognostic markers and potential therapeutic targets, requiring further validation in prospective studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":48,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Proteome Research","volume":" ","pages":"3990-4001"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144504175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These challenges include circadian disruptions, irregular working hours, and exposure to G-forces. This study investigates the acute metabolic effects of flight in the A-29 fighter pilots of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). Blood, urine, and saliva samples were collected from 32 pilots, trainees (<i>n</i> = 12; aged 23-26 years) and instructors (<i>n</i> = 20; aged 25-41 years), immediately before and after flights. Assessments included anthropometric measurements, complete blood count (CBC), circulating endothelial cells (CECs), coagulogram, lipidogram, urinalysis, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics. After flights, trainees showed a 12% increase in the number of segmented neutrophils, while instructors exhibited a 15% increase in the number of lymphocyte counts. Serum lactate levels decreased in both groups (23% in trainees and 12% in instructors). Salivary glucose increased by 49% in trainees, whereas instructors demonstrated decreases in metabolites such as choline (23%) and lactate (15%). Urinary trigonelline levels increased by 53% in instructors. The observed changes were more pronounced in instructors vs trainees, indicating a degree of metabolic adaptation associated with greater flight experience.

In this study, a poorly characterized protein, OCIA domain-containing 2 (OCIAD2), encoded by chromosome 4 was identified as being upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma from our previous proteogenomics data using the Taiwan Cancer Moonshot cohort. OCIAD2 was highly expressed in tumor tissues in 95.5% of lung adenocarcinoma patients in our cohort, with elevated expression correlating with worse survival. Functional studies revealed that the silencing of the OCIAD2 decreased cell migration, invasion, and colony-forming abilities. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) indicated the involvement of OCIAD2 in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Subsequently, mitochondrial metabolic assay demonstrated that OCIAD2 impairs OXPHOS function, accompanied by a metabolic shift toward glycolysis. These findings suggest that OCIAD2 promotes cancer progression through metabolic reprogramming, highlighting the role of OCIAD2 as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for lung adenocarcinoma.</p>","PeriodicalId":48,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Proteome Research","volume":" ","pages":"4139-4153"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144673361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Discovering the structure and function of these complexes may unveil important functional insights. The <i>DDX41</i> gene encoding the DEAD-box RNA helicase 41 protein (DDX41) is subject to extensive germline genetic variation, and certain variants create a predisposition to develop myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia. While the importance of <i>DDX41</i> for the control of hematopoiesis is established, many questions remain regarding the mechanisms of how <i>DDX41</i> functions in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Previously, we identified a DDX41-regulated lncRNA, growth-arrest-specific 5 (<i>Gas5</i>). As the <i>Gas5</i> function in hematopoiesis is unknown, we analyzed the protein interactors of <i>Gas5</i> lncRNA using HyPR-MS (hybridization purification of RNA-protein complexes, followed by mass spectrometry). A total of 303 proteins were identified as <i>Gas5</i> lncRNA interactors, five of which were experimentally validated as <i>Gas5</i> lncRNA interactors by RNA immunoprecipitation qPCR (RIP-qPCR) analysis.
