Therefore, to get to the roots of the pathological processes and find appropriate cure for the related diseases, one should clearly know the connections between protein-centric physiology and pathology. This logic represents premises of the medical protein science, where one is looking for the connections between the ‘right’ protein structure and normal function to understand how dysfunction can be linked back to the ‘wrong’ structure and assuming that fixing such ‘wrong’ structure can serve as a means to restore a normal function and therefore cure a disease. Even though mutations in a gene encoding a culprit protein represent the major reason for this protein to gain ‘wrong’ structure, dysfunctionality can also be caused by the distortion of any means from a very broad arsenal of cellular proteostasis-related mechanisms evolved to control and regulate protein folding, structure, and function. Although for the first time, proteins were described by the Dutch chemist Gerardus Johannes Mulder (1802–1880) as enormous molecules, with empirical formula for fibrin and egg albumin being C400H620N100O120P1S1, in his 1838 paper ‘On the composition of some animal substances’ first published in French [1] and translated to German in 1839 [2], they gained serious attention of researchers only after their polypeptide nature discovered independently in 1902 by a German chemist Hermann Emil Louis Fischer (1852–1919) [3] and an early protein scientist Franz Hofmeister (1850–1922) [4] was connected to the enzymatic activity by an American chemist, James B. Sumner (1887–1955), who, in 1926, showed that the enzyme urease is a protein that can be isolated and crystallized [5]. Curiously, as early as in 1894, enzymatic activity was proposed by Emil Fischer to follow his classical ‘lock-and-key’ model [6]. This concept was eventually elaborated into the famous protein structure-function paradigm, where the amino acid sequence determines a uniquely folded 3D structure that can be visualized in the crystalline state and that, in turn, defines the unique protein function [7]. As a result, in most of the almost 185 years of their history (and definitely since 1894), proteins were equated to enzymes, being considered as biological catalysts, while many other functions of these biological macromolecules and their intriguing potential to be multifunctional were mostly ignored.","PeriodicalId":50463,"journal":{"name":"Expert Review of Proteomics","volume":"19 7-12","pages":"279-282"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9120103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, RNA regulation precludes a one-to-one correlation of mRNA abundance to protein abundance or activity. A corollary of this is that evaluation of RNA by itself is insufficient to fully appreciate pathogenic cellular signaling within the tumor ecosystem. Global proteomics and phosphoproteomics have emerged as powerful unbiased methodologies for detailing fundamental signaling networks of cancer cells and perturbations that sustain resistance against targeted therapies, contributing to the discovery of new therapeutic targets[3]. Similar to other cancers, the utility of mass spectrometrybased technologies has augmented our ability to categorize the underlying heterogeneity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) – expanding our capacity to classify AML beyond genomic features alone. Efforts over the past decade have resulted in the creation of new datasets that have begun to characterize the AML proteome and phosphoproteome. A subset of these studies have been exploratory in nature [4–9] – leading to the generation of new hypotheses, while others have focused on examining particular aspects of a disease state (e.g. drug resistance) to identify new biomarkers. These data provide a rich resource for further investigations aimed at mapping the ‘post-genomic’ landscape of AML (Table 1). Within this editorial, we discuss how integration and aggregation of such data with our current understanding of the AML genome and transcriptome holds the promise of refining our classification of leukemia cells – the genotype and phenotype – and yielding mechanistic insights that can inform the generation of improved therapeutic combinations. Casado et al. profiled the proteome and phosphoproteome of primary AML cells from 30 patients and the aggregation of these datasets with corresponding genomic, immunophenotypic, and pharmacologic analyses was among the first studies to infer that cell differentiation state influences kinase signaling changes and drug sensitivity profiles[4]. The authors also showed that FLT3 mutation status alone was insufficient to predict response to the FDA-approved inhibitor midostaurin and that increased activation of PKCδ and GSK3A in AML cells, as revealed by phosphoproteomics, correlated with midostaurin response[4]. Early attempts to integrate proteomic, genomic, and/or transcriptomic datasets have expanded our ability to categorize the small sub-populations of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) that govern the underlying heterogeneity and complexity of AML[5] and our understanding of the nuclear proteome in the pathogenesis of AML[6]. More recently, Jayavelu et al. identified five AML subtypes with distinct biological features via proteomic characterization of 252 AML patient samples[7].

The spatial and temporal evolution of tumor heterogeneity during tumor development results in the dynamic reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment (TME) [1]. Over the last decade, technological developments from bulk genome to single-cell sequencing have provided us with ever-more powerful tool to investigate what happens in TME [2]. Since reprogrammed energy metabolism is one of the hallmarks of cancer, metabolomics may provide a new direction for shedding light on the interactions between small molecules (mainly molecules with molecular weight less than 2000 Da) and other biomolecules in tumors. However, traditional metabolomics cannot give spatiallyrelated information unless combined with spatially resolved sampling, but revealing the metabolic reprogramming characteristics of TME and clarifying the targeting heterogeneity of antitumor drugs rely on the spatial information of metabolites or small molecule drugs. Thus, the advent of spatial metabolomics provides an opportunity to detect molecular localization based on the relative abundance of molecules and to directly correlate changes in small molecules with anatomical features. In other words, spatial metabolomics is oriented to reveal the spatial distribution and variation of metabolites [3]. Most of spatially resolved metabolomics combine ionization techniques with label-free, high-throughput mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) to obtain information on the spatial distribution of metabolites. In addition, laser capture microdissection technique combined with mass spectrometry detection is also one of the research directions in spatial metabolomics, it can select the area of interest for detailed study. Developments in MSI now make it possible to directly observe metabolic changes in tissues, even in single cells. To date, most spatial metabolomics techniques are based on matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) or desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI), both of which are constantly being improved [4]. In recent years, spatially resolved metabolomics has reaped a series of groundbreaking insights in the fields of metabolic heterogeneity of tumors, rapid diagnosis (including tumor boundary determination), metabolic typing, targeting efficiency of antitumor drugs, and efficacy assessment by obtaining information on the distribution of metabolites and smallmolecule drugs in TME (Figure 1). The development of spatially resolved metabolomics technologies will help open the black box of TME and provide new opportunities for precision treatment of tumors.","PeriodicalId":50463,"journal":{"name":"Expert Review of Proteomics","volume":"19 4-6","pages":"227-230"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9383269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
