Immunohistochemical qualification and quantification of interstitial intramyocardial leucocytes was established and standard values concerning adults were published. Fatal casualties due to a viral myocarditis are rare as far as babies and children are concerned (sudden unexpected death in infancy; SUDI). Cases of sudden unexpected death in the first year of life are frequently regarded as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). To diagnose myocarditis when there are only single focal lymphocytic infiltrates in the myocardium, the number of samples taken by autopsy is relevant. But even in babies, immunohistochemical qualification and quantification of interstitial lymphocytes and macrophages can lead to standard values allowing diagnosis of myocarditis. Depending on the course of a viral infection, molecular pathological detection of viral genome in the myocardium is possible to support the diagnosis. Using the mentioned methods gradually, there are more cases of suspected SIDS, which are in fact cases of virus-induced myocarditis as cause of death.

Unlike genomics or transcriptomics, proteomics captures the dynamic and diverse nature of proteins, which play crucial roles in cellular processes. This is exemplified in cancer, where genomic and transcriptomic information often falls short in reflecting actual protein expression and interactions. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is pivotal in proteomic data generation, enabling high-throughput analysis of protein samples. The MS-based workflow involves protein digestion, chromatographic separation, ionization, and fragmentation, leading to peptide identification and quantification. Computational biostatistics, particularly using tools in R (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria; www.R-project.org ), aid in data analysis, revealing protein expression patterns and correlations with clinical variables. Proteomic studies can be explorative, aiming to characterize entire proteomes, or targeted, focusing on specific proteins of interest. The integration of proteomics with genomics addresses database limitations and enhances peptide identification. Case studies in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, glioblastoma multiforme, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma highlight proteomics' clinical applications, from subtyping cancers to identifying diagnostic markers. Moreover, proteomic data augment molecular tumor boards by providing deeper insights into pathway activities and genomic mutations, supporting personalized treatment decisions. Overall, proteomics contributes significantly to advancing our understanding of cellular biology and improving clinical care.</p>","PeriodicalId":74402,"journal":{"name":"Pathologie (Heidelberg, Germany)","volume":" ","pages":"176-182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138300727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
