Detection of renal cell carcinoma-associated markers via proteome- and other 'ome'-based analyses
2004
Proteome analysis has rapidly developed in the post-genome era and is now widely accepted as the complementary technology for genetic profiling. It has been shown to be a powerful tool for studying human diseases and for identifying novel prognostic, diagnostic and therapeutic markers. This review focuses on the identification of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for renal cell carcinoma using different 'ome'-based technologies.
Design of proteome-based studies in combination with serology for the identification of biomarkers and novel targets
2002
Recently proteome analysis has rapidly developed in the post-genome era and is now widely accepted as a complementary technology to genetic profiling. The improvement in the technology of both two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) analysis as well as protein identification has made proteomics a valuable and powerful tool to study human diseases. A combination of conventional proteome analysis with serology has been developed as a promising experimental approach for the discovery of serological markers in different malignancies. However, the design of proteome-based studies has to be carefully performed since there are a number of critical needs for systematic and reproducible proteome anal…

Proteomics of Galápagos Marine Iguanas Links Function of Femoral Gland Proteins to the Immune System
2020
Femoral glands secrete a wax-like substance on the inner side of lizard hind legs, which is thought to function as a mode of chemical communication. Though the minor volatile fraction is well studied, the major protein fraction remains enigmatic. Here, we use proteomics to analyze proteins in femoral gland secretions of the Galápagos marine iguana. Although we found no evidence for proteins and peptides involved in chemical communication, we found several immune-regulatory proteins which also demonstrate anti-microbial functions. Accordingly, we show that femoral gland proteins and peptides function as a barrier against microbial infection and may prevent the rapid degradation of volatile s…

Response of rainbow trout transcriptome to model chemical contaminants.
2004
We used high-density cDNA microarray in studies of responses of rainbow trout fry at sublethal ranges of beta-naphthoflavone, cadmium, carbon tetrachloride, and pyrene. The differentially expressed genes were grouped by the functional categories of Gene Ontology. Significantly different response to the studied compounds was shown by a number of classes, such as cell cycle, apoptosis, signal transduction, oxidative stress, subcellular and extracellular structures, protein biosynthesis, and modification. Cluster analysis separated responses to the contaminants at low and medium doses, whereas at high levels the adaptive reactions were masked with general unspecific response to toxicity. We fo…
Differential proteomic and phenotypic behaviour of papillary and anaplastic thyroid cell lines.
2013
Abstract Thyroid carcinomas account for a minority of all malignant tumours but, after those of the gonads, they represent the most common forms of endocrine cancers. They include several types, among which the papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and the anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) are the best known. The two hystotypes display significant biological and clinical differences: PTC is a well differentiated form of tumour with a high incidence and a good prognosis, while the ATC is less frequent but represents one of the most aggressive endocrine tumours with morphological features of an undifferentiated type. To date, as far as we know, no conclusive studies, useful to design arrays of molecul…
Translational Approaches In Cardiovascular Diseases by Omics.
2017
Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Despite scientific and technical progress in risk prediction, diagnostics, prognostication and therapy of cardiovascular pathologies, new biomarkers and therapeutic targets remain the subject of intense research to reduce the burden of these diseases. High throughput analyses, termed "omics", are a promising avenue of research. These recently developed technical fields have revolutionized biological and medical research in a very short time. By their interdisciplinary nature, these new methods have already provided a wide vision of cell and tissue pathways and functions. Here, we review how these methods can he…
Toxicogenomics for the prediction of toxicity related to herbs from traditional Chinese medicine.
2010
Toxicogenomics represents the integration of genomics and toxicology to investigate the interaction between genes and environmental stress in human health. It is a scientific field that studies how the genome is involved in responses to environmental stressors and toxicants. The patterns of altered gene expression that are caused by specific exposures or disease outcomes reveal how toxicants may act and cause disease. Nowadays, toxicogenomics faces great challenges in discriminating the molecular basis of toxicity. We do believe that advances in this field will eventually allow us to describe all the toxicological interactions that occur within a living system. Toxicogenomic responses of a …
"Omics" of HER2-positive breast cancer.
2013
HER2/neu amplification/overexpression is the only somatic mutation widely considered to be a marker of disease outcome and response to treatment in breast cancer. Pathologists have made large efforts to achieve accuracy in characterizing HER2/neu status. The introduction of transtuzumab contributed to development of additional measures to identify sensitive and resistant subclasses of HER2/neu-positive tumors. In this article, we describe the latest advances in HER2/neu status diagnostic assessment and the most relevant research emerging from ‘‘Omics’’ (genomics, epigenetics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) studies on HER2/neu-positive breast cancer. A large quantity of biomarkers from dif…
