چکیده

The purpose of this study was to develop quantitative liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods for the analysis of proteins involved in metastasis of breast cancer for diagnosis and determining disease prognosis, as well as to further our understand of metastatic mechanisms. We have previously demonstrated that the protein type XIV collagen may be specifically expressed in metastatic tissues by two dimensional LC-MS/MS. In this study, we developed quantitative LC-MS/MS methods for type XIV collagen. Type XIV collagen was quantified by analyzing 2 peptides generated by digesting type XIV collagen using stable isotope-labeled peptides. The individual concentrations were equivalent between 2 different peptides of type XIV collagen by evaluation of imprecise transitions and using the best transition for the peptide concentration. The results indicated that type XIV collagen is highly expressed in metastatic tissues of patients with massive lymph node involvement compared to non-metastatic tissues. These findings were validated by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Further studies on type XIV collagen are desired to verify its role as a prognostic factor and diagnosis marker for metastasis.

Complexity of metastasis-associated SDF-1 ligand signaling in breast cancer stem cells.

Tumor metastasis is the main cause of cancer’s lethality. Much research has been dedicated to understand the signaling networks underlying tumor metastasis, with the ultimate goal of identifying signaling nodes or pathways whose inhibition will prevent metastasis. Although previous studies have identified the interaction of the chemokine ligand stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and the G pr...

Quantification of Serum Proteins of Metastatic Oral Cancer Patients Using LC-MS/MS and iTRAQ Labeling.

Metastasis is a critical event in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) progression. In this study, we have performed quantitative analysis of serum proteins from non-metastatic (lymph-node metastasis free) and metastatic OSCC patients using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with iTRAQ labeling (isobaric tagging for relative and absolute quantitation). To eliminate highly ...

Analysis of epithelial mesenchymal transition markers in breast cancer cells in response to stromal cell-derived factor 1

Introduction: Metastasis is the main cause of cancer death; however, the underlying mechanisms of metastasis are largely unknown. The chemokine of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) and the process of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), both have been declared as important factors to promote cancer metastasis; however, Conspicuously, the relation between them has not been recognized well...

A comparative phosphoproteomic analysis of a human tumor metastasis model using a label-free quantitative approach.

Alterations in cellular phosphorylation patterns have been implicated in a number of diseases, including cancer, through multiple mechanisms. Herein we present a survey of the phosphorylation profiles of an isogenic pair of human cancer cell lines with opposite metastatic phenotype. Phosphopeptides were enriched from tumor cell lysates with titanium dioxide and zirconium dioxide, and identified...
