Abstract
Although the probability of pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) being detected is raising year by year, their differential diagnosis and individualized treatment are still a challenge in clinical work. PCNs are tumors containing cystic components with different biological behaviors, and their clinical manifestations, epidemiology, imaging features, and malignant risks are different. Some are benign [e.g., serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs)], with a barely possible that turning into malignant, while others display a low or higher malignant risk [e.g., solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), and mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs)]. PCN management should concentrate on preventing the progression of malignant tumors while preventing complications caused by unnecessary surgical intervention. Clinically, various advanced imaging equipment are usually combined to obtain a more reliable preoperative diagnosis. The challenge for clinicians and radiologists is how to accurately diagnose PCNs before surgery so that corresponding surgical methods and follow-up strategies can be developed or not, as appropriate. The objective of this review is to sum up the clinical features, imaging findings and management of the most common PCNs according to the classic literature and latest guidelines.

Goumenou A, Delaunay N, Pichon V. Recent Advances in Lectin-Based Affinity Sorbents for Protein Glycosylation Studies. Front Mol Biosci 2021; 8:746822. [PMID: 34778373 PMCID: PMC8585745 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2021.746822] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2021] [Accepted: 09/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most significant post-translational modifications occurring to proteins, since it affects some of their basic properties, such as their half-life or biological activity. The developments in analytical methodologies has greatly contributed to a more comprehensive understanding of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the glycosylation state of proteins. Despite those advances, the difficulty of a full characterization of glycosylation still remains, mainly due to the complexity of the glycoprotein and/or glycopeptide mixture especially when they are present in complex biological samples. For this reason, various techniques that allow a prior selective enrichment of exclusively glycosylated proteins or glycopeptides have been developed in the past and are coupled either on- or off- line with separation and detection methods. One of the most commonly implemented enrichment methods includes the use of lectin proteins immobilized on various solid supports. Lectins are a group of different, naturally occurring proteins that share a common characteristic, which concerns their affinity for specific sugar moieties of glycoproteins. This review presents the different formats and conditions for the use of lectins in affinity chromatography and in solid phase extraction, including their use in dispersive mode, along with the recent progress made on either commercial or home-made lectin-based affinity sorbents, which can lead to a fast and automated glycosylation analysis.

Abstract
蛋白质糖基化是生物体内最重要的翻译后修饰之一,在蛋白质稳定性、细胞内和细胞间信号转导、激素活化或失活和免疫调节等生理过程和病理进程中发挥重要作用。而异常的蛋白质糖基化往往和多种疾病的发生发展密切相关,目前应用于临床检测的多种肿瘤生物标志物大多属于糖蛋白或者糖抗原。因此在组学层次系统分析蛋白质糖基化的变化对阐明生物体内糖基化修饰的调控机理和发现新型疾病标志物都非常重要。基于质谱的蛋白质组学技术为全面分析蛋白质及其修饰提供了有效的分析手段。在自下而上的蛋白质组学研究中,由于完整糖基化肽段同时存在性质各异的肽段骨架和糖链结构、糖肽的相对丰度和离子化效率较低以及糖基化修饰有高度异质性等特点,完整糖肽的分析比其他翻译后修饰更加困难。近年来,为了更全面、系统地分析蛋白质糖基化,研究人员发展了一些新技术,包括完整糖肽的富集技术、质谱的碎裂模式和数据采集模式、质谱数据的解析方法和定量策略等等,大力推进了该领域的研究水平,也为研究蛋白质糖基化相关的生物标志物提供了技术支持。该篇综述主要关注近年来基于质谱的糖蛋白质组学研究中的新进展,重点介绍针对完整N-和O-糖基化肽段的富集新技术和谱图解析新方法,并讨论其在肿瘤早期诊断方面的应用潜力。

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Advances in cross-sectional imaging have resulted in increased detection of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), and their management remains controversial. At present, there is no reliable noninvasive method to distinguish between indolent and high risk IPMNs. We performed extracellular vesicle (EV) analysis to identify markers of malignancy in an attempt to better stratify these lesions. METHODS Using a novel ultrasensitive digital extracellular vesicle screening technique (DEST), we measured putative biomarkers of malignancy (MUC1, MUC2, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC6, Das-1, STMN1, TSP1, TSP2, EGFR, EpCAM, GPC1, WNT-2, EphA2, S100A4, PSCA, MUC13, ZEB1, PLEC1, HOOK1, PTPN6, and FBN1) in EV from patient-derived cell lines and then on circulating EV obtained from peripheral blood drawn from patients with IPMNs. We enrolled a total of 133 patients in two separate cohorts: a clinical discovery cohort (n = 86) and a validation cohort (n = 47). RESULTS From 16 validated EV proteins in plasma samples collected from the discovery cohort, only MUC5AC showed significantly higher levels in high-grade lesions. Of the 11 patients with invasive IPMN (inv/HG), 9 had high MUC5AC expression in plasma EV of the 11 patients with high-grade dysplasia alone, only 1 had high MUC5AC expression (sensitivity of 82%, specificity of 100%). These findings were corroborated in a separate validation cohort. The addition of MUC5AC as a biomarker to imaging and high-riskstigmata allowed detection of all cases requiring surgery, whereas imaging and high-risk stigmata alone would have missed 5 of 14 cases (36%). CONCLUSIONS MUC5AC in circulating EV can predict the presence of invasive carcinoma within IPMN. This approach has the potential to improve the management and follow-up of patients with IPMN including avoiding unnecessary surgery.

Marker Identification of the Grade of Dysplasia of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm in Pancreatic Cyst Fluid by Quantitative Proteomic Profiling. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12092383. [PMID: 32842508 PMCID: PMC7565268 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12092383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The incidence of patients with pancreatic cystic lesions, particularly intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), is increasing. Current guidelines, which primarily consider radiological features and laboratory data, have had limited success in predicting malignant IPMN. The lack of a definitive diagnostic method has led to low-risk IPMN patients undergoing unnecessary surgeries. To address this issue, we discovered IPMN marker candidates by analyzing pancreatic cystic fluid by mass spectrometry. A total of 30 cyst fluid samples, comprising IPMN dysplasia and other cystic lesions, were evaluated. Mucus was removed by brief sonication, and the resulting supernatant was subjected to filter-aided sample preparation and high-pH peptide fractionation. Subsequently, the samples were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Using several bioinformatics tools, such as gene ontology and ingenuity pathway analysis, we detailed IPMNs at the molecular level. Among the 5834 proteins identified in our dataset, 364 proteins were differentially expressed between IPMN dysplasia. The 19 final candidates consistently increased or decreased with greater IPMN malignancy. CD55 was validated in an independent cohort by ELISA, Western blot, and IHC, and the results were consistent with the MS data. In summary, we have determined the characteristics of pancreatic cyst fluid proteins and discovered potential biomarkers for IPMN dysplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of incidental pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) has increased dramatically with advancements in cross-sectional imaging. Diagnostic imaging is limited in differentiating between benign and malignant PCNs. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of biomarkers that can be used to distinguish PCNs. METHODS A review of the literature on molecular diagnosis of cystic neoplasms of the pancreas was performed. RESULTS Pancreatic cysts can be categorized into inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions. Inflammatory cysts include pancreatic pseudocysts. Noninflammatory lesions include both mucinous and non-mucinous lesions. Mucinous lesions include intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and mucinous cystic neoplasm. Non-mucinous lesions include serous cystadenoma and solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas. Imaging, cyst aspiration, and histologic findings, as well as carcinoembryonic antigen and amylase are commonly used to distinguish between cyst types. However, molecular techniques to detect differences in genetic mutations, protein expression, glycoproteomics, and metabolomic profiling are important developments in distinguishing between cyst types. DISCUSSION Nomograms incorporating common clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings have been developed in a better effort to predict malignant IPMN. The incorporation of top molecular biomarker candidates to nomograms may improve the predictive ability of current models to more accurately diagnose malignant PCNs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy (RT) is considered an important therapeutic strategy in the fight against colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the existence of some radioresistance factors becomes the main challenge for the RT. Recently, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have shown an important role in modulating cancer cell responses to ionizing radiation (IR). It is therefore of great significance to elucidate the exact mechanisms of ncRNAs in IR-mediated responses to CRC. METHODS Microarrays were used to identify specific miRNAs that may be altered in response to IR. Bioinformatics, luciferase reporter analyses were used to explore the targets of miR-6778-5p. CircRNA CBL.11 was identified to bind with miR-6778-5p by bioinformatic analysis, AGO2 immunoprecipitation and biotinylated RNA pull-down assay. Functional experiments, including CCK-8 assay, cell colony formation assay and EdU incorporation were conducted to investigate the biological roles of miR-6778-5p and circular RNA CBL.11. RESULTS MiR-6778-5p was suppressed in CRC cells after irradiation. Results of functional experiments indicated that miR-6778-5p promoted the proliferation of CRC cells. Luciferase reporter analyses showed that YWHAE was a target of miR-6778-5p, which mediated the function of miR-6778-5p in the proliferation of CRC cells via the p53 pathway. Furthermore, we have noticed that after carbon ion irradiation, circRNA CBL.11 was increased in CRC cells and could function as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to regulate YWHAE expression by sponging miR-6778-5p, resulting in regulation the proliferation of CRC cells. CONCLUSION CircRNA CBL.11 may play an important role in improving the efficacy of carbon ion RT against CRC.

Abstract
Background. Advances in imaging improve the detection of malignant pancreatic cystic including mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), and mucinous cystic adenocarcinoma (MCA), but the distinction between benign and malignant lesions remains a problem. In an effort to establish glycopatterns as potential biomarkers for differential diagnosis between MCN and SCN, we systematically investigated the alterations of glycopatterns in cystic fluids for both SCN and MCN. Methods. Among the 75 patients enrolled, 37 were diagnosed as MCN and 38 as SCN based on histology. Lectin microarray analysis was performed on each sample, and the fluorescence intensity was used to obtain the fold-change. Then, mixed cyst fluids of MCN group and SCN group were cross bonded with magnetic particles coupled by Lectin STL and WGA, respectively. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) enrichment was performed, liquid chromatography (LC)/mass spectrometry (MS) analysis and bioinformatical analysis was conducted to find the differential glycoproteins between MCNs and SCNs. Results. Through analysis of lectin microarray between MCNs and SCNs, stronger lectin signal patterns were assigned to Lectin WFA, DBA, STL, WGA, and BPL; and weaker signal patterns were assigned to Lectin PTL-I, Con A, ACA, and MAL-I. The glycoproteins were enriched by STL or WGA-coupled magnetic particles. Furthermore, the 10 identified correspondding genes were found to be significantly elevated in the mucinous cystadenoma: CLU, A2M, FGA, FGB, FGG, PLG, SERPINA1, SERPING1, C5, C8A, and C9. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the above genes may activate the KEGG pathway: immune complement system. Conclusion. This study shows changes in glycopatterns and glycoproteins are associated with MCNs and SCNs.

A critical review of the role of M 2PYK in the Warburg effect. Biochim Biophys Acta Rev Cancer 2019; 1871:225-239.

Abstract
It is becoming generally accepted in recent literature that the Warburg effect in cancer depends on inhibition of M2PYK, the pyruvate kinase isozyme most commonly expressed in tumors. We remain skeptical. There continues to be a general lack of solid experimental evidence for the underlying idea that a bottle neck in aerobic glycolysis at the level of M2PYK results in an expanded pool of glycolytic intermediates (which are thought to serve as building blocks necessary for proliferation and growth of cancer cells). If a bottle neck at M2PYK exists, then the remarkable increase in lactate production by cancer cells is a paradox, particularly since a high percentage of the carbons of lactate originate from glucose. The finding that pyruvate kinase activity is invariantly increased rather than decreased in cancer undermines the logic of the M2PYK bottle neck, but is consistent with high lactate production. The "inactive" state of M2PYK in cancer is often described as a dimer (with reduced substrate affinity) that has dissociated from an active tetramer of M2PYK. Although M2PYK clearly dissociates easier than other isozymes of pyruvate kinase, it is not clear that dissociation of the tetramer occurs in vivo when ligands are present that promote tetramer formation. Furthermore, it is also not clear whether the dissociated dimer retains any activity at all. A number of non-canonical functions for M2PYK have been proposed, all of which can be challenged by the finding that not all cancer cell types are dependent on M2PYK expression. Additional in-depth studies of the Warburg effect and specifically of the possible regulatory role of M2PYK in the Warburg effect are needed.

Abstract
Background
The application of advanced imaging technologies for identifying pancreatic cysts has become widespread. However, accurately differentiating between low-grade dysplasia (LGD), high-grade dysplasia (HGD), and invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) remains a diagnostic challenge with current biomarkers, necessitating the development of novel biomarkers that can distinguish IPMN malignancy.
Methods Cyst fluid samples were collected from nine IPMN patients (3 LGD, 3 HGD, and 3 invasive IPMN) during their pancreatectomies. An integrated proteomics approach that combines filter-aided sample preparation, stage tip-based high-pH fractionation, and high-resolution MS was applied to acquire in-depth proteomic data of pancreatic cyst fluid and discover marker candidates for IPMN malignancy. Biological processes of differentially expressed proteins that are related to pancreatic cysts and aggressive malignancy were analyzed using bioinformatics tools such as gene ontology analysis and Ingenuity pathway analysis. In order to confirm the validity of the marker candidates, 19 cyst fluid samples were analyzed by western blot.
Results A dataset of 2992 proteins was constructed from pancreatic cyst fluid samples. A subsequent analysis found 2963 identified proteins in individual samples, 2837 of which were quantifiable. Differentially expressed proteins between histological grades of IPMN were associated with pancreatic diseases and malignancy according to ingenuity pathway analysis. Eighteen biomarker candidates that were differentially expressed across IPMN histological grades were discovered—7 DEPs that were upregulated and 11 that were downregulated in more malignant grades. HOOK1 and PTPN6 were validated by western blot in an independent cohort, the results of which were consistent with our proteomic data. Conclusions This study demonstrates that novel biomarker candidates for IPMN malignancy can be discovered through proteomic analysis of pancreatic cyst fluid.

Abstract
Background and Objectives With improvements in imaging technologies, pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) have been increasingly identified in recent years. However, the imaging modalities used to differentiate the categories of pancreatic cysts remain limited, which may cause confusion when planning treatment. Due to progress in endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) technology, auxiliary diagnosis by the detection of cystic fluid has become a recent trend. Methods From March 2015 to April 2016, 120 patients with PCLs were enrolled in this study. According to the results of EUS, cyst fluid carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) analysis, and cystic fluid cytology, the patients were divided into two groups: a nonmucinous and a mucinous group. Of those, 61 patients who had undergone surgical resection were included in the analysis. The clinical features, biochemical and tumor markers of cyst fluid as well as the cytological test results of the patients were compared with histopathology results. Results A cyst size of 4.0 cm was used as the boundary value; a cyst ≤4.0 cm was defined as a small PCL. 87 (72.5%) lesions were ≤4.0 cm, and 33 (27.5%) lesions were >4.0 cm. Regarding the analysis of CEA and carbohydrate antigens 19-9 (CA19-9), significant differences were found between the nonmucinous and mucinous groups (P < 0.05) according to nonparametric independent samples tests. The EUS, cystic fluid CEA, and cystic fluid cytology results were compared with the tissue pathology findings using McNemar's test (P < 0.05) and showed a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 84%. Conclusion A diagnostic combination of EUS, cyst fluid CEA, and cystic fluid cytology could be used to differentiate small pancreatic cystic neoplasms. Cystic fluid cytology analysis is helpful for planning treatment for pancreatic cystic tumors that pose a surgical risk.

Abstract
RATIONALE In recent years, the molecular components of pancreatic cyst fluid have been used for diagnosis and prognosis. Because the protein markers that are currently used in clinical tests are unreliable, proteomic studies to find new protein markers are being conducted. However, such researches have been limited due to the complexity of pancreatic cyst fluid and the immaturity of proteomic techniques. METHODS To overcome these limitations and provide a pancreatic cyst proteome dataset, we examined cyst fluid proteome with tandem mass spectrometry. The proteomic analysis was performed using a Orbitrap-based mass spectrometer (Q-Exactive) coupled with a 50-cm-long nano-liquid chromatography column. Protein mutations were identified using mutation sequence database search. RESULTS A total of 5850 protein groups were identified from microliters of cyst fluid. Among those, 3934 protein groups were reported for the first time in pancreatic cyst fluid. Although high-abundance proteins were not depleted in the experiment, our dataset detected almost all pancreatic tumor markers such as mucin family members, S100 proteins, and CEA-related proteins. In addition, 590 protein mutation marker candidates were discovered. CONCLUSIONS We provide a comprehensive cyst proteome dataset that includes cystic cellular proteins and mutated proteins. Our findings would serve as a rich resource for further IPMN studies and clinical applications. The MS data have been deposited in the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD005671 (http://proteomecentral.proteomexchange.org/dataset/PXD005671).

Abstract
The 14-3-3 protein family may regulates protein interaction, transportation and cellular localization. The regulatory role of 14-3-3ε is influenced by its altered localization. In the present study, human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells were treated with curcumin to induce apoptosis. Subsequently, the altered expression and localization of 14-3-3ε and its co-localization with other apoptosis-associated proteins during apoptosis was investigated. Analysis of nuclear matrix proteins (NMPs), using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis with matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, revealed that 14-3-3ε existed on the nuclear matrix of MG-63 cells, and its expression was decreased compared with that in control cells following curcumin treatment. In addition, western blot analysis validated that the expression level of 14-3-3ε was downregulated during curcumin-induced apoptosis of MG-63 cells compared with that in control cells. Using immunofluorescence labeling, it was observed that 14-3-3ε was located on the nuclear matrix of MG-63 cells and the distribution of 14-3-3ε on the nuclear matrix was decreased following treatment with curcumin, compared with that in control cells. Double immunofluorescence staining and laser-scanning confocal microscopy demonstrated that 14-3-3ε was co-localized with B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated-X protein, p53 and c-FOS transcription factor in MG-63 cells. Furthermore, following treatment with curcumin, these co-localization regions were decreased. The results of the present study revealed that 14-3-3ε is an NMP in MG-63 cells, and its altered expression and co-localization with apoptosis-associated proteins indicated an important function of 14-3-3ε in apoptosis of MG-63 cells. Additional studies are required to investigate the results of the present study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide. However, there remain many unmet clinical needs, from diagnosis to treatment strategies. The inherent complexity of the molecular characteristics of PDAC has made it difficult to meet these challenges, rendering proteomic profiling of PDAC a critical area of research. Area covered: In this review, we present recent advances in mass spectrometry (MS) and its current application in proteomic studies on PDAC. In addition, we discuss future directions for research that can efficiently incorporate current MS-based technologies that address key issues of PDAC proteomics. Expert commentary: Compared with other cancer studies, little progress has been made in PDAC proteomics, perhaps attributed to the difficulty in performing in-depth and large-scale clinical studies on PDAC. However, recent advances in mass spectrometry can advance PDAC proteomics past the fundamental research stage.

Abstract
The identification of carbohydrate isomers, including mono units, linkage positions and anomeric configurations, remains an arduous subject. In this study, the natural amino acid leucine (Leu) was found to specifically interact with cellobiose (Cello) to form a series of potassium adducts as [Cello + Leu + K](+), [Cello + 2Leu + K](+), and [2Cello + Leu + K](+) in the gas phase using mass spectrometry. By using CID-MS/MS, these complexes produced specific fragmentation patterns from the sugar backbone cleavage instead of non-covalent interactions. Moreover, their fragment distributions were dependent on the ratios of Cello-to-Leu in the complexes and the fragmentation pathways of potassium-cationized disaccharides (Dis) were remarkably changed with leucine binding. It should be pointed out that the ternary complex [2Cello + AA + K](+) was unique for leucine among all the twenty natural amino acids. The [2Dis + Leu + K](+) complex produced the most informative fragments by tandem mass spectrometry, which was successfully applied for rapid and efficient discrimination of twelve glucose-containing disaccharide isomers in combination with statistical analyses including PCA and OPLS-DA. The methodology developed here not only provides a novel analytical approach for the differentiation of disaccharide isomers, but also brings new sight towards the interactions of amino acids with disaccharides.

Abstract
Fidelity of glycan structures is a key requirement for biotherapeutics, with carbohydrates playing an important role for therapeutic efficacy. Comprehensive glycan profiling techniques such as liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS), while providing detailed description of glycan structures, require glycan cleavage, labeling, and paradigms to deconvolute the considerable data sets they generate. On the other hand, lectins as probes on microarrays have recently been used in orthogonal approaches for in situ glycoprofiling but require analyte labeling to take advantage of the capabilities of automated microarray readers and data analysis they afford. Herein, we describe a lectin-based microtiter assay (lectin-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA]) to quantify terminal glycan moieties, applicable to in vitro and in-cell glycan-engineered Fc proteins as well as intact IgGs from intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), a blood product containing pooled polyvalent IgG antibodies extracted from plasma from healthy human donors. We corroborate our findings with industry-standard LC-MS profiling. This "customizable" ELISA juxtaposes readouts from multiple lectins, focusing on a subset of glycoforms, and provides the ability to discern single- versus dual-arm glycosylation while defining levels of epitopes at sensitivities comparable to MS. Extendable to other biologics, this ELISA can be used stand-alone or complementary to MS for quantitative glycan analysis.

Abstract
Glycosylation on proteins adds complexity and versatility to these biologically vital macromolecules. To unveil the structure-function relationship of glycoproteins, glycopeptide-centric analysis using mass spectrometry (MS) has become a method of choice because the glycan is preserved on the glycosylation site and site-specific glycosylation profiles of proteins can be readily determined. However, glycopeptide analysis is still challenging given that glycopeptides are usually low in abundance and relatively difficult to detect and the resulting data require expertise to analyze. Viewing the urgent need to address these challenges, emerging methods and techniques are being developed with the goal of analyzing glycopeptides in a sensitive, comprehensive, and high-throughput manner. In this review, we discuss recent advances in glycoprotein and glycopeptide analysis, with topics covering sample preparation, analytical separation, MS and tandem MS techniques, as well as data interpretation and automation.

Abstract
There is significant research interest in developing and validating novel pancreatic cyst-fluid biomarkers given the increasing recognition of the prevalence of pancreatic cysts and their associated malignant potential. Although current international consensus guidelines are helpful, they fail to diagnose with certainty the cyst type and the level of epithelial dysplasia. They also fall short in predicting the future likelihood of malignant transformation. A systematic review was performed with the objective of summarizing cyst-fluid-based biomarkers that have been published in the medical literature over the past 10 years and characterizing the current quality of evidence. Our review demonstrates that there is an increasing interest in this topic with several different and innovative approaches including DNA, RNA, proteomic, and metabolomics profiling. Further techniques to improve upon cytological yield have also been studied. Besides identifying potentially useful clinical biomarkers, these empiric approaches have provided further insight into their pathogenesis. The level of evidence for the vast majority of these studies, however, is limited to retrospective early validation studies. The path forward will be to select out the most promising biomarkers and develop multicenter consortiums capable of capturing adequate sample sizes with appropriate study designs.

Abstract
Circulating O-glycoproteins shed from cancer cells represent important serum biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. We have recently shown that selective detection of cancer-associated aberrant glycoforms of circulating O-glycoprotein biomarkers can increase specificity of cancer biomarker assays. However, the current knowledge of secreted and circulating O-glycoproteins is limited. Here, we used the COSMC KO "SimpleCell" (SC) strategy to characterize the O-glycoproteome of two gastric cancer SimpleCell lines (AGS, MKN45) as well as a gastric cell line (KATO III) which naturally expresses at least partially truncated O-glycans. Overall, we identified 499 O-glycoproteins and 1236 O-glycosites in gastric cancer SimpleCells, and a total 47 O-glycoproteins and 73 O-glycosites in the KATO III cell line. We next modified the glycoproteomic strategy to apply it to pools of sera from gastric cancer and healthy individuals to identify circulating O-glycoproteins with the STn glycoform. We identified 37 O-glycoproteins in the pool of cancer sera, and only nine of these were also found in sera from healthy individuals. Two identified candidate O-glycoprotein biomarkers (CD44 and GalNAc-T5) circulating with the STn glycoform were further validated as being expressed in gastric cancer tissue. A proximity ligation assay was used to show that CD44 was expressed with the STn glycoform in gastric cancer tissues. The study provides a discovery strategy for aberrantly glycosylated O-glycoproteins and a set of O-glycoprotein candidates with biomarker potential in gastric cancer.

Abstract
This review article expands on the previous one (S. Selvaraju and Z. El Rassi, Electrophoresis 2012, 33, 74-88) by reviewing pertinent literature in the period extending from early 2011 to present. As the previous review article, the present one is concerned with proteomic sample preparation (e.g., depletion of high-abundance proteins, reduction of the protein dynamic concentration range, enrichment of a particular subproteome), and the subsequent chromatographic and/or electrophoretic prefractionation prior to peptide separation and identification by LC-MS/MS. This review article, however, is distinguished from its earlier version by expanding on capturing/enriching subphosphoproteomes by immobilized metal affinity chromatography and metal oxide affinity chromatography. Seventy-seven papers published in the period extending from mid-2011 to the present have been reviewed. By no means this review article is exhaustive, given the fact that its aim is to give a concise treatment of the latest developments in the field.

Abstract
![]()
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma
is the most prevalent of all reported kidney cancer cases, and currently
there are no markers for early diagnosis. This has stimulated great
research interest recently because early detection of the disease
can significantly improve the low survival rate. Combining the proteome,
glycoproteome, and N-glycome data from clear cell renal cell carcinoma
plasma has the potential of identifying candidate markers for early
diagnosis and prognosis and/or to monitor disease recurrence. Here,
we report on the utilization of a multi-dimensional fractionation
approach (12P-M-LAC) and LC–MS/MS to comprehensively investigate
clear cell renal cell carcinoma plasma collected before (disease)
and after (non-disease) curative nephrectomy (n =
40). Proteins detected in the subproteomes were investigated via label-free
quantification. Protein abundance analysis revealed a number of low-level
proteins with significant differential expression levels in disease
samples, including HSPG2, CD146, ECM1, SELL, SYNE1, and VCAM1. Importantly,
we observed a strong correlation between differentially expressed
proteins and clinical status of the patient. Investigation of the
glycoproteome returned 13 candidate glycoproteins with significant
differential M-LAC column binding. Qualitative analysis indicated
that 62% of selected candidate glycoproteins showed higher levels
(upregulation) in M-LAC bound fraction of disease samples. This observation
was further confirmed by released N-glycans data in which 53% of identified
N-glycans were present at different levels in plasma in the disease
vs non-disease samples. This striking result demonstrates the potential
for significant protein glycosylation alterations in clear cell renal
cell carcinoma cancer plasma. With future validation in a larger cohort,
information derived from this study may lead to the development of
clear cell renal cell carcinoma candidate biomarkers.
