Areas covered: We overview the recent achievements and discoveries in human bronchial proteomics by outlining how some of the different proteomic techniques/strategies are developed and applied in LC, TB, COPD, and CF. Also, the future roles of bronchial proteomics in predictive proteomics and precision medicine are discussed.
Expert commentary: Much progress has been made in bronchial proteomics. Owing to the advances in proteomics, we now have better ability to isolate proteins from desired cellular compartments, greater protein separation methods, more powerful protein detection technologies, and more sophisticated bioinformatic techniques. These all contributed to our further understanding of lung diseases and for biomarker and therapeutic target discoveries. 相似文献
Areas covered: Proteomics as well as genomic approaches have been fundamental in identifying and quantifying potential targets for future diagnostic strategies in the prevention of bleeding and thrombosis, and uncovering the complexity of platelet functions in health and disease. In this article, we provide a critical overview on current functional tests used in diagnostics and the future perspectives for platelet proteomics in clinical applications.
Expert commentary: Proteomics represents a valuable tool for the identification of patients with diverse platelet associated defects. In-depth validation of identified biomarkers, e.g. receptors, signaling proteins, post-translational modifications, in large cohorts is decisive for translation into routine clinical diagnostics. 相似文献

Areas covered: This review discusses recent trends in proteomics and introduces new and developing approaches that can be applied to the study of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) underlying bacterial pathogenesis. The approaches examined encompass options for mapping proteomes as well as stable and transient interactions in vivo and in vitro. We also explored the coverage of bacterial and human-bacterial PPIs, knowledge gaps in this area, and how they can be filled.
Expert commentary: Identifying potential antimicrobial candidates is confounded by the complex molecular biology of bacterial pathogenesis and the lack of knowledge about PPIs underlying this process. Proteomics approaches can offer new perspectives for mechanistic insights and identify essential targets for guiding the discovery of next generation antimicrobials. 相似文献
Objective: To study neopterin, protein carbonyl and malondialdehyde (MDA) in EPTB.
Methods: Sixty nine clinically confirmed cases with an equal number of age and sex matched healthy controls were enrolled. Ziehl–Neelsen staining for acid fast bacilli and culture on Lowenstein–Jensen medium were performed on all the extrapulmonary specimens. Serum neopterin and protein carbonyl levels were estimated using commercial ELISA kits. Malondialdehyde was determined by measuring thiobarbituric acid reactive substances.
Results: Serum neopterin, protein carbonyl and MDA levels were significantly discriminative for cases of EPTB from healthy controls (p?<?0.05). Levels of all the three biomarkers under study significantly differed between culture as well as smear positive and negative cases. A positive correlation between neopterin and protein carbonyl was seen among the cases.
Conclusions: So far few studies have integrated combination of validated host biomarkers for active disease in EPTB. Our study suggests the potential diagnostic role of neopterin, protein carbonyl and MDA in EPTB. 相似文献

Areas covered: Here, we report a general introduction about the systems biology approach and mechanistic insights recently obtained by over-representation analysis of proteomics data of cellular and animal models of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, as well as of affected human tissues.
Expert commentary: As an inductive method, proteomics is based on unbiased observations that further require validation of generated hypotheses. Pathway databases and over-representation analysis tools allow researchers to assign an expectation value to pathogenetic mechanisms linked to neurodegenerative diseases. The systems biology approach based on omics data may be the key to unravel the complex mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration. 相似文献
Areas covered: Summarized are the key immunology findings obtained with MS-based proteomics in the past five years, with a focus on inflammasome activation, global protein secretion, mucosal immunology, immunopeptidome and T cells. Special focus is on extracellular vesicle-mediated protein secretion and its role in immune responses.
Expert commentary: Proteomics is an essential part of modern omics-scale immunology research. To date, MS-based proteomics has been used in immunology to study protein expression levels, their subcellular localization, secretion, post-translational modifications, and interactions in immune cells upon activation by different stimuli. These studies have made major contributions to understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in innate and adaptive immune responses. New developments in proteomics offer constantly novel possibilities for exploring the immune system. Examples of these techniques include mass cytometry and different MS-based imaging approaches which can be widely used in immunology. 相似文献

Areas covered: In this review, we introduce the phenomenon of bacterial persistence, review previous proteomics studies on persisters, discuss challenges in studying persisters by proteomics, and provide future perspectives in applying proteomics to study persisters.
Expert opinion: Despite the potential, there are limited attempts of applying proteomics to study persisters in the literature, partly due to the technical challenges involved. However, with recent advances, such as the discovery of new methods for persister enrichment and isolation, this is the most opportune time to apply proteomics to tackle this high-impact problem of bacterial persistence. 相似文献
