Title:Rapid proteomic analysis for solid tumors reveals LSD1 as a drug target in an end-stage cancer patient
Creators Name:Doll, S. and Kriegmair, M.C. and Santos, A. and Wierer, M. and Coscia, F. and Neil, H.M. and Porubsky, S. and Geyer, P.E. and Mund, A. and Nuhn, P. and Mann, M.
Abstract:Recent advances in mass spectrometry (MS)-based technologies are now set to transform translational cancer proteomics from an idea to a practice. Here, we present a robust proteomic workflow for the analysis of clinically relevant human cancer tissues that allows quantitation of thousands of tumor proteins in several hours of measuring time and a total turnaround of a few days. We applied it to a chemorefractory metastatic case of the extremely rare urachal carcinoma. Quantitative comparison of lung metastases and surrounding tissue revealed several significantly upregulated proteins, among them lysine-specific histone demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A). LSD1 is an epigenetic regulator and the target of active development efforts in oncology. Thus, clinical cancer proteomics can rapidly and efficiently identify actionable therapeutic options. While currently described for a single case study, we envision that it can be applied broadly to other patients in a similar condition.
