How Can Proteomics Fulfill the Unmet Needs of Effective Drug Treatment Stratification for Patients with Ovarian Cancer?

Location: De Anza

Stefani Thomas, PhD, DABCC, NRCC

University of Minnesota

The mutational status of a solid tumor can predict the therapeutic efficacy of a specific drug in a molecularly defined subset of patients. Targeted therapies are available to treat advanced (stage II – IV) ovarian cancer with mutations in BRCA1/2 genes. Unfortunately, there is considerable inter-patient heterogeneity in BRCA1/2–based determinations of drug treatment sensitivity. Determining the proteome-level mechanisms of drug treatment sensitivity could enhance our ability to select the ovarian cancer patient populations that would benefit the most from these targeted therapies, consequently improving survival and overall treatment response. Our laboratory is applying mass spectrometry-based proteomics to identify protein signatures of drug treatment sensitivity and subsequent patient stratification for treatment. This presentation will provide an overview of the experimental models and analytical approaches that we are utilizing toward a long-term goal of identifying prognostic protein biomarkers of drug treatment sensitivity in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer.

N-linked Glycans in Human Disease: From New Tools to Translational and Preclinical Studies

Location: De Anza

Peggi Angel, PhD

MUSC Proteomics Center

N-glycosylation plays a significant role in immune cell recruitment, influences disease progression and outcome and response to therapy. Here, we discuss simplified workflows capable of reporting N-glycan expression patterns in tissues, cells and biofluids. We present translational and pre-clinical work investigating glycosylation patterns in cardiovascular disease, cancer risk and cancer. A long-term goal is to leverage glycosylation patterns to non-invasively monitor disease status and therapeutic efficacy.
