We performed comprehensive proteogenomic characterization of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) using paired tumors and adjacent lung tissues from 112 treatment-naive patients who underwent surgical resection. Integrated multi-omics analysis illustrated cancer biology downstream of genetic aberrations and highlighted oncogenic roles of FAT1 mutation, RB1 deletion, and chromosome 5q loss. Two prognostic biomarkers, HMGB3 and CASP10, were identified. Overexpression of HMGB3 promoted SCLC cell migration via transcriptional regulation of cell junction-related genes. Immune landscape characterization revealed an association between ZFHX3 mutation and high immune infiltration and underscored a potential immunosuppressive role of elevated DNA damage response activity via inhibition of the cGAS-STING pathway. Multi-omics clustering identified four subtypes with subtype-specific therapeutic vulnerabilities. Cell line and patient-derived xenograft-based drug tests validated the specific therapeutic responses predicted by multi-omics subtyping. This study provides a valuable resource as well as insights to better understand SCLC biology and improve clinical practice.

Understanding the genomic basis of human proteomic variability provides powerful tools to probe potential causal relationships of proteins and disease risk, and thus to prioritise candidate drug targets. Here, we investigated 6432 plasma proteins (1533 previously unstudied in large-scale proteomic GWAS) using the SomaLogic (v4.1) aptamer-based technology in a Scottish population from the Viking Genes study.

This special volume of Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Basis of Disease showcases a transformative era in biomedical research, driven by the convergence of multi-omics technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and systems biology. The volume is focused across eight thematic sections-spanning cancer, inflammatory and infectious diseases, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular health, autophagy, respiratory disease, and heme biology-this volume highlights how integrative methodologies are helping to simplify the complexity of disease mechanisms. These studies discuss not only biomarker discovery and disease mechanisms, but also how redox biology, lipidomics, machine learning, and proteogenomics are redefining pathophysiological frameworks.

Interspecies interactions shape microbial communities; this is central for microbial ecology. PlyA2 is a marine flavobacterium, which glides over surfaces and forms ordered, structurally coloured colonies, which display angle-dependent reflection of light. SW is an apparently nonmotile, nonstructurally coloured marine bacterium.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with a multifactorial etiology involving genetic and environmental factors. Advanced proteomics offers valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of cancer, identifying proteins that function as mediators in tumor biology.
Methods: In this study, we used mass spectrometry-based data-independent acquisition (DIA) to analyze the proteomic landscape of CRC.

When SARS-CoV-2 became regional epidemics, a substantial number of patients suffered from post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC, aka long COVID). Exploring the pathogenesis and especially the heterogenicity features of long COVID subgroups is of paramount importance for understanding its etiology. In this study, through integrative multi-omics analyses encompassing transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, long COVID patients exhibited overall elevated MAPK pathway activation, while patients who have recovered from long COVID showed down-regulation of this response.
