Proteins congregate into complexes to perform diverse cellular functions. Protein complexes are remodeled by protein-coding mutations or cellular signaling changes, driving phenotypic outcomes in health and disease. We present an affinity purification-mass spectrometry (AP-MS) proteomics protocol to express affinity-tagged "bait" proteins in mammalian cells, identify and quantify purified protein interactors, and visualize differential protein-protein interaction networks between pairwise conditions. Our protocol possesses general applicability to various cell types and biological areas. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Bouhaddou et al..

Background: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis, molecular heterogeneity, and therapy resistance. Key biomarkers such as EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and PD-1 have revolutionized precision oncology; however, comprehensive structural and clinical validation of these targets is crucial to enhance therapeutic efficacy.
Methods: Protein sequences for EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and PD-1 were retrieved from UniProt and modeled using SWISS-MODEL to generate high-confidence 3D structures.

Purpose: This study aimed to conduct functional proteomics across breast cancer subtypes with bioinformatics analyses.
Methods: Candidate proteins were identified using nanoscale liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (NanoLC-MS/MS) from core needle biopsy samples of early stage (0-III) breast cancers, followed by external validation with public domain gene-expression datasets (TCGA TARGET GTEx and TCGA BRCA).
Results: Seventeen proteins demonstrated significantly differential expression and protein-protein interaction (PPI) found the strong networks including COL2A1, COL11A1, COL6A1, COL6A2, THBS1 and LUM.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory disease. However, the biological role of mitochondrial metabolism (MM) in COPD remains poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms of MM in COPD using bioinformatics methods.

Background: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) have been known to provide important information on disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers a large reservoir of bioactive compounds that could modulate at these targets. This study is an attempt to investigate the biomarkers in Sepsis and COVID-19 using gene expression analysis and molecular modeling validation of TCM-derived candidate compounds targeting key DEGs associated with sepsis.

Objective: Eukaryotic elongation factor 1 gamma (EEF1G) has emerged as a potential prognostic marker in various malignancies. Yet, its association with breast cancer (BC) prognosis, particularly in the context of body mass index (BMI) status, remains unexplored. Therefore, we investigated the prognostic value and role of EEF1G in BC across different BMI categories.
