Article Abstract

The interpretation of proteomics data often relies on functional enrichment analysis, such as Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment, to uncover the biological functions of proteins, as well as the examination of protein expression patterns across data sets like the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) database. However, conventional approaches to functional enrichment frequently produce extensive and redundant term lists, complicating interpretation and synthesis. Moreover, the absence of specialized tools tailored to proteomics researchers limits the efficient exploration of protein expression within specific biological contexts. To address these challenges, we developed , a user-friendly web-based tool designed to advance proteomics data interpretation. integrates topic modeling using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) with GO semantic similarity analysis, enabling the consolidation of redundant terms into coherent topics. These topics are further refined and reannotated using the GPT-4o language model, creating a novel topics database that provides precise and interpretable insights into shared biological functions. Additionally, incorporates quantitative proteomic data from 10 diverse cancer types archived in the CPTAC database, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of protein expression profiles from a data-driven perspective. Through detailed case studies, we demonstrate the tool's capacity to streamline workflows, simplify interpretation, and provide actionable biological insights. represents a significant advancement in proteomics data analysis, offering innovative solutions for functional annotation, quantitative exploration, and visualization, ultimately empowering researchers to accelerate discoveries in systems biology and beyond.

Background: Subcellular localisation is a determining factor of protein function. Mass spectrometry-based correlation profiling experiments facilitate the classification of protein subcellular localisation on a proteome-wide scale. In turn, static localisations can be compared across conditions to identify differential protein localisation events.

Purpose: Hormonal contraceptives are linked to a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms. Given their popularity in Western countries, understanding the biochemical effects on neuronal cells is crucial to minimizing mental health risks.

Experimental Design: Neural progenitor cells were treated with ethinyl estradiol (EE) and levonorgestrel (LNG), two synthetic sex hormones commonly used in oral contraception, and S-23, a selective androgen receptor modulator developed as a potential synthetic sex hormone for male hormonal contraception.

Clinical Alzheimer's disease is currently characterized by cerebral β-amyloidosis associated with cognitive impairment. However, most cases of Alzheimer's disease are associated with multiple neuropathologies at autopsy. The peripheral protein changes associated with these disease endophenotypes are poorly understood.

Background: The proteome is a valuable resource for pinpointing therapeutic targets. Therefore, we conducted a proteome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed at identifying potential protein markers and therapeutic targets for Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis (NMDAR-E).

Methods: Protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) were obtained from seven published genome-wide association studies (GWASs) focusing on the plasma proteome, resulting in summary-level data for 734 circulating protein markers.

Background: Early diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remains challenging, but liquid biopsy is emerging as a promising detection strategy. Here, we identified a novel bile biomarker for CCA and developed an optic fiber biosensor integrated with digestive endoscopy for real-time diagnosis in vivo.

Methods: A total of 583 subjects and two proteomic analyses were used to screen and validate biomarkers for CCA, and then the corresponding antibodies were generated to construct a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based optic fiber biosensor.
