Assessment of a Large-Scale Unbiased Malignant Pleural Effusion Proteomics Stud...
Zahedi, S; Carvalho, AS; Ejtehadifar, M; Beck, HC; Rei, N; Luís, A; Borralho, P; Bugalho, A; Matthiesen, RBackground: Pleural effusion (PE) is common in advanced-stage lung cancer patients and is related to poor prognosis. Identification of cancer cells is the standard method for the diagnosis of a malignant PE (MPE). However, it only has moderate sensitivity. Thus, more sensitive diagnostic tools are urgently needed. Methods: The present study aimed to discover potential protein targets to distinguish malignant pl...
Is the proteome of bronchoalveolar lavage extracellular vesicles a marker of ad...
Carvalho, AS; Moraes, MCS; Na, CH; Fierro-Monti, I; Henriques, A; Zahedi, S; Bodo, C; Tranfield, EM; Sousa, AL; Farinho, A; Rodrigues, LV; Pinto, PAcellular bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) proteomics can partially separate lung cancer from non-lung cancer patients based on principal component analysis and multivariate analysis. Furthermore, the variance in the proteomics data sets is correlated mainly with lung cancer status and, to a lesser extent, smoking status and gender. Despite these advances BAL small and large extracellular vehicles (EVs) proteomes r...
