Screening for the Key Proteins Associated with Rete Testis Invasion in Clinical Stage I Seminoma via Label-Free Quantitative Mass Spectrometry
Rete testis invasion (RTI) is an unfavourable prognostic factor for the risk of relapse in clinical stage I (CS I) seminoma patients. Notably, no evidence of difference in the proteome of RTI-positive vs. -negative CS I seminomas has been reported yet. Here, a quantitative proteomic approach was use...

| Sumario: | Rete testis invasion (RTI) is an unfavourable prognostic factor for the risk of relapse in clinical stage I (CS I) seminoma patients. Notably, no evidence of difference in the proteome of RTI-positive vs. -negative CS I seminomas has been reported yet. Here, a quantitative proteomic approach was used to investigate RTI-associated proteins. 64 proteins were differentially expressed in RTI-positive compared to -negative CS I seminomas. Of them, 14-3-3γ, ezrin, filamin A, Parkinsonism-associated deglycase 7 (PARK7), vimentin and vinculin, were validated in CS I seminoma patient cohort. As shown by multivariate analysis controlling for clinical confounders, PARK7 and filamin A expression lowered the risk of RTI, while 14-3-3γ expression increased it. Therefore, we suggest that in real clinical biopsy specimens, the expression level of these proteins may reflect prognosis in CS I seminoma patients. |
