The Comparison of Serum Exosome Protein Profile in Diagnosis of NSCLC Patients.

ABSTRACT: A thorough study of the exosomal proteomic cargo may enable the identification of proteins that play an important role in cancer development. The aim of this study was to compare the protein profiles of the serum exosomes derived from non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and healthy volunteers (control) using the high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) method to identify potentially new diagnostic and/or prognostic protein biomarkers. Proteins exclusively identified in NSCLC and control groups were analyzed using several bioinformatic tools and platforms (FunRich, Vesiclepedia, STRING, and TIMER2.0) to find key protein hubs involved in NSCLC progression and the acquisition of metastatic potential. This analysis revealed 150 NSCLC proteins, which are
