Mass Spectrometry-Based Workflow for the Identification and Quantification of Alternative and Canonical Proteins in Pancreatic Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: The identification of small proteins and proteins produced from unannotated open reading frames (called alternative proteins or AltProts) has changed our vision of the proteome and has attracted more and more attention from the scientific community. Despite several studies investigating particular AltProts in diseases and demonstrating their importance in such context, we are still missing data on their expression and functions in many pathologies. Among these, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a particularly relevant case to study alternative proteins. Indeed, late detection of this disease, notably due to the lack of reliable biomarkers of early-stage PDAC, and the fact that tumors rapidly develop resistance to most of the treatments used in the clinics warrant the exploration o
