High-risk endometrial cancer proteomic profiling reveals that FBXW7 mutation alters L1CAM and TGM2 protein levels.

ABSTRACT:

Background

FBXW7 is frequently somatically mutated in grade 3 endometrioid endometrial cancers (G3EECs) and serous endometrial cancers (SECs), which are high-risk cancers associated with poor outcomes and in need of novel treatment options. The aim of this study was to determine the proteomic effects of 3 FBXW7 mutations in high-risk endometrial cancers (ECs).

Methods

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) editing was used to generate 3 HEC-50B G3EEC derivative cell lines, each of which harbored 1 FBXW7 mutation, and to revert an endogenous FBXW7 mutation in HEC-1-B grade 2 endometrioid endometrial cancer (G2EEC) cells to the wild-type genotype. Proteomic profiling based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine prote
