The relationship between the microbial changes with clinical-pathological outcomes are still far from being conclusive. Herein, we investigate the ability of metagenomics (MG) and metaproteomics (MP) saliva data in distinguishing C, L0 and L1 patients. For that, we combined two strategies using MG a...
Protease activity has been associated with pathological processes that can lead to cancer development and progression. However, understanding the pathological unbalance in proteolysis is challenging since changes can occur simultaneously at protease, their inhibitor and substrate levels. Here, we pr...
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) shows high mortality rates that are largely associated with the presence of lymph node metastasis. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive OSCC metastasis are unknown. Here, we used a reductionist approach mapping the proteomic, miRNA, metabolomic and lipidom...
Protease activity has been associated with pathological processes that can lead to cancer development and progression. However, understanding the pathological unbalance in proteolysis is challenging since changes can occur simultaneously at protease, their inhibitor and substrate levels. In this wor...
While altered protein glycosylation is regarded a trait of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), its heterogeneous glycoproteome and dynamics with disease progression remain unmapped. Employing an integrated multi-omics approach comprising unbiased and quantitative glycomics and glycoproteomics on re...
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been recently linked to a subset of cancers affecting the oral cavity. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying HPV-driven oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) onset and/ progression are poorly understood. Methods: We perform a MS-based proteomic profiling...
Laser Microdissection (LMD) associated to LC-MS/MS were used to analyze the proteome of neoplastic islands and stroma tumor of Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) OSCC tissues to identify proteins of prognostic value. Label-free protein quantification and statistical analysis revealed neopla...
Human saliva has been commonly used as protein source in in vitro microbiological and biological assays to mimic the protein pellicle formation, termed acquired salivary pellicle, that precedes microbial and cell adhesion on surfaces exposed to the oral environment. However, saliva requires previous...
