Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a severe threat to human health. The NET-1 protein has been proved to be strongly associated with HCC proliferation and metastasis in our previous study. Methods: Here, we developed a label-free proteome mass spectrometry workflow to analyze formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded HCC xenograft samples collected in our previous study. Results: The result showed that 78 proteins were differentially expressed after NET-1 protein inhibited. Among them, the expression of 61 proteins up-regulated and the expression of 17 proteins were significantly down-regulated. Of the differentially expressed proteins, the vast majority of Gene Ontology enrichment terms belong to the biological process. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the 78 differentially expressed proteins significantly enriched in 45 pathways. We concluded that the function of the NET-1 gene is not only to regulate HCC but also to participate in a variety of biochemical metabolic pathways in the human body. Furthermore, the protein-protein interaction analysis indicated that the interactions of differentially expressed proteins are incredibly sophisticated. All the protein-protein interactions happened after the NET-1 gene has been silenced. Conclusions: Finally, our study also provides a useful proposal for targeted therapy based on tetraspanin proteins to treat HCC, and further mechanism investigations are needed to reveal a more detailed mechanism of action for NET-1 protein regulation of HCC.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer mortality. Currently used CRC biomarkers provide insufficient sensitivity and specificity; therefore, novel biomarkers are needed to improve the CRC detection. Label-free quantitative proteomics were used to identify and compare glycoproteins, enriched by wheat germ agglutinin, from plasma of CRC patients and age-matched healthy controls. Among 189 identified glycoproteins, the levels of 7 and 15 glycoproteins were significantly altered in the non-metastatic and metastatic CRC groups, respectively. Protein-protein interaction analysis revealed that they were predominantly involved in immune responses, complement pathways, wound healing and coagulation. Of these, the levels of complement C9 (C9) was increased and fibronectin (FN1) was decreased in both CRC states in comparison to those of the healthy controls. Moreover, their levels detected by immunoblotting were validated in another independent cohort and the results were consistent with in the study cohort. Combination of CEA, a commercial CRC biomarker, with C9 and FN1 showed better diagnostic performance. Interestingly, predominant glycoforms associated with acetylneuraminic acid were obviously detected in alpha-2 macroglobulin, haptoglobin, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1, and complement C4-A of CRC patient groups. This glycoproteomic approach provides invaluable information of plasma proteome profiles of CRC patients and identification of CRC biomarker candidates.
