Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin. A substantial portion of these tumors exhibits complex karyotypes and lack characterized chromosomal aberrations. Owing to such properties, both histopathological and molecular classification of these tumors has been a significant challenge. This study examines the protein expression of a large number of human softtissue sarcomas, including subtype heterogeneity, using 2D-gel proteomics. In addition, detailed proteome profiles of a subset of pleomorphic STS specimens using an in-depth mass-spectrometry approach and identified subgroups within the leiomyosarcomas with distinct protein expression patterns. Pathways analysis indicates that key biological nodes like... (More)
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin. A substantial portion of these tumors exhibits complex karyotypes and lack characterized chromosomal aberrations. Owing to such properties, both histopathological and molecular classification of these tumors has been a significant challenge. This study examines the protein expression of a large number of human softtissue sarcomas, including subtype heterogeneity, using 2D-gel proteomics. In addition, detailed proteome profiles of a subset of pleomorphic STS specimens using an in-depth mass-spectrometry approach and identified subgroups within the leiomyosarcomas with distinct protein expression patterns. Pathways analysis indicates that key biological nodes like apoptosis, cytoskeleton remodeling and telomere regulation are differentially regulated among these subgroups. Finally, investigating the Kirik et al. Protein profiling of leiomyosarcoma Page 2 of 24 similarities between protein expression of leiomyosarcomas and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (UPS) revealed similar protein expression profiles for these tumors, in comparison to pleomorphic leiomyosarcomas. Implications: These results suggest that UPS tumors share a similar lineage as leiomyosarcomas, and are likely to originate from different stages of differentiation from mesenchymal stem cells to smooth muscle cells.
