    Abstract Clinical tissue archives represent an invaluable source of biological information. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue can be used for retrospective investigation of biomarkers of diseases and prognosis.Recently, the number of studies using proteome profiling of samples from clinical archives has markedly increased. However, the application of conventional quantitative proteomics technologies remains a challenge mainly due to the harsh fixation process resulting in protein cross-linking and protein degradation. In the present chapter, we demonstrate a protocol for label-free proteomic analysis of FFPE tissue prepared from human cardiac autopsies. The data presented here highlight the applicability and suitability of FFPE heart tissue for understanding the molecular mechanism of cardiac injury using a proteomics approach.

    Abstract Glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSLCs) in glioblastoma limit effective treatment and promote therapeutic resistance and tumor recurrence. Using a combined radiation and drug-screening platform, we tested the combination of a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) and MAPK/ERK kinase inhibitor (MEKi) with radiation to predict the efficacy against GSLCs. To mimic a stem-like phenotype, glioblastoma-derived spheres were used and treated with a combination of HDACi (MS-275) and MEKi (TAK-733 or trametinib) with 4 Gy irradiation. The sphere-forming ability after the combined radiochemotherapy was investigated using a sphere formation assay, while the expression levels of the GSLC markers (CD44, Nestin and SOX2) after treatment were analyzed using Western blotting and flow cytometry. The combined radiochemotherapy treatment inhibited the sphere formation in both glioblastoma-derived spheres, decreased the expression of the GSLC markers in a cell-line dependent manner and increased the dead cell population. Finally, we showed that the combined treatment with radiation was more effective at reducing the GSLC markers compared to the standard treatment of temozolomide and radiation. These results suggest that combining HDAC and MEK inhibition with radiation may offer a new strategy to improve the treatment of glioblastoma.

    Abstract Exposure of tumourous tissue to ionizing radiation initiates a wound-healing response involving remodelling of the extracellular microenvironment. The initial reaction involves direct damage to the matrix proteins and the secretion and activation of proteolytic enzymes that lead to local destruction of the extracellular matrix. Subsequently the wounded area may undergo complete repair, may enter a prolonged period of heightened proteolysis, or may overproduce matrix proteins leading to fibrosis. The source of matrix degrading enzymatic activity may be the tumour cells and the tumour stroma. Additional complexity is provided by proteolytic activity released from tissue macrophages, mast cells and by invading inflammatory cells. The local production of growth factors, including VEGF and TGF-β play a key role in coordinating the response. It is anticipated that the application of modern proteomic technologies will reveal hitherto unrecognised levels of complexity in these processes. Hopefully this will lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies to prevent long-term health implications of radiation exposure.

    Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are freely circulating nano/micrometer-sized membrane-bound vesicles released by various cell types. Their cargo consists of proteins, lipids, metabolites, and different types of RNA molecules reflecting the origin of the secreting cell type or tissue. Since the EV cargo is constantly changing in response to pathological status or different environmental stressors, it has been extensively studied in the quest for biomarkers, especially in the cancer research. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteome analysis is a powerful tool to elucidate the protein cargo in EVs. This chapter describes and characterizes three MS-compatible lysis methods, namely by using urea, guanidium hydrochloride, and radioimmunoprecipitation buffer for isolating proteins from EVs.

    Abstract Here we present a method to detect and quantify long non-coding RNAs, in particular those related to telomeres. By coupling the specificity of a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe with flow cytometry we have quantified cellular levels of TERRA and TERC lncRNAs in culture cell lines and PBMCs. This easy-to-use method appointed RNA-Flow allows reliable lncRNA quantification with broad applications in basic research and clinical diagnostics. In addition, the staining protocol presented here was proven useful for the detection and quantification of such lncRNAs on unfixed cells using confocal microscopy.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Increased levels of the chaperone protein GRP78 have been implicated in poorer outcomes of cancer therapy. We have therefore explored the functional connection between the expression of GRP78 and the development of radioresistance and metastatic behavior in HNSCC.
    Material and methods: The association between gene expression of GRP78 and survival in HNSCC patients was examined using the TCGA database. The influence of ionizing radiation on the GRP78 levels in HNSCC cell lines, their secreted extracellular vesicles (EV) and non-irradiated EV-recipient cells was investigated by Western Blot and FACS. The consequences of chemical inhibition or experimental overexpression of GRP78 on radioresistance and migration of HNSCC cells were analyzed by clonogenic survival and gap closure assays.
    Results: Elevated levels of GRP78 RNA in HNSCC correlated with poorer overall survival. Radiation increased GRP78 protein expression on the surface of HNSCC cell lines. Experimental overexpression of GRP78 increased both radioresistance and migratory potential. Chemical inhibition of GRP78 impaired cell migration. EVs were identified as a potential source of increased GRP78 content as elevated levels of surface GRP78 were found in EVs released by irradiated cells. These vesicles transferred GRP78 to non-irradiated recipient cells during co-cultivation.
    Conclusions: We have identified the chaperone protein GRP78 as a potential driver of increased radioresistance and motility in HNSCC. The uptake of GRP78-rich EVs originating from irradiated cells may contribute to a poorer prognosis through bystander effects mediated by the transfer of GRP78 to non-irradiated cells. Therefore, we consider the chaperone protein GRP78 to be an attractive target for improving radiotherapy strategies.
