Cancer, as a major contributor to global chronic disease burden, is closely related to low-oxygen stress. Traditional proteomic approaches have been used to study cancer mechanisms associated with oxygen deprivation, but clinical therapeutic outcomes have been limited. Therefore, the development of new strategies and technologies is crucial for multi-target drug discovery.
Cancer is one of the largest contributors to the burden of chronic disease in the world and is the second leading cause of death globally. It is associated with episodes of low-oxygen stress (hypoxia or ischemia/reperfusion) that promotes cancer progression and therapeutic resistance. Efforts have been made in the past using traditional proteomic approaches to decipher oxygen deprivation stress-related mechanisms of the disease initiation and progression and to identify key proteins as a therapeutic target for the treatment and prevention. Despite the potential benefits of proteomic in translational research for the discovery of new drugs, the therapeutic outcome with this approach has not met expectations in clinical trials. This is mainly due to the disease complexity which possess a multifaceted molecular pathology. Therefore, novel strategies to identify and characterize clinically important sets of modulators and molecular events for multi-target drug discovery are needed. Here, we review important past and current studies on proteomics in cancer with an emphasis on recent pioneered labeling approaches in mass spectrometry (MS)-based systematic quantitative analysis to improve clinical success. We also discuss the results of the selected innovative publications that integrate advanced proteomic technologies (e.g. MALDI-MSI, pSILAC/SILAC/iTRAQ/TMT-LC-MS/MS, MRM-MS) for comprehensive analysis of proteome dynamics in different biosystems, including cell type, cell species, and subcellular proteome (i.e. secretome and chromatome). Finally, we discuss the future direction and challenges in the application of these technological advancements in mass spectrometry within the context of cancer and hypoxia.
