Title: Toward causality in clinical proteomics: advantages and challenges of highly specific tools
Description:
Remarkable advancements in high-plex technology have recently brought proteomics to the forefront for both clinical care and research applications in precision medicine. While this exciting progress has made large-scale population profiling a reality for further development and implementation in clinical contexts, many challenges remain to establish utility of proteomics-based tools in disease treatment and prevention, including for diagnostic, predictive, and prognostic purposes. In this session, leaders from across clinical proteomics fields will share their diverse experiences over the last several years in selecting and utilizing suitable methods that can not only define molecular mechanisms and physiological pathways associated with health and disease states, but also robustly identify protein signatures that accurately and reproducibly reflect clinical phenotypes and predict outcomes. Important factors emerging from previous work in clinical populations related to study design, breadth of platform coverage and sensitivity to protein structure, complementarity of mass spectrometry and affinity-based methods, and analytical and pipeline considerations for model development and validation will also be discussed.
You will learn about:
High-plex proteomics methods used for translational applications in large clinical populations and complementarity with other approaches
Statistical and machine learning approaches for developing protein models that reflect clinical phenotypes to predict outcomes and risk-stratify populations

Title: Next generation pan-cancer blood proteome profiling using proximity extension assay
Description: Cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease in need of accurate and non-invasive diagnostic tools. Here, we describe a novel strategy to explore the proteome signature by comprehensive analysis of protein levels using a pan-cancer approach of patients representing the major cancer types. Plasma profiles of 1,463 proteins from more than 1,500 cancer patients representing altogether 12 common cancer types were measured in minute amounts of blood plasma collected at the time of diagnosis and before treatment. AI-based disease prediction models allowed for the identification of a set of proteins associated with each of the analyzed cancers. By combining the results from all cancer types, a panel of proteins suitable for the identification of all individual cancer types was defined. The results are presented in a new open access Human Disease Blood Atlas. The implication for cancer precision medicine of next generation plasma profiling is discussed.

Title: En Route to Confident Results – One Plate Sample Preparation of Proteins from Complex Biological Matrices
Description:
Understanding the complex role that the proteome plays in different diseases is paramount to the development of next generation treatment modalities and being able to accurately monitor protein biomarkers is essential for patient care. Large scale application of proteomics in clinical research and testing requires robust, reproducible, and fast sample preparation methods that result in high quality purified protein samples.
While the end-detection analytical tools (such as liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to Mass Spectrometry (MS)) have undergone significant advancements in the last decade and half, technology involved in the preparation of samples compatible with these instruments has not experienced the same progress. Adaptive Focused Acoustics® (AFA®) Technology has been the gold standard for DNA shearing in almost every Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) laboratory and is now gaining unprecedented popularity as the sample preparation technology for a host of Proteomics and protein analysis workflow.
This workshop will highlight the application of AFA to clinical proteomics sample preparation workflows resulting in robust, fast, scalable, high throughput extraction of protein from complex biological matrices including FFPE tissue and fresh cells. A scalable FFPE sample preparation method utilized for a targeted assay for the relative quantitation of immunoglobulins in FFPE bone marrow biopsies will be discussed. Additionally, a workflow developed for the lysis of fresh white blood cells, extraction of protein, and rapid digestion will be shown. The workflows discussed can be easily implemented to enhance reproducibility of sample preparation for LC-MS analysis. This in turn significantly decreases turnaround time of results. In addition, AFA based workflows can be used for supporting high throughput automatable pre-analytical processes.
Confident results depend upon reliable sample preparation processes whether the goal is to better understand signaling pathways in model systems or determining pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of a biotherapeutic. The presentations in this workshop will demonstrate the capabilities of AFA for development of robust, reliable, and confident workflows for protein extraction and LC-MS compatible sample preparation from complex biological matrices.
