Abstract
The wide dynamic range of serum proteome restrained discovery of clinically interested proteins in large cohort studies. Herein, we presented a high-sensitivity, high-throughput, and precise pan-targeted serum proteomic strategy for highly efficient cancer serum proteomic research and biomarker discovery. We constructed a resource of over 2000 cancer-secreted proteins, and the standard MS assays and spectra of at least one synthetic unique peptide per protein were acquired and documented (Cancer Serum Atlas, www.cancerserumatlas.com). Then, the standard peptide-anchored parallel reaction monitoring (SPA-PRM) method was developed with support of the Cancer Serum Atlas, achieving precise quantification of cancer-secreted proteins with high throughput and sensitivity. We directly quantified 325 cancer-related serum proteins in 288 serums of four cancer types (liver, stomach, lung, breast) and controls with the pan-targeted strategy and discovered considerable potential biomarker benefits for early detection of cancer. Finally, a proteomic-based multicancer detection model was built, demonstrating high sensitivity (87.2%) and specificity (100%), with 73.8% localization accuracy for an independent test set. In conclusion, the Cancer Serum Atlas provides a wide range of potential biomarkers that serve as targets and standard assays for systematic and highly efficient serological studies of cancer. The Cancer Serum Atlas-supported pan-targeted proteomic strategy enables highly efficient biomarker discovery and multicancer detection and thus can be a powerful tool for liquid biopsy.
