Multidimensional protein identification technology analysis highlights mitoxantrone‐induced expression modulations in the primary prostate cancer cell proteome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Chemotherapeutic agents as they are used today have limited effectiveness against prostate cancer, but may potentially be used in new combinations with more efficacious results. Mitoxantrone, used for palliation of prostate cancer, has recently been found by our group to improve the susceptibility of primary prostate cancer cells to killing through the Fas-mediated death pathway. Here we used a shotgun proteomics approach to first profile the entire prostate cancer proteome and then identify specific factors involved in this mitoxantrone response. Peptides derived from primary prostate cancer cells treated with or without 100 nM mitoxantrone were analyzed by multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT). Strict limits and data filtering hierarchies were applied to identify proteins with high confidence. We identified 1498 proteins belonging to the prostate cancer proteome, 83 of which were significantly upregulated and 27 of which were markedly downregulated following mitoxantrone treatment. These proteins perform diverse functions, including ceramide production, tumour suppression, and oxidative reduction. Detailed proteomic analyses of prostate cancer cells and their response to mitoxantrone will further our understanding of its mechanisms of action. Identification of proteins influenced by treatment with mitoxantrone or other compounds may lead to the development of more effective drug combinations against prostate cancer.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
