  Abstract

Motivation: On the histological level the differentiation of normal epithelial tissues is well known and also the phenomenon of dedifferentiation which occurs the more the cells develop towards malignancy. To identify an epithelial tumor-specific proteomic profile as well as to measure the proximities between we used data from tumor tissue and adjacent normal tissue microdissected from head and neck and colon cancer samples which were analyzed using ProteinChip technology and performed a bioinformatic meta-analysis on the resulting four complex data sets.

Results: All four groups could be identified based on their proteomic signatures and the tumor tissues were found to be more similar to one another than to the normal epithelial tissue from which they progressed. This study shows at the proteomic level that changes in the histological features of tumors as compared to the tissues from which they arise are reflected in the convergence of proteomic pattern during the development to cancer.
