Proteomics profiling of tissue specimens representative for major types of thyroid cancers: papillary (classical and follicular variant), follicular, anaplastic and medullary, as well as benign follicular adenoma, was performed using shotgun LC-MS/MS approaches. A combination of Orbitrap and MALDI-TOF approach allowed to identify protein products of 3700 unique genes and revealed large differences between medullary, anaplastic and epithelium-derived differentiated cancers (papillary and follicular). Proteins characteristic for medullary and anaplastic cancers included factors associated with neuroendocrine functions and factors typically associated with advanced malignancies, respectively. Proteomes of different types of epithelium-derived differentiated cancers and follicular adenoma were compared using multi-enzyme LC-MS/MS approach, which revealed products of 4800 unique genes. A comparable overall similarity of follicular cancers to both variants of papillary cancers was found. Moreover, follicular adenoma showed higher overall similarity to follicular cancer than to either variant of papillary cancer. Proteins discriminating differentiated thyroid neoplasms included factors associated with lipid and hormone metabolism, regulation of gene expression and maintenance of DNA structure. Importantly, proteome data matched several features of transcriptome and metabolome profiles of thyroid cancers contributing to systems biology of this malignancy.
