bull 1848-present laboratory medicine

bull Laboratory medicine is appreciated as the seat of modern medicine

bull Early lab techniques of diagnosis

bull Observation (palpation taste vision smell hearing)

bull Late 19th century tools Microscope thermometer stethoscope

FOUNDER OF EXPERIMENTAL PHYSIOLOGY ndash GALEN (AD

INFLAMMATION GOOD BAD UGLY

bull Good necessary to promote an immune response in otherwise healthy individuals

bull Bad in allergenic and auto-immunogenic unhealthy individuals

bull Ugly chronic disease and cancer are the result of long-standing chronic inflammation

Inflammation is an incendiary process that if properly detected and treated could save lives

THE START OF INFLAMMATION

bull The start of inflammation depends on the genetics of the host and that individualrsquos response

bull Oxidized pholpholipids are potent stimuli that trigger macrophage recruitment and contribute to both the initiation and progression of chronic inflammation

THE IMPORTANCE OF INFLAMMATION

bull Defined Complex non-linear set of interactions among soluble factors and cells which arise in any tissue in response to traumatic infectious post-ischemic toxic or auto-immune injury

bull Normal inflammatory process leads to recovery but if the targeted destruction and assisted repair are not controlled then inflammation can lead to persistent tissue damage by leukocytes lymphocytes or collagen

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

bull Difficulty with reproducibility across different labs

DEFINITIONS EPIGENETICS

bull Transcripts of DNA or mRNA levels do not reflect expression activity due to post-translational modifications ubiquitination protease cleavage glycosylation phosphorylation methylation and acetylation

Bottom line Protein concentration (and activity) may be different than gene expression due to post-translational modification

INFLAMMATION GOOD BAD UGLY

bull Good necessary to promote an immune response in otherwise healthy individuals

bull Bad in allergenic and auto-immunogenic unhealthy individuals

bull Ugly chronic disease and cancer are the result of long-standing chronic inflammation

Inflammation is an incendiary process that if properly detected and treated could save lives

THE START OF INFLAMMATION

bull The start of inflammation depends on the genetics of the host and that individualrsquos response

bull Oxidized pholpholipids are potent stimuli that trigger macrophage recruitment and contribute to both the initiation and progression of chronic inflammation

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

CURRENT MARKERS EPIGENETIC VS PROTEOMIC

VALUEbull Proteomics show functional disease state since proteins

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

in lung cancer challenges and opportunities Respirology 2007 Jan12(1)22-8 Review PubMed PMID 17207021

bull Difficulty with reproducibility across different labs

DEFINITIONS EPIGENETICS

bull Transcripts of DNA or mRNA levels do not reflect expression activity due to post-translational modifications ubiquitination protease cleavage glycosylation phosphorylation methylation and acetylation

Bottom line Protein concentration (and activity) may be different than gene expression due to post-translational modification

INFLAMMATION GOOD BAD UGLY

bull Good necessary to promote an immune response in otherwise healthy individuals

bull Bad in allergenic and auto-immunogenic unhealthy individuals

bull Ugly chronic disease and cancer are the result of long-standing chronic inflammation

Inflammation is an incendiary process that if properly detected and treated could save lives

THE START OF INFLAMMATION

bull The start of inflammation depends on the genetics of the host and that individualrsquos response

bull Oxidized pholpholipids are potent stimuli that trigger macrophage recruitment and contribute to both the initiation and progression of chronic inflammation

THE IMPORTANCE OF INFLAMMATION

bull Defined Complex non-linear set of interactions among soluble factors and cells which arise in any tissue in response to traumatic infectious post-ischemic toxic or auto-immune injury

bull Normal inflammatory process leads to recovery but if the targeted destruction and assisted repair are not controlled then inflammation can lead to persistent tissue damage by leukocytes lymphocytes or collagen

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

in lung cancer challenges and opportunities Respirology 2007 Jan12(1)22-8 Review PubMed PMID 17207021

bull Difficulty with reproducibility across different labs

DEFINITIONS EPIGENETICS

bull Transcripts of DNA or mRNA levels do not reflect expression activity due to post-translational modifications ubiquitination protease cleavage glycosylation phosphorylation methylation and acetylation

Bottom line Protein concentration (and activity) may be different than gene expression due to post-translational modification

INFLAMMATION GOOD BAD UGLY

bull Good necessary to promote an immune response in otherwise healthy individuals

bull Bad in allergenic and auto-immunogenic unhealthy individuals

bull Ugly chronic disease and cancer are the result of long-standing chronic inflammation

Inflammation is an incendiary process that if properly detected and treated could save lives

THE START OF INFLAMMATION

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

CURRENT MARKERS EPIGENETIC VS PROTEOMIC

VALUEbull Proteomics show functional disease state since proteins

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

in lung cancer challenges and opportunities Respirology 2007 Jan12(1)22-8 Review PubMed PMID 17207021

bull Difficulty with reproducibility across different labs

DEFINITIONS EPIGENETICS

bull Transcripts of DNA or mRNA levels do not reflect expression activity due to post-translational modifications ubiquitination protease cleavage glycosylation phosphorylation methylation and acetylation

Bottom line Protein concentration (and activity) may be different than gene expression due to post-translational modification

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

CURRENT MARKERS EPIGENETIC VS PROTEOMIC

VALUEbull Proteomics show functional disease state since proteins

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

in lung cancer challenges and opportunities Respirology 2007 Jan12(1)22-8 Review PubMed PMID 17207021

bull Difficulty with reproducibility across different labs

DEFINITIONS EPIGENETICS

bull Transcripts of DNA or mRNA levels do not reflect expression activity due to post-translational modifications ubiquitination protease cleavage glycosylation phosphorylation methylation and acetylation

Bottom line Protein concentration (and activity) may be different than gene expression due to post-translational modification

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

CURRENT MARKERS EPIGENETIC VS PROTEOMIC

VALUEbull Proteomics show functional disease state since proteins

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

in lung cancer challenges and opportunities Respirology 2007 Jan12(1)22-8 Review PubMed PMID 17207021

bull Difficulty with reproducibility across different labs

DEFINITIONS EPIGENETICS

bull Transcripts of DNA or mRNA levels do not reflect expression activity due to post-translational modifications ubiquitination protease cleavage glycosylation phosphorylation methylation and acetylation

Bottom line Protein concentration (and activity) may be different than gene expression due to post-translational modification

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

CURRENT MARKERS EPIGENETIC VS PROTEOMIC

VALUEbull Proteomics show functional disease state since proteins

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

in lung cancer challenges and opportunities Respirology 2007 Jan12(1)22-8 Review PubMed PMID 17207021

bull Difficulty with reproducibility across different labs

DEFINITIONS EPIGENETICS

bull Transcripts of DNA or mRNA levels do not reflect expression activity due to post-translational modifications ubiquitination protease cleavage glycosylation phosphorylation methylation and acetylation

Bottom line Protein concentration (and activity) may be different than gene expression due to post-translational modification

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

bull Difficulty with reproducibility across different labs

DEFINITIONS EPIGENETICS

bull Transcripts of DNA or mRNA levels do not reflect expression activity due to post-translational modifications ubiquitination protease cleavage glycosylation phosphorylation methylation and acetylation

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

bull Difficulty with reproducibility across different labs

DEFINITIONS EPIGENETICS

bull Transcripts of DNA or mRNA levels do not reflect expression activity due to post-translational modifications ubiquitination protease cleavage glycosylation phosphorylation methylation and acetylation

Bottom line Protein concentration (and activity) may be different than gene expression due to post-translational modification

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis

bull Difficulty with reproducibility across different labs

DEFINITIONS EPIGENETICS

bull Transcripts of DNA or mRNA levels do not reflect expression activity due to post-translational modifications ubiquitination protease cleavage glycosylation phosphorylation methylation and acetylation

INFLAMMATORY DEBATES

Genomics vs Epigenetics vs Proteomics

WHY BIOMARKERS

bull Biomarkers have the potential to enable diagnosis before the onset of symptoms predict specific organ involvement and disease flares identify clinically meaningful disease subsets predict and monitor response to therapy and describe organ or tissue damage

bull Can be useful in identifying genetic predisposition to disease or environmental triggers

bull May provide early information about potential efficacy of experimental agents or mechanisms underlying drug activity

bull Can become validated surrogate endpoints for prevention trials

(and not transcripts) represent current status 81 Stroncek DF Burns C

Martin BM Rossi L Marincola FM Panelli MC Review Advancing cancer biotherapy with proteomics J Immunother 2005 May-Jun 28(3)183-92

bull Epigenetics have causal status

The two can be combined for patient care depending on the goalpriority

DEFINITIONS PROTEOMICS

bull Molecular patterns via protein analysis functional analysis

bull Uses immunoassays ELISA MSIA SISCAPA to assess complex biologic processes such as immunotherapy for cancer

bull Acute phase reactant proteins

bull At present a comprehensive proteomics signature is not achievable due to the highly variable protein concentrations the biochemical diversity of proteins and the need for better profiles to measure the significant fraction of the proteome 82 Kikuchi T Carbone DP Proteomics analysis
