Each of these peptide pools contained 6–7 synthetic 20-mer peptides (overlapping of 12 residues), spanning eight randomly selected proteins that were found overrepresented in the form of fragmented proteins in CDDP-ap NSCLC cells, as compared with live NSCLC cells using SILAC-based MS analysis (i.e., olfactory receptor 5H2; Ras and EF-hand domain-containing protein; proactivator polypeptide; protein LYRIC; zinc transporter SLC39A7; ADP/ATP translocase 2; chatepsin D; ruvB-like 2) (Supplementary Fig. 4a, b). Here, MTDH is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
