BACKGROUNDBreast cancer (BC) has been identified as a significant contributor to the rising number of female cancer deaths. As, it has become clear that breast cancer development depends on the interplay of several biological factors against a single molecule. This research aimed to use proteomics to gain a regulatory and metabolic understanding of BC pathophysiology.METHODFor the study, a breast cancer proteomics dataset was downloaded from ProteomeXchange and then analyzed by employing MaxQuant and Perseus. Functional enrichment analysis through Metascape and Cytoscape software showed DEPs related biomedical phenomena with potential abruption. The expression of selected lncRNA in terms of the highest connectivity parameters was then quantitatively assessed through RT-PCR in 30 tumor tissues of breast cancer patients, as compared to the adjacent healthy ones.RESULTThe results indicated that among the 3048 identified proteins, 1149 were differentially expressed, which could be mainly enriched in several key terms. Furthermore, the obtained findings revealed that ITGB1-DT was significantly overexpressed in tumor tissues. Moreover, we found five potential compounds that could be attributed to ITGB1-DT targets (ATN-161, Firategrast, SB-683698, dabigatran-etexilate, and tranexamic-acid).CONCLUSIONThese analyses proposed that ITGB1-DT could be employed as a differentiated factor to identify breast tumor tissues in healthy samples. Besides this, Firategrast could be introduced as a potential remedial agent for breast cancer patients. Overall, from the analysis of a proteomics dataset, an integrative map was generated, and a novel biomarker that may have been implicated in the early detection of BC was introduced.
