Prospects of 3G service: a study on Malaysian customer perspectives

This study focused on identifying factors related to the adoption or rejection of 30 service by consumers in Malaysia. The research findings indicate that age and gender influence the adoption decision. These findings prevailed when age groups view differences in terms of (1) loyalty towards the existing mobile service provider and (2) the perceived greater convenience afthe current 2G/2.5G service. The gender perspective also showed significant differences in terms of the importance to access 30 services and loyalty branding. Cluster analysis was conducted to identify customer groupings based on similarity in patterns ofadoption among consumers. Two cluster groups with different adoption pallerns emerged. Cluster 2 is comprised of a higher income group with the tendency to adopt 30 service since they have the earning capacity whereas cluster 1 is largely of middle income holders. Females represent the majority in cluster 1 whereas cluster 1 is dominated by males

Proteogenomic characterization of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer with poor patient survival. Toward understanding the underlying molecular alterations that drive PDAC oncogenesis, we conducted comprehensive proteogenomic analysis of 140 pancreatic cancers, 67 normal adjacent tissues, and 9 normal pancreatic ductal tissues. Proteomic, phosphoproteomic, and glycoproteomic analyses were used to characterize proteins and their modifications. In addition, whole-genome sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, methylation, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and microRNA sequencing (miRNA-seq) were performed on the same tissues to facilitate an integrated proteogenomic analysis and determine the impact of genomic alterations on protein expression, signaling pathways, and post-translational modifications. To ensure robust downstream analyses, tumor neoplastic cellularity was assessed via multiple orthogonal strategies using molecular features and verified via pathological estimation of tumor cellularity based on histological review. This integrated proteogenomic characterization of PDAC will serve as a valuable resource for the community, paving the way for early detection and identification of novel therapeutic targets.

Proteogenomic insights into the biology and treatment of HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

We present a proteogenomic study of 108 human papilloma virus (HPV)-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). Proteomic analysis systematically catalogs HNSCC-associated proteins and phosphosites, prioritizes copy number drivers, and highlights an oncogenic role for RNA processing genes. Proteomic investigation of mutual exclusivity between FAT1 truncating mutations and 11q13.3 amplifications reveals dysregulated actin dynamics as a common functional consequence. Phosphoproteomics characterizes two modes of EGFR activation, suggesting a new strategy to stratify HNSCCs based on EGFR ligand abundance for effective treatment with inhibitory EGFR monoclonal antibodies. Widespread deletion of immune modulatory genes accounts for low immune infiltration in immune-cold tumors, whereas concordant upregulation of multiple immune checkpoint proteins may underlie resistance to anti-programmed cell death protein 1 monotherapy in immune-hot tumors. Multi-omic analysis identifies three molecular subtypes with high potential for treatment with CDK inhibitors, anti-EGFR antibody therapy, and immunotherapy, respectively. Altogether, proteogenomics provides a systematic framework to inform HNSCC biology and treatment.[Display omitted]•A systematic inventory of HNSCC-associated proteins, phosphosites, and pathways•Three multi-omic subtypes linked to targeted treatment approaches and immunotherapy•Widespread deletion of immune modulatory genes accounts for loss of immunogenicity•Two modes of EGFR activation inform response to anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodiesHuang et al. report a proteogenomic study on 108 HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs).
