Spatial proteomics: unveiling the multidimensional landscape of protein localization in human diseases

Abstract

Abstract Spatial proteomics is a multidimensional technique that studies the spatial distribution and function of proteins within cells or tissues across both spatial and temporal dimensions. This field multidimensionally reveals the complex structure of the human proteome, including the characteristics of protein spatial distribution, dynamic protein translocation, and protein interaction networks. Recently, as a crucial method for studying protein spatial localization, spatial proteomics has been applied in the clinical investigation of various diseases. This review summarizes the fundamental concepts and characteristics of tissue-level spatial proteomics, its research progress in common human diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and anticipates its future development trends. The aim is to highlight the significant impact of spatial proteomics on understanding disease pathogenesis, advancing diagnostic methods, and developing potential therapeutic targets in clinical research.
