Recent Advance in Applications of Proteomics Technologies on Traditional Chinese Medicine Research

الملخص EN

Proteomics technology, a major component of system biology, has gained comprehensive attention in the area of medical diagnosis, drug development, and mechanism research.

On the holistic and systemic theory, proteomics has a convergence with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

In this review, we discussed the applications of proteomic technologies in diseases-TCM syndrome combination researches.

We also introduced the proteomic studies on the in vivo and in vitro effects and underlying mechanisms of TCM treatments using Chinese herbal medicine (CHM), Chinese herbal formula (CHF), and acupuncture.

Furthermore, the combined studies of proteomics with other “-omics” technologies in TCM were also discussed.

In summary, this report presents an overview of the recent advances in the application of proteomic technologies in TCM studies and sheds a light on the future global and further research on TCM.
