The authors investigated global analysis coupled shotgun proteomics and in silico metabolic pathway analyses in malignant lymphoma and normal lymphocytes. Trifunctional protein subunit alfa (HADHA) was detected as a lymphoma-specific protein and a prognostic predictor. In vitro, downregulation of HADHA inhibited cell growth and increase susceptibility of cell death stimuli. Therefore, HADHA may be a potential therapeutic target in refractory malignant lymphoma cases.
