Project description:The plasma proteome is highly dynamic and variable, composed of proteins derived from surrounding tissues and cells. To investigate the complex processes that contribute to the plasma proteome homeostasis we developed a mass spectrometry based proteomics strategy to infer the origin of proteins detected in murine plasma. The strategy relies on the construction of a comprehensive protein tissue atlas from cells and highly vascularized organs using shotgun mass spectrometry. The protein tissue atlas was transformed to a spectral library for highly reproducible quantification of tissue specific proteins directly in plasma using SWATH-like data-independent mass spectrometry analysis. We show that the method can determine drastic changes of tissue specific protein profiles in blood plasma from mouse animal models with sepsis. The strategy can be extended to several other species advancing our understanding of the complex processes that contribute to the plasma proteome homeostasis.

Project description:This experiment consists of expression profiles for proteins in human tissues based on immunohistochemistry tissue microarrays. The tissue and cell samples came from 144 normal individuals. Normal tissues are represented by samples from three individuals each (except for endometrium, skin, soft tissue and stomach which are represented by samples from six individuals each), one core per individual. <br> The data presented here is based on The Human Protein Atlas version 13 and Ensembl version 75.37. This entry represents a top level summary of the metadata only.

Project description:Saliva based diagnostics is a rapidly evolving field due to the large potential of saliva and the simple sample collection. A systematic comparison of IgG antibody profiles in saliva and plasma is currently lacking in scientific literature. Our hypothesis is that IgG profiles are equal in blood and saliva. By showing the equality of the profiles and relative IgG antigenic reactivities towards proteins and peptides we provide evidence that plasma IgG reactivities can be inferred from saliva IgG reactivities. IgG antibodies were isolated from human saliva and plasma samples. The reactivities of IgG isolates were analysed on peptide microarrays displaying linear epitopes of EBV (EBNA1 protein) and HBV (Large envelope protein) virus. Peptide arrays were printed by JPT Peptide Technologies (Berlin, Germany). We show high similarity of saliva and plasma IgG profiles on these two platforms and argue for generalisation from this subset to the whole immunological IgG antibody profile.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (~22 nucleotide) noncoding RNAs that play pivotal roles in regulation of gene expression. The value of miRNAs as circulating biomarkers is now broadly recognized; such tissue-specific biomarkers can be used to monitor tissue injury and several pathophysiological conditions in organs. In addition, miRNA profiles of normal organs and tissues are important for obtaining a better understanding of the source of modulated miRNAs in blood and how those modulations reflect various physiological and toxicological conditions. This work was aimed at creating an miRNA atlas in rats, as part of a collaborative effort with the Toxicogenomics Informatics Project in Japan (TGP2). We analyzed genome-wide miRNA profiles of 55 different organs and tissues obtained from normal male rats using miRNA arrays. The work presented herein represents a comprehensive dataset derived from normal samples profiled in a single study. Here we present the whole dataset with miRNA profiles of multiple organs, as well as precise information on experimental procedures and organ-specific miRNAs identified in this dataset. miRNA expression in rat various organs was measured with or without saline perfusion. 3 animals were used.
