Project description:Previously, we published a dataset of human blood plasma and serum samples of 10 healthy males and 10 healthy females, fractionated on a set of sorbents (cation exchange Toyopearl CM-650M, CM Bio-Gel A, SP Sephadex C-25 and anion exchange QAE Sephadex A-25) and analyzed by LC-MS/MS individually and pooled in equal amounts (Supplementary Table S1, Sheet 1) [33]. The mass spectrometry peptidomics data was deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the PRIDE partner repository (dataset identifiers PXD008141 and 10.6019/PXD008141). Direct download link: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/archive/projects/PXD008141. We analyzed this dataset again within this work. The detailed information about the dataset of blood plasma/serum samples of 20 healthy donors fractionated on a set of sorbents is available in the original paper [33], including the clinical parameters of the donors, sample collection, plasma/serum fractionation, peptide extraction and LC-MS/MS analysis. 33.

Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of individuals consuming alcohol and controls in LC samples. Individuals consuming alcohol were profiled at time of intake (T1) into treatment facility and four weeks into treatment (T2). Controls were profiled once. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA Methylation BeadChip v1.0 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across 485,577 CpGs in LC samples. Samples included 33 case subjects at T1, 26 case subjects at T2 and 33 controls.
Project description:This cohort is an extension of our previous dataset (Spiers et al) containing DNA methylation profiled with the EPIC array on an additional 40 human fetal brain samples. Please note that these samples are from the same cohort as GSE58885.
Project description:Previously, we published a dataset of human blood plasma and serum samples of 10 healthy males and 10 healthy females, fractionated on a set of sorbents (cation exchange Toyopearl CM-650M, CM Bio-Gel A, SP Sephadex C-25 and anion exchange QAE Sephadex A-25) and analyzed by LC-MS/MS individually and pooled in equal amounts (Supplementary Table S1, Sheet 1) [33]. We focused on those peptides that could be found in the blood plasma and serum using a standard search against the database of human proteins (UniProt Knowledgebase, taxon human). The combination of search engines MASCOT and X! Tandem, based on Scaffold 4 software with FDR less than 1%, allowed us to identify 15,530 unique peptides that belong to 2,127 protein groups (Table 1, Supplementary Table S1, Sheets 2 and 3). The Venn diagram shows that slightly less than 40% of the peptides are found in all four analyzed samples (Figures 1A and 1B). About 70% of the peptides are found in at least two samples. The accumulation diagram (Figure 1C) shows that the number of new unique peptides does not reach a plateau after repeated analyses of the same plasma sample — even after six runs. The high variability of the plasma and serum peptidome most likely indicates its sophisticated composition. 33. Arapidi, G. et al.

Project description:Establishment of a tumor bank, consisting of blood samples of tumor patients and healthy people as controls. The blood samples will be collected systematically together with the corresponding clinical data. The biological samples, the clinical date together with prospective experimental date constitute the entity of the tumor bank.
Project description:This study presents transcriptomic profiling of primary lung fibroblasts derived from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and histologically normal controls. Total RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed genes associated with fibroblast activation in IPF. A total of 43 samples (33 IPF and 10 controls) were analyzed. The results revealed robust gene expression changes in IPF fibroblasts, with significant enrichment in extracellular matrix organization and collagen-related pathways. This dataset provides a valuable resource for understanding the molecular landscape of IPF fibroblasts and may facilitate the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Project description:Establishment of a tumor bank, consisting of tissue samples of tumor patients (benign and malign tumors) and healthy people as controls. The tissue samples will be collected systematically together with the corresponding clinical data. The biological samples, the clinical date together with prospective experimental date constitute the entity of the tissue tumor bank.
This tumor bank for tissue samples, together with our tumorbank for blood samples (NCT01763125) combined constitute the entity "Tumorbank".
Project description:We used the Illumina 450KMethylation BeadChip to measure DNA methylation at 485,512 loci across the genome for 40 postmortem brain samples. The purpose of our study was to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs) associated with autism. Samples included 16 temporal cortex brain tissue samples (6 cases and 10 controls), 11 prefrontal cortex brain tissue samples (6 cases and 5 controls), and 13 cerebellum brain tissue samples (7 cases and 6 controls).
