Article Abstract

Different from DNA or RNA, proteins cannot be amplified. The performance of single-cell proteomics is limited by sample loss during sample preparation. Here, we present a one-step droplet-in-oil digestion (OSDO) method that involves one-step water-in-oil processing using cyclohexane or -heptane, which can reduce the sample adsorption loss and sample volume change due to evaporation and increase the sensitivity and stability of single-cell proteomics. The OSDO is demonstrated to be compatible with tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling to improve the throughput. The OSDO, followed by data-independent acquisition (DIA), quantified more than 3700 proteins per cell during meiotic progression from pachytene to metaphase I, with no correlation between protein and mRNA levels. Inhibition of VPS34 and DNMT1, two proteins up-regulated in metaphase I, both affected metaphase I formation. The OSDO is an easy-to-operate method compatible with both subsequent labeled and unlabeled quantification to expand the depth, throughput, and applicability in single-cell proteomics.

Plasma samples obtained approximately 3 ( = 100) and 12 months ( = 78) after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection were tested for S1, spike, and N antigens. There were no significant differences in plasma proteins or single-cell protein expression levels on immune cells between those with and without plasma antigen detected.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) associated with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) harbours distinct features compared to lung adenocarcinoma without UIP. Therefore, we aimed to characterise the tumour microenvironment of LUAD with UIP by focusing on cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and stromal composition. Immunohistochemistry was performed on 32 LUAD samples (16 each with and without UIP) to evaluate CAF marker expression and lymphocyte infiltration.

Objective: The key molecular events signifying the -induced gastric carcinogenesis process are largely unknown.

Methods: Bulk tissue-proteomics profiling were leveraged across multi-stage gastric lesions from Linqu ( = 166) and Beijing sets ( = 99) and single-cell transcriptomic profiling ( = 18) to decipher key molecular signatures of -related gastric lesion progression and gastric cancer (GC) development. The association of key proteins association with gastric lesion progression and GC development were prospectively studied building on follow-up of the Linqu set and UK Biobank ( = 48,529).

Motivation: Advances in high-throughput technologies have shifted the focus from bulk to single cell or spatial transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of tissues and cell cultures. The resulting increase in gene and/or protein lists leads to the subsequent growth of up- and downregulated pathways lists. This trend creates the need for pathway-network based integration strategies that allow quick exploration of shared and distinct mechanisms across datasets.
