Key Points

  • The research aims to create a comprehensive resource documenting detectable proteins in blood, enhancing understanding of physiology and disease.
  • Developed the Human Blood Proteome (HuBP) database for protein detectability
  • Profiled healthy plasma using various analytical workflows and identified 9,965 proteins
  • Analyzed whole-blood samples from 140 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), 111 clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), and 82 lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients
  • Identified proteins unique to cancer types, subtracting those found in healthy controls
  • Standardized performance metrics and SOPs were provided for reproducibility.
  • Assembled a collection of 10,463 nonredundant blood proteins in the HuBP database
  • Discovered 498 proteins absent in healthy controls across different cancers
  • Detected a total of 8,021 proteins across all three cancer types, indicating disease-specific signatures.
  • Highlighted a platform to support discovery of non-invasive biomarkers and enhance precision medicine efforts.

Abstract

Abstract Blood provides a rich and accessible source of clinical information, yet no centralized resource systematically documents which proteins are detectable across blood sample types, analytical workflows, and disease states. To address these needs, we developed the Human Blood Proteome (HuBP) database that links protein detectability, abundance, and reproducibility across analytical workflows, sample types, and disease contexts.Using data-independent acquisition, we profiled healthy plasma with complementary workflows, including direct analysis, high-abundance protein depletion, low-abundance protein enrichment, and extracellular vesicle enrichment and identified 9,965 proteins in total. HuBP enables users to query protein detectability across methods and provides standardized performance metrics and detailed standard operating procedures (SOPs) to support reproducibility and cross-laboratory implementation.To characterize disease-associated alterations, we further analyzed 140 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), 111 clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), and 82 lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) whole-blood samples, identifying 8,002, 8,006, and 8,009 proteins, respectively. Across these cancers, 8,021 proteins were detected, including 498 proteins absent in healthy controls, highlighting disease-specific blood proteomic signatures.In total, HuBP assembles 10,463 nonredundant blood proteins, representing the most comprehensive blood proteome resource to date. By providing an integrated and quantitative atlas across workflows, sample types, and disease contexts, HuBP offers a valuable platform for optimizing experimental designs in both large-scale blood proteomics studies and targeted analyses of disease-specific proteins, ultimately supporting the discovery of non-invasive biomarkers and the advancement of precision medicine.
