The Chromosome-Centric Human Proteome Project of China systematically profiles the proteomes of three digestive organs (i.e., stomach, colon, and liver) and their corresponding carcinoma tissues/cell lines according to a chromosome organizational roadmap. By rigorous standards, we have identified 271 (38.7%), 330 (47.1%), and 325 (46.4%) of 701 chromosome 8-coded proteins from stomach, colon, and liver samples, respectively, in Swiss-Prot and observed a total coverage rate of up to 58.9% by 413 identified proteins. Using large-scale label-free proteome quantitation, we also found some 8p deficiencies, such as the presence of 8p21−p23 in tumorigenesis of the above-described digestive organs, which is in good agreement with previous reports. To our best knowledge, this is the first study to have verified these 8p deficiencies at the proteome level, complementing genome and transcriptome data.

Supplementary Information Data analysis Domain-protein two-way clustergram The domain-protein two-way clustergram in Supplementary Figure 5 was generated as previously described (Jin et al, 2009), with some modifications. In particular, similarities were computed between protein-domain profiles (defined by the set of domains on each protein) and domain-protein profiles (defined by the set of proteins for each domain) using the Jaccard similarity coefficient (size of the intersection divided by the size of the union of the sets). Domain annotation was obtained from SMART (Letunic et al, 2009; Schultz et al, 2000). This yielded statistical descriptions of the relatedness of any two proteins, based on their domain compositions, and of the relationship between any two domains based on their co-occurrence among proteins. Complete linkage hierarchical clustering was then used to cluster rows and columns of the matrix and produce a two-way clustergram of the yeast and worm SH3 protein sets. The clustergrams were generated using the MATLAB Bioinformatics Toolbox.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.
