Depression is a prevalent mental disorder with a complex biological mechanism. Following the rapid development of systems biology technology, a growing number of studies have applied proteomics and metabolomics to explore the molecular profiles of depression. However, a standardized resource facilitating the identification and annotation of the available knowledge from these scattered studies associated with depression is currently lacking. This study presents ProMENDA, an upgraded resource that provides a platform for manual annotation of candidate proteins and metabolites linked to depression. Following the establishment of the protein dataset and the update of the metabolite dataset, the ProMENDA database was developed as a major extension of its initial release. A multi-faceted annotation scheme was employed to provide comprehensive knowledge of the molecules and studies. A new web interface was also developed to improve the user experience. The ProMENDA database now contains 43,366 molecular entries, comprising 20,847 protein entries and 22,519 metabolite entries, which were manually curated from 1370 human, rat, mouse, and non-human primate studies. This represents a significant increase (more than 7-fold) in molecular entries compared to the initial release. To demonstrate the usage of ProMENDA, a case study identifying consistently reported proteins and metabolites in the brains of animal models of depression was presented. Overall, ProMENDA is a comprehensive resource that offers a panoramic view of proteomic and metabolomic knowledge in depression. ProMENDA is freely available at https://menda.cqmu.edu.cn .
抑郁症是一种常见的精神障碍,其发病机制复杂。随着系统生物学技术的快速发展,越来越多的研究应用蛋白质组学和代谢组学来探索抑郁症的分子特征。然而,目前缺乏一个标准化的资源,以方便识别和注释与抑郁症相关的分散研究中的可用知识。本研究介绍了 ProMENDA,这是一个升级的资源,为与抑郁症相关的候选蛋白质和代谢物的手动注释提供了一个平台。在建立蛋白质数据集和更新代谢物数据集之后,ProMENDA 数据库作为其初始版本的主要扩展而开发。采用了多方面的注释方案,提供了对分子和研究的全面了解。还开发了一个新的网络界面,以改善用户体验。ProMENDA 数据库现在包含 43366 个分子条目,包括 20847 个蛋白质条目和 22519 个代谢物条目,这些条目是从 1370 个人、大鼠、小鼠和非人类灵长类动物研究中手动整理的。与初始版本相比,分子条目数量增加了(超过 7 倍)。为了展示 ProMENDA 的使用情况,展示了一个在抑郁症动物模型大脑中识别一致报道的蛋白质和代谢物的案例研究。总的来说,ProMENDA 是一个全面的资源,提供了抑郁症蛋白质组学和代谢组学知识的全景图。ProMENDA 可在 https://menda.cqmu.edu.cn 免费获取。
