      Venous thromboembolism is the third common cardiovascular disease and is composed of two entities, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and its potential fatal form, pulmonary embolism (PE). While PE is observed in~ 40% of patients with documented DVT, there is limited biomarkers that can help identifying patients at high PE risk. To fll this need, we implemented a two hidden-layers artifcial neural ...

K.; van der Kolk, Anja; Hendrikse, Jeroen; Kassem, Mohamed; Matic, Ljubica; Odeberg, Jacob; de Vries, Margreet R.; Kooi, M. Eline; Hedin, Ulf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-24)
      Background: Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) is a hallmark of atherosclerotic plaque instability. Biliverdin reductase B (BLVRB) is enriched in plasma and plaques from patients with symptomatic carotid atherosclerosis and functionally associated with IPH. Objective: We explored the biomarker potential of plasma BLVRB through (1) its correlation with IPH in carotid plaques assessed by magnetic resonance ...

      Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common, multi-causal disease with potentially serious short- and long-term complications. In clinical practice, there is a need for improved plasma biomarker-based tools for VTE diagnosis and risk prediction. Here we show, using proteomics profiling to screen plasma from patients with suspected acute VTE, and several case-control studies for VTE, how Complement ...
    • A human adipose tissue cell-type transcriptome atlas 

      Norreen-Thorsen, Marthe; Struck, Eike Christopher; Öling, Sofia Maria; Zwahlen, Martin; Von Feilitzen, Kalle; Odeberg, Jacob; Lindskog, Cecilia; Pontén, Fredrik; Uhlén, Mathias; Dusart, Philip James; Butler, Lynn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-12)
      The importance of defining cell-type-specific genes is well acknowledged. Technological advances facilitate high-resolution sequencing of single cells, but practical challenges remain. Adipose tissue is composed primarily of adipocytes, large buoyant cells requiring extensive, artefact-generating processing for separation and analysis. Thus, adipocyte data are frequently absent from single-cell ...
    • Identification of Endothelial Proteins in Plasma Associated With Cardiovascular Risk Factors 

      Butler, Lynn; Iglesias, Maria J.; Kruse, Larissa D.; Sanchez-Rivera, Laura; Enge, Linnea; Dusart, Philip; Hong, Mun-Gwan; Uhlén, Mathias; Renné, Thomas; Schwenk, Jochen M.; Bergstrom, Göran; Odeberg, Jacob (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-28)
      <b>Objective:</b> Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction is a well-established response to cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as smoking and obesity. Risk factor exposure can modify EC signaling and behavior, leading to arterial and venous disease development. Here, we aimed to identify biomarker panels for the assessment of EC dysfunction, which could be useful for risk stratification or to monitor ...
    • Markers of neutrophil activation and neutrophil extracellular traps in diagnosing patients with acute venous thromboembolism: A feasibility study based on two VTE cohorts 

      Smith, Philip; Rosell, Axel; Farm, Maria; Bruzelius, Maria; Gatica, Katherina Aguilera; Mackman, Nigel; Odeberg, Jacob; Thålin, Charlotte (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-28)
      <b><p>Background</b> Venous thromboembolism (VTE) diagnosis would greatly benefit from the identification of novel biomarkers to complement D-dimer, a marker limited by low specificity. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been shown to promote thrombosis and could hypothetically be used for diagnosis of acute VTE. <b><p>Objectives</b> To assess the levels of specific markers of ...
    • Proteomics in thrombosis research 

      Edfors, Fredrik; Iglesias, Maria Jesus; Butler, Lynn; Odeberg, Jacob (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-25)
      A State of the Art lecture titled “Proteomics in Thrombosis Research” was presented at the ISTH Congress in 2021. In clinical practice, there is a need for improved plasma biomarker-based tools for diagnosis and risk prediction of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Analysis of blood, to identify plasma proteins with potential utility for such tools, could enable an individualized approach to treatment ...
    • A single-cell type transcriptomics map of human tissues 

      Karlsson, Max; Cheng, Zhang; Mear, Lorén; Zhong, Wen; Digre, Andreas; Katona, Barbola; Sjöstedt, Evelina; Butler, Lynn; Odeberg, Jacob; Dusart, Philip James; Edfors, Fredrik; Oksvold, Per; von Feilitzen, Kalle; Zwahlen, Martin; Arif, Muhammad; Altay, Ozlem; Li, Xiangyu; Ozcan, Mehmet; Mardinoglu, Adil; Fagerberg, Linn; Mulder, Jan; Luo, Younglun; Ponten, Fredrik; Uhlén, Mathias; Lindskog, Cecilia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-28)
      Advances in molecular profiling have opened up the possibility to map the expression of genes in cells, tissues, and organs in the human body. Here, we combined single-cell transcriptomics analysis with spatial antibodybased protein profiling to create a high-resolution single–cell type map of human tissues. An open access atlas has been launched to allow researchers to explore the expression of ...
    • Targeting NETs using dual-active DNase1 variants 

      Englert, Hanna; Göbel, Josephine; Khong, Danika; Omidi, Maryam; Wolska, Nina; Konrath, Sandra; Frye, Maike; Mailer, Reiner K.; Beerens, Manu; Gerwers, Julian C.; Preston, Roger J. S.; Odeberg, Jacob; Butler, Lynn; Maas, Coen; Stavrou, Evi X.; Fuchs, Tobias A.; Renné, Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-23)
      Background: Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) are key mediators of immunothrombotic mechanisms and defective clearance of NETs from the circulation underlies an array of thrombotic, inflammatory, infectious, and autoimmune diseases. Efficient NET degradation depends on the combined activity of two distinct DNases, DNase1 and DNase1-like 3 (DNase1L3) that preferentially digest double-stranded DNA ...
    • Testing for association with rare variants in the coding and non-coding genome: RAVA-FIRST, a new approach based on CADD deleteriousness score 

      Bocher, Ozvan; Ludwig, Thomas E.; Oglobinsky, Marie-Sophie; Marenne, Gaëlle; Deleuze, Jean-François; Suryakant, Suryakant; Odeberg, Jacob; Morange, Pierre-Emmanuel; Trégouët, David-Alexandre; Perdry, Hervé; Génin, Emmanuelle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-16)
      Rare variant association tests (RVAT) have been developed to study the contribution of rare variants widely accessible through high-throughput sequencing technologies. RVAT require to aggregate rare variants in testing units and to filter variants to retain only the most likely causal ones. In the exome, genes are natural testing units and variants are usually filtered based on their functional ...
