Abstract:
The proteomics data included in this article supplement the research article titled "Predictive protein markers for the severity of depression in mood disorders: A preliminary trans-diagnostic approach study (manuscript ID: JPSYCHIATRES-D-20-00437)." Plasma protein was analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This data article included 370 plasma protein profiles expressed in patients with bipolar II disorder (BD-II) and major depressive disorder (MDD). The tables present the comparison of protein expressions between BD-II and MDD, and the relationship between the severity of the depressive symptoms and protein expression. In addition, details of results adjusting the use of each psychotropic medication (antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and antidepressants) for 20 proteins that showed a significant relationship with the severity of the depressive symptom were presented in the table. Results of the bioinformatics analysis of proteins, which were significantly related to the severity of depressive symptom, are presented. The blood protein profiles and the results of the analyses presented in this data article provide detailed information on the proteins associated with mood disorders, and could be used as the basis for further mass spectrometry studies in psychiatric disorders.
