To generate a comprehensive spectral library, the pooled sample from each group was processed. The DDA data were processed using Proteome Discoverer (Thermo Scientific, Germany) software and searched against the human SwissProt database appended with the iRT fusion protein sequence (Biognosys). A maximum of two missed cleavages for trypsin was used, cysteine carbamidomethylation was set as a fixed modification, and methionine oxidation deamination and +43 on Kn (carbamyl) were used as variable modifications. The parent and fragment ion mass tolerances were set to 10 ppm and 0.02 Da, respectively. The applied false discovery rate (FDR) cutoff was 0.01 at the protein level. The results were then imported into Spectronaut Pulsar (Biognosys, Switzerland) software to generate the library. Additionally, DIA data were imported into Spectronaut Pulsar software and searched against the human SwissProt database to generate the DIA library. The final library was generated by combining the DDA and DIA libraries of all the enrolled samples.
