PANAMA-enabled high-sensitivity dual nanoflow LC-MS metabolomics and proteomics analysis.

ABSTRACT: High-sensitivity nanoflow liquid chromatography (nLC) is seldom employed in untargeted metabolomics because current sample preparation techniques are inefficient at preventing nanocapillary column performance degradation. Here, we describe an nLC-based tandem mass spectrometry workflow that enables seamless joint analysis and integration of metabolomics (including lipidomics) and proteomics from the same samples without instrument duplication. This workflow is based on a robust solid-phase micro-extraction step for routine sample cleanup and bioactive molecule enrichment. Our method, termed proteomic and nanoflow metabolomic analysis (PANAMA), improves compound resolution and detection sensitivity without compromising the depth of coverage as compared with existing widely used analytical procedures. Notably, PANAMA can be applied to a broad array of specimens, including biofluids, cell lines, and tissue samples. It generates high-quality, information-rich metabolite-protein datasets while bypassing the need for specialized instrumentation.

Project description:BackgroundLiquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has become a prominent tool for the analysis of complex proteomics and metabolomics samples. In many applications multiple LC-MS measurements need to be compared, e. g. to improve reliability or to combine results from different samples in a statistical comparative analysis. As in all physical experiments, LC-MS data are affected by uncertainties, and variability of retention time is encountered in all data sets. It is therefore necessary to estimate and correct the underlying distortions of the retention time axis to search for corresponding compounds in different samples. To this end, a variety of so-called LC-MS map alignment algorithms have been developed during the last four years. Most of these approaches are well documented, but they are usually evaluated on very specific samples only. So far, no publication has been assessing different alignment algorithms using a standard LC-MS sample along with commonly used quality criteria.ResultsWe propose two LC-MS proteomics as well as two LC-MS metabolomics data sets that represent typical alignment scenarios. Furthermore, we introduce a new quality measure for the evaluation of LC-MS alignment algorithms. Using the four data sets to compare six freely available alignment algorithms proposed for the alignment of metabolomics and proteomics LC-MS measurements, we found significant differences with respect to alignment quality, running time, and usability in general.ConclusionThe multitude of available alignment methods necessitates the generation of standard data sets and quality measures that allow users as well as developers to benchmark and compare their map alignment tools on a fair basis. Our study represents a first step in this direction. Currently, the installation and evaluation of the "correct" parameter settings can be quite a time-consuming task, and the success of a particular method is still highly dependent on the experience of the user. Therefore, we propose to continue and extend this type of study to a community-wide competition. All data as well as our evaluation scripts are available at http://msbi.ipb-halle.de/msbi/caap.

Project description:Highly specialized cells are fundamental for proper functioning of complex organs. Variations in cell-type specific gene expression and protein composition have been linked to a variety of diseases. Although single cell technologies have emerged as valuable tools to address this cellular heterogeneity, a majority of these workflows lack sufficient in situ resolution for functional classification of cells and are associated with extremely long analysis time, especially when it comes to in situ proteomics. In addition, lack of understanding of single cell dynamics within their native environment limits our ability to explore the altered physiology in disease development. This limitation is particularly relevant in the mammalian brain, where different cell types perform unique functions and exhibit varying sensitivities to insults. The hippocampus, a brain region crucial for learning and memory, is of particular interest due to its obvious involvement in various neurological disorders. Here, we present a combination of experimental and data integration approaches for investigation of cellular heterogeneity and functional disposition within the mouse brain hippocampus using MALDI Imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) and shotgun proteomics (LC-MS/MS) coupled with laser-capture microdissection (LCM) along with spatial transcriptomics. Within the dentate gyrus granule cells we identified two proteomically distinct cellular subpopulations that are characterized by a substantial number of discriminative proteins. These cellular clusters contribute to the overall functionality of the dentate gyrus by regulating redox homeostasis, mitochondrial organization, RNA processing, and microtubule organization. Importantly, most of the identified proteins matched their transcripts, verifying the in situ protein identification and supporting their functional analyses. By combining high-throughput spatial proteomics with transcriptomics, our approach enables reliable near-single-cell scale identification of proteins and profiling of inter-cellular heterogeneity within similar cell-types in tissues. This methodology has the potential to be applied to different biological conditions and tissues, providing a deeper understanding of cellular subpopulations in situ.

Project description:BackgroundImmunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), a globally common primary chronic glomerulopathy, is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease. However, the underlying mechanisms of IgAN have yet to be demonstrated. There were no adequate and reliable plasma biomarkers for clinical diagnosis, especially at the early stage. In the present study, integrative proteomics and metabolomics were aimed at exploring the mechanism of IgAN and identifying potential biomarkers.MethodsPlasma from IgAN and healthy individuals were collected and analyzed in a randomized controlled manner. Data-independent acquisition quantification proteomics and mass spectrometry based untargeted metabolomics techniques were used to profile the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and differentially abundant metabolites (DAMs) between two groups and identify potential biomarkers for IgAN from health at the early stage. Disease-related pathways were screened out by clustering and function enrichment analyses of DEPs and DAMs. And the potential biomarkers for IgAN were identified through the machine learning approach. Additionally, an independent cohort was used to validate the priority candidates by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).ResultsProteomic and metabolomic analyses of IgAN plasma showed that the complement and the immune system were activated, while the energy and amino acid metabolism were disordered in the IgAN patients. PRKAR2A, IL6ST, SOS1, and palmitoleic acid have been identified as potential biomarkers. Based on the AUC value for the training and test sets, the classification performance was 0.994 and 0.977, respectively. The AUC of the external validation of the four biomarkers was 0.91.ConclusionIn this study, we combined proteomics and metabolomics techniques to analyze the plasma of IgAN patients and healthy individuals, constructing a biomarker panel, which could provide new insights and provide potential novel molecular diagnoses for IgAN.
