Software platform for rapidly creating computational tools for mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

ABSTRACT: We describe and demonstrate the proteomics computational toolkit provided in the open-source msInspect software distribution. The toolkit includes modules written in Java and in the R statistical programming language to aid the rapid development of proteomics software applications. It contains tools for processing and manipulating standard MS data files, including signal processing of LC-MS data and parsing of MS/MS search results, as well as for modeling proteomics data structures, creating charts, and other common tasks. We present this toolkit's capability to rapidly develop new computational tools by presenting an example application, Qurate, a graphical tool for manually curating isotopically labeled peptide quantitative events.

EpiProfile 2.0: A Computational Platform for Processing Epi-Proteomics Mass Spectrometry Data.

Project description:Epigenetics has become a fundamental scientific discipline with various implications for biology and medicine. Epigenetic marks, mostly DNA methylation and histone post-translational modifications (PTMs), play important roles in chromatin structure and function. Accurate quantification of these marks is an ongoing challenge due to the variety of modifications and their wide dynamic range of abundance. Here we present EpiProfile 2.0, an extended version of our 2015 software (v1.0), for accurate quantification of histone peptides based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. EpiProfile 2.0 is now optimized for data-independent acquisition through the use of precursor and fragment extracted ion chromatography to accurately determine the chromatographic profile and to discriminate isobaric forms of peptides. The software uses an intelligent retention time prediction trained on the analyzed samples to enable accurate peak detection. EpiProfile 2.0 supports label-free and isotopic labeling, different organisms, known sequence mutations in diseases, different derivatization strategies, and unusual PTMs (such as acyl-derived modifications). In summary, EpiProfile 2.0 is a universal and accurate platform for the quantification of histone marks via LC-MS/MS. Being the first software of its kind, we anticipate that EpiProfile 2.0 will play a fundamental role in epigenetic studies relevant to biology and translational medicine. EpiProfile is freely available at https://github.com/zfyuan/EpiProfile2.0_Family .

Chemical tools for temporally and spatially resolved mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

Project description:Accurate measurements of the abundances, synthesis rates and degradation rates of cellular proteins are critical for understanding how cells and organisms respond to changes in their environments. Over the past two decades, there has been increasing interest in the use of mass spectrometry for proteomic analysis. In many systems, however, protein diversity as well as cell and tissue heterogeneity limit the usefulness of mass spectrometry-based proteomics. As a result, researchers have had difficulty in systematically identifying proteins expressed within specified time intervals, or low abundance proteins expressed in specific tissues or in a few cells in complex microbial systems. In this review, we present recently-developed tools and strategies that probe these two subsets of the proteome: proteins synthesized during well-defined time intervals--temporally resolved proteomics--and proteins expressed in predetermined cell types, cells or cellular compartments--spatially resolved proteomics--with a focus on chemical and biological mass spectrometry-based methodologies.

MetSign: a computational platform for high-resolution mass spectrometry-based metabolomics.

Project description:Data analysis in metabolomics is currently a major challenge, particularly when large sample sets are analyzed. Herein, we present a novel computational platform entitled MetSign for high-resolution mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. By converting the instrument raw data into mzXML format as its input data, MetSign provides a suite of bioinformatics tools to perform raw data deconvolution, metabolite putative assignment, peak list alignment, normalization, statistical significance tests, unsupervised pattern recognition, and time course analysis. MetSign uses a modular design and an interactive visual data mining approach to enable efficient extraction of useful patterns from data sets. Analysis steps, designed as containers, are presented with a wizard for the user to follow analyses. Each analysis step might contain multiple analysis procedures and/or methods and serves as a pausing point where users can interact with the system to review the results, to shape the next steps, and to return to previous steps to repeat them with different methods or parameter settings. Analysis of metabolite extract of mouse liver with spiked-in acid standards shows that MetSign outperforms the existing publically available software packages. MetSign has also been successfully applied to investigate the regulation and time course trajectory of metabolites in hepatic liver.

patRoon: open source software platform for environmental mass spectrometry based non-target screening.

Project description:Mass spectrometry based non-target analysis is increasingly adopted in environmental sciences to screen and identify numerous chemicals simultaneously in highly complex samples. However, current data processing software either lack functionality for environmental sciences, solve only part of the workflow, are not openly available and/or are restricted in input data formats. In this paper we present patRoon, a new R based open-source software platform, which provides comprehensive, fully tailored and straightforward non-target analysis workflows. This platform makes the use, evaluation and mixing of well-tested algorithms seamless by harmonizing various common (primarily open) software tools under a consistent interface. In addition, patRoon offers various functionality and strategies to simplify and perform automated processing of complex (environmental) data effectively. patRoon implements several effective optimization strategies to significantly reduce computational times. The ability of patRoon to perform time-efficient and automated non-target data annotation of environmental samples is demonstrated with a simple and reproducible workflow using open-access data of spiked samples from a drinking water treatment plant study. In addition, the ability to easily use, combine and evaluate different algorithms was demonstrated for three commonly used feature finding algorithms. This article, combined with already published works, demonstrate that patRoon helps make comprehensive (environmental) non-target analysis readily accessible to a wider community of researchers.

Automated sample preparation platform for mass spectrometry-based plasma proteomics and biomarker discovery.

Project description:The identification of novel biomarkers from human plasma remains a critical need in order to develop and monitor drug therapies for nearly all disease areas. The discovery of novel plasma biomarkers is, however, significantly hampered by the complexity and dynamic range of proteins within plasma, as well as the inherent variability in composition from patient to patient. In addition, it is widely accepted that most soluble plasma biomarkers for diseases such as cancer will be represented by tissue leakage products, circulating in plasma at low levels. It is therefore necessary to find approaches with the prerequisite level of sensitivity in such a complex biological matrix. Strategies for fractionating the plasma proteome have been suggested, but improvements in sensitivity are often negated by the resultant process variability. Here we describe an approach using multidimensional chromatography and on-line protein derivatization, which allows for higher sensitivity, whilst minimizing the process variability. In order to evaluate this automated process fully, we demonstrate three levels of processing and compare sensitivity, throughput and reproducibility. We demonstrate that high sensitivity analysis of the human plasma proteome is possible down to the low ng/mL or even high pg/mL level with a high degree of technical reproducibility.

IMTBX and Grppr: Software for Top-Down Proteomics Utilizing Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Top-down proteomics has emerged as a transformative method for the analysis of protein sequence and post-translational modifications (PTMs). Top-down experiments have historically been performed primarily on ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometers due to the complexity of spectra resulting from fragmentation of intact proteins, but recent advances in coupling ion mobility separations to faster, lower resolution mass analyzers now offer a viable alternative. However, software capable of interpreting the highly complex two-dimensional spectra that result from coupling ion mobility separation to top-down experiments is currently lacking. In this manuscript we present a software suite consisting of two programs, IMTBX ("IM Toolbox") and Grppr ("Grouper"), that enable fully automated processing of such data. We demonstrate the capabilities of this software suite by examining a series of intact proteins on a Waters Synapt G2 ion-mobility equipped mass spectrometer and compare the results to the manual and semiautomated data analysis procedures we have used previously.

Quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics reveals the dynamic protein landscape during initiation of human Th17 cell polarization

Project description:CD4+ T cells play a key role in the adaptive immune system. Their subset, Th17 cells contribute to pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and cancer. To reveal the Th17 cell-specific proteomic signature regulating Th17 cell differentiation and function in human we used a label-free mass spectrometry-based approach. To determine the degree of similarities and differences between the transcript and the protein levels, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the transcript-protein relationships. Comparison of the proteomics and RNA-sequencing data generated in this study during human Th17 differentiation revealed a high degree of overlap between the datasets. However, we found very limited overlap between the proteins differentially regulated in response to Th17 differentiation in human and mouse. Of the 758 and 397 proteins differentially regulated at 72h during Th17 specification in human and in mouse, respectively, only 33 were detected as differentially regulated in a similar fashion in both species. We validated a panel of selected proteins with known and unknown functions. Finally, using RNA interference (RNAi), we showed that SATB1 negatively regulates of human Th17 cell differentiation. To our knowledge, this study is the first to illustrate a comprehensive picture of the global protein landscape during early human Th17 cell differentiation. Poor overlap with recently reported mouse data underlines the importance of human studies for translational research.

Mass spectrometry based proteomics profiling of human monocytes.

Project description:Human monocyte is an important cell type which is involved in various complex human diseases. To better understand the biology of human monocytes and facilitate further studies, we developed the first comprehensive proteome knowledge base specifically for human monocytes by integrating both in vivo and in vitro datasets. The top 2000 expressed genes from in vitro datasets and 779 genes from in vivo experiments were integrated into this study. Altogether, a total of 2237 unique monocyte-expressed genes were cataloged. Biological functions of these monocyte-expressed genes were annotated and classified via Gene Ontology (GO) analysis. Furthermore, by extracting the overlapped genes from in vivo and in vitro datasets, a core gene list including 541 unique genes was generated. Based on the core gene list, further gene-disease associations, pathway and network analyses were performed. Data analyses based on multiple bioinformatics tools produced a large body of biologically meaningful information, and revealed a number of genes such as SAMHD1, G6PD, GPD2 and ENO1, which have been reported to be related to immune response, blood biology, bone remodeling, and cancer respectively. As a unique resource, this study can serve as a reference map for future in-depth research on monocytes biology and monocyte-involved human diseases.
