Multiplexed targeted proteomic assay to assess coagulation factor concentrations and thrombosis-associated cancer.

ABSTRACT: The plasma levels of pro- and anticoagulant proteins are important markers for venous thrombosis (VT) risk and can be affected by both genetic and acquired factors, including cancer. Generally, these markers are measured using activity- or antibody-based assays. Targeted proteomics with stable-isotope-labeled internal standards has proven adept at the rapid, multiplex, and precise quantification of proteins in complex biological samples such as plasma. We used liquid chromatography coupled to multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry to evaluate the concentrations of 31 coagulation- and fibrinolysis-related proteins in plasma from 25 healthy controls, 25 patients with VT, and 25 patients with VT who were also diagnosed with cancer. The concentration level of 1 to 3 proteotypic peptides per protein was determined, and all samples were previously characterized using traditional antibody- or activity-based methods. When comparing the conventional and the MRM strategies, the mean Pearson correlation for the 13 proteins (covered by 36 target peptides) shared between the 2 approaches was 0.77, indicating a good correlation. Additionally, MRM offers higher sensitivity (mean regression slope, 0.81), higher multiplicity in a single run, and good ability to leverage all measurements to discriminate groups using unsupervised clustering, which identified vitamin K antagonist users as well as patients with VT and cancer. The data collected using MRM show that the combination of coagulation factor levels yields signature information on VT and cancer, which was not obvious from a single measurement. These results encourage the further validation and investigation of MRM in profiling protein signature of disease.

Project description:Currently there are no effective treatments for many neurodegenerative diseases. Reliable biomarkers for identifying and stratifying these diseases will be important in the development of future novel therapies. Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) is considered an under diagnosed form of dementia for which markers are needed to discriminate LBD from other forms of dementia such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD). This work describes a Label-Free proteomic profiling analysis of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from non-neurodegenerative controls and patients with LBD. Using this technology we identified several potential novel markers for LBD. These were then combined with other biomarkers from previously published studies, to create a 10 min multiplexed targeted and translational MRM-LC-MS/MS assay. This test was used to validate our new assay in a larger cohort of samples including controls and the other neurodegenerative conditions of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease (PD).Thirty eight proteins showed significantly (p?<?0.05) altered expression in LBD CSF by proteomic profiling. The targeted MRM-LC-MS/MS assay revealed 4 proteins that were specific for the identification of AD from LBD: ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (p?<?0.0001), lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (p?<?0.0001), pro-orexin (p?<?0.0017) and transthyretin (p?<?0.0001). Nineteen proteins were elevated significantly in both AD and LBD versus the control group of which 4 proteins are novel (malate dehydrogenase 1, serum amyloid A4, GM2-activator protein, and prosaposin). Protein-DJ1 was only elevated significantly in the PD group and not in either LBD or AD samples. Correlations with Alzheimer-associated amyloid ?-42 levels, determined by ELISA, were observed for transthyretin, GM2 activator protein and IGF2 in the AD disease group (r(2)???0.39, p???0.012). Cystatin C, ubiquitin and osteopontin showed a strong significant linear relationship (r(2)???0.4, p???0.03) with phosphorylated-tau levels in all groups, whilst malate dehydrogenase and apolipoprotein E demonstrated a linear relationship with phosphorylated-tau and total-tau levels in only AD and LBD disease groups.Using proteomics we have identified several potential and novel markers of neurodegeneration and subsequently validated them using a rapid, multiplexed mass spectral test. This targeted proteomic platform can measure common markers of neurodegeneration that correlate with existing diagnostic makers as well as some that have potential to show changes between AD from LBD.
