DIAlignR Provides Precise Retention Time Alignment Across Distant Runs in DIA and Targeted Proteomics.

ABSTRACT: Sequential Windowed Acquisition of All Theoretical Fragment Ion Mass Spectra (SWATH-MS) is widely used for proteomics analysis given its high throughput and reproducibility, but ensuring consistent quantification of analytes across large-scale studies of heterogeneous samples such as human plasma remains challenging. Heterogeneity in large-scale studies can be caused by large time intervals between data acquisition, acquisition by different operators or instruments, and intermittent repair or replacement of parts, such as the liquid chromatography column, all of which affect retention time (RT) reproducibility and, successively, performance of SWATH-MS data analysis. Here, we present a novel algorithm for RT alignment of SWATH-MS data based on direct alignment of raw MS2 chromatograms using a hybrid dynamic programming approach. The algorithm does not impose a chronological order of elution and allows for alignment of elution-order-swapped peaks. Furthermore, allowing RT mapping in a certain window around a coarse global fit makes it robust against noise. On a manually validated dataset, this strategy outperformed the current state-of-the-art approaches. In addition, on real-world clinical data, our approach outperformed global alignment methods by mapping 98% of peaks compared with 67% cumulatively. DIAlignR reduced alignment error up to 30-fold for extremely distant runs. The robustness of technical parameters used in this pairwise alignment strategy is also demonstrated.

Highly Multiplex Targeted Proteomics Enabled by Real-Time Chromatographic Alignment.

Project description:Targeted mass spectrometry methods produce high-quality quantitative data in terms of limits of detection and dynamic range, at the cost of a substantial compromise in throughput compared to methods such as data independent and data dependent acquisition. The logistical and experimental issues inherent to maintaining assays of even several hundred targets are significant. Prominent among these issues is the drift in analyte retention time as liquid chromatography (LC) columns wear, forcing targeted scheduling windows to be much larger than LC peak widths. If these problems could be solved, proteomics assays would be capable of targeting thousands of peptides in an hour-long experiment, enabling large cohort studies to be performed without sacrificing sensitivity and specificity. We describe a solution in the form of a new method for real-time chromatographic alignment and demonstrate its application to a 56 min LC-gradient HeLa digest assay with 1489 targets. The method is based on the periodic acquisition of untargeted survey scans in a reference experiment and alignment to those scans during subsequent experiments. We describe how the method enables narrower scheduled retention time windows to be used. The narrower scheduling windows enables more targets to be included in the assay or proportionally more time to be allocated to each target, improving the sensitivity. Finally, we point out how the procedure could be improved and how much additional target multiplexing could be gained in the future.

Using Data Independent Acquisition (DIA) to Model High-responding Peptides for Targeted Proteomics Experiments.

Project description:Targeted mass spectrometry is an essential tool for detecting quantitative changes in low abundant proteins throughout the proteome. Although selected reaction monitoring (SRM) is the preferred method for quantifying peptides in complex samples, the process of designing SRM assays is laborious. Peptides have widely varying signal responses dictated by sequence-specific physiochemical properties; one major challenge is in selecting representative peptides to target as a proxy for protein abundance. Here we present PREGO, a software tool that predicts high-responding peptides for SRM experiments. PREGO predicts peptide responses with an artificial neural network trained using 11 minimally redundant, maximally relevant properties. Crucial to its success, PREGO is trained using fragment ion intensities of equimolar synthetic peptides extracted from data independent acquisition experiments. Because of similarities in instrumentation and the nature of data collection, relative peptide responses from data independent acquisition experiments are a suitable substitute for SRM experiments because they both make quantitative measurements from integrated fragment ion chromatograms. Using an SRM experiment containing 12,973 peptides from 724 synthetic proteins, PREGO exhibits a 40-85% improvement over previously published approaches at selecting high-responding peptides. These results also represent a dramatic improvement over the rules-based peptide selection approaches commonly used in the literature.

Alignstein: Optimal transport for improved LC-MS retention time alignment.

Project description:Reproducibility of liquid chromatography separation is limited by retention time drift. As a result, measured signals lack correspondence over replicates of the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) experiments. Correction of these errors is named retention time alignment and needs to be performed before further quantitative analysis. Despite the availability of numerous alignment algorithms, their accuracy is limited (e.g., for retention time drift that swaps analytes' elution order). We present the Alignstein, an algorithm for LC-MS retention time alignment. It correctly finds correspondence even for swapped signals. To achieve this, we implemented the generalization of the Wasserstein distance to compare multidimensional features without any reduction of the information or dimension of the analyzed data. Moreover, Alignstein by design requires neither a reference sample nor prior signal identification. We validate the algorithm on publicly available benchmark datasets obtaining competitive results. Finally, we show that it can detect the information contained in the tandem mass spectrum by the spatial properties of chromatograms. We show that the use of optimal transport effectively overcomes the limitations of existing algorithms for statistical analysis of mass spectrometry datasets. The algorithm's source code is available at https://github.com/grzsko/Alignstein.

Inserting Pre-Analytical Chromatographic Priming Runs Significantly Improves Targeted Pathway Proteomics With Sample Multiplexing.

Project description:GoDig, a recent platform for targeted pathway proteomics without the need for manual assay scheduling or synthetic standard peptides, is a relatively flexible and easy-to-use method that uses tandem mass tags (TMT) to increase sample throughput up to 18-fold relative to label-free targeted proteomics. Though the protein quantification success rate of GoDig is generally high, the peptide-level success rate is more limited, hampering the extension of GoDig to assays of harder-to-quantify proteins and site-specific phenomena. In order to guide the optimization of GoDig assays as well as improvements to the GoDig platform, we created GoDigViewer, a new stand-alone software that provides detailed visualizations of GoDig runs. GoDigViewer guided the implementation of "priming runs," an acquisition mode with significantly higher success rates due to improved elution order calibration. In this mode, one or more chromatographic priming runs are automatically performed to determine accurate and precise target elution orders, followed by analytical runs which quantify targets. Using priming runs, peptide-level quantification success rates exceeded 97% for a list of 400 peptide targets and 95% for a list of 200 targets that are usually not quantified using untargeted mass spectrometry. We used priming runs to establish a quantitative assay of 125 macroautophagy proteins that had a >95% success rate and revealed differences in macroautophagy protein expression profiles across four human cell lines.

ChromA: signal-based retention time alignment for chromatography-mass spectrometry data.

Project description:SummaryWe describe ChromA, a web-based alignment tool for chromatography-mass spectrometry data from the metabolomics and proteomics domains. Users can supply their data in open and standardized file formats for retention time alignment using dynamic time warping with different configurable local distance and similarity functions. Additionally, user-defined anchors can be used to constrain and speedup the alignment. A neighborhood around each anchor can be added to increase the flexibility of the constrained alignment. ChromA offers different visualizations of the alignment for easier qualitative interpretation and comparison of the data. For the multiple alignment of more than two data files, the center-star approximation is applied to select a reference among input files to align to.AvailabilityChromA is available at http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/chroma.

Locus-specific Retention Predictor (LsRP): A Peptide Retention Time Predictor Developed for Precision Proteomics.

Project description:The precision prediction of peptide retention time (RT) plays an increasingly important role in liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) based proteomics. Owing to the high reproducibility of liquid chromatography, RT prediction provides promising information for both identification and quantification experiment design. In this work, we present a Locus-specific Retention Predictor (LsRP) for precise prediction of peptide RT, which is based on amino acid locus information and Support Vector Regression (SVR) algorithm. Corresponding to amino acid locus, each peptide sequence was converted to a featured locus vector consisting of zeros and ones. With locus vector information from LC-MS/MS data sets, an SVR computational process was trained and evaluated. LsRP finally provided a prediction correlation coefficient of 0.95~0.99. We compared our method with two common predictors. Results showed that LsRP outperforms these methods and tracked up to 30% extra peptides in an extraction RT window of 2 min. A new strategy by combining LsRP and calibration peptide approach was then proposed, which open up new opportunities for precision proteomics.

Hybrid-DIA: intelligent data acquisition integrates targeted and discovery proteomics to analyze phospho-signaling in single spheroids.

Project description:Achieving sufficient coverage of regulatory phosphorylation sites by mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics for signaling pathway reconstitution is challenging, especially when analyzing tiny sample amounts. To address this, we present a hybrid data-independent acquisition (DIA) strategy (hybrid-DIA) that combines targeted and discovery proteomics through an Application Programming Interface (API) to dynamically intercalate DIA scans with accurate triggering of multiplexed tandem mass spectrometry (MSx) scans of predefined (phospho)peptide targets. By spiking-in heavy stable isotope labeled phosphopeptide standards covering seven major signaling pathways, we benchmark hybrid-DIA against state-of-the-art targeted MS methods (i.e., SureQuant) using EGF-stimulated HeLa cells and find the quantitative accuracy and sensitivity to be comparable while hybrid-DIA also profiles the global phosphoproteome. To demonstrate the robustness, sensitivity, and biomedical potential of hybrid-DIA, we profile chemotherapeutic agents in single colon carcinoma multicellular spheroids and evaluate the phospho-signaling difference of cancer cells in 2D vs 3D culture.

Retention Time Alignment for Protein Turnover Studies Using Heavy Water Metabolic Labeling.

Project description:Retention time (RT) alignment has been important for robust protein identification and quantification in proteomics. In data-dependent acquisition mode, whereby the precursor ions are semistochastically chosen for fragmentation in MS/MS, the alignment is used in an approach termed matched between runs (MBR). MBR transfers peptides, which were fragmented and identified in one experiment, to a replicate experiment where they were not identified. Before the MBR transfer, the RTs of experiments are aligned to reduce the chance of erroneous transfers. Despite its widespread use in other areas of quantitative proteomics, RT alignment has not been applied in data analyses for protein turnover using an atom-based stable isotope-labeling agent such as metabolic labeling with deuterium oxide, D2O. Deuterium incorporation changes isotope profiles of intact peptides in full scans and their fragment ions in tandem mass spectra. It reduces the peptide identification rates in current database search engines. Therefore, the MBR becomes more important. Here, we report on an approach to incorporate RT alignment with peptide quantification in studies of proteome turnover using heavy water metabolic labeling and LC-MS. The RT alignment uses correlation-optimized time warping. The alignment, followed by the MBR, improves labeling time point coverage, especially for long labeling durations.

TRIC: an automated alignment strategy for reproducible protein quantification in targeted proteomics.

Project description:Next-generation mass spectrometric (MS) techniques such as SWATH-MS have substantially increased the throughput and reproducibility of proteomic analysis, but ensuring consistent quantification of thousands of peptide analytes across multiple liquid chromatography-tandem MS (LC-MS/MS) runs remains a challenging and laborious manual process. To produce highly consistent and quantitatively accurate proteomics data matrices in an automated fashion, we developed TRIC (http://proteomics.ethz.ch/tric/), a software tool that utilizes fragment-ion data to perform cross-run alignment, consistent peak-picking and quantification for high-throughput targeted proteomics. TRIC reduced the identification error compared to a state-of-the-art SWATH-MS analysis without alignment by more than threefold at constant recall while correcting for highly nonlinear chromatographic effects. On a pulsed-SILAC experiment performed on human induced pluripotent stem cells, TRIC was able to automatically align and quantify thousands of light and heavy isotopic peak groups. Thus, TRIC fills a gap in the pipeline for automated analysis of massively parallel targeted proteomics data sets.

DeepRTAlign: toward accurate retention time alignment for large cohort mass spectrometry data analysis.

Project description:Retention time (RT) alignment is a crucial step in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based proteomic and metabolomic experiments, especially for large cohort studies. The most popular alignment tools are based on warping function method and direct matching method. However, existing tools can hardly handle monotonic and non-monotonic RT shifts simultaneously. Here, we develop a deep learning-based RT alignment tool, DeepRTAlign, for large cohort LC-MS data analysis. DeepRTAlign has been demonstrated to have improved performances by benchmarking it against current state-of-the-art approaches on multiple real-world and simulated proteomic and metabolomic datasets. The results also show that DeepRTAlign can improve identification sensitivity without compromising quantitative accuracy. Furthermore, using the MS features aligned by DeepRTAlign, we trained and validated a robust classifier to predict the early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. DeepRTAlign provides an advanced solution to RT alignment in large cohort LC-MS studies, which is currently a major bottleneck in proteomics and metabolomics research.
