Quantitative MS-Based Proteomics: Comparing the MCF-7 Cellular Response to Hypoxia and a 2-Oxoglutarate Analogue.

ABSTRACT: The hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are key transcription factors in determining cellular responses involving alterations in protein levels in response to limited oxygen availability in animal cells. 2-Oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases play key roles in regulating levels of HIF and its transcriptional activity. We describe MS-based proteomics studies in which we compared the results of subjecting human breast cancer MCF-7 cells to hypoxia or treating them with a cell-penetrating derivative (dimethyl N-oxalylglycine; DMOG) of the stable 2OG analogue N-oxalylglycine. The proteomic results are consistent with reported transcriptomic analyses and support the proposed key roles of 2OG-dependent HIF prolyl- and asparaginyl-hydroxylases in the hypoxic response. Differences between the data sets for hypoxia and DMOG might reflect context-dependent effects or HIF-independent effects of DMOG.

Project description:Celastrol, a natural substance isolated from plant extracts used in traditional Chinese medicine, has been extensively investigated as a possible drug for treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, and protein misfolding disorders. Although studies focusing on celastrol's effects in specific cellular pathways have revealed a considerable number of targets in a diverse array of in vitro models there is an essential need for investigations that can provide a global view of its effects. To assess cellular effects of celastrol and to identify target proteins as biomarkers for monitoring treatment regimes, we performed large-scale quantitative proteomics in cultured human lymphoblastoid cells, a cell type that can be readily prepared from human blood samples. Celastrol substantially modified the proteome composition and 158 of the close to 1800 proteins with robust quantitation showed at least a 1.5 fold change in protein levels. Up-regulated proteins play key roles in cytoprotection with a prominent group involved in quality control and processing of proteins traversing the endoplasmic reticulum. Increased levels of proteins essential for the cellular protection against oxidative stress including heme oxygenase 1, several peroxiredoxins and thioredoxins as well as proteins involved in the control of iron homeostasis were also observed. Specific analysis of the mitochondrial proteome strongly indicated that the mitochondrial association of certain antioxidant defense and apoptosis-regulating proteins increased in cells exposed to celastrol. Analysis of selected mRNA transcripts showed that celastrol activated several different stress response pathways and dose response studies furthermore showed that continuous exposure to sub-micromolar concentrations of celastrol is associated with reduced cellular viability and proliferation. The extensive catalog of regulated proteins presented here identifies numerous cellular effects of celastrol and constitutes a valuable biomarker tool for the development and monitoration of disease treatment strategies.

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.
