Optimization of Synovial Fluid Collection and Processing for NMR Metabolomics and LC-MS/MS Proteomics.

ABSTRACT: Synovial fluid (SF) is of great interest for the investigation of orthopedic pathologies, as it is in close proximity to various tissues that are primarily altered during these disease processes and can be collected using minimally invasive protocols. Multi-"omic" approaches are commonplace, although little consideration is often given for multiple analysis techniques at sample collection. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) proteomics are two complementary techniques particularly suited to the study of SF. However, currently there are no agreed upon standard protocols that are published for SF collection and processing for use with NMR metabolomic analysis. Furthermore, the large protein concentration dynamic range present within SF can mask the detection of lower abundance proteins in proteomics. While combinational ligand libraries (ProteoMiner columns) have been developed to reduce this dynamic range, their reproducibility when used in conjunction with SF, or on-bead protein digestion protocols, has yet to be investigated. Here we employ optimized protocols for the collection, processing, and storage of SF for NMR metabolite analysis and LC-MS/MS proteome analysis, including a Lys-C endopeptidase digestion step prior to tryptic digestion, which increased the number of protein identifications and improved reproducibility for on-bead ProteoMiner digestion.

Project description:Liquid 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.We 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.The 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: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.
