1,2,3, MHC: a review of mass-spectrometry-based immunopeptidomics methods for relative and absolute quantification of pMHCs.

ABSTRACT: Quantitative mass-spectrometry-based methods to perform relative and absolute quantification of peptides in the immunopeptidome are growing in popularity as researchers aim to measure the dynamic nature of the peptide major histocompatibility complex repertoire and make copies-per-cell estimations of target antigens of interest. Multiple methods to carry out these experiments have been reported, each with unique advantages and limitations. This article describes existing methods and recent applications, offering guidance for improving quantitative accuracy and selecting an appropriate experimental set-up to maximize data quality and quantity.

Multiplexed relative and absolute quantitative immunopeptidomics reveals MHC I repertoire alterations induced by CDK4/6 inhibition.

Project description:Peptides bound to class I major histocompatibility complexes (MHC) play a critical role in immune cell recognition and can trigger an antitumor immune response in cancer. Surface MHC levels can be modulated by anticancer agents, altering immunity. However, understanding the peptide repertoire's response to treatment remains challenging and is limited by quantitative mass spectrometry-based strategies lacking normalization controls. We describe an experimental platform that leverages recombinant heavy isotope-coded peptide MHCs (hipMHCs) and multiplex isotope tagging to quantify peptide repertoire alterations using low sample input. HipMHCs improve quantitative accuracy of peptide repertoire changes by normalizing for variation across analyses and enable absolute quantification using internal calibrants to determine copies per cell of MHC antigens, which can inform immunotherapy design. Applying this platform in melanoma cell lines to profile the immunopeptidome response to CDK4/6 inhibition and interferon-? - known modulators of antigen presentation - uncovers treatment-specific alterations, connecting the intracellular response to extracellular immune presentation.

Selected Reaction Monitoring Mass Spectrometry for Absolute Protein Quantification.

Project description:Absolute quantification of target proteins within complex biological samples is critical to a wide range of research and clinical applications. This protocol provides step-by-step instructions for the development and application of quantitative assays using selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mass spectrometry (MS). First, likely quantotypic target peptides are identified based on numerous criteria. This includes identifying proteotypic peptides, avoiding sites of posttranslational modification, and analyzing the uniqueness of the target peptide to the target protein. Next, crude external peptide standards are synthesized and used to develop SRM assays, and the resulting assays are used to perform qualitative analyses of the biological samples. Finally, purified, quantified, heavy isotope labeled internal peptide standards are prepared and used to perform isotope dilution series SRM assays. Analysis of all of the resulting MS data is presented. This protocol was used to accurately assay the absolute abundance of proteins of the chemotaxis signaling pathway within RAW 264.7 cells (a mouse monocyte/macrophage cell line). The quantification of Gi2 (a heterotrimeric G-protein ?-subunit) is described in detail.

Mass spectrometry based proteomics for absolute quantification of proteins from tumor cells.

Project description:In-depth quantitative profiling of the proteome and sub-proteomes of tumor cells has relevance to tumor classification, the development of novel therapeutics, and of prognostic and predictive markers and to disease monitoring. In particular the tumor cell surface represents a highly relevant compartment for the development of targeted therapeutics and immunotherapy. We have developed a proteomic platform to profile tumor cells that encompasses enrichment of surface membrane proteins, intact protein fractionation and label-free mass spectrometry based absolute quantification. Here we describe the methodology for capture, identification and quantification of cell surface proteins using biotinylation for labeling of the cell surface, avidin for capture of biotinylated proteins and ion mobility mass spectrometry for protein identification and quantification.

Absolute quantification of microbial proteomes at different states by directed mass spectrometry.

Project description:Over the past decade, liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has evolved into the main proteome discovery technology. Up to several thousand proteins can now be reliably identified from a sample and the relative abundance of the identified proteins can be determined across samples. However, the remeasurement of substantially similar proteomes, for example those generated by perturbation experiments in systems biology, at high reproducibility and throughput remains challenging. Here, we apply a directed MS strategy to detect and quantify sets of pre-determined peptides in tryptic digests of cells of the human pathogen Leptospira interrogans at 25 different states. We show that in a single LC-MS/MS experiment around 5000 peptides, covering 1680 L. interrogans proteins, can be consistently detected and their absolute expression levels estimated, revealing new insights about the proteome changes involved in pathogenic progression and antibiotic defense of L. interrogans. This is the first study that describes the absolute quantitative behavior of any proteome over multiple states, and represents the most comprehensive proteome abundance pattern comparison for any organism to date.

Absolute Quantification of RNA or DNA Using Acid Hydrolysis and Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Accurate, traceable quantification of ribonucleotide or deoxyribonucleotide oligomers is achievable using acid hydrolysis and isotope dilution mass spectrometry (ID-MS). In this work, formic acid hydrolysis is demonstrated to generate stoichiometric release of nucleobases from intact oligonucleotides, which then can be measured by ID-MS, facilitating true and precise absolute quantification of RNA, short linearized DNA, or genomic DNA. Surrogate nucleobases are quantified with a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) workflow, using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Nucleobases were chromatographically resolved using a novel cation-exchange separation, incorporating a pH gradient. Trueness of this quantitative assay is estimated from agreement among the surrogate nucleobases and by comparison to concentrations provided for commercial materials or Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Comparable concentration estimates using NanoDrop spectrophotometry or established from droplet-digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) techniques agree well with the results. Acid hydrolysis-ID-LC-MS/MS provides excellent quantitative selectivity and accuracy while enabling traceability to mass unit. Additionally, this approach can be uniquely useful for quantifying modified nucleobases or mixtures.

Deep learning boosts sensitivity of mass spectrometry-based immunopeptidomics.

Project description:Characterizing the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) bound ligandome by mass spectrometry (MS) holds great promise for developing vaccines and drugs for immune-oncology. Still, the identification of non-tryptic peptides presents substantial computational challenges. To address these, we synthesized and analyzed >300,000 peptides by multi-modal LC-MS/MS within the ProteomeTools project representing HLA class I & II ligands and products of the proteases AspN and LysN. The resulting data enabled training of a single model using the deep learning framework Prosit, allowing the accurate prediction of fragment ion spectra for tryptic and non-tryptic peptides. Applying Prosit demonstrates that the identification of HLA peptides can be improved up to 7-fold, that 87% of the proposed proteasomally spliced HLA peptides may be incorrect and that dozens of additional immunogenic neo-epitopes can be identified from patient tumors in published data. Together, the provided peptides, spectra and computational tools substantially expand the analytical depth of immunopeptidomics workflows.

Mass spectrometry-based absolute quantification reveals rhythmic variation of mouse circadian clock proteins.

Project description:Absolute values of protein expression levels in cells are crucial information for understanding cellular biological systems. Precise quantification of proteins can be achieved by liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of enzymatic digests of proteins in the presence of isotope-labeled internal standards. Thus, development of a simple and easy way for the preparation of internal standards is advantageous for the analyses of multiple target proteins, which will allow systems-level studies. Here we describe a method, termed MS-based Quantification By isotope-labeled Cell-free products (MS-QBiC), which provides the simple and high-throughput preparation of internal standards by using a reconstituted cell-free protein synthesis system, and thereby facilitates both multiplexed and sensitive quantification of absolute amounts of target proteins. This method was applied to a systems-level dynamic analysis of mammalian circadian clock proteins, which consist of transcription factors and protein kinases that govern central and peripheral circadian clocks in mammals. Sixteen proteins from 20 selected circadian clock proteins were successfully quantified from mouse liver over a 24-h time series, and 14 proteins had circadian variations. Quantified values were applied to detect internal body time using a previously developed molecular timetable method. The analyses showed that single time-point data from wild-type mice can predict the endogenous state of the circadian clock, whereas data from clock mutant mice are not applicable because of the disappearance of circadian variation.

Absolute quantification of transcription factors in human erythropoiesis using selected reaction monitoring mass spectrometry.

Project description:Quantitative changes in transcription factor (TF) abundance regulate dynamic cellular processes, including cell fate decisions. Protein copy number provides information about the relative stoichiometry of TFs that can be used to determine how quantitative changes in TF abundance influence gene regulatory networks. In this protocol, we describe a targeted selected reaction monitoring (SRM)-based mass-spectrometry method to systematically measure the absolute protein concentration of nuclear TFs as human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells differentiate along the erythropoietic lineage. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Gillespie et al. (2020).

Capillary isoelectric focusing-tandem mass spectrometry and reversed-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for quantitative proteomic analysis of differentiating PC12 cells by eight-plex isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification.

Project description:We report the application of capillary isoelectric focusing for quantitative analysis of a complex proteome. Biological duplicates were generated from PC12 cells at days 0, 3, 7, and 12 following treatment with nerve growth factor. These biological duplicates were digested with trypsin, labeled using eight-plex isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) chemistry, and pooled. The pooled peptides were separated into 25 fractions using reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). Technical duplicates of each fraction were separated by capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF) using a set of amino acids as ampholytes. The cIEF column was interfaced to an Orbitrap Velos mass spectrometer with an electrokinetically pumped sheath-flow nanospray interface. This HPLC-cIEF-electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) approach identified 835 protein groups and produced 2,329 unique peptides IDs. The biological duplicates were analyzed in parallel using conventional strong-cation exchange (SCX)-RPLC-ESI-MS/MS. The iTRAQ peptides were first separated into eight fractions using SCX. Each fraction was then analyzed by RPLC-ESI-MS/MS. The SCX-RPLC approach generated 1,369 protein groups and 3,494 unique peptide IDs. For protein quantitation, 96 and 198 differentially expressed proteins were obtained with RPLC-cIEF and SCX-RPLC, respectively. The combined set identified 231 proteins. Protein expression changes measured by RPLC-cEIF and SCX-RPLC were highly correlated.

Mass spectrometry-based absolute quantification of amyloid proteins in pathology tissue specimens: Merits and limitations.

Project description:To clarify the significance of quantitative analyses of amyloid proteins in clinical practice and in research relating to systemic amyloidoses, we applied mass spectrometry-based quantification by isotope-labeled cell-free products (MS-QBIC) to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. The technique was applied to amyloid tissues collected by laser microdissection of Congo red-stained lesions of FFPE specimens. Twelve of 13 amyloid precursor proteins were successfully quantified, including serum amyloid A (SAA), transthyretin (TTR), immunoglobulin kappa light chain (IGK), immunoglobulin lambda light chain (IGL), beta-2-microglobulin (B2M), apolipoprotein (Apo) A1, Apo A4, Apo E, lysozyme, Apo A2, gelsolin, and fibrinogen alpha chain; leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin-2 was not detected. The quantification of SAA, TTR, IGK, IGL, and B2M confirmed the responsible proteins, even when the immunohistochemical results were not decisive. Considerable amounts of Apo A1, Apo A4, and Apo E were deposited in parallel amounts with the responsible proteins. Quantification of amyloid protein by MS-QBIC is feasible and useful for the classification of and research on systemic amyloidoses.
