One-Pot Exosome Proteomics Enabled by a Photocleavable Surfactant.

ABSTRACT: Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by all cells and found in biological fluids, which can serve as minimally invasive liquid biopsies with extremely high therapeutic and diagnostic potential. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is a powerful technique to profile and quantify the protein content in exosomes, but the current methods require laborious and time-consuming multistep sample preparation that significantly limit throughput. Herein, we report a one-pot exosome proteomics method enabled by a photocleavable surfactant, Azo, to simplify exosomal lysis, effectively extract proteins, and expedite digestion. We have applied this method to exosomes derived from isolated mammary fibroblasts and confidently identified 3466 proteins and quantified 2288 proteins using a reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled to trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Here, 3166 (91%) of the identified proteins are annotated in the exosome/EVs databases, ExoCarta and Vesiclepedia, including important exosomal markers, CD63, PDCD6IP, and SDCBP. This method is fast, simple, and highly effective at extracting exosomal proteins with high reproducibility for deep exosomal proteome coverage. We envision that this method could be generally applicable for exosome proteomics applications in biomedical research, therapeutic interventions, and clinical diagnostics.

Photocleavable Surfactant-Enabled Extracellular Matrix Proteomics.

Project description:The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides an architectural meshwork that surrounds and supports cells. The dysregulation of heavily post-translationally modified ECM proteins directly contributes to various diseases. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is an ideal tool to identify ECM proteins and characterize their post-translational modifications, but ECM proteomics remains challenging owing to the extremely low solubility of the ECM. Herein, enabled by effective solubilization of ECM proteins using our recently developed photocleavable surfactant, Azo, we have developed a streamlined ECM proteomic strategy that allows fast tissue decellularization, efficient extraction and enrichment of ECM proteins, and rapid digestion prior to reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-MS analysis. A total of 173 and 225 unique ECM proteins from mouse mammary tumors have been identified using 1D and 2D RPLC-MS/MS, respectively. Moreover, 87 (from 1DLC-MS/MS) and 229 (from 2DLC-MS/MS) post-translational modifications of ECM proteins, including glycosylation, phosphorylation, and hydroxylation, were identified and localized. This Azo-enabled ECM proteomics strategy will streamline the analysis of ECM proteins and promote the study of ECM biology.

High-Throughput Proteomics Enabled by a Photocleavable Surfactant.

Project description:Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics provides unprecedented opportunities for understanding the structure and function of proteins in complex biological systems; however, protein solubility and sample preparation before MS remain a bottleneck preventing high-throughput proteomics. Herein, we report a high-throughput bottom-up proteomic method enabled by a newly developed MS-compatible photocleavable surfactant, 4-hexylphenylazosulfonate (Azo) that facilitates robust protein extraction, rapid enzymatic digestion (30 min compared to overnight), and subsequent MS-analysis following UV degradation. Moreover, we developed an Azo-aided bottom-up method for analysis of integral membrane proteins, which are key drug targets and are generally underrepresented in global proteomic studies. Furthermore, we demonstrated the ability of Azo to serve as an "all-in-one" MS-compatible surfactant for both top-down and bottom-up proteomics, with streamlined workflows for high-throughput proteomics amenable to clinical applications.

A photocleavable surfactant for top-down proteomics.

Project description:We report the identification of a photocleavable anionic surfactant, 4-hexylphenylazosulfonate (Azo), which can be rapidly degraded by ultraviolet irradiation, for top-down proteomics. Azo can effectively solubilize proteins with performance comparable to that of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and is compatible with mass spectrometry. Azo-aided top-down proteomics enables the solubilization of membrane proteins for comprehensive characterization of post-translational modifications. Moreover, Azo is simple to synthesize and can be used as a general SDS replacement in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Surfactant-assisted one-pot sample preparation for label-free single-cell proteomics.

Project description:Large numbers of cells are generally required for quantitative global proteome profiling due to surface adsorption losses associated with sample processing. Such bulk measurement obscures important cell-to-cell variability (cell heterogeneity) and makes proteomic profiling impossible for rare cell populations (e.g., circulating tumor cells (CTCs)). Here we report a surfactant-assisted one-pot sample preparation coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) method termed SOP-MS for label-free global single-cell proteomics. SOP-MS capitalizes on the combination of a MS-compatible nonionic surfactant, n-Dodecyl-β-D-maltoside, and hydrophobic surface-based low-bind tubes or multi-well plates for 'all-in-one' one-pot sample preparation. This 'all-in-one' method including elimination of all sample transfer steps maximally reduces surface adsorption losses for effective processing of single cells, thus improving detection sensitivity for single-cell proteomics. This method allows convenient label-free quantification of hundreds of proteins from single human cells and ~1200 proteins from small tissue sections (close to ~20 cells). When applied to a patient CTC-derived xenograft (PCDX) model at the single-cell resolution, SOP-MS can reveal distinct protein signatures between primary tumor cells and early metastatic lung cells, which are related to the selection pressure of anti-tumor immunity during breast cancer metastasis. The approach paves the way for routine, precise, quantitative single-cell proteomics.

One-Pot Synthesis and Surfactant Removal from MCM-41 Using Microwave Irradiation.

Project description:This research pioneers the application of microwave irradiation as an innovative strategy for one-pot synthesis and surfactant elimination (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-CTAB) from MCM-41, introducing a rapid and efficient methodology. MCM-41 silica is widely utilized in various applications due to its unique textural and structural properties. Nonetheless, the presence of residual surfactants after synthesis poses a challenge to its effective application. MCM-41 synthesis, conducted in a microwave reactor at 60 °C, provided a result within 0.5 to 1 h. Comprehensive analyses of structural, chemical, morphological, and surface characteristics were undertaken, with a focus on the impact of synthesis time on these properties. Surfactant extraction involved the use of ethanol as a solvent at 120 °C for 6 min within the microwave reactor. The acquired particles, coupled with the properties of textural and structural features, affirmed the efficacy of the synthesis process, resulting in the synthesis of MCM-41 within 36 min. This study presents the first instance of one-pot synthesis and surfactant removal from MCM-41 using a microwave reactor. The proposed method not only addresses the surfactant removal challenge, but also substantially accelerates the synthesis process, thereby enhancing the potential for MCM-41's application in diverse fields.

Comprehensive Characterization of Endogenous Phospholamban Proteoforms Enabled by Photocleavable Surfactant and Top-down Proteomics

Project description:Top-down mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has become a powerful tool for analyzing intact proteins and their associated post-translational modification (PTMs). Membrane proteins play critical roles in numerous cellular functions and represent the largest class of drug targets. However, top-down MS characterization of endogenous membrane proteins remains challenging, mainly due to their hydrophobicity and low expression level. Phospholamban (PLN) is a regulatory membrane protein in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and is essential in controlling cardiac contraction through calcium handling. Endogenously, the dynamic regulation of PLN's combinatorial PTM state has a significant influence on cardiac contractility and disease. Herein, we have developed a rapid and robust top-down proteomics method enabled by a photocleavable anionic surfactant, Azo, for the extraction and comprehensive characterization of endogenous PLN from cardiac tissue. We have employed a two-pronged top-down MS approach utilizing an online reversed-phase liquid chromatography tandem MS (LC-MS/MS) on a quadrupole time-of-flight MS and an ultrahigh-resolution Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) MS via direct infusion. We have comprehensively characterized the sequence and combinatorial PTMs of endogenous PLN, including S-palmitoylation and phosphorylations. S-palmitoylation was localized to Cys36 and for the first time with MS/MS, we have successfully localized the site-specific phosphorylation to Ser16 and Thr17 in human PLN extracted directly from heart tissue. We envision this top-down proteomics method will be crucial in its application to understanding PLN's role in cardiac contractility.

Robust and Easy-to-Use One-Pot Workflow for Label-Free Single-Cell Proteomics.

Project description:The analysis of ultralow input samples or even individual cells is essential to answering a multitude of biomedical questions, but current proteomic workflows are limited in their sensitivity and reproducibility. Here, we report a comprehensive workflow that includes improved strategies for all steps, from cell lysis to data analysis. Thanks to convenient-to-handle 1 μL sample volume and standardized 384-well plates, the workflow is easy for even novice users to implement. At the same time, it can be performed semi-automatized using CellenONE, which allows for the highest reproducibility. To achieve high throughput, ultrashort gradient lengths down to 5 min were tested using advanced μ-pillar columns. Data-dependent acquisition (DDA), wide-window acquisition (WWA), data-independent acquisition (DIA), and commonly used advanced data analysis algorithms were benchmarked. Using DDA, 1790 proteins covering a dynamic range of four orders of magnitude were identified in a single cell. Using DIA, proteome coverage increased to more than 2200 proteins identified from single-cell level input in a 20 min active gradient. The workflow enabled differentiation of two cell lines, demonstrating its suitability to cellular heterogeneity determination.
