Automated online sequential isotope labeling for protein quantitation applied to proteasome tissue-specific diversity.

ABSTRACT: Quantitation of protein abundance is a vital component in the proteomic analysis of biological systems, which can be achieved by differential stable isotopic labeling. To analyze tissue-derived samples, the isotopic labeling can be performed using chemical labeling of the peptides post-digestion. Standard chemical labeling procedures often require many manual sample handling steps, reducing the accuracy of measurements. Here, we describe a fully automated, online (in nanoLC columns), labeling procedure, which allows protein quantitation using differential isotopic dimethyl labeling of peptide N termini and lysine residues. We show that the method allows reliable quantitation over a wide dynamic range and can be used to quantify differential protein abundances in lysates and, more targeted, differences in composition between purified protein complexes. We apply the method to determine the differences in composition between bovine liver and spleen 20 S core proteasome complexes. We find that although all catalytically active immunoproteasome subunits were up-regulated in spleen (compared with liver), only one of the normal catalytic subunits was down-regulated, suggesting that the tissue-specific immunoproteasome assembly is more diverse than previously assumed.

Project description:Dexamethasone (Dex) is a synthetic glucocorticoid (GC) drug commonly used clinically for the treatment of several inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases. Despite its broad range of indications, the long-term use of Dex is known to be associated with specific abnormalities in several tissues and organs. In this study, the metabolomic effects on five different organs induced by the chronic administration of Dex in the Sprague-Dawley rat model were investigated using the chemical isotope labeling liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (CIL LC-MS) platform, which targets the amine/phenol submetabolomes. Compared to controls, a prolonged intake of Dex resulted in significant perturbations in the levels of 492, 442, 300, 186, and 105 metabolites in the brain, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney, and heart tissues, respectively. The positively identified metabolites were mapped to diverse molecular pathways in different organs. In the brain, perturbations in protein biosynthesis, amino acid metabolism, and monoamine neurotransmitter synthesis were identified, while in the heart, pyrimidine metabolism and branched amino acid biosynthesis were the most significantly impaired pathways. In the kidney, several amino acid pathways were dysregulated, which reflected impairments in several biological functions, including gluconeogenesis and ureagenesis. Beta-alanine metabolism and uridine homeostasis were profoundly affected in liver tissues, whereas alterations of glutathione, arginine, glutamine, and nitrogen metabolism pointed to the modulation of muscle metabolism and disturbances in energy production and muscle mass in skeletal muscle. The differential expression of multiple dipeptides was most significant in the liver (down-regulated), brain (up-regulation), and kidney tissues, but not in the heart or skeletal muscle tissues. The identification of clinically relevant pathways provides holistic insights into the tissue molecular responses induced by Dex and understanding of the underlying mechanisms associated with their side effects. Our data suggest a potential role for glutathione supplementation and dipeptide modulators as novel therapeutic interventions to mitigate the side effects induced by Dex therapy.
