Bone proteomics methods optimisation for forensic investigations

ABSTRACT: The application of human bone in forensic proteomics is an expanding novel purpose in the aim of successfully quantifying biological estimations used in medico-legal investigations with greater accuracy. In this project, different extraction protocols were tested on n=30 human bone samples, including S-Trap technology with two different lysis buffer, and ZipTips. Additionally, a comparison was made between data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and data-independent acquisition (DIA) mode. Results showed less missing data using S-Traps instead of the more routine reverse-phase media tips (ZipTip). The type of lysis buffer when using S-Traps does not impact largely the analysis conducted in forensic proteomic workflows. Lastly, it was found that when open-source software is used for data processing for both DDA and DIA modes, DIA has the upper advantage in terms of acquiring a larger number of proteins due to its greater sensitivity to those with a lower abundance.

The application of proteomic analysis to forensic skeletal remains has gained significant interest in improving biological and chronological estimations in medico-legal investigations. To enhance the applicability of these analyses to forensic casework, it is crucial to maximize throughput and proteome recovery while minimizing interoperator variability and laboratory-induced post-translational protein modifications (PTMs). This work compared different workflows for extracting, purifying, and an ...[more]

Project description:We have developed MetaboKit, a comprehensive software package for compound identification and relative quantification in mass spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomics analysis. In data dependent acquisition (DDA) analysis, MetaboKit constructs a customized spectral library with compound identities from reference spectral libraries, adducts, dimers, in-source fragments (ISF), MS/MS fragmentation spectra, and more importantly the retention time information unique to the chromatography system used in the experiment. Using the customized library, the software performs targeted peak integration for precursor ions in DDA analysis and for precursor and product ions in data independent acquisition (DIA) analysis. With its stringent identification algorithm requiring matches by both MS and MS/MS data, MetaboKit provides identification results with significantly greater specificity than the competing software packages without loss in sensitivity. The proposed MS/MS-based screening of ISFs also reduces the chance of unverifiable identification of ISFs considerably. MetaboKit's quantification module produced peak area values highly correlated with known concentrations in a DIA analysis of the metabolite standards at both MS1 and MS2 levels. Moreover, the analysis of Cdk1Liv-/- mouse livers showed that MetaboKit can identify a wide range of lipid species and their ISFs, and quantitatively reconstitute the well-characterized fatty liver phenotype in these mice. In DIA data, the MS1-level and MS2-level peak area data produced similar fold change estimates in the differential abundance analysis, and the MS2-level peak area data allowed for quantitative comparisons in compounds whose precursor ion chromatogram was too noisy for peak integration.
