Beyond target-decoy competition: stable validation of peptide and protein identifications in mass spectrometry-based discovery proteomics

ABSTRACT: Target-decoy competition (TDC) is the most popular method for false discovery rate (FDR) control in bottom-up discovery proteomics. Despite unquestionable statistical foundations, we unveil a so far unknown weakness of TDC: its intrinsic lack of stability vis-à-vis practical conditions of application. Although some consequences of this instability have already been empirically described, they may have been misinterpreted. This work pinpoints evidence that TDC will become less reliable along with improved accuracies of modern mass spectrometers. We therefore propose to replace TDC by a totally different method to control the FDR at spectrum, peptide and protein levels, while benefiting from the theoretical guarantees of Benjamini-Hochberg framework. This method being simpler to use, faster to compute and more stable than TDC, we argue that it is more adapted to the standardization and throughput constraints of nowadays proteomic platforms.

In bottom-up discovery proteomics, target-decoy competition (TDC) is the most popular method for false discovery rate (FDR) control. Despite unquestionable statistical foundations, this method has drawbacks, including its hitherto unknown intrinsic lack of stability vis-à-vis practical conditions of application. Although some consequences of this instability have already been empirically described, they may have been misinterpreted. This article provides evidence that TDC has become less reliabl ...[more]

Project description:Inflammation is the natural defensive response of the immune system to an injury or infection and is regulated by small molecule mediators triggering different phases of the inflammatory process. In particular, lipid mediators (LM) and cytokines exhibit crucial regulatory functions in the progression and resolution of inflammation. Macrophages play a central role in this process and can adopt distinct phenotypes with specialized functions depending on their microenvironment: inflammatory M1 macrophages drive inflammation by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and LMs, like prostaglandins (PG) and leukotrienes (LT), while resolving M2 macrophages promote inflammation resolution and tissue regeneration by production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and specialized pro resolving mediators (SPM). Aging is associated with chronic and unresolved, low-grade inflammation (“inflammaging”) and aging-related dysfunction of macrophages in the resolution of inflammation and tissue maintenance has been reported. Yet, the underlying molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of latter processes remain poorly understood. Here, we show that polarization of peritoneal macrophages (PM) from geriatric mice towards an M2-like phenotype is impaired versus adult mice, resulting in aberrant LM formation and cytokine release. In PMs isolated from adult mice (PM-A) we observed a shift in LM formation from PGs and LTs to SPMs already after 4 h of polarization towards M2 with interleukin (IL) 4. In contrast, PMs from geriatric mice (PM-G) produced mainly LTs and PGs upon polarization. This pattern persists over the course of 48 h of polarization. Proteomic profiling revealed that polarization of PM A towards M2 yields a more distinct phenotype, clearly separated from M1, when compared to PM-G. We observed similar aging-related changes in the lipidome and cytokine profile of spleen, lung and liver tissue from mice. Hence, we hypothesize that during aging macrophage polarization towards M2 is impaired, which in turn drives chronic inflammation and disturbs tissue maintenance. By combining state-of-the art lipidomic and proteomic profiling we aim to uncover new molecular targets for pharmaceutical interventions to improve therapeutic strategies for elderly patients with chronic inflammatory diseases.
