On-tissue spatial proteomics integrating MALDI-MS imaging with shotgun proteomics reveals soy consumption-induced biomarkers in a fragile X syndrome mouse model
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Soy-based diets are associated with increased seizures and autism. Thus, there is an acute need for unbiased protein biomarker identification in Fragile X syndrome (FXS) in response to soy consumption. Herein, we present a spatial proteomics approach integrating mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) with label-free proteomics in a mouse model of FXS to map the spatial distribution and quantify the levels of proteins in the hippocampus and hypothalamus brain regions. In total, 1,004 unique peptides were spatially resolved, demonstrating the diverse array of peptidomes present on the tissue slices and the broad coverage of the strategy. A group of proteins that are known to be involved in the GABAergic system, synaptic transmission, and co-expression network analysis indicated that protein in soy group was significantly associated with metabolism and synapse modules in the Fmr1KO brain. Ultimately, this spatial proteomics work laid the ground for identifying novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers for FXS.
