Deep proteomic analysis of human hippocampus micro-sections provides a new avenue to identify hippocampal subfield heterogeneity in the protein expression
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Hippocampus has drawn an immense attention from researchers and clinicians worldwide due to its clinical importance in various neurodegenerative disorders. Each hippocampal subfield is known to perform distinct functions and are selectively vulnerable to environmental, physiological, and clinical factors. Therefore, proteomic analysis of hippocampus at subfield level is increasingly important, however, an in-depth proteomic analysis of human hippocampus at its subfield level is not well established to date. In this study, we compared the sub-proteome of the hippocampus- the cornu ammonis sectors (CA1, CA2, CA3 and CA4), and dentate gyrus (DG) from healthy adult human cohorts using high resolution mass spectrometry. We procured hippocampal subfields from the archived FFPE tissue sections by performing manual micro-dissection and conducted TMT label quantification-based proteomic analysis that resulted in the identification of 5,593 proteins, of which 890 proteins were differentially abundant at ≥1.5-fold cut-off across all subfields. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis was performed to uncover the biological processes, pathways and cellular localization associated with each subfield of hippocampus. IHC-based validation of selected proteins were also carried out in an independent set of hippocampus from normal subjects. We believe that our findings will effectively pave a way for further analysis of the hippocampal subdivisions and understand the etiopathology of many neurological disorders in future.
