Calvete JJ, Lomonte B, Saviola AJ, Calderón Celis F, Ruiz Encinar J. Quantification of snake venom proteomes by mass spectrometry-considerations and perspectives. MASS SPECTROMETRY REVIEWS 2024; 43:977-997. [PMID: 37155340 DOI: 10.1002/mas.21850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
The advent of soft ionization mass spectrometry-based proteomics in the 1990s led to the development of a new dimension in biology that conceptually allows for the integral analysis of whole proteomes. This transition from a reductionist to a global-integrative approach is conditioned to the capability of proteomic platforms to generate and analyze complete qualitative and quantitative proteomics data. Paradoxically, the underlying analytical technique, molecular mass spectrometry, is inherently nonquantitative. The turn of the century witnessed the development of analytical strategies to endow proteomics with the ability to quantify proteomes of model organisms in the sense of "an organism for which comprehensive molecular (genomic and/or transcriptomic) resources are available." This essay presents an overview of the strategies and the lights and shadows of the most popular quantification methods highlighting the common misuse of label-free approaches developed for model species' when applied to quantify the individual components of proteomes of nonmodel species (In this essay we use the term "non-model" organisms for species lacking comprehensive molecular (genomic and/or transcriptomic) resources, a circumstance that, as we detail in this review-essay, conditions the quantification of their proteomes.). We also point out the opportunity of combining elemental and molecular mass spectrometry systems into a hybrid instrumental configuration for the parallel identification and absolute quantification of venom proteomes. The successful application of this novel mass spectrometry configuration in snake venomics represents a proof-of-concept for a broader and more routine application of hybrid elemental/molecular mass spectrometry setups in other areas of the proteomics field, such as phosphoproteomics, metallomics, and in general in any biological process where a heteroatom (i.e., any atom other than C, H, O, N) forms integral part of its mechanism.

Abstract
Drug resistance remains one of the main causes of poor outcome in cancer therapy. It is also becoming evident that drug resistance to both chemotherapy and to antibiotics is driven by more than one mechanism. So far, there are at least eight recognized mechanisms behind such resistance. In this review, we choose to discuss one of these mechanisms, which is known to be partially driven by a class of transmembrane proteins known as ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. In normal tissues, ABC transporters protect the cells from the toxic effects of xenobiotics, whereas in tumor cells, they reduce the intracellular concentrations of anticancer drugs, which ultimately leads to the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR). A deeper understanding of the structures and the biology of these proteins is central to current efforts to circumvent resistance to both chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and antibiotics. Understanding the biology and the function of these proteins requires detailed structural and conformational information for this class of membrane proteins. For many years, such structural information has been mainly provided by X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. More recently, mass spectrometry-based methods assumed an important role in the area of structural and conformational characterization of this class of proteins. The contribution of this technique to structural biology has been enhanced by its combination with liquid chromatography and ion mobility, as well as more refined labelling protocols and the use of more efficient fragmentation methods, which allow the detection and localization of labile post-translational modifications. In this review, we discuss the contribution of mass spectrometry to efforts to characterize some members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins and why such a contribution is relevant to efforts to clarify the link between the overexpression of these proteins and the most widespread mechanism of chemoresistance.

Abstract
In most lymphomas, p53 signaling pathway is inactivated by various mechanisms independent to p53 gene mutations or deletions. In many cases, p53 function is largely regulated by alterations in the protein abundance levels by the action of E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase MDM2, targeting p53 to proteasome-mediated degradation. In the present study, an integrating transcriptomics and proteomics analysis was employed to investigate the effect of p53 activation by a small-molecule MDM2-antagonist, nutlin-3a, on three lymphoma cell models following p53 activation. Our analysis revealed a system-wide nutlin-3a-associated effect in all examined lymphoma types, identifying in total of 4037 differentially affected proteins involved in a plethora of pathways, with significant heterogeneity among lymphomas. Our findings include known p53-targets and novel p53 activation effects, involving transcription, translation, or degradation of protein components of pathways, such as a decrease in key members of PI3K/mTOR pathway, heat-shock response, and glycolysis, and an increase in key members of oxidative phoshosphorylation, autophagy and mitochondrial translation. Combined inhibition of HSP90 or PI3K/mTOR pathway with nutlin-3a-mediated p53-activation enhanced the apoptotic effects suggesting a promising strategy against human lymphomas. Integrated omic profiling after p53 activation offered novel insights on the regulatory role specific proteins and pathways may have in lymphomagenesis.

Abstract
The identification of thousands of proteins and their relative levels of expression has furthered understanding of biological processes and disease and stimulated new systems biology hypotheses. Quantitative proteomics workflows that rely on analytical assays such as mass spectrometry have facilitated high-throughput measurements of proteins partially due to multiplexing. Multiplexing allows proteome differences across multiple samples to be measured simultaneously, resulting in more accurate quantitation, increased statistical robustness, reduced analysis times, and lower experimental costs. The number of samples that can be multiplexed has evolved from as few as two to more than 50, with studies involving more than 10 samples being denoted as enhanced multiplexing or hyperplexing. In this review, we give an update on emerging multiplexing proteomics techniques and highlight advantages and limitations for enhanced multiplexing strategies.

Abstract
The antigens for acellular pertussis vaccines are made up of protein components that are purified directly from Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) bacterial fermentation. As such, there are additional B. pertussis toxins that must be monitored as residuals during process optimization. This paper describes a liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for simultaneous analysis of residual protein toxins adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT) and dermonecrotic toxin (DNT), as well as a small molecule glycopeptide, tracheal cytotoxin (TCT) in a Pertussis toxin vaccine antigen. A targeted LC-MS technique called multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) is used for quantitation of ACT and TCT, which have established limits in drug product formulations. However, DNT is currently monitored in an animal test, which does not have an established quantitative threshold. New approaches for DNT testing are discussed, including a novel standard based on concatenated quantitation sequences for ACT and DNT. Collectively, the method represents a “3-in-1” analytical simplification for monitoring process-related residuals during development of B. pertussis vaccines.

Abstract
In the past decade, relative proteomic quantification using isobaric labeling technology has developed into a key tool for comparing the expression of proteins in biological samples. Although its multiplexing capacity and flexibility make this a valuable technology for addressing various biological questions, its quantitative accuracy and precision still pose significant challenges to the reliability of its quantification results. Here, we give a detailed overview of the different kinds of isobaric mass tags and the advantages and disadvantages of the isobaric labeling method. We also discuss which precautions should be taken at each step of the isobaric labeling workflow, to obtain reliable quantification results in large-scale quantitative proteomics experiments. In the last section, we discuss the broad applications of the isobaric labeling technology in biological and clinical studies, with an emphasis on thermal proteome profiling and proteogenomics.

Abstract
Pituitary adenoma is considered as one of the most frequent intracranial tumors having salient impact on human health such as mass effects, hypopituitarism and visual defects etc. During the past few decades, there has been enormous advancement in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. However, very little is known about the molecular pathogenesis of pituitary adenomas in the context of proteomics. In this review article, we have focused on the provenance of pituitary tumors and their pathogenesis with the help of MS-based proteomics approaches. Recent advancements in quantitative proteomic approaches are outlined here that would be useful in the near pituitary adenoma proteomics research. This review discusses the enormous potential of pituitary adenomas research through proteomics with a common aim of deciphering disease pathobiology and identifying the work done in studying pituitary tumors during past decade.

Abstract
Sulfur mustard (SM) is a banned chemical warfare agent recently used in the Syrian Arab Republic conflict causing erythema and blisters characterized by complicated and delayed wound healing. For medical and legal reasons, the proof of exposure to SM is of high toxicological and forensic relevance. SM reacts with endogenous human serum albumin (HSA adducts) alkylating the thiol group of the cysteine residue C34, thus causing the addition of the hydroxyethylthioethyl (HETE) moiety. Following proteolysis with pronase, the biomarker dipeptide C(-HETE)P is produced. To expand the possibilities for verification of exposure, we herein introduce a novel biomarker produced from that alkylated dipeptide by derivatization with propionic anhydride inducing the selective propionylation of the N-terminus yielding PA-C(-HETE)P. Quantitative derivatization is carried out at room temperature in aqueous buffer within 10 s. The biomarker was found to be stable in the autosampler at 15 °C for at least 24 h, thus documenting its suitability even for larger sets of samples. Selective and sensitive detection is done by micro liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem-mass spectrometry (μLC-ESI MS/MS) operating in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode detecting product ions of the single protonated PA-C(-HETE)P (m/z 379.1) at m/z 116.1, m/z 137.0, and m/z 105.0. The lower limit of detection corresponds to 32 nM SM in plasma in vitro and the limit of identification to 160 nM. The applicability to real exposure scenarios was proven by analyzing samples from the Middle East confirming poisoning with SM. ![]()

Abstract
Sulfur mustard (SM, bis[2-chloroethyl]-sulfide) is a banned chemical warfare agent that was frequently used in recent years and led to numerous poisoned victims who developed painful erythema and blisters. Post-exposure analysis of SM incorporation can be performed by the detection of human serum albumin (HSA)-derived peptides. HSA alkylated by SM contains a hydroxyethylthioethyl (HETE)-moiety bound to the cysteine residue C34 yielding the dipeptide biomarker C(-HETE)P after pronase-catalyzed proteolysis. We herein present a novel procedure for the selective precolumn nicotinylation of its N-terminus using 1-nicotinoyloxy-succinimide. The reaction was carried out for 2 h at ambient temperature with a yield of 81%. The derivative NA-C(-HETE)P was analyzed by micro liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem-mass spectrometry working in the selected reaction monitoring mode (μLC-ESI MS/MS SRM). The derivative was shown to be stable in the autosampler at 15°C for at least 24 h. The single protonated precursor ion (m/z 428.1) was subjected to collision-induced dissociation yielding product ions at m/z 116.1, m/z 137.0, and m/z 105.0 used for selective monitoring without any plasma-derived interferences. NA-C(-HETE)P showed a mass spectrometric response superior to the non-derivatized dipeptide thus yielding larger peak areas (factor 1.3 ± 0.2). The lower limit of identification corresponded to 80 nM SM spiked to plasma in vitro. The presented procedure was applied to real case plasma samples from 2015 collected in the Middle East confirming SM poisoning.

Abstract
Bacteriophages are viruses whose ubiquity in nature and remarkable specificity to their host bacteria enable an impressive and growing field of tunable biotechnologies in agriculture and public health. Bacteriophage capsids, which house and protect their nucleic acids, have been modified with a range of functionalities (e.g., fluorophores, nanoparticles, antigens, drugs) to suit their final application. Functional groups naturally present on bacteriophage capsids can be used for electrostatic adsorption or bioconjugation, but their impermanence and poor specificity can lead to inconsistencies in coverage and function. To overcome these limitations, researchers have explored both genetic and chemical modifications to enable strong, specific bonds between phage capsids and their target conjugates. Genetic modification methods involve introducing genes for alternative amino acids, peptides, or protein sequences into either the bacteriophage genomes or capsid genes on host plasmids to facilitate recombinant phage generation. Chemical modification methods rely on reacting functional groups present on the capsid with activated conjugates under the appropriate solution pH and salt conditions. This review surveys the current state-of-the-art in both genetic and chemical bacteriophage capsid modification methodologies, identifies major strengths and weaknesses of methods, and discusses areas of research needed to propel bacteriophage technology in development of biosensors, vaccines, therapeutics, and nanocarriers.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the largest contributors to the burden of chronic disease in the world and is the second leading cause of death globally. It is associated with episodes of low-oxygen stress (hypoxia or ischemia/reperfusion) that promotes cancer progression and therapeutic resistance. Efforts have been made in the past using traditional proteomic approaches to decipher oxygen deprivation stress-related mechanisms of the disease initiation and progression and to identify key proteins as a therapeutic target for the treatment and prevention. Despite the potential benefits of proteomic in translational research for the discovery of new drugs, the therapeutic outcome with this approach has not met expectations in clinical trials. This is mainly due to the disease complexity which possess a multifaceted molecular pathology. Therefore, novel strategies to identify and characterize clinically important sets of modulators and molecular events for multi-target drug discovery are needed. Here, we review important past and current studies on proteomics in cancer with an emphasis on recent pioneered labeling approaches in mass spectrometry (MS)-based systematic quantitative analysis to improve clinical success. We also discuss the results of the selected innovative publications that integrate advanced proteomic technologies (e.g. MALDI-MSI, pSILAC/SILAC/iTRAQ/TMT-LC-MS/MS, MRM-MS) for comprehensive analysis of proteome dynamics in different biosystems, including cell type, cell species, and subcellular proteome (i.e. secretome and chromatome). Finally, we discuss the future direction and challenges in the application of these technological advancements in mass spectrometry within the context of cancer and hypoxia.

Abstract
The inclusion of preliminary chemical labeling (derivatization) in the analysis process by such powerful and widespread methods as electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) is a popular and widely used methodological approach. This is due to the need to remove some fundamental limitations inherent in these powerful analytic methods. Although a number of special reviews has been published discussing the utilization of derivatization approaches, the purpose of the present critical review is to comprehensively summarize, characterize and evaluate most of the previously developed and practically applied, as well as recently proposed representative derivatization reagents for ESI-MS and MALDI-MS platforms in their mostly sensitive positive ion mode and frequently hyphenated with separation techniques. The review is focused on the use of preliminary chemical labeling to facilitate the detection, identification, structure elucidation, quantification, profiling or MS imaging of compounds within complex matrices. Two main derivatization approaches, namely the introduction of permanent charge-fixed or highly proton affinitive residues into analytes are critically evaluated. In situ charge-generation, charge-switch and charge-transfer derivatizations are considered separately. The potential of using reactive matrices in MALDI-MS and chemical labeling in MS-based omics sciences is given.

Abstract
Protein labeling methods prior to separation and analysis have become indispensable approaches for proteomic profiling. Basically, three different types of tags are employed: stable isotopes, mass tags, and fluorophores. While proteins labeled with stable isotopes and mass tags are measured and differentiated by mass spectrometry, fluorescent labels are detected with fluorescence imagers. The major purposes for protein labeling are monitoring of biological processes, reliable quantification of compounds and specific detection of protein modifications and isoforms in multiplexed samples, enhancement of detection sensitivity, and simplification of detection workflows. Proteins can be labeled during cell growth by incorporation of amino acids containing different isotopes, or in biological fluids, cells or tissue samples by attaching specific groups to the ε-amino group of lysine, the N-terminus, or the cysteine residues. The principles and the modifications of the different labeling approaches on the protein level are described; benefits and shortcomings of the methods are discussed.

Abstract
In clinical lipidomics, it is a challenge to measure a large number of samples and to reproduce the quantitative results. We expanded the range of application of the tandem mass tag (TMT) method, which is widely used in proteomics, to lipidomic fields. There are various types of lipid molecule, for example, eicosanoids have a carboxyl group and phosphatidic acid has a phosphate group. We modified these functional groups simultaneously with TMT. This approach allows for a single analysis by mixing six samples and using one of the six samples as a bridging sample; the quantitative data can be easily normalized even if the number of measurements increases. To accommodate a large number of samples, we utilize a pooled serum sample of 300 individuals as a bridging sample. The stability of these lipid molecules in serum was examined as an analytical validation for the simultaneous TMT labeling. It was found that the stability of these lipid molecules in serum differs greatly depending on the lipid species. These findings reaffirmed the importance of proper sample preparation and storage to obtain reliable data. The TMT labeling method is expected to be a useful method for lipidomics with high-throughput and reliable reproducibility.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Viruses induce profound changes in the cells they infect. Understanding these perturbations will assist in designing better therapeutics to combat viral infection. System-based proteomic assays now provide unprecedented opportunity to monitor large numbers of cellular proteins. AREAS COVERED This review will describe various quantitative and functional mass spectrometry-based methods, and complementary non-mass spectrometry-based methods, such as aptamer profiling and proximity extension assays, and examples of how each are used to delineate how viruses affect host cells, identify which viral proteins interact with which cellular proteins, and how these change during the course of a viral infection. PubMed was searched multiple times prior to manuscript submissions and revisions, using virus, viral, proteomics; in combination with each keyword. The most recent examples of published works from each search were then analyzed. EXPERT OPINION There has been exponential growth in numbers and types of proteomic analyses in recent years. Continued development of reagents that allow increased multiplexing and deeper proteomic probing of the cell, at quantitative and functional levels, enhancements that target more important protein modifications, and improved bioinformatics software tools and pathway prediction algorithms will accelerate this growth and usher in a new era of host proteome understanding.

Abstract
Dimethyl labeling is a type of stable-isotope labeling suitable for creating isotopic variants of peptides and thus be utilized for quantitative proteomics experiments. Labeling is achieved through a reductive amination/alkylation reaction using the low-cost reagents formaldehyde and cyanoborohydride, resulting in dimethylation of free amine groups of Lys and N-termini. Availability of isotopomeric forms of these reagents allows for the generation of up to six different isotopic variants. Here we describe the application of dimethylation to create two isotopic variants, light and heavy, differing in 4 Da, to label the total tryptic digest peptides of cocoa pod extracted from healthy pods from cultivars susceptible and resistant to the fungal disease called "frosty pod" caused by Moniliophthora roreri.

Abstract
Recent advances in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics have enabled tremendous progress in the understanding of cellular mechanisms, disease progression, and the relationship between genotype and phenotype. Though many popular bioinformatics methods in proteomics are derived from other omics studies, novel analysis strategies are required to deal with the unique characteristics of proteomics data. In this review, we discuss the current developments in the bioinformatics methods used in proteomics and how they facilitate the mechanistic understanding of biological processes. We first introduce bioinformatics software and tools designed for mass spectrometry-based protein identification and quantification, and then we review the different statistical and machine learning methods that have been developed to perform comprehensive analysis in proteomics studies. We conclude with a discussion of how quantitative protein data can be used to reconstruct protein interactions and signaling networks.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is one of the most sensitive tools for determination of trace amounts of analytes in metabolomics and proteomics. The highest sensitivity is achieved in selected reaction monitoring detection, which involves fragmentation of the molecular ion between two levels of mass selection. However, fragmentation of some compounds is complicated. Detection sensitivity of such analytes may be increased by derivatizing them with a specific moiety fragmentation of which results in product ion of high abundance. In this work, we reveal the influence of iminium ions' structures on their stability by comparing six nitrogen-containing cyclic compounds as derivatization reagents for tandem mass spectrometric analysis of amino group-containing analyte. Commercially available starting materials (piperidine, 2,6-dimethylpiperidine, 1-methylpiperazine, morpholine, pyrrolidine and 1-cyanomethyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquid) were used for the synthesis of corresponding carboxylic acids which were further used for derivatization of the model analyte tryptamine. Liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of differently derivatized tryptamine was performed for the evaluation of release and stability of corresponding iminium ions under collision-induced dissociation conditions. As a result, morpholine moiety was shown being the most promising iminium ion source among tested compounds. Possible sub-fragmentation pathways of investigated iminium ions were discussed, and the structures of secondary product ions were proposed.

Abstract
Quantitation methods for peptides using mass spectrometry have advanced rapidly. These methods rely on using standard and/or isotope-labeled peptides, which might be difficult or expensive to synthesize. To tackle this challenge, we present a new approach for absolute quantitation without the use of standards or calibration curves based on coulometry combined with mass spectrometry (MS). In this approach, which we call coulometric mass spectrometry (CMS), the mass spectrum of a target peptide containing one or more tyrosine residues is recorded before and after undergoing electrochemical oxidation. We record the total integrated oxidation current from the electrochemical measurement, which according to the Faraday's Law of coulometry, provides the number of moles of oxidized peptide. The ion intensity ratio of the target peptide before and after oxidation provides an excellent estimate of the fraction of the peptide that has been oxidized, from which the total amount of peptide is calculated. The striking strength of CMS is that it needs no standard peptide, but CMS does require the peptide to contain a known number of oxidizable groups. To illustrate the power of this method, we analyzed various tyrosine-containing peptides such as GGYR, DRVY, oxytocin, [Arg8]-vasotocin and angiotensinogen 1-14 with a quantification error ranging from - 7.5 to + 2.4%. This approach is also applicable to quantifying phosphopeptides and could be useful in proteomics research.

Abstract
Isotope-labeling-based mass spectrometry (MS) is widely used in quantitative proteomic studies. With this technique, the relative abundance of thousands of proteins can be efficiently profiled in parallel, greatly facilitating the detection of proteins differentially expressed across samples. However, this task remains computationally challenging. Here we present a new approach, termed Model-based Analysis of Proteomic data (MAP), for this task. Unlike many existing methods, MAP does not require technical replicates to model technical and systematic errors, and instead utilizes a novel step-by-step regression analysis to directly assess the significance of observed protein abundance changes. We applied MAP to compare the proteomic profiles of undifferentiated and differentiated mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), and found it has superior performance compared with existing tools in detecting proteins differentially expressed during mESC differentiation. A web-based application of MAP is provided for online data processing at http://bioinfo.sibs.ac.cn/shaolab/MAP.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based quantification method has advanced rapidly. In general, the methods for accurate quantification rely on the use of authentic target compounds or isotope-labeled compounds as standards, which might be not available or difficult to synthesize. To tackle this grand challenge, this paper presents a novel approach, based on electrochemistry (EC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS). In this approach, a target compound is allowed to undergo electrochemical oxidation and then subject to MS analysis. The oxidation current recorded from electrochemistry (EC) measurement provides information about the amount of the oxidized analyte, based on the Faraday's Law. On the other hand, the oxidation reaction yield can be determined from the analyte MS signal changes upon electrolysis. Therefore, the total amount of analyte can be determined. In combination with liquid chromatography (LC), the method can be applicable to mixture analysis. The striking strength of such a method for quantitation is that neither standard compound nor calibration curve is required. Various analyte molecules such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and rutin as well as peptide glutathione in low quantity were successfully quantified using our method with the quantification error ranging from - 2.6 to + 4.6%. Analyte in a complicated matrix (e.g., uric acid in urine) was also accurately measured. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
Determining changes in protein expression and post-translational modifications (PTMs) is crucial for elucidating cellular signal transduction and disease mechanisms. Conventional antibody-based approaches have inherent problems such as the limited availability of high-quality antibodies and batch-to-batch variation. Top-down mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has emerged as the most powerful method for characterization and quantification of protein modifications. Nevertheless, robust methods to simultaneously determine changes in protein expression and PTMs remain lacking. Herein, we have developed a straightforward and robust top-down liquid chromatography (LC)/MS-based targeted proteomics platform for simultaneous quantification of protein expression and PTMs with high throughput and high reproducibility. We employed this method to analyze the sarcomeric subproteome from various muscle types of different species, which successfully revealed skeletal muscle heterogeneity and cardiac developmental changes in sarcomeric protein isoform expression and PTMs. As demonstrated, this targeted top-down proteomics platform offers an excellent 'antibody-independent' alternative for the accurate quantification of sarcomeric protein expression and PTMs concurrently in complex mixtures, which is generally applicable to different species and various tissue types.

Abstract
Modern mass spectrometry is one of the most frequently used methods of quantitative proteomics, enabling determination of the amount of peptides in a sample. Although mass spectrometry is not inherently a quantitative method due to differences in the ionization efficiency of various analytes, the application of isotope-coded labeling allows relative quantification of proteins and proteins. Over the past decade, a new method for derivatization of tryptic peptides using isobaric labels has been proposed. The labels consist of reporter and balanced groups. They have the same molecular weights and chemical properties, but differ in the distribution of stable heavy isotopes. These tags are designed in such a way that during high energy collision induced dissociation (CID) by tandem mass spectrometry, the isobaric tag is fragmented in the specific linker region, yielding reporter ions with different masses. The mass shifts among the reporter groups are compensated by the balancing groups so that the overall mass is the same for all forms of the reagent. Samples of peptides are labeled with the isobaric mass tags in parallel and combined for analysis. Quantification of individual peptides is achieved by comparing the intensity of reporter ions in the tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra. Isobaric markers have found a wide range of potential applications in proteomics. However, the currently available isobaric labeling reagents have some drawbacks, such as high cost of production, insufficient selectivity of the derivatization, and relatively limited enhancement of sensitivity of the analysis. Therefore, efforts have been devoted to the development of new isobaric markers with increased usability. The search for new isobaric markers is focused on developing a more selective method of introducing a tag into a peptide molecule, increasing the multiplexicity of markers, lowering the cost of synthesis, and increasing the sensitivity of measurement by using ionization tags containing quaternary ammonium salts. Here, the trends in the design of new isobaric labeling reagents for quantitative proteomics isobaric derivatization strategies in proteomics are reviewed, with a particular emphasis on isobaric ionization tags. The presented review focused on different types of isobaric reagents used in quantitative proteomics, their chemistry, and advantages offer by their application.

Abstract
Proteomics has become an attractive science in the postgenomic era, given its capacity to identify up to thousands of molecules in a single, complex sample and quantify them in an absolute and/or relative manner. The use of these techniques enables understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms of diseases and other biological conditions, as well as identification and screening of protein biomarkers. Here we provide a straightforward, up-to-date compilation and comparison of the main quantitation techniques used in comparative proteomics such as in vitro and in vivo stable isotope labeling and label-free techniques. Additionally, this chapter includes common methods for data acquisition in proteomics and some appropriate methods for data processing. This compilation can serve as a reference for scientists who are new to, or already familiar with, quantitative proteomics.

Abstract
Collagen hydrolysates (CHs) are heterogeneous mixtures of collagen peptides that are often used as nutraceuticals for osteoarthritis (OA). In this study, we compared the peptide composition and pharmacological effects of three different CH preparations (CH-Alpha®, Peptan® B 2000 and Mobiforte®) as well as their production batches. Our biochemical analysis using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and the ICPL™-isotope labelling method revealed marked differences between different CH preparations and even between some production batches of the same preparation. We also investigated the pharmacological effects of these CHs on human fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). No significant effects on cultured FLS could be demonstrated for either production batch of CH-Alpha®, Peptan® B 2000, and Mobiforte® analyzing a small number of pharmacological relevant targets. Thus, our study already shows for the first time that different production batches of the same CH preparation as well as different CH preparations can differ significantly in their peptide composition. In this line, further studies are also needed to verify equal pharmacological efficacy of CH batches on a much broader range of (patho)physiological relevant targets. If OA patients are to be offered a safe and effective nutraceutical a better knowledge about all potential effects as well as ensuring the same active-substance levels are a prerequisite.

Abstract
Background Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common and aggressive tumor of the brain. Genotype-based approaches and independent analyses of the transcriptome or the proteome have led to progress in understanding the underlying biology of GB. Joint transcriptome and proteome profiling may reveal new biological insights, and identify pathogenic mechanisms or therapeutic targets for GB therapy. We present a comparison of transcriptome and proteome data from five GB biopsies (TZ) vs their corresponding peritumoral brain zone (PBZ). Omic analyses were performed using RNA microarray chips and the isotope-coded protein label method (ICPL). Results As described in other cancers, we found a poor correlation between transcriptome and proteome data in GB. We observed only two commonly deregulated mRNAs/proteins (neurofilament light polypeptide and synapsin 1) and 12 altered biological processes; they are related to cell communication, synaptic transmission and nervous system processes. This poor correlation may be a consequence of the techniques used to produce the omic profiles, the intrinsic properties of mRNA and proteins and/or of cancer- or GB-specific phenomena. Of interest, the analysis of the transcription factor binding sites present upstream from the open reading frames of all altered proteins identified by ICPL method shows a common binding site for the topoisomerase I and p53-binding protein TOPORS. Its expression was observed in 7/11 TZ samples and not in PBZ. Some findings suggest that TOPORS may function as a tumor suppressor; its implication in gliomagenesis should be examined in future studies. Conclusions In this study, we showed a low correlation between transcriptome and proteome data for GB samples as described in other cancer tissues. We observed that NEFL, SYN1 and 12 biological processes were deregulated in both the transcriptome and proteome data. It will be important to analyze more specifically these processes and these two proteins to allow the identification of new theranostic markers or potential therapeutic targets for GB.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics is a powerful tool for gaining insights into function and dynamics of biological systems. However, peptides with different sequences have different ionization efficiencies, and their intensities in a mass spectrum are not correlated with their abundances. Therefore, various label-free or stable isotope label-based quantitation methods have emerged to assist mass spectrometry to perform comparative proteomic experiments, thus enabling nonbiased identification of thousands of proteins differentially expressed in healthy versus diseased cells. Here, we discuss the most widely used label-free and metabolic-, enzymatic-, and chemical labeling-based proteomic strategies for relative and absolute quantitation. We summarize the specific strengths and weaknesses of each technique in terms of quantification accuracy, proteome coverage, multiplexing capability, and robustness. Applications of each strategy for solving specific biological complexities are also presented.

Abstract
This study utilizes 2D-DIGE (difference gel etrophoresis), isotope-coded protein labeling and biochemical assays to characterize protein alteration in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) in human epithelial cell and mucosal biopsies in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-affected patients. The aim of this study is to identify the key molecular signatures involved in epithelial cell structure of IBDs. In non-inflamed UC (QUC) keratins, vimentin, and focal adhesion kinase (7) increased, whereas vinculin and de-tyrosinated α-tubulin decreased; inflammation (IUC) exacerbated molecular changes, being collagen type VI alpha 1 chain (COL6A1), tenascin-C and vimentin increased. In non-inflamed CD (QCD), tenascin C, de-tyrosinated α-tubulin, vinculin, FAK, and Rho-associated protein kinase 1 (ROCK1) decreased while vimentin increased. In inflamed CD (ICD), COL6A1, vimentin and integrin alpha 4 increased. In QUC, cell metabolism is characterized by a decrease of the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes and a decrease of short/branched chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, fatty acid synthase, proliferator-activated receptors alpha, and proliferator-activated receptors gamma. In QCD a metabolic rewiring occurs, as suggested by glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD2), pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit beta, NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] iron-sulfur protein 3, and 4-trimethylaminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase increment, while dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase decreased. Macroautophagy is activated in QUC and IUC, with increased levels of p62, HSC70, major vault protein, myosin heavy chain 9, whereas it is blunted in QCD and ICD. The differing pattern of extracellular matrix, cytoskeletal derangements, cellular metabolism, and autophagy in UC and CD may contribute to the pathophysiological understanding of these disorders and serve as diagnostic markers in IBD patients.

Abstract
Protein production using processed cell lysates is a core technology in synthetic biology and these systems are excellent to produce difficult toxins or membrane proteins. However, the composition of the central lysate of cell-free systems is still a "black box". Escherichia coli lysates are most productive for cell-free expression, yielding several mgs of protein per ml of reaction. Their preparation implies proteome fractionation, resulting in strongly biased and yet unknown lysate compositions. Many metabolic pathways are expected to be truncated or completely removed. The lack of knowledge of basic cell-free lysate proteomes is a major bottleneck for directed lysate engineering approaches as well as for assay design using non-purified reaction mixtures. This study is starting to close this gap by providing a blueprint of the S30 lysate proteome derived from the commonly used E. coli strain A19. S30 lysates are frequently used for cell-free protein production and represent the basis of most commercial E. coli cell-free expression systems. A fraction of 821 proteins was identified as the core proteome in S30 lysates, representing approximately a quarter of the known E. coli proteome. Its classification into functional groups relevant for transcription/translation, folding, stability and metabolic processes will build the framework for tailored cell-free reactions. As an example, we show that SOS response induction during cultivation results in tuned S30 lysate with better folding capacity, and improved solubility and activity of synthesized proteins. The presented data and protocols can serve as a platform for the generation of customized cell-free systems and product analysis.

Abstract
A hypoxic microenvironment effects various signaling pathways in the human body, including those that are critical for normal physiology and those that support tumorigenesis or cancer progression. A hypoxic tumor microenvironment, in particular, modulates cell migration, invasion and resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Development of the mass spectrometry (MS) technique has allowed for expansion of proteomic study to a wide variety of fields, with the study of tumor hypoxia being among the latest to enjoy its benefits. In such studies, changes in the proteome of tumor tissue or cells induced by the hypoxic conditions are analyzed. A multitude of hypoxic regulatory proteins have already been identified, increasing our understanding of the mechanisms underlying tumor occurrence and development and representing candidate reference markers for tumor diagnosis and therapy. The present review provides the first summary of the collective studies on tumor microenvironment hypoxia that have been completed using MS-based proteomic techniques, providing a systematic discussion of the benefits and current challenges of the various applications.

Abstract
Proteomics is a rapidly growing area of biological research that is positively affecting plant science. Recent advances in proteomic technology, such as mass spectrometry, can now identify a broad range of proteins and monitor their modulation during plant growth and development, as well as during responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. In this review, we highlight recent proteomic studies of commercial crops and discuss the advances in understanding of the proteomes of these crops.

Abstract
Human migration, influenced by social conflict and natural disasters as well as global climate change, has become recognized as a major "planetary force." It has also brought to the forefront, new specialties of integrative biology-such as high-altitude medicine-and the impact of hitherto understudied environmental factors on human pathophysiology in these new geographical settings. For people migrating to or living in high-altitude regions, environmental hypoxia is a primary challenge. Decreased partial pressure of oxygen in environmental air, caused by lower barometric pressure, puts living organisms in a hypoxic state. When there is a serious inability to adapt, death may ensue. Research efforts over the past few years have applied mass spectrometry-based proteomics analyses to uncover the mechanisms of hypoxia-related high-altitude pathophysiology. The differential proteomic profiles in plasma and tissues under high-altitude hypoxia conditions, as compared with sea level controls, and the multitudinous hypoxia-specific proteins identified elucidate mechanisms underlying high-altitude hypoxia acclimatization and diseases, and provide a foundation for development of new therapeutic, prophylactic, and diagnostic approaches. In this expert review and innovation analysis, we highlight the current proteomics findings on high-altitude hypoxia, and suggest paths forward toward effective interventions to address this key challenge in high-altitude medicine.

Abstract
There is an increasing demand to analyze many biological samples for disease understanding and biomarker discovery. Quantitative proteomics strategies that allow simultaneous measurement of multiple samples have become widespread and greatly reduce experimental costs and times. Our laboratory developed a technique called combined precursor isotopic labeling and isobaric tagging (cPILOT), which enhances sample multiplexing of traditional isotopic labeling or isobaric tagging approaches. Global cPILOT can be applied to samples originating from cells, tissues, bodily fluids, or whole organisms and gives information on relative protein abundances across different sample conditions. cPILOT works by 1) using low pH buffer conditions to selectively dimethylate peptide N-termini and 2) using high pH buffer conditions to label primary amines of lysine residues with commercially-available isobaric reagents (see Table of Materials/Reagents). The degree of sample multiplexing available is dependent on the number of precursor labels used and the isobaric tagging reagent. Here, we present a 12-plex analysis using light and heavy dimethylation combined with six-plex isobaric reagents to analyze 12 samples from mouse tissues in a single analysis. Enhanced multiplexing is helpful for reducing experimental time and cost and more importantly, allowing comparison across many sample conditions (biological replicates, disease stage, drug treatments, genotypes, or longitudinal time-points) with less experimental bias and error. In this work, the global cPILOT approach is used to analyze brain, heart, and liver tissues across biological replicates from an Alzheimer's disease mouse model and wild-type controls. Global cPILOT can be applied to study other biological processes and adapted to increase sample multiplexing to greater than 20 samples.

Gruber W, Scheidt T, Aberger F, Huber CG. Understanding cell signaling in cancer stem cells for targeted therapy - can phosphoproteomics help to reveal the secrets? Cell Commun Signal 2017; 15:12. [PMID: 28356110 PMCID: PMC5372284 DOI: 10.1186/s12964-017-0166-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2016] [Accepted: 03/13/2017] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Cancer represents heterogeneous and aberrantly proliferative manifestations composed of (epi)genetically and phenotypically distinct cells with a common clonal origin. Cancer stem cells (CSC) make up a rare subpopulation with the remarkable capacity to initiate, propagate and spread a malignant disease. Furthermore, CSC show increased therapy resistance, thereby contributing to disease relapse. Elimination of CSC, therefore, is a crucial aim to design efficacious treatments for long-term survival of cancer patients. In this article, we highlight the nature of CSC and propose that phosphoproteomics based on unbiased high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry provides a powerful tool to decipher the molecular CSC programs. Detailed knowledge about the regulation of signaling processes in CSC is a prerequisite for the development of patient-tailored multi-modal treatments including the elimination of rare CSC. Main body Phosphorylation is a crucial post-translational modification regulating a plethora of both intra- and intercellular communication processes in normal and malignant cells. Small-molecule targeting of kinases has proven successful in the therapy, but the high rates of relapse and failure to stem malignant spread suggest that these kinase inhibitors largely spare CSC. Studying the kinetics of global phosphorylation patterns in an unbiased manner is, therefore, required to improve strategies and successful treatments within multi-modal therapeutic regimens by targeting the malignant behavior of CSC. The phosphoproteome comprises all phosphoproteins within a cell population that can be analyzed by phosphoproteomics, allowing the investigation of thousands of phosphorylation events. One major aspect is the perception of events underlying the activation and deactivation of kinases and phosphatases in oncogenic signaling pathways. Thus, not only can this tool be harnessed to better understand cellular processes such as those controlling CSC, but also applied to identify novel drug targets for targeted anti-CSC therapy. Conclusion State-of-the-art phosphoproteomics approaches focusing on single cell analysis have the potential to better understand oncogenic signaling in heterogeneous cell populations including rare, yet highly malignant CSC. By eliminating the influence of heterogeneity of populations, single-cell studies will reveal novel insights also into the inter- and intratumoral communication processes controlling malignant CSC and disease progression, laying the basis for improved rational combination treatments.

Abstract
Monocytes are a part of the innate immune system. Their differentiation into macrophages changes their cellular proteome and secretome. Particularly secretome components such as cytokines are crucial for immune response and inflammation in many diseases. Differentiation of human lymphoma cell line U937 can be triggered by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Screening of the cytokine release in U937 upon PMA stimulation by cytometric bead array almost exclusively showed interleukin-8 (IL-8). Next, a label-free nanoLC-ESI-MS/MS-sSRM method for quantification of IL-8 in the cell secretome was established and applied to monitor the time kinetics of PMA treatment in different concentrations. Targeted secretome analysis was achieved by scheduled SRM-MS using one proteotypic peptide as precursor ion and four mass transitions. Label-free quantification was performed by external calibration using IL-8 standard. Validation results indicated that the method was suited for the quantification of IL-8 in the secretome. The maximal IL-8 release of 62.4 ng/mL was observed after incubating cells treated by 50 ng/mL PMA for 48 h. The method can now be used for quantification of IL-8 release from different cells under various conditions. Furthermore, it can be easily expanded to other secreted proteins detected by untargeted screening methods.

Abstract
Governmental agencies (www.epa.gov/mercury) and the scientific community have reported on the high toxicity due to mercury. Indeed, exposure to mercury can cause severe injury to the central nervous system and kidney in humans. Beyond its recognized toxicity, little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms involved in the actions of this heavy metal. Mercury has been also observed to form insoluble fibrous protein aggregates in the cell nucleus. We used D. discoideum to evaluate micronuclei formation and, since mercury is able to induce oxidative stress that could bring to protein aggregation, we assessed nuclear protein carbonylation by Western Blot. We observed a significant increase in micronuclei formation and 14 carbonylated proteins were identified. Moreover, we used isotope-coded protein label (ICPL) and mass spectrometry analysis of proteins obtained by lysis of purified nuclei, before of tryptic digestion to quantify nuclear proteins affected by mercury. In particular, we examined the effects of mercury that associate a classical genotoxic assay to proteomic effects into the nucleus. The data present direct evidences for mercury genotoxicity, nuclear protein carbonylation, quantitative change in core histones, and the involvement of pseudouridine synthase in mercury toxicity. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Approximately 25 % of the world population is affected by a mental disorder at some point in their life. Yet, only in the mid-twentieth century a biological cause has been proposed for these diseases. Since then, several studies have been conducted toward a better comprehension of those disorders, and although a strong genetic influence was revealed, the role of these genes in disease mechanism is still unclear. This led most recent studies to focus on the molecular basis of mental disorders. One line of investigation that has risen in the post-genomic era is proteomics, due to its power of revealing proteins and biochemical pathways associated with biological systems. Therefore, this review compiled and analyzed data of differentially expressed proteins, which were found in postmortem brain studies of the three most prevalent psychiatric diseases: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorders. Overviewing both the proteomic methods used in postmortem brain studies, the most consistent metabolic pathways found altered in these diseases. We have unraveled those disorders share about 21 % of proteins affected, and though most are related to energy metabolism pathways deregulation, the main differences found are 14-3-3-mediated signaling in schizophrenia, mitochondrial dysfunction in bipolar disorder and oxidative phosphorylation in depression.
