Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a devastating autoimmune disease for which advanced mass spectrometry (MS) methods are increasingly used to identify new biomarkers and better understand underlying mechanisms. For example, integration of MS analysis and machine learning has identified multimolecular biomarker panels. In mechanistic studies, MS has contributed to the discovery of neoepitopes, and pathways involved in disease development and identifying therapeutic targets. However, challenges remain in understanding the role of tissue microenvironments, spatial heterogeneity, and environmental factors in disease pathogenesis. Recent advancements in MS, such as ultra-fast ion-mobility separations, and single-cell and spatial omics, can play a central role in addressing these challenges. Here, we review recent advancements in MS-based molecular measurements and their role in understanding T1D.

Naylor CN, Nagy G. Recent advances in high-resolution traveling wave-based ion mobility separations coupled to mass spectrometry. MASS SPECTROMETRY REVIEWS 2024. [PMID: 39087820 DOI: 10.1002/mas.21902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Recently, ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) has become more readily incorporated into various omics-based workflows. These growing applications are due to developments in instrumentation within the last decade that have enabled higher-resolution ion mobility separations. Two such platforms are the cyclic (cIMS) and structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM), both of which use traveling wave ion mobility spectrometry (TWIMS). High-resolution separations achieved with these techniques stem from the drastically increased pathlengths, on the order of 10 s of meters to >1 km, in both cIMS-MS and SLIM IMS-MS, respectively. Herein, we highlight recent developments and advances, for the period 2019-2023, in high-resolution traveling wave-based IMS-MS through instrumentation, calibration strategies, hyphenated techniques, and applications. Specifically, we will discuss applications including CCS calculations in multipass IMS-MS separations, coupling of IMS-MS with chromatography, imaging, and cryogenic infrared spectroscopy, and isomeric separations of glycans, lipids, and other small metabolites.

Abstract
Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM) is a powerful variant of traveling wave ion mobility spectrometry (TW-IMS) that uses a serpentine pattern of microelectrodes deposited onto printed circuit boards to achieve ultralong ion path lengths (13.5 m). Ions are propelled through SLIM platforms via arrays of TW electrodes while RF and DC electrodes provide radial confinement, establishing near lossless transmission. The recent ability to cycle ions multiple times through a SLIM has allowed ion path lengths to exceed 1000 m, providing unprecedented separation power and the ability to observe ion structural conformations unobtainable with other IMS technologies. The combination of high separation power, high signal intensity, and the ability to couple with mass spectrometry places SLIM in the unique position of being able to address longstanding proteomics and metabolomics challenges by allowing the characterization of isomeric mixtures containing low abundance analytes.

Abstract
Detailed characterization of protein reagents and biopharmaceuticals is key in defining successful drug discovery campaigns, aimed at bringing molecules through different discovery stages up to development and commercialization. There are many challenges in this process, with complex and detailed analyses playing paramount roles in modern industry. Mass spectrometry (MS) has become an essential tool for characterization of proteins ever since the onset of soft ionization techniques and has taken the lead in quality assessment of biopharmaceutical molecules, and protein reagents, used in the drug discovery pipeline. MS use spans from identification of correct sequences, to intact molecule analyses, protein complexes and more recently epitope and paratope identification. MS toolkits could be incredibly diverse and with ever evolving instrumentation, increasingly novel MS-based techniques are becoming indispensable tools in the biopharmaceutical industry. Here we discuss application of Ion Mobility MS (IMMS) in an industrial setting, and what the current applications and outlook are for making IMMS more mainstream.

Abstract
Recent advances in sample preparation and analysis have enabled direct profiling of protein expression in single mammalian cells and other trace samples. Several techniques to prepare and analyze low-input samples employ custom fluidics for nanoliter sample processing and manual sample injection onto a specialized separation column. While being effective, these highly specialized systems require significant expertise to fabricate and operate, which has greatly limited implementation in most proteomic laboratories. Here, we report a fully automated platform termed autoPOTS (automated preparation in one pot for trace samples) that uses only commercially available instrumentation for sample processing and analysis. An unmodified, low-cost commercial robotic pipetting platform was utilized for one-pot sample preparation. We used low-volume 384-well plates and periodically added water or buffer to the microwells to compensate for limited evaporation during sample incubation. Prepared samples were analyzed directly from the well plate with a commercial autosampler that was modified with a 10-port valve for compatibility with 30 μm i.d. nanoLC columns. We used autoPOTS to analyze 1-500 HeLa cells and observed only a moderate reduction in peptide coverage for 150 cells and a 24% reduction in coverage for single cells compared to our previously developed nanoPOTS platform. To evaluate clinical feasibility, we identified an average of 1095 protein groups from ∼130 sorted B or T lymphocytes. We anticipate that the straightforward implementation of autoPOTS will make it an attractive option for low-input and single-cell proteomics in many laboratories.

Abstract
Leukemic stem cells are highly dynamic and heterogeneous. Analysis of leukemic stem cells at the single-cell level should provide a wealth of insights that would not be possible using bulk measurements. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic workflows can quantify hundreds or thousands of proteins from a biological sample and has proven invaluable for biomedical research, but samples comprising large numbers of cells are typically required due to limited sensitivity. Recent developments in sample processing, chromatographic separations, and MS instrumentation are now extending in-depth proteome profiling to single mammalian cells. Here, we describe specific techniques that increase the sensitivity of single-cell proteomics by orders of magnitude, enabling the promise of single-cell proteomics to become a reality. We anticipate such techniques can significantly advance the understanding of leukemic stem cells.

Abstract
MS-based proteome profiling has become increasingly comprehensive and quantitative, yet a persistent shortcoming has been the relatively large samples required to achieve an in-depth measurement. Such bulk samples, typically comprising thousands of cells or more, provide a population average and obscure important cellular heterogeneity. Single-cell proteomics capabilities have the potential to transform biomedical research and enable understanding of biological systems with a new level of granularity. Recent advances in sample processing, separations and MS instrumentation now make it possible to quantify >1000 proteins from individual mammalian cells, a level of coverage that required an input of thousands of cells just a few years ago. This review discusses important factors and parameters that should be optimized across the workflow for single-cell and other low-input measurements. It also highlights recent developments that have advanced the field and opportunities for further development.

Abstract
Single-cell proteomics can provide critical biological insight into the cellular heterogeneity that is masked by bulk-scale analysis. We have developed a nanoPOTS (nanodroplet processing in one pot for trace samples) platform and demonstrated its broad applicability for single-cell proteomics. However, because of nanoliter-scale sample volumes, the nanoPOTS platform is not compatible with automated LC-MS systems, which significantly limits sample throughput and robustness. To address this challenge, we have developed a nanoPOTS autosampler allowing fully automated sample injection from nanowells to LC-MS systems. We also developed a sample drying, extraction, and loading workflow to enable reproducible and reliable sample injection. The sequential analysis of 20 samples containing 10 ng tryptic peptides demonstrated high reproducibility with correlation coefficients of >0.995 between any two samples. The nanoPOTS autosampler can provide analysis throughput of 9.6, 16, and 24 single cells per day using 120, 60, and 30 min LC gradients, respectively. As a demonstration for single-cell proteomics, the autosampler was first applied to profiling protein expression in single MCF10A cells using a label-free approach. At a throughput of 24 single cells per day, an average of 256 proteins was identified from each cell and the number was increased to 731 when the Match Between Runs algorithm of MaxQuant was used. Using a multiplexed isobaric labeling approach (TMT-11plex), ∼77 single cells could be analyzed per day. We analyzed 152 cells from three acute myeloid leukemia cell lines, resulting in a total of 2558 identified proteins with 1465 proteins quantifiable (70% valid values) across the 152 cells. These data showed quantitative single-cell proteomics can cluster cells to distinct groups and reveal functionally distinct differences.

Abstract
Discovery of new protein biomarker candidates has become a major research goal in the areas of clinical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and biomedicine. These important species constitute the molecular target when it comes to diagnosis, prognosis, and further monitoring of disease. However, their analysis requires powerful, selective and high-throughput sample preparation and product (analyte) characterisation approaches. In general, manual sample processing is tedious, complex and time-consuming, especially when large numbers of samples have to be processed (e.g., in clinical studies). Automation via microtiter-plate platforms involving robotics has brought improvements in high-throughput performance while comparable or even better precisions and repeatability (intra-day, inter-day) were achieved. At the same time, waste production and exposure of laboratory personnel to hazards were reduced. In comprehensive protein analysis workflows (e.g., liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis), sample preparation is an unavoidable step. This review surveys the recent achievements in automation of bottom-up and top-down protein and/or proteomics approaches. Emphasis is put on high-end multi-well plate robotic platforms developed for clinical analysis and other biomedical applications. The literature from 2013 to date has been covered.

Abstract
A Think-Tank Meeting was convened by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to solicit experts' opinion on the development and application of multiomic single-cell analyses, and especially single-cell proteomics, to improve the development of a new generation of biomarkers for cancer risk, early detection, diagnosis, and prognosis as well as to discuss the discovery of new targets for prevention and therapy. It is anticipated that such markers and targets will be based on cellular, subcellular, molecular, and functional aberrations within the lesion and within individual cells. Single-cell proteomic data will be essential for the establishment of new tools with searchable and scalable features that include spatial and temporal cartographies of premalignant and malignant lesions. Challenges and potential solutions that were discussed included (i) The best way/s to analyze single-cells from fresh and preserved tissue; (ii) Detection and analysis of secreted molecules and from single cells, especially from a tissue slice; (iii) Detection of new, previously undocumented cell type/s in the premalignant and early stage cancer tissue microenvironment; (iv) Multiomic integration of data to support and inform proteomic measurements; (v) Subcellular organelles-identifying abnormal structure, function, distribution, and location within individual premalignant and malignant cells; (vi) How to improve the dynamic range of single-cell proteomic measurements for discovery of differentially expressed proteins and their post-translational modifications (PTM); (vii) The depth of coverage measured concurrently using single-cell techniques; (viii) Quantitation - absolute or semiquantitative? (ix) Single methodology or multiplexed combinations? (x) Application of analytical methods for identification of biologically significant subsets; (xi) Data visualization of N-dimensional data sets; (xii) How to construct intercellular signaling networks in individual cells within premalignant tumor microenvironments (TME); (xiii) Associations between intrinsic cellular processes and extrinsic stimuli; (xiv) How to predict cellular responses to stress-inducing stimuli; (xv) Identification of new markers for prediction of progression from precursor, benign, and localized lesions to invasive cancer, based on spatial and temporal changes within individual cells; (xvi) Identification of new targets for immunoprevention or immunotherapy-identification of neoantigens and surfactome of individual cells within a lesion.

Abstract
Two-dimensional reversed-phase capillary liquid chromatography (2D RPLC) separations have enabled comprehensive proteome profiling of biological systems. However, milligram sample quantities of proteins are typically required due to significant losses during offline fractionation. Such a large sample requirement generally precludes the application samples in the nanogram to low-microgram range. To achieve in-depth proteomic analysis of such small-sized samples, we have developed the nanoFAC (nanoflow Fractionation and Automated Concatenation) 2D RPLC platform, in which the first dimension high-pH fractionation was performed on a 75-μm i.d. capillary column at a 300 nL/min flow rate with automated fraction concatenation, instead of on a typically used 2.1 mm column at a 200 μL/min flow rate with manual concatenation. Each fraction was then fully transferred to the second-dimension low-pH nanoLC separation using an autosampler equipped with a custom-machined syringe. We have found that using a polypropylene 96-well plate as collection device as well as the addition of n-Dodecyl β-d-maltoside (0.01%) in the collection buffer can significantly improve sample recovery. We have demonstrated the nanoFAC 2D RPLC platform can achieve confident identifications of ∼49,000-94,000 unique peptides, corresponding to ∼6,700-8,300 protein groups using only 100-1000 ng of HeLa tryptic digest (equivalent to ∼500-5,000 cells). Furthermore, by integrating with phosphopeptide enrichment, the nanoFAC 2D RPLC platform can identify ∼20,000 phosphopeptides from 100 μg of MCF-7 cell lysate.

Abstract
Introduction: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by autoimmune-induced dysfunction and destruction of the pancreatic beta cells. Unfortunately, this process is poorly understood, and the current best treatment for type 1 diabetes is the administration of exogenous insulin. To better understand these mechanisms and to develop new therapies, there is an urgent need for biomarkers that can reliably predict disease stage. Areas covered: Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics and complementary techniques play an important role in understanding the autoimmune response, inflammation and beta-cell death. MS is also a leading technology for the identification of biomarkers. This, and the technical difficulties and new technologies that provide opportunities to characterize small amounts of sample in great depth and to analyze large sample cohorts will be discussed in this review. Expert opinion: Understanding disease mechanisms and the discovery of disease-associated biomarkers are highly interconnected goals. Ideal biomarkers would be molecules specific to the different stages of the disease process that are released from beta cells to the bloodstream. However, such molecules are likely to be present in trace amounts in the blood due to the small number of pancreatic beta cells in the human body and the heterogeneity of the target organ and disease process.

Abstract
Ion mobility separations coupled to mass spectrometry (IM-MS) have received much attention for their ability to provide complementary structural information to solution-phase-based separations, as well as to aid in the identification of unknown compounds. While IM-MS is an increasingly powerful analytical technique, significant bottlenecks related to the resolution of measurements have kept it from becoming broadly applied for biological analyses. Presently, IM-MS-based measurements also remain limited in terms of their sensitivity as compared to state of the art MS-based approaches alone. Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM)-based IM separations provide a basis for overcoming these bottlenecks, addressing issues associated with resolution and sensitivity in the omics, and potentially opening the door to much broader application.
