Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined by a reduced renal function, that is, glomerular filtration rate, and the extent of kidney damage is assessed by determining serum creatinine levels and proteins in urine, diagnosed as proteinuria/albuminuria. Albuminuria increases with age and can result from glomerular and/or proximal tubule (PT) alterations. Brush border membranes (BBMs) on PT cells are important in maintaining the stability of PT functions. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN An LC-MS/MS bottom-up proteomics analysis of BBMs from four groups of rat models was applied to investigate protein abundance alterations associated with CKD progression. Moreover, systems biology analyses were used to identify key proteins that can provide insight into the different regulated molecular pathways and processes associated with CKD. RESULTS Our results indicated that 303 proteins showed significantly altered expressions from the severe CKD BBM group when compared to the control. Focusing on renal diseases, several proteins including Ctnnb1, Fah, and Icam1 were annotated to kidney damage and urination disorder. The up-regulation of Ctnnb1 (β-catenin) could contribute to CKD through the regulation of the WNT signaling pathway. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Overall, the study of protein abundance changes in BBMs from rat models helps to reveal protein corrections with important pathways and regulator effects involved in CKD. Although this study is focused on rat models, the results provided more information for a deeper insight into possible CKD mechanisms in humans.

LC-MS/MS-Based Proteomics Approach for the Identification of Candidate Serum Biomarkers in Patients with Narcolepsy Type 1. Biomolecules 2023; 13:420. [PMID: 36979356 PMCID: PMC10046664 DOI: 10.3390/biom13030420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is the most common type of narcolepsy known to be caused by the loss of specific neurons responsible for producing peptide neurotransmitters (orexins/hypocretins), resulting in a sleep-wake cycle disorder. It is characterized by its association with cataplexy and abnormalities in rapid eye movement. To date, no cure has been established for this life-threatening condition. Misdiagnosis of NT1 is also quite common, although it is not exceedingly rare. Therefore, successfully identifying candidate serum biomarkers for NT1 would be a head start for accurate diagnosis and development of therapeutics for this disorder. This study aims to identify such potential serum biomarkers. A depletion protocol was employed for 27 human serum samples (16 NT1 and 11 healthy controls), followed by applying LC-MS/MS bottom-up proteomics analysis, then LC-PRM-MS for validation. The comparison of the proteome profiles of the low-abundant proteins in the samples was then investigated based on age, sex, sample groups, and the presence of the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) DQB1*0602 allele. The results were tracked to gene expression studies as well as system biology to identify key proteins and understand their relationship in the pathogenesis of NT1. Our results revealed 36 proteins significantly and differentially expressed. Among the impaired pathways and bioprocesses, the complement activation pathway is impaired by six of the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). They are coded by the genes C2, CFB, C5, C1R, C1S, and MASP1, while 11 DEPs are involved in Acute Phase Response Signaling (APRS), which are coded by the genes FN1, AMBP, APOH, CFB, CP, ITIH2, C5, C2, F2, C1, and ITIH4. The combined AUCs of the downregulated and upregulated DEPs are 0.95 and 0.76, respectively. Overall, this study reveals potential serum-protein biomarkers of NT1 and explains the possible correlation between the biomarkers and pathophysiological effects, as well as important biochemical pathways involved in NT1.

Abstract
The existence of cellular heterogeneity and its central relevance to biological phenomena provides a strong rationale for a need for analytical methods that enable analysis at the single-cell level. Analysis of the genome and transcriptome is possible at the single-cell level, but the comprehensive interrogation of the proteome with this level of resolution remains challenging. Single-cell protein analysis tools are advancing rapidly, however, and providing insights into collections of proteins with great relevance to cell and disease biology. Here, we review single-cell protein analysis technologies and assess their advantages and limitations. The emerging technologies presented have the potential to reveal new insights into tumour heterogeneity and therapeutic resistance, elucidate mechanisms of immune response and immunotherapy, and accelerate drug discovery.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based top-down proteomics characterizes complex proteomes at the intact proteoform level and provides an accurate picture of protein isoforms and protein post-translational modifications in the cell. The progress of top-down proteomics requires novel analytical tools with high peak capacity for proteoform separation and high sensitivity for proteoform detection. The requirements have made capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-MS an attractive approach for advancing large-scale top-down proteomics. CZE has achieved a peak capacity of 300 for separation of complex proteoform mixtures. CZE-MS has shown drastically better sensitivity than commonly used reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-MS for proteoform detection. The advanced CZE-MS identified 6,000 proteoforms of nearly 1,000 proteoform families from a complex proteome sample, which represents one of the largest top-down proteomic datasets so far. In this review, we focus on the recent progress in CZE-MS-based top-down proteomics and provide our perspectives about its future directions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Macropinocytosis can occur in various types of cells and displays multiple functions. However, real-time observation and characterization of the structures of macropinocytosis on the surface of the cell membrane is not yet possible. MATERIALS AND METHODS Here, we establish a real-time live cell surface imaging method using three-dimensional-structured illumination microscopy. Based on this, observation of the dynamic macropinocytosis process and morphological data of internalized structures on the surface of pancreatic cancer cells were achieved during macropinocytosis. Next, different-sized silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) were used as the scale for identifying the size range of internalized substances of macropinocytosis in pancreatic cancer cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Our study not only provides a practical method and more structural data for further investigation of macropinocytosis, but also makes deeper understanding of the cell response toward nanomaterials as well as nanodrugs possible.

Abstract
d-Amino acids (d-AAs) are endogenous molecules found throughout the metazoan, the functions of which remain poorly understood. Measurements of low abundance and heterogeneously distributed d-AAs in complex biological samples, such as cells and multicellular structures of the central nervous system (CNS), require the implementation of sensitive and selective analytical approaches. In order to measure the d- and l-forms of aspartate and glutamate, we developed and applied a stacking chiral capillary electrophoresis (CE) with laser-induced fluorescence detection method. The achieved online analyte preconcentration led to a 480-fold enhancement of detection sensitivity relative to capillary zone electrophoresis, without impacting separation resolution or analysis time. Additionally, the effects of inorganic ions on sample preconcentration and CE separation were evaluated. The approach enabled the relative quantification of d-aspartate and d-glutamate in individual neurons mechanically isolated from the CNS of the sea slug Aplysia californica, a well characterized neurobiological model. Levels of these structurally similar d-AAs were significantly different in subpopulations of cells collected from the investigated neuronal clusters.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis coupled with electrospray ionization typically employs two power supplies, one at each end of the capillary. One power supply is located at the proximal (injection) end of the capillary. The power supply located at the distal (detector) end of the capillary drives the electrospray. Electrophoresis is driven by the difference in potential between these power supplies. Separations that employ large capillary inner diameter, high conductivity background electrolyte, and high separation potentials generate higher current than that produced by the electrospray. Excess current flows through the electrospray power supply. Most power supplies are not designed to sink current, and the excess current will cause the electrospray voltage to deviate from its set point. We report a simple circuit to handle this excess current, allowing separations under a wide range of electrophoretic conditions. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
A unique mass spectrometry (MS) method has been developed to determine the negatively charged species in live single cells using the positive ionization mode. The method utilizes dicationic ion-pairing compounds through the miniaturized multifunctional device, the single-probe, for reactive MS analysis of live single cells under ambient conditions. In this study, two dicationic reagents, 1,5-pentanediyl-bis(1-butylpyrrolidinium) difluoride (C5(bpyr)2F2) and 1,3-propanediyl-bis(tripropylphosphonium) difluoride (C3(triprp)2F2), were added in the solvent and introduced into single cells to extract cellular contents for real-time MS analysis. The negatively charged (1- charged) cell metabolites, which form stable ion-pairs (1+ charged) with dicationic compounds (2+ charged), were detected in positive ionization mode with a greatly improved sensitivity. We have tentatively assigned 192 and 70 negatively charged common metabolites as adducts with (C5(bpyr)2F2) and (C3(triprp)2F2), respectively, in three separate SCMS experiments in the positive ion mode. The total number of tentatively assigned metabolites is 285 for C5(bpyr)2F2 and 143 for C3(triprp)2F2. In addition, the selectivity of dicationic compounds in the complex formation allows for the discrimination of overlapped ion peaks with low abundances. Tandem (MS/MS) analyses at the single cell level were conducted for selected adduct ions for molecular identification. The utilization of the dicationic compounds in the single-probe MS technique provides an effective approach to the detection of a broad range of metabolites at the single cell level.

Abstract
Ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC)-electrospray ionization (ESI)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is typically employed for phosphoproteome analysis. Alternatively, capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-ESI-MS/MS has great potential for phosphoproteome analysis due to the significantly different migration times of phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of peptides. In this work, we systematically compared UPLC-MS/MS and CZE-MS/MS for phosphorylated peptide identifications (IDs) using an enriched phosphoproteome from the MCF-10A cell line. When the sample loading amount of UPLC was 10 times higher than that of CZE (2 μg vs 200 ng), UPLC generated more phosphorylated peptide IDs than CZE (3313 vs 1783). However, when the same sample loading amounts were used for CZE and UPLC (2-200 ng), CZE-MS/MS consistently and significantly outperformed UPLC-MS/MS in terms of phosphorylated peptide and total peptide IDs. This superior performance is most likely due to the higher peptide intensity generated by CZE-MS/MS. More importantly, compared with UPLC data from a 2 μg sample, CZE-MS/MS can identify over 500 unique phosphorylated peptides from a 200 ng sample, suggesting that CZE and UPLC are complementary for phosphorylated peptide IDs. With further improved loading capacity via a dynamic pH junction method, 2313 phosphorylated peptides were identified with single-shot CZE-MS/MS in a 100 min analysis. This number of phosphorylated peptide IDs is over 1 order of magnitude higher than the number of phosphorylated peptide IDs previously reported by single-shot CZE-MS/MS.

Abstract
We have reported a set of electrokinetically pumped sheath flow nanoelectrospray interfaces to couple capillary zone electrophoresis with mass spectrometry. A separation capillary is threaded through a cross into a glass emitter. A side arm provides fluidic contact with a sheath buffer reservoir that is connected to a power supply. The potential applied to the sheath buffer drives electro-osmosis in the emitter to pump the sheath fluid at nanoliter per minute rates. Our first-generation interface placed a flat-tipped capillary in the emitter. Sensitivity was inversely related to orifice size and to the distance from the capillary tip to the emitter orifice. A second-generation interface used a capillary with an etched tip that allowed the capillary exit to approach within a few hundred micrometers of the emitter orifice, resulting in a significant increase in sensitivity. In both the first- and second-generation interfaces, the emitter diameter was typically 8 μm; these narrow orifices were susceptible to plugging and tended to have limited lifetime. We now report a third-generation interface that employs a larger diameter emitter orifice with very short distance between the capillary tip and the emitter orifice. This modified interface is much more robust and produces much longer lifetime than our previous designs with no loss in sensitivity. We evaluated the third-generation interface for a 5000 min (127 runs, 3.5 days) repetitive analysis of bovine serum albumin digest using an uncoated capillary. We observed a 10% relative standard deviation in peak area, an average of 160,000 theoretical plates, and very low carry-over (much less than 1%). We employed a linear-polyacrylamide (LPA)-coated capillary for single-shot, bottom-up proteomic analysis of 300 ng of Xenopus laevis fertilized egg proteome digest and identified 1249 protein groups and 4038 peptides in a 110 min separation using an LTQ-Orbitrap Velos mass spectrometer; peak capacity was ∼330. The proteome data set using this third-generation interface-based CZE-MS/MS is similar in size to that generated using a commercial ultraperformance liquid chromatographic analysis of the same sample with the same mass spectrometer and similar analysis time.

Abstract
Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has recently attracted attention as a tool for shotgun proteomics. However, its performance for this analysis has so far fallen far below that of reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-MS/MS. The use of a CZE method with a wide separation window (up to 90 min) and high peak capacity (ca. 300) is reported. This method was coupled to an Orbitrap Fusion mass spectrometer through an electrokinetically pumped sheath-flow interface for the analysis of complex proteome digests. Single-shot CZE-MS/MS lead to the identification of over 10 000 peptides and 2100 proteins from a HeLa cell proteome digest in approximately 100 min. This performance is nearly an order of magnitude better than earlier CZE studies and is within a factor of two to four of the state-of-the-art nano ultrahigh-pressure LC system.

Abstract
In a time in which the spread of multidrug resistant microorganisms is ever increasing, there is a need for fast and unequivocal identification of suspect organisms to supplement existing techniques in the clinical laboratory, especially in single bacterial colonies. Mass-spectrometry coupled with efficient peptide separation techniques offer great potential for identification of resistant-related proteins in complex microbiological samples in an unbiased manner. Here, we developed a capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry CE-ESI-MS/MS bottom-up proteomics workflow for sensitive and specific peptide analysis with the emphasis on the identification of β-lactamases (carbapenemases OXA-48 and KPC in particular) in bacterial species. For this purpose, tryptic peptides from whole cell lysates were analyzed by sheathless CE-ESI-MS/MS and proteins were identified after searching of the spectral data against bacterial protein databases. The CE-ESI-MS/MS workflow was first evaluated using a recombinant TEM-1 β-lactamase, resulting in 68% of the amino acid sequence being covered by 20 different unique peptides. Subsequently, a resistant and susceptible Escherichia coli lab strain were analyzed and based on the observed β-lactamase peptides, the two strains could easily be discriminated. Finally, the method was tested in an unbiased setup using a collection of in-house characterized OXA-48 (n = 17) and KPC (n = 10) clinical isolates. The developed CE-ESI-MS/MS method was able to identify the presence of OXA-48 and KPC in all of the carbapenemase positive samples, independent of species and degree of susceptibility. Four negative controls were tested and classified as negative by this method. Furthermore, a number of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) were identified in the same analyses, confirming the multiresistant character in 19 out of 27 clinical isolates. Importantly, the method performed equally well on protein lysates from single colonies. As such, it demonstrates CE-ESI-MS/MS as a potential next generation mass spectrometry platform within the clinical microbiology laboratory.

Abstract
We coupled capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with an ultrasensitive electrokinetically pumped nanospray ionization source for tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis of complex proteomes. We first used the system for the parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis of angiotensin II spiked in 0.45mg/mL of bovine serum albumin (BSA) digest. A calibration curve was generated between the loading amount of angiotensin II and intensity of angiotensin II fragment ions. CZE-PRM generated a linear calibration curve across over 4.5 orders of magnitude dynamic range corresponding to angiotensin II loading amount from 2amole to 150fmole. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of migration time were <4% and the RSDs of fragment ion intensity were ∼20% or less except 150fmole angiotensin II loading amount data (∼36% RSD). We further applied the system for the first bottom up proteomic analysis of a human cell line using CZE-MS/MS. We generated 283 protein identifications from a 1h long, single-shot CZE MS/MS analysis of the MCF7 breast cancer cell line digest, corresponding to ∼80ng loading amount. The MCF7 digest was fractionated using a C18 solid phase extraction column; single-shot analysis of a single fraction resulted in 468 protein identifications, which is by far the largest number of protein identifications reported for a mammalian proteomic sample using CZE.

Abstract
A PrinCE autosampler was coupled to a Q-Exactive mass spectrometer by an electrokinetically pumped sheath-flow nanospray interface to perform automated capillary zone electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-ESI-MS/MS). 20ng aliquots of an Escherichia coli digest were injected to evaluate the system. Eight sequential injections over an 8-h period identified 1115±70 (relative standard deviation, RSD=6%) peptides and 270±8 (RSD=3%) proteins per run. The average RSDs of migration time, peak intensity, and peak area were 3%, 24% and 19%, respectively, for 340 peptides with high intensity. This is the first report of an automated CZE-ESI-MS/MS system using the electrokinetically pumped sheath-flow nanospray interface. The results demonstrate that this system is capable of reproducibly identifying over 1000 peptides from an E. coli tryptic digest in a 1-h analysis time.
