Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by a chronic, progressive inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract often leading to complications, such as strictures and fistulae. Currently, there are no validated tools anticipating short- and long-term outcomes at an early stage. This investigation aims to elucidate variations in protein abundance across distinct CD phenotypes with the objective of uncovering potential biomarkers implicated in disease advancement. Serum samples collected from 30 CD patients and 15 healthy age-matched controls (HC) were subjected to depletion of highly abundant proteins and to a label-free mass spectrometry analysis. Twenty-four proteins were shown to be significantly different when comparing CD with HC. Of these, WD repeat-containing protein 31 (WDR31), and proteins involved in the acute inflammatory response, leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein (LRG1) and serum amyloid A1 (SAA1), were more abundant in the aggressive subgroup. Against standard biomarkers, a positive correlation between SAA1 and WDR31 and C-reactive protein (CRP) was found. In this study, a unique serum biomarker panel for aggressive CD was identified, which could aid in predicting the disease course.

Abstract
The recent increase in peptidomimetic-based medications and the growing interest in peptide hormones has brought new attention to the quantification of peptides for diagnostic purposes. Indeed, the circulating concentrations of peptide hormones in the blood provide a snapshot of the state of the body and could eventually lead to detecting a particular health condition. Although extremely useful, the quantification of such molecules, preferably by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, might be quite tricky. First, peptides are subjected to hydrolysis, oxidation, and other post-translational modifications, and, most importantly, they are substrates of specific and nonspecific proteases in biological matrixes. All these events might continue after sampling, changing the peptide hormone concentrations. Second, because they include positively and negatively charged groups and hydrophilic and hydrophobic residues, they interact with their environment; these interactions might lead to a local change in the measured concentrations. A phenomenon such as nonspecific adsorption to lab glassware or materials has often a tremendous effect on the concentration and needs to be controlled with particular care. Finally, the circulating levels of peptides might be low (pico- or femtomolar range), increasing the impact of the aforementioned effects and inducing the need for highly sensitive instruments and well-optimized methods. Thus, despite the extreme diversity of these peptides and their matrixes, there is a common challenge for all the assays: the need to keep concentrations unchanged from sampling to analysis. While significant efforts are often placed on optimizing the analysis, few studies consider in depth the impact of pre-analytical steps on the results. By working through practical examples, this solution-oriented tutorial review addresses typical pre-analytical challenges encountered during the development of a peptide assay from the standpoint of a clinical laboratory. We provide tips and tricks to avoid pitfalls as well as strategies to guide all new developments. Our ultimate goal is to increase pre-analytical awareness to ensure that newly developed peptide assays produce robust and accurate results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Quantitative protein mass-spectrometry (QPMS) in blood depends on tryptic digestion of proteins and subsequent measurement of representing peptides. Whether serum and plasma can be used interchangeably and whether in-vitro anticoagulants affect the recovery is unknown. In our laboratory serum samples are the preferred matrix for QPMS measurement of multiple apolipoproteins. In this study, we investigated the effect of different matrices on apolipoprotein quantification by mass spectrometry. METHODS Blood samples were collected from 44 healthy donors in Beckton Dickinson blood tubes simultaneously for serum (with/without gel) and plasma (heparin, citrate or EDTA). Nine apolipoproteins were quantified according to standard operating procedure using value-assigned native serum calibrators for quantitation. Tryptic digestion kinetics were investigated in the different matrices by following formation of peptides for each apolipoprotein in time, up to 22 h. RESULTS In citrate plasma recovery of apolipoproteins showed an overall reduction with a bias of -14.6%. For heparin plasma only -0.3% bias was found compared to serum, whereas for EDTA-plasma reduction was more pronounced (-5.3% bias) and variable with >14% reduction for peptides of apoA-I, A-II and C-III. Digestion kinetics revealed that especially slow forming peptides showed reduced formation in EDTA-plasma. CONCLUSIONS Plasma anticoagulants affect QPMS test results. Heparin plasma showed comparable results to serum. Reduced concentrations in citrate plasma can be explained by dilution, whereas reduced recovery in EDTA-plasma is dependent on altered proteolytic digestion efficiency. The results highlight the importance of a standardized pre-analytical phase for accurate QPMS applications in clinical chemistry.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Plasma viscosity is one of the critical factors that regulate microcirculatory flow but has received scant research attention. The main objective of this study was to evaluate plasma viscosity in cardiac surgery with respect to perioperative trajectory, main determinants and impact on outcome. METHODS Prospective, single center, observational study, including 50 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass between 1 February 2020 - 31 May 2021. Clinical perioperative characteristics, short term outcome, standard blood analysis, plasma viscosity, total proteins and fibrinogen concentrations were recorded at ten distinct time points during the first perioperative week. RESULTS The longitudinal analysis showed that plasma viscosity is strongly influenced by proteins and measurement time points. Plasma viscosity showed a coefficient of variation of 11.3 +/- 1.08 for EDTA and 12.1 +/-2.1 for citrate, similarly to total proteins and hemoglobin, but significantly lower than fibrinogen (p<0.001). Plasma viscosity had lower percentage changes compared to hemoglobin (RANOVA, p<0.001), fibrinogen (RANOVA, p<0.001), and total proteins (RANOVA, p<0.001). The main determinant of plasma viscosity was protein concentrations. No association with outcome was found, but the study may have been underpowered to detect it. CONCLUSION Plasma viscosity had a low coefficient of variation and low perioperative changes, suggesting tight regulation. Studies linking plasma viscosity with outcome would require large patient cohorts.

Abstract
This protocol offers step-by-step instructions for preparation of raw blood plasma for liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis in clinical proteomics studies. The technique is simple, robust, and reproducible, and the entire transformation from plasma proteins to desalted tryptic peptides takes only 3-4 h. The protocol ensures efficient denaturation of native proteases that, in combination with the speediness of the procedure, prevents non-specific and irreproducible cleavage of digested peptides. The protocol can be adopted for large-scale studies and automation. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Overmyer et al. (2020).

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by significant biologic and clinical heterogeneity. This study was designed to explore CLL B-cells' proteomic profile in order to identify biologic processes affected at an early stage and during disease evolution as stable or progressive. Purified B cells from 11 untreated CLL patients were tested at two time points by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Patients included in the study evolved to either progressive (n = 6) or stable disease (n = 5). First, at an early stage of the disease (Binet stage A), based on the relative abundance levels of 389 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), samples were separated into stable and progressive clusters with the main differentiating factor being the RNA splicing pathway. Next, in order to test how the DEPs affect RNA splicing, a RNA-Seq study was conducted showing 4217 differentially spliced genes between the two clusters. Distinct longitudinal evolutions were observed with predominantly proteomic modifications in the stable CLL group and spliced genes in the progressive CLL group. Splicing events were shown to be six times more frequent in the progressive CLL group. The main aberrant biologic processes controlled by DEPs and spliced genes in the progressive group were cytoskeletal organization, Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and mitochondrial and inositol phosphate metabolism with a downstream impact on CLL B-cell survival and migration. This study suggests that proteomic profiles at the early stage of CLL can discriminate progressive from stable disease and that RNA splicing dysregulation underlies CLL evolution, which opens new perspectives in terms of biomarkers and therapy.

Abstract
A microfluidic chip for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is presented as bio-sensor for label-free detection of proteins by using the example of cardiac troponin I. Troponin I is one of the most specific diagnostic serum biomarkers for myocardial infarction. The microfluidic impedance biosensor chip presented here consists of a microscope glass slide serving as base plate, sputtered electrodes, and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannel. Electrode functionalization protocols were developed considering a possible charge transfer through the sensing layer, in addition to analyte-specific binding by corresponding antibodies and reduction of nonspecific protein adsorption to prevent false-positive signals. Reagents tested for self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold electrodes included thiolated hydrocarbons and thiolated oligonucleotides, where SAMs based on the latter showed a better performance. The corresponding antibody was covalently coupled on the SAM using carbodiimide chemistry. Sampling and measurement took only a few minutes. Application of a human serum albumin (HSA) sample, 1000 ng/mL, led to negligible impedance changes, while application of a troponin I sample, 1 ng/mL, led to a significant shift in the Nyquist plot. The results are promising regarding specific detection of clinically relevant concentrations of biomarkers, such as cardiac markers, with the newly developed microfluidic impedance biosensor chip.

Abstract
Continuing efforts are directed towards finding alternative breast cancer chemotherapeutics, with improved safety and efficacy profiles. Soy isoflavones represent promising agents but, despite extensive research, limited information exists regarding their impact on the breast cancer cell proteome. The purpose of this study was to compare the proteomic profiles of MCF-7 (estrogen responsive) and MDA-MB-231 (estrogen non-responsive) breast cancer cells exposed to different concentrations of genistein, daidzein, and a soy seed extract, using a high throughput LC-UDMSE protein profiling approach. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay confirmed the dual activity of soy isoflavones on MCF-7 cells and the inhibitory effect on MDA-MB-231 cells. Proteome profiling of paramagnetic beads prepared peptides by nano-LC UDMSE and pathway enrichment analysis revealed that isoflavones affected distinct molecular pathways in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, such as tyrosine kinases signaling pathway, cytoskeleton organization, lipid and phospholipid catabolism, extracellular matrix degradation and mRNA splicing. Also, in MCF-7 cells, low and high isoflavone doses induced different changes of the proteome, including cell cycle alterations. Therefore, the expression of estrogen receptors and the isoflavone dose are determinant factors for the molecular impact of isoflavones and must be taken into account when considering adjuvant breast cancer therapy towards personalized medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mass spectrometry is one of the rapidly developing bio-analytical techniques in recent years, and it shows that the results of biomarkers' screening can be influenced by pre-analytical process. The selection of the blood collection tubes is one of the most significant steps of pre-analytical process which is often neglected by researchers. So, it is urgent to define the influence of blood collection tubes clearly in biomarkers' screening. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Two types of blood collection tubes, non-additive tubes and coagulant activator tubes, are used to collect serum samples from patients and healthy controls. All samples are analyzed using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrum in this study. RESULTS The serum protein profile changes while using coagulant tubes whether for patients or healthy controls. It is found that the effect of coagulant on serum protein of patients is smaller than that of control group. There are 27 significantly different peaks between the control group and the control coagulant group. However, between patient group and patient coagulant group, only one differential peak is obtained. Coagulant changes the expression differences between patients and healthy controls, making the differences expand, shrink or reverse, and most of the polypeptides are small molecule, which will change the results of biomarker's screening. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE This research suggested that different types of blood collection tubes would influence the final laboratory results. So it's important for clinicians to choose the proper tubes to detect biomarkers and make correct diagnoses.

Abstract
Variable processing and storage of whole blood and/or plasma are potential confounders in biomarker development and clinical assays. The goal of the study was to investigate how pre-analytical variables impact the human plasma proteome. Whole blood obtained from 16 apparently healthy individuals was collected in six EDTA tubes and processed randomly under six pre-analytical variable conditions including blood storage at 0 °C or RT for 6 h (B6h0C or B6hRT) before processing to plasma, plasma storage at 4 °C or RT for 24 h (P24h4C or P24hRT), low centrifugal force at 1300 × g, (Low×g), and immediate processing to plasma under 2500 × g (control) followed by plasma storage at -80 °C. An aptamer-based proteomic assay was performed to identify significantly changed proteins (fold change ≥1.2, P < 0.05, and false discovery rate < 0.05) relative to the control from a total of 1305 proteins assayed. Pre-analytical conditions Low×g and B6h0C resulted in the most plasma proteome changes with 200 and 148 proteins significantly changed, respectively. Only 36 proteins were changed under B6hRT. Conditions P24h4C and P24hRT yielded changes of 28 and 75 proteins, respectively. The complement system was activated in vitro under the conditions B6hRT, P24h4C, and P24hRT. The results suggest that particular pre-analytical variables should be controlled for clinical measurement of specific biomarkers.

Impact of Blood Collection Tubes and Sample Handling Time on Serum and Plasma Metabolome and Lipidome. Metabolites 2018; 8:metabo8040088. [PMID: 30518126 PMCID: PMC6316012 DOI: 10.3390/metabo8040088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2018] [Revised: 11/26/2018] [Accepted: 11/29/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Metabolomics is emerging as a valuable tool in clinical science. However, one major challenge in clinical metabolomics is the limited use of standardized guidelines for sample collection and handling. In this study, we conducted a pilot analysis of serum and plasma to determine the effects of processing time and collection tube on the metabolome. Methods: Blood was collected in 3 tubes: Vacutainer serum separator tube (SST, serum), EDTA (plasma) and P100 (plasma) and stored at 4 degrees for 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 24 h prior to centrifugation. Compounds were extracted using liquid-liquid extraction to obtain a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic fraction and analyzed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Differences among the blood collection tubes and sample processing time were evaluated (ANOVA, Bonferroni FWER ≤ 0.05 and ANOVA, Benjamini Hochberg FDR ≤ 0.1, respectively). Results: Among the serum and plasma tubes 93.5% of compounds overlapped, 382 compounds were unique to serum and one compound was unique to plasma. There were 46, 50 and 86 compounds affected by processing time in SST, EDTA and P100 tubes, respectively, including many lipids. In contrast, 496 hydrophilic and 242 hydrophobic compounds differed by collection tube. Forty-five different chemical classes including alcohols, sugars, amino acids and prenol lipids were affected by the choice of blood collection tube. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the choice of blood collection tube has a significant effect on detected metabolites and their overall abundances. Perhaps surprisingly, variation in sample processing time has less of an effect compared to collection tube; however, a larger sample size is needed to confirm this.

Abstract
Background: Serum and plasma are widely used matrices in biological and clinical studies. To improve reliability and consistency of markers quantification, the influence of these matrices on proteins was evaluated by targeted mass spectrometry. Results: 65 proteins were quantified in matched blood samples collected in serum, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and heparin plasma tubes from 40 healthy and 10 pathological individuals. Only 52% of the proteins were not impacted by any of the biological matrices tested, and the effects on quantification of proteins affected was matrix and protein dependent. Conclusion: Matrix comparisons using mass spectrometry is therefore recommended to assess the relevance of using surrogate matrix, performing biomarker discovery study or evaluating the clinical use of biomarkers in large clinical cohorts.

Abstract
Background and aims Proteome-based biomarker studies are targeting proteins that could serve as diagnostic, prognosis, and prediction molecules. In the clinical routine, immunoassays are currently used for the absolute quantification of such biomarkers, with the major limitation that only one molecule can be targeted per assay. The aim of our study was to test a mass spectrometry based absolute quantification method for the verification of plasma protein sets which might serve as reliable biomarker panels for the clinical practice. Methods Six EDTA plasma samples were analyzed after tryptic digestion using a high throughput data independent acquisition nano-LC Q-TOF UDMSE proteomics approach. Synthetic Escherichia coli standard peptides were spiked in each sample for the absolute quantification. Data analysis was performed using ProgenesisQI v2.0 software (Waters Corporation). Results Our method ensured absolute quantification of 242 non redundant plasma proteins in a single run analysis. The dynamic range covered was 105. 86% were represented by classical plasma proteins. The overall median coefficient of variation was 0.36, while a set of 63 proteins was found to be highly stable. Absolute protein concentrations strongly correlated with values reviewed in the literature. Conclusions Nano-LC Q-TOF UDMSE proteomic analysis can be used for a simple and rapid determination of absolute amounts of plasma proteins. A large number of plasma proteins could be analyzed, while a wide dynamic range was covered with low coefficient of variation at protein level. The method proved to be a reliable tool for the quantification of protein panel for biomarker verification in the clinical practice.
