Impact of the near-physiological temperature on the in vitro maturation of bovine oocytes: A comparative proteomic approach. Theriogenology 2024; 228:64-74. [PMID: 39098122 DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2024.07.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
In vivo, the temperature inside preovulatory follicles of cows is approximately 1 °C lower than rectal temperature. However, standard bovine oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) protocols use 38.5 °C based on rectal temperature. This study evaluated the effect of reducing IVM temperature to 37.5 °C on the proteomic profile of oocytes compared to the routine 38.5 °C. Nuclear maturation rate and cumulus cell (CC) expansion (30 COCs per group, 21 replicates) were assessed by observing the first polar body and using a subjective scoring method (0-4). Total nitrite concentrations in the culture medium were measured using the Griess method. Differential proteomics was performed using LC-MS/MS on pooled oocyte samples (500 matured oocytes per group, three replicates), followed by gene ontology enrichment, protein-protein interaction, and putative miRNA target analyses. No significant differences were observed between the groups in nuclear maturation, CC expansion, or nitrite concentration (P > 0.05). A total of 806 proteins were identified, with 7 up-regulated and 12 down-regulated in the treatment group compared to the control. Additionally, 12 proteins were unique to the control group, and 8 were unique to the treatment group. IVM at 37.5 °C resulted in the upregulation of proteins involved in protein folding and GTP binding, and the downregulation of enzymes with oxidoreductase activity and proteins involved in cytoskeletal fiber formation. Furthermore, 43 bovine miRNAs potentially regulating these genes (DES, HMOX2, KRT75, FARSA, IDH2, CARHSP1) were identified. We conclude that IVM of bovine oocytes at 37.5 °C induces significant proteomic changes without impacting nuclear maturation, cumulus cell expansion, or nitrite concentration in the IVM medium.

Abstract
Top-down proteomics is emerging as a preferred approach to investigate biological systems, with objectives ranging from the detailed assessment of a single protein therapeutic, to the complete characterization of every possible protein including their modifications, which define the human proteoform. Given the controlling influence of protein modifications on their biological function, understanding how gene products manifest or respond to disease is most precisely achieved by characterization at the intact protein level. Top-down mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of proteins entails unique challenges associated with processing whole proteins while maintaining their integrity throughout the processes of extraction, enrichment, purification, and fractionation. Recent advances in each of these critical front-end preparation processes, including minimalistic workflows, have greatly expanded the capacity of MS for top-down proteome analysis. Acknowledging the many contributions in MS technology and sample processing, the present review aims to highlight the diverse strategies that have forged a pathway for top-down proteomics. We comprehensively discuss the evolution of front-end workflows that today facilitate optimal characterization of proteoform-driven biology, including a brief description of the clinical applications that have motivated these impactful contributions.

Abstract
The dynamic changes in protein expression are well known to be required for oocyte meiotic maturation. Although proteomic analysis has been performed in porcine oocytes during in vitro maturation, there is still no full data because of the technical limitations at that time. Here, a novel tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative approach was used to compare the proteomic profiles of porcine immature and in vitro mature oocytes. The results of our study showed that there were 763 proteins considered with significant difference−450 over-expressed and 313 under-expressed proteins. The GO and KEGG analyses revealed multiple regulatory mechanisms of oocyte nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation such as spindle and chromosome configurations, cytoskeletal reconstruction, epigenetic modifications, energy metabolism, signal transduction and others. In addition, 12 proteins identified with high-confidence peptide and related to oocyte maturation were quantified by a parallel reaction monitoring technique to validate the reliability of TMT results. In conclusion, we provided a detailed proteomics dataset to enrich the understanding of molecular characteristics underlying porcine oocyte maturation in vitro.

Initial steps on mapping differentially expressed proteins in bovine preantral follicles and ovarian tissue: An approach using single-follicle MALDI-MS and mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) analysis. Reprod Domest Anim 2021; 57:19-32. [PMID: 34626135 DOI: 10.1111/rda.14025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
The molecular mechanisms regulating follicular development and ensuring primordial follicle activation remain undefined. To help elucidate these mechanisms, this proteomic study of bovine ovarian tissue identified the differential molecular profiles of preantral follicles together with the spatial distribution of the most abundant molecular components in the tissue. Isolated primordial, primary and secondary follicles were individually placed on a MALDI target plate for mass spectral acquisitions, with detection of different m/z ranges. Ovarian tissue was sectioned and analysed in the m/z 400-2,000 range. Results of the first analysis indicated a similarity pattern in the molecular protein profile among different follicular classes in the m/z ranges of 100-1000 and 25,000-200,000, but in the m/z ranges of 800-4000, 4000-20,000 and 15,000-70,000, primary and secondary follicles shared similar clustering profiles which were different from primordial follicles (p < .05). In the second analysis, it was possible to correlate some intense molecular components in the tissue from global mass spectrum with the ions detected in the first analysis. Molecular components at m/z 11,325 (±230) were also detected in primary and secondary follicles in the experiment with isolated follicles, in addition to ions at m/z 4,029 (±120), 13,799 (±70), 5,547 (±9), 15,313 (±200), 7,018 (±40) and 7,663 (±90) which were also intensely detected in primary and secondary follicles. The present proteomic approaches evaluated different mass ranges of preantral follicles in bovine ovarian tissue and also indicated the spatial distribution of the most abundant molecular components. This study hopes to pave the way for future research identifying and characterizing specific proteins involved in follicle activation in bovine follicles, in order to better understand folliculogenesis and potentially improve mammalian follicle culture systems.

Abstract
In order to identify oviduct fluid (OF) peptides and proteins possibly uptaken by developing embryos, in-vitro produced bovine embryos exposed or not to OF were individually analyzed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Overall, 11 masses were overabundant in OF-treated embryos compared to controls, among which one at 8.9 kDa annotated as immediate early response 3-interacting protein 1 or a peptide of transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase met the criteria of an OF embryo-interacting protein or peptide.

Abstract
Mammalian oocyte maturation and embryo development are unique biological processes regulated by various modifications. Since de novo mRNA transcription is absent during oocyte meiosis, protein-level regulation, especially post-translational modification (PTM), is crucial. It is known that PTM plays key roles in diverse cellular events such as DNA damage response, chromosome condensation, and cytoskeletal organization during oocyte maturation and embryo development. However, most previous reviews on PTM in oocytes and embryos have only focused on studies of Xenopus laevis or Caenorhabditis elegans eggs. In this review, we will discuss the latest discoveries regarding PTM in mammalian oocytes maturation and embryo development, focusing on phosphorylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation and Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation). Phosphorylation functions in chromosome condensation and spindle alignment by regulating histone H3, mitogen-activated protein kinases, and some other pathways during mammalian oocyte maturation. Ubiquitination is a three-step enzymatic cascade that facilitates the degradation of proteins, and numerous E3 ubiquitin ligases are involved in modifying substrates and thus regulating oocyte maturation, oocyte-sperm binding, and early embryo development. Through the reversible addition and removal of SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) on lysine residues, SUMOylation affects the cell cycle and DNA damage response in oocytes. As an emerging PTM, PARlation has been shown to not only participate in DNA damage repair, but also mediate asymmetric division of oocyte meiosis. Each of these PTMs and external environments is versatile and contributes to distinct phases during oocyte maturation and embryo development.

Abstract
Implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) are recommended to prevent the risk of sudden cardiac death. However, shocks are associated with an increased mortality with a dose response effect, and a strategy of reducing electrical therapy burden improves the prognosis of implanted patients. We review the mechanisms of defibrillation and its consequences, including cell damage, metabolic remodeling, calcium metabolism anomalies, and inflammatory and pro-fibrotic remodeling. Electrical shocks do save lives, but also promote myocardial stunning, heart failure, and pro-arrhythmic effects as seen in electrical storms. Limiting unnecessary implantations and therapies and proposing new methods of defibrillation in the future are recommended.

Abstract
The molecular basis of male fertility remains unclear, especially in chickens, where decades of genetic selection increased male fertility variability as a side effect. As transcription and translation are highly limited in sperm, proteins are key molecules defining their functionality, making proteomic approaches one of the most adequate methods to investigate sperm capacity. In this context, it is interesting to combine complementary proteomic approaches to maximize the identification of proteins related to sperm-fertilizing ability. In the present study, we aimed at identifying proteins related to fertility in meat-type roosters, showing fertility variability. Fertile roosters (fertility rates higher than 70% after artificial insemination) differed from subfertile roosters (fertility rates lower than 40%) in their sperm mass motility. Fertile and subfertile sperm protein contents were compared using two complementary label-free quantitative proteomic methods: Intact Cell MALDI-TOF-Mass Spectrometry and GeLC-MS/MS. Combining the two strategies, 57 proteins were identified as differentially abundant. Most of them were described for the first time as differentially abundant according to fertility in this species. These proteins were involved in various molecular pathways including flagellum integrity and movement, mitochondrial functions, sperm maturation, and storage in female tract as well as oocyte-sperm interaction. Collectively, our data improved our understanding of chicken sperm biology by revealing new actors involved in the complexity of male fertility that depends on multiple cell functions to reach optimal rates. This explains the inability of reductionist in vitro fertility testing in predicting male fertility and suggests that the use of a combination of markers is a promising approach.

Abstract
Multiple applications of proteomics in life and health science, pathology and pharmacology, require handling size-limited cell and tissue samples. During proteomic sample preparation, analyte loss in these samples arises when standard procedures are used. Thus, specific considerations have to be taken into account for processing, that are summarised under the term microproteomics (μPs). Microproteomic workflows include: sampling (e.g., flow cytometry, laser capture microdissection), sample preparation (possible disruption of cells or tissue pieces via lysis, protein extraction, digestion in bottom-up approaches, and sample clean-up) and analysis (chromatographic or electrophoretic separation, mass spectrometric measurements and statistical/bioinformatic evaluation). All these steps must be optimised to reach wide protein dynamic ranges and high numbers of identifications. Under optimal conditions, sampling is adapted to the studied sample types and nature, sample preparation isolates and enriches the whole protein content, clean-up removes salts and other interferences such as detergents or chaotropes, and analysis identifies as many analytes as the instrumental throughput and sensitivity allow. In the suggested review, we present and discuss the current state in μP applications for processing of small number of cells (cell μPs) and microscopic tissue regions (tissue μPs).

Abstract
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of thymosin beta 4 (Tβ4) during in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes and subsequent embryonic development after in vitro fertilization as well as to assess the quality of obtained blastocysts. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were matured in vitro in 4 different media: 1. control medium; 2. control media supplemented with 50 ng/mL Tβ4; 3. control media supplemented with 0.5 mg/mL Tβ4; and 4. control media supplemented with 1 mg/mL Tβ4. The quality of the developed blastocysts was analysed by the TUNEL method. The number of cleaved eggs was significantly higher (P<0.05) when gametes were matured in the presence of 50 ng/mL Tβ4 than it was using the other types of media. Additionally, the largest number of blastocysts was observed when 0.5 mg Tβ4 was added to the medium (P<0.05). No significant difference was noted in the mean number of apoptotic nuclei per blastocyst or in the mean number of nuclei per blastocyst in any of the analysed groups. In conclusion, Tβ4 supplementation (50 ng/mL) in maturation medium increased the number of cleaved oocytes, and the number of blastocysts obtained increased when 0.5 mg/mL Tβ4 was used. This positive effect was not observed when a higher concentration of Tβ4 (1 mg/mL) was used.

Acute pathophysiological myocardial changes following intra-cardiac electrical shocks using a proteomic approach in a sheep model. Sci Rep 2020; 10:20252.

Abstract
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) are meant to fight life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and reduce overall mortality. Ironically, life-saving shocks themselves have been shown to be independently associated with an increased mortality. We sought to identify myocardial changes at the protein level immediately after ICD electrical shocks using a proteomic approach. ICD were surgically implanted in 10 individuals of a healthy male sheep model: a control group (N = 5) without any shock delivery and a shock group (N = 5) with the delivery of 5 consecutive shocks at 41 J. Myocardial tissue samples were collected at the right-ventricle apex near to the lead coil and at the right ventricle basal free wall region. Global quantitative proteomics experiments on myocardial tissue samples were performed using mass spectrometry techniques. Proteome was significantly modified after electrical shock and several mechanisms were associated: protein, DNA and membrane damages due to extreme physical conditions induced by ICD-shock but also due to regulated cell death; metabolic remodeling; oxidative stress; calcium dysregulation; inflammation and fibrosis. These proteome modifications were seen in myocardium both "near" and "far" from electrical shock region. N-term acetylated troponin C was an interesting tissular biomarker, significantly decreased after electrical shock in the "far" region (AUC: 0.93). Our data support an acute shock-induced myocardial tissue injury which might be involved in acute paradoxical deleterious effects such as heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias.

The bovine cumulus proteome is influenced by maturation condition and maturational competence of the oocyte. Sci Rep 2020; 10:9880.

Abstract
In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes has still a negative impact on the developmental competence of oocytes. Therefore, this study analysed the cumulus proteome of individual cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) with and without maturational competence, matured under in vivo or in vitro conditions (n = 5 per group). A novel, ultrasensitive mass spectrometry (MS) based protein profiling approach, using label-free quantification, was applied. The detected cumulus proteome included 2226 quantifiable proteins and was highly influenced by the maturation condition (479 differentially expressed proteins) as well as maturational competence of the corresponding oocyte (424 differentially expressed proteins). Enrichment analysis showed an overrepresentation of the complement and coagulation cascades (CCC), ECM-receptor interaction and steroid biosynthesis in cumulus of COCs that matured successfully under in vivo conditions. Verification of the origin of CCC proteins was achieved through detection of C3 secretion into the maturation medium, with significantly increasing concentrations from 12 (48.4 ng/ml) to 24 hours (68 ng/ml: p < 0.001). In relation, concentrations in follicular fluid, reflecting the in vivo situation, were >100x higher. In summary, this study identified important pathways that are impaired in IVM cumulus, as well as potential markers of the maturational competence of oocytes.

TMT-based quantitative proteomic analysis of cumulus cells derived from vitrified porcine immature oocytes following in vitro maturation. Theriogenology 2020; 152:8-17. [PMID: 32361306 DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2020.04.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2020] [Revised: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
As the immature oocytes are submitted to cryopreservation, their surrounding cumulus cells (CCs) will inevitably suffer, which may have some adverse effects on subsequent oocyte maturation and development. So far, little is known about the molecular differences in CCs of immature oocytes after vitrification. The aim of this study therefore was to analyze the protein profile of CCs derived from vitrified porcine immature oocytes following in vitro maturation, using TMT-based quantitative proteomic approach. A total of 5910 proteins were identified, and 88 of them presented significant difference, with 46 up-regulated and 42 down-regulated proteins. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis revealed that cell cycle phase transition, mitotic cell cycle phase transition, positive regulation of cell differentiation and regulation of oogenesis were significantly down-regulated within the biological process. After Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis, some up-regulated proteins were significantly enriched in TGF-beta signaling pathway and 4 pathways related to steroid hormones. Furthermore, 10 selected proteins were quantified and verified by a parallel reaction monitoring technique, indicating a high reliability of the TMT results. In conclusion, vitrification affects protein profile of CCs as well as their biological functions, which will offer a new perspective to understand the reasons for decline in maturation quality of vitrified immature oocytes.

Abstract
The objective of this review is to provide new insights into the possible use of a proteomic method known as Intact Cell Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-ionization Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (ICM-MS) in animal clinical research. Here, we give an overview of the basics of this technique, its advantages and disadvantages compared with other proteomic approaches, past applications and future perspectives. A special emphasis on its implementation in animal reproduction science is given, including examples of the reliable use of ICM-MS on fertility screening. In mammals, the ICM-MS profiles from pig epididymal spermatozoa reflect the proteome changes that they undergo during epididymal maturation and could be associated with the acquisition of fertilizing ability. In chicken, using adequate pre-processing and bioinformatics analysis tools, sperm ICM-MS profiles showed characteristic spectral features that allowed their classification according to their actual fertilizing ability. The association of ICM-MS and Top-down proteomic strategies allowed the identification of chicken fertility biomarkers candidates such as protein vitelline membrane outer layer protein 1 (VMO-1) and avian beta-defensin 10 (AvBD10). In female reproduction, a similar approach on ovarian follicular cells allowed the identification of specific markers of oocyte maturation in the oocyte and surrounding cumulus cells. Altogether, these results indicate that ICM-MS profiling could be a suitable approach for molecular phenotyping of male and female gametes.

Abstract
Background Maturation of oocytes under in vitro conditions (IVM) results in impaired developmental competence compared to oocytes matured in vivo. As oocytes are closely coupled to their cumulus complex, elucidating aberrations in cumulus metabolism in vitro is important to bridge the gap towards more physiological maturation conditions. The aim of this study was to analyze the equine “cumulome” in a novel combination of proteomic (nano-HPLC MS/MS) and metabolomic (UPLC-nanoESI-MS) profiling of single cumulus complexes of metaphase II oocytes matured either in vivo (n = 8) or in vitro (n = 7). Results A total of 1811 quantifiable proteins and 906 metabolic compounds were identified. The proteome contained 216 differentially expressed proteins (p ≤ 0.05; FC ≥ 2; 95 decreased and 121 increased in vitro), and the metabolome contained 108 metabolites with significantly different abundance (p ≤ 0.05; FC ≥ 2; 24 decreased and 84 increased in vitro). The in vitro “cumulome” was summarized in the following 10 metabolic groups (containing 78 proteins and 21 metabolites): (1) oxygen supply, (2) glucose metabolism, (3) fatty acid metabolism, (4) oxidative phosphorylation, (5) amino acid metabolism, (6) purine and pyrimidine metabolism, (7) steroid metabolism, (8) extracellular matrix, (9) complement cascade and (10) coagulation cascade. The KEGG pathway “complement and coagulation cascades” (ID4610; n = 21) was significantly overrepresented after in vitro maturation. The findings indicate that the in vitro condition especially affects central metabolism and extracellular matrix composition. Important candidates for the metabolic group oxygen supply were underrepresented after maturation in vitro. Additionally, a shift towards glycolysis was detected in glucose metabolism. Therefore, under in vitro conditions, cumulus cells seem to preferentially consume excess available glucose to meet their energy requirements. Proteins involved in biosynthetic processes for fatty acids, cholesterol, amino acids, and purines exhibited higher abundances after maturation in vitro. Conclusion This study revealed the marked impact of maturation conditions on the “cumulome” of individual cumulus oocyte complexes. Under the studied in vitro milieu, cumulus cells seem to compensate for a lack of important substrates by shifting to aerobic glycolysis. These findings will help to adapt culture media towards more physiological conditions for oocyte maturation.

Abstract
Cells are a basic functional and structural unit of living organisms. Both unicellular communities and multicellular species produce an astonishing chemical diversity, enabling a wide range of divergent functions, yet each cell shares numerous aspects that are common to all living organisms. While there are many approaches for studying this chemical diversity, only a few are non-targeted and capable of analyzing hundreds of different chemicals at cellular resolution. Here, we review the non-targeted approaches used to perform comprehensive chemical analyses, provide chemical imaging information, or obtain high-throughput single-cell profiling data. Single-cell measurement capabilities are rapidly increasing in terms of throughput, limits of detection, and completeness of the chemical analyses; these improvements enable their application to understand ever more complex physiological phenomena, such as learning, memory, and behavior.

Abstract
Cells are the most basic structural units that play vital roles in the functioning of living organisms. Analysis of the chemical composition and content of a single cell plays a vital role in ensuring precise investigations of cellular metabolism, and is a crucial aspect of lipidomic and proteomic studies. In addition, structural knowledge provides a better understanding of cell behavior as well as the cellular and subcellular mechanisms. However, single-cell analysis can be very challenging due to the very small size of each cell as well as the large variety and extremely low concentrations of substances found in individual cells. On account of its high sensitivity and selectivity, mass spectrometry holds great promise as an effective technique for single-cell analysis. Numerous mass spectrometric techniques have been developed to elucidate the molecular profiles at the cellular level, including electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), laser-based mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In this review, the recent advances in single-cell analysis by mass spectrometry are summarized. The strategies of different ionization modes to achieve single-cell analysis are classified and discussed in detail.

Abstract
Ovarian follicle provides a favorable environment for enclosed oocytes, which acquire their competence in supporting embryo development in tight communications with somatic follicular cells and follicular fluid (FF). Although steroidogenesis in theca (TH) and granulosa cells (GC) is largely studied, and the molecular mechanisms of fatty acid (FA) metabolism in cumulus cells (CC) and oocytes are emerging, little data is available regarding lipid metabolism regulation within ovarian follicles. In this study, we investigated lipid composition and the transcriptional regulation of FA metabolism in 3–8 mm ovarian follicles in bovine. Using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (MS), 438 and 439 lipids were identified in FF and follicular cells, respectively. From the MALDI-TOF MS lipid fingerprints of FF, TH, GC, CC, and oocytes, and the MS imaging of ovarian sections, we identified 197 peaks and determined more abundant lipids in each compartment. Transcriptomics revealed lipid metabolism-related genes, which were expressed constitutively or more specifically in TH, GC, CC, or oocytes. Coupled with differential lipid composition, these data suggest that the ovarian follicle contains the metabolic machinery that is potentially capable of metabolizing FA from nutrient uptake, degrading and producing lipoproteins, performing de novo lipogenesis, and accumulating lipid reserves, thus assuring oocyte energy supply, membrane synthesis, and lipid-mediated signaling to maintain follicular homeostasis.

Abstract
The ability of an oocyte to undergo successful cytoplasmic and nuclear maturation, fertilization and embryo development is referred to as the oocyte’s quality or developmental competence. Quality is dependent on the accumulation of organelles, metabolites and maternal RNAs during the growth and maturation of the oocyte. Various models of good and poor oocyte quality have been used to understand the essential contributors to developmental success. This review covers the current knowledge of how oocyte organelle quantity, distribution and morphology differ between good and poor quality oocytes. The models of oocyte quality are also described and their usefulness for studying the intrinsic quality of an oocyte discussed. Understanding the key critical features of cytoplasmic organelles and metabolites driving oocyte quality will lead to methods for identifying high quality oocytes and improving oocyte competence, both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The endogenous peptides and small proteins extracted from bovine ovarian follicular cells (oocytes, cumulus and granulosa cells) were identified by Top-down High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (TD-HR-MS/MS) in order to annotate peptido- and proteoforms detected using qualitative and quantitative profiling method based on ICM-MS (Intact Cell Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry). The description and analysis of these Top-down MS data in the context of oocyte quality biomarkers research are available in the original research article of Labas et al. (2017) http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jprot.2017.03.027[1]. Raw data derived from this peptidomic/proteomic analysis have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the PRIDE partner repository (dataset identifier PXD004892). Here, we described the inventory of all identified peptido- and proteoforms including their biochemical and structural features, and functional annotation of correspondent proteins. This peptide/protein inventory revealed that TD-HR-MS/MS was appropriate method for both global and targeted proteomic analysis of ovarian tissues, and it can be further employed as a reference for other studies on follicular cells including single oocytes.
