Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are recognized as direct seeds of metastasis. However, CTC count may not be the "best" indicator of metastatic risk because their heterogeneity is generally neglected. In this study, we develop a molecular typing system to predict colorectal cancer metastasis potential based on the metabolic fingerprints of single CTCs. After identification of the metabolites potentially related to metastasis using mass spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomics, setup of a home-built single-cell quantitative mass spectrometric platform for target metabolite analysis in individual CTCs and use of a machine learning method composed of non-negative matrix factorization and logistic regression, CTCs are divided into two subgroups, C1 and C2, based on a 4-metabolite fingerprint. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that CTC count in C2 subgroup is closely associated with metastasis incidence. This is an interesting report on the presence of a specific population of CTCs with distinct metastatic potential at the single-cell metabolite level.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is now the main analytical method for the identification and quantification of peptides and proteins in biological samples. In modern research, identification of biomarkers and their quantitative comparison between samples are becoming increasingly important for discovery, validation, and monitoring. Such data can be obtained following specific signals after fragmentation of peptides using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) methods, with high specificity, accuracy, and reproducibility. In addition, these methods allow measurement of the amount of post-translationally modified forms and isoforms of proteins. This review article describes the basic principles of MRM assays, guidelines for sample preparation, recent advanced MRM-based strategies, applications and illustrative perspectives of MRM/PRM methods in clinical research and molecular biology.

Abstract
Isotope-labeled internal standards are routinely used for mass spectrometry (MS)-based absolute quantitation. However, syntheses of isotope-labeled peptides are time-consuming and costly. To tackle this issue, we recently developed a coulometric mass spectrometric (CMS) approach for absolute quantitation without the use of standards, based on the electrochemical oxidation of cysteine or tyrosine-containing peptides followed by mass spectrometric measurement of the oxidation yield. To further expand the utility of this method, herein we present the CMS method for absolute quantitation of peptides based on tryptophan electrochemical oxidation. Several tryptophan-containing peptides, such as WGG, WQPPRARI, WAGGDASGE, RTRPLWVRME, and KVPRNQDWL, were successfully quantified with a quantification error ranging from -4.5 to +4.3%. Furthermore, this quantitation approach is also applicable to protein, in which protein can be digested and a surrogate peptide can be selected for quantification to reflect the amount of the parent protein, as exemplified by CMS analysis of peptide GITWK from cytochrome c. The CMS result agreed well with the traditional isotope dilution method, with only a small difference of 3.5%. In addition, CMS was used to successfully quantify amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide fragments (up to 28 amino acid residues) based on tyrosine oxidation. The validity of the CMS method for peptide and protein absolute quantitation without using isotope-labeled peptide standards would greatly facilitate proteomics research.

Abstract
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been regarded as the fifth most common cancer worldwide with a low prognosis. miR-455 usually played the role of a tumor suppressor in multiple cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of miR-455 in HCC. Materials and Methods Cell viability and invasion were measured by CCK8 and Transwell assays. Luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify that miR-455 directly binds to the 3′-noncoding region (UTR) of RAB18 mRNA in Huh7 cells. Results The expression of miR-455 was lower in HCC tissues and cell lines than in nontumor tissues and normal cell line, and downregulation of miR-455 was connected with worse outcome of HCC patients. miR-455 suppressed cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo, and it inhibited the abilities of cell invasion and EMT in HCC. RAB18 was upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines, and the expression of RAB18 was regulated by miR-455. RAB18 reversed partial roles of miR-455 on cell viability and invasion in HCC. Conclusion miR-455 inhibited cell viability and invasion by directly targeting the 3′-UTR of RAB18 mRNA of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
GTP-binding proteins are among the most important enzyme families that are involved in a plethora of biological processes. However, owing to the enormous diversity of the nucleotide-binding protein family, comprehensive analyses of the expression level, structure, activity, and regulatory mechanisms of GTP-binding proteins remain challenging with the use of conventional approaches. The many advances in mass spectrometry (MS) instrumentation and data acquisition methods, together with a variety of enrichment approaches in sample preparation, render MS a powerful tool for the comprehensive characterizations of the activities and expression levels of various GTP-binding proteins. We review herein the recent developments in the application of MS-based techniques, together with general and widely used affinity enrichment approaches, for the proteome-wide and targeted capture, identification, and quantification of GTP-binding proteins. The working principles, advantages, and limitations of various strategies for profiling the expression level, activity, posttranslational modifications, and interactome of GTP-binding proteins are discussed. It can be envisaged that future applications of MS-based proteomics will lead to a better understanding about the roles of GTP-binding proteins in different biological processes and human diseases. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. SAR1 gene homolog B (SAR1B) is a GTPase that has been reported to have a central role in the regulation of lipid homeostasis and is associated with numerous diseases. However, its role in cancer, particularly in CRC, remains unclear. The present study revealed that SAR1B was overexpressed in CRC samples and this was associated with shorter overall survival time in patients with CRC. Colony formation, cell proliferation and flow cytometry assays were conducted to evaluate the functions of SAR1B in CRC. It was reported that SAR1B may be associated with tumorigenesis of CRC. Knockdown of SAR1B suppressed cell proliferation and induced significant apoptosis of RKO cells. Furthermore, microarray analysis was performed to identify the potential targets of SAR1B in CRC. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that SAR1B was significantly involved in regulating ‘TGF-β signaling’, ‘paxillin signaling’, ‘cell cycle regulation by BTG family proteins’ and ‘IGF-1 signaling’. These results suggested that SAR1B may be considered a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for CRC.

Abstract
N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) in messenger RNA (mRNA) regulates its stability, splicing, and translation efficiency. Here, we explored how the expression levels of small GTPase proteins are regulated by m6A modulators. We employed a high-throughput scheduled multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM)-based targeted proteomic approach to quantify systemically the changes in expression of small GTPase proteins in cells upon genetic ablation of METTL3 (the catalytic subunit of the major m6A methyltransferase complex), m6A demethylases (ALKBH5 and FTO), or m6A reader proteins (YTHDF1, YTHDF2, and YTHDF3). Depletions of METTL3 and ALKBH5 resulted in substantially diminished and augmented expression, respectively, of a subset of small GTPase proteins, including RHOB and RHOC. Our results also revealed that the stability of RHOB mRNA is significantly increased in cells depleted of METTL3, suggesting an m6A-elicited destabilization of this mRNA. Those small GTPases that are targeted by METTL3 and/or ALKBH5 also displayed higher discrepancies between protein and mRNA expression in paired primary/metastatic melanoma or colorectal cancer cells than those that are not. Together, this is the first comprehensive analysis of the alterations in small GTPase proteome regulated by epitranscriptomic modulators of m6A, and our study suggests the potential of an alternative therapeutic approach to target the currently "undruggable" small GTPases.

Abstract
Metastasis is the leading cause for mortality in melanoma patients. Here, an unbiased mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomic method is utilized to assess differential protein expression in a matched pair of primary/metastatic melanoma cell lines (i.e., WM-115/WM-266-4) derived from the same patient. It is found that TBC1D7 is overexpressed in metastatic over primary melanoma cells, and elevated expression of TBC1D7 promotes the invasion of these melanoma cells in vitro, partly through modulating the activities of secreted matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9. Additionally, interrogation of publicly available data show that higher mRNA expression of TBC1D7 predicts poorer survival in melanoma patients. Together, the results suggest TBC1D7 as a driver for melanoma cell invasion, which is an important element in melanoma metastasis. The proteomic data generated from this study may also be useful for exploring the roles of other proteins in melanoma metastasis.

Abstract
The Adenosine diphosphate-Ribosylation Factor (ARF) family belongs to the RAS superfamily of small GTPases and is involved in a wide variety of physiological processes, such as cell proliferation, motility and differentiation by regulating membrane traffic and associating with the cytoskeleton. Like other members of the RAS superfamily, ARF family proteins are activated by Guanine nucleotide Exchange Factors (GEFs) and inactivated by GTPase-Activating Proteins (GAPs). When active, they bind effectors, which mediate downstream functions. Several studies have reported that cancer cells are able to subvert membrane traffic regulators to enhance migration and invasion. Indeed, members of the ARF family, including ARF-Like (ARL) proteins have been implicated in tumorigenesis and progression of several types of cancer. Here, we review the role of ARF family members, their GEFs/GAPs and effectors in tumorigenesis and cancer progression, highlighting the ones that can have a pro-oncogenic behavior or function as tumor suppressors. Moreover, we propose possible mechanisms and approaches to target these proteins, toward the development of novel therapeutic strategies to impair tumor progression.

Abstract
Small GTPases are essential signaling molecules for regulating glucose uptake in adipose tissues upon insulin stimulation, and this regulation maintains an appropriate range of glycemia. The involvement of small GTPases in adipogenesis, however, has not been systemically investigated. In this study, we applied a high-throughput scheduled multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) method, along with the use of synthetic stable isotope-labeled peptides, to identify differentially expressed small GTPase proteins during adipogenesis of cultured murine cells. We were able to quantify the relative levels of expression of 55 and 49 small GTPases accompanied by adipogenic differentiation in 3T3-L1 and C3H10T1/2 cells, respectively. When compared with analysis conducted in the data-dependent acquisition (DDA) mode, the MRM-based proteomic platform substantially increased the coverage of the small GTPase proteome. Western blot analysis further corroborated the MRM quantification results for selected small GTPases. Interestingly, overall a significant number of small GTPases were down-regulated during adipogenesis. Among them, the expression levels of Rab32 protein were consistently lower in differentiated adipocytes than the corresponding undifferentiated precursors in both cell lines. Overexpression of Rab32 in 3T3-L1 and C3H10T1/2 cells prior to adipogenesis induction suppressed their differentiation. Together, this is the first comprehensive analysis of the alterations in small GTPase proteome during adipogenesis, and we reveal a previously unrecognized role of Rab32 in adipogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), are prevalent among the elderly. Small GTPases of the Ras superfamily are essential regulators of intracellular trafficking and signal transduction. In this study, we develop a targeted quantification method for small GTPase proteins, where the method involves scheduled multiple-reaction monitoring analysis and the use of synthetic stable isotope-labeled peptides as internal standards or surrogate standards. We further applied this method to examine the altered expression of small GTPase proteins in post-mortem frontal cortex tissues from AD patients with different degrees of disease severity. We were able to achieve sensitive and reproducible quantifications of 80 small GTPases in brain tissue samples from 15 patients. Our results revealed substantial up-regulations of several synaptic GTPases, i.e., RAB3A/C, RAB4A/B, and RAB27B, in tissues from patients with higher degrees of AD pathology, suggesting that aberrant synaptic trafficking may modulate the progression of AD. The method should be generally applicable for high-throughput targeted quantification of small GTPase proteins in other tissue and cellular samples.

Abstract
Genetic defects in SAR1B GTPase inhibit chylomicron (CM) trafficking to the Golgi and result in a huge intraenterocyte lipid accumulation with a failure to release CMs and liposoluble vitamins into the blood circulation. The central aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that SAR1B deletion (SAR1B−/−) disturbs enterocyte lipid homeostasis (e.g., FA β-oxidation and lipogenesis) while promoting oxidative stress and inflammation. Another issue is to compare the impact of SAR1B−/− to that of its paralogue SAR1A−/− and combined SAR1A−/−/B−/−. To address these critical issues, we have generated Caco-2/15 cells with a knockout of SAR1A, SAR1B, or SAR1A/B genes. SAR1B−/− results in lipid homeostasis disruption, reflected by enhanced mitochondrial FA β-oxidation and diminished lipogenesis in intestinal absorptive cells via the implication of PPARα and PGC1α transcription factors. Additionally, SAR1B−/−cells, which mimicked enterocytes of CM retention disease, spontaneously disclosed inflammatory and oxidative characteristics via the implication of NF-κB and NRF2. In most conditions, SAR1A−/− cells showed a similar trend, albeit less dramatic, but synergetic effects were observed with the combined defects of the two SAR1 paralogues. In conclusion, SAR1B and its paralogue are needed not only for CM trafficking but also for lipid homeostasis, prooxidant/antioxidant balance, and protection against inflammatory processes.
