Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics is a sophisticated identification tool specializing in portraying protein dynamics at a molecular level. Proteomics provides biologists with a snapshot of context-dependent protein and proteoform expression, structural conformations, dynamic turnover, and protein-protein interactions. Cardiac proteomics can offer a broader and deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underscore cardiovascular disease, and it is foundational to the development of future therapeutic interventions. This review encapsulates the evolution, current technologies, and future perspectives of proteomic-based mass spectrometry as it applies to the study of the heart. Key technological advancements have allowed researchers to study proteomes at a single-cell level and employ robot-assisted automation systems for enhanced sample preparation techniques, and the increase in fidelity of the mass spectrometers has allowed for the unambiguous identification of numerous dynamic posttranslational modifications. Animal models of cardiovascular disease, ranging from early animal experiments to current sophisticated models of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, have provided the tools to study a challenging organ in the laboratory. Further technological development will pave the way for the implementation of proteomics even closer within the clinical setting, allowing not only scientists but also patients to benefit from an understanding of protein interplay as it relates to cardiac disease physiology.

Trazodone rescues dysregulated synaptic and mitochondrial nascent proteomes in prion neurodegeneration. Brain 2024; 147:649-664.

Abstract
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is rapidly gaining momentum as a therapeutic target for protein misfolding neurodegenerative diseases, in which its overactivation results in sustained translational repression leading to synapse loss and neurodegeneration. In mouse models of these disorders, from Alzheimer's to prion disease, modulation of the pathway-including by the licensed drug, trazodone-restores global protein synthesis rates with profound neuroprotective effects. However, the precise nature of the translational impairment, in particular the specific proteins affected in disease, and their response to therapeutic UPR modulation are poorly understood. We used non-canonical amino acid tagging (NCAT) to measure de novo protein synthesis in the brains of prion-diseased mice with and without trazodone treatment, in both whole hippocampus and cell-specifically. During disease the predominant nascent proteome changes occur in synaptic, cytoskeletal and mitochondrial proteins in both hippocampal neurons and astrocytes. Remarkably, trazodone treatment for just 2 weeks largely restored the whole disease nascent proteome in the hippocampus to that of healthy, uninfected mice, predominantly with recovery of proteins involved in synaptic and mitochondrial function. In parallel, trazodone treatment restored the disease-associated decline in synapses and mitochondria and their function to wild-type levels. In conclusion, this study increases our understanding of how translational repression contributes to neurodegeneration through synaptic and mitochondrial toxicity via depletion of key proteins essential for their function. Further, it provides new insights into the neuroprotective mechanisms of trazodone through reversal of this toxicity, relevant for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases via translational modulation.

Abstract
Genetic analyses of Schizophrenia (SCZ) patients have identified thousands of risk factors. In silico protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis has provided strong evidence that disrupted PPI networks underlie SCZ pathogenesis. In this study, we performed in vivo PPI analysis of several SCZ risk factors in the rodent brain. Using endogenous antibody immunoprecipitations coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, we constructed a SCZ network comprising 1612 unique PPI with a 5% FDR. Over 90% of the PPI were novel, reflecting the lack of previous PPI MS studies in brain tissue. Our SCZ PPI network was enriched with known SCZ risk factors, which supports the hypothesis that an accumulation of disturbances in selected PPI networks underlies SCZ. We used Stable Isotope Labeling in Mammals (SILAM) to quantitate phencyclidine (PCP) perturbations in the SCZ network and found that PCP weakened most PPI but also led to some enhanced or new PPI. These findings demonstrate that quantitating PPI in perturbed biological states can reveal alterations to network biology.

Abstract
The analysis of proteins that are newly synthesized upon a cellular perturbation can provide detailed insight into the proteomic response that is elicited by specific cues. This can be investigated by pulse-labeling of cells with clickable and stable-isotope-coded amino acids for the enrichment and mass spectrometric characterization of newly synthesized proteins (NSPs), however convoluted protocols prohibit their routine application. Here we report the optimization of multiple steps in sample preparation, mass spectrometry and data analysis, and we integrate them into a semi-automated workflow for the quantitative analysis of the newly synthesized proteome (QuaNPA). Reduced input requirements and data-independent acquisition (DIA) enable the analysis of triple-SILAC-labeled NSP samples, with enhanced throughput while featuring high quantitative accuracy. We apply QuaNPA to investigate the time-resolved cellular response to interferon-gamma (IFNg), observing rapid induction of targets 2 h after IFNg treatment. QuaNPA provides a powerful approach for large-scale investigation of NSPs to gain insight into complex cellular processes.

Abstract
Newly synthesized proteins are closely related to a series of biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and signaling. The post-translational modifications (PTMs) of newly synthesized proteins help maintain normal cellular functions. Ubiquitination is one of the PTMs and plays a prominent role in regulating cellular functions. Although great progress has been made in studying the ubiquitination of newly synthesized proteins, the in vivo monitoring of the ubiquitination of newly synthesized proteins in living cells still remains challenging. In this study, we propose a new method for measuring the ubiquitination of newly synthesized proteins in living cells by combining a click reaction with fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS). In this study, a puromycin derivative (Puro-TCO) and a fluorescence probe (Bodipy-TR-Tz) were synthesized, and then, the newly synthesized proteins in living cells were labelled with Bodipy-TR via the click reaction between Puro-TCO and Tz. Ubiquitin (Ub) in living cells was labelled with the enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) by fusion using a gene engineering technique. FCCS was used to quantify the newly synthesized proteins with two labels (EGFP and Bodipy-TR) in living cells. After measurements, the cross-correlation (CC) value was used to evaluate the ubiquitination degree of proteins. Herein, we established a method for monitoring the ubiquitination of newly synthesized proteins with EGFP-Ub in living cells and studied the effects of the ubiquitin E1 enzyme inhibitor on newly synthesized proteins. Our preliminary results document that the combination of FCCS with a click reaction is an efficient strategy for studying the ubiquitination of newly synthesized proteins in vivo in living cells. This new method can be applied to basic research in protein ubiquitination and drug screening at the living-cell level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common dementia syndrome in the elderly characterized by synaptic failure and unique brain pathology. De novo protein synthesis is required for the maintenance of memory and synaptic plasticity. Mounting evidence links impaired neuronal protein synthesis capacity and overall protein synthesis deficits to AD pathogenesis. Meanwhile, identities of AD-associated dysregulation of "newly synthesized proteome" remain elusive. OBJECTIVE To investigate de novo proteome alterations in the hippocampus of aged Tg19959 AD model mice. METHODS In this study, we combined the bioorthogonal noncanonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) method with the unbiased large-scale proteomic analysis in acute living brain slices (we name it "BONSPEC") to investigate de novo proteome alterations in the hippocampus of Tg19959 AD model mice. We further applied multiple bioinformatics methods to analyze in-depth the proteomics data. RESULTS In total, 1,742 proteins were detected across the 10 samples with the BONSPEC method. After exclusion of those only detected in less than half of the samples in both groups, 1,362 proteins were kept for further analysis. 37 proteins were differentially expressed (based on statistical analysis) between the WT and Tg19959 groups. Among them, 19 proteins were significantly decreased while 18 proteins were significantly increased in the hippocampi of Tg19959 mice compared to WT mice. The results suggest that proteins involved in synaptic function were enriched in de novo proteome of AD mice. CONCLUSION Our study could provide insights into the future investigation into the molecular signaling mechanisms underlying AD and related dementias (ADRDs).

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder associated with memory loss, but the AD-associated neuropathological changes begin years before memory impairments. Investigation of the early molecular abnormalities in AD might offer innovative opportunities to target memory impairment prior to onset. Decreased protein synthesis plays a fundamental role in AD, yet the consequences of this dysregulation for cellular function remain unknown. We hypothesize that alterations in the de novo proteome drive early metabolic alterations in the hippocampus that persist throughout AD progression. Using a combinatorial amino acid tagging approach to selectively label and enrich newly synthesized proteins, we found that the de novo proteome is disturbed in young APP/PS1 mice prior to symptom onset, affecting the synthesis of multiple components of the synaptic, lysosomal, and mitochondrial pathways. Furthermore, the synthesis of large clusters of ribosomal subunits were affected throughout development. Our data suggest that large-scale changes in protein synthesis could underlie cellular dysfunction in AD.

Abstract
Understanding the cellular processes that lead to Alzheimer's disease (AD) is critical, and one key lies in the genetics of families with histories of AD. Mutations a complex known as COPI were found in families with AD. The COPI complex is involved in protein processing and trafficking. Intriguingly, several recent publications have found components of the COPI complex can affect the metabolism of pathogenic AD proteins. We reduced levels of the COPI subunit α-COP, altering maturation and cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP), resulting in decreased release of Aβ-42 and decreased accumulation of the AICD. Depletion of α-COP reduced uptake of proteopathic Tau seeds and reduces intracellular Tau self-association. Expression of AD-associated mutant α-COP altered APP processing, resulting in increased release of Aβ-42 and increased intracellular Tau aggregation and release of Tau oligomers. These results show that COPI coatomer function modulates processing of both APP and Tau, and expression of AD-associated α-COP confers a toxic gain of function, resulting in potentially pathogenic changes in both APP and Tau.
