Recently, the rapid development and application of mass spectrometry (MS)-based technologies have markedly improved the comprehensive proteomic characterization of global proteome and protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). However, the current conventional approach for global proteomic analysis is often carried out separately from PTM analysis. In our study, we developed an integrated workflow for multiplex analysis of global, glyco-, and phospho-proteomics using breast cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumor samples. Our approach included the following steps: trypsin-digested tumor samples were enriched for phosphopeptides through immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC), followed by enrichment of glycopeptides through mixed anion exchange (MAX) method, and then the flow-through peptides were analyzed for global proteomics. Our workflow demonstrated an increased identification of peptides and associated proteins in global proteome, as compared to those using the peptides without PTM depletion. In addition to global proteome, the workflow identified phosphopeptides and glycopeptides from the PTM enrichment. We also found a subset of glycans with unique distribution profiles in the IMAC flow-through, as compared to those enriched directly using the MAX method. Our integrated workflow provided an effective platform for simultaneous global proteomic and PTM analysis of biospecimens.
最近,基于质谱(MS)技术的快速发展和应用显著提高了全球蛋白质组和蛋白质翻译后修饰(PTM)的综合蛋白质组学特征。然而,目前常规的全局蛋白质组分析方法通常与 PTM 分析分开进行。在我们的研究中,我们开发了一种使用乳腺癌患者来源异种移植(PDX)肿瘤样本进行全局、糖基和磷酸化蛋白质组学多重分析的集成工作流程。我们的方法包括以下步骤:使用胰蛋白酶消化肿瘤样本,通过固相亲和色谱(IMAC)富集磷酸肽,然后通过混合阴离子交换(MAX)方法富集糖肽,然后分析全局蛋白质组学的流穿肽。与未进行 PTM 耗竭的肽相比,我们的工作流程显示在全局蛋白质组中增加了肽和相关蛋白的鉴定。除了全局蛋白质组外,该工作流程还从 PTM 富集中鉴定了磷酸肽和糖肽。我们还发现了与直接使用 MAX 方法富集的糖肽相比,在 IMAC 流穿物中具有独特分布特征的聚糖亚群。我们的集成工作流程为生物样本的同时全局蛋白质组学和 PTM 分析提供了一个有效的平台。
