Project description:Proteomic profiling describes the molecular landscape of proteins in cells immediately available to sense, transduce, and enact the appropriate responses to extracellular queues. Transcriptional profiling has proven invaluable to our understanding of cellular responses; however, insights may be lost as mounting evidence suggests transcript levels only moderately correlate with protein levels in steady state cells. Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics is a well-suited and widely used analytical tool for studying global protein abundances. Typical proteomic workflows are often limited by the amount of sample input that is required for deep and quantitative proteome profiling. This is especially true if the cells of interest need to be purified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and one wants to avoid ex vivo culturing. To address this need, we developed an easy to implement, streamlined workflow that enables quantitative proteome profiling from roughly 2 μg of protein input per experimental condition. Utilizing a combination of facile cell collection from cell sorting, solid-state isobaric labeling and multiplexing of peptides, and small-scale fractionation, we profiled the proteomes of 12 freshly isolated, primary murine immune cell types. Analyzing half of the 3e5 cells collected per cell type, we quantified over 7000 proteins across 12 key immune cell populations directly from their resident tissues. We show that low input proteomics is precise, and the data generated accurately reflects many aspects of known immunology, while expanding the list of cell-type specific proteins across the cell types profiled. The low input proteomics methods we developed are readily adaptable and broadly applicable to any cell or sample types and should enable proteome profiling in systems previously unattainable.

Project description:The metabolic status of individual cells in microbial cultures can differ being relevant for biotechnology, environmental and medical microbiology. However, it is hardly understood in molecular detail due to limitations of current analytical tools. Here, we demonstrate that FACS in combination with proteomics can be used to sort and analyze cell populations based on their metabolic state. A previously established GFP reporter system was used to detect and sort single Corynebacterium glutamicum cells based on the concentration of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) using FACS. A proteomics workflow optimized for small cell numbers was used to quantitatively compare proteomes of a ?aceE mutant, lacking functional pyruvate dehydrogenase (PD), and the wild type. About 800 proteins could be quantified from 1,000,000 cells. In the ?aceE mutant BCAA production was coordinated with upregulation of the glyoxylate cycle and TCA cycle to counter the lack of acetyl CoA resulting from the deletion of aceE.

Project description:Understanding cellular diversity and disease mechanisms requires global analysis of proteins and their modifications. Ultrasensitive mass spectrometry-based proteomics enables unbiased protein-level analysis of low cell numbers, down to single cells. However, phosphoproteomics remains limited to high-input samples due to sample losses and poor reaction efficiencies associated with processing low cell numbers. In this study, we have used isobaric stable isotope labelling as a promising approach for reproducible and accurate quantification of low abundant phosphopeptides. Here, we introduce SPARCE (Streamlined Phosphoproteomic Analysis of Rare CElls) for multiplexed phosphoproteomic analysis of low cell numbers. SPARCE outperforms traditional methods by enhancing labelling efficiency and phosphoproteome coverage. To demonstrate the utility of SPARCE, we analysed four patient-derived glioblastoma stem cell lines, reliably quantifying phosphosite changes from 1,000 FACS-sorted cells. This workflow expands the possibilities for signalling analysis of rare cell populations.

Project description:For 3D reconstructions of whole immune cells from zebrafish, isolated from adult animals by FAC-sorting we employed array tomography on hundreds of serial sections deposited on silicon wafers. Image stacks were either recorded manually or automatically with the newly released ZEISS Atlas 5 Array Tomography platform on a Zeiss FEGSEM. To characterize different populations of immune cells, organelle inventories were created by segmenting individual cells. In addition, arrays were used for quantification of cell populations with respect to the various cell types they contained. The detection of immunological synapses in cocultures of cell populations from thymus or WKM with cancer cells helped to identify the cytotoxic nature of these cells. Our results demonstrate the practicality and benefit of AT for high-throughput ultrastructural imaging of substantial volumes.

Project description:Stem cells antigen-1 (Sca-1) is an 18-kDa mouse glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface protein that has widely been used for isolation of murine hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, recently several studies have reported the expression of this protein in non-HSCs such as the liver, skin and muscles among others. In the current study, we used fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) technique to sort Sca-1+ stem cells from mouse hindlimb muscles. The Sca-1+ cells were divided into two sets first set of Sca-1+ cells were processed for protein extraction immediately after sorting (ex vivo set) while the second set of samples, referred to as in vitro set, were expanded in cell culture after sorting and harvested after two passage and then processed for protein extraction. A high-resolution proteome map of the ex vivo and in vitro sets was generated Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid Mass Spectrometer. In total, the analysis led to the identification of 5,581 protein groups.

Project description:Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) is an essential tool for studies requiring isolation of distinct intestinal epithelial cell populations. Inconsistent or lack of reporting of the critical parameters associated with FACS methodologies has complicated interpretation, comparison, and reproduction of important findings. To address this problem a comprehensive multicenter study was designed to develop guidelines that limit experimental and data reporting variability and provide a foundation for accurate comparison of data between studies. Common methodologies and data reporting protocols for tissue dissociation, cell yield, cell viability, FACS, and postsort purity were established. Seven centers tested the standardized methods by FACS-isolating a specific crypt-based epithelial population (EpCAM+/CD44+) from murine small intestine. Genetic biomarkers for stem/progenitor (Lgr5 and Atoh 1) and differentiated cell lineages (lysozyme, mucin2, chromogranin A, and sucrase isomaltase) were interrogated in target and control populations to assess intra- and intercenter variability. Wilcoxon's rank sum test on gene expression levels showed limited intracenter variability between biological replicates. Principal component analysis demonstrated significant intercenter reproducibility among four centers. Analysis of data collected by standardized cell isolation methods and data reporting requirements readily identified methodological problems, indicating that standard reporting parameters facilitate post hoc error identification. These results indicate that the complexity of FACS isolation of target intestinal epithelial populations can be highly reproducible between biological replicates and different institutions by adherence to common cell isolation methods and FACS gating strategies. This study can be considered a foundation for continued method development and a starting point for investigators that are developing cell isolation expertise to study physiology and pathophysiology of the intestinal epithelium.

Project description:This study generated ErbB2-specific CAR-T and CAR-CIK (cytokine induced killer) cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by lentiviral transduction. Transduced and untransduced parental cells were co-incubated with the human rhabomyosarcoma cell line Rh30 for 24 hours, harvested and washed twice. CD45+ (CD45PacificBlue, BioLegend) effector cells were isolated via FACS (BD FACS Aria 3), spun down and stored at -80 °C for analysis via LS-MS.
