Improved Single Cell Proteome Coverage Using Narrow-Bore Packed NanoLC Columns and Ultrasensitive Mass Spectrometry

ABSTRACT: we report on improved single-cell proteome coverage through the combination of the previously developed Nanodroplet Processing in One Pot for Trace Samples (nanoPOTS) platform with further miniaturization of liquid chromatography (LC) separations and implementation of an ultrasensitive latest-generation mass spectrometry (MS) instrument.

Single-cell proteomics can provide unique insights into biological processes by resolving heterogeneity that is obscured by bulk measurements. Gains in the overall sensitivity and proteome coverage through improvements in sample processing and analysis increase the information content obtained from each cell, particularly for less abundant proteins. Here we report on improved single-cell proteome coverage through the combination of the previously developed nanoPOTS platform with further miniatur ...[more]

Project description:The sensitivity of single-cell proteomics (SCP) has increased dramatically in recent years due to advances in experimental design, sample preparation, separations and mass spectrometry instrumentation. However, further increasing the sensitivity of SCP methods and instrumentation will enable the study of proteins within single cells that are expressed at copy numbers too small to be measured by current methods. Here we further increase SCP sensitivity by combining efficient nanoPOTS sample preparation and ultra-low-flow liquid chromatography with a newly developed data acquisition and analysis scheme termed wide window acquisition (WWA) to extend the achievable proteome coverage for single cells to >3,000 for single-cell data analyses. WWA is based on data-dependent acquisition (DDA) but employs larger precursor isolation windows to intentionally co-isolate and co-fragment additional precursors along with the selected precursor. The resulting chimeric MS2 spectra are then resolved using the CHIMERYS search engine within Proteome Discoverer 3.0. Compared to standard DDA workflows, WWA employing isolation windows of 8-12 Th increases peptide and proteome coverage by ~28% and ~39%, respectively. For a 40 min LC gradient operated at ~15 nL/min, we identified an average of 2,150 proteins per single-cell-sized aliquots of protein digest directly from MS2 spectra, which increased to an average 3,524 proteins including proteins identified with MS1-level feature matching. Reducing the active gradient to 20 min resulted in only a 10% decrease in proteome coverage. We also compared performance of WWA with DIA underperformed relative to WWA in terms of proteome coverage, especially with faster separations. Average proteome coverage for single HeLa and K562 cells was respectively 1,758 and 1,642 based on MS2 identifications with 1% false discovery rate and 3042 and 2891 with MS1 feature matching. As such, WWA combined with efficient sample preparation and rapid separations extends the depths of the proteome that can be studied at the single-cell level.
