A reference database of electrophoretic migration patterns for human proteins in a set of cell lines.

ABSTRACT: Protein denaturing electrophoresis based on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS-PAGE) is a technique widely applied for studying proteins, either alone or in combination with specific antibody-based detection. Despite its popularity, SDS-PAGE and western blotting are poorly reproducible and can give different results depending on experimental factors affecting electrophoresis but also on the characteristics of the antibodies used for detection. We reasoned that a reference database of accurately determined migration patterns for human proteins would be very useful for the community. Using mass spectrometry and an internal calibration strategy, we have constructed a database of migration patterns for thousands of proteins in five commonly used human cell lines and one mouse cell line. We show that the electrophoretic molecular weights determined are accurate and, for a large portion of the proteome, highly reproducible across replicates and cell lines. Data exploration highlighted numerous known protein processing events that can be mapped by combining migration patterns and the sequence coverage observed. The information is freely available in a website and should constitute a useful reference for investigators trying to validate western blot results and protein migrations in general.

Native molecular weight (MW) is one of the defining features of proteins. Denaturing gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is a very popular technique for separating proteins and determining their MW. Coupled with antibody-based detection, SDS-PAGE is widely applied for protein identification and quantitation. Yet, electrophoresis is poorly reproducible and the MWs obtained are often inaccurate. This hampers antibody validation and negatively impacts the reliability of western blot data, resulting worl ...[more]

Project description:In vertebrates, all cells except circulating blood cells must adhere to support their normal growth and functions. The adherence to extracellular matrix and/or other cells is critical and adherent cells placed in non-adherent conditions either die or form multicellular spheroids. Placing cells in non-adherent conditions has been used to induce differentiation in teratocarcinoma cells and more recently to form organoids . Because of such important consequences induced by cell adhesion on cell growth and function, the transition between adherent and non-adherent states is rather rare. There are however physiological situations, such as blood cells diapedesis, during which cells that circulate into the blood stream must adhere to the endothelial cells and cross the endothelial barrier to reach target tissues. Another example of transition, from an adherent to a non-adherent state, is observed in the metastasic process, where cells detach from the tumor mass and circulate in the blood and lymphatic vasculature prior to reattaching and extravasating to colonize distant organs. The comparative analysis of the only effects of adherence on cellular functions is complicated by the fact that in many study models the acquisition or loss of adherence induces major alterations in cell physiology that would obscure the effects of the adherence itself. For example, P19 teratocarcinoma cells differentiate in suspension spheroids while they do not in adhering conditions. In this context, the comparison between spheroids and adherent cells would not be a comparison between adherent and non-adherent cells, but between differentiated cells adhering between them and undifferentiated cells adhering on plastic. Mouse macrophage cell lines represent one of the rare experimental models that may be suitable to compare the adherent and non-adherent states. Indeed, they grow equally well under adherent and non-adherent conditions and keep their differentiated functions under both conditions. We therefore decided to use this model to analyze the changes between the adherent and the non-adherent state using a broad approach, based on proteomics.
