A framework for ultra-low input spatial tissue proteomics

ABSTRACT: Spatial tissue proteomics combining microscopy-based cell phenotyping with ultrasensitive mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is an emerging and powerful concept for the study of cell function and heterogeneity in health and disease. However, optimized workflows that preserve morphological information for image-based phenotype discovery and maximize proteome coverage of few or even single cells from laser microdissected archival tissue, are currently lacking. Here, we report a robust and scalable workflow for the proteomic analysis of ultra-low input formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) material. Benchmarking in the murine liver resulted in up to 2,000 quantified proteins from single hepatocyte contours and nearly 5,000 proteins from 50-cell regions with high quantitative reproducibility. Applied to human tonsil, we profiled 146 microregions including spatially defined T and B lymphocyte niches and quantified cell-type specific markers, cytokines, immune cell regulators and transcription factors. These rich data also highlighted proteome dynamics in spatially defined zones of activated germinal centers, illuminating sites undergoing active B-cell proliferation and somatic hypermutation. Our results demonstrate the power of spatially-resolved proteomics for tissue phenotyping by integrating high-content imaging, laser microdissection, and ultrasensitive mass spectrometry. This approach has broad implications for a wide range of biomedical applications, including early disease profiling, drug target discovery and biomarker research.

An automated and fast sample preparation workflow for laser microdissection guided ultrasensitive proteomics

Project description:Spatial tissue proteomics integrating whole-slide imaging, laser microdissection and ultrasensitive mass spectrometry is a powerful approach to link cellular phenotypes to functional proteome states in (patho)physiology. To be applicable to large patient cohorts and low sample input amounts, including single-cell applications, loss-minimized and streamlined end-to-end workflows are key. We here introduce an automated sample preparation protocol for laser microdissected samples utilizing the cellenONEÃ‚Â® robotic system, which has the capacity to process 192 samples in three hours. Following laser microdissection collection directly into the proteoCHIP LF 48 or EVO 96 chip, our optimized protocol facilitates lysis, formalin de-crosslinking and tryptic digest of low-input archival tissue samples. The seamless integration with the Evosep ONE LC system by centrifugation allows Ã¢â‚¬Ëœon-the-flyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ sample clean-up, particularly pertinent for laser microdissected workflows. We validate our method in human tonsil archival tissue, where we profile proteomes of spatially-defined B-cell, T-cell and epithelial microregions of 4,000 Ã‚Âµm2 to a depth of ~2,000 proteins and with high cell type specificity. We finally provide detailed equipment templates and experimental guidelines for broad accessibility.

A peptide-derived strategy for specifically targeting the mitochondrial-ER network of cancer cells: a new paradigm in fighting cancer

Project description:An effective anti-cancer therapy should exclusively target cancer cells and trigger in them a broad spectrum of cell death pathways that will prevent avoidance. Here, we present a novel paradigm in cancer therapy that specifically targets the mitochondria and ER of cancer cells. We developed a peptide derived from the flexible and transmembrane domains of the human protein NAF-1/CISD2. This peptide (NAF-1) specifically permeated through the plasma membranes of human epithelial breast cancer cells, abolished their mitochondrial-ER network, and triggered cell death with characteristics of apoptosis, ferroptosis and necroptosis. In vivo analysis revealed that the peptide significantly decreased tumor growth in mice carrying xenograft human tumors. Computational simulations of cancer vs. normal cells membranes revealed that the specificity of the peptide to cancer cells is due to its selective recognition of their membrane composition. NAF-1 represents therefore a promising anti-cancer lead compound that acts via a unique mechanism.

Deregulated Expression of the 14q32 miRNA Cluster in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinomas

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) are characterized by arm-wide chromosomal alterations. Loss at 14q is associated with disease aggressiveness in ccRCC, which responds poorly to chemotherapeutics. The 14q locus contains one of the largest miRNA clusters in the human genome; however, little is known about the contribution of these miRNAs to ccRCC pathogenesis. In this regard, we investigated the expression pattern of selected miRNAs at the 14q32 locus in TCGA kidney tumors and in ccRCC cell lines. We validated that the miRNA cluster is downregulated in ccRCC (and cell lines) as well as in papillary kidney tumors relative to normal kidney tissues and primary renal proximal tubule epithelial (RPTEC) cells. We demonstrated that agents modulating expression of DNMT1 (e.g., 5-Aza-deoxycytidine) could modulate miRNA expression in ccRCC cell lines. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA, a Lysophospholipid mediator elevated in ccRCC) not only increased labile iron content but also modulated expression of 14q32 miRNAs. Through an overexpression approach targeting a subset of 14q32 miRNAs (specifically at subcluster A: miR-431, miR-432, miR-127, and miR-433) in 769-P cells, we uncovered changes in cellular viability and claudin-1, a tight junction marker. A global proteomic approach was implemented using these miRNA overexpressing cell lines which uncovered ATXN2 as a highly downregulated target, which has a role in chronic kidney disease pathogenesis. Collectively, these findings support a contribution of miRNAs at 14q32 in ccRCC pathogenesis.

Deep Visual Proteomics defines single-cell identity and heterogeneity

Project description:Despite the availabilty of imaging-based and mass-spectrometry-based methods for spatial proteomics, a key challenge remains connecting images with single-cell-resolution protein abundance measurements. Here we introduce Deep Visual Proteomics (DVP), which combines artificial-intelligence-driven image analysis of cellular phenotypes with automated single-cell or single-nucleus laser microdissection and ultra-high-sensitivity mass spectrometry. DVP links protein abundance to complex cellular or subcellular phenotypes while preserving spatial context. By individually excising nuclei from cell culture, we classified distinct cell states with proteomic profiles defined by known and uncharacterized proteins. In an archived primary melanoma tissue, DVP identified spatially resolved proteome changes as normal melanocytes transition to fully invasive melanoma, revealing pathways that change in a spatial manner as cancer progresses, such as mRNA splicing dysregulation in metastatic vertical growth that coincides with reduced interferon signaling and antigen presentation. The ability of DVP to retain precise spatial proteomic information in the tissue context has implications for the molecular profiling of clinical samples.

Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras With Reduced Off-targets

Project description:Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are molecules that induce proximity between target proteins and E3 ligases triggering target protein degradation. Pomalidomide, a widely used E3 ligase recruiter in PROTACs, can independently degrade other proteins, including zinc-finger (ZF) proteins, with vital roles in health and disease. This off-target degradation hampers the therapeutic applicability of pomalidomide-based PROTACs, requiring development of PROTAC design rules that minimize off-target degradation. Here we developed a highthroughput platform that interrogates off-target degradation and found that reported pomalidomide-based PROTACs induce degradation of several ZF proteins. We generated a library of pomalidomide analogs to understand how functionalising different positions of the phthalimide ring, hydrogen bonding, steric and hydrophobic effects impact ZF protein degradation. Modifications of appropriate size on the C5 position reduced off-target ZF degradation, which we validated through target engagement and proteomics studies. By applying these design principles, we developed ALK oncoprotein-targeting PROTACs with enhanced potency and minimal offtarget degradation.

Ion mobility fractionation coupled to PASEF for enhanced proteome coverage

Project description:Data provided report the use of trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) to fractionate ions in the gas phase based on their ion mobility (V⋅s/cm2) followed by parallel accumulation serial fragmentation (PASEF) in a quadrupole time-of-flight instrument. TIMS fractionation coupled to DDA-PASEF allowed for the detection of approximately 7,000 proteins and over 70,000 peptides per overall run from 200ng of human (HeLa) cell lysate per injection using a commercial UPLC column with a 90-minute gradient. This project also explored the utility of TIMS fractionation to generate a DDA library for downstream DIA analysis using shorter LC gradients (20 minutes) as well as lower sample input. Using a 20min gradient, we identified 4,092 and 6,654 proteins on average per run, respectively, from 10ng and 200ng of human (HeLa) cell lysate input based on a TIMS-fractionated library consisting of 82,214 peptides derived from 7,615 proteins.

Fast proteomics with dia-PASEF and analytical flow-rate chromatography

Project description:The presented approach is a combination of analytical flow rate chromatography with ion mobility separation of peptide ions, data-independent acquisition, and raw data processing using the DIA-NN software suite, to conduct fast, low-cost proteomic experiments that only require moderate sample amounts. The present dataset contains a series of benchmarks. Specifically, a dilution series of a K562 digest standard acquired using 5-minute and 3-minute chromatographic gradients, as well as a mixed-species human–E.coli benchmark for quantitative performance. We further demonstrate the application of the proposed approach to the analysis of plasma proteomes of COVID-19 patients, using a 3-minute gradient acquisition on a dual-column liquid chromatography system at a throughput of 398 samples/day.

Heart failure-induced cognitive dysfunction is mediated by intracellular Ca2+ leak through ryanodine receptor type 2.

Project description:Cognitive dysfunction (CD) in heart failure (HF) adversely affects treatment compliance and quality of life. Although, ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2) has been linked to cardiac muscle dysfunction, its role in CD remains unclear. Here, we show in hippocampal neurons from patients and mice with HF that the ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2)/intracellular Ca 2+ release channels were post-translationally modified (PTM) and leaky. RyR2 PTM was caused by hyper-adrenergic stress and activation of the transforming growth factor (TGF-β) pathway. HF mice treated with either a RyR2 stabilizer drug (S107), beta-blocker (propranolol) or TGF-β inhibitor (SD-208), or mice insensitive RyR2 Ca 2+ leak (RyR2-S2808A), were protected against HF-induced CD. Taken together, we propose that HF is a systemic illness that include cardiogenic dementia, and intracellular Ca 2+ leak is a common effector in multiple components of HF.

Spatial Proteomics of a Human Brain Tumour at 40 Âµm resolution

Project description:The spatial organisation of Cellular protein expression profiles within tissues determines cellular function and are key to understanding disease pathology. To define molecular phenotypes in the spatial context of tissue, there is a need for unbiased, quantitative technology capable of mapping proteomes within tissue structures. Here, we present a workflow for spatially resolved, quantitative proteomics of tissue that generates maps of protein expression across a tissue slice derived from a human atypical teratoid-rhabdoid tumour (AT/RT). We employ spatially-aware statistical methods that do not require prior knowledge of the fine tissue structure to detect proteins and pathways with varying spatial abundance patterns. We identified PYGL, ASPH and CD45 as spatial markers for tumour boundary and reveal immune response driven, spatially organized protein networks of the extracellular tumour matrix. Overall, this work informs on methods for spatially resolved deep proteo-phenotyping of tissue heterogeneity, which will push the boundaries of understanding tissue biology and pathology at the molecular level.

Sildenafil Combined with Controlled Hypothermia Mitigates Microglial Activation After Neonatal Hypoxia-Ischemia in Rat.

Project description:The only validated treatment to prevent brain damage associated with hypoxia-ischemia (HI) encephalopathy of the newborn is controlled hypothermia with limited benefits. Additional putative neuroprotective drug candidates include sildenafil citrate, a phosphodiesterase-type 5 inhibitor. The main objective of this preclinical study is to assess its ability to reduce HI-induced neuroinflammation, in particular through its potential effect on microglial activation. HI was induced in P10 Sprague–Dawley rats by unilateral carotid permanent artery occlusion and hypoxia (HI), and treated by either hypothermia (HT) alone, Sildenafil (Sild) alone or combined treatment (SildHT). Lesion size, glial activation were analyzed by immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR and proteomic analyses performed at P13. Exposure to any treatment was not associated with significant reduction in lesions size both in cerebral cortex and hippocampus, 72h after HI. Significant reductions in either Iba1+ (within the ipsilateral hemisphere) or GFAP+ cells (within the ipsilateral hippocampus) were observed in SildHT group, but not in the other treatment groups. In microglia sorted cells, pro-inflammatory markers, ie. Il1b, Il6, Nos2, and CD86 were significantly downregulated in SildHT treatment group only. These changes were restricted to ipsilateral hemisphere, were not evidenced in sorted astrocytes, and were not sex-dependent. Proteomic analyses in sorted microglia refined the pro-inflammatory effect of HI and confirmed a biologically relevant impact of SildHT on specific molecular pathways including notably genes related to neutrophilic functions. Our findings demonstrate that Sildenafil combined with controlled hypothermia confers maximum effect to mitigate microglial activation induced by HI through complex proteomic regulation. The reduction of neuroinflammation induced by Sildenafil may represent an interesting therapeutic strategy for neonatal neuroprotection.
