Here we demonstrate a technique to generate proteomic signatures of specific cell types within heterogeneous populations. While our method is broadly applicable across biological systems, we have limited the current work to study neural cell types isolated from human, post-mortem Alzheimer's disease (AD) and aged-matched non-symptomatic (NS) brains. Motivating the need for this tool, we conducted an initial meta-analysis of current, human AD proteomics studies. While the results broadly corroborated major neurodegenerative disease hypotheses, cell type-specific predictions were limited. By adapting our Formaldehyde-fixed Intracellular Target-Sorted Antigen Retrieval (FITSAR) method for proteomics and applying this technique to characterize AD and NS brains, we generated enriched neuron and astrocyte proteomic profiles for a sample set of donors (available at www.fitsarpro.appspot.com). Results showed the feasibility for using FITSAR to evaluate cell-type specific hypotheses. Our overall methodological approach provides an accessible platform to determine protein presence in specific cell types and emphasizes the need for protein-compatible techniques to resolve systems complicated by cellular heterogeneity.
