Popis: | The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced in the brain by cells in the choroid plexus at a rate of 500mL/day. It is the only body fluid in direct contact with the brain. Thus, any changes in the CSF composition will reflect pathological processes and make CSF a potential source of biomarkers for different disease states. Proteomics offers a comprehensive view of the proteins found in CSF. In this study, we use a recently developed non-gel based method of sample preparation of CSF followed by liquid chromatography high accuracy mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for MS and MS/MS analyses, allowing unambiguous identification of peptides/proteins. Gel-eluted liquid fraction entrapment electrophoresis (Gelfree) is used to separate a CSF complex protein mixture in 12 user-selectable liquid-phase molecular weight fractions. Using this high throughput workflow we have been able to separate CSF intact proteins over a broad mass range 3.5 kDa-100 kDa with high resolution between 15 kDa and 100 kDa in 2 hours and 40 min. We have completely eliminated albumin and were able to interrogate the low abundance CSF proteins in a highly reproducible manner from different CSF samples in the same time. Using LC-MS as a downstream analysis, we identified 368 proteins using MidiTrap G-10 desalting columns and 166 proteins (including 57 unique proteins) using Zeba spin columns with 5% false discovery rate (FDR). Prostaglandin D2 synthase, Chromogranin A, Apolipoprotein E, Chromogranin B, Secretogranin III, Cystatin C, VGF nerve growth factor, Cadherin 2 are a few of the proteins that were characterized. The Gelfree-LC-MS is a robust method for the analysis of the human proteome that we will use to develop biomarkers for several neurodegenerative diseases and to quantitate these markers using multiple reaction monitoring. |
