Serine hydrolases (SHs) are a functionally diverse family of enzymes playing pivotal roles in health and disease and have emerged as important therapeutic targets in many clinical conditions. Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) using fluorophosphonate (FP) probes has been a powerful chemoproteomic approach in studies unveiling roles of SHs in various biological systems. The ABPP approach utilizes cell/tissue proteomes and features the FP warhead, linked to a fluorescent reporter for in-gel fluorescence imaging or a biotin tag for streptavidin enrichment and LC-MS/MS-based target identification. Here, we advance the ABPP methodology to glioma brain cryosections, enabling highresolution confocal fluorescence imaging of SH activity in different cell types of the tumor microenvironment, identified by using extensive immunohistochemistry on activity probe labeled sections. We name this technique tissue-ABPP to distinguish it from conventional gel-based ABPP. We show heightened SH activity in glioma vs. normal brain and unveil activity hotspots originating from tumor-associated neutrophils. Thorough optimization and validation is provided by parallel gel-based ABPP combined with LC-MS/MS-based target verification. Tissue-ABPP enables a wide range of applications for confocal imaging of SH activity in any type of tissue or animal species.
