Comparative Analyses of Data Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometric Approaches: DIA, WiSIM‐DIA, and Untargeted DIA

Abstract

Data‐independent acquisition (DIA) is an emerging technology for quantitative proteomics. Current DIA focusses on the identification and quantitation of fragment ions that are generated from multiple peptides contained in the same selection window of several to tens of m/z. An alternative approach is WiSIM‐DIA, which combines conventional DIA with wide‐SIM (wide selected‐ion monitoring) windows to partition the precursor m/z space to produce high‐quality precursor ion chromatograms. However, WiSIM‐DIA has been underexplored; it remains unclear if it is a viable alternative to DIA. We demonstrate that WiSIM‐DIA quantified more than 24 000 unique peptides over five orders of magnitude in a single 2 h analysis of a neuronal synapse‐enriched fraction, compared to 31 000 in DIA. There is a strong correlation between abundance values of peptides quantified in both the DIA and WiSIM‐DIA datasets. Interestingly, the S/N ratio of these peptides is not correlated. We further show that peptide identification directly from DIA spectra identified >2000 proteins, which included unique peptides not found in spectral libraries generated by DDA.

Proteomics of neurodegenerative diseases: analysis of human post‐mortem brain

“…; Koopmans et al . ). This technique has the potential to develop into a high throughput methodology and is particularly useful for experiments of large sample sizes, such as the analysis of multiple brain regions across different neurodegenerative stages from various dementias.…”

Scalable Data Analysis in Proteomics and Metabolomics Using BioContainers and Workflows Engines

“…The list of quantified proteins is provided to the downstream statistical analysis step, which reports the final relevant proteins. In data‐independent acquisition (DIA) methods, precursor ions are selected according to their abundances, DIA aims to implement a parallel fragmentation of all precursor ions, regardless of their intensity or other characteristics, enabling the establishment of a complete record of the sample . Different software have been implemented to analyze DIA datasets, such as OpenSWATH and Skyline …”

Combined cellomics and proteomics analysis reveals shared neuronal morphology and molecular pathway phenotypes for multiple schizophrenia risk genes

“…Cells were scraped and recovered in Eppendorf tubes, centrifuged at 3000 × g for 5 min at 4°C, supernatant discarded, and cells resuspended in 15 μl of loading buffer. Samples were processed for mass spectrometry as described previously [20,21]. Protein samples were run on an sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gel and the gel was fixed and stained with Coomassie blue.…”
