Evaluation of dynamic changes in interstitial fluid proteome following microdialysis probe insertion trauma in trapezius muscle of healthy women

Abstract

Microdialysis (MD) has been shown to be a promising technique for sampling of biomarkers. Implantation of MD probe causes an acute tissue trauma and provokes innate response cascades. In order to normalize tissue a two hours equilibration period for analysis of small molecules has been reported previously. However, how the proteome profile changes due to this acute trauma has yet to be fully understood. To characterize the early proteome events induced by this trauma we compared proteome in muscle dialysate collected during the equilibration period with two hours later in “post-trauma”. Samples were collected from healthy females using a 100 kDa MW cut off membrane and analyzed by high sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Proteins involved in stress response, immune system processes, inflammatory responses and nociception from extracellular and intracellular fluid spaces were identified. Sixteen proteins were found to be differentially abundant in samples collected during first two hours in comparison to “post-trauma”. Our data suggests that microdialysis in combination with mass spectrometry may provide potentially new insights into the interstitial proteome of trapezius muscle, yet should be further adjusted for biomarker discovery and diagnostics. Moreover, MD proteome alterations in response to catheter injury may reflect individual innate reactivity.

Differentially Expressed Proteins in Intra Synovial Compared to Extra Synovial Flexor Tendon Grafts in a Rabbit Tendon Transplantation Model

“…The proteins were reduced by incubating in 25 mM dithiothreitol for 15 min and alkylated 75 mM iodoacetamide for an additional 15 min. The samples were diluted 8× with 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate and filtered by 3 kDa Amicon spin-filter before digestion with trypsin (1:25, w / w trypsin/protein) [ 10 ]. The digested peptides were dried in a speed vacuum concentrator, reconstituted in 0.1% of formic acid in MilliQ water, and subjected to liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis.…”

“…Reversed-phase chromatography was performed using the EASY-nano LC II, as described previously [ 10 ]. The injection volume was 4 μL; mobile phases consisted of 0.1% formic acid in water (A) and 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile (B).…”

“…Raw files were searched using Sequest HT in Proteome Discoverer (ThermoFisher Scientific, San Jose, CA, USA; version 1.4.0.288) using the following parameters as described previously [ 10 ]: semi trypsin was used as digestion enzyme; maximum number of missed cleavages 2; fragment ion mass tolerance 0.60 Da; parent ion mass tolerance 10.0 ppm; fixed modification–carbamidomethylation of cysteine; variable modifications–terminal acetylation, methionine oxidation. Data were filtered at a 1% false discovery rate, high peptide confidence, rank 1 peptides in top-scored proteins.…”

Oligomeric amyloid-β induces early and widespread changes to the proteome in human iPSC-derived neurons

“…Database searches and label-free quantification. Database searches and label-free quantification (LFQ) were performed as described previously [80][81][82] . Raw files were searched using Sequest HT in Proteome Discoverer (Thermo; version 1.4.0.288) and X!…”

Unraveling local tissue changes within severely injured skeletal muscles in response to MSC-based intervention using MALDI Imaging mass spectrometry

“…Commonly used techniques to investigate tissue proteomes include liquid based proteomic approaches, e. g. 2D gel electrophoresis or liquid chromatography (LC) based mass spectrometry 11 , 12 . However, these techniques do not enable a direct correlation between differentially expressed protein profiles and the tissue histology.…”
