Proteomics

Proteomics

A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

Area of Science:

Proteomics
Biotechnology
Tissue Microenvironment Analysis

Background:

Bulk tissue proteomics lacks spatial resolution, obscuring cellular heterogeneity.
Mapping tissue microenvironments requires methods with high spatial resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a robust method for label-free single voxel proteomics.
To enable spatial proteome mapping of tissue microenvironments.

Main Methods:

Integrated wet collection of single microscale tissue voxels.
Surfactant-assisted One-Pot voxel processing (wcSOP) method.
Laser capture microdissection (LCM) for voxel isolation.

Main Results:

Reproducible quantification of ~900 proteins from 20µm voxels (~1 cell region).
Quantification of ~4600 proteins from 200µm voxels (~100 cell region).
Demonstrated applicability to fresh frozen, OCT-embedded, and FFPE human tissues.

Conclusions:

wcSOP enables robust, label-free single voxel proteomics.
The method reveals spatially resolved protein signatures and signaling pathways.
wcSOP-MS facilitates routine spatial proteomics and tissue microenvironment analysis.
