This work demonstrates the utility of high-throughput nanoLC-MS and label-free quantification (LFQ) for sample-limited bottom-up proteomics analysis, including single-cell proteomics (SCP). Conditions were optimized on a 50 μm internal diameter (I.D.) column operated at 100 nL/min in the direct injection workflow to balance method sensitivity and sample throughput from 24 to 72 samples/day. Multiple data acquisition strategies were also evaluated for proteome coverage, including data-dependent acquisition (DDA), wide-window acquisition (WWA), and wide-window data-independent acquisition (WW-DIA). Analyzing 250 pg HeLa digest with a 10-min LC gradient (72 samples/day) provided >900, >1,800, and >3,000 protein group identifications for DDA, WWA, and WW-DIA, respectively. Total method cycle time was further reduced from 20 to 14.4 min (100 samples/day) by employing a trap-and-elute workflow, enabling 70% mass spectrometer utilization. The method was applied to library-free DIA analysis of single-cell samples, yielding >1,700 protein groups identified. In conclusion, this study provides a high-sensitivity, high-throughput nanoLC-MS configuration for sample-limited proteomics.

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is gaining attention in the field of single-cell proteomics for its ultralow-flow and high-resolution separation abilities. Even more sample-limited yet rich in biological information are phosphoproteomics experiments, as the phosphoproteome composes only a fraction of the whole cellular proteome. Rapid analysis, high sensitivity, and maximization of sample utilization are paramount for single-cell analysis.

Background: As a more common but easily neglected disorder, minimal depressive symptoms (MDS), it is unclear whether and why it increases the risk of cognitive progression in non-dementia elderly.
Methods: The Alzheimer's disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database was used to assign 1065 non-dementia elderly into normal control (n = 380) and MDS (n = 685) groups via the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Blood neutrophils, transcriptomics and metabolomics, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomics, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data were analyzed.

Mass spectrometry has revolutionized cell signaling research by vastly simplifying the analysis of many thousands of phosphorylation sites in the human proteome. Defining the cellular response to perturbations is crucial for further illuminating the functionality of the phosphoproteome. Here we describe µPhos ('microPhos'), an accessible phosphoproteomics platform that permits phosphopeptide enrichment from 96-well cell culture and small tissue amounts in <8 h total processing time.

The characterization of proteins and complexes in biological systems is essential to establish their critical properties and to understand their unique functions in a plethora of bioprocesses. However, it is highly difficult to analyze low levels of intact proteins in their native states (especially those exceeding 30 kDa) with liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS). Herein, we describe for the first time the use of nanoflow ion-exchange chromatography directly coupled with native MS to resolve mixtures of intact proteins.
