Targeted mass spectrometry (MS) approaches, which are powerful methods for uniquely and confidently quantifying a specific panel of proteins in complex biological samples, play a crucial role in validating and clinically translating protein biomarkers discovered through global proteomic profiling. Common targeted MS methods, such as multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and parallel-reaction monitoring (PRM), employ specific mass spectrometric technologies to quantify protein levels by comparing the transitions of surrogate endogenous (ENDO) peptides with those of stable isotope-labeled (SIL) peptide counterparts. These methods utilizing amino acid analyzed (AAA) SIL peptides warrant sensitive and precise measurements required for targeted MS assays.

We determined the effects of yolk water-soluble protein (YSP) on bone formation in pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. YSP (50-5,000 microg/ml) increased cell proliferation and collagen content. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was also increased by YSP treatment.
