Mass spectrometry-based quantification.

Clin Biochem

Published: April 2013

Objective: This review describes the most common methods currently used for mass spectrometry-based quantification in proteomic applications.

Design And Methods: Quantification can be performed using either labeled or unlabeled approaches. Labeled approaches rely on mass-tagging of peptide reference standards either by direct synthesis or through chemical or metabolic means. Following labeling, samples are pooled and analyzed as one, thereby circumventing any potential error that could result from run-to-run variability. Unlabeled approaches rely on run-to-run comparisons between test and reference samples and assume a highly reproducible separation and similar sample compositions.

Results: A number of commercial labeling reagents are now available and each of these are described along with their strengths and limitations.

Conclusions: The choice of method will ultimately depend, not just on financial considerations, but also on the context of the experiment.

Proteomic patterns associated with ketamine response in major depressive disorders.

Cell Biol Toxicol

January 2025

Research Institute, The Affiliated Brain Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, 510370, China.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest. Ketamine has been widely used to treat MDD owing to its rapid effect in relieving depressive symptoms. Importantly, not all patients respond to ketamine treatment.

Evaluation of MALDI-TOF for identification of Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus from growth on agar media.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol

January 2025

Vibrio Reference Laboratory, Bureau of Microbial Hazards, Health Canada, Ottawa, ON, Canada.

Two methods were compared for their ability to accurately identify Vibrio species of interest: whole genome sequencing as the reference method and MALDI-TOF MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry) proteome fingerprinting. The accuracy of mass spectrometry-based identification method was evaluated for its ability to accurately identify isolates of Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Identification result of each isolate obtained by mass spectrometry was compared to identification by whole genome sequencing (WGS).

Plants defend against chewing herbivores by up-regulating jasmonic acid (JA) signaling, which activates downstream signaling cascades and produces numerous secondary metabolites that act as defense molecules against the herbivores. Although secondary metabolism always remains a focus of research, primary metabolism is also reported to be realigned upon herbivory. However, JA signaling-mediated modulation of primary metabolites and their metabolic pathways in plants are mostly unexplored.

Recent improvements in methods and instruments used in mass spectrometry have greatly enhanced the detection of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). On the computational side, the adoption of open modification search strategies now allows for the identification of a wide variety of PTMs, potentially revealing hundreds to thousands of distinct modifications in biological samples. While the observable part of the proteome is continuously growing, the visualization and interpretation of this vast amount of data in a comprehensive fashion is not yet possible.
