Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has traditionally been limited by the amount of input material for analysis. Single-cell proteomics has emerged as a challenging discipline due to the ultra-high sensitivity required. Isobaric labeling-based multiplex strategies with a carrier proteome offer an approach to overcome the sensitivity limitations. Following this as the basic strategy, we show here the general workflow for preparing cells for single-cell mass spectrometry-based proteomics. This protocol can also be applied to manually isolated cells when large cells, such as cardiomyocytes, are difficult to isolate properly with conventional fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) sorter methods.

Introduction: Carotenoids are naturally occurring pigments in plants and are responsible for the orange, yellow, and red color of fruits and vegetables. Carrots are one of the primary dietary sources of carotenoids. The biological activities of carotenoids in higher organisms, including their immunomodulatory activities, are well documented in most tissues but not the large intestine.

Isobaric labeling-based mass spectrometry (ILMS) has been widely used to quantify, on a proteome-wide scale, the relative protein abundance in different biological conditions. However, large-scale ILMS data sets typically involve multiple runs of mass spectrometry, bringing great computational difficulty to the integration of ILMS samples. We present zMAP, a toolset that makes ILMS intensities comparable across mass spectrometry runs by modeling the associated mean-variance dependence and accordingly applying a variance stabilizing z-transformation.

Mass spectrometry-based single-cell proteomics has undergone rapid progress and has become an active research area. However, because of the ultralow amount of proteins in single cells, it is still highly challenging to achieve efficient sample preparation and sensitive LC-MS detection. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for isobaric labeling-based single-cell proteomics relying on a microfluidic droplet-based sample processing technology.
