Abstract
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) remains a significant concern in modern obstetrics, linked to high neonatal health problems and even death, as well as childhood disability, affecting adult quality of life. The role of maternal and fetus adaptation during adverse pregnancy is still not completely understood. This study aimed to investigate the disturbance in biological processes associated with isolated IUGR via blood plasma proteomics. The levels of 125 maternal plasma proteins were quantified by liquid chromatography-multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (LC-MRM MS) with corresponding stable isotope-labeled peptide standards (SIS). Thirteen potential markers of IUGR (Gelsolin, Alpha-2-macroglobulin, Apolipoprotein A-IV, Apolipoprotein B-100, Apolipoprotein(a), Adiponectin, Complement C5, Apolipoprotein D, Alpha-1B-glycoprotein, Serum albumin, Fibronectin, Glutathione peroxidase 3, Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein) were found to be inter-connected in a protein-protein network. These proteins are involved in plasma lipoprotein assembly, remodeling, and clearance; lipid metabolism, especially cholesterol and phospholipids; hemostasis, including platelet degranulation; and immune system regulation. Additionally, 18 proteins were specific to a particular type of IUGR (early or late). Distinct patterns in the coagulation and fibrinolysis systems were observed between isolated early- and late-onset IUGR. Our findings highlight the complex interplay of immune and coagulation factors in IUGR and the differences between early- and late-onset IUGR and other placenta-related conditions like PE. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing targeted interventions and improving outcomes for pregnancies affected by IUGR.

Abstract
Human body fluids (biofluids) contain various proteins, some of which reflect individuals' physiological conditions or predict diseases. Therefore, the analysis of biofluids can provide substantial information on novel biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and prognosis. In the past decades, mass spectrometry (MS)-based technologies have been developed as proteomic strategies not only for the identification of protein biomarkers but also for biomarker verification/validation in body fluids for clinical applications. The main advantage of targeted MS-based methodologies is the accurate and specific simultaneous quantitation of multiple biomarkers with high sensitivity. Here, we review MS-based methodologies that are currently used for the targeted quantitation of protein components in human body fluids, especially in plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and saliva. In addition, the currently used MS-based methodologies are summarized with a specific focus on applicable clinical sample types, MS configurations, and acquisition modes.

Abstract
Blood microsampling combined with large panels of clinically relevant tests are of major interest for the development of home sampling and predictive medicine. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the practicality and medical utility of microsamples quantification using mass spectrometry (MS) in a clinical setting by comparing two types of microsamples for multiplex MS protein detection. In a clinical trial based on elderly population, we compared 2 µL of plasma to dried blood spot (DBS) with a clinical quantitative multiplex MS approach. The analysis of the microsamples allowed the quantification of 62 proteins with satisfactory analytical performances. A total of 48 proteins were significantly correlated between microsampling plasma and DBS (p < 0.0001). The quantification of 62 blood proteins allowed us to stratify patients according to their pathophysiological status. Apolipoproteins D and E were the best biomarker link to IADL (instrumental activities of daily living) score in microsampling plasma as well as in DBS. It is, thus, possible to detect multiple blood proteins from micro-samples in compliance with clinical requirements and this allows, for example, to monitor the nutritional or inflammatory status of patients. The implementation of this type of analysis opens new perspectives in the field of diagnosis, monitoring and risk assessment for personalized medicine approaches.

Abstract
Preclinical and clinical trials require rapid, precise, and multiplexed analytical methods to characterize the complex samples and to allow high-throughput biomarker monitoring with low consumption of sample material. Targeted proteomics has been used to address these challenges when quantifying protein abundances in complex biological matrices. In many of these studies, blood plasma is collected either as the main research or diagnostic sample or in combination with other specimens. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based targeted proteomics using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) or parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) with stable isotope-labeled internal standard (SIS) peptides allows robust characterization of blood plasma protein via absolute quantification. Compared to other commonly used technologies like enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), targeted proteomics is faster, more sensitive, and more cost-effective. Here we describe a protocol for the quantification of proteins in blood plasma using targeted MRM proteomics with heavy-labeled internal standards. The 270-protein panel allows rapid and robust absolute quantitative proteomic characterization of blood plasma in a 1 h gradient. The method we describe here works for non-depleted plasma, which makes it simple and easy to implement. Moreover, the protocol works with the two most commonly used blood plasma collection methods used in practice, namely, either K2EDTA or sodium citrate as anticoagulants.

Abstract
A meta-analysis of the results of targeted quantitative screening of human blood plasma was performed to generate a reference standard kit that can be used for health analytics. The panel included 53 of the 296 proteins that form a “stable” part of the proteome of a healthy individual; these proteins were found in at least 70% of samples and were characterized by an interindividual coefficient of variation <40%. The concentration range of the selected proteins was 10−10−10−3 M and enrichment analysis revealed their association with rare familial diseases. The concentration of ceruloplasmin was reduced by approximately three orders of magnitude in patients with neurological disorders compared to healthy volunteers, and those of gelsolin isoform 1 and complement factor H were abruptly reduced in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Absolute quantitative data of the individual proteome of a healthy and diseased individual can be used as the basis for personalized medicine and health monitoring. Storage over time allows us to identify individual biomarkers in the molecular landscape and prevent pathological conditions.

Abstract
Conventional methods for the surveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by imaging, with and without serum tumor markers, are suboptimal with regard to accuracy. We aimed to develop and validate a reliable serum biomarker panel for the early detection of HCC using a proteomic technique. This multicenter case-control study comprised 727 patients with HCC and patients with risk factors but no HCC. We developed a multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) multimarker panel using 17 proteins from the sera of 398 patients. Area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) values of this MRM-MS panel with and without α-fetoprotein (AFP) and protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) were compared. The combination and standalone MRM-MS panels had higher AUROC values than AFP in the training (0.940 and 0.929 vs 0.775, both P < 0.05), test (0.894 and 0.893 vs 0.593, both P < 0.05), and confirmation sets (0.961 and 0.937 vs 0.806, both P < 0.05) in detecting small single HCC. The combination and standalone MRM-MS panels had significantly higher AUROC values than the GALAD score (0.945 and 0.931 vs 0.829, both P < 0.05). Our proteome 17-protein multimarker panel distinguished HCC patients from high-risk controls and had high accuracy in the early detection of HCC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Due to its excellent sensitivity, nano-flow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is the mainstay in proteome research; however, this comes at the expense of limited throughput and robustness. In contrast, micro-flow LC-MS/MS enables high-throughput, robustness, quantitative reproducibility, and precision while retaining a moderate degree of sensitivity. Such features make it an attractive technology for a wide range of proteomic applications. In particular, large-scale projects involving the analysis of hundreds to thousands of samples. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes the history of chromatographic separation in discovery proteomics with a focus on micro-flow LC-MS/MS, discusses the current state-of-the-art, highlights advances in column development and instrumentation, and provides guidance on which LC flow best supports different types of proteomic applications. EXPERT OPINION Micro-flow LC-MS/MS will replace nano-flow LC-MS/MS in many proteomic applications, particularly when sample quantities are not limited and sample cohorts are large. Examples include clinical analyses of body fluids, tissues, drug discovery and chemical biology investigations, plus systems biology projects across all kingdoms of life. When combined with rapid and sensitive MS, intelligent data acquisition, and informatics approaches, it will soon become possible to analyze large cohorts of more than 10,000 samples in a comprehensive and fully quantitative fashion.

Abstract
Alzheimer disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia that has gained prominence in our aging society. Yet, the complexity of diagnosing AD and measuring its invasiveness poses an obstacle. To this end, blood-based biomarkers could mitigate the inconveniences that impede an accurate diagnosis. We developed models to diagnose AD and measure the severity of neurocognitive impairment using blood protein biomarkers. Multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry, a highly selective and sensitive approach for quantifying targeted proteins in samples, was used to analyze blood samples from 4 AD groups: cognitive normal control, asymptomatic AD, prodromal AD), and AD dementia. Multimarker models were developed using 10 protein biomarkers and apolipoprotein E genotypes for amyloid beta and 10 biomarkers with Korean Mini-Mental Status Examination (K-MMSE) score for predicting Alzheimer disease progression. The accuracies for the AD classification model and AD progression monitoring model were 84.9% (95% CI 82.8 to 87.0) and 79.1% (95% CI 77.8 to 80.5), respectively. The models were more accurate in diagnosing AD, compared with single APOE genotypes and the K-MMSE score. Our study demonstrates the possibility of predicting AD with high accuracy by blood biomarker analysis as an alternative method of screening for AD.

Human Serum Albumin Cys34 Adducts in Newborn Dried Blood Spots: Associations With Air Pollution Exposure During Pregnancy. Front Public Health 2021; 9:730369. [PMID: 35004563 PMCID: PMC8733257 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2021.730369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Increasing evidence suggests that exposure to air pollution during pregnancy is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, biomarkers associated with air pollution exposure are widely lacking and often transient. In addition, ascertaining biospecimens during pregnacy to assess the prenatal environment remains largely infeasible. Objectives: To address these challenges, we investigated relationships between air pollution exposure during pregnancy and human serum albumin Cys34 (HSA-Cys34) adducts in newborn dried blood spots (DBS) samples, which captures an integration of perinatal exposures to small reactive molecules in circulating blood. Methods: Newborn DBS were obtained from a state archive for a cohort of 120 children born at one Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) hospitals in 2007. These children were selected to maximize the range of residential air pollution exposure during the entire pregnancy to PM2.5, PM10, NO2, O3, based on monthly estimates interpolated from regulatory monitoring sites. HSA-Cys34 adducts were selected based on previously reported relationships with air pollution exposure and oxidative stress. Results: Six adducts measured in newborn DBS samples were associated with air pollution exposures during pregnancy; these included direct oxidation products, adducts formed with small thiol compounds, and adducts formed with reactive aldehydes. Two general trends were identified: Exposure to air pollution late in pregnancy (i.e., in the last 30 days) was associated with increased oxidative stress, and exposure to air pollution earlier in pregnancy (i.e., not in the last 30 days) was associated with decreased oxidative stress around the time of birth. Discussion: Air pollution exposure occurring during pregnancy can alter biology and leave measurable impacts on the developing infant captured in the newborn DBS adductome, which represents a promising tool for investigating adverse birth outcomes in population-based studies.

Abstract
Human serum is one of the most attractive specimens in biomarker research. However, its overcomplicated properties have hindered the analysis of low-abundance proteins by conventional mass spectrometry techniques. This work proposes an innovative strategy for utilizing nanodiamonds (NDs) in combination with Triton X-114 protein extraction to fractionate the crude serum to six pH-tuned fractions, simplifying the overall proteome and facilitating protein profiling with high efficiency. A total of 663 proteins are identified and evenly distributed among the fractions along with 39 FDA-approved biomarkers─a remarkable increase from the 230 proteins found in unfractionated crude serum. In the low-abundance protein section, 88 proteins with 7 FDA-approved biomarkers are detected─a marked increase from the 15 proteins (2 biomarkers) observed in the untreated sample. Notably, fractions at pH 11, derived from the aqueous phase of detergent separation, suggest potential applications in rapid and robust serum proteome analysis. Notably, by outlining the excellent properties of NDs for proteomic research, this work suggests a promising extraction protocol utilizing the great compatibility of NDs with streamlined serum proteomics and identifies potential avenues for future developments. Finally, we believe that this work not just improves shotgun proteomics but also opens up studies on the interaction between NDs and the human proteome. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD029710.

Abstract
New biomarkers are being evaluated for their ability to advance the management of patients with heart failure. Despite a large pool of interesting candidate biomarkers, besides natriuretic peptides virtually none have succeeded in being applied into the clinical setting. In this review, we examine the most promising emerging candidates for clinical assessment and management of patients with heart failure. We discuss high-sensitivity cardiac troponins (Tn), procalcitonin, novel kidney markers, soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), galectin-3, growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), cluster of differentiation 146 (CD146), neprilysin, adrenomedullin (ADM), and also discuss proteomics and genetic-based risk scores. We focused on guidance and assistance with daily clinical care decision-making. For each biomarker, analytical considerations are discussed, as well as performance regarding diagnosis and prognosis. Furthermore, we discuss potential implementation in clinical algorithms and in ongoing clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate that the concept of "universal pTx pulses" is applicable to local excitation applications. METHODS A database of B0 / B 1 + maps from eight different subjects was acquired at 9.4T. Based on these maps, universal pulses that aim at local excitation of the visual cortex area in the human brain (with a flip angle of 90° or 7°) were calculated. The remaining brain regions should not experience any excitation. The pulses were designed with an extension of the "spatial domain method." A 2D and a 3D target excitation pattern were tested, respectively. The pulse performance was examined on non-database subjects by Bloch simulations and in vivo at 9.4T using a GRE anatomical MRI and a presaturated TurboFLASH B 1 + mapping sequence. RESULTS The calculated universal pulses show excellent performance in simulations and in vivo on subjects that were not contained in the design database. The visual cortex region is excited, while the desired non-excitation areas produce the only minimal signal. In simulations, the pulses with 3D target pattern show a lack of excitation uniformity in the visual cortex region; however, in vivo, this inhomogeneity can be deemed acceptable. A reduced field of view application of the universal pulse design concept was performed successfully. CONCLUSIONS The proposed design approach creates universal local excitation pulses for a flip angle of 7° and 90°, respectively. Providing universal pTx pulses for local excitation applications prospectively abandons the need for time-consuming subject-specific B0 / B 1 + mapping and pTx-pulse calculation during the scan session.

Abstract
AIMS There is a critical need for better biomarkers so that heart failure can be diagnosed at an earlier stage and with greater accuracy. The purpose of this study was to design a robust mass spectrometry (MS)-based assay for the simultaneous measurement of a panel of 35 candidate protein biomarkers of heart failure, in blood. The overall aim was to evaluate the potential clinical utility of this biomarker panel for prediction of heart failure in a cohort of 500 patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) MS assays were designed with Skyline and Spectrum Mill PeptideSelector software and developed using nanoflow reverse phase C18 chromatographic Chip Cube-based separation, coupled to a 6460 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Optimized MRM assays were applied, in a sample-blinded manner, to serum samples from a cohort of 500 patients with heart failure and non-heart failure (non-HF) controls who had cardiovascular risk factors. Both heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients were included in the study. Peptides for the Apolipoprotein AI (APOA1) protein were the most significantly differentially expressed between non-HF and heart failure patients (P = 0.013 and P = 0.046). Four proteins were significantly differentially expressed between non-HF and the specific subtypes of HF (HFrEF and HFpEF); Leucine-rich-alpha-2-glycoprotein (LRG1, P < 0.001), zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein (P = 0.005), serum paraoxanse/arylesterase (P = 0.013), and APOA1 (P = 0.038). A statistical model found that combined measurements of the candidate biomarkers in addition to BNP were capable of correctly predicting heart failure with 83.17% accuracy and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.90. This was a notable improvement on predictive capacity of BNP measurements alone, which achieved 77.1% accuracy and an AUC of 0.86 (P = 0.005). The protein peptides for LRG1, which contributed most significantly to model performance, were significantly associated with future new onset HF in the non-HF cohort [Peptide 1: odds ratio (OR) 2.345 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.456-3.775) P = 0.000; peptide 2: OR 2.264 95% CI (1.422-3.605), P = 0.001]. CONCLUSIONS This study has highlighted a number of promising candidate biomarkers for (i) diagnosis of heart failure and subtypes of heart failure and (ii) prediction of future new onset heart failure in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. Furthermore, this study demonstrates that multiplexed measurement of a combined biomarker signature that includes BNP is a more accurate predictor of heart failure than BNP alone.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Numerous immunoassays have been developed to quantify amyloid β1-40 (Aβ40) and amyloid β1-42 (Aβ42). Nevertheless, given the low concentration of Aβ and the high levels of interfering factors in plasma, quantification of plasma Aβ is still challenging. To overcome the problems related to the specificity of Aβ immunoassays, this study aimed to develop an immunoaffinity enrichment and LC-MS/MS (IA-MS) assay.
Methods
We developed an IA-MS assay using antibody-labeled magnetic beads for purification and LC-MS/MS for Aβ quantification. To avoid the loss of Aβ due to aggregation in acidic buffer, we used alkaline elution buffer for immunoaffinity enrichment. The concentrations of the Aβs in plasma samples were measured, and the correlation between the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio was also evaluated.
Results
The intensities of the Aβ mass peaks were significantly higher with the alkaline elution buffer than with the acidic elution buffer (Aβ40: 3.6-fold, Aβ42: 5.4-fold). This assay exhibited high reproducibility (intra-assay and inter-assay precision, %CV <15), and the working ranges of Aβ40 and Aβ42 were determined to be 21.7 to 692.8 pg/mL and 5.6 to 180.6 pg/mL, respectively. The concentrations of Aβ40 and Aβ42 in plasma were measured by IA-MS, and the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio was correlated with the CSF Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio (rs = 0.439, P < 0.01).
Conclusions
The IA-MS assay has sufficient analytic performance for measuring endogenous Aβ40 and Aβ42 in plasma. This assay can lead to new lines of clinical discovery related to amyloid pathology.

Abstract
Empowered by the advancement of high-throughput bio technologies, recent research on body-fluid proteomes has led to the discoveries of numerous novel disease biomarkers and therapeutic drugs. In the meantime, a tremendous progress in disclosing the body-fluid proteomes was made, resulting in a collection of over 15 000 different proteins detected in major human body fluids. However, common challenges remain with current proteomics technologies about how to effectively handle the large variety of protein modifications in those fluids. To this end, computational effort utilizing statistical and machine-learning approaches has shown early successes in identifying biomarker proteins in specific human diseases. In this article, we first summarized the experimental progresses using a combination of conventional and high-throughput technologies, along with the major discoveries, and focused on current research status of 16 types of body-fluid proteins. Next, the emerging computational work on protein prediction based on support vector machine, ranking algorithm, and protein-protein interaction network were also surveyed, followed by algorithm and application discussion. At last, we discuss additional critical concerns about these topics and close the review by providing future perspectives especially toward the realization of clinical disease biomarker discovery.

Abstract
Microsampling techniques have been employed as an alternative to traditional serum/plasma sampling because of their inherently proven and desirable advantages across the pharmaceutical industry. These include reduced animal usage in pre-clinical studies, as well as, permitting the collection of samples that would otherwise be inaccessible in clinical studies. The application of volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS®) technology, a second-generation dried microsampling method, coupled with LC-MS, has been extensively explored for small molecule drugs at various drug development stages. However, the potential of using VAMS technology and LC-MS analysis for biological therapeutic development has yet to be well-established. In this work, we describe the method development, validation, and a proof-of-concept non-human primate study of a LC-MS/MS method for VAMS utilized to obtain pharmacokinetic (PK) data for a therapeutic monoclonal antibody. A good correlation between VAMS data and data from conventional serum samples was established in rhesus monkeys and indicated the possibility of using of this novel sampling technology in clinical studies. However, during the initial clinical study, a significant difference in internal standard (IS) response between the patient fingerstick samples and the standard/QC samples was observed, which posed a question on the accuracy of the clinical results. A comprehensive investigation confirmed that the EDTA anticoagulant used in the standard/QC samples was the root cause of the observed anomalous IS responses. Special considerations and corresponding best practices during method development and validation are proposed to ensure early detection of potential issues and appropriate implementation of VAMS technology in clinical studies in the future.

Abstract
Following the introduction of routine Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) screening in the early 1990's, Prostate Cancer (PCa) is often detected at an early stage. There are also a growing number of treatment options available and so the associated mortality rate is generally low. However, PCa is an extremely complex and heterogenous disease and many patients suffer disease recurrence following initial therapy. Disease recurrence commonly results in metastasis and metastatic PCa has an average survival rate of just 3-5 years. A significant problem in the clinical management of PCa is being able to differentiate between patients who will respond to standard therapies and those who may benefit from more aggressive intervention at an earlier stage. It is also acknowledged that for many men the disease is not life threatenting. Hence, there is a growing desire to identify patients who can be spared the significant side effects associated with PCa treatment until such time (if ever) their disease progresses to the point where treatment is required. To these important clinical needs, current biomarkers and clinical methods for patient stratification and personlised treatment are insufficient. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the complexities of PCa pathology and disease management. In this context it is possible to review current biomarkers and proteomic technologies that will support development of biomarker-driven decision tools to meet current important clinical needs.

Label-Free Multiple Reaction Monitoring, a Promising Method for Quantification Analyses of Specific Proteins in Bacteria. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21144924.

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis produces eight industrially important exo-proteases. For the detection of proteases, the activity- and antibody-based assays are normally used. Current activity-based assays require expensive multiplex chemical substrates which allow specificity determination of each enzyme. In this study, we provide evidences pertaining to the usefulness of the label-free multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) assay for a rapid identification and quantitation of specific proteins in bacteria. We used wild-type B. pumilus cells producing at least two serine proteases, subtilisin-like protease (AprBp) and glutamyl endopeptidase (GseBp), as well as optimized recombinant B. subtilis cells containing the same protease genes under control of the LIKE expression system. The Skyline software was used for the selection of three specific proteotypic peptides and their fragment ions for quantification and confirmation of AprBp and GseBp in complex mixtures. MRM indicated that the production of AprBp and GseBp exo-enzymes were respectively 0.9- and 26.6-fold higher in the culture medium of B. pumilus strain in comparison to the recombinant B. subtilis strains carrying optimized LIKE expression systems under identical conditions. The developed procedure in this study is fast, easy to perform and dependable. Additionally, it achieves accurate proteins identification and quantification in complex mixture.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for new biomarkers that address the shortcomings of current screening methods which fail to detect a large proportion of cases with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at early stage. To develop a robust, multiple-biomarker panel based on multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry with high performance in detecting early-stage HCC within at-risk populations. In the discovery set, 150 samples were analyzed to identify candidate biomarkers. The resulting list of candidates was tested in the training set (713 samples) to establish a multimarker panel, which was evaluated in the validation set (305 samples). We identified 385 serum HCC biomarker candidates in the discovery set and developed a multimarker panel consisting of 28 peptides that best differentiated HCC from controls. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of multimarker panel was significantly higher than alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in the training (0.976 vs. 0.804; P < 0.001) and validation (0.898 vs. 0.778; P < 0.001) sets. In the validation set, this multimarker panel, compared with AFP, showed significantly greater sensitivity (81.1% vs. 26.8%; P < 0.001) and lower specificity (84.8% vs. 98.8%; P < 0.001) in detecting HCC cases. Combining AFP with the multimarker panel did not significantly improve the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve compared with the panel alone in the training (0.981 vs. 0.976; P = 0.37) and validation set (0.906 vs. 0.898; P = 0.75). Conclusion: The multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry multimarker panel consisting of 28 peptides discriminates HCC cases from at-risk controls with high performance and may have potential for clinical application in HCC surveillance.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important public health problem in the world. The aim of our research was to identify novel potential serum biomarkers of renal injury. ELISA assay showed that cytokines and chemokines IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12 (p70), IL-13, IL-15, IL-17, Eotaxin, FGFb, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, PDGF-1bb, RANTES, TNF-α and VEGF were significantly higher (R > 0.6, p value < 0.05) in the serum of patients with CKD compared to healthy subjects, and they were positively correlated with well-established markers (urea and creatinine). The multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) quantification method revealed that levels of HSP90B2, AAT, IGSF22, CUL5, PKCE, APOA4, APOE, APOA1, CCDC171, CCDC43, VIL1, Antigen KI-67, NKRF, APPBP2, CAPRI and most complement system proteins were increased in serum of CKD patients compared to the healthy group. Among complement system proteins, the C8G subunit was significantly decreased three-fold in patients with CKD. However, only AAT and HSP90B2 were positively correlated with well-established markers and, therefore, could be proposed as potential biomarkers for CKD.

Abstract
Ion mobility combined with mass spectrometry (IM-MS) is a powerful technique for the analysis of biomolecules and complex mixtures. This chapter reviews the current state-of-the-art in ion mobility technology and its application to biology, protein analysis, and quantitative discovery proteomics in particular, from an analytical perspective. IM-MS can be used as a technique to separate mixtures, to determine structural information (rotationally averaged cross-sectional area) and to enhance MS duty cycle and sensitivity. Moreover, IM-MS is ideally suited for hyphenating with liquid chromatography, or other front-end separation techniques such as, GC, microcolumn LC, capillary electrophoresis, and direct analysis, including MALDI and DESI, providing an semiorthogonal layer of separation, which affords the more unambiguous and confident detection of a wide range of analytes. To illustrate these enhancements, as well as recent developments, the principle of in-line IM separation and hyphenation to orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight mass spectrometers are discussed, in addition to the enhancement of biophysical MS-based analysis using typical proteomics and related application examples.

Abstract
Objective: Plasma protein biomarkers could be an efficient alternative for population-based screening for early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC). The objective of this study was to evaluate and validate plasma proteins individually and as a signature for early detection of CRC. Methods: In a three-stage design, proteins were measured firstly by liquid chromatography/multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (LC/MRM-MS) and later by proximity extension assay (PEA) in a discovery set consisting of 96 newly diagnosed CRC cases and 94 controls free of neoplasms at screening colonoscopy. Two algorithms (one for each measurement method) were derived by Lasso regression and .632+ bootstrap based on 11 proteins that were included in both the LC/MRM-MS and PEA measurements. Additionally, another algorithm was constructed from the same eleven biomarkers plus amphireglin, the most promising protein marker in the PEA measurements that had not been available from the LC/MRM-MS measurements. Lastly the three prediction signatures were validated with PEA in independent samples of participants of screening colonoscopy (CRC (n = 56), advanced adenoma (n = 101), and participants free of neoplasm (n = 102)). Results: The same four proteins were included in all three prediction signatures; mannan binding lectin serine protease 1, osteopontin, serum paraoxonase lactonase 3 and transferrin receptor protein 1, and the third prediction signature additionally included amphiregulin. In the independent validation set from a true screening setting, the five-marker blood-based signature including AREG presented areas under the curves of 0.82 (95% CI, 0.74–0.89), 0.86 (95% CI, 0.77–0.92) and 0.76 (95% CI, 0.64–0.86) for all, early and late stages CRC, respectively. Conclusion: Two different measurement methods consistently identified four protein markers and an algorithm additionally including amphiregulin, a marker measured by PEA only, showed promising performance for detecting early stage CRC in an independent validation in a true screening setting. These proteins may be potential candidates for blood-based tests for early detection of CRC.

Abstract
Introduction: Multiple (or selected) reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (MRM/SRM) is a targeted proteomic method that can be used for relative and absolute quantification. Multiple reports exist supporting the potential of the approach in proteomic biomarker validation. Areas covered: To get an overview of the applications of MRM in protein quantification in plasma, a search in MedLine/PubMed was performed using the keywords: 'MRM/SRM plasma proteomic/proteomics/proteome'. The retrieved studies were further filtered to focus on disease biomarkers and the main results are summarized. Expert opinion: MRM is increasingly employed for the quantification of both well-established but also newly discovered putative biomarkers and occasionally their post-translationally modified forms in plasma. Fractionation is regularly required for the detection of low abundance proteins. Standardized procedures to facilitate assay establishment and marker quantification have been proposed and, in few cases, implemented. Nevertheless, in most cases, absolute quantification is not performed. To advance, multiple technical issues including the regular use of standard labeled peptides and appropriate quality controls to monitor assay performance should be considered. Additionally, clinical aspects involving careful study design to address biomarker clinical use should also be considered.

Abstract
Reproducible sample preparation remains a significant challenge in large-scale clinical research using selected reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (SRM-MS), which enables a highly sensitive multiplexed assay. Although automated liquid-handling platforms have tremendous potential for addressing this issue, the high cost of their consumables is a drawback that renders routine operation expensive. Here we evaluated the performance of a liquid-handling platform in preparing serum samples compared with a standard experiment while reducing the outlay for consumables, such as tips, wasted reagents, and reagent stock plates. A total of 26 multiplex assays were quantified by SRM-MS using four sets of 24 pooled human serum aliquots; the four sets used a fixed number (1, 4, 8, or 24) of tips to dispense digestion reagents. This study demonstrated that the use of 4 or 8 tips is comparable to 24 tips (standard experiment), as evidenced by their coefficients of variation: 13.5% (for 4 and 8 tips) versus 12.0% (24 tips). Thus we can save 37% of the total experimental cost compared with the standard experiment, maintaining nearly equivalent reproducibility. The routine operation of cost-effective liquid-handling platforms can enable researchers to process large-scale samples with high throughput, adding credibility to their findings by minimizing human error.

Abstract
While mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantification of small molecules has been successfully used for decades, targeted MS has only recently been used by the proteomics community to investigate clinical questions such as biomarker verification and validation. Targeted MS holds the promise of a paradigm shift in the quantitative determination of proteins. Nevertheless, targeted quantitative proteomics requires improvisation in making sample processing, instruments, and data analysis more accessible. In the backdrop of the genomic era reaching its zenith, certain questions arise: is the proteomic era about to come? If we are at the beginning of a new future for protein quantification, are we prepared to incorporate targeted proteomics at the benchside for basic research and at the bedside for the good of patients? Here, an overview of the knowledge required to perform targeted proteomics as well as its applications is provided. A special emphasis is placed on upcoming areas such as peptidomics, proteoform research, and mass spectrometry imaging, where the utilization of targeted proteomics is expected to bring forth new avenues. The limitations associated with the acceptance of this technique for mainstream usage are also highlighted. Also see the video abstract here https://youtu.be/mieB47B8gZw.

Measurement of the total angiotensinogen and its reduced and oxidised forms in human plasma using targeted LC-MS/MS. Anal Bioanal Chem 2019; 411:427-437.

Abstract
Angiotensinogen (AGT) is a critical protein in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and may have an important role in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia. The disulphide linkage between cysteines 18 and 138 has a key role in the redox switch of AGT which modulates the release of angiotensin I with consequential effects on blood pressure. In this paper, we report a quantitative targeted LC-MS/MS method for the reliable measurement of the total AGT and its reduced and oxidised forms in human plasma. AGT was selectively enriched from human plasma using two-dimensional chromatography employing concanavalin A lectin affinity and reversed phase steps and then deglycosylated using PNGase F. A differential alkylation approach was coupled with targeted LC-MS/MS method to identify the two AGT forms in the plasma chymotryptic digest. An additional AGT proteolytic marker peptide was identified and used to measure total AGT levels. The developed MS workflow enabled the reproducible detection of total AGT and its two distinct forms in human plasma with analytical precision of ≤ 15%. The LC-MS/MS assay for total AGT in plasma showed a linear response (R2 = 0.992) with a limit of quantification in the low nanomolar range. The method gave suitable validation characteristics for biomedical application to the quantification of the oxidation level and the total level of AGT in plasma samples collected from normal and pre-eclamptic patients.

Abstract
Selected/multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (SRM/MRM) is an analytical method that is frequently combined to the use of stable isotope-labeled standard (SIS) peptides for absolute protein quantification. The application of SRM/MRM is a relatively recent development in the proteomics field for analysis of biological samples (plasma, urine, cell/tissue lysates) targeting to a large extent biomarker validation. Although MRM generally by-passes the use of antibodies (being linked to sub-optimal assay specificity in many cases), bioanalytical validation of MRM protocols has not been robustly applied because of sensitivity issues, in contrary to antibody-based methods. In this chapter, we will discuss the points that should be addressed for MRM method development in clinical proteomics applications.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop and validate the novel microLC/MS-MRM method for the simultaneous quantification of six proteins: angiopoietin 2 (Angpt-2), soluble form of fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFLT-1), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), endocan (ESM-1), soluble form of E-selectin (sE-sel), and one peptide: adrenomedullin (ADM) in mouse plasma. Two approaches were compared: a stable isotope dilution (SID) method- used as a reference and a modified SID (mSID) procedure. In SID strategy the calibration curves were used, whereas in mSID the ratio between the chromatogram peak area of endogenous tryptic peptides at unknown concentration to chromatogram peak area of exogenous, stable isotope-labelled internal standards (SISs) added to the sample at known concentration was calculated. The microLC/MS-MRM method in the SID approach was linear from 0.250 pmol/mL to 250 pmol/mL for Angpt-2; 5 pmol/mL to 5000 pmol/mL for sFLT-1; 2.5 pmol/mL to 5000 pmol/mL for PAI-1; 0.375 pmol/mL to 250 pmol/mL for t-PA; 0.375 pmol/mL to 187.5 pmol/mL for ESM-1; 2.5 pmol/mL to 5000 pmol/mL for sE-sel and 0.375 pmol/mL to 250 pmol/mL for ADM. LPS-induced changes in plasma assessed based on SID and mSID approaches gave comparable quantitative results and featured LPS-induced dysregulation of endothelial permeability (Angpt-2, sFLT-1), glycocalyx injury (SDC-1) accompanied by a pro-thrombotic response (PAI-1). In addition, we applied microLC/MS-MRM method with mSID strategy to analyze human plasma samples from patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and demonstrated usefulness of the method to characterize endothelial function in humans. In conclusion, the microLC/MS-MRM method with mSID strategy applied for simultaneous quantification of protein biomarkers of endothelial function in plasma represents a novel targeted proteomic platform for the comprehensive evaluation of endothelial function in mice and humans.

Abstract
PURPOSE Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which autoantibodies attack the synovial membrane, causing joint inflammation. Blood tests would offer a powerful, minimally invasive method for early diagnosis of RA. However, no reliable biomarkers for RA are presently available. The aim is to develop biomarkers for RA by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)-based quantification of candidate biomarkers. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Proteomics approaches are commonly used to identify and verify disease biomarkers. For discovery of biomarkers for RA, SWATH acquisition is performed and selected candidate biomarkers are validated by MRM. Target serum proteins are compared between patients with RA and healthy controls divided into three groups based on rheumatoid factor level. RESULTS A total of 45 differentially expressed proteins are identified, as determined by SWATH acquisition. Of these, 13 proteins are selected as novel candidate biomarkers. A total of five proteins (transthyretin, gelsolin, angiotensinogen, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, and protein S100-A9) are shown to have the potential to distinguish patients with RA from healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE These five proteins may improve the efficiency of diagnosis of RA. MRM can be used to easily diagnose RA by detecting five proteins simultaneously in a single sample with high sensitivity.

Abstract
Over the past decade, chemical labeling with isobaric tandem mass tags, such as isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification reagents (iTRAQ) and tandem mass tag (TMT) reagents, has been employed in a wide range of different clinically orientated serum and plasma proteomics studies. In this review the scope of these works is presented with attention to the areas of research, methods employed and performance limitations. These applications have covered a wide range of diseases, disorders and infections, and have implemented a variety of different preparative and mass spectrometric approaches. In contrast to earlier works, which struggled to quantify more than a few hundred proteins, increasingly these studies have provided deeper insight into the plasma proteome extending the numbers of quantified proteins to over a thousand.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mass spectrometry is selective and sensitive, permitting routine quantification of multiple plasma proteins. However, commonly used nanoflow liquid chromatography (LC) approaches hamper sample throughput, reproducibility, and robustness. For this reason, most publications using plasma proteomics to date are small in study size. METHODS AND RESULTS Here, we tested a standard-flow LC mass spectrometry (MS) method using multiple reaction monitoring for the application to large epidemiological cohorts. We have reduced the LC-MS run time to almost a third of the nanoflow LC-MS approach. On the basis of a comparison of the quantification of 100 plasma proteins in >1500 LC-MS runs, the SD range of the retention time during continuous operation was substantially lower with the standard-flow LC-MS (<0.05 minutes) compared with the nanoflow LC-MS method (0.26-0.44 minutes). In addition, the standard-flow LC method also offered less variation in protein measurements. However, 5× more sample volume was required to achieve similar sensitivity. Two different commercial multiple reaction monitoring kits and an antibody-based multiplexing kit were used to compare the apolipoprotein measurements in a subset of samples. In general, good agreement was observed between the 2 multiple reaction monitoring kits, but some of the multiple reaction monitoring-based measurements differed from antibody-based assays. CONCLUSIONS The multiplexing capability of LC-MS combined with a standard-flow method increases throughput and reduces the costs of large-scale protein measurements in epidemiological cohorts, but protein rather than peptide standards will be required for defined absolute proteoform quantification.

Abstract
Clinical proteomics, the application of proteome analysis to serve a clinical purpose, represents a major field in the area of proteome research. Over 1000 manuscripts on this topic are published each year, with numbers continuously increasing. However, the anticipated outcome, the transformation of the reported findings into improvements in patient management, is not immediately evident. In this article, the value and validity of selected clinical proteomics findings are investigated, and it is assessed how far implementation has progressed. A main conclusion from this assessment is that to achieve implementation, well-powered clinical studies are required in the appropriate population, addressing a specific clinical need and with a clear context-of-use. Efforts toward implementation, to be feasible, must be supported by the key players in science: publishers and funders. The authors propose a change on objectives, from additional discovery studies toward studies aiming at validation of the plethora of potential biomarkers that have been described, to demonstrate practical value of clinical proteomics. All elements required, potential biomarkers, technologies, and bio-banked samples are available (based on today's literature), hence a change in focus from discovery toward validation and application is not only urgently necessary, but also possible based on resources available today.

Abstract
Background: Current syphilis diagnostic strategies are lacking a sensitive manner of directly detecting
Treponema pallidum antigens. A diagnostic test that could directly detect
T. pallidum antigens in individuals with syphilis would be of considerable clinical utility, especially for the diagnosis of reinfections and for post-treatment serological follow-up. Methods: In this study, 11 candidate
T. pallidum biomarker proteins were chosen according to their physiochemical characteristics,
T. pallidum specificity and predicted abundance. Thirty isotopically labelled proteotypic surrogate peptides (hPTPs) were synthesized and incorporated into a scheduled multiple reaction monitoring assay. Protein extracts from undepleted/unenriched plasma (N = 18) and urine (N = 4) samples from 18 individuals with syphilis in various clinical stages were tryptically digested, spiked with the hPTP mixture and analysed with a triple quadruple mass spectrometer. Results: No endogenous PTPs corresponding to the eleven candidate biomarkers were detected in any samples analysed. To estimate the Limit of Detection (LOD) of a comparably sensitive mass spectrometer (LTQ-Orbitrap), two dilution series of rabbit cultured purified
T. pallidum were prepared in PBS. Polyclonal anti-
T. pallidum antibodies coupled to magnetic Dynabeads were used to enrich one sample series; no LOD improvement was found compared to the unenriched series. The estimated LOD of MS instruments is 300
T. pallidum/ml in PBS. Conclusions: Biomarker protein detection likely failed due to the low (femtomoles/liter) predicted concentration of
T. pallidum proteins. Alternative sample preparation strategies may improve the detectability of
T. pallidum proteins in biofluids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by damage to the intestinal mucosa and nutrient malabsorption in severe cases. However, it remains unclear whether nutrient deficiencies and other adverse health effects are prevalent in individuals with positive CD serology identified through screening studies. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine whether biomarkers of cardiometabolic health and nutritional status differ between those with positive and negative CD serology identified in a screening study of Canadian adults. METHODS Participants ( n=2832) were from the Toronto Nutrigenomics and Health Study and the Toronto Healthy Diet Study. Individuals were screened for CD-specific anti-tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies. Lipid profiles as well as concentrations of six carotenoids (α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein, lycopene, and zeaxanthin), three tocopherols (α-tocopherol, δ-tocopherol, and γ-tocopherol), retinol, ascorbic acid, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D were cross-sectionally compared between those with positive and negative CD serology using general linear mixed models. RESULTS Individuals with positive CD serology ( n=23) had significantly lower levels of HDL-cholesterol ( p=0.008) and apolipoprotein-AI ( p=0.02), a higher ratio of total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ( p=0.006), and a higher apolipoprotein-B/AI ratio ( p=0.03) than those with negative CD serology. Positive CD serology was also associated with significantly lower concentrations of retinol ( p=0.006) in fully adjusted models. Those with positive CD serology had lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D in unadjusted models ( p=0.01), but not in fully adjusted models ( p=0.08). CONCLUSIONS Individuals with undiagnosed CD may have unfavorable lipid profiles and be at elevated risk for inadequacy of certain fat-soluble vitamins, but not widespread nutrient deficiencies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Targeted proteomics using MRM with stable-isotope-labeled internal-standard (SIS) peptides is the current method of choice for protein quantitation in complex biological matrices. Better quantitation can be achieved with the internal standard-addition method, where successive increments of synthesized natural form (NAT) of the endogenous analyte are added to each sample, a response curve is generated, and the endogenous concentration is determined at the x-intercept. Internal NAT-addition, however, requires multiple analyses of each sample, resulting in increased sample consumption and analysis time. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN To compare the following three methods, an MRM assay for 34 high-to-moderate abundance human plasma proteins is used: classical internal SIS-addition, internal NAT-addition, and external NAT-addition-generated in buffer using NAT and SIS peptides. Using endogenous-free chicken plasma, the accuracy is also evaluated. RESULTS The internal NAT-addition outperforms the other two in precision and accuracy. However, the curves derived by internal vs. external NAT-addition differ by only ≈3.8% in slope, providing comparable accuracies and precision with good CV values. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE While the internal NAT-addition method may be "ideal", this new external NAT-addition can be used to determine the concentration of high-to-moderate abundance endogenous plasma proteins, providing a robust and cost-effective alternative for clinical analyses or other high-throughput applications.

A targeted proteomic assay for the measurement of plasma proteoforms related to human aging phenotypes. Proteomics 2018; 17.

Abstract
Circulating polypeptides and proteins have been implicated in reversing or accelerating aging phenotypes, including growth/differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), GDF11, eotaxin, and oxytocin. These proteoforms, which are defined as the protein products arising from a single gene due to alternative splicing and PTMs, have been challenging to study. Both GDF8 and GDF11 have known antagonists such as follistatin (FST), and WAP, Kazal, immunoglobulin, Kunitz, and NTR domain-containing proteins 1 and 2 (WFIKKN1, WFIKKN2). We developed a novel multiplexed SRM assay using LC-MS/MS to measure five proteins related to GDF8 and GDF11 signaling, and in addition, eotaxin, and oxytocin. Eighteen peptides consisting of 54 transitions were monitored and validated in pooled human plasma. In 24 adults, the mean (SD) concentrations (ng/mL) were as follows: GDF8 propeptide, 11.0 (2.4); GDF8 mature protein, 25.7 (8.0); GDF11 propeptide, 21.3 (10.9); GDF11 mature protein, 16.5 (12.4); FST, 29.8 (7.1); FST cleavage form FST303, 96.4 (69.2); WFIKKN1, 38.3 (8.3); WFIKKN2, 32.2 (10.5); oxytocin, 1.9 (0.9); and eotaxin, 2.3 (0.5). This novel multiplexed SRM assay should facilitate the study of the relationships of these proteoforms with major aging phenotypes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Saliva is an attractive sample source for the biomarker-based testing of several diseases, especially oral cancer. Here, we sought to apply multiplexed LC-MRM-MS to precisely quantify 90 disease-related proteins and assess their intra- and interindividual variability in saliva samples from healthy donors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We developed two multiplexed LC-MRM-MS assays for 122 surrogate peptides representing a set of disease-related proteins. Saliva samples were collected from 10 healthy volunteers at three different time points (Day 1 morning and afternoon, and Day 2 morning). Each sample was spiked with a constant amount of a 15 N-labeled protein and analyzed by MRM-MS in triplicate. Quantitative results from LC-MRM-MS were calculated by single-point quantification with reference to a known amount of internal standard (heavy peptide). RESULTS The CVs for assay reproducibility and technical variation were 13 and 11%, respectively. The average concentrations of the 99 successfully quantified proteins ranged from 0.28 ± 0.58 ng mL-1 for profilin-2 (PFN2) to 8.55 ±8.96 μg mL-1 for calprotectin (S100A8). For the 90 proteins detectable in >50% of samples, the average CVs for intraday, interday, intraindividual, and interindividual samples were 38%, 43%, 45%, and 69%, respectively. The fluctuations of most target proteins in individual subjects were found to be within ± twofold. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Our study elucidated the intra- and interindividual variability of 90 disease-related proteins in saliva samples from healthy donors. The findings may facilitate the further development of salivary biomarkers for oral and systemic diseases.
