Sažetak
Serum proteome is an invaluable source of prognostic and diagnostic disease biomarkers. However, due to its complexity and wide dynamic range, serum proteomics presents a major analytical challenge. The objective of our study was to determine the optimal pretreatment strategy for canine serum samples derived from healthy and Babesia-infected dogs that yields the most effective results in terms of quantifiable proteins using tandem mass tag (TMT)-based shotgun proteomics. We compared non-depleted to albumin depleted, combined albumin and IgG depleted and ProteoMiner treated serum samples. Protein identities and TMT-based relative quantification data were obtained using Proteome Discoverer mining Canis lupus familiaris NCBI fasta files for at least 2 unique peptides and 5% FDR. Bioinformatic analysis was performed using Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). The greatest number of quantifiable proteins was identified after ProteoMiner pretreatment (317), 27% more compared to non-depleted samples (247). Albumin and combined albumin and IgG depletion resulted in lower number of identified proteins (234 and 223, respectively) compared to non-depleted serum sample. Apparently, the effect of depletion was weakened due to non-specific binding and co-precipitation of serum proteins during the depletion procedure. To test the best pretreatment strategy, six samples (healthy versus Babesia-infected canine serum) were analyzed before and after ProteoMiner treatment. Obtained results showed that ProteoMiner treatment enabled identification of 48 significantly deregulated proteins (p<0.05) present at 1.4-fold or greater concentrations (as well as 0.6-fold or lower), whereas the number of significantly deregulated proteins in non-treated samples reached 30. Subsequent functional annotation and pathway analyses of deregulated proteins indicate that the protein abundance equalization using ProteoMiner in combination with TMT-based shotgun proteomic analysis has an advantage of detection and quantification of low abundant proteins involved in different pathophysiological processes that occur in canine babesiosis and can be applied for identification of potential biomarkers of this parasitic disease.
