Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomics provides unbiased quantification of all proteins in plasma, which can dynamically reflect individual health states in real time. However, large-scale proteomics studies are constrained by the excessive dynamic range of plasma proteome and low throughput. Herein, two kinds of magnetic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) modified with ion exchange functional groups (denoted as MHP-UiO-66-SAX and MHP-HKUST-1-SCX) were designed and fabricated to exhibit large protein adsorption capability, which were combined with an automated Liquid-handling System, thus realizing in-depth, high-throughput and automated proteomics studies. The constructed workflow could automatically complete the sample preparation before MS within only six hours and nearly a thousand protein groups per sample could be quantified. In the cohort study of nearly one hundred breast cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC) plasma samples, two differentially expressed proteins previously reported as biomarkers were related with the pathological complete response (PCR) of the breast cancer, demonstrating the feasibility of the developed technology for preparing large-scale clinical samples and exhibiting the potential application in monitoring the effect of chemotherapy.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography A provides a forum for the publication of original research and critical reviews on all aspects of fundamental and applied separation science. The scope of the journal includes chromatography and related techniques, electromigration techniques (e.g. electrophoresis, electrochromatography), hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, sample preparation, and detection methods such as mass spectrometry. Contributions consist mainly of research papers dealing with the theory of separation methods, instrumental developments and analytical and preparative applications of general interest.
