In this study, we investigated the immunopeptidome landscape across a panel of isogenic HAP1 cell line clones each with a knock-out of a single gene encoding a key protein in the APPM, including B2M, TAP1, TAP2, TAPBP, IRF2, PDIA3, ERAP1, GANAB, SPPL3, CANX, and CALR. We applied immunopeptidomic and proteomic to assess the successful gene knock-outs on the protein level, to understand how these proteins participate in antigen presentation, and to contextualize protein expression and antigen presentation. We validated the absence of the knocked-out proteins in the respective samples and found that knocking-out an APPM component leads to the loss of peptide subsets that are normally presented on the control wild type cells. We assessed the immunopeptidomes qualitatively and quantitatively, considering factors like peptide diversity, peptide length distribution, and binding affinity to the endogenously expressed HLA alleles in HAP1 cells. We demonstrated a prominent HLA allele-specific alterations in several knock-out conditions. The absence of CALR, CANX, and TAP1 led to significant changes in HLA allele-specific presentation levels. Overall, this work represents the first systematic analysis of how the absence of individual APPM components, knocked out in a single cell line under controlled conditions, affects the peptidome.

Dysregulation of the ECM is implicated in many diseases, underscoring the need to characterize the matrisome to better understand disease mechanisms. We have previously developed a dual-step protocol enabled by the photocleavable surfactant Azo for the extraction of ECM proteins from tissue using pH-neutral decellularization followed by solubilization by Azo. While effective for characterization of the ECM proteins, such a dual-step protocol requires two extracts per sample, limiting the throughput and complicating the comparison of protein quantitation across different extraction conditions. Here, we develop a single-step Azo-enabled protein extraction for the solubilization of ECM proteins from lung tissue to improve the throughput for studies with large sample sizes. Using this method, we identified 324 ECM proteins, including 137 core ECM and 187 ECM associated proteins. Core ECM proteins including elastin, fibronectin, and fibrillar collagens were reproducibly identified and quantified. We observed a 94.6% overlap in the ECM proteins identified between the single-step and dual-step Azo extracts, indicating the single-step Azo extraction achieves ECM protein coverage comparable to the dual-step extraction.

Also, the resulting acidic microenvironment causes inactivation of the immune system such as T-cell impairment that favors escape by immune surveillance. While lots of studies have revealed that tumor-derived EVs can deliver parental materials to adjacent cells and contribute to oncogenic reprogramming, their functionality in energy metabolism is not well addressed. In this study, we established prostate cancer cells PC3-AcT resistant to cellular death in an acidic culture medium driven by lactic acid. Quantitative proteomics between EVs derived from PC-3 and PC-3AcT cells identified 935 confident EV proteins. According to cellular adaptation to lactic acidosis, we revealed 159 regulated EV proteins related to energy metabolism, cellular shape, and extracellular matrix. These EVs contained a high abundance of glycolytic enzymes. In particular, PC-3AcT EVs were enriched with apolipoproteins including apolipoprotein B100 (APOB). APOB on PC-3AcT EVs could facilitate their endocytic uptake depending on low density lipoprotein receptor of recipient PC-3 cells, encouraging increases of cellular proliferation and survival in acidic culture media via increased activity and expression of hexokinases and phosphofructokinase. The activation of recipient PC-3 cells can increase glucose consumption and ATP generation, representing an acquired metabolic reprogramming into the Warburg phenotype.

However, the role of NHS esters as activated carboxyls can also drive the formation of serine-, tyrosine-, and threonine-derived esters (O-derivatives). These O-derivative peptides are typically classed as overlabeled and are disregarded for quantitation, leading to loss of information and hence potential sensitivity. Their presence also unnecessarily increases sample complexity, which reduces the overall identification rates. One common approach for removing these unwanted labeling events has involved treatment with hydroxylamine. We show here that this approach is not efficient and can still leave substantial levels of unwanted overlabeled peptides. Through systematic study of nucleophilic aminolysis reagents and reaction conditions, we have now developed a robust method to efficiently remove overlabeled peptides.
