Zusammenfassung: | One of the most important advantages of mass spectrometry is the ability to quantify proteins and their modifications in parallel to obtain a holistic picture of the protein of interest. Here, we present a hybrid immunoaffinity targeted mass spectrometry (MS) method that combines efficient pan-antibody enrichment of a specific protein from plasma with the selectivity of high-resolution targeted MS analysis to quantitate specific proteoforms of interest. We used this approach to quantify plasma levels of the chemokine CXCL10 that has been associated with many immunological disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus and primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS). The hybrid approach enabled sensitive, specific, and simultaneous quantification of total, full-length (active) CXCL10
and DPP4-truncated (inactive) CXCL10
in human plasma down to the low pg/mL level, reaching ELISA sensitivities. Samples from 30 control subjects and 34 pSS patients (
= 64) were analyzed. The ratio of CXCL10
to truncated CXCL10
was significantly increased in patients with pSS and provided the highest correlation with pSS disease activity. Therefore, this CXCL10 proteoform ratio represents an interesting exploratory disease activity biomarker to further investigate. As this strategy can be readily adapted to other plasma proteins and proteoforms of interest, we are convinced that it will lead to a more detailed understanding of proteoforms in physiology and pathology yielding more relevant biomarkers and drug targets. |
