Title: Quantitative Proteome Analysis of Breast Cancer Cell Lines using 18O-Labeling and an Accurate Mass and Time Tag Strategy

Journal Article · · Proteomics, 6(9):2903-2915

Proteome comparison of cell lines derived from breast cancer and normal breast epithelium provide opportunities to identify differentially expressed proteins and pathways associated with specific phenotypes. We employed trypsin-catalyzed 16O/18O peptide labeling, FTI-CR mass spectrometry, and the accurate mass and time (AMT) tag strategy to calculate compare the relative protein abundances of hundreds of proteins simultaneously in non-cancer and cancer cell lines derived from breast tissue. A reference panel of cell lines was created to facilitate comparisons of relative protein abundance amongst multiple cell lines and across multiple experiments. A peptide database generated from multidimensional LC separations and MS/MS analysis was used to facilitate subsequent AMT tag-based peptide identifications. This peptide database represented a total of 2,299 proteins, including 514 that were quantified using the AMT tag and 16O/18O strategies. Eighty-six proteins showed at least a 3-fold protein abundance change between cancer and non-cancer cell lines. A comparison of protein expression profiles with previously published gene expression data revealed that 21 of these proteins also had >3-fold differences between the non-cancer and cancer cell lines at the transcriptional level. Clustering of protein abundance ratios revealed that several groups of proteins were differentially expressed between the cancer cell lines
