Picoliter Single-Cell Reactor for Proteome Profiling by In Situ Cell Lysis, Protein Immobilization, Digestion, and Droplet Transfer
Global profiling of single-cell proteomes can reveal cellular heterogeneity, thus benefiting precision medicine. However, current mass spectrometry (MS)-based single-cell proteomic sample processing still faces technical challenges associated with processing efficiency and protein recovery. Herein, we present an innovative sample processing platform based on a picoliter single-cell reactor (picoSCR) for single-cell proteome profiling, which involves in situ protein immobilization and sample transfer. PicoSCR helped minimize surface adsorptive losses by downscaling the processing volume to 400 pL with a contact area of less than 0.4 mm2. Besides, picoSCR reached highly efficient cell lysis and digestion within 30 min, benefiting from optimal reagent and high reactant concentrations. Using the picoSCR-nanoLC-MS system, over 1400 proteins were identified from an individual HeLa cell using data-dependent acquisition mode. Proteins with copy number below 1000 were identified, demonstrating this system with a detection limit of 1.7 zmol. Furthermore, we profiled the proteome of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD051468. Proteins associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition and neutrophil extracellular traps formation (which are both related to tumor metastasis) were observed in all CTCs. The cellular heterogeneity was revealed by differences in signaling pathways within individual cells. These results highlighted the potential of the picoSCR platform to help discover new biomarkers and explore differences in biological processes between cells.
