Global Quantification of Glutathione S-Transferases in Human Serum Using LC-MS/MS Coupled with Affinity Enrichment.
Journal of Proteome Research 2022 March 31
The members of the glutathione S-transferase (GST) superfamily often exhibit functional overlap and can compensate for each other. Their concentrations in serum are considered as disease biomarkers. A global and quantitative evaluation of serum GSTs is therefore urgent, but there is a lack of efficient approaches due to technological limitations. GSH magnetic beads were examined for their affinity to enrich GSTs in serum, and the enriched GSTs were quantitatively targeted using a Q Exactive HF-X mass spectrometer in parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) mode. To optimize the quantification of GST peptides, sample types, trypsin digestion, and serum loading were carefully assessed; a biosynthetic method was employed to generate isotope-labeled GST peptides, and instrumental parameters were systematically optimized. A total of 134 clinical sera were collected for GST quantification from healthy donors and patients with four liver diseases. Using the new approach, GSTs in healthy sera were profiled: 14 GST peptides were quantified, and the abundance of five GST families was ranked GSTM > GSTP > GSTA > MGST1 > GSTT1, ranging from 0.1 to 4 pmol/L. Furthermore, combining the abundance of multiple GST peptides could effectively distinguish different types of liver diseases. Quantification of serum GSTs through targeted proteomics, therefore, has apparent clinical potential for disease diagnosis.
