In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract

The proteome is determined by rates of transcription, translation and protein turnover. Definition of stem cell populations therefore requires a stem cell proteome signature. However, the limit to the number of primary cells available has restricted extensive proteomic analysis. We present a mass spectrometric method using an isobaric covalent modification of peptides for relative quantification (iTRAQ) which was employed to compare the proteomes of approximately 1 million long term reconstituting hematopoietic stem cells (Lin-Sca+Kit+; LSK+) and non-long term reconstituting progenitor cells (Lin-Sca+Kit-; LSK-) respectively. Extensive 2-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC) peptide separation prior to mass spectrometry (MS) enabled enhanced proteome coverage with relative quantification of 948 proteins. Of the 145 changes in the proteome 54% were not seen in the transcriptome. Hypoxia-related changes in proteins controlling metabolism and oxidative protection were observed, indicating LSK+ cells are adapted for anaerobic environments. This approach can define proteomic changes in primary samples thereby characterising the molecular signature of stem cells and their progeny.
