Abstract

The rapid increase in the prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) worldwide underscores an urgent need to identify biomarkers for the early detection of CHF. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are associated with many critical signaling events during disease progression and thus offer a plethora of candidate biomarkers. We have employed a top-down quantitative proteomics methodology for comprehensive assessment of PTMs in whole proteins extracted from normal and diseased tissues. We systematically analyzed 36 clinical human heart tissue samples and identified phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) as a candidate biomarker for CHF. The relative percentages of the total phosphorylated cTnI forms over the entire cTnI populations (%P(total)) were 56.4 ± 3.5%, 36.9 ± 1.6%, 6.1 ± 2.4%, and 1.0 ± 0.6% for postmortem hearts with normal cardiac function (n = 7), early stage of mild hypertrophy (n = 5), severe hypertrophy/dilation (n = 4), and end-stage CHF (n = 6), respectively. In fresh transplant samples, the %P(total) of cTnI from nonfailing donor (n = 4), and end-stage failing hearts (n = 10) were 49.5 ± 5.9% and 18.8 ± 2.9%, respectively. Top-down MS with electron capture dissociation unequivocally localized the altered phosphorylation sites to Ser22/23 and determined the order of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. This study represents the first clinical application of top-down MS-based quantitative proteomics for biomarker discovery from tissues, highlighting the potential of PTMs as disease biomarkers.

  • Tiambeng and Roberts led development of a nanoproteomics strategy using functionalized magnetic nanoparticles with a peptide affinity ligand to specifically target cardiac troponin I.

    “To address the limitation of the antibody-based approach, Tiambeng and Roberts led the development of a nanoproteomics strategy using functionalized magnetic NPs with a peptide affinity ligand to specifically target cardiac troponin I (cTnI) [65–67], an important and gold-standard cardiac biomarker [68].”
  • Decreased cTnI phosphorylation was found in hearts with increased chronic heart failure.

    “Additionally, decreased level of cTnI phosphorylation was found in hearts with increased chronic heart failure [61]”
  • In the heart, protein isoform switching and PTMs regulate cardiac contraction and relaxation and contribute to heart failure progression.

    “For example, in the heart, protein isoform switching [141], and PTMs are known to regulate cardiac contraction and relaxation, as well as play a role in the progression of heart failure [61,142,143].”
  • The PTM profiles of cTnI can function as molecular fingerprints of cellular signaling pathway activity with the potential to serve as next-generation biomarkers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
