Global analysis of protein turnover dynamics in single cells
Open accessPreprint — published as 10.1016/j.cell.2025.03.002 · Paper page
Abstract
Even with recent improvements in sample preparation and instrumentation, single-cell proteomics (SCP) analyses mostly measure protein abundances, making the field unidimensional. In this study, we employ a pulsed stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) approach to simultaneously evaluate protein abundance and turnover in single cells (SC-pSILAC). Using state-of-the-art SCP workflow, we demonstrated that two SILAC labels are detectable from ∼4000 proteins in single HeLa cells recapitulating known biology. We investigated drug effects on global and specific protein turnover in single cells and performed a large-scale time-series SC-pSILAC analysis of undirected differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) encompassing six sampling times over two months and analyzed >1000 cells. Abundance measurements highlighted cell-specific markers of stem cells and various organ-specific cell types. Protein turnover dynamics highlighted differentiation-specific co-regulation of core members of protein complexes with core histone turnover discriminating dividing and non-dividing cells with potential in stem cell and cancer research. Our study represents the most comprehensive SCP analysis to date, offering new insights into cellular diversity and pioneering functional measurements beyond protein abundance. This method distinguishes SCP from other single-cell omics approaches and enhances its scientific relevance in biological research in a multidimensional manner.

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.
