Comparison of Label and Label-free Quantitative Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Protein Biomarker Discovery

Abstract Details

2010, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Chemistry.
Mass spectrometry-based protein quantification approaches are powerful tools for biomarker discovery. In this thesis, a spectral counting-based label-free analysis platform and tandem mass tag isobaric labeling quantification platform are described and evaluated for detecting differential protein abundances of an in vivo system in response to UV radiation. Sample preparation and separation of global protein digests were optimized for both label-free and labeling methods. Statistical evaluations such as principal component analysis and Venn diagram were used to evaluate the reproducibility of the analytical system. For spectral counting analysis, a few different normalization and modification methods such as ratioing of normalized spectral counting, normalized spectral abundance factors, and spectral index were applied and the results were compared. Correlations of the results from spectral counting and tandem mass tags labeling were also carried out. Potential protein biomarkers related to DNA damage repair in the in vivo system are proposed based on both labeling and label-free approaches.
