12:15 - 12:45 pm - Single-Cell Proteomics: Recent Developments and Near-Term Prospects

Abstract: Biological tissues are highly heterogeneous, consisting of a variety of cell types, states and subpopulations, and understanding heterogeneity at the single cell level is of great interest for biomedical research. We have developed strategies to minimize sample losses normally incurred during sample processing. In combination ultra-low-flow separations and latest-generation mass spectrometry instrumentation, we now achieve in-depth proteome coverage for low-input samples including single cells. To date, we can quantify >3000 proteins from single mammalian cells and achieve similar coverage for frozen and FFPE tissue squares as small as 50 µm. I will describe advances in cell isolation, sample preparation, ultrasensitive separations, MS acquisition and data analysis that have made this possible, as well as efforts to minimize or eliminate the need for custom instrumentation for such analyses. Finally, prospects for further dramatically improving the measurement throughput, depth of proteome coverage and quantitative accuracy for single-cell and other low-input proteomics studies will be discussed.
