コペンハーゲン大学の研究チームは、がん治療薬が細胞に与える影響を分子レベルで解析し、治療効果の個人差の一因を明らかにしました。研究では、がん細胞に薬剤を投与した後のタンパク質の構造変化や細胞内シグナル伝達の変化を詳細に観察。その結果、同じ薬剤でも患者ごとに異なる分子反応が起こることが確認され、これが治療効果の差異につながる可能性が示されました。この知見は、個々の患者に最適な治療法を選択する個別化医療の発展に寄与すると期待されています。

Highlights

  • SC-pSILAC enables protein turnover and abundance measurements in single cells
  • SC-pSILAC highlights treatment-related effects of protein-turnover-altering drugs
  • Protein turnover underscores functional differences during stem cell differentiation
  • Histone turnover distinguishes dividing from slow/non-dividing cells

Summary

Single-cell proteomics (SCPs) has advanced significantly, yet it remains largely unidimensional, focusing primarily on protein abundances. In this study, we employed a pulsed stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (pSILAC) approach to simultaneously analyze protein abundance and turnover in single cells (SC-pSILAC). Using a state-of-the-art SCP workflow, we demonstrated that two SILAC labels are detectable from ∼4,000 proteins in single HeLa cells recapitulating known biology. We performed a large-scale time-series SC-pSILAC analysis of undirected differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) encompassing 6 sampling times over 2 months and analyzed >1,000 cells. Protein turnover dynamics highlighted differentiation-specific co-regulation of protein complexes with core histone turnover, discriminating dividing and non-dividing cells. Lastly, correlating cell diameter with the abundance of individual proteins showed that histones and some cell-cycle proteins do not scale with cell size. The SC-pSILAC method provides a multidimensional view of protein dynamics in single-cell biology.
