Mechanical disruption of pancreatic tissue was performed using a Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer, in the presence of 7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 4% CHAPS, 40 mM DTT and protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Diagnostics). Individual sample homogenates were centrifuged for 5 min at 10000 g and cleared supernatans stored at −80 °C until further processing. Total protein was determined using a colorimetric method. After protein precipitation, 10 μg/sample was digested using a 1:25 trypsin:sample ratio, according to a method previously described [19 (link)]. After digestion, samples were desalted using ZipTip (Merck) according to manufacturer instructions.
Targeted nanoLC-MS/MS analyses were performed on a 1D Plus nanoLC Ultra system (Eksigent, Dublin, CA, USA) interfaced to a Sciex 5500 QTRAP triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Sciex, Framingham, MA, USA) equipped with a nano-ESI source and controlled by Analyst v.1.5.2. software (ABSciex), according to Mora MI et al. [20 (link)].

Samples were previously quantified by microBCA analysis (Pierce) and similar amounts (5 µg per sample) were individually dissolved in 8 M urea, 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate, reduced with DTT, and alkylated with iodoacetamide, according to a method described by López-Ferrer et al. (2004) (link). Digested samples were diluted with 0.2% trifluoroacetic acid in water and subjected to multiple reaction monitoring analysis using a 1D Plus nanoLC Ultra system (Eksigent, Dublin, CA, USA) interfaced to a Sciex 5500 QTRAP triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Sciex, Framingham, MA, USA) equipped with a nano-electrospray ionization source and controlled by Analyst v.1.5.2. software (ABSciex). Trypsin-digested samples were loaded online on a C18 PepMap 300 µm internal diameter × 5 mm trapping column (5 µm, 100 Å, Thermo Scientific) and separated using a BioSphere C18 75 µm internal diameter × 150 mm capillary column (3 µm, 120 Å, Nanoseparations). A list of 84 transitions (usually 3–4 per peptide, with a preference toward higher-mass y series ions), corresponding to 21 unique peptides selected for 10 different proteins, was monitored. Skyline software determined automatically the collision energy values for the candidate peptides according to MacLean et al. (2010) (link).

1 µg of peptides was injected on a 6600 Sciex TripleTOF mass spectrometer interfaced with an Eksigent NanoLC Ultra 1D Plus system. The peptides were separated on a 75-µm-diameter, 20-cm-long new Objective emitter packed with Magic C18 AQ 3 µm resin (Michrom BioResources) and eluted at 300 nl/min with a linear gradient of 2–30% Buffer B for 60 min (Buffer B: 98% ACN, 0.1% FA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
