Peptides were labeled with tandem-mass tag (TMT) isobaric labels (TMTpro 16plex™ Isobaric Label Reagent Set, Lot UL296296, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Ten micrograms of each sample were aliquoted into a final volume of 100 µL of 100 mM TEAB, and peptides were labeled according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Multiplexed samples were fractionated by high pH reversed-phase chromatography (1260 Infinity II, Agilent Technologies) as previously described [23 (link)]. Each multiplex contained a TMT channel of pooled samples specific for a given brain region, a channel of pooled samples representing all the brain regions and 14 channels corresponding to 14 individual patient samples. Twenty-four concatenated fractions were generated for global LC-MS/MS analysis.
