3M-Filter: Rapid and Integrated Methanol-Mediated Multi-Omics Sample Preparation via Filter

  • 摘要: 高质量多组学数据的生成对样本制备技术的严谨性与可靠性提出了极高要求。然而,当前该领域仍缺乏可同时兼顾高效、快速与稳定的多组学样品并行制备策略。本研究开发了甲醇介导的多膜集成过滤装置用于蛋白质组与代谢组样品并行快速制备(3M-Filter)的策略,该方法处理细胞样品无需借助超声裂解辅助,不仅缩短了额外的处理时间,而且避免了下游污染。凝胶电泳实验证明,3M-Filter适用于细胞、组织及体液等多种类型样品的蛋白质捕获及代谢物小分子的同步提取。以HeLa细胞为模式样本,在相同蛋白质起始量下,3M-Filter在蛋白质和多肽的鉴定深度、重复性、定量准确性、酶切效率及处理速度等方面均优于溶液酶切、过滤器辅助样品制备(FASP)和单管固相增强样品制备(SP3),且适用于低至5 000个细胞的微量样品。与基于裂解液的蛋白质提取方法相比,3M-Filter在蛋白质与多肽的鉴定数量上更具优势,且定量精度更高,同时显著降低了氧化副反应修饰的发生率。3M-Filter的关键优势是可在支持深度细胞蛋白质组分析的同时,实现对细胞小分子代谢物的高覆盖检测(超过2 000个谱图特征)。综上,3M-Filter适用于珍贵临床样本的多组学样品制备,为大规模队列分析提供了新的样品制备方案。

     

    Abstract: High-quality multi-omics data generation for comprehensive molecular characterization demands stringent standards of robustness, reproducibility and time-efficiency in sample-preparation workflows. However, current mainstream methodologies in proteomics and metabolomics sample processing frequently compromise analytical depth to accelerate throughput, or necessitate discrete and independent pipelines for proteome and metabolome extraction, which critically limits the parallel multi-omics processing of scarce, low-input or clinically precious biological samples. To address this long-standing technical gap and develop an integrated sample preparation strategy, a methanol-mediated, multi-membrane integrated filtration device for the rapid parallel preparation of proteome and metabolome samples, named methanol-mediated multi-omics via filter (3M-Filter), was developed in this study. The core 3M-Filter workflow relies on methanol-induced protein precipitation and immobilization on stacked functional membrane layers, while simultaneously enabling efficient solvent-phase collection of unbound small-molecule metabolites. This innovative design obviates the need for ultrasonic cell lysis, thus not only reducing total sample processing time but also mitigating the risk of exogenous contamination in downstream analyses. Systematic validation experiments, including sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), were conducted to verify the consistent performance of 3M-Filter in efficient protein capture and synchronous metabolite recovery from heterogeneous biological matrices, including cultured cells, solid tissues and biofluids. Further benchmark evaluations were conducted using HeLa cells as the model sample with identical initial protein inputs, in direct comparison with three mainstream sample preparation methods of traditional in-solution digestion, filter-aided sample preparation (FASP), and single-pot solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP3). This study demonstrated that 3M-Filter achieved a superior depth of protein and peptide identifications, enhanced reproducibility across technical replicates, higher quantitative accuracy, and improved tryptic digestion efficiency compared with all three comparator workflows. Additionally, the 3M-Filter strategy exhibited exceptional throughput advantages and maintained stable analytical performance for ultra-low-input samples containing as few as 5 000 cells. Compared with conventional lysis-buffer-based protein extraction protocols, 3M-Filter yielded significantly increased numbers of identified proteins and peptides with elevated quantitative precision, while remarkably suppressing the incidence of oxidative side-chain modifications in proteins and peptides. A pivotal merit of 3M-Filter is its unique capacity to support deep-coverage cellular proteome analysis while concurrently enabling high-coverage detection of endogenous small-molecule metabolites, generating more than 2 000 detectable spectral features in this experimental setting and thus realizing true integrated proteome-metabolome profiling from a single aliquot of sample. Collectively, these comprehensive findings confirm that 3M-Filter is a rapid, reliable and scalable sample-preparation approach that retains high proteomic depth and quantitative fidelity, while facilitating extensive metabolomic characterization without additional sample consumption. Consequently, 3M-Filter is uniquely well adapted for multi-omics sample processing of limited or clinically valuable specimens, and further represents a practical, effective and novel alternative for large-scale cohort studies that require high-quality, parallel proteomic and metabolomic measurements from minimal sample input.
