ABSTRACT
Microsampling of patient blood promises several benefits over conventional phlebotomy practices to facilitate precision medicine studies. These include at-home patient blood collection, supporting telehealth monitoring, minimal postcollection processing, and compatibility with nonrefrigerated transport and storage. However, for proteomic biomarker studies, mass spectrometry of whole blood has generally been avoided in favor of using plasma or serum obtained from venepuncture. We evaluated the use of a volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) device as a sample preparation matrix to enable LC-MS proteomic analyses of dried whole blood. We demonstrated the detection and robust quantitation of up to 1600 proteins from single-shot shotgun-LC-MS analysis of dried whole blood, greatly enhancing proteome depth compared with conventional single-shot LC-MS analyses of undepleted plasma. Some proteins not previously reported in blood were detected using this approach. Various washing reagents were used to demonstrate that proteins can be preferentially removed from VAMS devices prior to downstream analyses. We provide a demonstration that archival frozen blood cell pellets housed under long-term storage (exceeding 5 years) are compatible with VAMS to enable quantitation of potential biomarker proteins from biobank repositories. These demonstrations are important steps in establishing viable analysis workflows to underpin large-scale precision medicine studies. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD028605.
