Conventional proteomic approaches measure the averaged signal from mixed cell populations or bulk tissues, leading to the dilution of signals arising from subpopulations of cells that might serve as important biomarkers. Recent developments in bottom-up proteomics have enabled spatial mapping of cellular heterogeneity in tissue microenvironments. However, bottom-up proteomics cannot unambiguously define and quantify proteoforms, which are intact (i.e., functional) forms of proteins capturing genetic variations, alternatively spliced transcripts and posttranslational modifications. Herein, we described a spatially resolved top-down proteomics (TDP) platform for proteoform identification and quantitation directly from tissue sections. The spatial TDP platform consisted of a nanodroplet processing in one pot for trace samples–based sample preparation system and an laser capture microdissection–based cell isolation system. We improved the nanodroplet processing in one pot for trace samples sample preparation by adding benzonase in the extraction buffer to enhance the coverage of nucleus proteins. Using ∼200 cultured cells as test samples, this approach increased total proteoform identifications from 493 to 700; with newly identified proteoforms primarily corresponding to nuclear proteins. To demonstrate the spatial TDP platform in tissue samples, we analyzed laser capture microdissection–isolated tissue voxels from rat brain cortex and hypothalamus regions. We quantified 509 proteoforms within the union of top-down mass spectrometry–based proteoform identification and characterization and TDPortal identifications to match with features from protein mass extractor. Several proteoforms corresponding to the same gene exhibited mixed abundance profiles between two tissue regions, suggesting potential posttranslational modification–specific spatial distributions. The spatial TDP workflow has prospects for biomarker discovery at proteoform level from small tissue sections. Top-down proteomics of small tissue sections was demonstrated. Proteoforms specific to anatomical regions in rat brain were detected. An integrated informatics workflow for proteoform quantitation was presented. We demonstrated a spatial top-down proteomics (TDP) workflow for small rat brain tissue sections corresponding to ∼200 cells from distinct anatomical regions for understanding the cellular heterogeneity. The experimental protocol used a laser capture microdissection—nanoPOTS platform for liquid chromatography mass spectrometry of proteoforms extracted from tissue. Nine spots were analyzed using an informatics pipeline integrating multiple TDP software, yielding 509 quantifiable proteoforms. Distinct changes of proteoforms not easily accessible from protein-level measurements could reveal new mechanisms for biomarker discovery.
