Living organisms contain a variety of endogenous peptides that function as significant regulators of many biological processes. Endogenous peptides are typically analyzed using liquid chromatographyemass spectrometry (LC-MS). However, due to the low efficiency of peptide extraction and low abundance of peptides in a single animal, LC-MSebased peptidomics studies have not facilitated an understanding of the individual differences and tissue specificity of peptide abundance. In this study, we developed a peptide extraction method followed by nano-flow LC-MS/MS analysis. This method enabled highly efficient and reproducible peptide extraction from sub-milligram quantities of hypothalamus dissected from a single animal. Diverse bioactive and authentic peptides were detected from a sample volume equivalent to 135 mu g of hypothalamus. This method may be useful for elucidating individual differences and tissue specificity, as well as for facilitating the discovery of novel bioactive peptides and biomarkers and developing peptide therapeutics.
