Spatial proteomics is a promising technique to profile protein expression in different tissue regions. While current antibody-based spatial mapping methods are sensitive, selective, and high-resolution, they can quantify only pre-defined proteins. In contrast, shotgun proteomics enables untargeted protein quantitation and has the potential to break through the limitation of antibody-based methods. However, typical shotgun proteomics requires several hours per nanoLC/MS/MS measurement, making the combination with MS imaging impractical. We have therefore developed a “machine-gun proteomics” platform that is more than 100 times faster than typical shotgun proteomics, at only 1.4 minutes per sample. Our method could obtain 1,000 sections within a day, allowing us to obtain not only 2D, but 3D spatial proteome expression profiles within a feasible time.
