DiLeu tagging provides insight into human pancreas development

By nickwiecien

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is unique to each tissue, it guides cell differentiation, migration, morphology, and function. It has not been systematically studied in the human pancreas. In this paper, Li et al describe how they used mass spectrometry-based strategies using N,N-dimethyl leucine isobaric tags to identify proteome-wide and ECM-specific alterations in four age groups. They found 3,523 proteins and quantified 117 of them. This work will contribute to understanding the critical roles ECM plays in human pancreas development and maturation.

Introducing DiLeuPMP, a multiplexed isobaric labeling method

By nickwiecien

Glycosylation plays an important role in how the human body functions, including cell recognition, signaling, and immune response. While efforts have been devoted to the analysis of N-glycans, high-throughput quantitative analysis of O-glycans is underexplored. In this study, a multiplexed isobaric labeling method, DiLeuPMP, is introduced. This method combines the release and labeling of O-glycans in one step and achieves accurate MS2-based relative quantification. This method provides an effective and reliable approach for the profiling and high-throughput quantitative analysis of O-glycans in complex samples.

Li lab project uses DiLeu isobaric labeling to monitor neurotoxicity in chemotherapy in children

By nickwiecien

A new project by the Lingjun Li lab explores the use of the 4-plex N,N-dimethyl leucine (DiLeu) isobaric labeling strategy for protein identification and quantification in cerebrospinal fluid in children undergoing chemotherapy. The results from this and future studies will provide a means to monitor neurotoxicity and develop strategies to prevent central nervous system injury in response to chemotherapy in children.
