Combination of hydrogel nanoparticles and proteomics to reveal secreted proteins associated with decidualization of human uterine stromal cells

BACKGROUND: Identification of secreted proteins of low abundance is often limited by abundant and high molecular weight (MW) proteins. We have optimised a procedure to overcome this limitation. RESULTS: Low MW proteins in the conditioned media of cultured cells were first captured using dual-size ex...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Identification of secreted proteins of low abundance is often limited by abundant and high molecular weight (MW) proteins. We have optimised a procedure to overcome this limitation. RESULTS: Low MW proteins in the conditioned media of cultured cells were first captured using dual-size exclusion/affinity hydrogel nanoparticles and their identities were then revealed by proteomics. CONCLUSIONS: This technique enables the analysis of secreted proteins of cultured cells low MW and low abundance.
