Bottom-up proteomics utilizes sample preparation techniques to enzymatically digest proteins, thereby generating identifiable and quantifiable peptides. Proteomics integrates with other omics methodologies, such as genomics and transcriptomics, to elucidate biomarkers associated with diseases and responses to drug or biologics treatment. The methodologies employed for preparing proteomic samples for mass spectrometry analysis exhibit variability across several factors, including the composition of lysis buffer detergents, homogenization techniques, protein extraction and precipitation methodologies, alkylation strategies, and the selection of digestion enzymes. The general workflow for bottom-up proteomics consists of sample preparation, mass spectrometric data acquisition (LC-MS/MS analysis), and subsequent downstream data analysis including protein quantification and differential expression analysis. Sample preparation poses a persistent challenge due to issues such as low reproducibility and inherent procedure complexities. Herein, we have developed a validated chloroform/methanol sample preparation protocol to obtain reproducible peptide mixtures from both rodent tissue and human cell line samples for bottom-up proteomics analysis. The protocol we established may facilitate the standardization of bottom-up proteomics workflows, thereby enhancing the acquisition of reliable biologically and/or clinically relevant proteomic data.
