Charcoal-stripped fetal bovine serum (CS-FBS) is commonly used to study androgen responsiveness and androgen metabolism in cultured prostate cancer (CaP) cells. Switching CaP cells from FBS to CS-FBS may reduce the activity of androgen receptor (AR), inhibit cell proliferation, or modulate intracellular androgen metabolism. The removal of proteins by charcoal stripping may cause changes in biological functions and has not yet been investigated. Here we profiled proteins in FBS and CS-FBS using an ion-current-based quantitative platform consisting of reproducible surfactant-aided precipitation/on-pellet digestion, long-column nanoliquid chromatography separation, and ion-current-based analysis. A total of 143 proteins were identified in FBS, among which 14 proteins including insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) and IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-2 and -6 were reduced in CS-FBS. IGF-1 receptor (IGF1R) and insulin receptor were sensitized to IGFs in CS-FBS. IGF-1 and IGF-2 stimulation fully compensated for the loss of AR activity to maintain cell growth in CS-FBS. Endogenous production of IGF and IGFBPs was verified in CaP cells and clinical CaP specimens. This study provided the most comprehensive protein profiles of FBS and CS-FBS and offered an opportunity to identify new protein regulators and signaling pathways that regulate AR activity, androgen metabolism, and proliferation of CaP cells.
