Résumé

Optimal protocols for efficient and reproducible protein extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are not yet standardised and new techniques are continually developed and improved. The effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 20 000 on protein extraction efficiency has not been evaluated using human FFPE colorectal cancer tissues and there is no consensus on the protein extraction solution required for efficient, reproducible extraction. The impact of PEG 20 000 on protein extraction efficiency, reproducibility and protein selection bias was evaluated using FFPE colonic tissue via liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis. This study was conducted from August 2017 to July 2019 using human FFPE colorectal carcinoma tissues from the Anatomical Pathology department at Tygerberg Hospital in South Africa. Samples were analysed via label-free liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to determine the impact of using PEG 20 000 in the protein extraction solution. Data were assessed regarding peptide and protein identifications, method efficiency, reproducibility, protein characteristics and organisation relating to gene ontology categories. Polyethylene glycol 20 000 exclusion increased peptides and proteins identifications and the method was more reproducible compared to the samples processed with PEG 20 000. However, no differences were observed with regard to protein selection bias. We found that higher protein concentrations (> 10 µg) compromised the function of PEG. This study indicates that protocols generating high protein yields from human FFPE tissues would benefit from the exclusion of PEG 20 000 in the protein extraction solution.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Optimal protocols for efficient and reproducible protein extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are not yet standardised and new techniques are continually developed and improved. The effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 20 000 on protein extraction efficiency has not been evaluated using human FFPE colorectal cancer tissues and there is no consensus on the protein extraction solution required for efficient, reproducible extraction.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
The impact of PEG 20 000 on protein extraction efficiency, reproducibility and protein selection bias was evaluated using FFPE colonic tissue via liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis.
METHODS METHODS
This study was conducted from August 2017 to July 2019 using human FFPE colorectal carcinoma tissues from the Anatomical Pathology department at Tygerberg Hospital in South Africa. Samples were analysed via label-free liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to determine the impact of using PEG 20 000 in the protein extraction solution. Data were assessed regarding peptide and protein identifications, method efficiency, reproducibility, protein characteristics and organisation relating to gene ontology categories.
RESULTS RESULTS
Polyethylene glycol 20 000 exclusion increased peptides and proteins identifications and the method was more reproducible compared to the samples processed with PEG 20 000. However, no differences were observed with regard to protein selection bias. We found that higher protein concentrations (> 10 µg) compromised the function of PEG.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
This study indicates that protocols generating high protein yields from human FFPE tissues would benefit from the exclusion of PEG 20 000 in the protein extraction solution.
