Mouse osteoclast homogenates nLC-ESI-MS/MS - WT vs Slc37a2 KO

To survey the proteomic differences between WT and Slc37a2 knockout osteoclasts at the whole cell and secretory lysosome levels, we used superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to enrich for these endo-lysosomal-related organelles from murine osteoclast cultures. Briefly, large scale murine bone marrow monocyte (BMM)-derived osteoclast cultures were ‘pulsed’ with SPIONs to encourage uptake into endosomes and then ‘chased’ into secretory lysosomes upon the convergence of SPION-loaded endosomes with lysosomes and secretory pathways. Following the ‘pulse-chase’, osteoclasts were homogenized, SPION-loaded organelles captured-from post-nuclear supernatants using magnetic columns, and enriched organelles as well as homogenates eluted and processed for 1D in-gel digestion and mass spectrometry. The samples presented here correspond to the proteome of WT and Slc37a2 knockout homogenates with secretory lysosome proteomes have been shared in another submission.
