A proteomic landscape of the spatiotemporal influence of Interleukin-33 (IL-33) in monocytes

Interleukin-33 (IL-33), a member of the IL-1 superfamily cytokines, is an endogenous danger signal and a nuclear-associated cytokine. It is one of the essential mediators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Aberrant IL-33 signaling has been demonstrated to play a defensive role against various infectious and inflammatory diseases. Although the signaling responses mediated by IL-33 have been previously reported, the temporal signalingdynamicsare yet to be explored. Towards this end,we applied quantitative temporal phosphoproteomics analysis to elucidate pathways and proteins induced by IL-33 in THP1 monocytes. Employing TMT labeling-based quantitation and titanium dioxide (TiO2)-based phosphopeptide enrichment strategy followed by mass spectrometry analysis, we identified 14,515 phosphorylation sites mapping to 4,174 proteins across (0 min to 240 mins)time points.
