Polycarbonate Ultracentrifuge Tube Re-use in Proteomic Analyses of Extracellular Vesicles
Single-use laboratory plastics exacerbate the pollution crisis and contribute to consumable costs. In extracellular vesicle (EV) isolation, polycarbonate ultracentrifuge (UC) tubes are used to endure the associated high centrifugal forces. EV proteomics is an advancing field and validated re-use protocols for these tubes are lacking. Re-using consumables for low-yield protein isolation protocols and downstream proteomics requires reagent compatibility with mass spectroscopy acquisitions, such as the absence of centrifuge tube-derived synthetic polymer contamination, and sufficient removal of residual proteins. This protocol describes and validates a method for cleaning polycarbonate UC tubes for re-use in EV proteomics experiments. The cleaning process involves immediate submersion of UC tubes in H2O to prevent protein drying, washing in 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) detergent, rinsing in hot tap water, demineralized water, and 70% ethanol. To validate the UC tube re-use protocol for downstream EV proteomics, used tubes were obtained following an experiment isolating EVs from cardiovascular tissue using differential UC and density gradient separation. Tubes were cleaned and the experimental process was repeated without EV samples comparing blank never-used UC tubes to cleaned UC tubes. The pseudo-EV pellets obtained from the isolation procedures were lysed and prepared for liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry using a commercial protein sample preparation kit with modifications for low-abundance protein samples. Following cleaning, the number of identified proteins was reduced by 98% in the pseudo-pellet versus the previous EV isolation sample from the same tube. Comparing a cleaned tube against a blank tube, both samples contained a very small number of proteins (≤20) with 86% similarity. The absence of polymer peaks in the chromatograms of the cleaned tubes was confirmed. Ultimately, the validation of a UC tube cleaning protocol suitable for the enrichment of EVs will reduce the waste produced by EV laboratories and lower the experimental costs.
