Proteomic strategies based on nanoLC-MS/MS allow the identification of hundreds to thousands of proteins in complex mixtures. When combined to protein isotopic labeling, quantitative comparison of the proteome from different samples can be achieved using these approaches. However, bioinformatic analysis of the data remains a bottleneck in large-scale quantitative proteomic studies. Here, we present a new software named MFPaQ (Mascot File Parsing and Quantification) which easily processes the results of the Mascot search engine and performs protein quantification in the case of isotopic labeling experiments using either the ICAT or SILAC method. This new tool provides a convenient interface to retrieve Mascot protein lists, sort them according to Mascot scoring or to user-defined criteria based on the number, the score and the rank of identified peptides, and to validate the results. Moreover, the software extracts quantitative data from raw files obtained by nanoLC-MS/MS, calculates peptide ratios, and generates a non-redundant list of proteins identified in a multi-search experiment with their calculated averaged and normalized ratio. Here, we apply this software to the proteomic analysis of membrane proteins from primary human endothelial cells (EC), a cell type involved in many physiological and pathological processes, including chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. We analyzed the EC membrane proteome and set up methods for quantitative analysis of this proteome by ICAT labeling. EC microsomal proteins were fractionated and analyzed by nanoLC-MS/MS, and database searches were performed with Mascot. Data validation and clustering of proteins were performed with MFPaQ, which allowed identification of more than 600 unique proteins. The software was also successfully used in a quantitative differential proteomic analysis of the EC membrane proteome after stimulation with a combination of pro-inflammatory mediators (TNFalpha , IFNgamma , lymphotoxin {alpha/beta}), that resulted in the identification of a full spectrum of EC membrane proteins regulated by inflammation.
