English Microproteins and endogenous peptides in the brain contain important substances that have critical roles in diverse biological processes, contributing to signal transduction and intercellular signaling. However, variability in their physical or chemical characteristics, such as molecule size, hydrophobicity, and charge states, complicate the simultaneous analysis of these compounds, although this would be highly beneficial for the field of neuroscience research. Here, we present a top-down analytical method for simultaneous analysis of microproteins and endogenous peptides using high- resolution nanocapillary LC-MS/MS. This method is detergent-free and digestion-free, which allows for extracting and preserving intact microproteins and peptides for direct LC-MS analysis. Both higher energy collision dissociation and electron-transfer dissociation fragmentations were used in the LC-MS analysis to increase the identification rate, and bioinformatics tools ProteinGoggle and PEAKS Studio software were utilized for database search. In total, we identified 471 microproteins containing 736 proteoforms, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor and a number of fibroblast growth factors. In addition, we identified 599 peptides containing 151 known or potential neuropeptides such as somatostatin-28 and neuropeptide Y. Our approach bridges the gap for the characterization of brain microproteins and peptides, which permits quantification of a diversity of signaling molecules for biomarker discovery or therapy diagnosis in the future.
