    Flow chart representing the recruitment of LTx patients for analysis of the neutrophil phenotype (cohort 1) and <t>CXCL8</t> proteoforms (cohort 2). ( A ) To study the neutrophil phenotype, a first cohort of 100 fresh BAL fluid and 50 peripheral blood samples were collected from 134 individual patients, including 16 patients with a paired BAL fluid and peripheral blood sample. BAL fluid samples were excluded for flow cytometry analysis if cell counts were insufficient or upon severe blood contamination. Samples with insufficient neutrophils for proper flow cytometry analysis were excluded as well. Other reasons for exclusion were samples derived from patients on post-operative day 1 or upon hospital discharge immediately after transplantation, from patients with other severe complications (anastomotic stricture, pulmonary embolisms) or without clear diagnosis. Samples were categorized retrospectively to be derived from LTx patients with CLAD or pulmonary infection or stable LTx recipients according to clinical guidelines (see section). ( B ) To study CXCL8 proteoforms in LTx, COVID-19 and influenza patients, -80 °C-stored BAL fluid supernatants from a second cohort of 55 individual patients were used

(2) Total <t>CXCL8</t> is extracted from patient samples by immunosorbent purification using antibody-coupled magnetic beads. (3) Isolated CXCL8 proteoforms are subjected to analysis by nano-UPLC-MS/MS. (4, 5) The detection and quantification of signature fragment ions, generated by top-down collision-induced dissociation (CID) of a pre-selected precursor ion, at the expected elution time point, strongly indicates the presence of a specific CXCL8 proteoform. In general, truncated CXCL8 proteoforms display an enhanced capacity to induce neutrophil migration and activation. This figure is created with BioRender software.

( A ) To study the neutrophil phenotype, a first cohort of 100 fresh BAL fluid and 50 peripheral blood samples were collected from 134 individual patients, including 16 patients with a paired BAL fluid and peripheral blood sample. BAL fluid samples were excluded for flow cytometry analysis if cell counts were insufficient or upon severe blood contamination. Samples with insufficient neutrophils for proper flow cytometry analysis were excluded as well. Other reasons for exclusion were samples derived from patients on post-operative day 1 or upon hospital discharge immediately after transplantation, from patients with other severe complications (anastomotic stricture, pulmonary embolisms) or without clear diagnosis. Samples were categorized retrospectively to be derived from LTx patients with CLAD or pulmonary infection or stable LTx recipients according to clinical guidelines (see section).

The resulting fragmentation spectra are shown in the lower panels in (C) . Diamonds indicate the m/z value of the precursor ions selected for fragmentation. Extracted ion chromatograms (EIC) (top panels) show the detection of m/z values (±0.5) of the two signature fragment ions during protein elution. Relative quantification of CXCL8 forms is performed based on the intensity of the two major fragment ions in the EIC. (D) Dose-response curves for the simultaneous quantification of three CXCL8 forms in MRM mode (amounts ranging from 3.1 pg to 12.5 ng). Regression analysis was performed to fit curves to data.

    Kinetics of CXCL8 processing in the presence of synovial fluids from juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients. Exogenous CXCL8(1-77) was incubated with synovial fluids from JIA patients ( n = 4) for a period of 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 or 20 h. Total CXCL8 was extracted from synovial fluids by immunosorbent isolation and subjected to nano-LC-MS/MS analysis. For each sample, two nano-LC-MS/MS runs were performed to examine the presence of eight CXCL8 forms in MRM mode. (A) Extracted ion chromatograms (EIC) show the intensity of m/z values of signature fragment ions (±0.5) generated by fragmentation of a specific precursor ion (indicated between brackets) during protein elution. (B) Relative abundance of CXCL8 proteoforms in synovial fluids after 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 20 h of incubation (represented as mean ± SEM). (C) Pseudo-first order association kinetics of proteolytic modification of CXCL8(1-77) in the presence of synovial fluids (represented as mean ± SEM; n = 4).

    Workflow for immunosorbent tandem mass spectrometry proteoform analysis (ISTAMPA). (1) Synovial fluids are collected from the inflamed joints of patients with arthritis. (2) Total CXCL8 is extracted from patient samples by immunosorbent purification using antibody-coupled magnetic beads. (3) Isolated CXCL8 proteoforms are subjected to analysis by nano-UPLC-MS/MS. (4, 5) The detection and quantification of signature fragment ions, generated by top-down collision-induced dissociation (CID) of a pre-selected precursor ion, at the expected elution time point, strongly indicates the presence of a specific CXCL8 proteoform. In general, truncated CXCL8 proteoforms display an enhanced capacity to induce neutrophil migration and activation. This figure is created with BioRender software.

    Detection of CXCL8 proteoforms by top-down tandem mass spectrometry. (A) Parameters are optimized to ensure that only the acid-labile Asp-Pro (DP) bond breaks during low-energy fragmentation and only two fragment ions are generated. (B) Mass spectra (single MS) showing the intensity of multiple charged ions of CXCL8(1-77), CXCL8(6-77) and CXCL8(9-77) as a function of their m/z values. Ions with m/z values of 892.8 [for CXCL8(1-77)], 932.3 [for CXCL8(6-77)] or 900.4 [for CXCL8(9-77)] were isolated and fragmented with low energy CID. The resulting fragmentation spectra are shown in the lower panels in (C) . Diamonds indicate the m/z value of the precursor ions selected for fragmentation. Extracted ion chromatograms (EIC) (top panels) show the detection of m/z values (±0.5) of the two signature fragment ions during protein elution. Relative quantification of CXCL8 forms is performed based on the intensity of the two major fragment ions in the EIC. (D) Dose-response curves for the simultaneous quantification of three CXCL8 forms in MRM mode (amounts ranging from 3.1 pg to 12.5 ng). Regression analysis was performed to fit curves to data. Results are represented as mean ± SEM ( n ≥ 4).
