During brain development, neuronal proteomes are regulated in part by changes in spontaneous and sensory-driven activity in immature neural circuits. A longstanding model for studying activity-dependent circuit refinement is the developing mouse visual system where the formation of axonal projections from the eyes to the brain is influenced by spontaneous retinal activity prior to the onset of vision and by visual experience after eye-opening. The precise proteomic changes in retinorecipient targets that occur during this developmental transition are unknown. Here, we developed a microanalytical proteomics pipeline using capillary electrophoresis (CE) electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) in the discovery setting to quantify developmental changes in the chief circadian pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), before and after the onset of photoreceptor-dependent visual function. Nesting CE-ESI with trapped ion mobility spectrometry time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry (TimsTOF PRO) doubled the number of identified and quantified proteins compared to the TOF-only control on the same analytical platform. From 10 ng of peptide input, corresponding to <∼0.5% of the total local tissue proteome, technical triplicate analyses identified 1894 proteins and quantified 1066 proteins, including many with important canonical functions in axon guidance, synapse function, glial cell maturation, and extracellular matrix refinement. Label-free quantification revealed differential regulation for 166 proteins over development, with enrichment of axon guidance-associated proteins prior to eye-opening and synapse-associated protein enrichment after eye-opening. Super-resolution imaging of select proteins using STochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) corroborated the MS results and showed that increased presynaptic protein abundance pre/post eye-opening in the SCN reflects a developmental increase in synapse number, but not presynaptic size or extrasynaptic protein expression. This work marks the first development and systematic application of TimsTOF PRO for CE-ESI-based microproteomics and the first integration of microanalytical CE-ESI TimsTOF PRO with volumetric super-resolution STORM imaging to expand the repertoire of technologies supporting analytical neuroscience.
