Secreted proteins mediate intercellular communication throughout the lives of multicellular organisms. However, due to the lack of new technology for secreted protein capturing, the progress of "secretomics lags behind. Here, we report a two-step secretome enrichment method (tsSEM) combining unnatural amino acid labeling and click chemistry-based biorthogonal reaction, which enables in vitro secretome profiling in the presence of serum. Using this novel method, we systematically investigated the secretome of human iPSCs-derived astrocytes (iAst) in different disease models and identified a panel of astrocyte-secreted proteins that are responsible for its non-cell autonomous toxicity under disease conditions. Furthermore, we validated two astrocytes-derived novel neurotrophic proteins, FAM3C and KITLG, which we identified from disease models, and found that they could boost neurite outgrowth, protect neurons, and promote neural progenitor proliferation. Our study highlights the utility of secretome profiling of iAst and demonstrates its applications in disease study and target identification and validation in drug development.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
