Proteomics strategy to identify novel proteins at the fetal and maternal blood-tissue interfaces in the mouse placenta. A, Scheme of our applied workflow. Cationic silica-beads were perfused via the maternal aorta to reach trophoblast lined maternal blood spaces or via the umbilical cord to reach fetal endothelial-lined vessels in the placental labyrinth. Silica-beads were isolated from labyrinth tissue to obtain in vivo surface-associated proteins. Proteins isolated from beads were analyzed by MudPIT-based proteomics. B, A zoomed-in scatter plot representation of the entire dataset highlighting known markers of endothelial cells (EC; blue text) and trophoblast cells (TC; red text). Green data points were significantly associated with either the EC or TC surfaces (FDR p value ≤0.1), whereas gray data points did not significantly differ (FDR p value >0.1).
