Many attempts have been made to reproduce the three-dimensional (3D) cancer behavior. For that purpose, Matrigel, an extracellular matrix from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm mouse sarcoma cell, is widely used in 3D cancer models such as scaffold-based spheroids and patient-derived organoids. However, severe ion suppression caused by contaminants from Matrigel hampers large-scale phosphoproteomics. In the present study, we successfully performed global phosphoproteomics from Matrigel-embedded spheroids and organoids. Using acetone precipitations of tryptic peptides, we identified more than 20,000 class 1 phosphosites from HCT116 spheroids. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that phosphoproteomic status are significantly affected by the method used for the recovery from the Matrigel, i.e., Dispase or Cell Recovery Solution. Furthermore, we observed the activation of several phosphosignalings only in spheroids and not in adherent cells which are coincident with previous study using 3D culture. Finally, we demonstrated that our protocol enabled us to identify more than 20,000 and nearly 3,000 class 1 phosphosites from 1.4 mg and 150 μg of patient-derived organoid, respectively. Additionally, we were able to quantify phosphosites with high reproducibility (r = 0.93 to 0.95). Our phosphoproteomics protocol is useful for analyzing the phosphosignalings of 3D cancer behavior and would be applied for precision medicine with patient-derived organoids.
