Abstract

In forensic science, biological traces have a significant importance for forensic investigators. They can

provide crucial information about the donor or about a crime itself, for example what happened on a

crime scene or when the criminal incident was committed. In order to estimate the latter one, aging

of body fluids found on a crime scene is studied. This research investigated aging process of four

body fluids: blood, saliva, semen and fingermarks. As all of them are protein-containing fluids, this

type of compounds was examined by using mass spectrometry. Samples of aforementioned body

fluids were analyzed at different age, and subsequently, the numbers of proteins identified as well as

their quantification were compared. For blood, saliva and semen, the number of unique proteins was

changing with the age of a sample. Additionally, some proteins showed variations in quantity when

sample was getting older. These findings can indicate that protein levels are changing over time in

biological traces, and these biomolecules can be potential biomarkers for age estimation of specific

body fluid found on a crime scene.

1. Introduction

orensic science is an enormously developing field nowadays. As an interdisciplinary study, it

utilizes the knowledge and technology from several fields, such as chemistry, physics, medicine

and mathematics to solve crimes. On a crime scene, investigators can find many forensically

important traces. Traces like: pieces of glass, hairs, fibers or paints are defined as physical traces. On

the other hand, body fluids, which can be commonly found on a crime scene as well, belong to the

group of biological traces. All traces found on a crime scene can play a crucial role during

investigations. They can provide information about the suspect/victim or what happened during the

criminal incident. However, this thesis will focus only on body fluids, therefore, only biological

evidence will be further described in details.

Examining biological evidence has a high importance for investigators as they can provide

intelligence about the donor (by DNA profiling) or about the crime of investigation. The latter one is

often studied by analyzing the bloodstain pattern, which can give the information about events that

occurred on the crime scene [1]. Moreover, by studying the aging of body fluids, it can be estimated

when a crime took place, which can narrow down the time intervals for detectives. To date, several

attempts have been performed to study body fluids aging by using mainly spectroscopic [2, 3] or

chromatographic methods [4, 5]. However, these studies did not provide with sufficient information

about the aging process. Therefore, the aim of this research was to use mass spectrometry

technique, suitable for trace analysis, to study the aging of body fluids.

1.1 Forensic biological traces

1.1.1 Blood

This body fluid is composed of blood cells (red cells, white cells and platelets) suspended in blood

plasma. The red color of blood is due to an iron-containing protein – hemoglobin, which its main

function is to transport the oxygen from lungs to tissues[6]. As blood contains proteins, lipids,

electrolytes, metabolites, hormones and more [6], this fluid is the most extensively studied, not only

in medical fields. In forensics, studying blood traces has various purposes. Besides obtaining DNA

profile, or studying blood stain pattern [1], also aging of this body fluid has been examined.

The idea to study blood aging is not new. Many attempts were made to investigate aging process by

studying different blood components with various methods, for example RNA with reverse

transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) [7], erythrocytes with electron paramagnetic

resonance (EPR) [3] or globulins with immunoelectrophoresis [8]. More recent, three hemoglobin

derivatives: oxy-hemoglobin (oxy-Hb), methemoglobin (met-Hb) and hemichrome (HC) were studied

[2, 9, 10]. As the fractions of these derivatives are changing in time (fraction of oxy-Hb decreases and

met-Hb and HC increase), Bremmer et al.[2] applied reflectance spectroscopy to record spectra of

blood stains and calculated these fractions. They presented the potential of this method, as they

were able to discriminate age of blood stains with larger time intervals (e.g. 20 days). Edelman et al.

applied hyperspectral imaging to record the spectra of the described hemoglobin derivatives and

F

observed a decreased error compared to reflectance spectroscopy [10]. However, Bremmer et al. [9]

showed that conversion of oxy-Hb to met-Hb and HC is dependent on temperature and humidity.

Moreover, both methods were successful only when spectra were recorded against a white

background.

1.1.2 Saliva

This very essential body fluid has many functions, but the most important are: food solubilization,

lubrication, antibacterial, buffering and food digestion. Saliva is produced by salivary glands and it

contains water, electrolytes, proteins and other organic molecules [11]. Its chemical composition has

been studied widely, mostly for cancer [12], autoimmune diseases [13], hereditary diseases [14], or

viral diseases [15]. Saliva can also be used for drug analysis [16].

On a crime scene, this oral body fluid can be found for instance on food or cigarettes. In forensic

science, it is mainly studied for DNA profiling and aging studies have never been reported before.

Nevertheless, some study has shown that when saliva is in ex situ conditions [17], proteins can

degrade over time. This information is of importance and can indicate that saliva proteins have

potential to be used as a biomarker for age determination of saliva.

1.1.3 Semen

The main composition of semen is seminal fluid which may contain spermatozoa [18]. This fluid

contains high concentration of sugars (fructose and glucose) and proteins [19]. As study showed, in a

single individual seminal fluid, over 900 proteins can be identified [20] which can suggest that human

seminal fluid proteome can be used for biomarker studies, for example in cancer [21] or infertility

research[22]. In forensic science, this biological evidence can be found on a crime scene in a case of

sexual assaults. Semen has a high evidential importance as from this fluid donor DNA profile can be

obtained. For identification purposes, forensic investigators utilize the proteins’ natural fluorescence

from semen. However, there is yet no literature published to use this biomolecules in age

determination of seminal fluid.

1.1.4 Fingermarks

This type of traces is often found a crime scene. The chemical composition of fingermarks is diverse.

They contain elements (e.g. sodium, potassium, chloride), amino acids, proteins, fatty acids and

other lipids [23]. Forensic scientists study fingermarks to obtain as much information as possible

about the donors. For instance, from analysis of fingermarks information about the sex [24] or drug

abused [25] can be obtained. Similar to the other body fluids, the knowledge of the age of

fingermarks can be of significant importance for investigators. Wolstenholme et al. [26] attempted to

determine the age of fingermarks by investigating the degradation of olenaic acid. The other

research group, van Dam et al. [27], showed that the fluorescence signal is changing with the age of

the sample. However, the estimation error of aged samples was relatively high - only 55% of aged

male fingermarks estimated within the error of 1.9 days.

1.2 Mass spectrometry

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a widely used method in analytical chemistry. Its very intense

development can be proved by five Nobel Prizes, starting from 1906 with J.J.Thomson for his work on

the electrical conductivity of gases. Subsequently, other prizes were for isotope discovery by mass

spectrograph, for cyclotron and for the development of the ion trap technique. The last Nobel Prize

in mass spectrometry, until now, was awarded to J. Bennet and K. Tanaka in 2002. The first one for

developing soft desorption ionization methods, and the second one for developing a new method for

mass spectrometric analyses of biological macromolecules; both extremely important in protein

analysis. Mass spectrometry, as a versatile technique, has found its application in various disciplines,

such as toxicology, forensic science, clinical or environmental chemistry. Its main advantage is high

sensitivity [28], which can be critical, especially, in forensic science for analyzing biological traces,

which often are found on the crime scene in scarce or mixed.

1.2.1 Proteomics

Proteomics is the field of science which studies the biological processes in organisms by protein

analysis. A proteome is the entire protein complement expressed by a genome. However, in contrast

to genes, the nature of proteins is not static but dynamic. Proteins can undergo modifications

(phosphorylation, oxidation), their abundance can change or they can form clusters. Those variations

are dependent on the physiological state of the organism. Therefore, the proteome reflects the state

of a cell or a tissue, and it is crucial to not only identify all the proteins but also to measure their

changes as well as pathways of change[29].

Protein analysis is a challenging task, as proteome is not only very complex because of all interactions

and modifications described before, but also, compared to genes, proteins cannot undergo

amplifications, which is the limiting factor when a sample amount is scarce. Hence, only appropriate

tools (i.e. high sensitivity) can be applied in proteomics, which makes mass spectrometry a suitable

method.

In proteomics, there are two ionization methods in widespread use: matrix-assisted laser

desorption/ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ESI). Both of them can generate ions from

large nonvolatile biomolecules. MALDI and ESI are knows as soft ionization methods, which means

that there is a minimal or no fragmentation of the analytes. The first one is mostly used for peptide

mass fingerprinting or tissue imaging. In MALDI, sample is mixed with a matrix, which molecules have

a strong absorption at the applied laser wavelength. The absorbed energy is transferred to the

analyte, which is desorbed and ionized together with matrix molecules. This solid-phase technique

mostly generates singly charged ions. Electrospray ionization is a liquid technique, which is easy to

couple to such separation methods as liquid chromatography or electrophoresis. Here, a high voltage

is applied, which generates highly charged droplets of the analyte. In contrast to MALDI, ESI

generates multiply charged ions [28].

The typical workflow in proteomics for LC-MS/MS analysis is presented on the Fig. 1. Briefly, proteins

in a sample undergo digestion into peptides, mostly by using enzyme digestion, trypsin for example.

Those peptides prior to MS/MS analysis are separated with reverse-phase liquid chromatography. In

Page 10: Age determination of body fluids by mass spectrometry - … · Age determination of body fluids by mass spectrometry by ... Materials and methods ... potential to be used as a biomarker

10

MS/MS analysis, the precursor ions as well as product ions are scanned, which provides crucial

information about the structure of a sample. After the analysis, by using appropriate software,

protein and peptide identification can be obtained.

Figure 1. Typical workflow in proteomics for LC-MS/MS analysis. Adapted from reference [30].

The instrument used in this project was TripleTOF mass spectrometer. The scheme below presents

the features in this instrument. Briefly, QJet and Q0 are used for ion focusing, Q1 selects the

precursor ion and Q2 is the collision cell, where the ions collide with neutral gas molecules

(nitrogen). That formed product ions leave the collision cell and are re-accelerated and focused by

ions optics into a parallel beam which constantly enters TOF analyzer. There, a pulsed electric field is

pushing ions orthogonally to their previous direction, and then they acquire their final energy [31].

The accelerated ions travel through the tube, where at the opposite site is an electrostatic ion mirror

which reverses the ions direction to the detector. Ions gain the same kinetic energy, however, their

velocities are different, due to the mass differences. And consequently, ions reach the detector at

different time.

1.2.2 Quantitation in proteomics

Nowadays, only protein identification is no longer sufficient in proteomics studies. In order to gain

more knowledge about living organisms, tissues or cells, it is important to quantify the proteins. Their

abundances can change over a time or under specific conditions, such as disease for example. In

proteomics, there are two quantitative approaches, one which is based on labeling the sample and

the second one is label-free. Labeling techniques can be divided into three categories such as:

metabolic labeling, chemical labeling and addition of standard peptides. In those approaches, labeled

peptides have the same chemical properties as unlabeled ones, with the only difference in their

masses. In metabolic labeling, such as stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) for

example, samples of “light” and “heavy” amino acids are mixed at early stage. In chemical labeling,

the label can be introduced at protein or peptide levels. One of commonly used chemical labeling is

the isotope-coded affinity tag (ICAT). This label is bound to sulfhydryl groups of cysteine residues and

is useful to study oxidation or reduction level of proteins. However, as cysteine belongs to low

abundant amino acids in proteins, it reduces the number of peptides that can be examined. The

other type of chemical labeling is isobaric mass tags. There are two tags commercially available:

tandem mass tags (TMT) and isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)[33]. The

third technique of labeling approach in quantitative proteomics is by using synthetic isotope-labeled

peptides as a standard for absolute quantification (AQUA). These reference peptides allow to precise

measure the level of proteins and posttranslationally modified proteins. For AQUA, selected reaction

monitoring (SRM) analysis is performed [34].

In label-free approach, two quantitation techniques can be distinguished. First one is based on under

the curve (AUC) or signal intensity measurements, both based on precursor ion spectra. With these

methods chromatographic alignment is required. The second technique, spectral counting, is based

on counting the number of peptides assigned to a protein in MS/MS analysis. In spectral counting

methods, more abundant peptides are selected for fragmentation, and they produce a higher

abundance of MS/MS spectra. This process is proportional to protein amount in data-dependent

Page 12: Age determination of body fluids by mass spectrometry - … · Age determination of body fluids by mass spectrometry by ... Materials and methods ... potential to be used as a biomarker

12

acquisition. In order to assess protein abundance in the analyzed sample, protein abundance index

(PAI) is used. This index is defined as the number of identified peptides divided by the number of

observable generated peptides for every protein within a preferred mass range [35]. In order to

obtain absolute quantitation, PAI can be converted into exponentially modified emPAI, which is

equally to exponential form of PAI minus one, and this is proportional to protein content in analyzed

samples [36]. As in spectral counting, longer proteins generate more peptides than smaller ones, this

also can be used for quantification. In this case, normalized spectral abundance factor (NSAF) is used

which takes into account the length of the protein. In order to calculate NSAF, the number of spectral

counts for protein is divided by its length and this is defined as spectral abundance factor (SAF),

which has to be normalized by division by the sum of all SAFs for all proteins in a mixture [37].

Before applying a specific quantitation method, it is essential to consider which parameters are

crucial in the performed analysis. For example, it has to be determined what proteome coverage is

desired in the analyzed sample. This and other parameters for quantitative methods are overviewed

in the table below.

Figure 3 shows that from all proteins in a sample, only a certain amount can be identified.

Furthermore, from this amount, even a smaller fraction can be successfully quantified. It emphasizes

how challenging protein analysis is and how important it is to perform appropriate sample

preparation with suitable enrichment and purification steps. Additionally, it also indicates how much

of the proteome is still unknown.

1.2.3 Proteomics in forensic science

In forensic science it is very important to identify as many traces as possible which can be found on a

crime scene. The information of the trace’s origin can facilitate to reconstruct what has happened on

a crime scene. Especially, very crucial is the analysis of biological matrices as they can contain DNA,

which can have a huge value for investigators. However, as mostly those matrices are the mixtures of

several body fluids, such analysis is a complicated process. To identify such mixtures, an advanced

and sensitive method, like mass spectrometry, is needed. With this method, such body fluids as

blood, saliva, semen, vaginal fluids, urine and nasal secretions can be identified by a protein-specific

biomarker, which is unique for every body fluid [38, 39]. Moreover, analyzing biological traces with

MS is not destructive for DNA, which is an another advantage [40]. Hence, identification of the

source of a biological trace can be performed prior to DNA analysis.

The other approach of applying proteomics in forensic field is investigating organ-specific proteome.

This studies are especially useful in a case of ballistic reconstruction of the event [41] as the

information about which organ was damaged with the bullet can help to reconstruct the bullet’s

projectile.

As it can be seen, protein studies by mass spectrometry are common used in forensic science. It can

provide with very substantial information about the donor of a sample, or about the circumstances

that the crime happened. However, one of the very important information obtained from body fluids

has not been yet investigated using mass spectrometry – age determination of body fluids by protein

analysis. This thesis presents a novel approach of studying the aging process with LC-MS/MS method.

2.2 Methods

2.2.1 Blood

Dried blood spots were prepared by spotting 15µl of blood on Whatman filter paper. Samples

preparation for LC-MS/MS analysis was performed according to the protocol described by Chambers,

A.G., et al. [42]. Briefly, dried blood spots were excised from the filter paper and transferred to 1.5 ml

Eppendorf tubes. Fresh sample (15µl) was pipetted directly to the vial. In order to dissolve dried

blood spots and dilute fresh blood, 800µl of 25mM ammonium bicarbonate was added to the vials

and vortexed. Subsequently, 100 µl of 10% sodium deoxycholate and 10 µl of 0.5 M Tris(2-

carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride were added and samples were incubated for an hour at 60°C.

Then, samples were alkylated for one hour in the dark (covered with aluminum foil) in room

temperature after addition of 52.63µl 200mM iodoacetamide. In order to consume remain

iodoacetamide, 55.4µl of 200mM dithiotreitol (DTT) was added and samples were incubated for 30

minutes at 37°C. Next, 10 µl of trypsin solution was added and protein digestion was performed

Page 16: Age determination of body fluids by mass spectrometry - … · Age determination of body fluids by mass spectrometry by ... Materials and methods ... potential to be used as a biomarker

16

overnight at 37°C. Protein concentration in samples, before digestion, was estimated with Bradford

assay (Biorad). After digestion, sodium deoxycholate was precipitated by adding 40 µl of 2% formic

acid and the samples were centrifuged at 4000 g for 20 minutes. The supernatant was collected into

the new vials. Prior to LC-MS/MS analysis, samples were desalted by using solid-phase extraction.

Cartridges were first pre-washed twice with 50% ACN/water and 0.1% TFA. Afterwards, samples

were loaded and washed with 0.1% TFA. Analytes were eluted with 0.1% formic acid in 60% ACN.

The collected samples were, subsequently, evaporated to dryness and peptides were reconstituted

with water to obtain a final protein concentration of 0.2µg/µl.

In order to obtain the highest number of protein identification, three different LC methods were first

tested with fresh blood samples. For all methods, the same chemicals were used; mobile phase A:

0.1% formic acid, mobile phase B: 100% acetonitrile.

2.2.2 Saliva

Prior to LC-MS/MS analysis, proteins in saliva samples were first separated with SDS-PAGE using

precast 4-15% Tris-HCl gel. 10 µl of saliva was mixed with 10 µl of reducing sample buffer and

incubated for 5 minutes in 95°C. Then samples were applied to the gel lanes (20 µl per lane). Samples

were run at a voltage of 100V for 75 minutes. Afterwards, proteins were stained with Coomassie blue

and the gel was destained with distilled water.

Selected bands were excised from the gel and in-gel digestion was performed. Firstly, Coomassie

blue staining was removed from gel bands by incubation with 200µl of 0.04M NH4HCO3/50% ACN.

Next, proteins in gel bands were reduced with 100µl of 20mM DTT for 30 minutes in 37°C.

Afterwards, 100µl of 55mM iodoacetamide was added to every sample for alkylation in room

temperature for 20 minutes. Afterwards, proteins were digested with 10µl of 0.02µg/µl of trypsin

solution for 20 minutes on ice and subsequently 20µl of 40mM ammonium bicarbonate/10% ACN

was added and digestion was performed overnight in 37°C. Next day, digested proteins were

extracted from the gel bands with first 60µl ACN for 15 minutes in 37°C and then with 150µl of

50%ACN/5%HCOOH also for 15 minutes at the same temperature. Finally, peptides were dried and

dissolved in 10 µl of water prior to LC-MS/MS analysis and 94 minutes method was used, the same as

for blood samples.

2.2.3 Semen

Semen samples were analyzed similarly to saliva samples described in section 2.2.2. Firstly, proteins

were separated with SDS-PAGE (however, in this case, samples were first diluted 21 times with

phosphate-buffered saline) and later in-gel digestion was performed according to the same protocol.

LC-MS/MS analysis of semen peptides was performed with 20 minutes method (see Table 6).

2.2.4 Fingermarks

For fingermark samples collection, donors (males and females) were asked to put their finger onto a

glass surface, without previous washing their hands, in order to obtain “realistic” conditions.

Deposited fingermarks were later swabbed with cotton swabs. Swabs were subsequently transferred

into Eppendorf vials, 900 µl of 25mM ammonium bicarbonate was added and samples were

incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. Afterwards, swabs were removed and samples were centrifuged

for 15 minutes at 3000g. The supernatants were collected and in-solution digestion was performed

according to the same protocol as for blood samples. For LC-MS/MS analysis, 66 minutes method

was used (see Table 7).

3. Results and Discussion

Due to problems with the instrumentation, which had occurred during this research project, not all

samples were analyzed.

This chapter presents the results obtained from analysis of aging body fluids by mass spectrometry.

3.1 Blood

3.1.1 Method optimization

Prior to blood samples analysis, LC-MS/MS conditions were initially optimized with fresh blood

samples. Three different gradients were tested and the number of identified proteins and peptides

was compared. The graphs below present the obtained results.

From the foregoing graphs can be derived that the highest number of identification was obtained by

using 94 minutes method. With this gradient, 179 proteins and 953 peptides were identified. The 60

minutes method provided a significant lower number of proteins and peptide, 117 and 748

respectively. Finally, application of the shortest gradient resulted in 167 identified proteins and 748

identified peptides.

3.1.2 Examining aging of blood

Blood samples were analyzed at three different ages: fresh blood sample (liquid), 1 day old (stain)

and 7 days old blood (stain) with LC-MS/MS. Subsequently, the number of proteins and peptides

from every sample were compared (see Table 8). All measurements were performed in triplicates

and data was generated using human thorough protein database with Protein PilotTM software using

false discovery rate (FDR) 1%.

7 days old 129 110 111 1458 1369 1058

Coefficient of variation (CV) in every sample for proteins and peptides, respectively, is as follow: fresh

sample 9.5%, 15%; one day old sample 4.7%, 1.4%; and seven days old sample 9.1%, 16.2%.

In the next step, data was generated using other software. First, Search Gui 2.7.1, and subsequently,

Peptide Shaker 1.8.1. Two combined search engines were used: Open Mass Spectrometry Search

Algorithm (OMSSA) and MS-GF+. The used database for identification was Target-Decoy version

Homo sapiens protein database + common contaminants. Quality control filtering was performed

with 1% FDR. Data from three technical replicates were pooled together.

The number of identified proteins from all three samples was plotted and presented in the Figure 4.

The complete lists of identified proteins in blood samples (using Search Gui and Peptide Shaker) can

be found in Appendices 1-3.

Figure 6. Comparison of proteins in all three blood samples.

78 proteins were detected in every blood sample. Nonetheless, the number of unique proteins in

every sample is different. These number decreased from 14 proteins in fresh blood to 12 protein in

one day old sample and finally to 4 proteins in 7 days old blood.

Protein quantification was performed by using normalized spectrum abundance factor (NSAF).

10 proteins were found with alterations in NSAF values. 9 proteins have decreasing NSAF value (Fig.

7-15) and for one it is increasing (Fig. 16).

combining free plasma hemoglobin and it allows for hepatic cyclin of heme iron which prevents the

damage of kidneys.

For two proteins, alpha-1 acid glycoprotein-2 and putative uncharacterized proteins, the NSAF value

is decreasing notably during first 24 hours, however, posteriorly, this decline is less noticeably.

Alpha-1 acid glycoprotein-2 is transporting protein, however, the function of putative

uncharacterized proteins in humans is still unknown. In other mammals, mouse for example, it has a

regulation function of proteins activity.

Only bisphosphoglycerate mutase protein demonstrates an increasing trend in NSAF values over

examined time period. It can be explained by the function of this protein, to regulate hemoglobin

oxygen affinity, which is stronger with the increasing age of the sample.

3.2 Saliva

Saliva samples at ages of one day old, one week old and three weeks old were analyzed.

Firstly, proteins were separated with SDS-PAGE (Fig. 17). The arrows indicate from which part of the

gel bands were excised. Per sample, three bands were excised and each band was analyzed

separately. Afterwards, results from three bands were pooled together.

Figure 17. SDS-PAGE of saliva samples.

Data were generated according to the second step with blood analysis, by using First Search Gui 2.7.1

and Peptide Shaker 1.8.1 software. The number of all identified proteins in all three samples is

presented in the Venn diagram below. The all lists of proteins identified in saliva samples can be

found in Appendices 4-6.

Figure 18. Comparison of proteins in all three saliva samples.

39 proteins were present in every saliva sample, nonetheless, the number of unique proteins

detected is increasing with the age of saliva samples, from 9 unique proteins in one day old sample to

22 in three weeks old.

Similarly to blood samples, saliva samples also underwent quantification with NSAF. For eight

proteins, an alteration of NSAF was observed (See Fig. 19-26).

Interestingly, in this case, there are more proteins in which NSAF values were increasing with the age

of the sample. Moreover, most of proteins with variation in NSAF are keratin type proteins. The most

significant changes occur for keratin, type I cytoskeletal 13 with upward trend and for keratin, type II

3 with the downward trend. Furthermore, those two proteins have similar function: structural

molecule activity. The other two proteins with considerable alterations are leukocyte elastase

inhibitor and tubulin alpha-4A chain. The first one is responsible for the activity of neutrophil

proteases elastase, and the latter one for GTPase activity and GTP binding.

3.3 Semen

Semen samples (fresh, one week old and two weeks old) were analyzed according to the same

protocol as used for saliva samples. Proteins were first separated with SDS-PAGE, then 7 bands per

lane were excised and analyzed separately. At the end, results were pooled together for every

sample.

Figure 27. SDS-PAGE of semen samples.

The Venn diagram below depicts the identified proteins in all semen samples. The lists of all

identified proteins in semen samples can be found in Appendices 7-9.

Figure 28. Comparison of proteins in all three semen samples.

In the case of this body fluid, 41 common proteins for all aging samples were found, however, the

number of the unique proteins is variable. In fresh samples 36 unique proteins were identified. In 7

days old samples this number increased to 37. Nevertheless, this number decreased to only 11

unique proteins in two weeks old samples.

Proteins in all semen samples were quantified with NSAF and 6 proteins showed variations in NSAF

values (Fig. 29-34).

Keratin proteins are also present in semen samples with the downward or upward trend for type I

and type II, respectively. However, there are two proteins which NSAF is changing significantly. First

one, dermcidin, with upward trend, has antimicrobial properties. The second one, with reducing

NSAF, is semenogelin-2, which is involved in gel matrix formation. This result can indicate why the

older semen is more liquid then the fresh one.

3.4 Fingermarks

7 female (2 donors) and 6 male (one donor) fingermarks samples were analyzed at different age:

fresh (only female), one day old, 10 days old and 17 days old. Results were generated with Protein

Pilot software. Table 12 presents proteins identified in each sample.

Table 12. Proteins identified in every fingermark sample.

Sample Proteins

Fresh female fingermark keratin, type I cytoskeletal (9, 10, 14, 16); keratin, type II cytoskeletal (1, 1b, 2 epidermal, 5, 6A, 78); dermcidin; keratinocyte proline-rich protein; filaggrin-2; skin-specific protein 32; loricrin; junction plakoglobin

One day old female fingermark keratin, type II cytoskeletal 1

One day old male fingermark keratin, type I cytoskeletal (9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17); keratin, type II cytoskeletal (1, 2 epidermal); charged multivesicular body protein 2a; serum albumin; phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 1

10 days old female fingermark Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 9; keratin, type II cytoskeletal (1, 2 epidermal, 5, 6A, 73); apoptosis-enhancing nuclease;

10 days old male fingermark Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 9; keratin, type II cytoskeletal (1, 2 epidermal); sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit alpha-4; dermcidin

17 days old female fingermark Keratin, type I cytoskeletal (9, 10, 14, 16, 17); keratin, type II cytoskeletal (1, 2 epidermal, 5); dermcidin

17 days old male fingermark Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 10; prolactin-inducible protein

All samples contain keratin proteins, which is a protein found in skin cells. Interestingly, some

samples contain proteins which were not found in other fingermarks. This can suggest that those

proteins originate from contamination, as the donors deposited their fingermarks directly on the

glass slides, without previous finger preparation.

The results from fingermark samples could not be quantified as the signal to noise ratio in the

spectra was too low.

4. Conclusions and future research

For the first time mass spectrometry method was applied to study the aging of blood, saliva, semen

and fingerprints. In this research, protein changes were investigated, which occurs when the body

fluid is aging. It was shown that for some proteins, their concentration is increasing with time, for

example biphosphoglycerate mutase in blood, or keratins, type II in saliva. There were also several

proteins with decreasing concentration, such as apolipoprotein B-100 or semengelin-2. In the present

study, it was observed that for saliva, more proteins increased in concentration in comparison to

blood and semen. With regard to fingermarks samples, in this case, different extraction method is

required to obtain enough protein concentration that can be measured. This work presented the

potential of mass spectrometry technique for age determination of four body fluids commonly found

on a crime scene, although more research is needed in this area.

For future research, it is recommended to broaden the range of analyzed samples. In the case of

investigating proper biomarkers, it is important to expand studies to several donors from both sexes

with a wider range of age. Additionally, in forensic science it is significant to investigate fluids on

different substrates. Also, environmental conditions are crucial, for example how proteins undergo

degradation at different temperatures and humidity levels. Furthermore, label-free quantification

methods used in this study, can also suggest that more accurate methods should be applied.
