Ultra-performance ion-pairing liquid chromatography with on-line electrospray ion trap mass spectrometry for heparin disaccharide analysis.

ABSTRACT: A high-resolution method for the separation and analysis of disaccharides prepared from heparin and heparan sulfate (HS) using heparin lyases is described. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography in a reverse-phase ion-pairing mode efficiently separates eight heparin/HS disaccharides. The disaccharides can then be detected and quantified using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. This method is particularly useful in the analysis of small amounts of biological samples, including cells, tissues, and biological fluids, because it provides high sensitivity without being subject to interference from proteins, peptides, and other sample impurities.

Quantification of heparan sulfate disaccharides using ion-pairing reversed-phase microflow high-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization trap mass spectrometry.

Project description:The glycosaminoglycan (GAG) family of biomacromolecules is composed acidic and linear chains of repeating disaccharide units. Quantitative disaccharide composition analysis is essential for the study and characterization of GAGs. Heparan sulfate and heparin consist of multiple disaccharide units and can be well-separated by ion-pairing reversed-phase microflow high-performance liquid chromatography (IPRP-Mf-HPLC). Each disaccharide can be detected and its mass confirmed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Isotopically enriched disaccharides were prepared chemoenzymatically from a uniformly (13)C,(15)N-labeled N-acetylheparosan (-GlcA(1-->4)GlcNAc-) obtained from the fermentation of E. coli K5. These isotopically enriched disaccharides have identical HPLC retention times and mass spectra as their unlabeled counterparts and were used in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) as internal standards. The ratio of intensities between each pair of enriched and nonenriched disaccharides showed a linear relationship as a function of concentration. With the use of these calibration curves, the amount of each disaccharide (> or = 2 ng/disaccharide) could be quantified in four heparan sulfate samples analyzed by this method.

Disaccharide analysis of glycosaminoglycan mixtures by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Project description:Glycosaminoglycans are a family of polysaccharides widely distributed in all eukaryotic cells. These polyanionic, linear chain polysaccharides are composed of repeating disaccharide units that are often differentially substituted with sulfo groups. The diversity of glycosaminoglycan structures in cells, tissues and among different organisms reflect their functional an evolutionary importance. Glycosaminoglycan composition and structure also changes in development, aging and in disease progression, making their accurate and reliable analysis a critical, albeit, challenging endeavor. Quantitative disaccharide compositional analysis is one of the primary ways to characterize glycosaminoglycan composition and structure and has a direct relationship with glycosaminoglycan biological functions. In this study, glycosaminoglycan disaccharides, prepared from heparan sulfate/heparin, chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate and neutral hyaluronic acid using multiple polysaccharide lyases, were fluorescently labeled with 2-aminoacridone, fractionated into 17 well-resolved components by reverse-phase ultra-performance liquid chromatography, and analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. This analysis was successfully applied to cell, tissue, and biological fluid samples for the picomole level detection of glycosaminoglycan composition and structure.

Biomonitoring of aristolactam-DNA adducts in human tissues using ultra-performance liquid chromatography/ion-trap mass spectrometry.

Project description:Aristolochic acids (AAs) are a structurally related family of nephrotoxic and carcinogenic nitrophenanthrene compounds found in Aristolochia herbaceous plants, many of which have been used worldwide for medicinal purposes. AAs have been implicated in the etiology of so-called Chinese herbs nephropathy and of Balkan endemic nephropathy. Both of these disease syndromes are associated with carcinomas of the upper urinary tract (UUC). 8-Methoxy-6-nitrophenanthro-[3,4-d]-1,3-dioxolo-5-carboxylic acid (AA-I) is a principal component of Aristolochia herbs. Following metabolic activation, AA-I reacts with DNA to form aristolactam (AL-I)-DNA adducts. We have developed a sensitive analytical method, using ultraperformance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/multistage mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI/MS(n)) with a linear quadrupole ion-trap mass spectrometer, to measure 7-(deoxyadenosin-N(6)-yl) aristolactam I (dA-AL-I) and 7-(deoxyguanosin-N(2)-yl) aristolactam I (dG-AL-I) adducts. Using 10 ?g of DNA for measurements, the lower limits of quantitation of dA-AL-I and dG-AL-I are, respectively, 0.3 and 1.0 adducts per 10(8) DNA bases. We have used UPLC-ESI/MS(n) to quantify AL-DNA adducts in tissues of rodents exposed to AA and in the renal cortex of patients with UUC who reside in Taiwan, where the incidence of this uncommon cancer is the highest reported for any country in the world. In human tissues, dA-AL-I was detected at levels ranging from 9 to 338 adducts per 10(8) DNA bases, whereas dG-AL-I was not found. We conclude that UPLC-ESI/MS(n) is a highly sensitive, specific and robust analytical method, positioned to supplant (32)P-postlabeling techniques currently used for biomonitoring of DNA adducts in human tissues. Importantly, UPLC-ESI/MS(n) could be used to document exposure to AA, the toxicant responsible for AA nephropathy and its associated UUC.

A Simple Defined Medium for the Production of True Diketopiperazines in Xylella fastidiosa and Their Identification by Ultra-Fast Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Diketopiperazines can be generated by non-enzymatic cyclization of linear dipeptides at extreme temperature or pH, and the complex medium used to culture bacteria and fungi including phytone peptone and trypticase peptone, can also produce cyclic peptides by heat sterilization. As a result, it is not always clear if many diketopiperazines reported in the literature are artifacts formed by the different complex media used in microorganism growth. An ideal method for analysis of these compounds should identify whether they are either synthesized de novo from the products of primary metabolism and deliver true diketopiperazines. A simple defined medium (X. fastidiosa medium or XFM) containing a single carbon source and no preformed amino acids has emerged as a method with a particularly high potential for the grown of X. fastidiosa and to produce genuine natural products. In this work, we identified a range of diketopiperazines from X. fastidiosa 9a5c growth in XFM, using Ultra-Fast Liquid Chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Diketopiperazines are reported for the first time from X. fastidiosa, which is responsible for citrus variegated chlorosis. We also report here fatty acids from X. fastidiosa, which were not biologically active as diffusible signals, and the role of diketopiperazines in signal transduction still remains unknown.

Differentiation of AB-FUBINACA and its five positional isomers using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-linear ion trap mass spectrometry and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry.

Project description:PurposePositional isomer differentiation is crucial for forensic analysis. The aim of this study was to differentiate AB-FUBINACA positional isomers using liquid chromatography (LC)-electrospray ionization (ESI)-linear ion trap mass spectrometry (LIT-MS) and LC-ESI-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (QqQ-MS).MethodsAB-FUBINACA, its two fluorine positional isomers on the phenyl ring, and three methyl positional isomers in the carboxamide side chain were analyzed by LC-ESI-LIT-MS and LC-ESI-QqQ-MS.ResultsFour of the positional isomers, excluding AB-FUBINACA and its 3-fluorobenzyl isomer, were chromatographically separated on an ODS column in isocratic mode. ESI-LIT-MS could discriminate only three isomers, i.e., the 2-fluorobenzyl isomer, the N-(1-amino-2-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl) isomer, and the N-(1-amino-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-N-methyl isomer, based on their characteristic product ions observed at the MS3 stage in negative mode. ESI-QqQ-MS differentiated all six isomers in terms of the relative abundances of the product ions that contained the isomeric moieties involved in collision-induced dissociation reactions. The six isomers were more clearly and significantly differentiated upon comparison of the logarithmic values of the product ion abundance ratios as a function of collision energy.ConclusionsThe present LC-MS methodologies were useful for the differentiation of a series of AB-FUBINACA positional isomers.

Identification and quantification of glycoproteins using ion-pairing normal-phase liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry.

Project description:Glycoprotein structure determination and quantification by MS requires efficient isolation of glycopeptides from a proteolytic digest of complex protein mixtures. Here we describe that the use of acids as ion-pairing reagents in normal-phase chromatography (IP-NPLC) considerably increases the hydrophobicity differences between non-glycopeptides and glycopeptides, thereby resulting in the reproducible isolation of N-linked high mannose type and sialylated glycopeptides from the tryptic digest of a ribonuclease B and fetuin mixture. The elution order of non-glycopeptides relative to glycopeptides in IP-NPLC is predictable by their hydrophobicity values calculated using the Wimley-White water/octanol hydrophobicity scale. O-linked glycopeptides can be efficiently isolated from fetuin tryptic digests using IP-NPLC when N-glycans are first removed with PNGase. IP-NPLC recovers close to 100% of bacterial N-linked glycopeptides modified with non-sialylated heptasaccharides from tryptic digests of periplasmic protein extracts from Campylobacter jejuni 11168 and its pglD mutant. Label-free nano-flow reversed-phase LC-MS is used for quantification of differentially expressed glycopeptides from the C. jejuni wild-type and pglD mutant followed by identification of these glycoproteins using multiple stage tandem MS. This method further confirms the acetyltransferase activity of PglD and demonstrates for the first time that heptasaccharides containing monoacetylated bacillosamine are transferred to proteins in both the wild-type and mutant strains. We believe that IP-NPLC will be a useful tool for quantitative glycoproteomics.

Structural elucidation of molecular species of pacific oyster ether amino phospholipids by normal-phase liquid chromatography/negative-ion electrospray ionization and quadrupole/multiple-stage linear ion-trap mass spectrometry.

Project description:Although marine oysters contain abundant amounts of ether-linked aminophospholipids, the structural identification of the various molecular species has not been reported. We developed a normal-phase silica liquid chromatography/negative-ion electrospray ionization/quadrupole multiple-stage linear ion-trap mass spectrometric (NPLC-NI-ESI/Q-TRAP-MS(3)) method for the structural elucidation of ether molecular species of serine and ethanolamine phospholipids from marine oysters. The major advantages of the approach are (i) to avoid incorrect selection of isobaric precursor ions derived from different phospholipid classes in a lipid mixture, and to generate informative and clear MS(n) product ion mass spectra of the species for the identification of the sn-1 plasmanyl or plasmenyl linkages, and (ii) to increase precursor ion intensities by "concentrating" lipid molecules of each phospholipid class for further structural determination of minor molecular species. Employing a combination of NPLC-NI-ESI/MS(3) and NPLC-NI-ESI/MS(2), we elucidated, for the first time, the chemical structures of docosahexaenoyl and eicosapentaenoyl plasmenyl phosphatidylserine (PS) species and differentiated up to six isobaric species of diacyl/alkylacyl/alkenylacyl phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in the US pacific oysters. The presence of a high content of both omega-3 plasmenyl PS/plasmenyl PE species and multiple isobaric molecular species isomers is the noteworthy characteristic of the marine oyster. The simple and robust NPLC-NI-ESI/MS(n)-based methodology should be particularly valuable in the detailed characterization of marine lipid dietary supplements with respect to omega-3 aminophospholipids.

Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization-Mass Spectrometry for High-Neuroanatomical Resolution Quantification of Brain Estradiol Concentrations.

Project description:Ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMN) control of glucostasis is estradiol (E-2)-dependent. E-2 regulation of VMN reactivity to hypoglycemia may involve changes in signal volume due to altered aromatase expression. Here, high-resolution micropunch dissection tools for isolation of segmental VMN tissue were used with Design of Experiments-refined uHPLC-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) methodology to investigate the premise that effects of acute and/or recurring hypoglycemia on VMN E-2 content are sex-dimorphic. Relationships among multiple independent mass spectrometric operational variables were assessed by Central Composite Design (CCD) to amplify E-2 chromatogram area. Combinations of spectrometric temperature and gas pressure variable combinations were screened by Akaike Information Criterion correction modeling. A Fibonacci Sequence design using CCD minimum and maximal variable limits produced a small-run model that replicated maximal response from CCD. E-2 chromatographic response was further enhanced by optimization of solid phase extraction and instrument source and collision-induced dissociation voltages. In male rats, acute and chronic hypoglycemia respectively elevated or diminished E-2 concentrations relative to baseline in both rostral and caudal VMN. However, females exhibited regional variability in tissue E-2 profiles during acute (increased, rostral VMN; no change, caudal VMN) and recurring (no change, rostral VMN; increased, caudal VMN) hypoglycemia. Outcomes demonstrate requisite LC-ESI-MS sensitivity for E-2 quantification in small-volume brain tissue samples acquired with high-neuroanatomical specificity. Current methodology will facilitate efforts to investigate physiological consequences of VMN rostro-caudal segment-specific acclimation of E-2 profiles to recurring hypoglycemia, including effects on gluco-regulatory function, in each sex.

Assessing Adherence to Antihypertensive Medication by Means of Dose-Dependent Reference Plasma Concentration Ranges and Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry Analysis.

Project description:Poor adherence to antihypertensive drug therapy is a well-recognized problem and can be assessed by mass spectrometry-based analyses of body fluids. However, contrary statements exist whether drug quantification in blood or qualitative screening in urine is more suitable. The present pilot study aimed to further elucidate the power of blood plasma drug concentrations for adherence monitoring by developing and validating a quantification procedure for nine antihypertensive drugs (amlodipine, bisoprolol, candesartan, canrenone, carvedilol, metoprolol, olmesartan, torasemide, and valsartan) in blood plasma using liquid-liquid extraction and an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-ion trap mass spectrometry analysis. The procedure should then be used for an adherence assessment and compared with the results of an established qualitative urine screening. Selectivity, carryover, matrix effect, accuracy, precision, dilution integrity, and stability were successfully validated, except for amlodipine. The applicability was demonstrated by analyzing 19 plasma samples containing 28 antihypertensive drugs and comparing the measured concentrations with calculated dose-dependent reference plasma concentration ranges. The interpretation of plasma concentrations was found to be more sophisticated and time-consuming than that of urine screening results, and adherence could not be assessed in two cases (10%) due to measured plasma concentrations below the lower limit of quantification. However, 14 out of 19 subjects were classified as adherent (75%) and three as nonadherent (15%), in contrast to 19 (100%) that were claimed to be adherent based on the results of the qualitative urine screening. Nevertheless, further data is needed to estimate whether plasma quantification is superior in terms of assessing adherence to antihypertensive medication.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Diode Array Detector and Electrospray Ionization Ion Trap Time-of-Flight Tandem Mass Spectrometry to Evaluate Ginseng Roots and Rhizomes from Different Regions.

Project description:Ginseng, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer, is an industrial crop in China and Korea. The functional components in ginseng roots and rhizomes are characteristic ginsenosides. This work developed a new high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization ion trap time-of-flight multistage mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-IT-TOF-MS(n)) method to identify the triterpenoids. Sixty compounds (1-60) including 58 triterpenoids were identified from the ginseng cultivated in China. Substances 1, 2, 7, 15-20, 35, 39, 45-47, 49, 55-57, 59, and 60 were identified for the first time. To evaluate the quality of ginseng cultivated in Northeast China, this paper developed a practical liquid chromatography-diode array detection (LC-DAD) method to simultaneously quantify 14 interesting ginsenosides in ginseng collected from 66 different producing areas for the first time. The results showed the quality of ginseng roots and rhizomes from different sources was different due to growing environment, cultivation technology, and so on. The developed LC-ESI-IT-TOF-MS(n) method can be used to identify many more ginsenosides and the LC-DAD method can be used not only to assess the quality of ginseng, but also to optimize the cultivation conditions for the production of ginsenosides.
