A mass spectrometric study for comparative analysis and evaluation of metabolite recovery from plasma by various solvent systems.

ABSTRACT: A solvent system that extracts a maximum number of metabolites belonging to diverse chemical classes from complex biofluids, such as plasma, may offer useful inputs to understand the metabolic and physiological state of an individual. The present study compared seven solvent systems for extraction of metabolites from plasma. The extracts were analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) and MS/MS (MS2) using a quadrupole time-of-flight liquid chromatography/MS system in positive and negative modes of ionization. Metabolites with molecular mass below 400 were identified using Human Metabolome Database MS2 and MS search interfaces. The acetone/isopropanol (2:1) system yielded promising results in positive ionization mode, as the maximum number of MS and MS2 features was detected in the extract. It was found to be superior in extraction of various classes of metabolites, especially organic acids, nucleosides and nucleoside derivatives, and heterocyclic molecules. Glycerophosphocholines in the mass range of 400-700 were found to be efficiently extracted by the methanol/chloroform/water (8:1:1) system. In negative mode as well, the maximum number of MS2 features was detected in methanol/chloroform/water and acetone/isopropanol extracts. The fingerprints of molecular features obtained in the negative and positive modes differed from each other to a significant extent.

Data set for mass spectrometric analysis of recombinant human serum albumin from various expression systems.

Project description:Human serum albumin (HSA) is a versatile and important protein for the pharmaceutical industry (Fanali et al., Mol. Aspects Med. 33(3) (2012) 209-290). Due to the potential transmission of pathogens from plasma sourced albumin, numerous expression systems have been developed to produce recombinant HSA (rHSA) (Chen et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta (BBA)-Gen. Subj. 1830(12) (2013) 5515-5525; Kobayashi, Biologicals 34(1) (2006) 55-59). Based on our previous study showing increased glycation of rHSA expressed in Asian rice (Frahm et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 116(15) (2012) 4661-4670), both supplier-to-supplier and lot-to-lot variability of rHSAs from a number of expression systems were evaluated using reversed phase liquid chromatography linked with MS and MS/MS analyses. The data are associated with the research article 'Determination of Supplier-to-Supplier and Lot-to-Lot Variability in Glycation of Recombinant Human Serum Albumin Expressed in Oryza sativa' where further analysis of rHSA samples with additional biophysical methods can be found (Frahm et al., PLoS ONE 10(9) (2014) e109893). We determined that all rHSA samples expressed in rice showed elevated levels of arginine and lysine hexose glycation compared to rHSA expressed in yeast, suggesting that the extensive glycation of the recombinant proteins is a by-product of either the expression system or purification process and not a random occurrence.

Structure elucidation of metabolite x17299 by interpretation of mass spectrometric data.

Project description:IntroductionA major bottleneck in metabolomic studies is metabolite identification from accurate mass spectrometric data. Metabolite x17299 was identified in plasma as an unknown in a metabolomic study using a compound-centric approach where the associated ion features of the compound were used to determine the true molecular mass.ObjectivesThe aim of this work is to elucidate the chemical structure of x17299, a new compound by de novo interpretation of mass spectrometric data.MethodsAn Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer was used for acquisition of mass spectra up to MS4 at high resolution. Synthetic standards of N,N,N-trimethyl-l-alanyl-l-proline betaine (l,l-TMAP), a diastereomer, and an enantiomer were chemically prepared.ResultsThe planar structure of x17299 was successfully proposed by de novo mechanistic interpretation of mass spectrometric data without any laborious purification and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis. The proposed structure was verified by deuterium exchanged mass spectrometric analysis and confirmed by comparison to a synthetic standard. Relative configuration of x17299 was determined by direct chromatographic comparison to a pair of synthetic diastereomers. Absolute configuration was assigned after derivatization of x17299 with a chiral auxiliary group followed by its chromatographic comparison to a pair of synthetic standards.ConclusionThe chemical structure of metabolite x17299 was determined to be l,l-TMAP.

Structural Characterization of Daunomycin-Peptide Conjugates by Various Tandem Mass Spectrometric Techniques.

Project description:The use of peptide-drug conjugates has generated wide interest as targeted antitumor therapeutics. The anthracycline antibiotic, daunomycin, is a widely used anticancer agent and it is often conjugated to different tumor homing peptides. However, comprehensive analytical characterization of these conjugates via tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is challenging due to the lability of the O-glycosidic bond and the appearance of MS/MS fragment ions with little structural information. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the optimal fragmentation conditions that suppress the prevalent dissociation of the anthracycline drug and provide good sequence coverage. In this study, we comprehensively compared the performance of common fragmentation techniques, such as higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD), electron transfer dissociation (ETD), electron-transfer higher energy collisional dissociation (EThcD) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-tandem time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF/TOF) activation methods for the structural identification of synthetic daunomycin-peptide conjugates by high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry. Our results showed that peptide backbone fragmentation was inhibited by applying electron-based dissociation methods to conjugates, most possibly due to the "electron predator" effect of the daunomycin. We found that efficient HCD fragmentation was largely influenced by several factors, such as amino acid sequences, charge states and HCD energy. High energy HCD and MALDI-TOF/TOF combined with collision induced dissociation (CID) mode are the methods of choice to unambiguously assign the sequence, localize different conjugation sites and differentiate conjugate isomers.

Comparative Analysis of Quantitative Mass Spectrometric Methods for Subcellular Proteomics.

Project description:Knowledge of intracellular location can provide important insights into the function of proteins and their respective organelles, and there is interest in combining classical subcellular fractionation with quantitative mass spectrometry to create global cellular maps. To evaluate mass spectrometric approaches specifically for this application, we analyzed rat liver differential centrifugation and Nycodenz density gradient subcellular fractions by tandem mass tag (TMT) isobaric labeling with reporter ion measurement at the MS2 and MS3 level and with two different label-free peak integration approaches, MS1 and data independent acquisition (DIA). TMT-MS2 provided the greatest proteome coverage, but ratio compression from contaminating background ions resulted in a narrower accurate dynamic range compared to TMT-MS3, MS1, and DIA, which were similar. Using a protein clustering approach to evaluate data quality by assignment of reference proteins to their correct compartments, all methods performed well, with isobaric labeling approaches providing the highest quality localization. Finally, TMT-MS2 gave the lowest percentage of missing quantifiable data when analyzing orthogonal fractionation methods containing overlapping proteomes. In summary, despite inaccuracies resulting from ratio compression, data obtained by TMT-MS2 assigned protein localization as well as other methods but achieved the highest proteome coverage with the lowest proportion of missing values.

Mass spectrometric quantification of plasma glycosphingolipids in human GM3 ganglioside deficiency.

Project description:BackgroundAmong Amish communities of North America, biallelic mutations of ST3GAL5 (c.694C > T) eliminate synthesis of GM3 and its derivative downstream a- and b-series gangliosides. Systemic ganglioside deficiency is associated with infantile onset psychomotor retardation, slow brain growth, intractable epilepsy, deafness, and cortical visual impairment. We developed a robust quantitative assay to simultaneously characterize glycan and ceramide moieties of plasma glycosphingolipids (GSLs) among ST3GAL5 c.694C > T homozygotes (n = 8), their heterozygous siblings (n = 24), and wild type control (n = 19) individuals.MethodsFollowing extraction and saponification of total plasma lipids, GSLs were purified on a tC18 cartridge column, permethylated, and subjected to nanospray ionization mass spectrometry utilizing neutral loss scanning and data-dependent acquisition. Plasma GSLs were quantified against appropriate synthetic standards.ResultsOur method demonstrated linearity from 5 to 250 μl of plasma. Recovery of synthetic GSLs spiked into plasma was 99-104% with no matrix interference. Quantitative plasma GSL profiles discriminated among ST3GAL5 genotypes: GM3 and GD3 were undetectable in ST3GAL5 c.694C > T homozygotes, who had markedly elevated lactosylceramide (19.17 ± 4.20 nmol/ml) relative to heterozygous siblings (9.62 ± 2.46 nmol/ml) and wild type controls (6.55 ± 2.16 nmol/ml). Children with systemic ganglioside deficiency had a distinctive shift in ceramide composition toward higher mass species.ConclusionsOur quantitative glycolipidomics method discriminates among ST3GAL5 c.694C > T genotypes, can reveal subtle structural heterogeneity, and represents a useful new strategy to diagnose and monitor GSL disorders in humans.

Solvent extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometric determination of probable carcinogen 1,4-dioxane in cosmetic products.

Project description:In the present work, a method based on solvent extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been validated for the determination of 1,4-dioxane in cosmetics. Various solvents including ethyl acetate, hexane, methanol, dichloromethane and acetone have been used for the extraction of 1,4-dioxane, among them the ethyl acetate was found to be the most efficient extracting solvent. This method has offered excellent quality parameters for instance linearity (R2?>?0.9991), limit of detection (LOD, 0.00065-0.00091?µg/mL), limit of quantification (LOQ, 0.00217-0.00304?µg/mL) and, precision intra-day (1.65-2.60%, n?=?5) and inter-day (0.16-0.32%, n?=?5) in terms of relative standard deviation (RSD%). A total of thirty-nine cosmetic samples of different brands and origin have been studied. Among them, the 1,4-dioxane was found in twenty-three samples (FB1-FB7, MC1-MC4, MC6-MC8, HS3, HS5, BL1-BL3, BL5 and PLD1-PLD3) at the levels between 0.15?µg/mL and 9.92?µg/mL, whereas in sixteen samples (MC5, HS1, HS2, SG1-SG5, BL4 and HP1- HP6) was found to be not detected. The recovery values were achieved between 93% and 99% in both low and high level of spiked samples. In comparison to the traditional analytical techniques, the proposed method was found to be very sensitive and cost-effective for the routine analysis of 1,4-dioxane at low concentration in cosmetics.

Chemometric analysis of MALDI mass spectrometric images of three-dimensional cell culture systems.

Project description:As imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) has grown in popularity in recent years, the applications of this technique have become increasingly diverse. Currently there is a need for sophisticated data processing strategies that maximize the information gained from large IMS data sets. Traditional two-dimensional heat maps of single ions generated in IMS experiments lack analytical detail, yet manual analysis of multiple peaks across hundreds of pixels within an entire image is time-consuming, tedious and subjective. Here, various chemometric methods were used to analyze data sets obtained by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) IMS of multicellular spheroids. HT-29 colon carcinoma multicellular spheroids are an excellent in vitro model system that mimic the three dimensional morphology of tumors in vivo. These data are especially challenging to process because, while different microenvironments exist, the cells are clonal which can result in strong similarities in the mass spectral profiles within the image. In this proof-of-concept study, a combination of principal component analysis (PCA), clustering methods, and linear discriminant analysis was used to identify unique spectral features present in spatially heterogeneous locations within the image. Overall, the application of these exploratory data analysis tools allowed for the isolation and detection of proteomic changes within IMS data sets in an easy, rapid, and unsupervised manner. Furthermore, a simplified, non-mathematical theoretical introduction to the techniques is provided in addition to full command routines within the MATLAB programming environment, allowing others to easily utilize and adapt this approach.

Integrated Microfluidic Aptasensor for Mass Spectrometric Detection of Vasopressin in Human Plasma Ultrafiltrate.

Project description:We present a microfluidic aptamer-based biosensor for detection of low-molecular-weight biomarkers in patient samples. Using a microfluidic device that integrates aptamer-based specific analyte extraction, isocratic elution, and detection by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, we demonstrate rapid, sensitive and label-free detection of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in human plasma ultrafiltrate. AVP molecules in complex matrices are specifically captured by an aptamer that is immobilized on microbeads via affinity binding in a microchamber. After the removal of unbound, contaminating molecules through washing, aptamer-AVP complexes are thermally disrupted via on-chip temperature control. Released AVP molecules are eluted with purified water and transferred to a separate microchamber, and deposited onto a single spot on a MALDI plate via repeated, piezoelectrically actuated ejection, which enriches AVP molecules over the spot area. This integrated on-chip sample processing enables the quantitative detection of low-abundance AVP by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry in a rapid and label-free manner. Our experimental results show the detection of AVP in human plasma ultrafiltrate as low as physiologically relevant picomolar concentrations via aptamer-based selective preconcentration, demonstrating the potential of our approach as a rapid (~ 1hr), sensitive clinical AVP assay.

Prognostic accuracy of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric analysis of plasma in COVID-19.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 infection poses a global health crisis. In parallel with the ongoing world effort to identify therapeutic solutions, there is a critical need for improvement in the prognosis of COVID-19. Here, we report plasma proteome fingerprinting that predict high (hospitalized) and low-risk (outpatients) cases of COVID-19 identified by a platform that combines machine learning with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry analysis. Sample preparation, MS, and data analysis parameters were optimized to achieve an overall accuracy of 92%, sensitivity of 93%, and specificity of 92% in dataset without feature selection. We identified two distinct regions in the MALDI-TOF profile belonging to the same proteoforms. A combination of SDS-PAGE and quantitative bottom-up proteomic analysis allowed the identification of intact and truncated forms of serum amyloid A-1 and A-2 proteins, both already described as biomarkers for viral infections in the acute phase. Unbiased discrimination of high- and low-risk COVID-19 patients using a technology that is currently in clinical use may have a prompt application in the noninvasive prognosis of COVID-19. Further validation will consolidate its clinical utility.
