Capillary electrophoresis for the analysis of glycosaminoglycan-derived disaccharides.

ABSTRACT: Capillary electrophoresis is a common technique used for glycosaminoglycan-derived disaccharide analysis because of its high resolving power, high separation efficiency, high sensitivity, short analysis time, and straightforward operation. CE coupled to laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection shows an approximately 100 times higher sensitivity than traditional UV detection at 232 nm. 2-Aminoacridone (AMAC) is a widely used fluorophore for labeling unsaturated disaccharides by deductive amination, which is one of the most important method of derivatization of disaccharides for CE-LIF detection. Outlined in this chapter is a protocol of analyzing glycosaminoglycan-derived disaccharides by CE-LIF with AMAC derivatization.

Analysis of glycosaminoglycan-derived disaccharides by capillary electrophoresis using laser-induced fluorescence detection.

Project description:A quantitative and highly sensitive method for the analysis of glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-derived disaccharides that relies on capillary electrophoresis (CE) with laser-induced fluorescence detection is presented. This method enables complete separation of 17 GAG-derived disaccharides in a single run. Unsaturated disaccharides were derivatized with 2-aminoacridone to improve sensitivity. The limit of detection was at the attomole level and approximately 100-fold more sensitive than traditional CE-ultraviolet detection. A CE separation timetable was developed to achieve complete resolution and shorten analysis time. The relative standard deviations of migration time and peak areas at both low and high concentrations of unsaturated disaccharides are all less than 2.7 and 3.2%, respectively, demonstrating that this is a reproducible method. This analysis was successfully applied to cultured Chinese hamster ovary cell samples for determination of GAG disaccharides. The current method simplifies GAG extraction steps and reduces inaccuracy in calculating ratios of heparin/heparan sulfate to chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate resulting from the separate analyses of a single sample.

Capillary electrophoresis for total glycosaminoglycan analysis.

Project description:A capillary zone electrophoresis-laser-induced fluorescence detection (CZE-LIF) method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of disaccharides derived from heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate, hyaluronan, and keratan sulfate. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) were first depolymerized with the mixture of GAG lyases (heparinase I, II, III and chondroitinase ABC and chondroitinase AC II) and GAG endohydrolase (keratinase II) and the resulting disaccharides were derivatized by reductive amination with 2-aminoacridone. Nineteen fluorescently labeled disaccharides were separated using 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 3.3) under reversed polarity at 25 kV. Using these conditions, all the disaccharides examined were baseline separated in less then 25 min. This CZE-LIF method gave good reproducibility for both migration time (?1.03% for intraday and ?4.4% for interday) and the peak area values (?5.6% for intra- and ?8.69% for interday). This CZE-LIF method was used for profiling and quantification of GAG derivative disaccharides in bovine cornea. The results show that the current CZE-LIF method offers fast, simple, sensitive, reproducible determination of disaccharides derived from total GAGs in a single run.

Online Capillary Zone Electrophoresis Negative Electron Transfer Dissociation Tandem Mass Spectrometry of Glycosaminoglycan Mixtures.

Project description:Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are important biological molecules that are highly anionic and occur in nature as complex mixtures. A platform that combines capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) separations with mass spectrometry (MS) and gas-phase sequencing by using negative electron transfer dissociation (NETD) is shown to be efficacious for the structural analysis of GAG mixtures. CZE is a separation method well suited to the highly negatively charged nature of GAGs. NETD is an electron-based ion activation method that enables the generation of informative fragments with retention of the labile sulfate half-ester modification that determine specific GAG function. Here we combine for the first time NETD and CZE for assigning the structures of GAG oligomers present in mixtures. The speed of ion activation by NETD is found to couple well with the narrow peaks resulting from CZE migration. The platform was optimized with mixtures of GAG tetrasaccharide standards. The potential of the platform is demonstrated by the analysis of enoxaparin, a complex mixture of low molecular weight heparins, which was separated by CZE within 30 minutes and characterized by NETD MS/MS in one online experiment. 37 unique molecular compositions have been identified in enoxaparin using CZE-MS and 9 structures have been assigned with CZE-NETD-MS/MS.

Ultrasensitive detection and quantification of acidic disaccharides using capillary electrophoresis and quantum dot-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer.

Project description:Rapid and highly sensitive detection of the carbohydrate components of glycoconjugates is critical for advancing glycobiology. Fluorescence (or Förster) resonance energy transfer (FRET) is commonly used in detection of DNA, in protein structural biology, and in protease assays but is less frequently applied to glycan analysis due to difficulties in inserting two fluorescent tags into small glycan structures. We report an ultrasensitive method for the detection and quantification of a chondroitin sulfate disaccharide based on FRET, involving a CdSe-ZnS core-shell nanocrystal quantum dot (QD) streptavidin conjugate donor and a Cy5 acceptor. The disaccharide was doubly labeled with biotin and Cy5. QDs then served to concentrate the target disaccharide, enhancing the overall energy transfer efficiency, with unlinked QDs and Cy5 hydrazide producing nearly zero background signal in capillary electrophoresis using laser-induced fluorescence detection with two different band-pass filters. This method is generally applicable to the ultrasensitive analysis of acidic glycans and offers promise for the high-throughput disaccharide analysis of glycosaminoglycans.

Analysis of Total Human Urinary Glycosaminoglycan Disaccharides by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:The determination of complex analytes, present at low concentrations, in biological fluids poses a difficult challenge. This study relies on an optimized method of recovery, enzymatic treatment, and disaccharide analysis by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to rapidly determine low concentrations of glycosaminoglycans in human urine. The approach utilizes multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of glycosaminoglycan disaccharides obtained from treating urine samples with recombinant heparin lyases and chondroitin lyase. This rapid and sensitive method allows the analysis of glycosaminoglycan content and disaccharide composition in urine samples having concentrations 10- to 100-fold lower than those typically analyzed from patients with metabolic diseases, such as mucopolysaccharidosis. The current method facilitates the analysis low (ng/mL) levels of urinary glycosaminoglycans present in healthy individuals and in patients with pathological conditions, such as inflammation and cancers, that can subtly alter glycosaminoglycan content and composition.

Normalization of glycosaminoglycan-derived disaccharides detected by tandem mass spectrometry assay for the diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis.

Project description:Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is caused by the deficiency of a specific hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the step-wise degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). In this study, we propose an empirical method to calculate levels of GAG-derived disaccharides based on the quantity (peak areas) of chondroitin sulfate (CS) with the aim of making a diagnosis of MPS more accurate and reducing the occurrence of false positive and false negative results. In this study, levels of urinary GAG-derived disaccharides were measured in 67 patients with different types of MPS and 165 controls without MPS using a tandem mass spectrometry assay. Two different methods of reporting GAG-derived disaccharides were assessed; normalization to urinary CS (in μg/mL), and normalization to μg/mg creatinine. CS-normalization yielded more consistent values than creatinine-normalization. In particular, levels of urinary dermatan sulfate (DS), heparan sulfate (HS), and keratan sulfate (KS) significantly varied because of changes in urine creatinine levels, which were proportional to age but inversely proportional to DS, HS, and KS measurements. Using CS-normalization revealed the actual status of DS, HS, and KS without the influence of factors such as age, urine creatinine, and other physiological conditions. It could discriminate between the patients with MPS and controls without MPS, and also to evaluate changes in GAG levels pre- and post-enzyme replacement therapy.

Advances in enzyme substrate analysis with capillary electrophoresis.

Project description:Capillary electrophoresis provides a rapid, cost-effective platform for enzyme and substrate characterization. The high resolution achievable by capillary electrophoresis enables the analysis of substrates and products that are indistinguishable by spectroscopic techniques alone, while the small volume requirement enables analysis of enzymes or substrates in limited supply. Furthermore, the compatibility of capillary electrophoresis with various detectors makes it suitable for KM determinations ranging from nanomolar to millimolar concentrations. Capillary electrophoresis fundamentals are discussed with an emphasis on the separation mechanisms relevant to evaluate sets of substrate and product that are charged, neutral, and even chiral. The basic principles of Michaelis-Menten determinations are reviewed and the process of translating capillary electrophoresis electropherograms into a Michaelis-Menten curve is outlined. The conditions that must be optimized in order to couple off-line and on-line enzyme reactions with capillary electrophoresis separations, such as incubation time, buffer pH and ionic strength, and temperature, are examined to provide insight into how the techniques can be best utilized. The application of capillary electrophoresis to quantify enzyme inhibition, in the form of KI or IC50 is detailed. The concept and implementation of the immobilized enzyme reactor is described as a means to increase enzyme stability and reusability, as well as a powerful tool for screening enzyme substrates and inhibitors. Emerging techniques focused on applying capillary electrophoresis as a rapid assay to obtain structural identification or sequence information about a substrate and in-line digestions of peptides and proteins coupled to mass spectrometry analyses are highlighted.

Analysis of inorganic polyphosphates by capillary gel electrophoresis.

Project description:This paper describes the development of a method that uses capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) to analyze mixtures of inorganic polyphosphate ((P(i))(n)). Resolution of (P(i))(n) on the basis of n, the number of residues of dehydrated phosphate, is accomplished by CGE using capillaries filled with solutions of poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) and indirect detection by the UV absorbance of a chromophore, terephthalate, added to the running buffer. The method is capable of resolving peaks representing (P(i))(n) with n up to approximately 70; preparation and use of authentic standards enables the identification of peaks for (P(i))(n) with n = 1-10. The main advantages of this method over previously reported methods for analyzing mixtures of (P(i))(n) (e.g., gel electrophoresis, CGE using polyacrylamide-filled capillaries) are its resolution, convenience, and reproducibility; gel-filled capillaries are easily regenerated by pumping in fresh, low-viscosity solutions of PDMA. The resolution is comparable to that of ion-exchange chromatography and detection of (P(i))(n) by suppressed conductivity. The method is useful for analyzing (P(i))(n) generated by the dehydration of P(i) at low temperature (125-140 degrees C) with urea, in a reaction that may have been important in prebiotic chemistry. The method should also be useful for characterizing mixtures of other anionic, oligomeric, or polymeric species without an intrinsic chromophore (e.g., sulfated polysaccharides, oligomeric phospho-diesters).

Analysis of mutational spectra by denaturing capillary electrophoresis.

Project description:The point mutational spectrum over nearly any 75- to 250-bp DNA sequence isolated from cells, tissues or large populations may be discovered using denaturing capillary electrophoresis (DCE). A modification of the standard DCE method that uses cycling temperature (e.g., +/-5 degrees C), CyDCE, permits optimal resolution of mutant sequences using computer-defined target sequences without preliminary optimization experiments. The protocol consists of three steps: computer design of target sequence including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers, high-fidelity DNA amplification by PCR and mutant sequence separation by CyDCE and takes about 6 h. DCE and CyDCE have been used to define quantitative point mutational spectra relating to errors of DNA polymerases, human cells in development and carcinogenesis, common gene-disease associations and microbial populations. Detection limits are about 5 x 10(-3) (mutants copies/total copies) but can be as low as 10(-6) (mutants copies/total copies) when DCE is used in combination with fraction collection for mutant enrichment. No other technological approach for unknown mutant detection and enumeration offers the sensitivity, generality and efficiency of the approach described herein.

Spray-Capillary-Based Capillary Electrophoresis Mass Spectrometry for Metabolite Analysis in Single Cells.

Project description:Single-cell capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry (CE-MS) is a promising platform to analyze cellular contents and probe cell heterogeneity. However, current single-cell CE-MS methods often rely on offline microsampling processes and may demonstrate low sampling precision and accuracy. We have recently developed an electrospray-assisted device, spray-capillary, for low-volume sample extraction. With the spray-capillary, low-volume samples (pL-nL) are drawn into the sampling end of the device, which can be used directly for CE separation and online MS detection. Here, we redesigned the spray-capillary by utilizing a capillary with a <15 μm tapered tip so that it can be directly inserted into single cells for sample collection and on-capillary CE-MS analysis. We evaluated the performance of the modified spray-capillary by performing single-cell microsampling on single onion cells with varying sample injection times and direct MS analysis or online CE-MS analysis. We have demonstrated, for the first time, online sample collection and CE-MS for the analysis of single cells. This application of the modified spray-capillary device facilitates the characterization and relative quantification of hundreds of metabolites in single cells.
