Optimized Analytical Procedures for the Untargeted Metabolomic Profiling of Human Urine and Plasma by Combining Hydrophilic Interaction (HILIC) and Reverse-Phase Liquid Chromatography (RPLC)-Mass Spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: Profiling of body fluids is crucial for monitoring and discovering metabolic markers of health and disease and for providing insights into human physiology. Since human urine and plasma each contain an extreme diversity of metabolites, a single liquid chromatographic system when coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) is not sufficient to achieve reasonable metabolome coverage. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) offers complementary information to reverse-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) by retaining polar metabolites. With the objective of finding the optimal combined chromatographic solution to profile urine and plasma, we systematically investigated the performance of five HILIC columns with different chemistries operated at three different pH (acidic, neutral, basic) and five C18-silica RPLC columns. The zwitterionic column ZIC-HILIC operated at neutral pH provided optimal performance on a large set of hydrophilic metabolites. The RPLC columns Hypersil GOLD and Zorbax SB aq were proven to be best suited for the metabolic profiling of urine and plasma, respectively. Importantly, the optimized HILIC-MS method showed excellent intrabatch peak area reproducibility (CV < 12%) and good long-term interbatch (40 days) peak area reproducibility (CV < 22%) that were similar to those of RPLC-MS procedures. Finally, combining the optimal HILIC- and RPLC-MS approaches greatly expanded metabolome coverage with 44% and 108% new metabolic features detected compared with RPLC-MS alone for urine and plasma, respectively. The proposed combined LC-MS approaches improve the comprehensiveness of global metabolic profiling of body fluids and thus are valuable for monitoring and discovering metabolic changes associated with health and disease in clinical research studies.

Project description:Viral infections are progressively becoming a global health burden, as witnessed in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is another highly contagious negative-sense RNA virus that causes lower respiratory tract infections and high mortality in infants. Palivizumab (Synagis®) is the only humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) approved by the FDA against RSV. The virus neutralization efficacy often depends on the nature and abundance of the glycoforms in therapeutic mAbs. Therefore, a thorough estimation of their PTM profile, especially glycosylation, is relevant. Here, we describe the intact and released glycan analysis of palivizumab (Synagis®) using HILIC chromatography and mass spectrometry. We detected five glycoforms (Man5/G0FB, G0F/G1F, G1F/G1F, G0FB/G0FB, and G2F/G2F) in deconvoluted MS spectra of intact glycosylated palivizumab. The mapping of the peptide and glycopeptides using LC-ESI-MS led to the detection of associated PTMs and the direct identification of a glycopeptide, GlcNAc3Man2. EEQYNSTYR, derived from the heavy chain of palivizumab.Release glycan analysis using UHPLC-HILIC revealed a typical glycan profile consisting of major glycans, G0F (33.94%), G1F (35.50%), G2F (17.24%) also reported previously and minor G1F' (5.81%), Man5 (3.96%) and G0FB (2.26%) forms with the superior resolution of isomeric G1F/G1F'. Next, we provide the first experimental evidence of Neu5Gc in the commercial palivizumab formulation using DMB labelling. The estimated monosaccharide composition was consistent with previous studies. The findings of the study highlight the efficiency of the release glycan method in providing a correct measure of the total palivizumab glycan pool compared to the intact glycoprotein/glycopeptide approach. The UHPLC-RPLC/HILIC and MS combinations provide a more comprehensive glycoprofile assessment due to the parallel use of fluorescent labels for the analysis of the release of N-glycan, sialic acid, and monosaccharide composition. This approach is suitable for quick quality testing and market surveillance of therapeutic mAbs. Alongside a well-perceived need for cost-effective immunoprophylaxis and the ongoing fast-paced development of next-generation variants of palivizumab, such as MEDI8897, the study reiterates glycosylation as a critical parameter that needs monitoring for drug characterization and quality control.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s42485-022-00086-1.
