The Roche Total Mycophenolic Acid® assay: An application protocol for the ABX Pentra 400 analyzer and comparison with LC-MS in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.

ABSTRACT: For TDM of mycophenolate acid (MPA), the Roche Total Mycophenolic Acid® assay based on the inhibition of recombinant inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) has been shown to be a simple and reliable alternative to chromatographic methods. We have adapted this assay on the ABX Pentra 400 analyzer (HORIBA).To investigate the analytical performances of the Roche Total Mycophenolic Acid® assay on the ABX Pentra 400 and to compare it to an LC-MS method using samples from children with nephrotic syndrome treated with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF).Configuration of the open-channel on the ABX Pentra 400 was based on the Roche MPA assay package insert. Precision was determined as described in the CLSI protocol EP5-A2. Comparison with the LC-MS method was performed using 356 plasma samples from 42 children with nephrotic syndrome (8 h pharmacokinetic profiles).The enzymatic assay demonstrated high precision. The %CV for Within Run Imprecision ranged from 5.5% at 1.2 mg/L to 1.5% at 14.1 mg/L and Total Imprecision ranged from 9.3% to 2.5%. The method comparison with plasma samples from children yielded overall a good correlation and a good agreement between both methods. The Passing Bablok regression analysis showed the following results: [Roche MPA assay]=1.058 [MPA LC-MS] -0.06; rho=0.996.The Roche Total Mycophenolic Acid® assay is adaptable to the ABX Pentra 400 analyzer, and demonstrates accurate and precise measurement of MPA in plasma obtained from children with nephrotic syndrome.

Project description:Idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is now considered a prodromal stage of an α-synucleinopathy-related to neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson's diseases. Emerging evidence has shown that post-translational modification or glycosylation are implicated in dynamic disease mechanisms and the onset of many pathological conditions. We hypothesized that the characterization of the glycosylation pattern of patients with RBD would be of great value to understand the pathophysiology and underlying mechanisms and represent potentially useful biomarkers for disease-associated molecular changes. To test this hypothesis, we assessed the serum glycome of patients with RBD and compared to that of healthy controls. NanoRPLC-MS was used to generate quantitative N-glycan profiles while high-temperature PGC-LC-MS platform was employed to generate quantitative isomeric N-glycan profiles. By analyzing permethylated glycans derived from human blood sera on C18-LC-MS/MS, we identified 59 N-glycan structures in healthy (control) cohort, 56 N-glycans in RBD cohort. Sixteen N-glycans structures were found to be significantly altered in the RBD cohort (p < 0.05). N-glycans with the composition of HexNAc4 Hex5 Fuc1 , HexNAc5 Hex5 , and HexNAc4 Hex5 Fuc1 NeuAc1 presented the most substantial difference between controls and RBD patients (p < 0.01). HexNAc4 Hex5 Fuc1 NeuAc1 showed a relatively high abundance (3.1 ± 0.7% in the control cohort versus 4 ± 3% in the idiopathic RBD cohort). These N-glycans can be potential diagnostic biomarker candidates and provide a window into underlying neurodegenerative processes in patients with idiopathic RBD. In addition, 7 N-glycan isomers were significantly different between controls and RBD patients (p < 0.05). HexNAc4 Hex5 Fuc1 NeuAc1 (4511-2) and HexNAc4 Hex5 Fuc1 NeuAc2 (4512-2) showed the most substantial difference between the control and idiopathic RBD cohorts (p < 0.001). Levels of both these two isomeric structures were higher in the idiopathic RBD cohort. Further larger studies are required to assess the reproducibility of these findings and to elucidate the role played by the changes in glycan structures in the pathogenetic mechanisms of RBD. This information will be instrumental in developing molecular therapeutic targets to promote neuroprotection and prevention of neurodegeneration.
