CE Separation and ICP-MS Detection of Gold Nanoparticles and Their Protein Conjugates.

ABSTRACT: A full understanding and mediation of nanoparticle-serum protein interactions is key to design nanoparticles with vivid functions within the body, and to solve this problem one needs to differentiate and characterize individual nano-protein conjugates. In this paper, the authors applied capillary electrophoresis combined with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry detection to study the behavior of gold nanoparticles of different geometry, size and surface functionalization upon interacting with serum proteins and their mixtures. Due to high-resolution and -sensitivity benefits of this combined technique baseline separations were attained for free nanoparticles (at real-life doses) and different protein conjugates, and the conversion into the protein-bound form was scrutinized in terms of reaction time.

Cellular processing of gold nanoparticles: CE-ICP-MS evidence for the speciation changes in human cytosol.

Project description:The cellular uptake of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) may (or may not) affect their speciation, but information on the chemical forms in which the particles exist in the cell remains obscure. An analytical method based on the use of capillary electrophoresis hyphenated with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been proposed to shed light on the intracellular processing of AuNPs. It was observed that when being introduced into normal cytosol, the conjugates of 10-50 nm AuNPs with albumin evolved in human serum stayed intact. On the contrary, under simulated cancer cytosol conditions, the nanoconjugates underwent decomposition, the rate of which and the resulting metal speciation patterns were strongly influenced by particle size. The new peaks that appeared in ICP-MS electropherograms could be ascribed to nanosized species, as upon ultracentrifugation, they quantitatively precipitated whereas the supernatant showed only trace Au signals. Our present study is the first step to unravel a mystery of the cellular chemistry for metal-based nanomedicines.

Targeted Delivery of Cisplatin by Gold Nanoparticles: The Influence of Nanocarrier Surface Modification Type on the Efficiency of Drug Binding Examined by CE-ICP-MS/MS.

Project description:Spherical gold nanoparticles (GNPs), whose unique properties regarding biomedical applications were broadly investigated, are an object of interest as nanocarriers in drug targeted delivery systems (DTDSs). The possibility of surface functionalization, especially in enabling longer half-life in the bloodstream and enhancing cellular uptake, provides an opportunity to overcome the limitations of popular anticancer drugs (such as cisplatin) that cause severe side effects due to their nonselective transportation. Herein, we present investigations of gold nanoparticle-cisplatin systems formation (regarding reaction kinetics and equilibrium) in which it was proved that the formation efficiency and stability strongly depend on the nanoparticle surface functionalization. In this study, the capillary electrophoresis hyphenated with inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry (CE-ICP-MS/MS) was used for the first time to monitor gold-drug nanoconjugates formation. The research included optimizing CE separation conditions and determining reaction kinetics using the CE-ICP-MS/MS developed method. To characterize nanocarriers and portray changes in their physicochemical properties induced by the surface's processes, additional hydrodynamic size and ζ-potential by dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements were carried out. The examinations of three types of functionalized GNPs (GNP-PEG-COOH, GNP-PEG-OCH3, and GNP-PEG-biotin) distinguished the essential differences in drug binding efficiency and nanoconjugate stability.

A CE-ICP-MS/MS method for the determination of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles under simulated physiological conditions.

Project description:Over the past few years, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have attracted much attention due to their medicinally attractive properties and their possible application in cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, there is still a lack of appropriate methods to enable quantitative monitoring of the particle changes in a physiological environment, which could be beneficial for evaluating their in vitro and in vivo behavior. For this reason, the main goal of this study was the development of a novel capillary electrophoresis-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CE-ICP-MS/MS) method for the determination of SPIONs suitable for the future examination of their changes upon incubation with proteins under simulated physiological conditions. The type and flow rate of the collision/reaction gas were chosen with the aim of simultaneous monitoring of Fe and S. The type and concentration of the background electrolyte, applied voltage, and sample loading were optimized to obtain SPION signals of the highest intensity and minimum half-width of the peak. Analytical parameters were at a satisfactory level: reproducibility (intra- and inter-day) of migration times and peak areas (presented as RSD) in the range of 0.23-4.98%, recovery: 96.7% and 93.3%, the limit of detection (for monitoring 56Fe16O+ by mass-shift approach) 54 ng mL-1 Fe (0.97 μM) and 101 ng mL-1 Fe (1.82 μM) for SPIONs with carboxyl and amino terminal groups, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported use of CE-ICP-MS/MS for the quantification of SPIONs and monitoring of interactions with proteins.

Quantification of monodisperse and biocompatible gold nanoparticles by single-particle ICP-MS.

Project description:Bioanalytical and biomedical applications often require nanoparticles that exhibit narrow size distributions and biocompatibility. Here, we demonstrate how different synthesis methods affect gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) monodispersity and cytotoxicity. Using single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS), we found that the size distribution of AuNPs synthesized with a cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) cap was significantly improved compared to AuNPs synthesized with citrate capping agents. We determined an up to 4× decrease in the full width at half maximum (FWHM) value of the normal distributions of AuNP diameter and up to a 12% decrease in relative standard deviation (RSD). While the CTAC-capped AuNPs exhibit narrow nanoparticle size distributions, they are cytotoxic, which limits safe and effective bioanalytical and biomedical applications. We sought to impart biocompatibility to CTAC-capped AuNPs through a PEGylation-based surface ligand exchange. We developed a unique ligand exchange method driven by physical force. We demonstrated the successful PEGylation using various PEG derivatives and used these PEGylated nanoparticles to further bioconjugate nucleic acids and peptides. Using cell viability quantification, we confirmed that the monodisperse PEGylated AuNPs were biocompatible. Our monodisperse and biocompatible nanoparticles may advance safe and effective bioanalytical and biomedical applications of nanomaterials.

Detection of Engineered Copper Nanoparticles in Soil Using Single Particle ICP-MS.

Project description:Regulatory efforts rely on nanometrology for the development and implementation of laws regarding the incorporation of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into industrial and consumer products. Copper is currently one of the most common metals used in the constantly developing and expanding sector of nanotechnology. The use of copper nanoparticles in products, such as agricultural biocides, cosmetics and paints, is increasing. Copper based ENMs will eventually be released to the environment through the use and disposal of nano-enabled products, however, the detection of copper ENMs in environmental samples is a challenging task. Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (spICP-MS) has been suggested as a powerful tool for routine nanometrology efforts. In this work, we apply a spICP-MS method for the detection of engineered copper nanomaterials in colloidal extracts from natural soil samples. Overall, copper nanoparticles were successfully detected in the soil colloidal extracts and the importance of dwell time, background removal, and sample dilution for method optimization and recovery maximization is highlighted.

Gold Nanoparticle Labeling Based ICP-MS Detection/Measurement of Bacteria, and Their Quantitative Photothermal Destruction.

Project description:Bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli present a great challenge in public health care in today's society. Protection of public safety against bacterial contamination and rapid diagnosis of infection require simple and fast assays for the detection and elimination of bacterial pathogens. After utilizing Salmonella DT104 as an example bacterial strain for our investigation, we report a rapid and sensitive assay for the qualitative and quantitative detection of bacteria by using antibody affinity binding, popcorn shaped gold nanoparticle (GNPOPs) labeling, surfance enchanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection. For qualitative analysis, our assay can detect Salmonella within 10 min by Raman spectroscopy; for quantitative analysis, our assay has the ability to measure as few as 100 Salmonella DT104 in a 1 mL sample (100 CFU/mL) within 40 min. Based on the quantitative detection, we investigated the quantitative destruction of Salmonella DT104, and the assay's photothermal efficiency in order to reduce the amount of GNPOPs in the assay to ultimately to eliminate any potential side effects/toxicity to the surrounding cells in vivo. Results suggest that our assay may serve as a promising candidate for qualitative and quantitative detection and elimination of a variety of bacterial pathogens.

Amplification-Free Strategy for miRNA Quantification in Human Serum Using Single Particle ICP-MS and Gold Nanoparticles as Labels.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are short single-stranded RNA sequences between 18 and 24 nucleotides, are known to play a crucial role in gene expression. Changes in their expression are not only involved in many diseases but also as a response to physiological changes, such as physical exercise. In this work, a new analytical strategy for the sensitive and specific analysis of miRNA sequences in human plasma is presented. The developed strategy does not depend on any nucleic acid amplification process and can be obtained in direct correlation to the number of events obtained by using single-particle ICP-MS measurements. The high selectivity of the assay (up to single nucleotide polymorphisms) can be achieved by a double hybridization process of the target miRNA with a complementary capture oligonucleotide that is conjugated to a magnetic microparticle and simultaneously with a complementary reporter oligonucleotide conjugated to a gold nanoparticle. Thanks to the novel approach followed in this method, the stoichiometry of the oligonucleotide-nanoparticle conjugates does not need to be addressed for the quantification of the target miRNA, which also represents a big advantage over other similar methods. The optimized method is applied to the determination of a miRNA as a biomarker of physical exercise in non-spiked human serum samples, and the results are validated against rt-qPCR. The achieved sensitivity permits the direct differentiation among sedentary and sportive subjects. This general platform can be easily applied to any other sequence by only modifying the capture and reporter oligonucleotides, paving the way for multiple clinically interesting applications.

Reproducibility Evaluation of Urinary Peptide Detection Using CE-MS.

Project description:In recent years, capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry (CE-MS) has been increasingly applied in clinical research especially in the context of chronic and age-associated diseases, such as chronic kidney disease, heart failure and cancer. Biomarkers identified using this technique are already used for diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of these complex diseases, as well as patient stratification in clinical trials. CE-MS allows for a comprehensive assessment of small molecular weight proteins and peptides (<20 kDa) through the combination of the high resolution and reproducibility of CE and the distinct sensitivity of MS, in a high-throughput system. In this study we assessed CE-MS analytical performance with regards to its inter- and intra-day reproducibility, variability and efficiency in peptide detection, along with a characterization of the urinary peptidome content. To this end, CE-MS performance was evaluated based on 72 measurements of a standard urine sample (60 for inter- and 12 for intra-day assessment) analyzed during the second quarter of 2021. Analysis was performed per run, per peptide, as well as at the level of biomarker panels. The obtained datasets showed high correlation between the different runs, low variation of the ten highest average individual log2 signal intensities (coefficient of variation, CV < 10%) and very low variation of biomarker panels applied (CV close to 1%). The findings of the study support the analytical performance of CE-MS, underlining its value for clinical application.

Thermodynamically controlled separation of polyvalent 2-nm gold nanoparticle-oligonucleotide conjugates.

Project description:We describe the synthesis of small (2-nm diameter) gold nanoparticles densely functionalized with thiolated DNA (DNA-Au NPs) and a method to separate these particles from excess free DNA after synthesis. The separation method utilizes the thermodynamically enhanced binding properties of 2-nm DNA-Au NPs, compared to free excess DNA, to selectively hybridize these small particles to larger (15-nm diameter) DNA-Au NPs and form aggregates that can be isolated by simple centrifugation. These 2-nm DNA-Au NPs are obtained in a 46% overall yield, have a high surface coverage of DNA (64.8 +/- 6.4 pmol/cm2), and as a result, exhibit increased melting temperatures and cooperative melting properties.

Conjugates of Gold Nanoparticles and Antitumor Gold(III) Complexes as a Tool for Their AFM and SERS Detection in Biological Tissue.

Project description:Citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were functionalized with three distinct antitumor gold(III) complexes, e.g., [Au(N,N)(OH)2][PF6], where (N,N)=2,2'-bipyridine; [Au(C,N)(AcO)2], where (C,N)=deprotonated 6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-pyridine; [Au(C,N,N)(OH)][PF6], where (C,N,N)=deprotonated 6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-2,2'-bipyridine, to assess the chance of tracking their subcellular distribution by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) techniques. An extensive physicochemical characterization of the formed conjugates was, thus, carried out by applying a variety of methods (density functional theory-DFT, UV/Vis spectrophotometry, AFM, Raman spectroscopy, and SERS). The resulting gold(III) complexes/AuNPs conjugates turned out to be pretty stable. Interestingly, they exhibited a dramatically increased resonance intensity in the Raman spectra induced by AuNPs. For testing the use of the functionalized AuNPs for biosensing, their distribution in the nuclear, cytosolic, and membrane cell fractions obtained from human lymphocytes was investigated by AFM and SERS. The conjugates were detected in the membrane and nuclear cell fractions but not in the cytosol. The AFM method confirmed that conjugates induced changes in the morphology and nanostructure of the membrane and nuclear fractions. The obtained results point out that the conjugates formed between AuNPs and gold(III) complexes may be used as a tool for tracking metallodrug distribution in the different cell fractions.
