Effect of storage conditions on salivary polyamines quantified via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: Salivary polyamines are potential non-invasive tools for screening various types of cancers. For clinical use, the reproducibility of these metabolites should be evaluated under various storage conditions, including duration and temperature, to establish standard operating protocols. Polyamines and amino acids in unstimulated whole saliva were quantified via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Concentrations of time course samples were analysed after short-term storage for up to 240 min and long-term storage for up to 8 days under various storage conditions. As expected, storage at the lowest temperature (-18 °C) exerted the least pronounced effects on the quantified values in both tests. At a higher temperature, polyamines were more stable than amino acids, as evident from polyamine profiling. Addition of ethanol significantly stabilized polyamine profiles even at a higher temperature. Comparative processing of saliva revealed a minor effect of the solvent, whereas drying had a more prominent effect on polyamine profiles. Computational analyses evaluated the ability of polyamines to discriminate pancreatic cancer from controls. Repeated noise added tests were designed on the basis of the results of the storage tests; these analyses confirmed that the discriminative abilities were robust. These data contribute to the standardization of salivary storage conditions, thereby highlighting the clinical utility of saliva.

Allantoin in human urine quantified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Project description:Uric acid is a potent antioxidant and scavenger of singlet oxygen and other radicals in humans. Allantoin, the predominant product of free radical-induced oxidation of uric acid, is efficiently excreted in the urine and has potential as a biomarker of oxidative stress. We developed a rapid and specific assay for urinary allantoin using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry suitable for high-throughput clinical studies. The method required minimal sample preparation and was accurate (mean error=6%), precise (intra- and interday imprecision <8%), and sensitive (limit of detection=0.06pmol). Allantoin levels measured in control samples were comparable to literature values.

Quantification of 11 enzyme activities of lysosomal storage disorders using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Project description:Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are characterized by the accumulation of lipids, glycolipids, oligosaccharides, mucopolysaccharides, and other biological substances because of the pathogenic deficiency of lysosomal enzymes. Such diseases are rare; thus, a multiplex assay for these disorders is effective for the identification of affected individuals during the presymptomatic period. Previous studies have demonstrated that such assays can be performed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) detection. An assay procedure to quantify the activity of 11 enzymes associated with LSDs was provided. First, a validation study was performed using dried blood spot (DBS) samples with 100% and 5% enzyme activity for quality control (QC). Under the assay condition, the analytical range, defined as the ratio of the peak area of the enzyme reaction products from the DBS for QC with 100% enzyme activity to that from the filter paper blank sample, was between 14 for GALN and 4561 for GLA. Based on these results, the distribution of the enzyme activity for the 11 LSD enzymes was further examined. Consistent with the previous data, the enzyme activity exhibited a bell-shaped distribution with a single peak. The averaged enzyme activity for the healthy neonates was as follows: GLA, 3.80?±?1.6; GAA, 10.6?±?4.8; IDUA, 6.4?±?2.3; ABG, 8.6?±?3.1; ASM, 3.3?±?1.1; GALC, 2.8?±?1.3; ID2S, 16.7?±?6.1; GALN, 1.2?±?0.5; ARSB, 17.0?±?8.7; NAGLU, 4.6?±?1.5; and GUSB, 46.6?±?19.0??mol/h/L (mean?±?SD, n?=?200). In contrast, the enzyme activity in disease-affected individuals was lower than the minimum enzyme activity in healthy neonates. The results demonstrate that the population of disease-affected individuals was distinguished from that of healthy individuals by the use of LC-MS/MS.

Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry profiling of histones.

Project description:Here we describe the use of reverse-phase liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS) to simultaneously characterize variants and post-translationally modified isoforms for each histone. The analysis of intact proteins significantly reduces the time of sample preparation and simplifies data interpretation. LC-MS analysis and peptide mass mapping have previously been applied to identify histone proteins and to characterize their post-translational modifications. However, these studies provided limited characterization of both linker histones and core histones. The current LC-MS analysis allows for the simultaneous observation of all histone PTMs and variants (both replacement and bulk histones) without further enrichment, which will be valuable in comparative studies. Protein identities were verified by the analysis of histone H2A species using RPLC fractionation, AU-PAGE separation and nano-LC-MS/MS.

Polyamines in biological samples: rapid and robust quantification by solid-phase extraction online-coupled to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Project description:Polyamines are ubiquitous active biogenic amines which contribute to basic cellular functions. Hence, their quantification in samples of diverse biological origins is essential for understanding how they function, especially in disease-relevant conditions. We present here a robust, high-throughput solid-phase extraction online coupled to a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-LC/MS/MS) approach for the simultaneous quantification of eight polyamines in various biological samples. The polyamines include 1,3-diaminopropane, putrescine, cadaverin, N-acetyl-putrescine, spermidine, spermine, N(1)-acetyl-spermine, and l-ornithine. The novelty of the work is the use of two SPE columns online coupled to LC/MS/MS, which minimizes the sample pretreatment to a single derivatization step. The analysis is complete within 4min, making the method highly suitable for routine clinical analysis and high throughput screenings. The method was fully validated with serum samples. Dynamic ranges were 0.03 to 15?g/ml for ornithine and 1 to 500ng/ml for other polyamines, which cover physiological concentrations in serum samples. Lower limits of quantification (LLoQ) were found to be between 0.1 and 5ng/ml. As a proof of concept, we investigated gender differences in polyamine levels by analyzing the serum levels of 102 subjects.

Ocrelizumab quantitation by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Project description:IntroductionOcrelizumab is a monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). The clinical value of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for this antibody in treatment of MS is unknown, and an adequately specific and precise quantitation method for ocrelizumab in patient serum could facilitate investigation. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based quantitation methods have been shown to have higher analytic specificity and precision than enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.ObjectivesTo establish and validate an LC-MS/MS-based quantitation method for ocrelizumab.MethodsWe present an LC-MS/MS-based quantitation method using immunocapture purification followed by trypsinization and analysis by a triple quadrupole mass analyzer obtaining results within the same day.ResultsWe found that the ocrelizumab peptide GLEWVGAIYPGNGDTSYNQK (Q1/Q3 Quantifier ion: 723.683+/590.77 y112+ Qualifier ion: 723.683+/672.30 y122+) can be used for quantitation and thereby developed a method for quantifying ocrelizumab in human serum with a quantitation range of 1.56 to 200 µg/mL. The method was validated in accordance with EMA requirements in terms of selectivity, carry-over, lower limit of quantitation, calibration curve, accuracy, precision and matrix effect. Ocrelizumab serum concentrations were measured in three MS patients treated with ocrelizumab, immediately before and after ocrelizumab infusion, with additional sampling after 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks. Measured serum concentrations of ocrelizumab showed expected values for both Cmax and drug half-life over the sampled time period.ConclusionWe have established a reliable quantitation method for serum ocrelizumab that can be applied in clinical studies, facilitating the evaluation of ocrelizumab TDM in MS.

Effects of Storage Temperature on Indica-Japonica Hybrid Rice Metabolites, Analyzed Using Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:The Yongyou series of indica-japonica hybrid rice has excellent production potential and storage performance. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism of its storage resistance. In this study, Yongyou 1540 rice (Oryza sativa cv. yongyou 1540) was stored at different temperatures, and the storability was validated though measuring nutritional components and apparent change. In addition, a broad-targeted metabolomic approach coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was applied to analyze the metabolite changes. The study found that under high temperature storage conditions (35 °C), Yongyou 1540 was not significantly worse in terms of fatty acid value, whiteness value, and changes in electron microscope profile. A total of 19 key differential metabolites were screened, and lipid metabolites related to palmitoleic acid were found to affect the aging of rice. At the same time, two substances, guanosine 3',5'-cyclophosphate and pipecolic acid, were beneficial to enhance the resistance of rice under harsh storage conditions, thereby delaying the deterioration of its quality and maintaining its quality. Significant regulation of galactose metabolism, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, butyrate metabolism, and arginine and proline metabolism pathways were probably responsible for the good storage capacity of Yongyou 1540.

Profile of Phosphatidylserine Modifications under Nitroxidative Stress Conditions Using a Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Based Approach.

Project description:Nitrated lipids have been detected in vitro and in vivo, usually associated with a protective effect. While nitrated fatty acids have been widely studied, few studies reported the nitration and nitroxidation of the phospholipid classes phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine. However, no information regarding nitrated and nitroxidized phosphatidylserine can be found in the literature. This work aims to identify and characterize the nitrated and nitroxidized derivatives of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-3-glycero-phosphoserine (POPS), obtained after incubation with nitronium tetrafluoroborate, by liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem MS (MS/MS). Several nitrated and nitroxidized products were identified, namely, nitro, nitroso, nitronitroso, and dinitro derivatives, as well as some nitroxidized species such as nitrosohydroxy, nitrohydroxy, and nitrohydroperoxy. The fragmentation pathways identified were structure-dependent and included the loss of HNO and HNO₂ for nitroso and nitro derivatives, respectively. Combined losses of PS polar head group plus HNO or HNO₂ and carboxylate anions of modified fatty acyl chain were also observed. The nitrated POPS also showed antiradical potential, demonstrated by the ability to scavenge the ABTS●+ and DPPH● radicals. Overall, this in vitro model of nitration based on LC-MS/MS provided additional insights into the nitrated and nitroxidized derivatives of PS and their fragmentation fingerprinting. This information is a valuable tool for targeted analysis of these modified PS in complex biological samples, to further explore the new clues on the antioxidant potential of nitrated POPS.

Targeted analysis of glycomics liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry data.

Project description:Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is appropriate for all native and reductively aminated glycan classes. HILIC carries the advantage that retention times vary predictably according to oligosaccharide composition. Chromatographic conditions are compatible with sensitive and reproducible glycomics analysis of large numbers of samples. The data are extremely useful for quantitative profiling of glycans expressed in biological tissues. With these analytical developments, the rate-limiting factor for widespread use of HILIC LC/MS in glycomics is the analysis of the data. In order to eliminate this problem, a Java-based open source software tool, Manatee, was developed for targeted analysis of HILIC LC/MS glycan datasets. This tool uses user-defined lists of compositions that specify the glycan chemical space in a given biological context. The program accepts high-resolution LC/MS data using the public mzXML format and is capable of processing a large data file in a few minutes on a standard desktop computer. The program allows mining of HILIC LC/MS data with an output compatible with multivariate statistical analysis. It is envisaged that the Manatee tool will complement more computationally intensive LC/MS processing tools based on deconvolution and deisotoping of LC/MS data. The capabilities of the tool were demonstrated using a set of HILIC LC/MS data on organ-specific heparan sulfates.

Noncovalent dimer formation in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis.

Project description:Evidence will be presented that in the article "Novel LC-MS(2) Product Dependent Parallel Data Acquisition Function and Data Analysis Workflow for Sequencing and Identification of Intact Glycopeptides" written by Wu, S.-W.; Pu, T.-H.; Viner, R.; Khoo, K.-H. in Anal. Chem. 2014, 86, 5478-5486, noncovalent homo- and heterodimers were mis-identified as glycopeptides bearing well-defined N-linked structures, where the unexplained mass was attributed to excessive O-glycosylation. Noncovalent dimer formation of abundant components has not previously been considered as a complication in high-throughput proteomic analyses.

Quantification of protein phosphorylation by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Project description:The identification and quantification of specific phosphorylation sites within a protein by mass spectrometry has proved challenging when measured from peptides after protein digestion because each peptide has a unique ionization efficiency that alters with modification, such as phosphorylation, and because phosphorylation can alter cleavage by trypsin, shifting peptide distribution. In addition, some phosphorylated peptides generated by tryptic digest are small and hydrophilic and, thus, are not retained well on commonly used C18 columns. We have developed a novel C-terminal peptide (2)H-labeling derivatization strategy and a mass balance approach to quantify phosphorylation. We illustrate the application of our method using electrospray ionization liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry by quantifying phosphorylation of troponin I with protein kinase A and protein kinase C. The method also improves the retention and elution of hydrophilic peptides. The method defines phosphorylation without having to measure the phosphorylated peptides directly or being affected by variable miscleavage. Measurement of phosphorylation is shown to be linear (relative standard error <5%) with a detection limit of <10%.
