Immuno-MALDI MS dataset for improved detection of HCVcoreAg in sera.

ABSTRACT: Complicated and large-scale challenge the contemporary biomedical community faces are development of highly-sensitive analytical methods for detection of protein markers associated with development of pathogenic mechanisms [2]. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) method in combination with specific fishing is unique among other analytical protein detection approaches; it allows visualization and counting of single protein molecules [3-6]. The present dataset focus on mass spectrometry method for detection of human hepatitis C virus core antigen (HCV core Ag) taking into account the potential modification with cations in blood serum samples, using mica chips for the atomic force microscopy (AFM-chips). To conduct specific protein fishing, we used flat AFM-chips preliminary sensibilized with molecular probes - aptamers, which are single-stranded DNA sequences. In our study we used four types of aptamers up to 85 nucleotides specific against the target protein - HCVcoreAg [3,4]. Working (n = 19) and control (n = 11) AFM-chips with aptamers were preliminarily immobilized on the surface in four zones and incubated in blood serum samples (See Supplementary fig. 1). Analysis of MS data regarding modification of marker protein peptides with Na+, K+, K2Cl+, and Na2Cl + ions enables to enhance the reliability of target proteins detection in the serum thereby demonstrating a high diagnostic potential.

Complementary Glycomic Analyses of Sera Derived from Colorectal Cancer Patients by MALDI-TOF-MS and Microchip Electrophoresis.

Project description:Colorectal cancer is the fourth most prevalent cancer in the United States, yet there are no reliable noninvasive early screening methods available. Serum-based glycomic profiling has the necessary sensitivity and specificity to distinguish disease states and provide diagnostic potential for this deadly form of cancer. We applied microchip electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF-MS-based glycomic procedures to 20 control serum samples and 42 samples provided by patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Within the identified glycans, the position of fucose units was located to quantitate possible changes of fucosyl isomeric species associated with the pathological condition. MALDI-MS data revealed several fucosylated tri- and tetra-antennary glycans which were significantly elevated in their abundance levels in the cancer samples and distinguished the control samples from the colorectal cancer cohort in the comprehensive profiles. When compared to other cancers studied previously, some unique changes appear to be associated with colorectal cancer, being primarily associated with fucosyl isomers. Through MS and microchip electrophoresis-based glycomic methods, several potential biomarkers were identified to aid in the diagnosis and differentiation of colorectal cancer. With its unique capability to resolve isomers, microchip electrophoresis can yield complementary analytical information to MS-based profiling.

Detection of Rickettsia spp in ticks by MALDI-TOF MS.

Project description:BackgroundMatrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been shown to be an effective tool for the rapid identification of arthropods, including tick vectors of human diseases.Methodology/principal findingsThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the use of MALDI-TOF MS to identify tick species, and to determine the presence of rickettsia pathogens in the infected Ticks. Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Dermacentor marginatus Ticks infected or not by R. conorii conorii or R. slovaca, respectively, were used as experimental models. The MS profiles generated from protein extracts prepared from tick legs exhibited mass peaks that distinguished the infected and uninfected Ticks, and successfully discriminated the Rickettsia spp. A blind test was performed using Ticks that were laboratory-reared, collected in the field or removed from patients and infected or not by Rickettsia spp. A query against our in-lab arthropod MS reference database revealed that the species and infection status of all Ticks were correctly identified at the species and infection status levels.Conclusions/significanceTaken together, the present work demonstrates the utility of MALDI-TOF MS for a dual identification of tick species and intracellular bacteria. Therefore, MALDI-TOF MS is a relevant tool for the accurate detection of Rickettsia spp in Ticks for both field monitoring and entomological diagnosis. The present work offers new perspectives for the monitoring of other vector borne diseases that present public health concerns.

Improved MALDI imaging MS analysis of phospholipids using graphene oxide as new matrix.

Project description:Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) is an increasingly important technique for detection and spatial localization of phospholipids on tissue. Due to the high abundance and being easy-to-ionize of phosphatidylcholine (PC), therefore, selecting matrix to yield signals of other lipids has become the most crucial factor for a successful MALDI-IMS analysis of phospholipids. Herein, graphene oxide (GO) was proposed as a new matrix to selectively enhance the detection of other types of phospholipids that are frequently suppressed by the presence of PC in positive mode. Compared to the commonly used matrix DHB, GO matrix significantly improved signal-to-noise ratios of phospholipids as a result of its high desorption/ionization efficiency for nonpolar compounds. Also, GO afforded homogeneous crystallizations with analytes due to its monolayer structure and good dispersion, resulting in better reproducibility of shot-to-shot (CV < 13%) and spot-to-spot (CV < 14%) analysis. Finally, GO matrix was successfully applied to simultaneous imaging of PC, PE, PS and glycosphingolipid in the mouse brain, with a total of 65 phospholipids identified.

MALDI imaging MS reveals candidate lipid markers of polycystic kidney disease

Project description:Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is a severe, monogenetically inherited kidney and liver disease and PCK rats carrying the orthologous mutant gene serve as a model of human disease. We combined selective MALDI imaging of sulfated kidney lipids and Fisher discriminant analysis of imaging data sets for identification of candidate lipid markers of progressive disease in PCK rats. Our study highlights strong increases in lower mass lipids as main classifiers of cystic disease. Structure determination by high resolution mass spectrometry identifies these altered lipids as taurine-conjugated bile acids. Beside increased levels of serum-cholesterol these sulfated lipids are selectively elevated in the PCK rat model but not in models of related hepatorenal fibrocystic diseases suggesting that they be molecular markers of the disease. Genome-scale gene expression profiling of PCK and SD livers as control was performed to attempt elucidation of some of the underlying mechanisms leading to increases of cholesterol and taurine-conjugated bile acids in the PCK rat. Several pathways were found to be changed in cystic livers with up regulation or down regulation of important gene sets. Enhanced expression of steroid biosynthesis genes might result in the observed increased levels of cholesterol. In contrast, primary bile acid biosynthesis was found to be down regulated in diseased livers. These findings might be explained by compensatory mechanisms of liver metabolism to reduce toxic levels of accumulated bile acids.

Sialic acid linkage-specific permethylation for improved profiling of protein glycosylation by MALDI-TOF MS.

Project description:Protein glycosylation mediates a wide range of cellular processes, affecting development and disease in mammals. Deciphering the "glycocodes" requires rapid, sensitive and in-depth characterization of diverse glycan structures derived from biological samples. In this study, we described a two-step derivatization strategy termed linkage-specific sialic acid permethylation (SSAP) consisting of dimethylamination and permethylation for the improved profiling of glycosylation by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-fight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). High linkage-specificity (?99%) of SSAP to both the two most common forms of sialic acid, N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), permitted direct discrimination of ?2,3- and ?2,6-linked sialic acids in MALDI-TOF MS. The enhanced intensity (>10-fold) and increased detection limit (>10-fold) of derivatized glycans were valued for sensitive glycomics. Moreover, the good compatibility and reaction efficiency of the two steps of SSAP allowed rapid sample preparation (<2 h), benefiting robust analysis of glycans in a high-throughput manner. The SSAP strategy was further applied to investigate the protein glycosylation of human serum associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It was demonstrated that the relative abundances of individual glycans were different in RA negative and RA positive samples, and meanwhile the RA patient/control ratios of both ?2,3- and ?2,6-sialylated glycans tended to elevate accompanied with the increase of sialylation. Those findings of the glycosylation changes occurred in human serum protein may contribute to the diagnosis of RA. Herein, SSAP derivatization combined with MALDI-TOF MS exhibits unique advantages for glycomic analysis and shows potential in glycosylation profiling of therapeutic proteins and clinical glycan biomarker discovery.

Microfluidic LC device with orthogonal sample extraction for on-chip MALDI-MS detection.

Project description:A microfluidic device that enables on-chip matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) detection for liquid chromatography (LC) separations is described. The device comprises an array of functional elements to carry out LC separations, integrates a novel microchip-MS interface to facilitate the orthogonal transposition of the microfluidic LC channel into an array of reservoirs, and enables sensitive MALDI-MS detection directly from the chip. Essentially, the device provides a snapshot MALDI-MS map of the content of the separation channel present on the chip. The detection of proteins with biomarker potential from MCF10A breast epithelial cell extracts, and detection limits in the low fmol range, are demonstrated. In addition, the design of the novel LC-MALDI-MS chip entices the promotion of a new concept for performing sample separations within the limited time-frame that accompanies the dead-volume of a separation channel.

Optimizing thiophosphorylation in the presence of competing phosphorylation with MALDI-TOF-MS detection.

Project description:Thiophosphorylation provides a metabolically stable, chemically reactive phosphorylation analogue for analyzing the phosphoproteome in vitro and in vivo. We developed a MALDI-TOF-MS based assay for optimizing thiophosphopeptide production by a kinase even in the presence of Mg(2+) and ATP. We found that Abl kinase thiophosphorylation rates can be "rescued" using Mn(2+) in the presence of Mg(2+). Under our ideal conditions, titration of Mn(2+) and ATPgammaS in the presence of Mg(2+) allowed relatively rapid, highly specific thiophosphorylation by Abl tyrosine kinase, both as purified enzyme and in complex cell extracts.

Wolbachia detection in Aedes aegypti using MALDI-TOF MS coupled to artificial intelligence.

Project description:The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the major vector of arboviruses like dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses. Attempts to reduce arboviruses emergence focusing on Ae. aegypti control has proven challenging due to the increase of insecticide resistances. An emerging strategy which consists of releasing Ae. aegypti artificially infected with Wolbachia in natural mosquito populations is currently being developed. The monitoring of Wolbachia-positive Ae. aegypti in the field is performed in order to ensure the program effectiveness. Here, the reliability of the Matrix‑Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization‑Time Of Flight (MALDI‑TOF) coupled with the machine learning methods like Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to detect Wolbachia in field Ae. aegypti was assessed for the first time. For this purpose, laboratory reared and field Ae. aegypti were analyzed. The results showed that the CNN recognized Ae. aegypti spectral patterns associated with Wolbachia-infection. The MALDI-TOF coupled with the CNN (sensitivity = 93%, specificity = 99%, accuracy = 97%) was more efficient than the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and as efficient as qPCR for Wolbachia detection. It therefore represents an interesting method to evaluate the prevalence of Wolbachia in field Ae. aegypti mosquitoes.
