Tandem mass spectrometry-based multiplex assays for ?-mannosidosis and fucosidosis.

ABSTRACT: Multiplex tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)-based enzyme activity assays for newborn screening (NBS) and diagnosis of lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) in newborns, using dried blood spots (DBS) on newborn screening cards, have garnered much attention due to its sensitivity, high precision, and the capability to screen for an unprecedented number of diseases in a single assay. Herein we report the development of MS/MS-based enzyme assays for the diagnosis of ?-mannosidosis and fucosidosis. These new protocols are able to distinguish untreated patients from random newborns, carriers and a post-bone marrow transplant patient. We have successfully multiplexed the ?-mannosidosis assay with a multiplex MS/MS assay for the screening and diagnosis of other LSDs, namely Fabry, Pompe, MPS I, Gaucher, Niemann-Pick-A/B, and Krabbe diseases. Additionally, we also multiplexed the fucosidosis NBS assay with a 5-plex assay that tests for MPS-II, MPS-IIIB, MPS-IVA, MPS-VI and MPS-VII.

Project description:PubChem serves as a comprehensive repository, housing over 100 million unique chemical structures representing the breadth of our chemical knowledge across numerous fields including metabolism, pharmaceuticals, toxicology, cosmetics, agriculture, and many more. Rapid identification of these small molecules increasingly relies on electrospray ionization (ESI) paired with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), particularly by comparison to genuine standard MS/MS data sets. Despite its widespread application, achieving consistency in MS/MS data across various analytical platforms remains an unaddressed concern. This study evaluated MS/MS data derived from one hundred molecular standards utilizing instruments from five manufacturers, inclusive of quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) and quadrupole orbitrap "exactive" (QE) mass spectrometers by Agilent (QTOF), Bruker (QTOF), SCIEX (QTOF), Waters (QTOF), and Thermo QE. We assessed fragment ion variations at multiple collisional energies (0, 10, 20, and 40 eV) using the cosine scoring algorithm for comparisons and the number of fragments observed. A parallel visual analysis of the MS/MS spectra across instruments was conducted, consistent with a standard procedure that is used to circumvent the still prevalent issue of mischaracterizations as shown for dimethyl sphingosine and C20 sphingosine. Our analysis revealed a notable consistency in MS/MS data and identifications, with fragment ions' m/z values exhibiting the highest concordance between instrument platforms at 20 eV, the other collisional energies (0, 10, and 40 eV) were significantly lower. While moving toward a standardized ESI MS/MS protocol is required for dependable molecular characterization, our results also underscore the continued importance of corroborating MS/MS data against standards to ensure accurate identifications. Our findings suggest that ESI MS/MS manufacturers, akin to the established norms for gas chromatography mass spectrometry instruments, should standardize the collision energy at 20 eV across different instrument platforms.
