Hyphenation of strong cation exchange chromatography to native mass spectrometry for high throughput online characterization of charge heterogeneity of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies.

ABSTRACT: Characterization of charge heterogeneity in monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is needed during developability assessment and downstream development of drug candidates. Charge heterogeneity can come from post-translational modifications like deamidation, isomerization, and sialylation. Elucidation of charge variants with mass spectrometry (MS) has historically been challenging. Due to the nonvolatility and high ionic strength of conventional buffer systems, labor-intensive offline fractionation followed by MS analysis is routinely used. Here, we describe an alternative strategy that directly couples strong cation exchange (SCX) chromatography to high-resolution Orbitrap MS for online native MS analysis (SCX-MS). A combined pH and salt gradient was used for universal separation of mAbs from a wide range of pI values (6.38 ~ 9.2), including infliximab (Remicade®, chimeric IgG1/kappa), NISTmab (humanized IgG1/kappa) and trastuzumab (Herceptin®, humanized IgG1/kappa), without tailoring of chromatographic profiles. Liquid chromatography and MS parameters were optimized to achieve high-quality spectra and enhanced detection of low abundant species under high flow rate conditions. Genedata Expressionist, a vendor agnostic software, was used for data processing. This integrated strategy allows unbiased characterization of numerous charge variant species and low molecular weight fragments (<0.05%) without post-column flow splitting. The application was further expanded with middle-up approaches for subdomain analysis, which demonstrated the versatility of the strategy for analysis of various construct types. With our analysis of mAbs during developability assessment and forced degradation studies, which aimed at assessing potential critical quality attributes in antibody drug molecules, we provide, for the first time, direct visualization of molecular alterations of mAbs at intact level. Furthermore, strong correlation was observed between this novel MS approach and analysis by capillary isoelectric focusing.

Project description:This dataset contains the raw data from the JASMS paper with the same title and DOI: 10.1007/s13361-012-0544-2. We compared the results of shotgun proteomic experiments of a trypsin digest of SUM52 cell lysate using 2D-LC fractionated (strong cation exchange and reversed phase of 6 SCX fractions) with FAIMS based fractionation. The FAIMS fractionation was performed using two different methods, an internal stepping method where the compensation voltage (CV) is cycled through 6 different voltages during the LC run (the three most abundant ions are fragmented at each CV. To match with the other methods this was run in six replicates. The other method was termed external stepping, for this method individual LC runs were performed at the six CV’s used earlier (-25 V to -50 V in 5 V steps). The three most abundant ions were again fragmented. For all three of these methods data was collect using electron transfer dissociation (ETD) and collision induced dissociation (CID) giving a total of 6 datasets with 6 raw files in each. SUM52 breast cancer carcinoma cells were cultured in HPMi-1640 formulation, supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, 1% Pen-Strep and 10% PBS at 37 oC in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. Lysis buffer contained Triton X-100 (0.5%), NaCl (0.15 M), PhosphoStop phosphatase inhibitor tablet (Roche) and Mini-complete protease inhibitor (Roche). The lysed cells were digested with trypsin at a ratio of 50:1 protein to enzyme. Part of the digest was fractionated with strong cation exchange using a Polysulfoethyl A column. All fractions and crude digest were desalted prior to mass spectrometry analysis. Approximately 1.66 µg of digest was loaded per LC-MS/MS run onto a 150mm Acclaim PepMap100 C18 column and separated over a 30 minute gradient from 3.2% acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid) to 44% acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid). The raw files were searched using proteome discoverer 1.2 against the human IPI database V3.81 supplemented with known contaminants and the reverse sequences. The files were searched with both sequest and mascot (v2.2.0). The MSF files were manually filtered using mascot significance scores and XCORR vs change state to give a 1% FDR, for filter setting see the linked paper. Included in the downloadable files is a xls file which documents the raw files listed and the names they had for the original searches, the names have been changed for clarity of the dataset.
