Direct and Precise Measurement of Bevacizumab Levels in Human Plasma Based on Controlled Methionine Oxidation and Multiple Reaction Monitoring.

ABSTRACT: Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody which targets vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and is used to treat various cancers and recently COVID-19. The dosage recommendations for bevacizumab are determined on the basis of body weight, and the drug is administered after defined time intervals, when it is presumed to still be above its minimum effective serum concentration. Interindividual and disease-stage-related variations in bevacizumab catabolism, however, can affect the proper dosing of patients, resulting in plasma concentrations which may not be within the optimal therapeutic window for the drug. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enables the assessment of patients' serum concentrations and allows personalized dosing which has the potential to improve efficacy and reduce side effects. While TMD is often performed using ligand-based assays, mass spectrometry (MS)-based TDM offers improved specificity. Here, we present a robust multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)-MS-based TDM method for the precise quantification of bevacizumab plasma concentrations, based on the controlled oxidation of the methionine-containing peptide, STAYLQMNSLR. The assay shows good linearity (r ² = 0.9951), robustness, and precision (CVs < 20%) for the quantification of bevacizumab, with a lower limit of quantification (S/N > 10) of 1.8 μg/mL of plasma, without the need for enrichment and requiring less than 1 μL of plasma and less than 6 h from sampling to result.

Direct spectrophotometric measurement of supra-physiological levels of ascorbate in plasma.

Project description:Supra-physiological concentrations of ascorbate, vitamin C, in blood, greater than 1mM, achieved through intravenous administration (IV), are being tested in clinical trials to treat human disease, e.g. cancer. These trials need information on the high levels of ascorbate achieved in blood upon IV administration of pharmacological ascorbate so appropriate clinical decisions can be made.Here we demonstrate that in the complex matrix of human blood plasma supra-physiological levels of ascorbate can be quantified by direct UV spectroscopy with use of a microvolume UV-vis spectrophotometer.Direct quantitation of ascorbate in plasma in the range of 2.9mM, lower limit of detection, up to at least 35mM can be achieved without any sample processing, other than centrifugation.This approach is rapid, economical, and can be used to quantify supraphysiological blood levels of ascorbate associated with the use of IV administration of pharmacological ascorbate to treat disease.

Accurate Proteomewide Measurement of Methionine Oxidation in Aging Mouse Brains.

Project description:The oxidation of methionine has emerged as an important post-translational modification of proteins. A number of studies have suggested that the oxidation of methionines in select proteins can have diverse impacts on cell physiology, ranging from detrimental effects on protein stability to functional roles in cell signaling. Despite its importance, the large-scale investigation of methionine oxidation in a complex matrix, such as the cellular proteome, has been hampered by technical limitations. We report a methodology, methionine oxidation by blocking (MobB), that allows for accurate and precise quantification of low levels of methionine oxidation typically observed in vivo. To demonstrate the utility of this methodology, we analyzed the brain tissues of young (6 m.o.) and old (20 m.o.) mice and identified over 280 novel sites for in vivo methionine oxidation. We further demonstrated that oxidation stoichiometries for specific methionine residues are highly consistent between individual animals and methionine sulfoxides are enriched in clusters of functionally related gene products including membrane and extracellular proteins. However, we did not detect significant changes in methionine oxidation in brains of old mice. Our results suggest that under normal conditions, methionine oxidation may be a biologically regulated process rather than a result of stochastic chemical damage.

Accurate proteome-wide measurement of methionine oxidation in aging mouse brains

Project description:The oxidation of methionine side chains has emerged as an important posttranslational modification of proteins. A diverse array of low-throughput and targeted studies have suggested that the oxidation of methionine residues in select proteins can have diverse impacts on cell physiology, ranging from detrimental effects on protein structure and stability to functional roles in cell signaling. Despite its importance, the large-scale investigation of methionine oxidation in a complex matrix, such as the cellular proteome has been historically hampered by technical limitations. Herein we report a methodology, Methionine Oxidation by Blocking (MobB), that allows for accurate and precise quantification of low levels of methionine oxidation typically observed in vivo. To demonstrate the utility of this methodology, we applied MobB to the brain tissues of young (6 m.o.) and old (20 m.o.) mice and identified over 280 novel sites for in vivo methionine oxidation. We further demonstrated that oxidation stoichiometries for specific methionine residues are highly consistent between individual animals and methionine sulfoxides are enriched in clusters of functionally related gene products including membrane and extracellular proteins. However, we did not detect significant changes in methionine oxidation in brains of old mice, suggesting that oxidation levels are highly regulated during the course of aging.

Conversion of methionine biosynthesis in Escherichia coli from trans- to direct-sulfurylation enhances extracellular methionine levels.

Project description:Methionine is an essential amino acid in mammals and a precursor for vital metabolites required for the survival of all organisms. Consequently, its inclusion is required in diverse applications, such as food, feed, and pharmaceuticals. Although amino acids and other metabolites are commonly produced through microbial fermentation, high-yield biosynthesis of L-methionine remains a significant challenge due to the strict cellular regulation of the biosynthesis pathway. As a result, methionine is produced primarily synthetically, resulting in a racemic mixture of D,L-methionine. This study explores methionine bio-production in E. coli by replacing its native trans-sulfurylation pathway with the more common direct-sulfurylation pathway used by other bacteria. To this end, we generated a methionine auxotroph E. coli strain (MG1655) by simultaneously deleting metA and metB genes and complementing them with metX and metY from different bacteria. Complementation of the genetically modified E. coli with metX/metY from Cyclobacterium marinum or Deinococcus geothermalis, together with the deletion of the global repressor metJ and overexpression of the transporter yjeH, resulted in a substantial increase of up to 126 and 160-fold methionine relative to the wild-type strain, respectively, and accumulation of up to 700 mg/L using minimal MOPS medium and 2 ml culture. Our findings provide a method to study methionine biosynthesis and a chassis for enhancing L-methionine production by fermentation.

Protein turnover measurement using selected reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (SRM-MS) C4PR_LIV

Project description:Protein turnover represents an important mechanism in the functioning of cells, with deregulated synthesis and degradation of proteins implicated in many diseased states. Therefore, proteomics strategies to measure, with high confidence, turnover rates are of vital importance to understanding many biological processes. In this study, the more widely used approach of non-targeted precursor ion signal intensity (MS1) quantification is compared to selected reaction monitoring (SRM), a data acquisition strategy that records data for specific peptides, to determine if improved quantitative data would be obtained using a targeted quantification approach. Using mouse liver as a model system, turnover measurement of four tricarboxylic acid cycle proteins was performed using both MS1 and SRM quantification strategies. SRM outperformed MS1 in terms of sensitivity and selectivity of measurement, allowing more confident determination of protein turnover rates. SRM data is acquired using cheaper and more widely available tandem quadrupole mass spectrometers, making the approach accessible to a larger number of researchers than MS1 quantification, which is best performed on high mass resolution instruments. SRM acquisition is ideally suited to focussed studies where the turnover of tens of proteins is measured, making it applicable in determining the dynamics of proteins complexes and complete metabolic pathways.

Multiple Reaction Monitoring Enables Precise Quantification of 97 Proteins in Dried Blood Spots.

Project description:The dried blood spot (DBS) methodology provides a minimally invasive approach to sample collection and enables room-temperature storage for most analytes. DBS samples have successfully been analyzed by liquid chromatography multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (LC/MRM-MS) to quantify a large range of small molecule biomarkers and drugs; however, this strategy has only recently been explored for MS-based proteomics applications. Here we report the development of a highly multiplexed MRM assay to quantify endogenous proteins in human DBS samples. This assay uses matching stable isotope-labeled standard peptides for precise, relative quantification, and standard curves to characterize the analytical performance. A total of 169 peptides, corresponding to 97 proteins, were quantified in the final assay with an average linear dynamic range of 207-fold and an average R(2) value of 0.987. The total range of this assay spanned almost 5 orders of magnitude from serum albumin (P02768) at 18.0 mg/ml down to cholinesterase (P06276) at 190 ng/ml. The average intra-assay and inter-assay precision for 6 biological samples ranged from 6.1-7.5% CV and 9.5-11.0% CV, respectively. The majority of peptide targets were stable after 154 days at storage temperatures from -20 °C to 37 °C. Furthermore, protein concentration ratios between matching DBS and whole blood samples were largely constant (<20% CV) across six biological samples. This assay represents the highest multiplexing yet achieved for targeted protein quantification in DBS samples and is suitable for biomedical research applications.

Metal-catalyzed oxidation of protein methionine residues in human parathyroid hormone (1-34): formation of homocysteine and a novel methionine-dependent hydrolysis reaction.

Project description:The oxidation of PTH(1-34) catalyzed by ferrous ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is site-specific. The oxidation of PTH(1-34) is localized primarily to the residues Met[8] and His[9]. Beyond the transformation of Met[8] and His[9] into methionine sulfoxide and 2-oxo-histidine, respectively, we observed a hydrolytic cleavage between Met[8] and His[9]. This hydrolysis requires the presence of Fe(II) and oxygen and can be prevented by diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) and phosphate buffer. Conditions leading to this site-specific hydrolysis also promote the transformation of Met[8] into homocysteine, indicating that the hydrolysis and transformation of homocysteine may proceed through a common intermediate.
