Determination of 13-cis-Retinoic Acid and Its Metabolites in Plasma by Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography Using Cyclodextrin-Assisted Sweeping for Sample Preconcentration.

ABSTRACT: The online preconcentration technique, cyclodextrin-assisted sweeping (CD-sweeping), coupled with micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) was established to determine 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cis-RA), all-trans-retinoic acid (all-trans-RA) and 4-oxo-13-cis-retinoic acid (4-oxo-13-cis-RA) in human plasma. A CD-sweeping buffer (45 mM borate (pH 9.2), containing 80 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 22 mM hydroxypropyl β-CD (HP-β-CD) was introduced into the capillary and, then, the sample dissolved in 70 mM borate (pH 9.2): methanol = 9:1 (v/v) was injected into capillary by pressure. The separation voltage was 23 kV. Compared to the conventional cyclodextrin-micellar electrokinetic chromatography (CD-MEKC) method, the new technique achieved 224-257-fold sensitivity enrichment of analytes. The limits of detection of 13-cis-RA, all-trans-RA were 1 ng/mL, whereas that of 4-oxo-13-cis-RA was 25 ng/mL in plasma. The linear ranges of 13-cis-RA, all-trans-RA were between 15 and 1000 ng/mL, whereas that of 4-oxo-13-cis-RA was between 75 and 1500 ng/mL. The coefficient of correlation between the concentration of analytes and peak area ratio of analytes and internal standard (2, 4-dihydroxy-benzophenone) for intra-day (n = 3) and inter-day (n = 5) analyses were both greater than 0.999. The optimized experimental conditions were successfully applied to determine 13-cis-retinoic acid and its metabolites in plasma samples from a patient during the administration of 13-cis-RA for treating acne.

Identification of PCR products using PNA amphiphiles in micellar electrokinetic chromatography.

Project description:We present a method to identify single-stranded PCR products of varying lengths by hybridization of n-alkylated peptide nucleic acids (PNA amphiphiles) to the products, followed by separation with micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). These end-attached PNA amphiphiles (PNAA) partition to nonionic micelles in the running buffer (Triton X-100), linking the tagged DNA to the micellar drag-tag. This linkage shifts the electrophoretic mobility of a tagged component away from both untagged DNA and tagged DNA of different lengths. The mobility of the tagged DNA is established by its extent of partitioning to the micelle phase as well as its size relative to the attached micelle. A model is presented that can be used to determine the length of an unknown oligomer given an experimentally obtained mobility. We find that the collective action of micelles that transiently attach to the tagged DNA impart about the same hydrodynamic drag as covalently bound "drag-tags" of a similar size. With the use of the PNAA-MEKC method, PCR products of 88, 134, 216, and 447 bases are clearly resolved in less than 5 min. To our knowledge, this work represents the first use of surfactant micelles as drag-tags to separate DNA in capillary electrophoresis. Furthermore, the PNAA tag only attaches to DNA containing a target sequence, helping ensure that only the desired PCR products are analyzed.

Metabolic characteristics of 13-cis-retinoic acid (isotretinoin) and anti-tumour activity of the 13-cis-retinoic acid metabolite 4-oxo-13-cis-retinoic acid in neuroblastoma.

Project description:Background and purposeIsotretinoin (13-cis-retinoic acid; 13-cRA) is a differentiation inducer used to treat minimal residual disease after myeloablative therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma. However, more than 40% of children develop recurrent disease during or after 13-cRA treatment. The plasma concentrations of 13-cRA in earlier studies were considered subtherapeutic while 4-oxo-13-cis-RA (4-oxo-13-cRA), a metabolite of 13-cRA considered by some investigators as inactive, were greater than threefold higher than 13-cRA. We sought to define the metabolic pathways of 13-cRA and investigated the anti-tumour activity of its major metabolite, 4-oxo-13-cRA.Experimental approachEffects of 13-cRA and 4-oxo-13-cRA on human neuroblastoma cell lines were assessed by DIMSCAN and flow cytometry for cell proliferation, MYCN down-regulation by reverse transcription PCR and immunoblotting, and neurite outgrowth by confocal microscopy. 13-cRA metabolism was determined using tandem MS in human liver microsomes and in patient samples.Key resultsSix major metabolites of 13-cRA were identified in patient samples. Of these, 4-oxo-13-cRA was the most abundant, and 4-oxo-13-cRA glucuronide was also detected at a higher level in patients. CYP3A4 was shown to play a major role in catalysing 13-cRA to 4-oxo-13-cRA. In human neuroblastoma cell lines, 4-oxo-13-cRA and 13-cRA were equi-effective at inducing neurite outgrowth, inhibiting proliferation, decreasing MYCN mRNA and protein, and increasing the expression of retinoic acid receptor-? mRNA and protein levels.Conclusions and implicationsWe showed that 4-oxo-13-cRA is as active as 13-cRA against neuroblastoma cell lines. Plasma levels of both 13-cRA and 4-oxo-13-cRA should be evaluated in pharmacokinetic studies of isotretinoin in neuroblastoma.

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography method for measuring amino acid secretions from islets of Langerhans.

Project description:Islets of Langerhans are responsible for maintaining glucose homeostasis through regulated secretion of hormones and other factors. It is hypothesized that amino acids secreted from islets play a critical role in cell functionality and viability. For example, glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid have been proposed to work as paracrine signaling molecules within islets to coordinate the release of hormone secretion; other amino acids, such as glutamine, leucine, alanine, and arginine, have been shown to stimulate or potentiate glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. To characterize the potential roles that these small molecules may play in islet physiology, derivatization of amino acids in high-salt buffers commonly used in islet experiments with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde and MEKC separation conditions were optimized. The optimized conditions used d-norvaline as the internal standard and allowed quantification of 14 amino acids with LODs ranging from 0.2 to 7 nM. The RSDs of the migration times were 0.04-0.54% and the RSDs of the peak areas were 0.2-5.8% for the various amino acids. The effects of glucose and 2,4-dinitrophenol on amino acid secretions from islets were tested and a suppressive effect of glucose on gamma-aminobutyric acid release was observed, likely acting through adenosine triphosphate inactivation of glutamate decarboxylase.

Chiral micellar electrokinetic chromatography-atmospheric pressure photoionization of benzoin derivatives using mixed molecular micelles.

Project description:In the present work we report, for the first time, the successful on-line coupling of chiral MEKC (CMEKC) to atmospheric pressure photoionization MS (APPI-MS). Four structurally similar neutral test solutes (e.g. benzoin (BNZ) derivatives) were successfully ionized by APPI-MS. The mass spectra in the positive ion mode showed that the protonated molecular ions of BNZs are not the most abundant fragment ions. Simultaneous enantioseparation by CMEKC and on-line APPI-MS detection of four photoinitiators, hydrobenzoin, BNZ, benzoin methyl ether, benzoin ethyl ether, were achieved using an optimized molar ratio of mixed molecular micelle of two polymeric chiral surfactants (polysodium N-undecenoxy carbonyl-L-leucinate and polysodium N-undecenoyl-L,L-leucylvalinate). The CMEKC conditions, such as voltage, chiral polymeric surfactant concentration, buffer pH, and BGE concentration, were optimized using a multivariate central composite design (CCD). The sheath liquid composition (involving %v/v methanol, dopant concentration, electrolyte additive concentration, and flow rate) and spray chamber parameters (drying gas flow rate, drying gas temperature, and vaporizer temperature) were also optimized with CCD. Models built based on the CCD results and response surface method were used to analyze the interactions between factors and their effects on the responses. The final overall optimum conditions for CMEKC-APPI-MS were also predicted and found in agreement with the experimentally optimized parameters.

Development of a chiral micellar electrokinetic chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay for simultaneous analysis of warfarin and hydroxywarfarin metabolites: application to the analysis of patients serum samples.

Project description:The enantioseparation of warfarin (WAR) along with the five positional and optical isomers is challenging because of the difficulty to simultaneously separate and quantitate these chiral compounds. Currently, no effective chiral CE-MS methods exist for the simultaneous enantioseparation of WAR and all its hydroxylated metabolites in a single run. Polymeric surfactants (aka. molecular micelles) are particularly compatible with micellar electrokinetic chromatography-mass spectrometry (MEKC-MS) because they have a wider elution window for enantioseparation and do not interfere with the MS detection of chiral drugs. Using polysodium N-undecenoyl-L,L-leucylvalinate (poly-L,L-SULV) as a chiral pseudophase in MEKC-MS baseline separation of WAR, its five metabolites along with the internal standard was obtained in 45 min. This is in comparison to 100 min required for separation of the same mixture with packed column CEC-MS using a vancomycin chiral stationary phase. Serum samples were extracted with mixed-mode anion-exchange (MAX) cartridge with recoveries of greater than 85.2% for all WAR and hydroxywarfarin (OH-WAR) metabolites. Utilizing the tandem MS and multiple reaction monitoring mode, the MEKC-MS/MS method was used to simultaneously generate calibration curves over a concentration range from 2 to 5000 ng/mL for R- and S-warfarin, 5 to 1000 ng/mL for R- and S-6-, 7-, 8- and 10-OH-WAR and 10 to 1000 ng/mL for R and S-4'-OH-WAR. For the first time, the limits of detection and quantitation for most WAR metabolites by MEKC-MS/MS were found to be at levels of 2 and 5 ng/mL, respectively. The method was successfully applied for the first time to analyze WAR and its metabolites in plasma samples of 55 patients undergoing WAR therapy, demonstrating the potential of chiral MEKC-MS/MS method to accurately quantitate with high sensitivity.

Synthesis, characterization, and application of polysodium N-alkylenyl α-d-glucopyranoside surfactants for micellar electrokinetic chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Project description:Sugar-based ionic surfactants forming micelles are known to suppress ESI of various compounds due to decrease in surface tension upon micelle formation . For the first time, poly (sodium N-undecylenyl-α-d-glucopyranoside 4,6-hydrogen phosphate, (poly-α-d-SUGP) based surfactants with different chain lengths and head groups have been successfully synthesized, characterized, and applied as compatible chiral selector for MEKC-ESI-MS/MS. First, the effect of polymerization concentration of the monomer, α-d-SUGP, was evaluated by enantioseparation of one anionic compound (1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'diyl-hydrogen phosphate) and one zwitterionic compound (dansylated phenylalanine) in MEKC-UV to find the optimum molar surfactant concentration for polymerization. Next, MEKC-UV and MEKC-MS were compared for the enantioseparation of 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'diyl-hydrogen phosphate. The influence of polymeric glucopyranoside based surfactant head groups and carbon chain lengths on chiral Rs was evaluated for two classes of cationic drugs (ephedrine alkaloids and β-blockers). Finally, enantioselective MEKC-MS of ephedrine alkaloids and β-blockers were profiled at their optimum pH 5.0 and 7.0, respectively, using 20 mM NH4 OAc, 25 mM poly-α-d-SUGP at 30 kV and 25°C under optimum spray chamber conditions. The LOD for most of the enantiomers ranges from 10 to 100 ng/mL with S/N of at least ≥3.0.

13-cis retinoic acid inhibits development and progression of chronic allograft nephropathy.

Project description:Chronic allograft nephropathy is characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis. Because retinoids exhibit anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic functions, the effects of low and high doses of 13-cis-retinoic acid (13cRA) were studied in a chronic Fisher344-->Lewis transplantation model. In 13cRA animals, independent of dose (2 or 20 mg/kg body weight/day) and start (0 or 14 days after transplantation) of 13cRA administration, serum creatinine was significantly lower and chronic rejection damage was dramatically reduced, including subendothelial fibrosis of preglomerular vessels and chronic tubulointerstitial damage. The number of infiltrating mononuclear cells and their proliferative activity were significantly diminished. The mRNA expression of chemokines (MCP-1/CCL2, MIP-1alpha/CCL3, IP-10/CXCL10, RANTES/CCL5) and proteins associated with fibrosis (plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, transforming growth factor-beta1, and collagens I and III) were strikingly lower in treated allografts. In vitro, activated peritoneal macrophages of 13cRA-treated rats showed a pronounced decrease in protein secretion of inflammatory cytokines (eg, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6). The suppression of the proinflammatory chemokine RANTES/CCL5 x 13cRA in fibroblasts could be mapped to a promoter module comprising IRF-1 and nuclear factor-kappaB binding elements, but direct binding of retinoid receptors to promoter elements could be excluded. In summary, 13cRA acted as a potent immunosuppressive and anti-fibrotic agent able to prevent and inhibit progression of chronic allograft nephropathy.

Improvement of derivatized amino acid detection sensitivity in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography by means of acid-induced pH-mediated stacking technique.

Project description:Derivatization is a frequently used sample preparation procedure applicable to the enhancement of analyte detection sensitivity. Amino acids mostly require derivatization prior to electrophoretic or chromatographic analysis, especially if spectrophotometric detection is used. This study presents an on-line preconcentration technique for derivatized amino acids. The sensitivity of the method was improved by the utilization of the proposed acid-induced pH-mediated stacking mechanism. The method is demonstrated by preconcentration of amino acids labeled with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene. Use of optimized conditions for a large sample volume injection (40 s, 13.8 kPa) followed by electrokinetic injection of 0.1 M HCl (20 s, 10 kV) gave a 20- to 30-fold enhancement of sensitivity. The significance of the sweeping mechanism and pseudo-isotachophoresis for the on-line sample focusing and the influence of parameters on the preconcentration process were discussed. The applicability of the elaborated method was demonstrated using human urine samples.

The influence of 13-cis retinoic acid on human meibomian gland epithelial cells.

Project description:PurposeMeibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a primary cause of dry eye disease. One of the risk factors for MGD is exposure to 13-cis retinoic acid (13-cis RA), a metabolite of vitamin A. However, the mechanism is not well understood. We hypothesize that 13-cis RA inhibits cell proliferation, promotes cell death, alters gene and protein expressions, and attenuates cell survival pathways in human meibomian gland epithelial cells.MethodsTo test our hypotheses, immortalized human meibomian gland epithelial cells were cultured with or without 13-cis RA for varying doses and time. Cell proliferation, cell death, gene expression, and proteins involved in proliferation/survival and inflammation were evaluated.ResultsWe found that 13-cis RA inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell death, and significantly altered the expression of 6726 genes, including those involved in cell proliferation, cell death, differentiation, keratinization, and inflammation, in human meibomian gland epithelial cells. Further, 13-cis RA also reduced the phosphorylation of Akt and increased the generation of interleukin-1β and matrix metallopeptidase 9.ConclusionsExposure to 13-cis RA inhibits cell proliferation, increases cell death, alters gene expression, changes signaling pathways, and promotes inflammatory mediator and protease expression in meibomian gland epithelial cells. These effects may be responsible, at least in part, for the 13-cis RA-related induction of MGD.
