Microchip capillary gel electrophoresis combined with lectin affinity enrichment employing magnetic beads for glycoprotein analysis.

ABSTRACT: Due to the constant search for reliable methods to investigate glycoproteins in complex biological samples, an alternative approach combining affinity enrichment with rapid and sensitive analysis on-a-chip is presented. Glycoproteins were specifically captured by lectin-coated magnetic beads, eluted by competitive sugars, and investigated with microchip capillary gel electrophoresis (MCGE), i.e., CGE-on-a-chip. We compared our results to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) data, which turned out to be in very good agreement. While SDS-PAGE offers the possibility of subsequent mass spectrometric analysis of captured and separated analytes, MCGE scores with time savings, higher throughput, and lower sample consumption as well as quality control (QC) and process analytical technology (PAT) applicability. Due to these advantages, a lectin-based glycoprotein capture protocol can easily be optimized. In our case, two different types of magnetic beads were tested and compared regarding lectin binding. The selectivity of our strategy was demonstrated with a set of model glycoproteins, as well as with human serum and serum depleted from high-abundance proteins. The specificity of the capturing method was investigated revealing to a certain degree an unspecific binding between each sample and the beads themselves, which has to be considered for any specific enrichment and data interpretation. In addition, two glycoproteins from Trichoderma atroviride, a fungus with mycoparasitic activity and only barely studied glycoproteome, were enriched by means of a lectin and so identified for the first time. Graphical abstract Glycoproteins from biological samples were detected by microchip capillary gel electrophoresis after lectin affinity enrichment using magnetic beads and elution with respective competitive monosaccharides.

Project description:The lack of effective screening strategies for high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), a subtype of ovarian cancer (OC) responsible for 70-80% of OC related deaths, emphasizes the need for new diagnostic markers and a better understanding of disease pathogenesis. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) offers high selectivity and sensitivity for ionic compounds, thereby enhancing biomarker discovery. Recent advances in CE-MS include small, chip-based CE systems coupled with nanoelectrospray ionization (nanoESI) to provide rapid, high-resolution analysis of biological specimens. Here, we describe the development of a targeted microchip (µ) CE-HRMS method, with an acquisition time of only 3 min and sample injection volume of 4nL, to analyze 40 target metabolites in serum samples from a triple-mutant (TKO) mouse model of HGSC. Extracted ion electropherograms showed sharp, baseline resolved peak shapes, even for structural isomers such as leucine and isoleucine. All calibration curves of the analytes maintained good linearity with an average R2 of 0.994, while detection limits were in the nM range. Thirty metabolites were detected in mouse serum with recoveries ranging from 78 to 120%, indicating minimal ionization suppression and good accuracy. We applied the µCE-HRMS method to biweekly-collected serum samples from TKO and TKO control mice. A time-resolved analysis revealed characteristic temporal trends for amino acids, nucleosides, and amino acid derivatives. These metabolic alterations are indicative of altered nucleotide biosynthesis and amino acid metabolism in HGSC development and progression. A comparison of the µCE-HRMS dataset with non-targeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-MS results showed identical temporal trends for the five metabolites detected with both platforms, indicating the µCE-HRMS method performed satisfactorily in terms of capturing metabolic reprogramming due to HGSC progression while reducing the total data collection time three-fold.
