Implementation of a protein profiling platform developed as an academic-pharmaceutical industry collaborative effort

As much attention has devoted to the proteome research during the last few years, biomarker discovery has become an increasingly hot area, potentially enabling the development of new assays for diagnosis and prognosis of severe diseases. This is the field of research interest where efforts originating from both academic and industrial groups should jointly work on solutions. In this paper, we would like to demonstrate the fruitful combination of both research domains where the scientific crossroads sprout fresh ideas from the basic research domain and how these are refined and tethered to industrial standards. We will present an approach that is based on novel microfluidic devices, utilizing their benefits in processing small-volume samples. Our biomarker discovery strategy, built around this platform, involves optimized samples processing (based on SPE and sample enrichment) and fast MALDI-MS readout. The identification of novel biomarkers at low-abundance level has been achieved by the utilization of a miniaturized sample handling platform, which offers clean-up and enrichment of proteins in one step. Complete automation has been realized in the form of a unique robotic instrumentation that is able to extract and transfer 96 samples onto standard MALDI target plates with high throughput. The developed platform was operated with a 60 sample turnaround per hour allowing sensitivities in femtomol regions of medium- and low-abundant target proteins from clinical studies on samples of multiple sclerosis and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Several proteins have been identified as new biomarkers from cerebrospinal fluid and esophagus epithelial cells.     

Digestion of Enolase and Carbonic Anhydrase as Model Proteins for Therapeutic Proteins in Blood Plasma with Immobilized Thermolysin and Quantification of Some of the Peptides by LC/LC–MS/MS

There is a need for fast method development in the early drug discovery phase of therapeutic proteins. Thermolysin has not been used for quantification of proteins in blood plasma earlier. It is a thermostable protease which permits the use of high temperatures for fast hydrolysis of proteins. Model proteins were digested with immobilized thermolysin on agarose gel. Protein-specific peptides were selected for quantitation and quantified based on stable isotope dilution. Protein digests of blood plasma were cleaned and separated using an automated LC/LC–MS/MS system. Essential digestion parameters that influence thermolysin hydrolytic activity were optimized for high peptide yield. The validated methods were selective, linear, precise and accurate with a limit of detection of 2 nM for both proteins. The proposed strategy for method development could be valuable for quantification of proteins in blood plasma samples. The study underscores and discusses important features of the enzymatic digestion and chromatographic separation.     

毛细管电泳-质谱联用技术及其在蛋白质组学中的应用

蛋白质组学研究在生物学、精准医学等方面发挥着重要的作用。然而研究面临的巨大挑战来自生物样品的复杂性,因此在质谱（MS）鉴定技术不断革新的同时,发展分离技术以降低样品复杂度尤为重要。毛细管电泳（CE）技术具有上样体积小、分离效率高、分离速度快等优势,其与质谱的联用在蛋白质组学研究中越来越受到关注。低流速鞘流液和无鞘流液接口的发展及商品化推动了CE-MS技术的发展。目前毛细管区带电泳（CZE）、毛细管等电聚焦（CIEF）、毛细管电色谱（CEC）等分离模式已与质谱联用,其中CZE-MS应用最广泛。目前被广泛采用的蛋白质组学研究策略主要是基于酶解肽段分离鉴定的"自下而上（bottom-up）"策略。首先,CE-MS技术对酶解肽段的检测灵敏度高达1 zmol,已成功应用于单细胞蛋白质组学;其次,毛细管电泳技术与反相液相色谱互补,为疏水性质相近的肽段（尤其是翻译后修饰肽段）的分离鉴定提供了新的途径。基于整体蛋白质分离鉴定的自上而下"top-down"策略可以直接获得更精准、更完整的蛋白质信息。CE技术在蛋白质大分子的分离方面具有分离效率高、回收率高的优势,其与质谱的联用提高了整体蛋白质的鉴定灵敏度和覆盖度。非变性质谱（native MS）是一种在近生理条件下从完整蛋白质复合物水平上进行分析的质谱技术。CE与非变性质谱联用已被尝试用于蛋白质复合体的分离鉴定。该文引用了与CE-MS和蛋白质组学应用相关的93篇文献,综述了以上介绍的CE-MS的研究进展以及在蛋白质组学分析中的应用优势,并总结和展望了其应用前景。     

Enzymatic reaction of the immobilized enzyme on porous silicon studied by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry

Desorption/ionization on silicon mass spectrometry (DIOS-MS) is a matrix-free technique that allows for the direct desorption/ionization of low-molecular-weight compounds with little or no fragmentation of analytes. This technique has a relatively high tolerance for contaminants commonly found in biological samples. DIOS-MS has been applied to determine the activity of immobilized enzymes on the porous silicon surface. Enzyme activities were also monitored with the addition of a competitive inhibitor in the substrate solution. It is demonstrated that this method can be applied to the screening of enzyme inhibitors. Furthermore, a method for peptide mapping analysis by in situ digestion of proteins on the porous silicon surface modified by trypsin, combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-MS has been developed.     

Micro-high-performance liquid chromatography platform for the depletion of high-abundance proteins and subsequent on-line concentration/capturing of medium and low-abundance proteins from serum. Application to profiling of protein expression in healthy and osteoarthritis sera by 2-D gel electrophoresis

In this investigation, an integrated microcolumn-based fluidic platform for the simultaneous depletion of high-abundance proteins and the subsequent on-line concentration/capturing of medium- and low-abundance proteins from human serum has been introduced. The platform consists of on-line coupling of tandem affinity micorcolumns to an RP microcolumn to achieve first the depletion of high-abundance proteins by the tandem affinity microcolumns followed by the concentration and capturing of medium- and low-abundance proteins by the RP microcolumn. The tandem affinity microcolumns are based on macroporous monoliths characterized by their relatively high permeability in pressure-driven flow while the RP microcolumn is packed with polymeric particles with an average particle diameter of 20 microm giving rise to a very little back pressure, thus allowing fast flow velocity across the coupled columns format and consequently short processing time of serum samples prior to analysis by 2-DE. The microcolumn-based fluidic platform was applied to serum samples from osteoarthritis (OA) donors before and after soy protein (SP) supplementation, and from healthy donors, and the resulting depleted serum samples from high-abundance proteins were profiled for protein expression by 2-DE. In general, the protein expression was lower in serum of the same OA patient after soy treatment than before soy treatment. Several proteins were down-regulated after soy treatment with transthyretin being the most affected by the SP supplementation. In addition, with respect to serum from healthy donors, the sera from OA patients showed difference in proteins expression.     

Plasma protein fractions in healthy blood donors quantitated by an automated multicapillary electrophoresis system

During the last decade, capillary electrophoresis (CE) has emerged as an important alternative to traditional analysis of serum and plasma proteins by agarose or celluloseacetate electrophoresis. CE analysis of plasma proteins can now be fully automated and also includes bar-code identification of samples, preseparation steps, and direct post-separation quantitation of individual peaks, which permits short assay times and high throughput. For laboratory work, it is important to have reference values from healthy individuals. Therefore, plasma samples from 156 healthy blood donors (79 females and 77 males) have been analyzed with the Capillarys instrument and the new high resolution buffer, which yields higher resolution than the beta1-beta2+ buffer. Albumin concentrations in samples are measured using nephelometry in order to assign protein concentrations to each peak. The 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles for both the percentages of different peaks and the protein concentrations in the peaks are calculated according to the recommendations of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry on the statistical treatment of reference values. The Capillarys instrument is a reliable system for plasma protein analysis, combining advantages of full automation with high analytical performances and throughput.     

Frequency doubling scattering and second-order scattering spectra of phosphato-molybdate heteropoly acid-protein system and their analytical application

In the sulfuric acid medium, the reaction of heteropoly compounds with proteins could result in the enhancement of frequency doubling scattering (FDS) and second-order scattering (SOS). Based on the characteristic, a novel method for the determination of trace amounts of protein by using the FDS and SOS method has been developed. Their maximum scattering wavelengths, lambda(ex)/lambda(em), appear at 940/470 nm for FDS and 350/700 nm for SOS, respectively. In a certain range, the concentration of proteins is directly proportional to the enhanced intensity of FDS and SOS. The suitable reaction conditions, affecting factors as well as the influence of some coexisiting substances were investigated. The methods exhibited high sensitivity, and the detection limits were in the range of 8.6-39.3 ng ml(-1) depending on different methods. The method had good selectivity, and was applied to the determination of protein in synthetic samples and practical samples with satisfactory results.     

Gel permeation for the on line removal of proteins from plasma samples prior to HPLC

Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) has been investigated for the on line removal of proteins from plasma samples prior to their analysis by HPLC. The results show that GPC is a mild and effective way to remove proteins from plasma samples. It can very well be coupled on line to HPLC, providing the solutes are suitable for preconcentration on the analytical column itself or on a small pre-column, after the GPC. Under these conditions excellent reproducibility and accuracy can be obtained.

Protein separation using a novel silica-based RPLC/IEC stationary phase modified with N-methylimidazolium ionic liquid

Ionic liquids (ILs) immobilized on silica as novel high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) stationary phases have attracted considerable attention. However, it has not been applied to protein separation. In this paper, N-methylimidazolium IL-modified silica-based stationary phase (SilprMim) was prepared and investigated as a novel multi-interaction stationary phase charged positively for protein separation. The results indicate that all of the basic proteins tested cannot be absorbed on this novel stationary phase, whereas all of the acidic proteins tested can be retained, and the baseline separation of eight kinds of acidic protein standards can be achieved when performed in reversed phase/ ion-exchange chromatography (RPLC/IEC) mode. Compared with commonly used commercial octadecylated silica (ODS) column, the novel stationary phase can show selectivity and good resolution to acidic proteins, which has a promising application in the separation and analyses of acidic proteins from the complex samples in proteomics. In addition, the chromatographic behavior of proteins, the effect of the ligand structure and the retention mechanism on this stationary phase were also investigated.
