Zirconium arsenate-modified magnetic nanoparticles: preparation, characterization and application to the enrichment of phosphopeptides

Phosphorylation, one of the most important post-translational modifications of protein, plays a crucial role in a large number of biological processes. Large-scale identification of protein phosphorylation by mass spectrometry is still a challenging task because of the low abundance of phosphopeptides and sub-stoichiometry of phosphorylation. In this work, a novel strategy based on the specific affinity of zirconium arsenate to the phosphate group has been developed for the effective enrichment of phosphopeptides. Zirconium arsenate-modified magnetic nanoparticles (ZrAs-Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)) were prepared by covalent immobilization of zirconium arsenate on Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2) magnetic nanoparticles under mild conditions, and characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The prepared ZrAs-Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2) was applied for the selective enrichment of phosphopeptides from the digestion mixture of phosphoproteins and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Our results demonstrated that the ZrAs-Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2) magnetic nanoparticles possess higher selectivity for phosphopeptides and better capture capability towards multiply-phosphorylated peptides than commercial zirconium dioxide (ZrO(2)), which has been widely employed for the enrichment of phosphopeptides. In addition, endogenous phosphopeptides from human serum can be effectively captured by ZrAs-Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2) magnetic nanoparticles. It is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, in which the zirconium arsenate-modified magnetic nanoparticles were successfully applied to the enrichment of phosphopeptides, which offers the potential application of this new material in phosphoproteomics study.     

Encapsulation of superparamagnetic Fe3O4@SiO2 core/shell nanoparticles in MnO2 microflowers with high surface areas

Microflowers made of interconnected MnO₂ nanosheets have been successfully synthesized in a microwave reactor through a hydrothermal reduction of KMnO₄ with aqueous HCI at elevated temperatures in the presence of superparamagnetic Fe₃O₄SiO₂ core-shell nanoparticles.Due to the chemical compatibility between SiO₂ and MnO₂,the heterogeneous reaction leads to the spontaneous encapsulation of the Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ core-shell nanoparticles in the MnO₂ microflowers.The resulting hybrid particles exhibit multiple properties including high surface area associated with the MnO₂nanosheets and superparamagnetism originated from the Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ core-shell nanoparticles.which are beneficial for applications requiring both high surface area and magnetic separation.

In this study, a novel on-column enrichment technique filled with C(18)-functionalized magnetic silica nanoparticles was successfully developed for the determination of lidocaine in rat plasma by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The synthesized Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)-C(18) nanoparticles were locally packed into the capillary by the application of magnets. Lidocaine in the sample solutions pumped into the capillary tube could be easily adsorbed by Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)-C(18) through hydrophobic interaction by the interior C(18) groups, and eluted by acetonitrile solution. Different extraction conditions were investigated. Method validations including linear range, quantification limit, detection limit, precision, accuracy and recovery were also studied. The results showed that the proposed method based on on-column enrichment by Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)-C(18) was a novel, little solvent and efficient approach for the determination of lidocaine in the complex plasma samples.

A new ion-exchange adsorbent with paramagnetic properties for the separation of genomic DNA

A new ion-exchange adsorbent (IEA) derived from Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2)-GPTMS-DEAE with paramagnetic properties was prepared. Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles were firstly prepared in water-in-oil microemulsion. The magnetic Fe(3)O(4) particles were modified in situ by hydrolysis and condensation reactions with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) to form the core-shell Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2). The modified particles were further treated by 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) to form Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2)-GPTMS nanoparticles. Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2)-GPTMS-DEAE nanoparticles (IEA) were finally obtained through the condensation reaction between the Cl of diethylaminoethyl chloride-HCl (DEAE) and the epoxy groups of GPTMS in the Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2)-GPTMS. The obtained IEA has features of paramagnetic and ion exchange properties because of the Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles and protonated organic amine in the sample. The intermediates and final product obtained in the synthesis process were characterized. The separation result of genomic DNA from blood indicated that Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2)-GPTMS-DEAE nanoparticles have outstanding advantages in operation, selectivity, and capacity.

The products were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), FTIR and UV-vis absorption spectrometry. The magnetic nanoparticles possess the unique superparamagnetism property, exceptional optical properties and good compatibilities, and could be used as immobilization matrix for goat anti-rabbit IgG.

Synthesis and characterization of multifunctional Fe3O4/poly(fluorescein O-methacrylate) core/shell nanoparticles

Multifunctional fluorescent and superparamagnetic Fe(3)O(4)/poly(fluorescein O-methacrylate) [Fe(3)O(4)/poly(FMA)] nanoparticles with core/shell structure were synthesized via surface-initiated polymerization. First, polymerizable double bonds were introduced onto the surface of Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles via ligand exchange and a condensation reaction. A fluorescent monomer, FMA, was then polymerized to the double bonds at the surface via free-radical polymerization, leading to form a fluorescent polymer shell around the superparamagnetic Fe(3)O(4) core. The resultant Fe(3)O(4)/poly(FMA) nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy to confirm the reactions. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that the Fe(3)O(4)/poly(FMA) nanoparticles have a spherical and monodisperse core/shell morphology. Photoluminescence spectroscopy and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer analyses confirmed that the Fe(3)O(4)/poly(FMA) nanoparticles exhibited fluorescent and superparamagnetic properties, respectively. In addition, we demonstrated the potential bioimaging application of the Fe(3)O(4)/poly(FMA) nanoparticles by visualizing the cellular uptake of the nanoparticles into A549 lung cancer cells.
