聚(2-甲基-2-■唑啉)在毛细管电泳分离蛋白质中的应用

毛细管电泳作为一种常见的液相分离技术,因其分析速度快、分离效率高、样品消耗量少等特点,在蛋白质分离分析领域有广泛应用。然而,常用的熔融硅毛细管容易吸附蛋白质,导致电渗流不稳定,分离结果重现性变差;此外,商用毛细管电泳中常用的紫外检测器由于光程短,使得毛细管电泳的检测灵敏度往往不能达到低丰度蛋白质的直接分析要求。因此寻找能够阻止蛋白质吸附、同时能够提高检测灵敏度的涂层是毛细管电泳分离分析蛋白质的重要课题之一。聚(2-甲基-2-■唑啉)(PMOXA)作为一种类肽类亲水性聚合物,具有与抗蛋白质吸附聚合物聚乙二醇类似的亲水性、抗蛋白质吸附性和生物相容性,而且其类肽结构使之具有较聚乙二醇更好的稳定性,因此近年来在生物质传递、药物载体和阻抗蛋白质吸附等领域得到越来越多的应用。该文主要从两个方面对聚(2-甲基-2-■唑啉)在毛细管电泳中的应用进行了阐述。一是利用多巴胺作为黏合层将其涂覆在毛细管内壁作为抗蛋白质吸附涂层,这种涂层不仅能成功分离多种蛋白质的混合物(如溶菌酶、细胞色素C、核糖核酸酶A和α-胰凝乳蛋白酶原A),而且在定量检测奶粉中三聚氰胺、乳铁蛋白的过程中,能阻抗其他蛋白质的非特异性吸附,提高了毛细管电泳对奶粉中三聚氰胺、乳铁蛋白的检测效率。二是将其与具有刺激响应性的聚合物(如聚丙烯酸)构成二元混合刷涂层,在一定的pH和离子强度条件下,涂层可吸附目标蛋白质(如牛血清白蛋白、溶菌酶),在另一pH和离子强度条件下可将吸附的目标蛋白质全部释放,同时在释放过程中,处于涂层表面的聚(2-甲基-2-■唑啉)会进一步阻止蛋白质的吸附,释放的蛋白质在电渗流和电泳的双重作用下快速迁移,到达检测器的蛋白质瞬时浓度大大增加,使目标蛋白质得到富集,目标蛋白质的检测信号得到放大,从而达到了提高低丰度蛋白质检测灵敏度的目的。此外,该文还对聚(2-甲基-2-■唑啉)在毛细管电泳分离蛋白质中的未来发展趋势进行了展望。

聚合物涂层在毛细管电泳分离蛋白中的研究进展

毛细管电泳具有分析时间短,分离效率高,样品消耗量少等优点,在生物样品分离,特别是蛋白质分析领域有重要应用。然而,毛细管内壁硅羟基的解离给分离结果带来诸多不良影响。聚合物涂层能够抑制蛋白质在毛细管内壁的吸附以及调控电渗流,故对毛细管内壁进行有效修饰能够提高其对蛋白质的分离效率及分离稳定性。该文主要综述了动态及静态聚合物涂层毛细管的最新研究进展,并概述了近些年基于多巴胺/聚多巴胺发展起来的涂层毛细管的研究进展,最后展望了聚合物涂层毛细管的发展趋势。     

聚合物涂层技术在毛细管电泳分离蛋白质中的应用

影响毛细管电泳分离蛋白质效率和重现性的主要原因是毛细管壁对蛋白质的吸附.本文综述了解决这一问题的途径,包括极端pH值法、添加小分子添加剂、对毛细管内壁改性等方法,重点介绍并比较了用于毛细管内壁改性的两类聚合物涂层-化学键合和物理吸附的涂层.分别讨论了两类涂层在对电渗流的抑制和调节、对蛋白质吸附的阻止等方面的作用效果,并且对同种涂覆机理下不同聚合物的涂覆效果做了相关比较.总体上说,物理吸附的涂层比化学键合的涂层性能优越,因此在毛细管涂覆领域更受欢迎.尽管目前该领域的工作取得了较大进展,但仍未找到一种对所有种类蛋白质的分离都有效的普适性涂层,因此未来的一段时间内分离复杂组分的蛋白质仍面临着挑战.

PMOXA/PAA Brushes toward on-Line Preconcentration for BSA in Capillary Electrophoresis

In this work, a binary-mixed-brushes-coated (BBC) capillary with switchable protein adsorption/desorption properties was developed and applied for on-line preconcentration of proteins. Firstly, amine-terminated poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMOXA-NH₂) and thiolterminated poly(acrylic acid) (PAA-SH) were synthesized by using cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) and reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, respectively. Then, the BBC capillary based on poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMOXA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was prepared by sequentially grafting of PMOXA-NH₂ and PAA-SH onto fused-silica capillary inner surface through poly(dopamine) (PDA) as an anchor. The obtained PMOXA/PAA coating formed on the capillary or capillary's raw material was characterized in terms of the thickness, surface chemical composition by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS). The switchable protein adsorption/desorption performance of the BBC capillary was investigated by using fluorescence microscope under di erent solutions with certain pH and ionic strength(I). The results showed that bovine serum albumin (BSA) could be adsorbed on BBC capillary at pH=5.0 (I=10^-5 mol/L), and then the adsorbed BSA could be released at pH=9.0 (I=0.1 mol/L). This switchable protein adsorption/desorption property of coated capillary was then used to preconcentrate proteins on-line for increasing the detection sensitivity of BSA in capillary electrophoresis (CE). With this method, a sensitivity enhancement factor (SEF) more than 5000 for BSA detection was obtained.     

The preparation of a novel polydopamine-graft-poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) protein-resistant coating and its applications in protein separation

A novel polydopamine-graft-poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)(PDA-g-PMOXA) coating was prepared by immobilizing poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)(PMOXA) onto material surfaces through polydopamine (PDA) anchored coating for the first time.And then,the chemical composition,hydrophilicity,and protein-resistant properties of the PDA-g-PMOXA coating were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),contact angel(CA) test,surface plasmon resonance(SPR),and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation(QCM-D) measurement.Finally,the coating was applied to the capillary inner surface for protein separation by capillary electrophoresis(CE).     

Determination of pepsin by capillary electrophoresis using mixed polymer coated capillary with switchable properties toward protein adsorption/desorption

In this work, a simple online preconcentration method for quantitative detection of pepsin was realized by using the binary mixed polymer brushes coated capillary with switchable properties toward protein adsorption. Firstly, the binary mixed polymer brushes were prepared by grafting poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) and poly(4-vinylpyridine) onto the inner wall of the capillary through a polydopamine anchor. Then the coatings were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectrometer and electroosmotic flow measurement. The results indicated that the composition of coating could be controlled by varying the feed ratio of poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) to poly(4-vinylpyridine) and the inner surface charge could be tuned toward the change of pH and ionic strength. The results showed that when the poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)/poly(4-vinylpyridine) mass ratio was 80/20, the highest online preconcentration effect was obtained and the sensitivity enhancement factor was 6.3. Moreover, satisfactory sensitivity (limit of detection: 7.5 ng/mL) and good repeatability were obtained with the online preconcentration method. The polymer-coated capillary was still stable for online preconcentration and detection of pepsin after 50 consecutive runs. Last, the proposed method was used successfully to online preconcentrate pepsin in the saliva matrix.     

Enantioseparation by CE with vancomycin as chiral selector: Improving the separation performance by dynamic coating of the capillary with poly(dimethylacrylamide)

An approach for improving the separation performance of the enantioseparation by CE with vancomycin as chiral selector is described. In the present method, a solution of poly(dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) was used for dynamic coating of the capillary wall to minimize the adsorption of vancomycin onto the capillary wall, and to depress the EOF. Compared with the bare fused-silica capillaries and the capillaries coated with the polycationic polymer hexadimethrine bromide (HDB), the PDMA-coated capillary displayed the best separation performance. The resulting coating could withstand hundreds of runs without losing its function. Moreover, a partial filling technique was applied to avoid interference in detection caused by the presence of vancomycin in the buffer. The separation time was shortened when a short-end-injection technique was applied. Several parameters such as buffer pH, vancomycin concentration and plug length of the vancomycin solution for the separation were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, all tested enantiomers, including FMOC amino acids derivatives, ketoprofen and fenoprofen, were baseline-separated in less than 4.2 min.     

Effect of quasi‐interpenetrating network of polyacrylamide and poly(N,N‐dimethylacrylamide) on separation of dsDNA fragments and basic protein using CE

Quasi‐interpenetrating network (quasi‐IPN) of linear polyacrylamide (LPA) with low molecular mass and poly(N,N‐dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA), which is shown to uniquely combine the superior sieving ability of LPA with the coating ability of PDMA, has been synthesized for application in dsDNA and basic protein separation by CE. The performance of quasi‐IPN on dsDNA separation was determined by polymer concentration, electric field strength, LPA molecular masses and different acrylamide (AM) to N,N‐dimethylacrylamide (DMA) ratio. The results showed that all fragments in Φ×174/HaeIII digest were achieved with a 30 cm effective capillary length at –6 kV at an appropriate polymer solution concentration in bare silica capillaries. Furthermore, EOF measurement results showed that quasi‐IPN exhibited good capillary coating ability, via adsorption from aqueous solution, efficiently suppressing EOF. The effect of the buffer pH values on the separation of basic proteins was investigated in detail. The separation efficiencies and analysis reproducibility demonstrated the good potentiality of quasi‐IPN matrix for suppressing the adsorption of basic proteins onto the silica capillary wall. In addition, when quasi‐IPN was used both as sieving matrix and dynamic coating in bare silica capillaries, higher peak separation efficiencies, and better migration time reproducibility were obtained.     

Cationized hydroxyethylcellulose as a novel, adsorbed coating for basic protein separation by capillary electrophoresis

We present cationized hydroxyethylcellulose (cat-HEC) synthesized in our laboratory as a novel physically adsorbed coating for CE. This capillary coating is simple and easy to obtain as it only requires flushing the capillary with polymer aqueous solution. A comparative study with and without polymers was performed. The adsorbed cat-HEC coating exhibited minimal interactions with basic proteins, providing efficient basic protein separations with excellent reproducibility. Under broad pHs, the amine groups are the main charged groups bringing about a global positive charge on the capillary wall. As a consequence, the cat-HEC coating produced an anodal EOF performance. A comparative study on the use of hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) and cat-HEC as physically adsorbed coatings for CE are also presented. The separation efficiency and analysis reproducibility proved that the cat-HEC polymer was efficient in suppressing the adsorption of basic proteins onto the silica capillary wall. The long-term stability of the cat-HEC coating in consecutive protein separation runs has demonstrated the suitability of the coating for high-throughput electrophoretic protein separations.     

Potential of prodendronic polyamines with modulated segmental charge density as novel coating for fast and efficient analysis of peptides and basic proteins by CE and CE‐MS

In this work, the suitability of a new polymer family has been investigated as capillary coatings for the analysis of peptides and basic proteins by CE. This polymer family has been designed to minimize or completely prevent protein–capillary wall interactions and to modify the EOF. These coating materials are linear polymeric chains bearing as side cationizable moiety a dentronic triamine derived from N,N,N’,N’‐tetraethyldiethylenetriamine (TEDETA), which is linked to the backbone through a spacer (unit labeled as TEDETAMA). Four different polymers have been prepared and evaluated: a homopolymer which comprised only of those cationizable repetitive units of TEDETAMA, and three copolymers that randomly incorporate TEDETAMA together with neutral hydrosoluble units of N‐(2‐hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) at different molar percentages (25:75, 50:50 and 75:25). It has been demonstrated that the composition of the copolymers influences the EOF and therefore the separation of the investigated biopolymers. Among the novel polymers studied, poly‐(TEDETAMA‐co‐HPMA) 50:50 copolymer was successfully applied as coating material of the inner capillary surface in CE‐UV and CE‐MS, providing EOF reversing together with fast and efficient baseline separation of peptides and basic proteins. Finally, the feasibility of the polymer‐coated capillary was shown through the analysis of lysozyme in a cheese sample.     

Influence of polyelectrolyte capillary coating conditions on protein analysis in CE

CE of biomolecules is limited by analyte adsorption on the capillary wall. To prevent this, monolayer or successive multiple ionic‐polymer layers (SMILs) of highly charged polyelectrolytes can be physically adsorbed on the inner capillary surface. Although these coatings have become commonly used in CE, no systematic investigation of their performance under different coating conditions has been carried out so far. In a previous study (Nehmé, R., Perrin, C., Cottet, H., Blanchin, M. D., Fabre, H., Electrophoresis 2008, 29, 3013–3023), we investigated the influence of different experimental parameters on coating stability, repeatability and peptide peak efficiency. Optimal coating conditions for monolayer and multilayer (SMILs) poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride/ poly(sodium 4‐styrenesulfonate) coated capillaries were determined. In this study, the influence of polyelectrolyte concentration and ionic strength of the coating solutions, and the number of coating layers on coating stability and performance in limiting protein adsorption was carried out. EOF magnitude and repeatability were used to monitor coating stability. Coating ability to limit protein adsorption was investigated by monitoring variations of migration times, time‐corrected peak areas and separation efficiency of test proteins. The separation performance of polyelectrolyte coatings were compared with those obtained with bare silica capillaries.
