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.     

聚(2-甲基-2-噁唑啉)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-噁唑啉）（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-噁唑啉）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-噁唑啉）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-噁唑啉）在毛细管电泳分离蛋白质中的未来发展趋势进行了展望。

Cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol) as permanent hydrophilic column coating for capillary electrophoresis.

A fast method for the generation of permanent hydrophilic capillary coatings for capillary electrophoresis (CE) is presented. Such interior coating is effected by treating the surface to be coated with a solution of glutaraldehyde as cross-linking agent followed by a solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which results in an immobilization of the polymer on the capillary surface. Applied for capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) such capillaries coated with cross-linked PVA exhibit excellent separation performance of adsorptive analytes like basic proteins due to the reduction of analyte-wall interactions. The long-term stability of cross-linked PVA coatings could be proved in very long series of CZE separations. More than 1000 repetitive CE separations of basic proteins were performed with stable absolute migration times relative standard deviation (RSD > 1.2%) and without loss of separation efficiency. Cross-linked PVA coatings exhibit a suppressed electroosmotic flow and excellent stability over a wide pH range.     

Electrophoretic analysis of proteins and enantiomers using capillaries modified by a successive multiple ionic-polymer layer (SMIL) coating technique

The applicability of three-layer coatings consisting of three different polymers (A⁺-B⁻-C⁺ coating) prepared by a successive multiple ionic-polymer layer (SMIL) coating technique to the immobilization of polypeptides and/or proteins onto the inner surface of the capillaries was investigated to provide a high-performance separation medium for proteins and enantiomers in capillary electrophoresis (CE). To obtain a stable protein-coated capillary, high molecular mass poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) was employed as the first layer in the A⁺-B⁻-C⁺ coating, and then a cationic protein was immobilized as the third layer. Comparisons of analytical performances between the A⁺-B⁻-C⁺ coating and the conventional SMIL-coated (A⁺-B⁻-A⁺ coating) capillary were conducted. The CE separation of cationic proteins was successfully achieved with the prepared capillaries. In addition, the polypeptide- and protein-coated capillaries were applied to the chiral separation of a binaphthyl compound. It should be noted that the chiral separation efficiency was strongly dependent on the second anionic polymer layer of the coating. Effects of the interaction between oppositely charged ionic polymer layers on the separation efficiency are discussed.     

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.     

Rapid separation and laser-induced fluorescence detection of mutated DNA by capillary electrophoresis in a self-coating, low-viscosity polymer matrix

The detection of point and other simple mutations in DNA is important for cancer research and diagnosis and other biological studies. Capillary electrophoresis has been successfully used for separating DNA fragments. However, a low-viscosity polymer sieving buffer for DNA separation with on-line coating has never been reported. In this paper, a new method using capillary electrophoresis with on-line coating and laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF) for screening for point or simple DNA mutations has been demonstrated. The method uses an on-line dynamic coating technique that increases capillary lifetime and analysis reproducibility, and employs a low-viscosity polymer solution, which allows the user to rinse the capillary rapidly and refill with polymer solution easily. Experiments proved that the additives in the separation buffer for on-line capillary coating do not affect the separation efficiency of the running buffer, and do not interfere with the formation of hydrogen-bonded network between boric acid, mannitol and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose polymers. The stability of the dynamically coated capillary was quantitatively studied; the capillary lifetime was increased 6- to 7-fold compared with that of permanently coated CE columns. Standard DNA fragments containing mutations, with sizes of 209, 219, and 338 bps, were successfully separated and detected with this system, after the mutated DNA fragments were cleaved by CEL-I endonuclease. The technique is very sensitive for the size-separation of low-range, middle-range, and high-range DNA fragments. Results were compared with the HPLC methods developed by Transgenomic, Inc. and were in good agreement. The method should be applicable to mutation detection for all relevant biological and clinical studies. The factors influencing separations and the stability of dynamic capillary coatings are also discussed in the paper.

Capillary Electrophoresis of Recombinant Human EPO

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) provides a new analytical tool for the separation of proteins, and almost all traditional modes of electrophoresis can be carry out in CE. But serious adsorption of proteins on capillary wall prohibited the proper separation. Three main approaches are used to overcome adsorption and control electroosmotic flow, (1) buffer of high or low pH,high salt concentration and additives, (2) pre-adsorption of neutral or charged macromolecules on the capillary wall and (3) chemically bonded coatings which are expected to give the best shield of silanol groups present on bare silica by vaious hydrophilic polymers. Capillaries coated with linear polyacrylamide represent the most successful approach available to date. Cross-linkage of polyacrylamide coating is desired to increase its stability.     

Preparation of linear polyacrylamide-coated capillaries: Study of the polymerization process and its effect on capillary electrophoresis performance

The effect of different parameters controlling the characteristics of linear polyacrylamide coatings deposited on the inner wall of fused-silica capillaries and their influence on capillary electrophoresis (CE) performance of these coated columns is investigated. To carry out this study, a reproducible procedure to obtain capillaries with similar extent of modification of the surface silanols with 7-oct-1-enyltrimethoxisilane was first approached. Next the polymer attachment to the silica wall, via covalent linkage to the silyl reagent grafted onto the silica, was investigated. In this way, by using columns with a similar silylation extent, differences in CE performance observed among capillaries coated under diverse conditions could be assigned to the characteristics of the polyacrylamide layer. It is demonstrated that the characteristics and reproducibility of these polymeric coatings depend on the adequate control of both the temperature of polymerization and the degassing of the polymerizing dissolutions used. More interestingly, it is also demonstrated that the quantities of monomer (acrylamide), initiator (ammonium persulfate) and activator (N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine), and the ratio among them used in the preparation of the coating polymer have a large influence on the performance of CE columns. The optimum conditions for preparing the polyacrylamide coatings are discussed. The applicability of these linear polyacrylamide-coated capillaries to the separation of basic and acidic proteins in free zone CE is demonstrated. Besides, the use of these coated columns in capillary gel electrophoresis for the separation of DNA fragments is shown.     

Top-down analysis of basic proteins by microchip capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry

A system of microchip capillary electrophoresis/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (microchip-CE/ESI-MS) for rapid characterization of proteins has been developed. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) enables rapid analysis of a sample present in very small quantity, such as at femtomole levels, at high resolution. Faster CE/MS analysis is expected by downsizing the normal capillary to the microchip (microchip) capillary. Although rapidity and high resolution are advantages of CE separation, electroosmotic flow (EOF) instability caused by the interaction between proteins and the microchannel surface results in low reproducibility in the analysis of basic proteins under neutral pH conditions. By coating the microchannel surface with a basic polymer, polyE-323, basic proteins, which have pI values of over 7.5, could be separated and detected by microchip-CE/MS on quadrupole (Q) and time-of-flight (TOF) hybrid instruments. By increasing the cone and collision voltages during the analysis by microchip-CE/ESI-MS of a small protein, some product ions, which contain the sequence information, could also be obtained, i.e., 'top-down' analysis of the protein could be accomplished with this microchip-CE/MS system. To our knowledge, this is the first report of 'top-down' analysis of a protein by microchip-CE/MS. Since it requires a much shorter time and a smaller sample amount for analysis than the conventional liquid chromatography (LC)/ESI-MS method, microchip-CE/MS promises to be suitable for the high-throughput characterization of proteins.     

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.
