Mass spectrometry in the study of advanced glycation processes, responsible for long-term diabetes complications.

Mass spectrometry has been usefully employed in the study of the products arising from in vitro and in vivo glycation of proteins. In particular, daughter-ion spectroscopy has led to an easy detection of 2-(2-furoyl)4-(5)2(furanyl)1-H-imidazole in HCl-hydrolysed glycated albumen and polylysine and the method has allowed us to exclude the presence of the same molecule in in vivo glycated proteins. Parent-ion spectroscopy has been successfully employed in the identification of furoyl-containing compounds, which are possibly responsible for the results obtained with other analytical approaches.     

Selective adsorption of thiophene and 1-benzothiophene on metal-ion-exchanged zeolites in organic medium

Adsorption of the organic sulfur compounds thiophene (TP) and 1-benzothiophene (1-BTP) in an organic model solution of hydrodesulfurizated gasoline (heptane with 1 wt% toluene and 0.156 mM (5 ppmw as sulfur) TP or 1-BTP) was studied by a batch method at 80 degrees C using metal-ion-exchanged Y-zeolites. Although NaY-zeolite or its acid-treated material rarely adsorbed the organic sulfur compounds, NaY-zeolites exchanged with Ag+, Cu2+, and Ce3+ ions and NH(4)Y-zeolites exchanged with Ce3+ ions showed markedly high adsorptive capacities for TP and 1-BTP. The sulfur uptake increased in the order CuY-zeolite(Na)相似文献   

Analysis on heat stress-induced hyperphosphorylation of stathmin at serine 37 in Jurkat cells by means of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and tandem mass spectrometry

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and tandem mass spectrometry were successfully used for determination of a phosphorylation site of stathmin induced by heat stress to Jurkat cells of a human T lymphoblastic cell line. The cells were incubated for 30 min at 41 degrees C up to 45 degrees C in a serum free 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffered culture medium. The intracellular soluble proteins were separated by 2-DE, and some of the proteins increased their abundance by heat stress. Those proteins were identified to be calmodulin, protein kinase C substrate, thymosin beta-4 and F-actin capping protein beta-subunit by peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). On the contrary, protein phosphatase 2C gamma-isoform, nucleophosmin, translationally controlled tumor protein, Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor-1, eukaryotic translation initiation factors 5A and 3A subunit 2, ubiquitin-like protein SMT 3B and chloride intracellular channel protein-1 were decreased their abundance. A protein spot of M(r) 18,000 and pI 5.9 was markedly increased at temperatures higher than 43 degrees C at which the cells were led to apoptosis. The spot was identified to be stathmin of a signal relay protein which has a function of sequestering microtubule. MALDI-quadrupole ion trap (QIT)-TOF-MS/MS and immunoblotting with a monoclonal antibody specific for a phosphorylation site of stathmin showed that the spot was a phosphorylated stathmin at serine 37 (Ser 37). The phosphorylation was suppressed by treatment of cells with olomoucine of an inhibitor specific for cyclin dependent kinase (Cdk-1). These results strongly suggest that heat stress activates Cdk-1 which phosphorylates Ser 37 on the stathmin molecule. The phosphorylation may cause the functional loss of stathmin for dynamic microtubule assembly and leads Jurkat cells to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.     

Human serum albumen enhanced resonance light scattering of dyes

For the first time, the relationship between the structural parameters of dye molecule and the enhanced resonance light scattering (RLS) of dye-human serum albumen (HSA) was investigated using chemometrics technique. The data set of the enhanced RLS intensity of the dye-HSA was obtained under the same experimental conditions for 22 dyes. After calculated with HyperChem software and selected by stepwise regression approach, six structural parameters for the maximum RLS wavelength were used in multivariable linear regression (MLR) (R=0.932), seven structural parameters for the corresponding enhanced RLS intensity were employed by MLR (R=0.934). According to these models, the maximum RLS wavelength and the enhanced RLS intensity are both attributed to the spatial structure and energies of dye.     

Advanced glycation end products: a highly complex set of biologically relevant compounds detected by mass spectrometry

Structural information on 'AGE-peptides,' a class of substances belonging to advanced glycation end products (AGE) and originating by proteolysis of glycated proteins, was gained through various analytical approaches on the mixture produced by proteinase K digestion of in vitro glycated bovine serum albumin. Both matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS) were employed, and the results were compared with those from conventional spectroscopic methods (UV, fluorescence, gel permeation). The data acquired by the various techniques all depict the digestion mixtures as highly complex, with components exhibiting molecular mass in the range 300-3500 Da. In the analysis of HPLC/ESI-MS data, identification of AGE-peptides was facilitated by 3D mapping. Structural information was gained by means of multiple mass spectrometric experiments.     

Improvement of the liquid-chromatographic analysis of protein tryptic digests by the use of long-capillary monolithic columns with UV and MS detection

Optimisation of peak capacity is an important strategy in gradient liquid chromatography (LC). This can be achieved by using either long columns or columns packed with small particles. Monolithic columns allow the use of long columns at relatively low back-pressure. The gain in peak capacity using long columns was evaluated by the separation of a tryptic bovine serum albumin digest with an LC–UV–mass spectrometry (MS) system and monolithic columns of different length (150 and 750 mm). Peak capacities were determined from UV chromatograms and MS/MS data were used for Mascot database searching. Analyses with a similar gradient slope for the two columns produced ratios of the peak capacities that were close to the expected value of the square root of the column length ratio. Peak capacities of the short column were 12.6 and 25.0 with 3 and 15 min gradients, respectively, and 29.7 and 41.0 for the long column with 15 and 75 min gradients, respectively. Protein identification scores were also higher for the long column, 641 and 750 for the 3- and 15-min gradients with the short column and 1,376 and 993 for the 15- and 75-min gradients with the long column. Thus, the use of long monolithic columns provides improved peptide separation and increased reliability of protein identification.     

Quantitative determination of proteins by the Rayleigh light-scattering technique after optimization of the derivation reaction with Arsenazo-DBS

This paper researched the determination of proteins with 2-(2-arsonophehenylazo)-7-[(2,6-dibromo-4-sulfophenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid (Arsenazo-DBS) by Rayleigh light-scattering (RLS). The reaction parameters, such as acidity, volume of buffer solution and concentration of Arsenazo-DBS, were examined by orthogonal array design (OAD). Under optimal conditions, the weak RLS of Arsenazo-DBS and BSA can be enhanced greatly and two enhanced RLS signals were produced at 340-350 and 400-420 nm. Based on this reaction, a new quantitative determination method for proteins has been developed. This method is proved to be very sensitive (the determination limits are 0.077 μg ml⁻¹ for bovine serum albumen (BSA) and 0.074 μg ml⁻¹ for human serum albumen (HSA)), rapid (<2 min), simple (one step) and tolerance of most interfering substances. The effects of different surfactants were also examined. The amount of proteins in human serum samples was determined and the maximum relative error was no more than 2% and the recovery was between 95 and 105%.     

Characterization and determination of piperine and piperine isomers in eggs

A new analytical method for the determination of piperine and its isomers in egg yolk and albumen is described here. All four isomers were separated by HPLC and detected using UV, DAD and electrochemical detection. The absolute detection limit (UV detection, S/ N=3) of a standard solution of piperine was 370 pg piperine. The correlation coefficients for the linear calibration graphs (concentration range: c=100 ng-10 micro g piperine isomer/mL) are generally better than 0.996. The piperine isomers were characterized and identified by spectroscopy (MS, (1)H-NMR, FT-IR). The method was successfully applied to the determination of piperine deposits in eggs (egg yolk and albumen) after feeding hens with piperine-spiked feed. The detection limit for piperine (24.8(+/-0.2) ng/g egg yolk and 37.9(+/-4.9) ng/g albumen) and the recoveries (70.3(+/-7.7)% (egg yolk) and 75.7(+/-1.9)% (albumen)) of piperine were determined.
