Adapting decarbonylation chemistry for the development of prodrugs capable of in vivo delivery of carbon monoxide utilizing sweeteners as carrier molecules

Carbon monoxide as an endogenous signaling molecule exhibits pharmacological efficacy in various animal models of organ injury. To address the difficulty in using CO gas as a therapeutic agent for widespread applications, we are interested in developing CO prodrugs through bioreversible caging of CO in an organic compound. Specifically, we have explored the decarboxylation–decarbonylation chemistry of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds. Examination and optimization of factors favorable for maximal CO release under physiological conditions led to organic CO prodrugs using non-calorific sweeteners as leaving groups attached to the 1,2-dicarbonyl core. Attaching a leaving group with appropriate properties promotes the desired hydrolysis–decarboxylation–decarbonylation sequence of reactions that leads to CO generation. One such CO prodrug was selected to recapitulate the anti-inflammatory effects of CO against LPS-induced TNF-α production in cell culture studies. Oral administration in mice elevated COHb levels to the safe and efficacious levels established in various preclinical and clinical studies. Furthermore, its pharmacological efficacy was demonstrated in mouse models of acute kidney injury. These studies demonstrate the potential of these prodrugs with benign carriers as orally active CO-based therapeutics. This represents the very first example of orally active organic CO prodrugs with a benign carrier that is an FDA-approved sweetener with demonstrated safety profiles in vivo.

1,2-Dicarbonyl compounds with FDA-approved sweeteners as leaving groups deliver CO for protection against acute kidney injury in mice.

Mesoporous tungsten titanate as matrix for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis of biomolecules

In this paper, mesoporous tungsten titanate (WTiO) with different nano-pore structures was utilized as matrix for the analysis of short peptides by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS). Effect of characteristic features of mesoporous matrices on laser desorption/ionization process was investigated. Experiments showed that the ordered two-dimensional and three-dimensional mesoporous matrices were superior in performance to the non-ordered WTiO matrix. The dramatic enhancement of signal sensitivity by the ordered mesoporous matrices can be reasonably attributed to the ordered structure, which facilitated the understanding on structure-function relationship in mesoporous cavity for laser desorption process of adsorbed biomolecules. With the ordered mesoporous matrix, the short peptides are successfully detected. The presence of trace alkali metal salt effectively increased the analyte ion yields and the MALDI-TOFMS using the inorganic mesoporous matrices displayed a high salt tolerance. The developed technique also showed a satisfactory performance in peptide-mapping and amino-acid sequencing analysis.     

Progress of solid-phase microextraction coatings and coating techniques

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been popular as an environmentally friendly sample pretreatment technique to extract a very wide range of analytes. This is partly owing to the development of SPME coatings. One of the key factors affecting the extraction performances, such as the sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility, is the properties of the coatings on SPME fibers. This paper classifies the materials used as SPME coatings and introduces some common preparation techniques of SPME coating in detail, such as sol-gel technique, electrochemical polymerization technique, particle direct pasting technique, restricted access matrix SPME technique, and molecularly imprinted SPME technique.     

组蛋白翻译后修饰无标定量方法可靠性的比较

组蛋白翻译后修饰是一种表观遗传学修饰,参与调控细胞的新陈代谢等重要生理过程。蛋白质组学发展迅速,使监控组蛋白翻译后修饰的动态变化成为可能。目前主要有3种无标定量方法（谱图计数法、峰面积积分法和信号强度法）,但何种定量方法更可靠尚未见系统性的详细报道。在稳定同位素标记细胞培养技术（SILAC）基础上,对去乙酰化酶抑制剂（SAHA）调控细胞乙酰化修饰水平的定量数据进行对比,比较3种无标定量方法对组蛋白翻译后修饰进行的定量分析,利用定量结果的标准差（SD）评估定量的可靠性,最终发现基于峰面积积分法定量的结果可靠性最高。该研究对难以进行同位素标记实验的样本分析,尤其对临床样本、大样本的组蛋白修饰谱分析具有重要参考意义。

Preparation of polyaniline coating on a stainless-steel wire using electroplating and its application to the determination of six aromatic amines using headspace solid-phase microextraction

A novel polyaniline (PANI) coating was prepared on a stainless-steel wire for solid-phase microextraction by electroplating method. For better mechanical strength, the stainless-steel wire was used instead of the fused silica fiber. The electroplating method had advantages of ease of preparation and simple equipments. The PANI fiber was evaluated by analyzing six aromatic amines (aniline, N,N-dimethylaniline, m-methylaniline, 2,4-dimethylaniline, 2-chloroaniline, 3,4-dichloroaniline) in water. After the analytical procedure was optimized, the linearity was from 4.8 to 2.75 x 10(4) microg L(-1) and the detection limits was from 0.019 to 1.06 microg L(-1). Relative standard deviations were found to be 2.02-6.00%. Good recoveries were obtained when wastewater samples were analyzed.     

基于精氨酸酶切的蛋白质C端肽段富集方法的优化及评估北大核心CSCD

基于聚合物的蛋白质C端反向富集策略是用于研究蛋白质C端最为广泛的策略之一。目前,基于胰蛋白酶(trypsin)切割精氨酸残基C端(ArgC型酶切)的蛋白C端组学方法对蛋白质C端的鉴定深度仍有待提高。为解决这一问题,该研究对此方法进行了优化和评估:建立了基于“V型”过滤装置的“一锅法”富集流程,避免了副反应的干扰,缩短了样本的制备时间;优化了蛋白水平乙酰化反应条件,最大限度地降低了丝氨酸、苏氨酸、酪氨酸残基上的副反应,提高了肽段鉴定的可信性;优化了基于固相萃取枪头膜片过滤柱(StageTip柱)的样品分离过程,使C端肽段的鉴定深度增加至原来的4倍。通过以上优化,按照肽段水平错误发现率(FDR)<0.01、离子分数(ion score)≥20,且C端带有乙醇胺修饰的数据筛选标准,从人HEK 293T细胞中共鉴定出696个蛋白质C端。若仅要求肽段水平FDR<0.01,鉴定数目进一步增加到933个,这是基于聚合物富集策略的蛋白质C端组学方法所得的最大数据集之一。探索了胰蛋白酶镜像酶(LysargiNase)切割精氨酸残基N端(ArgN型酶切)与不同肽段N端衍生化修饰组合对蛋白质C端鉴定数目和种类的影响,“LysargiNase酶切+肽段N端乙酰化”新策略在原有“胰蛋白酶酶切+肽段N端二甲基化”策略的基础上将鉴定蛋白质C端的种类提升了47%。综上,该研究通过对基于Arg型酶切的蛋白C端组学方法的优化,提升了C端肽段的鉴定深度,扩大了C端肽段鉴定的覆盖范围。该方法将有望成为系统性表征蛋白质C端的有力工具。
