凝胶电泳-毛细管液相色谱-质谱联用技术分析大肠癌肿瘤与癌旁组织的差异蛋白质组

通过凝胶电泳将大肠癌患者的手术标本组织(肿瘤与癌旁)中的总蛋白按照分子量分成不同的组分,经胶内水解后,利用毛细管液相色谱-质谱联用技术对各个组分的多肽混合物进行蛋白质组学分析,共鉴定出29种差异表达的蛋白质,其中肿瘤组织中表达上调的蛋白质19种,如Fibrinogen beta chain,Vimentin,Fi-brinogen gamma chain,Histone H2A type 1-B/E,Isoform 1 of Periostin,Fibrinogen alpha chain,Histone H3.1,Al-pha-enolase,Protein disulfide-isomerase A3等;在肿瘤组织中表达下调的有10种蛋白质,如Sarcomeric tropomy-osin kappa,Transgelin,Heat shock protein beta-1,Talin-1,Isoform 2 of Vinculin,Isoform 1 of Filamin-C等.通过蛋白质印迹实验对其中的踝蛋白1(Talin-1)和烯醇化酶(Alpha-enolase)的蛋白质组学鉴定结果进行了验证.生物信息学分析表明在大肠癌组织中表达上调的蛋白多具有胞外分泌的属性,提示这些蛋白很有可能会渗透到机体内的循环系统中,从而在患者血液或者腹水中能够被检测到;而在大肠癌组织中表达下调的蛋白则多为细胞骨架、胞外基质纤维等的组成成分,这些蛋白的下调常与肿瘤细胞向周围组织的侵袭和转移有密切关系.本研究为大肠癌的早期诊断、大肠癌初筛等方面的研究等提供了基础数据,对进一步深入研究大肠癌发病机制具有重要意义.     

Validation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination of 4-nonylphenol and octylphenol in surface water samples by LC-ESI-MS

4-Nonylphenol (NP) and octylphenol (OP) were measured by direct ELISA in both laboratory-fortified and surface water samples collected monthly from 10 rivers. In this procedure, samples were concentrated by solid phase extraction (SPE) using Lichrolut RP-18 sorbent with good recoveries obtained for both LC-MS and ELISA, giving a low level of detection (LOD) at the range of low μg L⁻¹ and good reproducibility. Analysis of 40 surface water samples demonstrated that the ELISA may be a useful screening tool for the determination of the alkylphenols in surface water matrices. The concentration of NP and OP in surface waters ranged from 0.11 to 6.58 μg L⁻¹. A good correlation of results obtained by ELISA and LC-MS within the concentration range of 0.08-6.86 μg L⁻¹ was found in the river samples [R² = 0.924, n = 39]. The influence of various factors on assay determination was also discussed.     

气相色谱-质谱和液相色谱-质谱联用方法用于口腔癌代谢组学分析

口腔癌的发病率占全身恶性肿瘤的第6位,正确区分正常状态与良性和恶性口腔肿瘤,是恰当选择治疗方案的关键所在。本研究中,首先利用液相色谱-质谱和气相色谱-质谱联用方法分别得到健康人、良性口腔肿瘤患者和恶性口腔肿瘤患者血浆、尿液和唾液的代谢轮廓,然后应用正交信号校正的偏最小二乘法进行多变量统计分析。结果表明健康人、良性肿瘤患者和恶性肿瘤患者在血浆、尿液和唾液等3种体液代谢中都可以被区分开,而且找到和鉴定出19个重要差异代谢物。相关代谢通路分析显示,与健康人相比,良性和恶性口腔肿瘤患者都存在能量代谢紊乱和脂类代谢失衡的现象,但恶性口腔肿瘤患者还表现出三羧酸循环和肌醇代谢异常,这为临床诊断及治疗提供了重要信息。     

Down-regulation of Vinculin in Human Colorectal Carcinoma Identified by Proteomics Analysis

In the present study, we aimed to globally profile the proteins involved in colorectal carcinoma(CRC), in order to find clues to the pathological process of CRC. Pairs of malignant tissues and their adjacent healthy tissues from patients with colorectal cancer were subject to differential proteomics analysis. Two dimensional electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry(2-DE/MS) was used to identify differentially expressed proteins between pairs of tissue samples. A list of proteins relevant to the progression of colorectal tumor was identified by two dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE)-based proteomics approach. Among the identified proteins, vinculin was found to be remarkably down-regulated in colorectal carcinoma tissues. In addition, three phosphorylation modifications within the isolated vinculin were identified by in-depth liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS) analysis. Our results provide a basis for further understanding the pathological significance of vinculin in the regulation of carcinogenesis, invasion and metastasis of colorectal tumors.

采用液相色谱-质谱(LC-MS)联用技术建立了不同产地的双丹方(丹参和丹皮)煎剂的指纹图谱, 并提出一种将二维的LC-MS数据转化为一维的选择离子集成谱(ISIC)的方法. 通过主成分分析考察了ISIC与总离子流色谱图(TIC)和保留时间校正后的TIC对不同产地药材的区分能力. 结果表明, ISIC能全面反映不同产地的丹参和丹皮成分间的差异; 而TIC由于色谱峰重叠严重, 对不同产地的药材无区分能力, 保留时间校正后的TIC仅能反映不同产地丹参成分间的差异. 该方法运算速度快, 适于大批量样本分析, 生成的ISIC信息量大, 且不需校正保留时间, 可直接用于后续的统计分析.

Recent Progress in Mass Spectrometry-based Metabolomics for Colorectal Cancer

Metabolomics, one of the latest omics technologies, is employed to reveal overall metabolic trajectories, identify disease causative mechanisms and provide information for preventive diagnosis and drug targeting. Cancer is a disease known to alter cellular metabolism and so metabolomics can play an important role in the early diagnosis of cancer and in the evaluation of medical interventions and treatments for cancer. Many metabolomics studies rely on high-sensitive and high-throughput mass spectrometry platforms. In recent years, various mass spectrometry(MS) methodologies have been developed and enriched the scope of metabolite detection, contributing to disease studies, such as diabetes, cancer, and depression. Colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer worldwide and its incidence ranked third in China. This review focuses on the mass spectrometry technologies in metabolomics and summarizes the progress of metabolomics research in colorectal cancer.

Rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the quantitation of epirubicin and identification of metabolites in biological samples

A highly sensitive and selective liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method has been developed for the determination of epirubicin in serum and cell specimens using daunorubicin as an internal standard. Using atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation (APCI), the epirubicin metabolites were readily distinguishable by their fragmentation pattern in the mass spectrometer. Selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode was employed for quantitation of epirubicin and the metabolites. Following extraction, chromatography was performed on a C18 column with a mobile phase consisting of water-acetonitrile-formic acid, pH 3.2, with a flow rate of 200 μl/min. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) of this method in serum were determined to be 1.0 and 2.5 ng/ml, respectively. Linearity of the method was verified over the concentration range of 2.5-2000 ng/ml, with a high correlation coefficient (R² ≥ 0.998). For the extraction procedure, an aliquot of 500 μl serum, spiked with internal standard, was extracted using a chloroform-2-isopropanol (2:1, v/v) mixture. The method has been applied to the analysis of epirubicin in cancer cell samples and the identification of known and unknown metabolites in clinical trial patient serum samples.

Metformin Inhibits the Urea Cycle and Reduces Putrescine Generation in Colorectal Cancer Cell Lines

The urea cycle (UC) removes the excess nitrogen and ammonia generated by nitrogen-containing compound composites or protein breakdown in the human body. Research has shown that changes in UC enzymes are not only related to tumorigenesis and tumor development but also associated with poor survival in hepatocellular, breast, and colorectal cancers (CRC), etc. Cytoplasmic ornithine, the intermediate product of the urea cycle, is a specific substrate for ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, also known as ODC1) for the production of putrescine and is required for tumor growth. Polyamines (spermidine, spermine, and their precursor putrescine) play central roles in more than half of the steps of colorectal tumorigenesis. Given the close connection between polyamines and cancer, the regulation of polyamine metabolic pathways has attracted attention regarding the mechanisms of action of chemical drugs used to prevent CRC, as the drug most widely used for treating type 2 diabetes (T2D), metformin (Met) exhibits antitumor activity against a variety of cancer cells, with a vaguely defined mechanism. In addition, the influence of metformin on the UC and putrescine generation in colorectal cancer has remained unclear. In our study, we investigated the effect of metformin on the UC and putrescine generation of CRC in vivo and in vitro and elucidated the underlying mechanisms. In nude mice bearing HCT116 tumor xenografts, the administration of metformin inhibited tumor growth without affecting body weight. In addition, metformin treatment increased the expression of monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and p53 in both HCT116 xenografts and colorectal cancer cell lines and decreased the expression of the urea cycle enzymes, including carbamoyl phosphate synthase 1 (CPS1), arginase 1 (ARG1), ornithine trans-carbamylase (OTC), and ODC. The putrescine levels in both HCT116 xenografts and HCT116 cells decreased after metformin treatment. These results demonstrate that metformin inhibited CRC cell proliferation via activating AMPK/p53 and that there was an association between metformin, urea cycle inhibition and a reduction in putrescine generation.     

非正常食用油鉴别新方法(一): 三种辣椒碱残留量的液相色谱-质谱分析

非正常食用油(俗称地沟油)是我国食品安全领域亟须解决的问题。准确可行的地沟油检测方法被分析工作者广泛关注。由于国人的饮食习惯,辣味调料在餐饮业应用广泛,而辣椒碱是引起辣味的主要化学物质,因此可作为鉴别地沟油的潜在指标。本文采用固相萃取-液相色谱-串联质谱技术,建立了食用油中3种微量辣椒碱(辣椒素、二氢辣椒素及壬酸香草酰胺)的检测方法。首先用20 g/L氢氧化钠水溶液提取油样中的辣椒碱,再将提取液用C18小柱富集净化后进行液相色谱-质谱检测。用该法对国家食品安全风险评估中心提供的67个盲样进行了分析,结果表明辣椒碱是一个良好的地沟油特征指示物。凭借这3种辣椒碱指标,阳性样品正确识别率达到75%,阴性样品正确识别率达到100%。目前本方法已经成为国家卫生部最新公布的4种地沟油仪器检测方法之一。
