Analysis of chitin oligosaccharides by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence

A method, using capillary electrophoresis (CE) with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection for analyzing chitin oligosaccharides is described. Chitin oligosaccharides were derivatized with 9-aminopyrene-1,4,6-trisulfonate (APTS) via reductive amination at 37 degrees C for 16 h (optimized conditions). The APTS-chitin oligosaccharides were analyzed using either an acidic citric acid-phosphate buffer or an alkaline borate buffer. The effects of buffer types, buffer pH values, and buffer concentrations on the separation were examined. The analytes were successfully separated by using a pH 4.6 citric acid-phosphate within 19 min. The APTS-derivatized chitin monosaccharide (D-glucosamine) migrated first. The analytes were also completely separated by using a pH 9.0 borate buffer within 24 min. Moreover, the specificity of enzyme digestion on chitin polysaccharides using the optimized APTS labeling procedure and the CE-LIF method was demonstrated.     

Resolution of structural isomers of sialylated oligosaccharides by capillary electrophoresis

The resolution of structural isomers in mixtures of oligosaccharides is often challenging. Capillary electrophoresis was employed to separate three sets of structural isomers of sialylated oligosaccharides found in human milk and bovine colostrum. Different running buffers were necessary to achieve optimal baseline resolution. To resolve 3'- and 6'-sialyllactoses, 0.2 M aqueous sodium phosphate containing 40% methanol as an organic modifier was used as a running buffer. To resolve 3'- and 6'-sialyllactosamines, 0.4 M aqueous sodium phosphate without organic modifier was used. Baseline resolution of sialyllacto-N-tetraose-a and -b and sialyllacto-N-neotetraose-c was achieved with a 0.4 M Tris-HCl buffer containing 250 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate and 10% methanol as the organic modifier. Thus, each of these sets of structural isomers of sialylated oligosaccharides required a unique running buffer with respect to buffer type, concentration, pH, presence of organic modifiers, and surfactants. Similar electrophoresis conditions may be useful for resolving and analyzing other structural isomers of acidic oligosaccharides by capillary electrophoresis.     

Separation, identification, and interaction of heparin oligosaccharides with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor using capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry

A capillary electrophoresis (CE) method was developed for the separation of heparin oligosaccharides compatible to study the interactions between the oligosaccharides and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). Unfractionated heparin was eliminitively degraded to heparin oligosaccharides by an endolytic heparinase. The degraded smaller oligosaccharides (M(r) < 1000) were baseline-separated by CE under a 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 9.0) in 10 min. Standard heparin disaccharides and larger oligosaccharides (1000 < M(r) < 8000) were all separated under optimized separation conditions. Compared with standard heparin disaccharides, smaller oligosaccharides contained one nonsulfated, two monosulfated, and two disulfated disaccharides, but trisulfated disaccharides were not found. The smaller oligosaccharides were also identified and molecular mass was deduced by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Furthermore, interactions between G-CSF and the oligosaccharides were studied by using capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) under the above separation conditions. It was found that larger oligosaccharides could interact with G-CSF while smaller oligosaccharides were not observed to bind to G-CSF under the experimental conditions. In conclusion, the purified heparinase could selectively degrade heparin into oligosaccharides and the interaction between G-CSF and heparin was correlated with the chain length of heparin.     

Analysis of carbohydrates in glycoproteins by high-performance liquid chromatography and high-performance capillary electrophoresis

We describe two methods for the analysis of oligosaccharide chains in glycoproteins by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE).O-andN-glycosidically linked oligosaccharides released from glycoproteins can be identified as their borohydride-reduced forms by anion-exchange HPLC with pulsed amperometric detection.N-Glycosidically linked oligosaccharides can also be analyzed as 2-aminopyridine derivatives by HPCE in direct zone electrophoresis mode in an acidic phosphate buffer and zone electrophoresis mode as borate complexes in an alkaline buffer. We also present a convenient procedure for the analysis of the constituent monosaccharides of these oligosaccharides chains by HPLC based on reversed-phase partition mode as 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone derivatives.     

Multi-dimensional mapping of pyridylamine-labeled N-linked oligosaccharides by capillary electrophoresis

A simple, sensitive and reproducible multi-dimensional capillary electrophoresis (CE) oligosaccharide mapping method is reported. The structures of 20 identified N-linked oligosaccharides have been assigned mapping positions from which co-migrating unknown oligosaccharides can be characterized. The separation protocols developed have been demonstrated to separate both charged and neutral oligosaccharides. One dimension involves electroendosmotic flow-assisted CE in a sodium acetate buffer, pH 4.0. A second dimension involves separation based on borate complexation electrophoresis in a polyethylene glycol-containing buffer. A third dimension developed specifically for neutral oligosaccharides, using a sodium phosphate buffer, pH 2.5, has been shown to resolve neutral species not able to be separated by the other two dimensions. Thus, a three-dimensional map was generated to facilitate structural characterization of these oligosaccharides.     

Analysis of oligomannuronic acids and oligoguluronic acids by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

Oligomannuronic acids and oligoguluronic acids were prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of alginate with alginate lyases. The oligosaccharides generated up to degree of polymerization 16 were characterized by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Acetate buffer linear gradients were used as mobile phases for separations of oligosaccharides. ESI-MS and HPAEC-PAD are very effective for the analysis and characterization of anionic oligosaccharides.     

Microchip electrophoresis of oligosaccharides using lectin-immobilized preconcentrator gels fabricated by in situ photopolymerization

A lectin-impregnated gel was fabricated at the channel crossing point in a microfluidic chip made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The acrylamide containing lectin was photopolymerized to form a round gel (radius 60 μm) by irradiation with an argon laser, which was also used for fluorometric detection. This gel was applied to specific concentration, elution, and electrophoretic separation of fluorescent-labeled oligosaccharides. Because the lectin in the polyacrylamide gel was mechanically immobilized, it maintained its activity. The lectin was used to trap up to a few tens of femtomoles of specific oligosaccharides labeled with 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid with 2 min by a factor >800, and the amount trapped corresponded to ca. 70% of lectin in the gel. The trapped oligosaccharides were released from the gel by lowering the pH with an acidic background electrolyte. The oligosaccharides that eluted as a broad band were concentrated by transient isotachophoresis stacking using concentrated sodium borate buffer (pH 11.0). The stacked sample components were then separated and fluorometrically detected at the end of the separation channel. Under the optimized conditions, resolution of the saccharides was good, and was similar to that obtained by pinched injection. The method was applied to preconcentration and analysis of oligosaccharides derived from some glycoproteins.     

Rapid analysis of oligosaccharides derived from glycoproteins by microchip electrophoresis

A novel method for fast profiling of complex oligosaccharides released from glycoproteins based on microchip electrophoresis (mu-CE) is presented here. The characterization of separation conditions, i.e., the composition, concentration and pH of running buffer as well as the applied voltage, has been performed using maltose (G2), cellobiose ( G2'), maltriose (G3) and panose (G3') as oligosaccharide isomer models. In mu-CE, much better separation of oligosaccharide isomers and oligosaccharide ladder was obtained in phosphate buffer than in borate buffer over a wide pH range. Under optimal conditions, high-performance separation of the N-linked complex oligosaccharides released from ribonuclease B, fetuin, alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and IgG was achieved using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microchips with an effective separation channel of 30 mm. These results represent the first reported analysis of the N-linked oligosaccharides derived from glycoproteins by mu-CE, indicating that the present mu-CE-based method is a promising alternative for characterization of the N-linked oligosaccharides in glycoproteins.
