Use of a porous silicon–gold plasmonic nanostructure to enhance serum peptide signals in MALDI-TOF analysis

Small peptides in serum are potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. The identification of peptide biomarkers in human plasma/serum has become an area of high interest in medical research. However, the direct analysis of peptides in serum samples using mass spectrometry is challenging due to the low concentration of peptides and the high abundance of high-molecular-weight proteins in serum, the latter of which causes severe signal suppression. Herein, we reported that porous semiconductor-noble metal hybrid nanostructures can both eliminate the interference from large proteins in serum samples and significantly enhance the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) yields of peptides captured on the nanostructure. Serum peptide fingerprints with high fidelity can be acquired rapidly, and successful discrimination of colorectal cancer patients based on peptide fingerprints is demonstrated.     

Zirconium silicate assisted removal of residual proteins after organic solvent deproteinization of human plasma,enhancing the stability of the LC–ESI-MS response for the bioanalysis of small molecules

An efficient blood plasma clean-up method was developed, where methanol protein precipitation was applied, followed by zirconium silicate assisted exclusion of residual proteins. A strong binding of zirconium (IV) silicate to the proteins enabled the elimination of remaining proteins after solvent deproteinization through a rapid solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF MS) was used for monitoring the proteins during clean-up practice applied to human plasma samples. The proteins were quantified by colorimetric detection using the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay. The presented analytical strategy resulted in the depletion of >99.6% proteins from human plasma samples. Furthermore, high-performance liquid chromatography hyphenated to diode-array and electrospray ionization mass spectrometric detection (HPLC–DAD/ESI MS) was applied for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs) and their metabolites in human plasma. The procedure demonstrated high recoveries for the standard compounds spiked at different concentrations. Cynarin and chlorogenic acid were recovered in the range of 81–86% and 78–83%, respectively. Caffeic acid was extracted in the excess of 89–92%, while ferulic acid and dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid showed a recovery of 87–91% and 92–95%, respectively. The method was partially validated in accordance with FDA-Industry Guidelines for Bioanalytical Method Validation (2001). The presented scheme improves the clean-up efficacy of the methanol deproteinization, significantly reduces the matrix effects and provides a great analytical tool for the isolation of small molecules from human plasma.     

Preparation and characterization of a polystyrene/bovine serum albumin nanoparticle‐coated capillary for chiral separation using open‐tubular capillary electrochromatography

Polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles coated by BSA, hereafter denoted as PS/BSA, were prepared and chemically immobilized for the first time onto a capillary inner wall for open‐tubular CEC (OTCEC). EOF and scanning electron micrography were used to characterize the prepared nanoparticle‐coated capillaries. To investigate the performance of the prepared columns in OTCEC, chiral separation of d ,l ‐tryptophan (dl ‐Trp) was performed in monolayer BSA‐modified capillary and PS/BSA nanoparticle‐coated columns. The results indicated that the nanoparticle‐modified column afforded a higher resolution compared with the monolayer type. Rapid enantioseparation of dl ‐Trp (within 3 min) was achieved with the PS/BSA‐immobilized column using an electroosmotic pump‐assisted CEC. Enantiomer separations of other compounds like dl ‐tyrosine and warfarin were also achieved with the column. Besides, run‐to‐run and column‐to‐column repeatabilities of the PS/BSA‐coated column in the chiral separation were systematically introduced.     

Separation of tryptic peptides of native and glycated BSA using open‐tubular CEC with salophene–lanthanide–Zn2+ complex as stationary phase

Open‐tubular CEC (OT‐CEC) with a new stationary phase, salophene–lanthanide–Zn²⁺ complex, has been applied to the separation of tryptic peptides of native BSA and BSA glycated by glucose and ribose. Glycation of proteins (non‐enzymatic modification by sugars) significantly affects their properties and it is of great importance from a physiological point of view. Separation of tryptic peptides of glycated BSA by CZE was poor because of their strong adsorption to the bare fused silica capillary. An improved separation of tryptic peptides of both native and glycated BSA was achieved by OT‐CEC in the fused silica capillary non‐covalently coated with salophene–lanthanide–Zn²⁺ complex, which suppressed the adsorption of peptides to the capillary and via specific interactions with some (glyco)peptides enhanced selectivity of the separation. Significant differences have been found in OT‐CEC analyses of tryptic hydrolysates of native and glycated BSA. In OT‐CEC‐UV profile of tryptic peptides of native BSA, 44 peaks could be resolved, whereas a reduced number of 38 peaks were observed in the profile of tryptic peptides of glucose‐glycated BSA and only 30 peaks were found in the case of ribose‐glycated BSA. The developed OT‐CEC can be potentially used for monitoring of protein glycation.     

Applications of polymethacrylate-based monoliths in high-performance liquid chromatography

Monolithic columns were introduced in the early 1990s and have become increasingly popular as efficient stationary phases for most of the important chromatographic separation modes. Monoliths are functionally distinct from porous particle-based media in their reliance on convective mass transport. This makes resolution and capacity independent of flow rate. Monoliths also lack a void volume. This eliminates eddy dispersion and permits high-resolution separations with extremely short flow paths. The analytical value of these features is the subject of recent reviews. Nowadays, among other types of rigid macroporous monoliths, the polymethacrylate-based materials are the largest and most examined class of these sorbents. In this review, the applications of polymethacrylate-based monolithic columns are summarized for the separation, purification and analysis of low and high molecular mass compounds in the different HPLC formats, including micro- and large-scale HPLC modes.

CE detection of N‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl)‐N‐carbodiimide/N‐hydroxysuccinimide‐coupled proteins after homo‐ and hetero‐crosslinking reactions

Protein–protein conjugates formed by carbodiimide crosslinking reactions have been analyzed for the first time using CE. Lysozyme and BSA were chosen as model proteins to study the efficacy of N‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl)‐N‐ethylcarbodiimide and N‐hydroxysuccinimide as crosslinkers. Detection of the molecular mass increase was checked by SDS‐PAGE. Commercially available, PVA‐coated capillaries showed appropriate selection, while phospho‐deactivated and dynamic PVA‐coated capillaries did not give suitable resolution. CE was found to be an efficient tool to characterize homo‐ (lysozyme–lysozyme) and hetero‐ (lysozyme–BSA) protein coupling by suitable variations of electrophoretic mobilities.     

N-辛基-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷与BSA相互作用的研究

通过稳态荧光法、紫外-可见光谱法和表面张力法研究了N-辛基-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷(OGP)与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)在缓冲液中的相互作用. 根据OGP溶液和OGP/BSA混合溶液的表面张力曲线可以看出, 蛋白质的加入改变了单一表面活性剂溶液的表面张力曲线. 蛋白质的加入还使混合体系的临界胶束浓度(cmc*)大于单一表面活性剂的临界胶束浓度(cmc), 这主要是由于OGP与蛋白质结合减少了单体OGP分子的浓度所致. 加入荧光探针芘测量了OGP和OGP/BSA溶液的I₁/I₃值, 结果也表明BSA的加入增大了OGP的聚集浓度, 其原因与表面张力的变化原因是相同的. 在OGP/BSA体系中, 随着OGP浓度的增大, 紫外吸收减弱、荧光强度有规律的降低, 而且荧光发射峰位发生蓝移, 说明它们的结合部位趋向于Trp残基上|同时通过同步荧光和I^－猝灭实验, 进一步证明了OGP与BSA的结合部位是在BSA的疏水空腔内的色氨酸残基上.
