A Rapid LC-MS/MS-PRM Assay for Serologic Quantification of Sialylated O-HPX Glycoforms in Patients with Liver Fibrosis.

ABSTRACT: Development of high throughput robust methods is a prerequisite for a successful clinical use of LC-MS/MS assays. In earlier studies, we reported that nLC-MS/MS measurement of the O-glycoforms of HPX is an indicator of liver fibrosis. In this study, we show that a microflow LC-MS/MS method using a single column setup for capture of the analytes, desalting, fast gradient elution, and on-line mass spectrometry measurements, is robust, substantially faster, and even more sensitive than our nLC setup. We demonstrate applicability of the workflow on the quantification of the O-HPX glycoforms in unfractionated serum samples of control and liver disease patients. The assay requires microliter volumes of serum samples, and the platform is amenable to one hundred sample injections per day, providing a valuable tool for biomarker validation and screening studies.

A multiplexed microflow LC-MS/MS-PRM assay for serologic quantification of IgG N- and HPX O- glycoforms in liver fibrosis.

Project description:Targeted quantification of glycoproteins has not reached its full potential because of limitations of the existing analytical workflows. In this study, we introduce a targeted microflow LC-MS/MS-PRM method for the quantification of multiple glycopeptides in unfractionated serum samples. The entire preparation of 16 samples in a batch is completed within 3 h, and the LC-MS quantification of all the glycoforms in a sample is completed in 15 min in triplicate, including online capture and desalting. We demonstrate applicability of the workflow on a multiplexed quantification of eight N-glycoforms of immunoglobulin G (IgG) together with two O-glycoforms of hemopexin (HPX). We applied the assay to a serologic study of fibrotic liver disease in patients of HCV etiology. The results document that specific IgG- and HPX-glycoforms detect efficiently fibrotic disease of different degree, and suggest that the LC-MS/MS-PRM assays may provide rapid and reproducible biomarker assay targeting simultaneously the N- and O-glycoforms of the peptides. We propose that such high throughput multiplexed methods may advance the clinical use of the LC-MS/MS assays.

LC-MS/MS-PRM Quantification of IgG Glycoforms Using Stable Isotope Labeled IgG1 Fc Glycopeptide Standard.

Project description:Targeted quantification of proteins is a standard methodology with broad utility, but targeted quantification of glycoproteins has not reached its full potential. The lack of optimized workflows and isotopically labeled standards limits the acceptance of glycoproteomics quantification. In this work, we introduce an efficient and streamlined chemoenzymatic synthesis of a library of isotopically labeled glycopeptides of IgG1 which we use for quantification in an energy optimized LC-MS/MS-PRM workflow. Incorporation of the stable isotope labeled N-acetylglucosamine enables an efficient monitoring of all major fragment ions of the glycopeptides generated under the soft higher-energy C-trap dissociation (HCD) conditions, which reduces the coefficients of variability (CVs) of the quantification to 0.7-2.8%. Our results document, for the first time, that the workflow using a combination of stable isotope labeled standards with intrascan normalization enables quantification of the glycopeptides by an electron transfer dissociation (ETD) workflow, as well as the HCD workflow, with the highest sensitivity compared to traditional workflows. This was exemplified by a rapid quantification (13 min) of IgG1 Fc glycoforms from COVID-19 patients.

Identification and Relative Quantification of hFSH Glycoforms in Women's Sera via MS-PRM-Based Approach.

Project description:Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycohormone synthesized by adenohypophysis, and it stimulates ovulation in women and spermatogenesis in men by binding to its receptor (FSHR). FSHR is involved in several mechanisms to transduce intracellular signals in response to the FSH stimulus. Exogenous FSH is currently used in the clinic for ovarian hyperstimulation during in vitro fertilization in women, and for treatment of infertility caused by gonadotropin deficiency in men. The glycosylation of FSH strongly affects the binding affinity to its receptor, hence significantly influencing the biological activity of the hormone. Therefore, the accurate measurement and characterization of serum hFSH glycoforms will contribute to elucidating the complex mechanism of action by which different glycoforms elicit distinct biological activity. Nowadays ELISA is the official method with which to monitor serum hFSH, but the test is unable to distinguish between the different FSH glycovariants and is therefore unsuitable to study the biological activity of this hormone. This study presents a preliminary alternative strategy for identifying and quantifying serum hFSH glycoforms based on immunopurification assay and mass spectrometry (MS), and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis. In this study, we provide an MS-PRM data acquisition method for hFSH glycopeptides identification with high specificity and their quantification by extracting the chromatographic traces of selected fragments of glycopeptides. Once set up for all its features, the proposed method could be transferred to the clinic to improve fertility treatments and follow-ups in men and women.

Sensitive LC-MS/MS Assay for Total Testosterone Quantification on Unit Resolution and High-Resolution Instruments.

Project description:Background: Testosterone is an androgenic hormone that plays important roles in both males and females. The circulating levels of total testosterone vary from 1 to 1480 ng/dL. High-throughput immunoassays often lack accuracy in lower concentration ranges (below 100 ng/dL), particularly when used for females or children. To address this limitation, we developed a total testosterone LC-MS/MS assay on three instruments. Methods: Sample preparation began with the dilution and conditioning of 200 µL of serum. A supported liquid extraction cartridge was used to extract the analyte from biological matrices. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a C18 column with a runtime of 5 min per sample. This assay was validated on a Triple Quad 6500 and an API 4500 instrument. Results: Method validation was carried out according to the CLSI C62-ED2 guideline and our hospital protocol. The within-day coefficient of variation (CV) was less than 10% and the between-day CV was less than 15%. The assay had a limit of quantitation of 0.5 ng/dL with an analyte measure range of 2-1200 ng/dL. A comparison using Deming regression and Bland-Altman plots showed that this assay correlated well with a reference method. The results from the API 4500 and an Orbitrap were consistent with those from the TQ 6500. Both serum-separator tubes (BD) and serum-activator tubes were found to be suitable. Conclusions: We successfully developed and validated a robust total testosterone LC-MS/MS assay for routine clinical testing. This assay was harmonized across two triple quadrupole instruments and one high-resolution mass spectrometer.

A validated LC-MS/MS assay for quantification of 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.

Project description:24(S)-hydroxycholesterol [24(S)-HC] is a cholesterol metabolite that is formed almost exclusively in the brain. The concentrations of 24(S)-HC in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and/or plasma might be a sensitive marker of altered cholesterol metabolism in the CNS. A highly sensitive 2D-LC-MS/MS assay was developed for the quantification of 24(S)-HC in human plasma and CSF. In the development of an assay for 24(S)-HC in CSF, significant nonspecific binding of 24(S)-HC was observed and resolved with the addition of 2.5% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) into CSF samples. The sample preparation consists of liquid-liquid extraction with methyl-tert-butyl ether and derivatization with nicotinic acid. Good linearity was observed in a range from 1 to 200 ng/ml and from 0.025 to 5 ng/ml, for plasma and CSF, respectively. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the calibration curve ranges. Stability of 24(S)-HC was reported under a variety of storage conditions. This method has been successfully applied to support a National Institutes of Health-sponsored clinical trial of HP-β-CD in Niemann-Pick type C1 patients, in which 24(S)-HC is used as a pharmacodynamic biomarker.

Rapid LC-MS assay for targeted metabolite quantification by serial injection into isocratic gradients.

Project description:Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has emerged as a mainstream strategy for metabolomics analyses. One advantage of LC-MS is that it can serve both as a biomarker discovery tool and as a platform for clinical diagnostics. Consequently, it offers an exciting opportunity to potentially transition research studies into real-world clinical tools. One important distinction between research versus diagnostics-based applications of LC-MS is throughput. Clinical LC-MS must enable quantitative analyses of target molecules in hundreds or thousands of samples each day. Currently, the throughput of these clinical applications is limited by the chromatographic gradient lengths, which-when analyzing complex metabolomics samples-are difficult to conduct in under ~ 3 min per sample without introducing serious quantitative analysis problems. To address this shortcoming, we developed sequential quantification using isotope dilution (SQUID), an analytical strategy that combines serial sample injections into a continuous isocratic mobile phase to maximize throughput. SQUID uses internal isotope-labelled standards to correct for changes in LC-MS response factors over time. We show that SQUID can detect microbial polyamines in human urine specimens (lower limit of quantification; LLOQ = 106 nM) with less than 0.019 normalized root mean square error. Moreover, we show that samples can be analyzed in as little as 57 s. We propose SQUID as a new, high-throughput LC-MS tool for quantifying small sets of target biomarkers across large cohorts.

A Novel LC-MS/MS Assay for Quantification of Des-carboxy Prothrombin and Characterization of Warfarin-Induced Changes.

Project description:Warfarin is a narrow therapeutic index anticoagulant drug and its use is associated with infrequent but significant adverse bleeding events. The international normalized ratio (INR) is the most commonly used biomarker to monitor and titrate warfarin therapy. However, INR is derived from a functional assay, which determines clotting efficiency at the time of measurement and is susceptible to technical variability. Protein induced by vitamin K antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) has been suggested as a biomarker of long-term vitamin K status, providing mechanistic insights about variation in the functional assay. However, the currently available antibody-based PIVKA-II assay does not inform on the position and number of des-carboxylation sites in prothrombin. The assay presented in this paper provides simultaneous quantification of carboxy and des-carboxy prothrombin that are essential for monitoring early changes in INR and, thus, serves as the superior tool for managing warfarin therapy. Additionally, this assay permits the quantification of total prothrombin level, which is affected by warfarin treatment. Prothrombin recovery from plasma was 95% and the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay was linear (r2 = 0.98) with a dynamic range of 1-100 µg/mL. The assay interday precision was within 20%. A des-carboxy peptide of prothrombin (GNLER) was negatively correlated with active prothrombin (Pearson r = 0.99, P < 0.0001), whereas its association was positively linked with INR values (Pearson r = 0.75, P < 0.015). This novel LC-MS/MS assay for active and inactive prothrombin quantification can be applied to titrate anticoagulant therapy and to monitor the impact of diseases, such as hepatocellular carcinoma on clotting physiology.

Isomer-specific LC/MS and LC/MS/MS profiling of the mouse serum N-glycome revealing a number of novel sialylated N-glycans.

Project description:Mice are the premier mammalian models for studies of human physiology and disease, bearing extensive biological similarity to humans with far fewer ethical, economic, or logistic complications. To facilitate glycomic studies based on the mouse model, we comprehensively profiled the mouse serum N-glycome using isomer-specific nano-LC/MS and -LC/MS/MS. N-Glycans were identified by accurate mass MS and structurally elucidated by MS/MS. Porous graphitized carbon nano-LC was able to separate out nearly 300 N-linked glycan compounds (including isomers) from just over 100 distinct N-linked glycan compositions. Additional MS/MS structural analysis was performed on a number of novel N-glycans, revealing the structural characteristics of modifications such as dehydration, O-acetylation, and lactylation. Experimental findings were combined with known glycobiology to generate a theoretical library of all biologically possible mouse serum N-glycan compositions. The library may be used for automated identification of complex mixtures of mouse N-glycans, with possible applications to a wide range of mouse-related research endeavors, including pharmaceutical drug development and biomarker discovery.

Stoichiometric quantification of Akt phosphorylation using LC-MS/MS.

Project description:The Ptdlns-3-kinase (PI3-K) signaling pathway plays a vital role in cell survival, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation in normal cells, as well as in diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Quantification of phospho-Akt is a standard way of assessing the activity of the PI3-K signaling pathway in both cells and tumors. This measurement is traditionally performed semiquantitatively using immunoassays such as Western blot. Here we report an LC-MS method to accurately measure the stoichiometry of Akt phosphorylation in biological samples. The procedure includes immunoprecipitation, gel electrophoresis, in-gel digestion, addition of isotopicaly labeled internal standards and LC-MS/MS. Two proteolytic enzymes, chymotrypsin and trypsin, were used to generate suitable peptide fragments for measuring Thr308 and Ser473 phosphorylation, respectively. The interday imprecision was estimated to be 3.8% and 2.3% for Thr308 and Ser473, respectively. This method has been tested on human T-cells grown in presence and absence of pervanadate and with or without a PI3-K inhibitor and on human glioblastoma cells (U-87 MG) grown in presence and absence of wortmannin (PI3-K inhibitor).The results of T cells suggest that the levels of Akt phosphorylation in untreated cells were below 1% for both phosphorylation sites. Pervanadate treatment provoked an 18-fold increase in phosphorylation of Thr308 and the PI3-K inhibitor partially reversed the increase. A comparison between LC-MS/MS and Western blotting suggests that the LC-MS based method is of comparable sensitivity and provides a more accurate phosphorylation stoichiometry, a wider dynamic range and more in-depth information. The application of the new method and its utility to providing predictive markers of response to targeted therapies is discussed.
