Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22158261. [PMID: 34361026 PMCID: PMC8348851 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22158261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In the presented study, a capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry method combining high separation efficiency and sensitive detection has been developed and validated, for the first time, to quantify branched chain amino acids (valine, isoleucine, leucine) in commercial food and sport supplement samples and human plasma samples. The separations were performed in a bare fused silica capillary. The background electrolyte was composed of 500 mM formic acid with pH 2.0. The plasma sample pretreatment was realized by simple protein precipitation with acetonitrile. Injection of a short zone of highly basic electrolyte before the sample injection and application of the negative pressure on the separation were accompanied by enhanced resolution of the isobaric amino acids—isoleucine and leucine. The developed method was characterized by favorable validation parameters, such as linearity (r2 > 0.99), accuracy and precision, the limit of detection, lower limit of quantification, or robustness. These parameters were more than sufficient for the quantification of branched chain amino acids in various samples. The determined concentrations of branched chain amino acids in food and sports supplements were in very good agreement with the content declared by the manufacturer. The investigated concentrations of branched chain amino acids were in the range 294.68–359.24 µM for valine, 91.76–95.67 µM for isoleucine, and 196.78–251.24 µM for leucine. These concentrations fall within the physiological limits. The developed CE-MS/MS method represents a suitable alternative to traditional approaches used in branched chain amino acid quality control and bioanalysis.

Abstract
Glycosylation can be a critical quality attribute for protein therapeutics due to its extensive impact on product safety and efficacy. Glycan characterization is important in the process of protein drug development, from early stage candidate selection to late stage regulatory submission. It is also an indispensable part in the evaluation of biosimilarity. This review discusses the effects of glycosylation on the stability and activity of protein therapeutics, regulatory considerations corresponding to manufacturing and structural characterization of glycosylated protein therapeutics, and focuses on mass spectrometry compatible separation methods for glycan characterization of protein therapeutics. These approaches include hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography, reversed-phase liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, porous graphitic carbon liquid chromatography and two-dimensional liquid chromatography. Advances and novelties in each separation method, as well as associated challenges and limitations, are discussed at the released glycan, glycopeptide, glycoprotein subunit and intact glycoprotein levels.

Abstract
In the field of metabolomics, capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) can be considered a very useful analytical tool for the profiling of polar and charged metabolites. However, variability of migration time is an important issue in CE. An elegant way to minimize this problem is the use of non-covalently coated capillaries that is dynamic coating of the bare fused-silica capillary with solutions of charged polymers. In this protocol, an improved strategy for the profiling of cationic metabolites in urine by CE-MS using multilayered non-covalent capillary coatings is presented. Capillaries are coated with a bilayer of polybrene (PB) and poly(vinyl sulfonate) (PVS) or with a triple layer of PB, dextran sulfate (DS), and PB. The bilayer- and triple-layer-coated capillaries have a negative and positive outside layer, respectively. It is shown that the use of such capillaries provides very repeatable migration times.

Abstract
Glycomics and glycoproteomics analyses by mass spectrometry require efficient front-end separation methods to enable deep characterization of heterogeneous glycoform populations. Chromatography methods are generally limited in their ability to resolve glycoforms using mobile phases that are compatible with online liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The adoption of capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry methods (CE-MS) for glycomics and glycoproteomics is limited by the lack of convenient interfaces for coupling the CE devices to mass spectrometers. Here, we describe the application of a microfluidics-based CE-MS system for analysis of released glycans, glycopeptides and monosaccharides. We demonstrate a single CE method for three different modalities, thus contributing to comprehensive glycoproteomics analyses. In addition, we explored compatible sample derivatization methods. We used glycan TMT-labeling to improve electrophoretic migration and enable multiplexed quantitation by tandem MS. We used sialic acid linkage-specific derivatization methods to improve separation and the level of information obtained from a single analytical step. Capillary electrophoresis greatly improved glycoform separation for both released glycans and glycopeptides over that reported for chromatography modes more frequently employed for such analyses. Overall, the CE-MS method described here enables rapid setup and analysis of glycans and glycopeptides using mass spectrometry.

With the development of more sensitive hyphenation strategies for capillary electrophoresis-electrospray-mass spectrometry the technique has reemerged as technique with high separation power combined with high sensitivity in the analysis of peptides and protein digests. This review will discuss the newly developed hyphenation strategies for CE-ESI-MS and their application in bottom-up proteomics as well as the applications in the same time span, 2009 to present, using co-axial sheathliquid. Subsequently all separate aspects in the development of a CE-ESI-MS method for bottom-up proteomics shall be discussed, highlighting certain applications and discussing pros and cons of the various choices. The separation of peptides in a capillary electrophoresis system is discussed including the great potential for modeling of this migration of peptides due to the simple electrophoretic separation process. Furthermore, the technical aspects of method development are discussed, namely; background electrolyte choice, coating of the separation capillary and chosen loading method. Finally, conclusions and an outlook on future developments in the field of bottom-up proteomics by CE-ESI-MS will be provided.

Abstract
Recent advances in capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) interfacing using porous tip is leading to commercialization of CE-MS with a sheathless interface for the first time. The new sheathless interface in conjunction with CE capillary coatings using self-coating background electrolytes (BGE) has significantly simplified CE-MS analysis of complex mixtures. CE-MS, with its high separation efficiency, compound identification capability, and ability to rapidly separate compounds with a wide range of mass and charge while consuming only nanoliters of samples, has become a valuable analytical technique for the analysis of complex biological mixtures. These advances have allowed a single capillary to analyze a range of compounds including amino acids, their D/L enantiomers, protein digests, intact proteins, and protein complexes. With these capabilities, CE-MS is poised to become the multipurpose tool of separation scientists. More recently, an eight-capillary CE in conjunction with an 8-inlet mass spectrometry has allowed 8 CE-MS analyses to be performed concurrently, significantly increasing throughput.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) has emerged as a powerful technique for the analysis of proteins and peptides. Over the past few years, significant progress has been made in the development of novel and more effective interfaces for hyphenating CE to MS. This review provides an overview of these new interfacing techniques for coupling CE to MS, covering the scientific literature from January 2007 to December 2011. The potential of these new CE-MS interfacing techniques is demonstrated within the field of (clinical) proteomics, more specifically "bottom-up" proteomics, by showing examples of the analysis of various biological samples. The relevant papers on CE-MS for proteomics are comprehensively summarized in tables, including, e.g. information on sample type and pretreatment, interfacing and MS detection mode. Finally, general conclusions and future perspectives are provided.

Abstract
A methodology for capillary electrophoresis/electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (CE/ESI-MS) was developed for the simultaneous analysis of degradation products from paper among two families of compounds: low molar mass aliphatic organic acids, and aromatic (phenolic and furanic) compounds. The work comprises the optimisation of the CE separation and the ESI-MS parameters for improved sensitivity with model compounds using two successive designs of experiments. The method was applied to the analysis of lignocellulosic paper at different stages of accelerated hygrothermal ageing. The compounds of interest were identified. Most of them could be quantified and several additional analytes were separated.

Abstract
In this work, the usefulness of capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization time-of-flight-mass spectrometry for the analysis of biopharmaceuticals was studied. Noncovalently bound capillary coatings consisting of Polybrene-poly(vinyl sulfonic acid) or Polybrene-dextran sulfate-Polybrene were used to minimize protein and peptide adsorption, and achieve good separation efficiencies. The potential of the capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) system to characterize degradation products was investigated by analyzing samples of the drugs, recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) and oxytocin, which had been subjected to prolonged storage, heat exposure, and/or different pH values. Modifications could be assigned based on accurate masses as obtained with time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) and migration times with respect to the parent compound. For heat-exposed rhGH, oxidations, sulfonate formation, and deamidations were observed. Oxytocin showed strong deamidation (up to 40%) upon heat exposure at low pH, whereas at medium and high pH, mainly dimer (>10%) and trisulfide formation (6-7%) occurred. Recombinant human interferon-β-1a (rhIFN-β) was used to evaluate the capability of the CE-MS method to assess glycan heterogeneity of pharmaceutical proteins. Analysis of this N-glycosylated protein revealed a cluster of resolved peaks which appeared to be caused by at least ten glycoforms differing merely in sialic acid and hexose N-acetylhexosamine composition. Based on the relative peak area (assuming an equimolar response per glycoform), a quantitative profile could be derived with the disialytated biantennary glycoform as most abundant (52%). Such a profile may be useful for in-process and quality control of rhIFN-β batches. It is concluded that the separation power provided by combined capillary electrophoresis and TOF-MS allows discrimination of highly related protein species.

The design and synthesis of alanine-based indolicidin derivatives with identical physicochemical properties and their separation using capillary electrophoresis. Anal Bioanal Chem 2010; 398:3073-9.

Abstract
Four novel alanine-based indolicidin peptide derivatives were designed containing one WPW motif and two alanine residues, resulting in peptides of similar sequence. The separation of these peptides with identical physicochemical properties including molar mass, charge, and secondary structure as characterized by circular dichroism spectroscopy is very difficult; and the separation of peptides with differing physicochemical properties has only previously been reported. Capillary electrophoresis parameters such as separation buffer concentration, separation buffer pH, capillary length, and separation voltage were investigated to optimize the analysis. Using optimized conditions of a background electrolyte containing 5 mM formic acid of pH 2.0, total capillary length of 51 cm and a voltage of 10 kV enabled a baseline separation of the four peptides. The relative standard deviation of the peak areas and migration times for method repeatability (n = 3) were found to be lower than 8% and 3%, respectively. In addition, reasoning for the separation of these peptides is proposed based on the acidity of the formic acid buffer and the hydrophobic grouping of the tryptophan residues in the peptide primary sequence.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoresis-time of flight-mass spectrometry (CE-TOF-MS) method for the analysis of amino acids in human urine was developed. Capillaries noncovalently coated with a bilayer of Polybrene (PB) and poly(vinyl sulfonate) (PVS) provided a considerable EOF at low pH, thus facilitating the fast separation of amino acids using a BGE of 1 M formic acid (pH 1.8). The PB-PVS coating proved to be very consistent yielding stable CE-MS patterns of amino acids in urine with favorable migration time repeatability (RSDs <2%). The relatively low sample loading capacity of CE was circumvented by an in-capillary preconcentration step based on pH-mediated stacking allowing 100-nL sample injection (i.e. ca. 4% of capillary volume). As a result, LODs for amino acids were down to 20 nM while achieving satisfactory separation efficiencies. Preliminary validation of the method with urine samples showed good linear responses for the amino acids (R(2) >0.99), and RSDs for peak areas were <10%. Special attention was paid to the influence of matrix effects on the quantification of amino acids. The magnitude of ion suppression by the matrix was similar for different urine samples. The CE-TOF-MS method was used for the analysis of urine samples of patients with urinary tract infection (UTI). Concentrations of a subset of amino acids were determined and compared with concentrations in urine of healthy controls. Furthermore, partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) of the CE-TOF-MS dataset in the 50-450 m/z region showed a distinctive grouping of the UTI samples and the control samples. Examination of score and loadings plot revealed a number of compounds, including phenylalanine, to be responsible for grouping of the samples. Thus, the CE-TOF-MS method shows good potential for the screening of body fluids based on the analysis of endogenous low-molecular weight metabolites such as amino acids and related compounds.

Abstract
The article brings a comprehensive survey of recent developments and applications of high-performance capillary electromigration methods, zone electrophoresis, ITP, IEF, affinity electrophoresis, EKC, and electrochromatography, to analysis, preparation, and physicochemical characterization of peptides. New approaches to the theoretical description and experimental verification of electromigration behavior of peptides and to methodology of their separations, such as sample preparation, adsorption suppression, and detection, are presented. Novel developments in individual CE and CEC modes are shown and several types of their applications to peptide analysis are presented: conventional qualitative and quantitative analysis, purity control, determination in biomatrices, monitoring of chemical and enzymatical reactions and physical changes, amino acid and sequence analysis, and peptide mapping of proteins. Some examples of micropreparative peptide separations are given and capabilities of CE and CEC techniques to provide important physicochemical characteristics of peptides are demonstrated.

Abstract
A method for a single-run separation of cationic, anionic, and polyanionic compounds by CE hyphenated to ESI MS (CE-ESI-MS) is described. One of the main issues for coupling CE to MS with an ESI source consists in maintaining an electric contact for the electrophoretic separation. This condition is only performed if a liquid flow arising from the separation capillary is directed to the needle, making it coupling-compatible. This latter situation is incompatible with the separations of polyanionic compounds of higher electrophoretic mobility (in absolute value) than the electroosmotic mobility, performed in bare fused-silica capillaries under a negative polarity. In this study, several alternative approaches were evaluated to circumvent this difficulty, and applied to the setup of the CE-MS separation of a mixture containing both cationic and polyanionic compounds, which are synthesis intermediates of contrast agents for medical imaging. Eventually, the detection of the cationic and anionic compounds in a single run could be obtained by either using neutrally coated polymethylsiloxane (DB-1) capillaries and simultaneously applying a negative voltage polarity and a pressure allowing to compensate for the residual cathodic EOF or by dynamically modifying the inner wall of a bare fused-silica capillary with a polycationic polymer (hexadimethrine bromide) and using it afterwards under negative voltage polarity.

Abstract
In a previous study on capillary electrophoresis-atmospheric pressure photoionization mass spectrometry (CE-APPI-MS), it was observed that the formation of gas-phase ions does not always proceed through photon-induced mechanisms (Hommerson, P.; Khan, A. M.; De Jong, G. J.; Somsen, G. W. Electrophoresis 2007, 28, 1444-1453). That is, analyte signals were observed when the VUV excitation source was switched off. The aim of the present study was to further explore this photon-independent ionization (PII) process. Parameters such as MS capillary voltage, compound nature, background electrolyte (BGE) composition, and presence of dopants were studied using a CE-APPI-MS setup. Infusion experiments showed a relatively low MS capillary voltage of approximately 600 V to be the main prerequisite for PII. Quaternary ammonium compounds showed strong responses in PII-MS but could not be observed in dopant-assisted APPI. Basic amines could be ionized by both photoionization (PI) and PII, whereas neutral compounds (steroids) could only be observed using PI. Nonvolatile BGEs appeared to cause substantial ionization suppression in PII, while PI signals remained largely unaffected. Selection of the proper interface and MS settings allowed PI and PII to proceed simultaneously, which broadened the range of compounds that could be analyzed in a single CE-APPI-MS run. Based on the observed characteristics, it is concluded that PII most probably occurs by a liquid-phase ionization mechanism, which appears to arise in the APPI source when specific conditions are selected.

Abstract
The characterization of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH; somatropin) by capillary electrophoresis (CE) with UV-absorbance and mass spectrometric (MS) detection using capillaries noncovalently coated with polybrene (PB) and poly(vinyl sulfonic acid) (PVS) is demonstrated. Compared with bare fused-silica capillaries, PB-PVS coated capillaries yielded more favorable migration-time reproducibilities and higher separation efficiencies. Optimal separation conditions for the bilayer-coated capillaries comprised a background electrolyte (BGE) of 400 mM Tris phosphate (pH 8.5) yielding migration-time R.S.D.s of less than 1.0% and plate numbers above 300,000 for intact rhGH. The protein was also analyzed using the CE method described in the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) monograph. The pharmacopoeial method gave much longer analysis times (22 min versus 8 min), lower resolution and plate numbers, and consecutive shifts in migration time for rhGH, indicating possible interactions between the protein and the inner capillary wall. Due to stable migration times obtained with the coated capillaries, reliable profiling and quantification of rhGH and its byproducts in time was possible. Analysis of thermally degraded rhGH revealed the formation of two main degradation products. CE-mass spectrometry (MS) of this sample, using a PB-PVS coated capillary and a BGE of 75 mM ammonium formate (pH 8.5), suggests that these products are desamido forms of rhGH. Analyses of expired rhGH preparations with CE-UV and CE-MS indicated the presence of both deamidation and oxidation products.

Abstract
The performance of atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) and ESI for CZE was compared using a set of seven drugs (basic amines, quaternary amines and steroids) and four different BGEs. The influence of volatile and nonvolatile BGEs of acidic and neutral pH on the MS responses of test compounds was evaluated by infusion of test solutions into the respective ion sources, and by actual CZE-MS experiments. The infusion experiments indicate that sodium phosphate buffers cause ionization suppression in ESI-MS, although for the amines the suppression was modest (25-60% signal reduction). By contrast, APPI-MS responses were not affected by nonvolatile BGEs. With phosphate buffers, ESI-MS responses for the basic amines were still a factor 3-13 higher than the APPI-MS signals, whereas the steroids yielded similar responses in ESI-MS and APPI-MS. The quaternary amines could readily be detected in ESI-MS, but detection in APPI-MS required specific interface conditions. Using typical CZE-APPI-MS settings, quaternary amines remained undetected. Remarkably, the S/Ns observed in CZE-ESI-MS for the test compounds, were generally similar when using volatile and nonvolatile BGEs. For basic compounds, the S/Ns obtained in CZE-ESI-MS were a factor 2-5 higher than in CZE-APPI-MS, whereas steroids yielded equal S/Ns in both methods. Overall, it is concluded that when using relatively low BGE concentrations, the sensitivity of ESI-MS detection in CZE is more favorable than APPI-MS detection, even when nonvolatile BGEs are employed.

Abstract
An on-line SPE-CE-MS system has been developed for the analysis of peptides. Analytes are preconcentrated using a C(18) microcolumn (5 x 0.5 mm id), and then introduced into the CE system via a valve interface. The CE system with a Polybrene-poly(vinylsulfonate) bilayer coated capillary is combined with an ion-trap mass spectrometer via ESI using a coaxial sheath-liquid sprayer. The on-line coupling of the SPE and CE step by the valve interface is advantageous because it allows an independent functioning of the system parts. Optimization of the SPE-CE system was performed using UV detection. Subsequently, the SPE-CE system has been coupled to the ion-trap mass spectrometer. Test solutions with enkephalin peptides (50 ng/mL) were used for evaluation of system performance. Repeatability of effective mobility and peak area ratio of the two enkephalins were within 1.2% and 9% RSD, respectively. The analysis of 1:1 v/v diluted cerebrospinal fluid samples spiked with enkephalin peptides showed detection limits (S/N = 3) in the range of 1.5-3 ng/mL (around 5 nM), which were similar to those obtained for enkephalin test solutions. Moreover, the potential of the on-line SPE-CE-MS system was demonstrated by the analysis of a cytochrome C digest. Some hydrophilic peptides did not show sufficient retention on the SPE column, and were lost during preconcentration. Nonetheless, positive identification of the protein was achieved, indicating the feasibility of the system for proteomics.

Abstract
To simplify capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) operation, a background electrolyte (BGE) containing a polymer additive is introduced that allows the analysis of peptides and protein mixtures in underivatized fused-silica capillaries without any pretreatment, thereby increasing throughput. The most important characteristic of these polymer additives is that they do not significantly suppress the signals of the proteins and peptides under electrospray ionization, thereby allowing them to be used as an additive to common BGEs that are used for CE-MS analysis of peptide and protein mixtures. In addition, because the fused-silica capillary inner wall is continuously coated with the polymer additive, migration irreproducibility, due to the degradation of the capillary inner wall coating, under CE-MS is minimized. High sensitivity of detection, migration reproducibility, and ease of fabrication allow CE-MS analyses that require long analysis time, such as (CE-MS/MS)n, to be performed with ease. The utility of this background electrolyte has been demonstrated for the analysis of complex protein digests and intact proteins.

Abstract
The feasibility of using noncovalently bilayer-coated capillaries for capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) of acidic proteins was investigated using background electrolytes (BGEs) of medium pH. The capillary was coated by successively rinsing the capillary with solutions of the oppositely charged polymers polybrene (PB) and poly(vinyl sulfonic acid) (PVS). Volatile BGEs containing ammonium formate and/or N-methyl morpholine were tested at pH 7.5 and 8.5. Overall, these BGEs provided relatively fast protein separations (analysis times of ca. 12 min) and showed high efficiencies (70,000-300,000 plates) when the ionic strength was sufficiently high. Migration-time reproducibilities were very favorable with RSDs of less than 1.0%. Infusion experiments showed satisfactory MS responses for studied proteins dissolved in ammonium formate (pH 8.5), however, high concentrations of N-methyl morpholine appeared to seriously suppress the MS protein signals. Evaluation of the CE-MS system was performed by analyzing a mixture of intact proteins yielding efficient separations and good-quality mass spectra. CE-MS analysis of a reconstituted formulation of the biopharmaceutical recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) which was stored for a prolonged time, revealed one degradation product which was provisionally identified as desamido rhGH. Based on the MS responses the amount of degradation was estimated to be ca. 25%.

Abstract
The ionization of phosphorylated peptides in positive ion mode mass spectrometry is generally less efficient compared with the ionization of their non-phosphorylated counterparts. This can make phosphopeptides much more difficult to detect. One way to enhance the detection of phosphorylated proteins and peptides is by selectively isolating these species. Current approaches of phosphopeptide isolation are based on the favorable interactions of phosphate groups with immobilized metals. While these methods can be effective in the extraction, they can lead to incomplete sample recovery, particularly for the most strongly bound multiply phosphorylated components. A non-sorptive method of phosphopeptide isolation using capillary electrophoresis (CE) was recently reported [Zhang et al., Anal. Chem. 77 (2005) 6078]. The relatively low isoelectric points of phosphopeptides cause them to remain anionic at acidic sample pH. Hence, they can be selectively injected into the capillary by an applied field after the electroosmotic flow (EOF) is suppressed. The technique was previously coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). In this work, the exploitation of selective sampling in conjugation with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is presented. The transition was not immediately straightforward. A number of major alterations were necessary for ESI interfacing. These adaptations include the choice of a suitable capillary coating for EOF control and the incorporation of organic solvent for efficient ESI. As expected, selective injection of phosphopeptides greatly enhanced the sensitivity of their detection in ESI-MS, particularly for the multiply phosphorylated species that were traditionally most problematic. Furthermore, an electrophoretic separation subsequent to the selective injection of the phosphopeptides was performed prior to analysis by ESI-MS. This allowed us to resolve the multiply phosphorylated peptides present in the samples, predominantly based on the number of phosphorylation sites on the peptides.
