Hamidli N, Pajaziti B, Andrási M, Nagy C, Gáspár A. Determination of human insulin and its six therapeutic analogues by capillary electrophoresis - mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr A 2022; 1678:463351. [PMID: 35905683 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2022.463351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
In this work, human insulin and its 6 analogues were separated and determined using CZE-MS. Three different capillaries (bare fused silica, successive multiple ionic-polymer layer (SMIL) and static linear polyacrylamide (LPA) coated) were compared based on their separation performances in their optimal operating conditions. Coated capillaries demonstrated slightly better separation of the components, although some components showed wide, distorted peaks. The highest plate number could be obtained in the SMIL capillary (192 000/m). For UV and ESI-MS detection relatively similar LOD values were obtained (0.3-1.2 mg/L and 1.0-3.4 mg/L, respectively). The application of MS detection provided useful structural information and unambiguous identification for insulins having similar or the same molecular mass. This work is considered to be important not only for the investigation of insulins but also for its potential contribution to the top-down analysis of proteins using CE-MS.

Abstract
Host cell proteins (HCPs) are widely regarded as a critical quality attribute for a biotherapeutic product. Bottom up MS is the present gold standard for HCP analysis but suffers from incomplete protein identification due to complex nature of the HCP mixture and limited separation efficiency of the preceding LC-based systems. In this paper, we present for the first time an application involving use of LC-CE-MS/MS platform for analysis of HCPs. It has been demonstrated that the proposed platform has been able to successfully identify 397 HCPs from the supernatants of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cells, twice and thrice the number of proteins identified by the state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS (189 HCPs) and CE-MS/MS (128 HCPs) analyses, respectively. Of these, 225 HCPs were unique to the LC-CE-MS/MS approach and were not identified by either LC-MS/MS or CE-MS/MS. It is observed that the LC-CE-MS/MS platform combines the benefits of LC-MS/MS and CE-MS/MS techniques and identifies peptides in a wider range of size, pI, and hydrophobicity. Additionally, LC-CE-MS/MS also identified more HCPs associated with cellular components, molecular functions, biological processes, peptidases, and secretory proteins. The proposed approach would thus be a useful addition in HCP analysis and secretome studies of mAb-producing Chinese hamster ovary cells.

Abstract
MS-based proteome profiling has become increasingly comprehensive and quantitative, yet a persistent shortcoming has been the relatively large samples required to achieve an in-depth measurement. Such bulk samples, typically comprising thousands of cells or more, provide a population average and obscure important cellular heterogeneity. Single-cell proteomics capabilities have the potential to transform biomedical research and enable understanding of biological systems with a new level of granularity. Recent advances in sample processing, separations and MS instrumentation now make it possible to quantify >1000 proteins from individual mammalian cells, a level of coverage that required an input of thousands of cells just a few years ago. This review discusses important factors and parameters that should be optimized across the workflow for single-cell and other low-input measurements. It also highlights recent developments that have advanced the field and opportunities for further development.

Abstract
The existence of cellular heterogeneity and its central relevance to biological phenomena provides a strong rationale for a need for analytical methods that enable analysis at the single-cell level. Analysis of the genome and transcriptome is possible at the single-cell level, but the comprehensive interrogation of the proteome with this level of resolution remains challenging. Single-cell protein analysis tools are advancing rapidly, however, and providing insights into collections of proteins with great relevance to cell and disease biology. Here, we review single-cell protein analysis technologies and assess their advantages and limitations. The emerging technologies presented have the potential to reveal new insights into tumour heterogeneity and therapeutic resistance, elucidate mechanisms of immune response and immunotherapy, and accelerate drug discovery.

Abstract
Progress in proteomics research has led to a demand for powerful analytical tools with high separation efficiency and sensitivity for confident identification and quantification of proteins, posttranslational modifications, and protein complexes expressed in cells and tissues. This demand has significantly increased interest in capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) in the past few years. This review provides highlights of recent advances in CE-MS for proteomics research, including a short introduction to top-down mass spectrometry and native mass spectrometry (native MS), as well as a detailed overview of CE methods. Both the potential and limitations of these methods for the analysis of proteins and peptides in synthetic and biological samples and the challenges of CE methods are discussed, along with perspectives about the future direction of CE-MS. @ 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Novel mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic tools with extremely high sensitivity and high peak capacity are required for comprehensive characterization of protein molecules in mass-limited samples. We reported a nanoRPLC-CZE-MS/MS system for deep bottom-up proteomics of low micrograms of human cell samples in previous work. In this work, we improved the sensitivity of the nanoRPLC-CZE-MS/MS system drastically via employing bovine serum albumin (BSA)-treated sample vials, improving the nanoRPLC fraction collection procedure, and using a short capillary for fast CZE separation. The improved nanoRPLC-CZE produced a peak capacity of 8500 for peptide separation. The improved system identified 6500 proteins from a MCF7 proteome digest starting with only 500 ng of peptides using a Q-Exactive HF mass spectrometer. The system produced a comparable number of protein identifications (IDs) to our previous system and the two-dimensional (2D) nanoRPLC-MS/MS system developed by Mann's group with 10-fold and 4-fold less sample consumption, respectively. We coupled the single-spot solid phase sample preparation (SP3) method to the improved nanoRPLC-CZE-MS/MS for bottom-up proteomics of 5000 HEK293T cells, resulting in 3689 protein IDs with the consumption of a peptide amount that corresponded to only roughly 1000 cells.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) offers fast and high-resolution separation of charged analytes from small injection volumes. Coupled to mass spectrometry (MS), it represents a powerful analytical technique providing (exact) mass information and enables molecular characterization based on fragmentation. Although hyphenation of CE and MS is not straightforward, much emphasis has been placed on enabling efficient ionization and user-friendly coupling. Though several interfaces are now commercially available, research on more efficient and robust interfacing with nano-electrospray ionization (ESI), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP) continues with considerable results. At the same time, CE-MS has been used in many fields, predominantly for the analysis of proteins, peptides and metabolites. This review belongs to a series of regularly published articles, summarizing 248 articles covering the time between June 2016 and May 2018. Latest developments on hyphenation of CE with MS as well as instrumental developments such as two-dimensional separation systems with MS detection are mentioned. Furthermore, applications of various CE-modes including capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE), capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) and capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) coupled to MS in biological, pharmaceutical and environmental research are summarized.

Abstract
Detection of proteins which may be potential biomarkers of disorders represents a big step forward in understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie pathological processes. In this context proteomics plays the important role of opening a path for the identification of molecular signatures that can potentially assist in early diagnosis of several clinical disturbances. Aim of this report is to provide an overview of the wide variety of proteomic strategies that have been applied to the investigation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a severe disorder that causes an irreversible damage to the lungs and for which there is no cure yet. The results in this area published over the past decade show that proteomics indeed has the ability of monitoring alterations in expression profiles of proteins from fluids/tissues of patients affected by COPD and healthy controls. However, these data also suggest that proteomics, while being an attractive tool for the identification of novel pathological mediators of COPD, remains a technique mainly generated and developed in research laboratories. Great efforts dedicated to the validation of these biological signatures will result in the proof of their clinical utility.

Abstract
Capillary zone electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-MS/MS) has been well recognized for bottom-up proteomics. It has approached 4000-8000 protein identifications (IDs) from a human cell line, mouse brains, or Xenopus embryos via coupling with liquid chromatography (LC) prefractionation. However, at least 500 μg of complex proteome digests were required for the LC/CZE-MS/MS studies. This requirement of a large amount of initial peptide material impedes the application of CZE-MS/MS for deep bottom-up proteomics of mass-limited samples. In this work, we coupled microscale reversed-phase LC (μRPLC)-based peptide prefractionation to dynamic pH-junction-based CZE-MS/MS for deep bottom-up proteomics of the MCF7 breast cancer cell proteome starting with only 5 μg of peptides. The dynamic pH-junction-based CZE enabled a 500 nL sample injection from as low as a 1.5 μL peptide sample, using up to 33% of the available peptide material for an analysis. Two kinds of μRPLC prefractionation were investigated, C18 ZipTip and nanoflow RPLC. C18 ZipTip/CZE-MS/MS identified 4453 proteins from 5 μg of the MCF7 proteome digest and showed good qualitative and quantitative reproducibility. Nanoflow RPLC/CZE-MS/MS produced over 7500 protein IDs and nearly 60 000 peptide IDs from the 5 μg of MCF7 proteome digest. The nanoflow RPLC/CZE-MS/MS platform reduced the required amount of complex proteome digests for LC/CZE-MS/MS-based deep bottom-up proteomics by 2 orders of magnitude. Our work provides the proteomics community with a powerful tool for deep and highly sensitive proteomics.

Abstract
The ability to detect peptides and proteins in single cells is vital for understanding cell heterogeneity in the nervous system. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) nanoelectrospray ionization (nanoESI) provides high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) with trace-level sensitivity, but compressed separation during CE challenges protein identification by tandem HRMS with limited MS/MS duty cycle. Here, we supplemented ultrasensitive CE-nanoESI-HRMS with reversed-phase (RP) fractionation to enhance identifications from protein digest amounts that approximate to a few mammalian neurons. An ~1 to 20 μg neuronal protein digest was fractionated on a RP column (ZipTip), and 1 ng to 500 pg of peptides were analyzed by a custom-built CE-HRMS system. Compared with the control (no fractionation), RP fractionation improved CE separation (theoretical plates ~274,000 versus 412,000 maximum, resp.), which enhanced detection sensitivity (2.5-fold higher signal-to-noise ratio), minimized co-isolation spectral interferences during MS/MS, and increased the temporal rate of peptide identification by up to ~57%. From 1 ng of protein digest (<5 neurons), CE with RP fractionation identified 737 protein groups (1,753 peptides), or ~480 protein groups (~1,650 peptides) on average per analysis. The approach was scalable to 500 pg of protein digest (~a single neuron), identifying 225 protein groups (623 peptides) in technical triplicates, or 141 protein groups on average per analysis. Among identified proteins, 101 proteins were products of genes that are known to be transcriptionally active in single neurons during early development of the brain, including those involved in synaptic transmission and plasticity and cytoskeletal organization.

Strong cation exchange-reversed phase liquid chromatography-capillary zone electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry platform with high peak capacity for deep bottom-up proteomics. Anal Chim Acta 2018; 1012:1-9.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) are typically employed for deep bottom-up proteomics, and the state-of-the-art 2D-LC-MS/MS has approached over 8000 protein identifications (IDs) from mammalian cell lines or tissues in 1-3 days of mass spectrometer time. Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-MS/MS has been suggested as an alternative to LC-MS/MS for bottom-up proteomics. CZE-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS are complementary in protein/peptide ID from complex proteome digests because CZE and LC are orthogonal for peptide separation. In addition, the migration time of peptides from CZE-MS can be predicted accurately, which is invaluable for evaluating the confidence of peptide ID from the database search and even guiding the database search. However, the number of protein IDs from complex proteomes using CZE-MS/MS is still much lower than the state of the art using 2D-LC-MS/MS. In this work, for the first time, we established a strong cation exchange (SCX)-reversed phase LC (RPLC)-CZE-MS/MS platform for deep bottom-up proteomics. The platform identified around 8200 protein groups and 65,000 unique peptides from a mouse brain proteome digest in 70 h. The data represents the largest bottom-up proteomics dataset using CZE-MS/MS and provides a valuable resource for further improving the tool for prediction of peptide migration time in CZE. The peak capacity of the orthogonal SCX-RPLC-CZE platform was estimated to be around 7000. SCX-RPLC-CZE-MS/MS produced comparable numbers of protein and peptide IDs with 2D-LC-MS/MS (8200 vs. 8900 protein groups, 65,000 vs. 70,000 unique peptides) from the mouse brain proteome digest using comparable instrument time. This is the first time that CZE-MS/MS showed its capability to approach comparable performance to the state-of-the-art 2D-LC-MS/MS for deep proteomic sequencing. SCX-RPLC-CZE-MS/MS and 2D-LC-MS/MS showed good complementarity in protein and peptide IDs and combining those two methods improved the number of protein group and unique peptide IDs by nearly 10% and over 40%, respectively, compared with 2D-LC-MS/MS alone.

Abstract
The capacity to regenerate the spinal cord after an injury is a coveted trait that only a limited group of nonmammalian organisms can achieve. In Xenopus laevis, this capacity is only present during larval or tadpole stages, but is absent during postmetamorphic frog stages. This provides an excellent model for comparative studies between a regenerative and a nonregenerative stage to identify the cellular and molecular mechanisms that explain this difference in regenerative potential. Here, we used iTRAQ chemistry to obtain a quantitative proteome of the spinal cord 1 day after a transection injury in regenerative and nonregenerative stage animals, and used sham operated animals as controls. We quantified a total of 6,384 proteins, with 172 showing significant differential expression in the regenerative stage and 240 in the nonregenerative stage, with an overlap of only 14 proteins. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that although the regenerative stage downregulated synapse/vesicle and mitochondrial proteins, the nonregenerative stage upregulated lipid metabolism proteins, and downregulated ribosomal and translation control proteins. Furthermore, STRING network analysis showed that proteins belonging to these groups are highly interconnected, providing interesting candidates for future functional studies. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD006993.

Abstract
Reversed-phase chromatographic separation of glycopeptides tends to be dominated by the peptide composition. In contrast, capillary zone electrophoresis separation of glycopeptides is particularly sensitive to the sialic acid composition of the glycan. In this paper, we combine the two techniques to achieve superior N-glycopeptide analysis. Glycopeptides were first isolated from a tryptic digest using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) solid-phase extraction. The glycopeptides were separated using reversed-phase ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) to generate four fractions corresponding to different peptide backbones. Capillary zone electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-ESI-MS/MS) was used to analyze the fractions. We applied this method for the analysis of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP). A total of 268 site-specific N-glycopeptides were detected, representing eight different glycosylation sites from two isomers of AGP. Glycans included tetra-sialic acids with multi N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) repeats and unusual pentasialylated terminal sialic acids. Reversed-phase UHPLC coupled with CZE generated ∼35% more N-glycopeptides than direct reversed-phase UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis and ∼70% more N-glycopeptides than direct CZE-ESI-MS/MS analysis. This approach is a promising tool for global, site-specific glycosylation analysis of highly heterogeneous glycoproteins with mass-limited samples.

Abstract
The review brings a comprehensive overview of recent developments and applications of high performance capillary and microchip electroseparation methods (zone electrophoresis, isotachophoresis, isoelectric focusing, affinity electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography, and electrochromatography) to analysis, microscale isolation, purification, and physicochemical and biochemical characterization of peptides in the years 2015, 2016, and ca. up to the middle of 2017. Advances in the investigation of electromigration properties of peptides and in the methodology of their analysis (sample preseparation, preconcentration and derivatization, adsorption suppression and EOF control, and detection) are described. New developments in particular CE and CEC methods are presented and several types of their applications to peptide analysis are reported: qualitative and quantitative analysis, determination in complex (bio)matrices, monitoring of chemical and enzymatical reactions and physical changes, amino acid, sequence and chiral analysis, and peptide mapping of proteins. Some micropreparative peptide separations are shown and capabilities of CE and CEC methods to provide important physicochemical characteristics of peptides are demonstrated.

Abstract
This report reviews the literature of the past decade dealing with the combination of electrokinetic and chromatographic strategies in the proteomic field. Aim of this article is to highlight how the application of complementary techniques may contribute to substantially improve protein identification. Several studies here considered demonstrate that exploring the combination of these approaches can be a strategy to enrich the extent of proteomic information achieved from a sample. The coupling of "top-down" and "bottom-up" proteomics may result in the generation of a hybrid analytical tool, very efficient not only for large-scale profiling of complex proteomes but also for studying specific subproteomes. The range of applications described, while evidencing a continuous boost in the imagination of researchers for developing new combinations of methods for protein separation, also underlines the adaptability of these techniques to a wide variety of samples. This report points out the general usefulness of combining different procedures for proteomic analysis, an approach that allows researchers to go deeper in the proteome of samples under investigation.

Abstract
A multiparametric sequence-specific model for predicting peptide electrophoretic mobility has been developed using large-scale bottom-up proteomic CE-MS data (5% (∼0.8M) acetic acid as background electrolyte). Peptide charge (Z) and size (molecular mass, M) are the two major factors determining electrophoretic mobility, in complete agreement with previous studies. The extended size of the data set (>4000 peptides) permits access to many sequence-specific factors that impact peptide mobility. The presence of acidic residues Asp and Glu near the peptide N-terminus is by far the most prominent among them. The induction effect of the side chain of N-terminal Asp reduces the basicity of the N-terminal amino group and, as hence, its charge, by ∼0.27 units, lowering mobility. The correlation of the model (R2 ∼ 0.995) indicates that the peptide separation process in CZE is relatively simple and can be predicted to a much higher precision than current RP-HPLC models. Similar to RP-HPLC prediction studies, we anticipate future developments that introduce peptide migration standards, collect larger data sets for modeling through the alignment of multiple CZE-MS acquisitions, and study of the behavior of peptides carrying post-translational modifications. The increased size of data sets will also permit investigation of the fine-scale effects of peptide secondary structure on peptide mobility. We observed that peptides with higher helical propensity tend to have higher than predicted electrophoretic mobility; the incorporation of these features into CZE migration models will require significantly larger data sets.
