Molecularly imprinted polymer coupled to UHPLC-MS/MS for the analysis of phomopsins in lupin samples. Talanta 2024; 278:126508.

Abstract
The demand for plant-based protein sources in the food industry has significantly increased in recent years, leading to the introduction of legume-based products as meat substitutes. However, concerns regarding food quality have emerged, particularly related to the presence of mycotoxins. This study addresses the need for the sensitive detection of phomopsins (PHOs), a class of peptide-based toxins. A selective extraction method using molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) coupled with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was focused on the most toxic Phomopsin A (PHO-A). A rapid ultrasonochemical synthesis of MIP (5 min) was proposed and its performance was optimized in response to various factors, including the choice of dummy template and the selection of the monomer. The methacrylic acid-vinyl pyridine (MAA-VP) MIP exhibited high selectivity and affinity for PHO-A. The method was tested in lupin samples and the validation, according to SANTE/11312/2021 international guidelines, gave excellent recovery (80-90 %), low matrix effects, and high accuracy and precision. Real samples analysis confirmed the presence of PHO-A in artificially fungal inoculated lupins, with levels ranging from 0.377 to 0.576 mg kg-1. In order to identify further PHOs, a semi-untargeted approach using multiple reaction monitoring-information dependent acquisition-enhanced product ion (MRM-IDA-EPI) was developed. PHO-B, PHO-D, PHO-E and PHO-P, rarely previously reported in lupin matrix, were tentatively identified. This study accounts for the effectiveness of MIP-based extraction coupled with UHPLC-triple quadrupole with linear ionic trap-MS/MS (UHPLC-QqQ-LIT-MS/MS) for quantification of PHO-A and putative detection of other PHOs, offering a promising method for investigating this class of toxins in food.

Abstract
Over the past decades, the proteomics field has undergone rapid growth. Progress in mass spectrometry and bioinformatics, together with separation methods, has brought many innovative approaches to the study of the molecular biology of the cell. The potential of affinity chromatography was recognized immediately after its first application in proteomics, and since that time, it has become one of the cornerstones of many proteomic protocols. Indeed, this chromatographic technique exploiting the specific binding between two molecules has been employed for numerous purposes, from selective removal of interfering (over)abundant proteins or enrichment of scarce biomarkers in complex biological samples to mapping the post-translational modifications and protein interactions with other proteins, nucleic acids or biologically active small molecules. This review presents a comprehensive survey of this versatile analytical tool in current proteomics. To navigate the reader, the haphazard space of affinity separations is classified according to the experiment's aims and the separated molecule's nature. Different types of available ligands and experimental strategies are discussed in further detail for each of the mentioned procedures.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:3085-3096. [PMID: 38556594 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05258-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
An isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) method that involves peptide-based protein analysis was developed to accurately quantify insulin. In this study, a signature peptide (GFFYTPK) obtained from tryptic digestion of insulin was selected as a surrogate for insulin. Then, the optimal conditions for signature peptide analysis through mass spectrometry detection and enzymatic digestion were determined. The analytical performance of this method was assessed and validated using porcine insulin-certified reference material. The linear range of the insulin calibration curve ranged from 0.05 ~ 2 mass ratios, with recoveries ranging from 96.15 to approximately 101.15%. The limit of detection was 0.19 ng/mL, and the limit of quantification was 0.63 ng/mL. The quantitative results corresponded well with a certified value that was obtained from measuring a porcine insulin reference material with amino acid-based IDMS. In addition, the target peptide GFFYTPK can be found in other species of insulin. This method was also applied for the quantification of human insulin-certified reference material. Finally, we applied the method to quantify the concentrations of simulated serum insulin. These findings suggested that this signature peptide-based IDMS approach can accurately quantify insulin levels, can assign a certified value to insulin reference materials, and has the potential to quantify serum insulin with traceable measurements.

A differential strategy to enhance the anti-interference ability of molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence sensor with a semi-logarithmic calibration curve. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1280:341875.

Abstract
The non-specific adsorption behaviors of various interferents on the surface of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) are adverse for the selectivity of an MIP-based sensor, which can be overcome via a differential strategy by using the differential signal between MIP- and non-imprinted polymer (NIP)-based sensors. However, the normal differential mode is not suitable for the MIP-based sensors with non-linear calibration curves. Herein, an improved differential strategy is reported for an MIP-based sensor with a semi-logarithmic calibration curve, demonstrated by an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor for dopamine (DA). Glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified by the mixture of g-C3N4, TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). MIP membrane for DA was fabricated on the surface of g-C3N4/TiO2NPs/CNTs/GCE using chitosan for film-forming, obtained MIP@GCE. To enhance the anti-interference ability of the MIP-based DA sensor, the difference between exponential functions ECL intensities of MIP@GCE and NIP@GCE is used as the analytical signal in the improved differential strategy. The differential signal was increased linearly with increasing DA concentration ranging from 10 pM to 0.10 μM, with the detection limit of 5.6 pM. The interference level of Cu2+ on DA determination in the improved differential mode is only 9.7% of that in the normal MIP mode. The improved differential strategy can be used in other MIP-based sensors with semi-logarithmic calibration curves.

Abstract
There are many things that can be used to characterize a protein. Size, isoelectric point, hydrophobicity, structure (primary to quaternary), and subcellular location are just a few parameters that are used. The most important feature of a protein, however, is its function. While there are many experiments that can indicate a protein's role, identifying the molecules it interacts with is probably the most definitive way of determining its function. Owing to technology limitations, protein interactions have historically been identified on a one molecule per experiment basis. The advent of high throughput multiplexed proteomic technologies in the 1990s, however, made identifying hundreds and thousands of proteins interactions within single experiments feasible. These proteomic technologies have dramatically increased the rate at which protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are discovered. While the improvement in mass spectrometry technology was an early driving force in the rapid pace of identifying PPIs, advances in sample preparation and chromatography have recently been propelling the field. In this chapter, we will discuss the importance of identifying PPIs and describe current state-of-the-art technologies that demonstrate what is currently possible in this important area of biological research.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are chemical antibody mimics obtained by nanomoulding the 3D shape and chemical functionalities of a desired target in a synthetic polymer. Consequently, they possess exquisite molecular recognition cavities for binding the target molecule, often with specificity and affinity similar to those of antigen-antibody interactions. Research on MIPs targeting proteins began in the mid-90s, and this review will evaluate the progress made till now, starting from their synthesis in a monolith bulk format through surface imprinting to biocompatible soluble nanogels prepared by solid-phase synthesis. MIPs in the latter format will be discussed more in detail because of their tremendous potential of replacing antibodies in the biomedical domain like in diagnostics and therapeutics, where the workforce of antibodies is concentrated. Emphasis is also put on the development of epitope imprinting, which consists of imprinting a short surface-exposed fragment of a protein, resulting in MIPs capable of selectively recognizing the whole macromolecule, amidst others in complex biological media, on cells or tissues. Thus selecting the 'best' peptide antigen is crucial and in this context a rational approach, inspired from that used to predict peptide immunogens for peptide antibodies, is described for its unambiguous identification.

Abstract
Understanding the protein dynamics of a drug target is important for pharmaceutical research because it provides insight into drug design, target engagement, pharmacodynamics and drug efficacy. Nonradioactive isotope labeling has been the method of choice for protein turnover measurement thanks to the advancement of high-resolution mass spectrometry. While the changes in proteome in cell cultures can be monitored precisely, as the culture media can be completely replaced with 2 H-, 15 N- or 13 C-labeled essential amino acids, quantifying rates of protein synthesis in vivo is more challenging. The amount of isotope tracer that can be administered into the body is relatively small compared with the existing protein, thus requiring more sensitive detection, and the precursor-product labeling relationship is more complicated to interpret. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the principles of in vivo protein turnover studies using deuterium water (2 H2 O) with an emphasis on targeted protein analysis by hybrid LC-MS assay platforms. The pursuit of these opportunities will facilitate drug discovery and research in preclinical and clinical stages.

Abstract
Selective and efficient sample clean-up is important in mass spectrometric protein- and proteomics analyses from biological matrices. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), polymers prepared to have tailor-made cavities for capture of target analytes may by such represent an interesting alternative for selective clean-up. The present review aims to give an overview of the utility of MIPs for protein capture from biological matrices prior to mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. The application of MIPs in depletion of abundant proteins, in protein and proteotypic peptide capture as well as in capture of post-translational modifications (PTMs) is described and discussed. In addition, an overview of available MIP formats and their advantages and challenges is given, together with an overview of the mass spectrometric techniques used in protein analysis after MIP capture. Overall, the present literature demonstrates that for many applications MIPs for sample clean-up in mass spectrometric protein and proteomics analysis from biological matrices is still not fully matured. MIPs for proteotypic peptide capture is the most mature approach and a method for routine use may be available within the next few years.

Abstract
Dengue fever is caused by mosquito-transmitted dengue virus infection and continues to increase worldwide, threatening public health in tropical and subtropical regions. The primary difficulties in preventing a reduction of the medical burden of dengue fever lies in the lack of effective mosquito control, preventive dengue vaccines, and clinically effective antiviral drugs to treat dengue infections. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial for proper patient care and effective control of epidemics. The present work proposes an alternative strategy for detecting the dengue virus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) antigen in clinical serum samples by using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) in combination with the molecularly imprinted polymers. Rather than the whole protein, the NS1 signature peptide is selected as a template for molecular imprinting and quantified as a stoichiometric readout of NS1. Three functional monomers with hydrophobic, positively charged, and negatively charged groups were synthesized by click reactions in terms of the signature peptide. These three functional monomers provide abundant recognition sites for the peptide, allowing the peptide template to be effectively imprinted during polymerization. The imprinting conditions were optimized, and the molecularly imprinted polymers were characterized and used for enriching the signature peptide from digested serum samples by solid-phase extraction and then detected by UHPLC-MS/MS. The proposed method is used to detect the dengue virus NS1 in clinical samples and holds significant promise for early confirmation of dengue virus infection.
