Ivanov AV, Popov MA, Aleksandrin V, Pudova PA, Galdobina MP, Metelkin AA, Kruglova MP, Maslennikov RA, Silina EV, Stupin VA, Kubatiev AA. Simultaneous determination of cystine and other free aminothiols in blood plasma using capillary electrophoresis with pH-mediated stacking. Electrophoresis 2024; 45:411-419. [PMID: 38084469 DOI: 10.1002/elps.202300196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
We developed a method of sensitive capillary electrophoresis using UV detection for the determination of certain free aminothiols (reduced cysteinylglycine (rCysGly), cysteine (rCys), glutathione (rGln), and cystine (CysS) in human blood plasma. The reduced thiols were derivatized with N-ethylmaleimide. The plasma was purified from proteins via ultrafiltration. Electrophoretic separation was performed using 115 mM Na phosphate with 7.5% (v/v) polyethylene glycol 600, pH 2.3. The in-capillary concentration of the analytes was achieved with a pH gradient created via the preinjection of triethanolamine and postinjection of phosphoric acid. The separation was carried out using a silica capillary (50 µm i.d.; total/effective separation length 42/35 cm) at a 25 kV voltage. The total analysis/regeneration time was 18 min. The quantification limits varied from 1.3 µM (rCysGly) to 5.4 µM (CysS). The accuracy was 95%-99%, and the repeatability and reproducibility were approximately 1.8%-3.8% and 1.9%-5.0%, respectively. An analysis of plasma samples from healthy volunteers (N = 41) showed that the mean levels of rCysGly, rCys, rGln, and CysS were 1.64, 10.6, 2.58, and 46.2 µM, respectively.

Abstract
Whole blood and/or plasma amino acids are useful for monitoring whole-body protein and amino acid metabolism in an organism under various physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Various methodological procedures are in use for their measurement in biological fluids. From the time when capillary electrophoresis was introduced as a technology offering rapid separation of various ionic and/or ionizable compounds with low sample and solvent consumption, there were many attempts to use it for the measurement of amino acids present in physiological fluids. As a rule, these methods require derivatization procedures for detection purposes.Here, we present two protocols for the analysis of free amino acids employing free zone capillary electrophoresis. Main advantage of both methods is an absence of any derivatization procedures that permits the analysis of free amino acid in physiological fluids. The method using direct detection and carrier electrolyte consisting of disodium monophosphate (10 mM at pH 2.90) permits determination of compounds that absorb in UV region (aromatic and sulfur containing amino acids, as well as some peptides such as carnosine, reduced, and oxidized glutathione). The other method use indirect absorbance detection, employing 8 mM p-amino salicylic acid buffered with sodium carbonate at pH 10.2 as running electrolyte. It permits quantification of 30 underivatized physiological amino acids and peptides. In our experience factorial design represents a useful tool for final optimization of the electrophoretic conditions if it is necessary.

Abstract
Arginine supplementation has been shown to alleviate endothelial dysfunction and improve exercise performance through increasing nitric oxide production in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases. In addition, arginine supplementation could decrease accumulations of lactate and ammonia, metabolites involved in development of muscular fatigue. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of short-term arginine supplementation on performance in intermittent anaerobic exercise and the underlying mechanism in well-trained male athletes. Ten elite male college judo athletes participated with a randomized crossover, placebo-controlled design. The subjects consumed 6 g/day arginine (ARG trial) or placebo (CON trial) for 3 days then performed an intermittent anaerobic exercise test on a cycle ergometer. Blood samples were collected before supplementation, before and during exercise and 0, 3, 6, 10, 30 and 60 min after exercise. ARG trial had significantly higher arginine concentrations than CON trial at the same time point before, during and after exercise. In both trials, nitrate and nitrite concentration was significantly higher during and 6 min after exercise comparing to the basal concentration. The increase in nitrate and nitrite concentration during exercise in both trials was parallel to the increase in plasma citrulline concentrations. There was no significant difference between the 2 trials in plasma nitrate and nitrite, lactate and ammonia concentrations and peak and average power in the exercise. The results of this study suggested that short-term arginine supplementation had no effect on nitric oxide production, lactate and ammonia metabolism and performance in intermittent anaerobic exercise in well-trained male athletes.

Abstract
A new sensitive assay for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities in biofluids was developed, based on the separation and detection of alanine, glutamate, and aspartate using capillary electrophoresis (CE) with electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection. The three amino acids were separated in 5 mM phosphate of pH 2.1 as background electrolyte, and detected on a 500 microm platinum disk electrode at 1.2V (versus Ag/AgCl) in the presence of 10 mM tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) dissolved in 80 mM phosphate of pH 10.5. A mass detection limit of 37.3 fmol (or 81.5 fmol) for glutamate, corresponding to the product in the enzyme reaction catalyzed by 1.24 x 10(-9)U AST (or 2.72 x 10(-9)U ALT) in a 30 min reaction period, was achieved. This assay was applied to investigate the cytotoxicity effect of ethanol on HepG2 cells and differentiating nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) from alcoholic liver disease, indicating that the technique is promising for the application in the cell biological and clinical fields.

Abstract
Phanquinone (chemically: 4,7-phenanthroline-5,6-dione) was applied as an original precolumn derivatization reagent for amino acids followed by separation using MEKC with UV detection (240 nm). The derivatization reaction was carried out at 68 degrees C in the presence of aqueous phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) and it was found to be complete after 30 min. Twelve derivatized standard amino acids were separated in about 22 min under MEKC conditions using sodium cholate (250 mM) as the surfactant in phosphate buffer (20 mM, pH 9.0). The developed method was validated for the analysis of D,L-phosphoserine (D,L-p-Ser) and L-glutamine (L-Gln); good linearity (r > 0.999) was achieved in the calibration range of 0.25-2.5 micromol/mL. The sensitivity of the MEKC method (LOD 0.1 micromol/mL; LOQ 0.25 micromol/mL, RSD% <5.0%, n = 3) was found to be adequate for quantitation of amino acids in pharmaceuticals. Quantitative applications of the validated MEKC method were carried out by the analysis of commercially available oral polyaminoacid formulations (tablets and extemporaneous solutions) containing L-Gln and D,L-p-Ser; the obtained results were found to be in agreement with those from a validated reference RP-HPLC method.

Abstract
Amino acids analysis in single wheat embryonic protoplast was performed using capillary electrophoresis equipped with laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF), combination with tissue culture technique. Reagent fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was introduced into living protoplasts by electroporation for intracellular derivatization. A special osmotic buffer (0.6 mol/L mannitol, 5 mmol/L CaCl2) was used to keep the osmotic balance of embryonic protoplasts during the protoplasts derivatization. After completion of the derivatization reaction in the protoplasts, a single protoplast was drawn into the capillary tip by electroosmotic flow. Then a 0.1 M NaOH lysing solution was injected by diffusion. The derivatized amino acids were separated by capillary electrophoresis and detected by laser-induced fluorescence detection after the protoplast was lysed Nine amino acids were quantitatively and qualitatively determined and compared in lysate and single protoplast of wheat embryonic cells respectively, with mean concentrations of amino acids ranging from 2.68 x 10(-5) mol/L to 18.18 x 10(-5) mol/L in single protoplast.

Abstract
Animal glues were often used in historic and artistic objects, e.g. as paint ground, as binders for pigments, or as adhesives. The sources were egg, casein, or different collagens. For restoration and conservation purposes it is important to know which kind of animal glue a museum object contains. Capillary electrophoresis can deliver such information, because it enables differentiation among the three proteinaceous glue classes according to their different amino acid patterns after hydrolysis. This work deals with the most relevant problem in practice, whether this identification is obstructed by the presence of other binders, with which they are mixed in many real samples; in particular, interference from plant gums and drying oils was investigated. Capillary electrophoresis of the hydrolysates (after reaction with 6 mol L(-1) HCl) was performed with an acidic background electrolyte consisting of chloroacetic acid (51.9 mmol L(-1)) adjusted with LiOH to pH 2.26. The underivatised analytes were detected with a contactless conductivity detector. It was found that the constituents of the plant gums (monosaccharides) or drying oils (long-chain fatty acids and short-chain dicarboxylic acids) never interfered with identification of the animal glues, as shown for artificial mixtures of the different binders even at tenfold excess over the animal glue, and for egg tempera samples. The method was used to identify the filling material from a statue from the eighteenth century.

Abstract
Free amino acids have been derivatized on-capillary with 3-(2-furoyl)quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde (FQ) and analyzed using a laboratory-made capillary electrophoresis apparatus with laser-induced fluorescence detection. Several parameters that control on-capillary derivatization of amino acids, including pH, mixing time, reaction time, concentration of the derivatization reagents (potassium cyanide and FQ) and solvent of FQ, as well as the temperature of mixing and reaction were optimized. Repeatabilities better than 1.8% for migration time and 7.8% for peak height were obtained. Assay detection limits for the different amino acids ranged from 23 nM for glycine to 50 nM for lysine and glutamic acid. The methods developed were applied to the analysis of several amino acids in pharmaceutical preparations and plasma samples. Results showed a good agreement with those obtained using an amino acid autoanalyzer for the same samples.

Abstract
The determination of peptides and proteins in a biological matrix normally includes a sample-preparation step to obtain a sample that can be injected into a separation system in such a way that peptides and proteins of interest can be determined qualitatively and/or quantitatively. This can be a rather challenging, labourious and/or time-consuming process. The extract obtained after sample preparation is further separated using a compatible separation system. Liquid chromatography (LC) is the generally applied technique for this purpose, but capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is an alternative, providing fast, versatile and efficient separations. In this review, the recent developments in the combination of sample-preparation procedures with LC and CZE, for the determination of peptides and proteins, will be discussed. Emphasis will be on purification from and determination in complex biological matrices (plasma, cell lysates, etc.) of these compounds and little attention will be paid to the proteomics area. Additional focus will be put on sample-preparation conditions, which can be 'hard' or 'soft', and on selectivity issues. Selectivity issues will be addressed in combination with the used separation technique and a comparison between LC and CZE will be made.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoretic method for identifying different species of proteinaceous binders--collagen, egg white, and milk casein--is described. It allows characterisation of the proteins on the basis of the amino acid profiles obtained after their acidic hydrolysis. The profiles of the underivatised amino acids are recorded directly by capillary zone electrophoresis at pH 2.26 with the aid of a conductivity detector, thus eliminating the need for a derivatisation step. Identification is carried out by means of different relative peak areas of the amino acids. A scheme is given for identification, which is based on the main markers, hydroxyproline, proline, glycine, glutamic acid, and serine and valine.

Abstract
The growth of a gamma-glutamyl aminopeptidase (GGT)-deficient Neisseria meningitidis strain was much slower than that of the parent strain in rat cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and in a synthetic CSF-mimicking medium, and the growth failure was suppressed by the addition of cysteine. These results suggested that, in the environment of cysteine shortage, meningococcal GGT provided an advantage for meningococcal multiplication by supplying cysteine from environmental gamma-glutamyl-cysteinyl peptides.

Abstract
Ketosteril is an enteral medicinal product indicated for prevention and therapy in chronic renal insufficiency in connection with a low protein diet. Tablets of Ketosteril contain five essential amino acids like: Lys, His, Thr, Trp, Tyr and another five amino acids in the form of their hydroxy and keto analogues as calcium salts, that are: alpha-ketoleucine, alpha-ketoisoleucine, alpha-ketovaline, alpha-ketophenylalanine and alpha-hydroxymethionine. The composition of Ketosteril tablets is routinely tested with three LC methods. Capillary electrophoretic method seems to be a good alternative for amino acids and their analogues determination in multicomponent pharmaceuticals because of short analysis time and the possibility to assay all components during a single run without any pretreatment. Electrophoresis was performed in 50 microm I.D. fused-silica capillaries with 65 cm distance to the detector. Capillaries were installed in Waters Quanta 4000 electrophoretic equipment with a positive power supply and on-line UV detection at 214 nm. Separations were done in a buffer containing 40 mM Tris and 160 mM boric acid titrated with NaOH to pH 10. The method developed allows the separation of all investigated analytes with an efficiency of n = 230,000 and 20 min analysis time. The method was applied for determination of all components of Ketosteril in commercial tablets.
