Abstract
One of the most valuable practices for analyzing not-so-analytical-friendly analytes in complex, heterogenous matrices is derivatization. Availability of numerous derivatizing reagents (DRs) makes the modification of analyte more exploitable in terms of an analytical perspective. A wide array of derivatization techniques like pre or post-column, in-situ, enzymatic, ultrasound-assisted, microwave-assisted, photochemical derivatization has added much-needed methodological strength in analyzing intricate analytical matrices (food, water, and soil). In recent years, analytical chemistry has achieved greater heights through the development of new sensitive methods with simple conventional instruments like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) devoid of Mass detectors. The prompt availability of these straightforward instruments also makes it a favorable option for routine analysis in food, environmental, bioanalytical chemistry. Analyzing food, environmental or bioanalytical specimen has some of the most problematic aspects, like the low concentration of the analytes accompanied by not too suitable analytical properties. Even though conventional HPLC lacks the required sensitivity but merger with derivatization can lead to a remarkable increase in sensitivity. In recent years there has been a lot of application of diverse derivatizations to increase the sensitivity and selectivity of the analyte for available instruments, resulting in notable findings. Therefore, this review describes the application of derivatization principles in the analysis of analytes in food and additional matrices using conventional HPLC instruments such as HPLC-UV, HPLC-DAD, and HPLC-FD. In this article, we will briefly review the different modes and multiple types of derivatizing reagents with their mechanisms and importance for encouraging the use of established HPLC instruments.

Abstract
Through the course of our bio-analytical chemistry studies, we developed a novel proteomics analysis method, FD-LC-MS/MS (fluorogenic derivatization-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry). This method consists of fluorogenic derivatization (FD), LC separation, and detection/quantification of the derivatized proteins, followed by isolation, tryptic digestion of the isolated proteins, and final identification of the isolated proteins using electrospray ionization nano-LC-MS/MS of the generated peptide mixtures with a probability-based protein identification algorithm. In this review, we will present various examples where this method has been used successfully to identify expressed proteins in individual human cells. FD-LC-MS/MS is also suitable for differential proteomics analysis. Here, two biological samples are treated by the same steps mentioned above, and the two chromatograms obtained are compared to identify peaks with different intensities (variation in protein levels). Associated peak fractions are then isolated, and the differentially expressed proteins between the two samples are identified by LC-MS/MS. Several biomarkers for cancers have been identified by FD-LC-MS/MS. For more efficient separation, nano-flow LC with a phenyl-bonded monolithic silica-based capillary column was adopted for cell-expressed intact protein analysis. The derivatized human cell proteins (K562) and yeast cell (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) proteins as model intact cell proteins were analyzed by nano-flow LC with fluorescence detection. More than 1,300 protein peaks were separated/detected from both cells. For straightforward comparison of multiple peak separation profiles, a novel type of chromatogram display, termed the “spiderweb” chromatogram, was developed. A nano-LC-FD-LC-mass spectrometry trial for molecular weight estimation of FD proteins has also been conducted.

Abstract
Aristolochic acid (AA) causes interstitial renal fibrosis, called aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN). There is no specific indicator for diagnosing AAN, so this study aimed to investigate the biomarkers for AAN using a proteomics method. The C3H/He female mice were given ad libitum AA-distilled water (0.5 mg/kg/day) and distilled water for 56 days in the AA and normal groups, respectively. The AA-induced proteins in the kidney were investigated using a proteomics study, including fluorogenic derivatization with 7-chloro-N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole-4-sulfonamide, followed by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry with a MASCOT database searching system. There were two altered proteins, thrombospondin type 1 (TSP1) and G protein-coupled receptor 87 (GPR87), in the kidney of AA-group mice on day 56. GPR87, a tumorigenesis-related protein, is reported for the first time in the current study. The renal interstitial fibrosis was certainly induced in the AA-group mice under histological examination. Based on the results of histological examination and the proteomics study, this model might be applied to AAN studies in the future. TSP1 might be a novel biomarker for AAN, and the further role of GPR87 leading to AA-induced tumorigenesis should be researched in future studies.

A proteomics method using immunoaffinity fluorogenic derivatization-liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (FD-LC-MS/MS) to identify a set of interacting proteins. Biomed Chromatogr 2017; 32. [PMID: 28801948 DOI: 10.1002/bmc.4063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2017] [Revised: 08/01/2017] [Accepted: 08/07/2017] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Biological functions in organisms are usually controlled by a set of interacting proteins, and identifying the proteins that interact is useful for understanding the mechanism of the functions. Immunoprecipitation is a method that utilizes the affinity of an antibody to isolate and identify the proteins that have interacted in a biological sample. In this study, the FD-LC-MS/MS method, which involves fluorogenic derivatization followed by separation and quantification by HPLC and finally identification of proteins by HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry, was used to identify proteins in immunoprecipitated samples, using heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) as a model of an interacting protein in HepaRG cells. As a result, HSC70 protein, which was known to form a complex with HSP90, was isolated, together with three different types of HSP90-beta. The results demonstrated that the proposed immunoaffinity-FD-LC-MS/MS method could be useful for simultaneously detecting and identifying the proteins that interact with a certain protein.

Abstract
To reveal real dynamics of proteins in cells, we have developed a novel type of straightforward proteomic analysis named FD-LC-MS/MS. This technique consists of fluorogenic derivatization (FD) of intact proteins, followed by high performance liquid chromatographic (LC) separation, detection and quantification of the derivatized proteins, isolation of the subject proteins, enzymatic digestion of the isolated proteins, and identification of the proteins using HPLC and MS/MS with a database-searching algorithm. The method is uncomplicated, sensitive, reproducible, and easily quantifies and identifies intact proteins in tissues and cells. Additionally, in contrast to other proteomic approaches, our method does not require any pretreatment steps, such as precipitation and clean-up, except for the derivatization, resulting in high reproducibility and the same or higher detectability than that of other methods. In this article, after a brief review of other types of proteomic analyses, we introduce the development and application of the FD-LC-MS/MS method. We also discuss the features and perspectives of this method.

Abstract
To find new molecular markers for early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy, we applied fluorogenic derivatization-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to identify the differentially expressed proteins in the kidney of control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with the sodium citrate buffer or streptozotocin and then killed after 1, 4, 12 and 24 weeks. The results showed that seven proteins were significantly changed after 1 week of injection. Only one protein had significantly changed after 4 weeks of injection. However, after 12 weeks of injection, the number of altered proteins rose to 10. After 24 weeks of injection, 18 proteins had altered significantly. Five common proteins were significantly altered at week 12 and 24 after injection, respectively. Importantly, these proteins appeared prior to microalbuminuria and may serve as new biomarkers that are able to improve early detection of and new drug development for diabetic-related nephropathy.

Abstract
In this post-genome era, a sensitive quantitative method is required for differential profiling analyses of clinical proteomes to understand the disease progress. Here, we adopt the FD-LC-MS/MS method, consisting of fluorogenic derivatization (FD), separation by liquid chromatography (LC), and identification by LC-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), to reveal disease-related proteins in livers of hepatocarcinogenesis in transgenic (Tg) and non-transgenic (NTg) mice at three developmental stages. After 6 months, the expression of apoptosis-related proteins is suppressed. After 12 months, proteins related to respiration, the electron-transfer system, and anti-oxidation are significantly up-regulated. After 16 months, proteins related to defense, beta-oxidation, and apoptosis are significantly suppressed. This fluctuating expression of proteins could explain the progression of hepatocarcinogenesis. The method would be useful for clinical proteomics analysis because of its high resolution, sensitivity, and reproducibility.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and simple method using HPLC-fluorescence detection with 7-chloro-N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole-4-sulfonamide (DAABD-Cl) as a fluorogenic reagent demonstrated the existence of the low-molecular-weight thiols in the extract of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The method includes derivatization of the thiols with DAABD-Cl at 40 degrees C for 10 min in borate buffer (pH 9.0) containing TCEP, CHAPS and EDTA, separation of the derivatives on an ODS column and fluorometric determination of the derivatives at 510 +/- 15 nm with excitation at 400 +/- 15 nm. The identification of the thiols was made by HPLC-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-MS) following isolation of the derivatives using HPLC-fluorescence detection. Low-molecular-weight thiols were found to exist in the extract of C. elegans, such as cysteine, cysteinylglycine, gamma-glutamylcysteine, reduced glutathione and two other unidentified thiol compounds, confirming the existence of the 'glutathione cycle' in C. elegans similar to the mammalian body.

Abstract
To find the pairs of fluorogenic reagents having similar retention times in HPLC but with different fluorescent characteristics, six fluorogenic reagents bearing benzoxadiazole or benzoselenadiazole skeletons were synthesized. The resultant derivatives obtained from the reaction of peptides and proteins with reagents which have a benzoselenadiazole skeleton showed different fluorescence characteristics from those with a benzoxadiazole skeleton. Since each corresponding derivatives of trypsin inhibitor and BSA with DAABD-Cl and 7-fluoro-N-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]-2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole-4-sulfonamide (DEAEABSeD-F) have similar retention times, the pair of reagents was adopted for the sensitive simultaneous detection of proteins in two different samples. When the soluble fraction of mouse hippocampus was divided into the two samples (A and B), each was reacted with DEAEABSeD-F for A and DAABD-Cl for B, respectively. The two reaction solutions were combined and subjected to HPLC analysis with two fluorescent detectors in series (excitation and emission at different wavelengths for A and B, respectively). The resultant two chromatograms had quite similar patterns for each other. The new pair of fluorogenic reagents (DAABD-Cl and DEAEABSeD-F) would be applicable to proteomics studies using the previously reported FD-LC-MS/MS method.

Abstract
This study demonstrates that 1,5-I-AEDANS (5-({2-[(iodoacetyl)amino]ethyl}amino)naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid) can be used as a versatile fluorescence-based peptide quantification tool and provides readily interpretable tandem mass spectra for de novo peptide sequencing. Two AEDANS-cysteinyl-peptide fractionation strategies were evaluated. One AEDANS-cysteinyl-peptide fractionation strategy employs immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) to recover AEDANS-labeled peptides and reduce the complexity of peptide mixtures. In an alternate solid-phase approach, 1,5-I-AEDANS was coupled to an o-nitrobenzyl-based photocleavable resin to produce a resin that can label and isolate thiols and cysteine-containing peptides with a modified-AEDANS label (mAEDANS: 5-((4-amino-4-oxobutanoyl){2-[(iodoacetyl)amino]ethyl}amino)naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid). This fractionation protocol enriches cysteine-containing peptides more specifically than the IMAC strategy. Using micro-LC-ESI-MS with an on-line fluorescence detector and a Q-TOF mass spectrometer, we generated fluorescence-based elution profiles and corresponding positive ion mass spectra of AEDANS-labeled peptides. This study demonstrates that AEDANS-peptides produce positive ion ESI-MS mass spectra with detection limits comparable to those of the unlabeled peptide. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of fluorescent AEDANS-peptides revealed readily interpretable product ion spectra with the label intact. Similar to the AEDANS-labeled peptide, an mAEDANS-labeled thiol is fluorescent and CID of a mAEDANS-labeled peptide also reveals an interpretable product ion spectrum with the label intact.

Abstract
The fluorogenic derivatization reagents with a positive charge, 4-(dimethylaminoethylaminosulfonyl)-7-chloro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DAABD-Cl) and 7-chloro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole-4-sulfonylaminoethyltrimethylammonium chloride (TAABD-Cl), are proposed for use in proteomics studies. Following derivatization of protein mixtures with these reagents, a series of standard processes of isolation, digestion, and identification of the proteins were performed utilizing high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection and tandem mass spectrometry with the probability-based protein identification algorithm. Both DAABD and TAABD derivatives were detected fluorometrically at the femtomole level and showed more than 100-fold improvement in sensitivity compared to the underivatized original compounds with an electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometer analysis. The modification of the MASCOT database search system memorized with the fragment information of a DAABD-attached Cys residue allowed the identification of the proteolytic peptide fragments of the derivatized bovine serum albumin (BSA) with an estimated 38% sequence coverage of BSA. Utilizing DAABD-Cl as a derivatization reagent, identification of several proteins was also possible in a soluble extract of Caenorhabditis elegans (10 microg of protein). Consequently, for identification of proteins in the complex matrixes of proteins, DAABD-Cl could be a more appropriate reagent than ammonium 7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole-4-sulfonate as reported previously.

Abstract
In order to understand the mechanism for maintaining life of animals based on the search of dynamics of biomolecules, I have developed several sensitive and selective methods for their quantification. Using the methods of derivatization with the developed benzofurazan fluorogenic reagents (4-fluoro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-F), ammonium 7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole 4-sulfonate (SBD-F) and etc.) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)--fluorescence detection, a certain kind of biological and clinical importance was demonstrated of chiral bio-molecules (D-amino acids, D-lactic acid and so on), peptides and proteins. The proposed method (derivatization with SBD-F, isolation of the fluorescent proteins by two-dimensional HPLC, enzymatic digestion and identification of the altered proteins by HPLC-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS with database-searching algorithm) for proteomics studies revealed the changed proteins in the islets of Langerhans of the dexamethazone-induced diabetic rats. An importance of catecholamine metabolism on the blood pressure regulation was also suggested by the method of HPLC-chemiluminescence detection of catecholamines and their 3-O-methylmetabolites. A new field of Analytical Chemistry, i.e., Bio-Analytical Chemistry, was also proposed.
