Bržezická T, Glatz Z, Kohútová L. Sensitivity enhancement of capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis-based method for characterization of drug-protein interactions using on-line sample preconcentration. J Sep Sci 2023; 46:e2300152. [PMID: 37386816 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202300152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023]
Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis is one of the most frequently used approaches for the study of plasma protein-drug interactions as a substantial part of new drug development. However, the capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis typically combined with ultraviolet-visible detection suffers from insufficient concentration sensitivity, particularly for substances with limited solubility and low molar absorption coefficient. The sensitivity problem has been solved in this work by its combination with an on-line sample preconcentration. According to the knowledge of the authors this combination has never been used to characterize plasma protein-drug binding. It resulted in a fully automated and versatile methodology for the characterization of binding interactions. Further, the validated method minimalizes the experimental errors due to a reduction in the manipulation of samples. Moreover, employing an on-line preconcentration strategy with capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis using human serum albumin-salicylic acid as a model system improves the drug concentration sensitivity 17-fold compared to the conventional method. The value of binding constant (1.51 ± 0.63) · 104 L/mol obtained by this new capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis modification is in agreement with the value (1.13 ± 0.28) ·104 L/mol estimated by a conventional variant of capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis without the preconcentration step, as well as with literature data obtained using different techniques.

Abstract
While the role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in peripheral circulation is well characterized, we still lack an in-depth understanding of its role within the brain. This knowledge gap is sustained by lacking technologies for trace-level angiotensin detection throughout tissues, such as the brain. To provide a bridging solution, we enhanced capillary electrophoresis (CE) nanoflow electrospray ionization (ESI) with large-volume sample stacking and employed trapped ion mobility time-of-flight (timsTOF) tandem HRMS detection. A dynamic pH junction helped stack approximately 10 times more of the sample than optimal using the field-amplified reference. In conjunction, the efficiency of ion generation was maximized by a cone-jet nanospray on a low sheath-flow tapered-tip nano-electrospray emitter. The platform provided additional peptide-dependent information, the collision cross section, to filter chemical noise and improve sequence identification and detection limits. The lower limit of detection reached sub-picomolar or ∼30 zmol (∼18,000 copies) level. All nine targeted angiotensin peptides in mouse tissue samples were detectable and quantifiable from the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus even after removal of circulatory blood components (perfusion). We anticipate CE-ESI with timsTOF HRMS to be broadly applicable for the ultrasensitive detection of brain peptidomes in pursuit of a better understanding of the brain.

Abstract
A three-step stacking capillary electrophoresis (CE) composed of field-amplified sample injection, sweeping, and analyte focusing by micellar collapse (FASI-sweeping-AFMC) was developed to determine dabigatran (D) and its major active metabolite, dabigatran acyl-beta-d-glucuronide (DAG), in human plasma. After optimization and validation, this novel approach was further applied to monitor 5 real samples, and the 25.2-186.8 ng mL-1 D could be observed among those. Based on these results, the novel CE stacking strategy was successfully applied for the analysis of D and DAG in human plasma and could be served as a tool for clinical assays.

Abstract
In this work, we developed an ultra-sensitive CE-MS/MS method for bottom-up proteomics analysis of limited samples, down to sub-nanogram levels of total protein. Analysis of 880 and 88 pg of the HeLa protein digest standard by CE-MS/MS yielded ∼1100 ± 46 and ∼160 ± 59 proteins, respectively, demonstrating higher protein and peptide identifications than the current state-of-the-art CE-MS/MS-based proteomic analyses with similar amounts of sample. To demonstrate potential applications of our ultra-sensitive CE-MS/MS method for the analysis of limited biological samples, we digested 500 and 1000 HeLa cells using a miniaturized in-solution digestion workflow. From 1-, 5-, and 10-cell equivalents injected from the resulted digests, we identified 744 ± 127, 1139 ± 24, and 1271 ± 6 proteins and 3353 ± 719, 5709 ± 513, and 8527 ± 114 peptide groups, respectively. Furthermore, we performed a comparative assessment of CE-MS/MS and two reversed-phased nano-liquid chromatography (RP-nLC-MS/MS) methods (monolithic and packed columns) for the analysis of a ∼10 ng HeLa protein digest standard. Our results demonstrate complementarity in the protein- and especially peptide-level identifications of the evaluated CE-MS- and RP-nLC-MS-based methods. The techniques were further assessed to detect post-translational modifications and highlight the strengths of the CE-MS/MS approach in identifying potentially important and biologically relevant modified peptides. With a migration window of ∼60 min, CE-MS/MS identified ∼2000 ± 53 proteins on average from a single injection of ∼8.8 ng of the HeLa protein digest standard. Additionally, an average of 232 ± 10 phosphopeptides and 377 ± 14 N-terminal acetylated peptides were identified in CE-MS/MS analyses at this sample amount, corresponding to 2- and 1.5-fold more identifications for each respective modification found by nLC-MS/MS methods.

Abstract
Peptides play a crucial role in many vitally important functions of living organisms. The goal of peptidomics is the identification of the "peptidome," the whole peptide content of a cell, organ, tissue, body fluid, or organism. In peptidomic or proteomic studies, capillary electrophoresis (CE) is an alternative technique for liquid chromatography. It is a highly efficient and fast separation method requiring extremely low amounts of sample. In peptidomic approaches, CE is commonly combined with mass spectrometric (MS) detection. Most often, CE is coupled with electrospray ionization MS and less frequently with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization MS. CE-MS has been employed in numerous studies dealing with determination of peptide biomarkers in different body fluids for various diseases, or in food peptidomic research for the analysis and identification of peptides with special biological activities. In addition to the above topics, sample preparation techniques commonly applied in peptidomics before CE separation and possibilities for peptide identification and quantification by CE-MS or CE-MS/MS methods are discussed in this chapter.

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
Recently, we developed a new approach for the selective enrichment of low-abundance compounds in biological samples by capillary electrophoresis. As a model test, the low-abundance compound lysozyme was successfully fractionated from a mixture containing high-abundance compound BSA (1:4500) using a custom-made apparatus. The feasibility of this approach for real complex biological samples was verified by rat serum, wherein three low-abundance proteins with high charge/mass ratios were detected.

Abstract
The analysis of protein antigens as biomarkers in clinical samples is particularly helpful for the early diagnosis of diseases. However, this is difficult to accomplish owing to the presence of the antigens in trace amounts as well as the complexity of the matrixes in clinical samples. In this study, a lab-on-membrane platform that can be combined with paper spray ionization mass spectrometry was developed for the in situ high-throughput sensitive detection of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The sensitivity of the proposed platform was enhanced via two strategies: (1) the synthesis of a biotin-streptavidin scaffold caused an increase in the capturing efficiency of PSA by a factor of 5 and (2) the immobilization of a large number of mass tag molecules on the gold nanoparticles allowed for the amplification of the mass spectrometry signals. The limit of detection was approximately 3.0 pg mL-1. The selectivity to PSA was guaranteed by using an antibody-aptamer pairing sandwich immunoassay, and PSA detection was unaffected even when other protein antigens (carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 125) were present. The modified membranes maintained their performance for at least 30 days when stored at 4 °C. Finally, analysis of human serum samples confirmed that the PSA concentration as determined using the proposed platform was consistent with that determined with a conventional chemiluminescent immunoassay. Thus, this PSA analyzing platform is suitable for prostate cancer diagnosis in clinical settings.

Abstract
We present high resolution fast, cost-effective and sensitive Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) methods for determination of enantiomeric compounds of Kynurenine pathway, i.e. D, L-Kynurenine (KYN), in human serum and urine samples by cationic-β-CD and its synergistic dual chiral selector system (SD-CSs) with α-CD in 50 mM borax borate buffer (pH 9.0) as BGE. Acid-mediated stacking enrichment by HCl delivered 15 nM limit of detection (LOD) and 50 nM limit of quantification (LOQ). The methods gave advantages of linearity in the concentration range of 50 nM-1000 nM, reproducibility (RSD ≤ 3.35), selectivity against interfering amino acids, and remarkable recoveries. SD-CSs delivered resolution of D, L-KYN twice that of individual chiral selectors (CSs) under similar conditions. The binding constants (Kb) and electrophoretic mobilities (µeff) of D, L-KYN with different concentrations of CSs were calculated to find the migration order of enantiomers. The chiral recognition mechanism was investigated by molecular docking and molecular mechanics, which revealed strong hydrogen bonding between Kynurenine enantiomers and the SD-CSs as compared to individual CS as the key player in binding, formation of stable complexes which led to the ultimate separation.

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. Mass Spec Rev 00:1-16, 2019.

Abstract
One of the major shortcomings in top-down proteomics is the lack of efficient separations for intact proteins that can be effectively coupled to mass spectrometry. Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and nanoflow reversed-phase liquid chromatography (nanoRPLC) are two methods that can be coupled to mass spectrometry directly and have been recently advanced in terms of their ability to separate intact proteins in complex biological mixtures. In this work, for the first time, we compared the state-of-the-art nanoRPLC-MS/MS and CZE-MS/MS platforms for top-down characterization of a standard protein mixture and an Escherichia coli (E. coli) proteome sample. CZE-MS produced comparable signals of standard proteins to RPLC-MS with 10-times less sample consumption. Interestingly, the proteins in RPLC-MS tended to have higher charge states than in CZE-MS, most likely due to the high acetonitrile concentration in RPLC mobile phase, leading to the more extensive unfolding of proteins in RPLC compared to in CZE. CZE-MS/MS identified 159 proteins and 513 proteoforms using 1-μg E. coli proteins in a single run and outperformed RPLC-MS/MS using 1-μg E. coli proteins in terms of protein and proteoform identifications (159 vs. 105 proteins and 513 vs. 277 proteoforms). The RPLC-MS/MS using 8-μg E. coli proteins identified 245 proteins and 1004 proteoforms in a single run, and the data was much better than that from CZE-MS/MS (1-μg E. coli proteins) regarding the number of identifications because of the 8-times higher sample loading amount and significantly wider separation window of RPLC-MS/MS compared to CZE-MS/MS.

Abstract
One of the most cited limitations of capillary and microchip electrophoresis is the poor sensitivity. This review continues to update this series of biannual reviews, first published in Electrophoresis in 2007, on developments in the field of online/in-line concentration methods in capillaries and microchips, covering the period July 2016-June 2018. It includes developments in the field of stacking, covering all methods from field-amplified sample stacking and large-volume sample stacking, through to isotachophoresis, dynamic pH junction, and sweeping. Attention is also given to online or in-line extraction methods that have been used for electrophoresis.

Abstract
The review is focused on the latest developments in the analysis of proteins and peptides by capillary electrophoresis techniques coupled to mass spectrometry. First, the methodology and instrumentation are overviewed. In this section, recent progress in capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry interfaces and capillary electrophoresis with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization is mentioned, as well as separation tasks. The second part is devoted to applications-mainly bottom-up and top-down proteomics. It is obvious that capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry methods are well suited for peptide and protein analysis (proteomic research) and it is described how these techniques are complementary and not competitive with the often used liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry methods.

Abstract
Electrophoretic sample stacking comprises a group of capillary electrophoretic techniques where trace analytes from the sample are concentrated into a short zone (stack). This paper is a continuation of our previous reviews on the topic and brings a survey of more than 120 papers published approximately since the second quarter of 2016 till the first quarter of 2018. It is organized according to the particular stacking principles and includes chapters on concentration adjustment (Kohlrausch) stacking, on stacking techniques based on pH changes, on stacking in electrokinetic chromatography and on other stacking techniques. Where available, explicit information is given about the procedure, electrolyte(s) used, detector employed and sensitivity reached. Not reviewed are papers on transient isotachophoresis which are covered by another review in this issue.

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.
