Detection of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine in K562 human hematopoietic cells by high-performance capillary electrophoresis

A method for the detection of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine by high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) was developed. Separations were performed in an uncoated silica capillary (44 cm × 75 μm I.D.) with a P/ACE system with diode-array detector. The separation of purine deoxynucleosides and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine was optimized with regard to pH, temperature, applied potential and hydrodynamic injection time. Optimum conditions were 20 mM borate buffer (pH 9.5), 25°C, 25 kV, 20 s load and detection at 254 nm. This method allowed the detection of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine in the presence of a 10⁵-fold higher amount of deoxyguanosine. Isolated nuclei from K562 human hematopoietic cells were treated with 15 mM hydrogen peroxide for 2 h. The nuclei were extensively dialyzed and DNA was isolated, enzymatically hydrolyzed to the deoxynucleosides and analyzed by HPCE. DNA from hydrogen peroxide treated nuclei had a 4-fold higher content of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine than untreated controls. HPCE analysis of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine is fast and simple. Furthermore, it requires a very small sample volume, which makes it useful for biomedical and clinical applications.     

High-performance capillary electrophoresis of glycoproteins: the use of modifiers of electroosmotic flow for analysis of microheterogeneity.

High-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) is rapidly gaining acceptance as an analytical tool for the study of biological macromolecules. In the present study, the utility of HPCE for separation of glycoproteins is highlighted using a pure ovalbumin preparation. Ovalbumin, the 43-kDa glycoprotein of avian egg white, is known to be heterogeneous in nature with at least nine different carbohydrate structures having been identified on the single Asn residue. HPCE separation in an 87-cm capillary containing borate buffer and 1 mM putrescine resolves five major protein peaks in less than 30 min under nondenaturing conditions. This effect appears to be specific to glycoproteins since analysis of the nonglycosylated protein carbonic anhydrase under the same conditions showed no enhanced separation. The sodium borate buffer is proposed to play a key role in the separation by preferentially complexing with the diols of specific carbohydrate moieties on ovalbumin. Addition of putrescine enhances resolution by slowing bulk flow through the capillary and allowing electrophoretic separation of what is deduced to be closely related glycoforms of ovalbumin. Dephosphorylation of the ovalbumin with either calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase or potato acid phosphatase results in a shift of all peaks to a more rapid migration time and is consistent with a loss of negative charge. This suggests that all major ovalbumin isoforms are phosphorylated to the same degree and that heterology among ovalbumin isoforms resides solely in the carbohydrate structure. The enhanced resolution obtained with the employment of longer capillaries and modifiers of endo-osmotic flow was not restricted to ovalbumin since partial resolution of pepsin isoforms was observed under the same conditions.     

Determination of vitamin A in dried human blood spots by high-performance capillary electrophoresis with laser-excited fluorescence detection

We have developed a high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) method to analyze the retinol (vitamin A) concentration as retinol-retinol binding protein (holo-RBP) from microvolumes of serum (5–10 μl) or one to two drops (∼20 μl) of blood collected and air-dried on blood collection filter paper. A 0.64-cm diameter disk was cut from the dried whole blood specimens and the samples were dissolved in a pretreatment buffer and filtered. Filtrate was injected onto the HPCE column for analysis. The separation was carried out in a 60 cm × 50 μm I.D. fused-silica capillary and the running voltage was 20 kV. A HeCd laser with a wavelength of 325 nm was used for excitation, and the fluorescence of the holo-RBP complex was monitored at 465 nm by a photodiode. A virtual linear relationship was obtained for the retinol concentrations between HPCE and HPLC for 28 serum samples, 19 dried venous blood samples and 9 capillary dried blood spot samples, indicating that valid measures of serum retinol can be obtained from one to two drops of capillary blood collected on filter paper. The absolute detection limit for retinol by HPCE is below 3 μg/l. The method is very useful for vitamin A level screening, especially for children and premature new-born babies.     

Electrochemical profiles of Herba Saussureae Involucratae by capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection

A high-performance capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection method has been developed for the determination of the pharmacologically active ingredients, acacetin, rutin, umbelliferone, kaempferol, apigenin, luteolin and quercetin, in Herba Saussureae Involucratae. Under optimum conditions, the seven analytes could be completely separated within 19 min in a 75 cm length capillary at a separation voltage of 16 kV in a 50 mM borax running buffer (pH 9.2). A 300 microm diameter carbon disk electrode, positioned opposite the outlet of the capillary in a wall-jet configuration at a potential of +950 mV (vs a saturated calomel electrode) was used as the working electrode. A good linear relationship was established between peak current and concentration of the analytes over two orders of magnitude with detection limits (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) ranging from 1.2 x 10(-7) to 4.1 x 10(-8) g/mL for all analytes. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the analyses of bio-active components of Herba Saussureae Involucratae samples after a relatively simple extraction procedure. The assay results show that the resultant electrochemical profiles are indicative of the content diversity of each electrochemically active ingredient in the various samples, and may also offer some evidence for phytotaxonomy.     

Determination of d-saccharic acid-1,4-lactone from brewed kombucha broth by high-performance capillary electrophoresis

Kombucha is a health tonic. d-Saccharic acid-1,4-lactone (DSL), a component of kombucha, inhibits the activity of glucuronidase, an enzyme indirectly related with cancers. To date, there is no efficient method to determine the content of DSL in kombucha samples. In this paper, we report a rapid and simple method for the separation and determination of DSL in kombucha samples, using the high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) method with diode array detection (DAD). With optimized conditions, DSL can be separated in a 50 cm length capillary at a separation voltage of 20 kV in 40 mmol/L borax buffer (pH 6.5) containing 30 mmol/L SDS and 15% methanol (v/v). Quantitative evaluation of DSL was determined by ultraviolet absorption at λ = 190 nm. The relationship between the peak areas and the DSL concentrations, in a specified working range with linear response, was determined by first-order polynomial regression over the range 50–1500 μg/mL with a detection limit of 17.5 μg/mL. Our method demonstrated excellent reproducibility and accuracy with relative standard deviations (RSD) of less than 5% DSL content (n = 5). This is the first report to determine DSL by HPCE. We have successfully applied this method to determine DSL in kombucha samples in various fermented conditions.     

Improved capillary electrophoresis conditions for the separation of kinase substrates by the laser micropipet system

Phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated forms of peptide substrates for protein kinase C (PKC) and calcium-calmodulin activated kinase II (CamKII) were separated by capillary zone electrophoresis. Electrophoresis of the peptide substrates and products in biologic buffer solutions in uncoated capillaries yielded asymmetric analyte peaks with substantial peak tailing. Some of the peptides also exhibited broad peaks with unstable migration times. To improve the electrophoretic separation of the peptides, several strategies were implemented: extensive washing of the capillary with a base, adding betaine to the electrophoretic buffer, and coating the capillaries with polydimethylacrylamide (PDMA). Prolonged rinsing of the capillaries with a base substantially improved the migration time reproducibility and decreased peak tailing. Addition of betaine to the electrophoretic buffer enhanced both the migration time stability as well as the theoretical plate numbers of the peaks. Finally PDMA-coated capillaries brought about significant improvements in the resolving power of the separations. These modifications all utilized an electrophoretic buffer that was compatible with a living biologic cell. Consequently they should be adaptable for the new capillary electrophoresis-based methods to measure kinase activation in single cells.     

Plasma L-Ergothioneine Measurement by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Capillary Electrophoresis after a Pre-Column Derivatization with 5-Iodoacetamidofluorescein (5-IAF) and Fluorescence Detection

Two sensitive and reproducible capillary electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence procedures were established for quantitative determination of L-egothioneine in plasma. After derivatization of L-ergothioneine with 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein, the separation was carried out by HPLC on an ODS-2 C-18 sperisorb column by using a linear gradient elution and by HPCE on an uncoated fused silica capillary, 50 µm id, and 60 cm length. The methods were validated and found to be linear in the range of 0.3 to 10 µmol/l. The limit of quantification was 0.27 µmol/l for HPCE and 0.15 µmol/l for HPLC. The variations for intra- and inter-assay precision were around 6 RSD%, and the mean recovery accuracy close to 100% (96.11%).     

Simultaneous determination of iodate and periodate by capillary zone electrophoresis: application to carbohydrate analysis

Iodate and periodate were rapidly (in 11 min) separated from each other with high column efficiency by capillary zone electrophoresis, using a fused silica tube (50 microns i.d., 80 cm) and 100 mM acetate buffer, pH 4.5, as carrier. On-column uv detection at 222 nm allowed sensitive detection down to the picomole level, and measurement of relative peak area to that of pyromellitic acid (internal standard) enabled reproducible determination of these ions. This method was proved useful for periodate oxidation analysis of various carbohydrates.     

Hydrolysis of the tumor-inhibiting ruthenium(III) complexes HIm trans-[RuCl4(im)2] and HInd trans-[RuCl4(ind)2] investigated by means of HPCE and HPLC-MS

High performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) as well as high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) have been applied to the separation, identification and quantification of the tumor-inhibiting ruthenium compounds HIm trans-[RuCl4(im)2] (im = imidazole) and HInd trans-[RuCl4(ind)2] (ind = indazole) and their hydrolysis products. The half-lives for the hydrolytic decomposition of the Ru(III) compounds were determined by monitoring the relative decrease of the original complex anion under different conditions by means of capillary electrophoresis. The decomposition follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. The rate constants in water at 25 degrees C are 1.102 +/- 0.091 x 10(-5) s-1 for HIm trans-[RuCl4(im)2] and 0.395 +/- 0.014 x 10(-5) s-1 for HInd trans-[RuCl4(ind)2]. About 8% of HIm trans-[RuCl4(im)2] but only about 2% of HInd trans-[RuCl4(ind)2] were hydrolyzed after 1 h at room temperature. Whereas the hydrolysis rate of the imidazole complex is independent of the pH value, the indazole complex hydrolyzes much faster at higher pH. The half-life of HInd trans-[RuCl4(ind)2] in phosphate buffer at pH 6.0 and 37 degrees C is 5.4 h, whereas it is less than 0.5 h at pH 7.4. In contrast to the imidazole complex, where no dependence on the buffer system was observed, hydrolysis of the indazole complex is even faster if a buffer containing hydrogen carbonate is used. The formation of [RuCl2(H2O)2(im)2]+ could be demonstrated by HPLC-MS measurements. In the case of the indazole complex, a release of the indazole ligands results in the formation of [RuCl4(H2O)2]-.
