In this study, we used nanocomposite magnetic particles coated with alumina as the affinity probes to selectively concentrate phosphorylated peptides and proteins from a low volume of sample solution. Tryptic digest products of phosphoproteins including alpha and beta-caseins, human protein phosphatase inhibitor 1, nonfat milk, egg white, and a cell lysate were used as the samples to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach. In only 30 and 90 s, phosphopeptides and phosphoproteins sufficient for characterization by MALDI-MS were enriched by the particles, respectively. Proteins trapped on the particles could be directly digested on the particles. The same particles in the digest solution were employed for enrichment of phosphopeptides. We estimated the required time for performing the enrichment of phosphopeptides from complex samples and characterization by MALDI MS was within 5 min. A small volume (50 microL) and a low concentration (5 x 10(-10) M) of tryptic digest product of a phosphoprotein sample could be dramatically enriched and characterized using this approach. 相似文献

Selective and efficient preconcentration is indispensable for low concentration of phosphopeptides in phosphorylated protein‐related samples prior to MS‐based analysis. Herein, an on‐chip system coupled magnetic SPE with MALDI‐TOF MS was designed. A metal oxide affinity chromatography material, indium oxide, was coated on the surface of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles to prepare the adsorbent, spatially confined with an applied magnetic field. The adsorbent exhibited high selectivity for phosphopeptides in tryptic digests of the mixture of β‐casein and BSA (1:1000) and the mixture of β‐casein, BSA, and ovalbumin (1:100:100). Thanking to the enrichment ability and specificity for phosphopeptides with the adsorbent, the on‐chip magnetic SPE‐MALDI‐TOF MS approach showed high sensitivity with a low detection limit of 4 fmol. In addition, the developed approach was used to analyze phosphopetides in non‐fat milk digests and human serum successfully. 相似文献

Raschzok N Morgul MH Pinkernelle J Vondran FW Billecke N Kammer NN Pless G Adonopoulou MK Leist C Stelter L Teichgraber U Schwartlander R Sauer IM 《Journal of cellular and molecular medicine》2008,12(4):1384-1394
Transplantation of primary human hepatocytes is a promising approach in certain liver diseases. For the visualization of the hepa-tocytes during and following cell application and the ability of a timely response to potential complications, a non-invasive modality for imaging the transplanted cells has to be established. The aim of this study was to label primary human hepatocytes with micron-sized iron oxide particles (MPIOs), enabling the detection of cells by clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Primary human hepatocytes isolated from 13 different donors were used for the labelling experiments. Following the dose-finding studies, hepatocytes were incubated with 30 particles/cell for 4 hrs in an adhesion culture. Particle incorporation was investigated via light, fluorescence and electron microscopy, and labelled cells were fixed and analysed in an agarose suspension by a 3.0 Tesla MR scanner. The hepatocytes were enzymatically resuspended and analysed during a 5-day reculture period for viability, total protein, enzyme leakage (aspartate aminotransferase [AST], lactate dehydrogenase [LDH]) and metabolic activity (urea, albumin). A mean uptake of 18 particles/cell could be observed, and the primary human hepatocytes were clearly detectable by MR instrumentation. The particle load was not affected by resuspension and showed no alternations during the culture period. Compared to control groups, labelling and resuspension had no adverse effects on the viability, enzyme leakage and metabolic activity of the human hepatocytes. The feasibility of preparing MPIO-labelled primary human hepatocytes detectable by clinical MR equipment was shown in vitro. MPIO-labelled cells could serve for basic research and quality control in the clinical setting of human hepatocyte transplantation. 相似文献

Metal and metal oxide chelating-based phosphopeptide enrichment technologies provide powerful tools for the in-depth profiling of phosphoproteomes. One weakness inherent to current enrichment strategies is poor binding of phosphopeptides containing multiple basic residues. The problem is exacerbated when strong cation exchange (SCX) is used for pre-fractionation, as under low pH SCX conditions phosphorylated peptides with multiple basic residues elute with the bulk of the tryptic digest and therefore require more stringent enrichment. Here, we report a systematic evaluation of the characteristics of a novel phosphopeptide enrichment approach based on a combination of low pH SCX and Ti(4+)-immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) comparing it one-to-one with the well established low pH SCX-TiO(2) enrichment method. We also examined the effect of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFP), trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), or 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) in the loading buffer, as it has been hypothesized that high levels of TFA and the perfluorinated solvent HFP improve the enrichment of phosphopeptides containing multiple basic residues. We found that Ti(4+)-IMAC in combination with TFA in the loading buffer, outperformed all other methods tested, enabling the identification of around 5000 unique phosphopeptides containing multiple basic residues from 400 μg of a HeLa cell lysate digest. In comparison, ~ 2000 unique phosphopeptides could be identified by Ti(4+)-IMAC with HFP and close to 3000 by TiO(2). We confirmed, by motif analysis, the basic phosphopeptides enrich the number of putative basophilic kinases substrates. In addition, we performed an experiment using the SCX/Ti(4+)-IMAC methodology alongside the use of collision-induced dissociation (CID), higher energy collision induced dissociation (HCD) and electron transfer dissociation with supplementary activation (ETD) on considerably more complex sample, consisting of a total of 400 μg of triple dimethyl labeled MCF-7 digest. This analysis led to the identification of over 9,000 unique phosphorylation sites. The use of three peptide activation methods confirmed that ETD is best capable of sequencing multiply charged peptides. Collectively, our data show that the combination of SCX and Ti(4+)-IMAC is particularly advantageous for phosphopeptides with multiple basic residues. 相似文献

Fe3O4@ZrO2 microspheres with well-defined core-shell structure were prepared and applied for the highly selective enrichment of phosphopeptides from tryptic digest product of proteins. To successfully coat iron oxide microspheres with uniform zirconia shell, magnetic Fe3O4 microspheres were first synthesized via a solvothermal reaction, followed by being coated with a thin layer of carbon by polymerization and carbonization of glucose through hydrothermal reaction. Finally, with the use of the Fe3O4@C microspheres as templates, zirconium isopropoxide was prehydrolyzed and absorbed onto the microspheres and eventually converted into zirconia by calcinations. The as-prepared Fe3O4@ZrO2 core-shell microspheres were used as affinity probes to selectively concentrate phosphopeptides from tryptic digest of beta-casein, casein, and five protein mixtures to exemplify their selective enrichment ability of phosphopeptides from complex protein samples. In only 0.5 min, phosphopeptides sufficient for characterization by MALDI-MS could be enriched by the Fe3O4@ZrO2 microspheres. The results demonstrate that Fe3O4@ZrO2 microspheres have the excellent selective enrichment capacity for phosphopeptides from complex samples. The performance of the Fe3O4@ZrO2 microspheres was further compared with commercial IMAC beads for the enrichment of peptides originating from tryptic digestion of beta-casein and bovine serum albumin (BSA) with a molar ratio of 1:50, and the results proved a stronger selective ability of Fe3O4@ZrO2 microspheres over IMAC beads. Finally, the Fe3O4@ZrO2 microspheres were successfully utilized for enrichment of phosphopeptides from human blood serum without any other purification procedures. 相似文献

In this report, we present a breast imaging technique combining high‐resolution near‐infrared (NIR) light induced photoacoustic tomography (PAT) with NIR dye‐labeled amino‐terminal fragments of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) targeted magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NIR830‐ATF‐IONP) for breast cancer imaging using an orthotopic mouse mammary tumor model. We show that accumulation of the targeted nanoparticles in the tumor led to photoacoustic contrast enhancement due to the high absorption of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP). NIR fluorescence images were used to validate specific delivery of NIR830‐ATF‐IONP to mouse mammary tumors. We found that systemic delivery of the targeted IONP produced 4‐ and 10‐fold enhancement in photoacoustic signals in the tumor, compared to the tumor of the mice that received non‐targeted IONP or control mice. The use of targeted nanoparticles allowed imaging of tumors located as deep as 3.1 cm beneath the normal tissues. Our study indicates the potential of the combination of photoacoustic tomography and receptor‐targeted NIR830‐ATF‐IONP as a clinical tool that can provide improved specificity and sensitivity for breast cancer detection.

We investigated the potential of antibody-vectorialized superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) particles as cellular specific magnetic resonance contrast agents to image lymphocyte populations within the central nervous system (CNS), with the final goal of obtaining a reliable tool for noninvasively detecting and tracking specific cellular populations in vivo. We used superparamagnetic particles bound to a monoclonal antibody. The particle is the contrast agent, by means of its T?* relaxation properties; the antibody is the targeting vector, responsible for homing the particle to target a surface antigen. To investigate the efficiency of particle vectorialization by these antibodies, we compared two types of antibody-vectorialized CD3-specific particles in vivo. We successfully employed vectorialized SPIO particles to image B220? cells in a murine model of B-cell lymphoma. Likewise, we were able to identify CD3? infiltrates in a murine model of multiple sclerosis. The specificity of the technique was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy of corresponding sections. Our findings suggest that indirect binding of the antibody to a streptavidinated particle allows for enhanced particle vectorialization compared to covalent binding of the antibody to the particle. 相似文献

Polyarginine has been successfully bound onto iron oxide nanoparticles via carbodiimide activation as a highly positively charged magnetic nano-adsorbent for protein separation. They were nearly superparamagnetic with a mean diameter of 10.3 ± 2.36 nm, and the binding process did not change the spinel structure of iron oxide. From the analyses of FTIR spectra and zeta potential, the binding of polyarginine on the surface of iron oxide was confirmed and the resultant polyarginine-coated magnetic nanoparticles (PA-MNPs) were positively charged even up to pH 11. By thermogravimetric analysis, the typical product contained about 7.1 wt% of polyarginine. From the adsorption of the proteins with different pI values, the resultant PA-MNPs were found to be quite efficient for the fast and effective adsorption of acid proteins. For the typical acid protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), the adsorption equilibrium was achieved within few minutes and obeyed the Langmuir isotherm equation. At pH 7 and 25 °C, the maximum adsorption capacity and equilibrium constant were 67.6 mg/g and 0.0623 L/mg, respectively. Moreover, by SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the capability of PA-MNPs for the separation of BSA-lysozyme mixture and egg white was further confirmed. Accordingly, the PA-MNPs were useful for the fast and effective magnetic recovery of acid proteins. 相似文献

A novel method useful for selective isolation of the C-terminal peptide from a tryptic digestion mixture of a protein has been developed by taking advantage of a unique property of anhydrotrypsin, which has a strong specific affinity for the peptides containing arginine or lysine at their C-termini. Briefly, peptides produced by tryptic digestion of a protein are fractionated by affinity chromatography on a column of immobilized anhydrotrypsin. The C-terminal peptide is recovered in a breakthrough fraction, while the remainders are adsorbed on the column (unless the protein ends in arginine or lysine). The breakthrough fraction is then subjected to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography in order to purify the C-terminal peptide. Using this method, we have successfully isolated the C-terminal peptides from tryptic digests of the sheath protein (gp 18) and the tube protein (gp 19) of bacteriophage T4. The analytical results on these peptides, together with the information on the N-terminal structures of the original proteins and on the nucleotide sequences of genes 18 and 19, allowed us to establish the complete primary structures of the two proteins. 相似文献

A new technique for the magnetic isolation of external plasma membrane from Dictyostelium discoideum is described and compared to a previously published procedure employing sedimentation of silica-coated plasma membrane. The magnetic isolation technique involves coating intact cells with a polyvinylamine-magnetite colloid and overcoating with polyacrylate to form a dense pellicle. The magnetite pellicle totally coated the cells and was not internalized. Coated cells were lysed and membrane fragments retrieved from the cell homogenate using a diverging field electromagnet. The membrane obtained in such a manner was analyzed for marker enzyme activity and cell surface label. The plasma membrane was obtained in high yield (42%) with an average purification of 8-fold. The polyvinylamine-magnetite pellicle shielded the external plasma membrane face to proteolysis by papain and pronase. It also acted as a barrier to alpha-methylmannoside in concanavalin A-carbohydrate competition studies. 相似文献

Magnetic particles are increasingly used for various biomedical applications because they are easy to handle and separate from biological samples. In this work, a novel anchor molecule was used for targeted protein display onto magnetic nanoparticles. The magnetic bacterium Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 synthesizes intracellular bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs) covered with a lipid bilayer membrane. In our recent research, an integral BMP membrane protein, Mms13, was isolated and used as an anchor molecule to display functional proteins onto BMPs. The anchoring properties of Mms13 were confirmed by luciferase fusion studies. The C terminus of Mms13 was shown to be expressed on the surface of BMPs, and Mms13 was bound to magnetite directly and tightly permitting stable localization of a large protein, luciferase (61 kDa), on BMPs. Consequently, luminescence intensity obtained from BMPs using Mms13 as an anchor molecule was >400 or 1,000 times higher than Mms16 or MagA, which previously were used as anchor molecules. Furthermore, the immunoglobulin G-binding domain of protein A (ZZ) was displayed uniformly on BMPs using Mms13, and antigen was detected by transmission electron microscopy using antibody-labeled gold nanoparticles on a single BMP displaying the ZZ-antibody complex. The results of this study demonstrated the utility of Mms13 as a molecular anchor, which will facilitate the assembly of other functional proteins onto BMPs in the near feature. 相似文献

Functionalized quantum dots with dopamine dithiocarbamate (QDs-DDTC) were utilized for the first time as an efficient material for the quantification of efavirenz in human plasma of HIV infected patients and rapid identification of microwave tryptic digest proteins (cytochrome c, lysozyme and BSA) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The synthesized QDs-DDTC was characterized by using spectroscopic (UV-visible, FT-IR and (1)H NMR) and microscopic (SEM and TEM) techniques. Functionalized QDs-DDTC exhibited a high desorption/ionization efficiency for the rapid quantification of small molecules (efavirenz, tobramycin and aspartame) at low-mass region. QDs-DDTC has well ability to trap target species, and capable to transfer laser energy for efficient desorption/ionization of analytes with background-free detection. The use of QDs-DDTC as a matrix provided good linearity for the quantification of small molecules (R(2)=~0.9983), with good reproducibility (RSD<10%), in the analysis of efavirenz in the plasma of HIV infected patients by the standard addition method. We also demonstrated that the use of functionalized QDs-DDTC as affinity probes for the rapid identification of microwave tryptic digested proteins (cytochrome c, lysozyme and BSA) by MALDI-TOF-MS. QDs-DDTC-based MALDI-TOF-MS approach provides simplicity, rapidity, accuracy, and precision for the determination of efavirenz in human plasma of HIV infected patients and rapid identification of microwave tryptic digested proteins. This new material presents a marked advance in the development of matrix-free mass spectrometric methods for the rapid and precise quantitative determination of a variety of molecules.

Rapid electrotransfer of proteins from polyacrylamide gel to nitrocellulose membrane using surface-conductive glass as anode 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A new type of inexpensive horizontal apparatus for the electrophoretic transfer of proteins from a gel to an immobilization membrane has been developed. In this system, gel and membrane were directly pressed between two flat electrodes. A surface-conductive glass was used as anode and a stainless-steel plate as cathode. Proteins could be transferred from polyacrylamide gel to nitrocellulose sheet, with a yield of at least 90% in 60-90 min, without overheating, using a voltage gradient of 30-40 V/cm. Moderate volumes of separate anodic (with 20% methanol) and cathodic (with 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate) buffers were suited for optimal transfer of proteins with relative molecular mass (Mr) in the 14,000-94,000 range. 相似文献

A fully automated immunoassay of 17beta-estradiol (E2) was performed using anti-E2 monoclonal antibody immobilized on bacterial magnetic particles (AntiE2-BMPs) and alkaline phosphatase-conjugated E2 (ALP-E2). E2 concentration in environmental water samples was evaluated by decrease in luminescence based on competitive reaction. A linear correlation between the luminescence intensity and E2 concentration was obtained between 0.5 and 5 ppb. The minimum detectable concentration of E2 was 20 ppt. All measurement steps were done within 0.5 h. The analysis of environmental water samples by a commercially available ELISA kit and the BMP-based immunoassay gave good correlation plots with a correlation efficient of 0.992. These results suggest that the fully automated system using the BMP-based immunoassay has some advantages in the high rapidity and sensitivity of the measurement. This system will enable us to determine low E2 concentrations without sample condensation. 相似文献

Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) alone are suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, but the low stability and heterogeneous size distribution in aqueous medium represent major setbacks. These setbacks can however be reduced or diminished through the coating of MNPs with various polymers, especially biopolymers such as polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are biocompatible, non-toxic and renewable; in addition, they possess chemical groups that permit further functionalization of the MNPs. Multifunctional entities can be created through decoration with specific molecules e.g. proteins, peptides, drugs, antibodies, biomimetic ligands, transfection agents, cells, and other ligands. This development opens a whole range of applications for iron oxide nanoparticles. In this review the properties of magnetic structures composed of MNPs and several polysaccharides (Agarose, Alginate, Carrageenan, Chitosan, Dextran, Heparin, Gum Arabic, Pullulan and Starch) will be discussed, in view of their recent and future biomedical and biotechnological applications. 相似文献

We have developed a novel method for isolating specific endocytic vesicles using magnetic ligands and high-gradient magnetic separation. Ligands were prepared by coating extremely fine ferrite particles (10-20 nm) with bovine serum albumin and then conjugating asialoglycopeptides. These ligands were introduced into rat liver by perfusion at 16 or 37 degrees C, or by injection through the tail vein. The ligand particles were observed as electron-dense small grains in membrane-bound vesicles in Kupffer as well as parenchymal cells by electron microscopy. Livers were taken out, homogenized and lightly centrifuged. The supernatant was pumped into a separator glass tube filled with very fine ferritic stainless steel fibers and placed in a magnetic field of 0.9-2 T. Vesicles containing ferrite particles were collected with a high efficiency (ca. 70% of endocytosed magnetic ligands). About 70% of uptake appeared to be mediated by the asialoglycoprotein receptors. The captured vesicles were practically free from marker enzymes for plasma membranes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. Lysosomal enzyme activity of the vesicles increased with the time of perfusion at 37 degrees C but not at 16 degrees C. Protein composition of the captured vesicles was analyzed by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The composition changed characteristically with time on perfusion at 16 and 37 degrees C. The present method provides a powerful tool to collect prelysosomal endocytic vesicles containing specific ligands and lysosomes fused with these specific endocytic vesicles. 相似文献

An accurate definition of clinical target volume (CTV) is essential for the application of radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treatment. A novel epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeting contrast agent (C225-USPIO) was designed by conjugating ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles with cetuximab (C225), to non-invasively define the CTV of tumor. The immunobinding activity of C225-USPIO to NPC cell line CNE1 was confirmed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. The time-dependent accumulation of C225-USPIO in CNE1 cells was evaluated using Prussian blue staining. Targeted internalization and subcellular localization of C225-USPIO was confirmed by transmission electron microscope. The results indicated that C225-USPIO specifically bound to EGFR on the surface of CNE1 cells and was taken up into the cell. The uptake of C225-USPIO by CNE1 cells increased significantly with time, when compared with human IgG-USPIO. In addition, 4.7 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed that C225-USPIO had a capacity to accumulate in the CNE1 cells, with a resultant marked decrease in MRI T2-weighted signal intensity over time. These findings imply that C225-USPIO has the potential as an MRI contrast agent and can be employed to non-invasively detect early-stage NPC with EGFR overexpression. This provides sufficient theoretical basis for commencing in vivo experiments with the compound. 相似文献
