Background
It has been hypothesized that human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) confer systemic health benefits to breastfed infants; however, plausible mechanisms for some effects, such as systemic immunomodulation, require HMOs to access the bloodstream of the developing infant. While small concentrations of HMOs have been detected in the urine of breastfed infants there are no published studies of these oligosaccharides accessing the plasma compartment of breastfed infants. Here we determined the relative fractions of several ingested HMOs in infant urine and plasma. Plasma from formula-fed infants was used as a control.Methods
Using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), we analyzed the urine and plasma from 17 healthy formula-fed infants and 16 healthy breast-fed infants (and the milk from their mothers).Results
Multiple HMOs were detected in the urine and plasma of breastfed infants, but not in formula-fed infants. Levels of 2′-fucosyllactose (2′FL), 3FL and lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) in both plasma (r = 0.98, p<0.001; r = 0.75, p = 0.002; r = 0.71, p = 0.004) and urine (r = 0.81, p<0.001; r = 0.56, p = 0.026; NS) correlated significantly with concentrations in the corresponding breast milk. The relative fractions of HMOs were low, 0.1% of milk levels for plasma and 4% of milk levels for urine. Within the breastfed cohort, there were significant differences between secretor and nonsecretor groups in levels of several fucosylated HMOs.Conclusion
At least some ingested HMOs are absorbed intact into the circulation and excreted in the urine and their concentrations in these fluids correlate with levels of the corresponding mother''s milk. While relative fractions of absorbed HMOs were low, these levels have been shown to have biological effects in vitro, and could explain some of the postulated benefits of human milk. 相似文献2.
High-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) were applied to the analysis of the site-specific carbohydrate heterogeneity in erythropoietin (EPO) used as a model of the sialylated glycoprotein. N-linked oligosaccharides were released from recombinant human EPO expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells enzymatically and reduced with NaBH(4). Many different sialylated oligosaccharides of EPO were separated and characterized by LC/MS equipped with a graphitized carbon column (GCC). Glycosylation sites and the preliminary glycosylation pattern at each glycosylation site were determined by LC/MS of endoproteinase Glu-C-digested EPO. The detailed site-specific carbohydrate heterogeneity caused by the differences in the molecular weight, branch, linkage, and sequence was elucidated by GCC-LC/MS of the N-linked oligosaccharides released from the isolated glycopeptides. Structural details of the isomers were analyzed by LC/MS/MS, and it was indicated that di- and trisialylated tetraantennary oligosaccharides are attached to Asn24, 38, and 83, whereas their isomers, di- and trisialylated triantennary oligosaccharides containing N-acetyllactosamines, are combined with Asn24. Our method is useful for the determination of glycosylation sites, the site-specific carbohydrate heterogeneity of glycoproteins, and the carbohydrate structure. 相似文献

Complex lactose-derived oligosaccharides belong to the main components of human milk and are believed to exert multiple functions in the breast-fed infant. Therefore, we investigated the transepithelial transport of human milk oligosaccharides over Caco-2 monolayers. Main human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in the apical, basolateral, or intracellular compartment were separated by high performance liquid chromatography using a Hypercarb(TM) column and analyzed on line by mass spectrometry. This method allowed the identification and quantification of these components in intra- and extracellular fractions without prior purification. Using this technique we were able to show that acidic and neutral HMOs cross the epithelial barrier. The transepithelial flux of neutral, but not acidic, oligosaccharides was temperature-sensitive and partly inhibited by brefeldin A and bafilomycin A. Furthermore, net flux from the apical to the basolateral compartment was only observed for the neutral components. Similarly, apical cellular uptake was only found for neutral components but not for acidic oligosaccharides. Intracellular concentrations of neutral HMOs were significantly increased by inhibitors of transcytosis such as brefeldin A, N-ethylmaleimide, or bafilomycin A. The cellular uptake was saturable, and an apparent K(m) for lacto-N-fucopentaose I of 1.7 +/- 0.1 mmol/liter and for lacto-N-tetraose of 1.8 +/- 0.4 mmol/liter was determined. Furthermore, the uptake of lacto-N-fucopentaose I could be inhibited by the addition of the stereoisomer lacto-N-fucopentaose II but not by lacto-N-tetraose. These findings suggest that neutral HMOs are transported across the intestinal epithelium by receptor-mediated transcytosis as well as via paracellular pathways, whereas translocation of acidic HMOs solely represents paracellular flux. 相似文献

We have studied rapid and simple sugar mapping using liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/MS) equipped with a graphitized carbon column. The oligosaccharide mixture was separated on the basis of the sequence, branching structure, and linkage, and each oligosaccharide was characterized based on its molecular mass. In this study we demonstrated the usefulness of capillary LC/MS (CapLC/MS) and capillary liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (CapLC/MS/MS) as sensitive means for accomplishing the structural analysis of oligosaccharides in a low-abundance glycoprotein. The carbohydrate heterogeneity and molecular mass information of each oligosaccharide can be readily obtained from CapLC/MS of a small amount of glycoprotein. CapLC/MS/MS provided b-ion series, which is informative with regard to monosaccharide sequence. Exoglycosidase digestion followed by CapLC/MS elucidated a carbohydrate residue linkage. Using this method, we characterized N-linked oligosaccharides in hepatocyte growth factor produced in mouse myeloma NS0 cells as the complex-type bi-, tri-, and tetraantennary terminated with N-glycolylneuraminic acids and alpha-linked galactose residues. Sugar mapping with CapLC/MS and CapLC/MS/MS is useful for monitoring glycosylation patterns and for structural analysis of carbohydrates in a low-abundance glycoprotein and thus will become a powerful tool in biological, pharmaceutical, and clinical studies. 相似文献

Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is applied to the analysis of complex mixtures of oligosaccharides obtained through the controlled, heparinase-catalyzed depolymerization of heparin. Reversed-phase ion-pairing chromatography, utilizing a volatile mobile phase, results in the high resolution separation of highly sulfated, heparin-derived oligosaccharides. Simultaneous detection by UV absorbance and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) provides important structural information on the oligosaccharide components of this mixture. Highly sensitive and easily interpretable spectra were obtained through post-column addition of tributylamine in acetonitrile. High resolution mass spectrometry afforded elemental composition of many known and previously unknown heparin-derived oligosaccharides. UV in combination with MS detection led to the identification of oligosaccharides arising from the original non-reducing end (NRE) of the heparin chain. The structural identification of these oligosaccharides provided sequence from a reading frame that begins at the non-reducing terminus of the heparin chain. Interestingly, 16 NRE oligosaccharides are observed, having both an even and an odd number of saccharide residues, most of which are not predicted based on biosynthesis or known pathways of heparin catabolism. Quantification of these NRE oligosaccharides afforded a number-averaged molecular weight consistent with that expected for the pharmaceutical heparin used in this analysis. Molecular ions could be assigned for oligosaccharides as large as a tetradecasaccharide, having a mass of 4625 Da and a net charge of -32. Furthermore, MS detection was demonstrated for oligosaccharides with up to 30 saccharide units having a mass of >10000 Da and a net charge of -60. 相似文献

High-performance liquid chromatography with on-line electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-LC/MS) was investigated for the analysis of carbohydrate heterogeneity using RNase B as a model glycoprotein. Oligosaccharides released from RNase B with endoglycosidase H were reduced and separated on a graphitized carbon column (GCC). GCC-HPLC/MS in the positive-ion mode was successful in the identification of one Man5GlcNAc, three Man6GlcNAc, three Man7GlcNAc, three Man8GlcNAc, one Man9GlcNAc, and an oligosaccharide having six hexose units (Hex) and two N-acetylhexosamine units (HexNAc). The branch structures of the three Man7GlcNAc isomers were determined by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). LC/MS/MS analysis was shown to be useful for the detection and identification of a trace amount of Hex6HexNAc2 alditol as a hybrid-type oligosaccharide. Its structure was confirmed by the combination of LC/MS with enzymatic digestion using beta-galactosidase and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase. The relative quantities of high-mannose-type oligosaccharides in RNase B detected by ESI-LC/MS are in reasonable agreement with those by UV, high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection, fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis. Our results indicate that LC/MS and LC/MS/MS can be utilized to elucidate the distribution of oligosaccharides and their structures, which differ in molecular weight, sugar sequence, and branch structure. 相似文献

The development of a multidimensional approach involving high-performance liquid chromatography (LC), ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and tandem mass spectrometry is described for the analysis of complex peptide mixtures. In this approach, peptides are separated based on differences in their LC retention times and mobilities (as ions drift through He) prior to being introduced into a quadrupole/octopole/time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The initial LC separation and IMS dispersion of ions is used to label ions for subsequent fragmentation studies that are carried out for mixtures of ions. The approach is demonstrated by examining a mixture of peptides generated from tryptic digestion of 18 commercially available proteins. Current limitations of this initial study and potential advantages of the experimental approach are discussed. 相似文献

Although the properties of milk oligosaccharides have been of scientific interest for many years, their structural diversity presents a challenging analytical task. In the quest for a simple and robust technology to characterize the different oligosaccharides present in milk, we developed an analytical scheme based on their fluorescent labeling, pre-fractionation by weak anionic exchange chromatography and separation by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC)-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). HILIC relies on the hydrophilic potential of the molecule, which accounts for differences in properties such as molecular volume, lipophilic surface area, charge, composition, structure, linkage and oligosaccharide branching. The robustness of the methodology has been demonstrated using bovine colostrum oligosaccharides as a case study. Structural assignments for 37 free glycans, including 20 sialylated species, were obtained by a combination of HILIC-HPLC, exoglycosidase digestion and offline negative-ion mode mass spectrometry (MS)/MS. Parameters obtained for each glycan, including linkages, enzymatic digestion products and glucose unit values, will be added to GlycoBase, a public access database (http://glycobase.nibrt.ie/glycobase.html). This approach provides a basis for the analysis of free milk oligosaccharides in a fast and sensitive manner and could be adapted for an automated technology platform amenable to diverse environments. Indeed, our approach, in conjunction with bacterial-binding assays, can provide a better understanding of the structural elements required for biological activity of free milk oligosaccharides and could serve as a scientific basis for the selection of such bioactives from various food sources. 相似文献

A novel system for characterizing complex N-linked oligosaccharide mixtures that uses a combination of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), capillary electrophoresis (CE), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been developed. In this study, oligosaccharides released from recombinant TNK-tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) were derivatized with 5-amino-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANSA). The negative charge imparted by the ANSA label facilitated the analysis of the oligosaccharides by MALDI-TOF MS by allowing the observation of both neutral and sialylated oligosaccharides in a single negative ion mode spectrum. Labeling with ANSA was also determined to be advantageous in the characterization of oligosaccharides by both HPLC and CE. The ANSA label was demonstrated to provide superior resolution over the commonly used label 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (APTS) in both the CE and HPLC analysis of oligosaccharides. To date, no other labels that enable the analysis of complex oligosaccharide mixtures in a single mass spectral mode, while also enabling high-resolution chromatographic and electrophoretic separation of the oligosaccharides, have been reported. By integrating the structural information obtained by MALDI-TOF MS analysis with the ability of CE and HPLC to discriminate between structural isomers, the complete characterization of complex oligosaccharide mixtures is possible. 相似文献

AbstractTriacylglycerols (TAGs) are one of the major components of the cells in higher biological systems, which can act as an energy reservoir in the living cells. The unsaturated fatty acid moiety is the key site of oxidation and formation of oxidation compounds. The TAG free radical generates several primary oxidation compounds. These include hydroperoxides, hydroxides, epidioxides, hydroperoxy epidioxides, hydroxyl epidioxides, and epoxides. The presence of these oxidized TAGs in the cell increases the chances of several detrimental processes. For this purpose, several liquid chromatography (LC) methods were reported in their analyses. This review is therefore focused on the chemistry, oxidation, extraction, and the LC methods reported in the analyses of oxidized TAGs. The studies on thin-layer chromatography were mostly focused on the total oxidized TAGs separation and employ hexane as major solvent. High-performance LC (HPLC) methods were discussed in details along with their merits and demerits. It was found that most of the HPLC methods employed isocratic elution with methanol and acetonitrile as major solvents with an ultraviolet detector. The coupling of HPLC with mass spectrometry (MS) highly increases the efficiency of analysis as well as enables reliable structural elucidation. The use of MS was found to be helpful in studying the oxidation chemistry of TAGs and needs to be extended to the complex biological systems. 相似文献

Mass spectrometry (MS) of glycoproteins is an emerging field in proteomics, poised to meet the technical demand for elucidation of the structural complexity and functions of the oligosaccharide components of molecules. Considering the divergence of the mass spectrometric methods employed for oligosaccharide analysis in recent publications, it is necessary to establish technical standards and demonstrate capabilities. In the present study of the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) Human Disease Glycomics/Proteome Initiative (HGPI), the same samples of transferrin and immunoglobulin-G were analyzed for N-linked oligosaccharides and their relative abundances in 20 laboratories, and the chromatographic and mass spectrometric analysis results were evaluated. In general, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight MS of permethylated oligosaccharide mixtures carried out in six laboratories yielded good quantitation, and the results can be correlated to those of chromatography of reductive amination derivatives. For underivatized oligosaccharide alditols, graphitized carbon-liquid chromatography (LC)/electrospray ionization (ESI) MS detecting deprotonated molecules in the negative ion mode provided acceptable quantitation. The variance of the results among these three methods was small. Detailed analyses of tryptic glycopeptides employing either nano LC/ESI MS/MS or MALDI MS demonstrated excellent capability to determine site-specific or subclass-specific glycan profiles in these samples. Taking into account the variety of MS technologies and options for distinct protocols used in this study, the results of this multi-institutional study indicate that MS-based analysis appears as the efficient method for identification and quantitation of oligosaccharides in glycomic studies and endorse the power of MS for glycopeptide characterization with high sensitivity in proteomic programs. 相似文献

Milk oligosaccharides derivatized by reductive amination with benzylamine followed by N,N-dimethylation (DMBA-oligosaccharides), were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization ion-trap mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-ITMS). Separation of DMBA-oligosaccharides was achieved on a graphitized carbon column eluted with aqueous acetonitrile and the DMBA-oligosaccharides were detected by positive-ion mode ESI-ITMS allowing sample amounts down to approximately 30fmol of single DMBA-oligosaccharides injected on the HPLC column. MS/MS operation of the mass spectrometer resulted in the detection of diagnostic fragments, mainly belonging to the Y-series, allowing differentiation between isomeric milk oligosaccharides. HPLC/ESI-ITMS/MS/MS experiments indicated the migration of fucose residues of the DMBA milk oligosaccharides to the modified reducing end glucose residue during analysis, a migration previously only observed for proton adduct ions. 相似文献

Chemical derivatization and mass spectral libraries in metabolic profiling by GC/MS and LC/MS/MS 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

An overview is presented of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), the two major hyphenated techniques employed in metabolic profiling that complement direct 'fingerprinting' methods such as atmospheric pressure ionization (API) quadrupole time-of-flight MS, API Fourier transform MS, and NMR. In GC/MS, the analytes are normally derivatized prior to analysis in order to reduce their polarity and facilitate chromatographic separation. The electron ionization mass spectra obtained are reproducible and suitable for library matching, mass spectral collections being readily available. In LC/MS, derivatization and library matching are at an early stage of development and mini-reviews are provided. Chemical derivatization can dramatically increase the sensitivity and specificity of LC/MS methods for less polar compounds and provides additional structural information. The potential of derivatization for metabolic profiling in LC/MS is demonstrated by the enhanced analysis of plant extracts, including the potential to measure volatile acids such as formic acid, difficult to achieve by GC/MS. The important role of mass spectral library creation and usage in these techniques is discussed and illustrated by examples. 相似文献

A novel and relatively simple analytical method for the separation, characterisation and semi-quantitation of phospholipids (PLs) from extracts of complex biological samples has been developed. This methodology allows PL extracts from cells and tissues to be analysed by liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Complex mixtures of PLs were separated on a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system using 0.5% ammonium hydroxide in methanol/water/hexane/formate mixture with UV detection at 205 nm. Identification and structural characterisation of molecular species were carried out utilising ESI-MS and MS/MS in the negative ion mode.The abnormal accumulation of PLs (phospholipidosis) was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by administration of the cationic amphiphilic drug (CAD), amiodarone. Analysis of the PL profile of liver and lung tissues, lymphocytes and serum from treated rats was carried out using this analytical procedure (LC-ESI/MS/MS). Differences in PL profiles between treated and untreated animals were highlighted by principal component analysis (PCA). This led to the selection of a potential metabolic marker of phospholipidosis (PLD) identified as a lyso-bis-phosphatidic acid (LBPA) derivative, also known as bis(monoglycero)phosphate (BMP). This PL was absent in control animals but was present in quantifiable amounts in all samples from amiodarone-treated rats. 相似文献

Progress is reviewed towards the development of a global strategy that aims to extend the sensitivity, dynamic range, comprehensiveness and throughput of proteomic measurements based upon the use of high performance separations and mass spectrometry. The approach uses high accuracy mass measurements from Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR) to validate peptide 'accurate mass tags' (AMTs) produced by global protein enzymatic digestions for a specific organism, tissue or cell type from 'potential mass tags' tentatively identified using conventional tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). This provides the basis for subsequent measurements without the need for MS/ MS. High resolution capillary liquid chromatography separations combined with high sensitivity, and high resolution accurate FTICR measurements are shown to be capable of characterizing peptide mixtures of more than 10(5) components. The strategy has been initially demonstrated using the microorganisms Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Deinococcus radiodurans. Advantages of the approach include the high confidence of protein identification, its broad proteome coverage, high sensitivity, and the capability for stableisotope labeling methods for precise relative protein abundance measurements.Abbreviations: LC, liquid chromatography; FTICR, Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance; AMT, accurate mass tag; PMT, potential mass tag; MMA, mass measurement accuracy; MS, mass spectrometry; MS/MS, tandem mass spectrometry; ppm, parts per million. 相似文献

We analyzed the structure of the N-linked oligosaccharides enzymatically liberated from the organic matrix (OM) component
in the nacreous layer of Japanese pearl oyster: Pinctada fucata. The lectin-blot analysis of the soluble OM after separation by SDS-PAGE, four components, with sizes of approximately 55 kDa,
35 kDa, 25 kDa, and 21 kDa were detected with GNA lectin, which recognized terminal mannose of high mannose and hybrid types
of N-glycan. The 55-kDa component of the soluble OM detected by lectin blotting was identified as nacrein by using liquid
chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). LC/MS analysis of the N-glycan liberated from nacrein detected a hybrid-type N-glycan,
which contained sulfite and sialic acid at its terminus. The data strongly imply that nacrein, a sulfated OM glycoprotein,
participates in molluscan biomineralization by creating a favorable environment for calcium ion uptake through sulfonic acid
and sialic acid. 相似文献

Oligosaccharides are the third largest component in human milk. This abundance is remarkable because oligosaccharides are not digestible by the newborn, and yet they have been conserved and amplified during evolution. In addition to encouraging the growth of a protective microbiota dominated by bifidobacteria, oligosaccharides have anti-infective activity, preventing pathogens from binding to intestinal cells. Although it would be advantageous adding these valuable molecules to infant milk formula, the technologies to reproduce the variety and complexity of human milk oligosaccharides by enzymatic/organic synthesis are not yet mature. Consequently, there is an enormous interest in alternative sources of these valuable oligosaccharides. Recent research has demonstrated that bovine milk and whey permeate also contain oligosaccharides. Thus, a thorough characterization of oligosaccharides in bovine dairy streams is an important step towards fully assessing their specific functionalities. In this study, bovine milk oligosaccharides (BMOs) were concentrated by membrane filtration from a readily available dairy stream called “mother liquor”, and analyzed by high accuracy MALDI FT-ICR mass spectrometry. The combination of HPLC and accurate mass spectrometry allowed the identification of ideal processing conditions leading to the production of Kg amount of BMO enriched powders. Among the BMOs identified, 18 have high-molecular weight and corresponded in size to the most abundant oligosaccharides present in human milk. Notably 6 oligosaccharides contained fucose, a sugar monomer that is highly abundant in human milk, but is rarely observed in bovine milk. This work shows that dairy streams represent a potential source of complex milk oligosaccharides for commercial development of unique dairy ingredients in functional foods that reproduce the benefits of human milk. 相似文献

Oligosaccharides were analyzed by a combination of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS). First, oligosaccharides labeled with 2-aminopyridine were studied to see if they could be analyzed by MS under the conditions used for separation by HPLC. Pyridylamino (PA)-oligosaccharides could be analyzed under these conditions, although the mass spectra were affected. Then, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze a PA-oligosaccharide mixture derived from human immunoglobulin G. The PA-oligosaccharides were separated on a reversed-phase column and mass-analyzed directly. The observed molecular weights were close to or identical to those expected from the structures, which were estimated from the elution position on HPLC. This method is rapid and simple, as the mass spectrometer can give the accurate molecular weight of each PA-oligosaccharide in one chromatography run, even if the HPLC separation is incomplete. This method can be used to extend the so-called two-dimensional mapping of PA-oligosaccharides. The structure can be studied in greater detail by tandem MS. 相似文献

A technique that combines ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) with reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC), collision-induced dissociation (CID) and mass spectrometry (MS) has been developed. The approach is described as a high throughput means of analysing complex mixtures of peptides that arise from enzymatic digestion of protein mixtures. In this approach, peptides are separated by LC and, as they elute from the column, they are introduced into the gas phase and ionised by electrospray ionisation. The beam of ions is accumulated in an ion trap and then the concentrated ion packet is injected into a drift tube where the ions are separated again in the gas phase by IMS, a technique that differentiates ions based on their mobilities through a buffer gas. As ions exit the drift tube, they can be subjected to collisional activation to produce fragments prior to being introduced into a mass spectrometer for detection. The IMS separation can be carried out in only a few milliseconds and offers a number of advantages compared with LC-MS alone. An example of a single 21-minute LC-IMS-(CID)-MS analysis of the human plasma proteome reveals approximately 20,000 parent ions and approximately 600,000 fragment ions and evidence for 227 unique protein assignments. 相似文献
