A metabonomics technique based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with Q-TOF mass spectrometry was
employed to investigate the sera from 32 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) without renal replacement therapy and 30
healthy volunteers in order to find potential disease biomarkers and reveal its pathophysiological changes. After data acquisition
Waters MarkerLynx software was used to report retention time and m/z pairs for each metabolite peak, these data were exported
to an excel table, then handled by using multivariate analysis and the statistical analysis in the SIMCA-P and the SPSS softwares
to obtain potential biomarkers which were further identified by MS/MS. Seven potential biomarkers, creatinine, tryptophan,
phenylalanine, kynurenine and three lysophosphatidylcholines, were identified. The results suggest that CRF can lead to the
increase of reservation of creatinine in the body, and the abnormal metabolism of the two essential amino acids and lysophosphatidylcholines.
It has indicated that metabonomics will be a powerful tool in the clinic research. 相似文献

Folates act as essential coenzymes in many biological pathways. Alteration in folate form distribution might have biological significance, especially in relation to certain genetic polymorphisms. We developed a stable-isotope dilution ultra performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) method for quantification of the folate forms 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-methylTHF), 5-formylTHF, 5,10-methenylTHF, THF, and folic acid in serum. After extraction using an ion exchange and mixed mode solid-phase, samples were separated and detected using an UPLC–MS/MS system. The quantification limits were between 0.17 nmol/L (5-formylTHF) and 1.79 nmol/L (THF), and the assay was linear up to 100 nmol/L (5-methylTHF) and 10 nmol/L (5-formylTHF, 5,10-methenylTHF, THF, and folic acid). The intraassay CVs for 5-methylTHF and 5-formylTHF were 2.0% and 7.2%, respectively. Mean recoveries were between 82.3% for THF and 110.8% for 5,10-methenylTHF. Concentrations of total folate measured by the new method showed a strong correlation with those measured by an immunologic assay (r = 0.939; p < 0.001). The mean total folate from 32 apparently healthy subjects was 18.09 nmol/L, of which 87.23% was 5-methylTHF. Concentrations of homocysteine showed a better correlation to the total folate measured by the new method compared to that obtained by an immunologic assay. We also confirmed that MTHFR polymorphism has a significant effect on folate distribution in this small population of non-supplemented subjects. 相似文献

We report the use of microbore reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography connected on-line to an electrospray mass spectrometer for the separation/detection of peptides derived by proteolytic digestion of proteins separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A small fraction (typically 10% of the total) of the peptides eluting from the column was diverted through a flow-splitting device into the ion source of the mass spectrometer, whereas the majority of the peptide samples was collected for further analyses. We demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining reproducible peptide maps from submicrogram amounts of protein applied to the gel and good correlation of the signal detected by the mass spectrometer with peptide detection by UV absorbance. Furthermore, independently verifiable peptide masses were determined from subpicomole amounts of peptides directed into the mass spectrometer. The method was used to analyze the 265-kDa and the 280-kDa isoforms of the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase isolated from rat liver. The results provide compelling evidence that the two enzyme isoforms are translation products of different genes and suggest that these approaches may be of general utility in the definitive comparison of protein isoforms. We furthermore illustrate that knowledge of peptide masses as determined by this technique provides a major advantage for error-free data interpretation in chemical high-sensitivity peptide sequence analysis. 相似文献

Analysis of intracellular metabolites in bacteria is of utmost importance for systems biology and at the same time analytically challenging due to the large difference in concentrations, multiple negative charges, and high polarity of these compounds. To challenge this, a method based on dispersive solid phase extraction with charcoal and subsequent analysis with ion-pair liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry was established for quantification of intracellular pools of the 28 most important nucleotides. The method can handle extracts where cells leak during the quenching. Using a Phenyl-Hexyl column and tributylamine as volatile ion-pair reagent, sufficient retention and separation was achieved for mono-, di-, and triphosphorylated nucleotides. Stable isotope labeled nucleotides were used as internal standards for some analytes. The method was validated by determination of the recovery, matrix effects, accuracy, linearity, and limit of detection based on spiking of medium blank as well as standard addition to quenched Lactococcus lactis samples. For standard addition experiments, the isotope-labeled standards needed to be added in similar or higher concentrations as the analytes. L. lactis samples had an energy charge of 0.97 ± 0.001 which was consistent with literature, whereas some differences were observed compared with legacy data based on 33P labeling. 相似文献

We have developed an online analytical method that combines A431 cell membrane chromatography (A431/CMC) with high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC/MS) for identifying active components from Radix Caulophylli acting on human EGFR. Retention fractions on A431/CMC model were captured onto an enrichment column and the components were directly analyzed by combining a 10-port column switcher with an LC/MS system for separation and preliminary identification. Using Sorafenib tosylate as a positive control, taspine and caulophine from Radix Caulophylli were identified as the active molecules which could act on the EGFR. This A431/CMC-online-LC/MS method can be applied for screening active components acting on EGFR from traditional Chinese medicines exemplified by Radix Caulophylli and will be of great utility in drug discovery using natural medicinal herbs as a source of novel compounds. 相似文献

We describe an ultra high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC MS/MS) method suitable for a routine laboratory to determine endogenous and exogenous glucocorticoids in plasma, plasma ultrafiltrate, urine and saliva in a single analytical run. After addition of a multi-analyte internal standard, a standardised sample preparation procedure with solid phase extraction followed, before injecting into a tandem mass spectrometer with positive mode electron spray ionisation and multiple reactant monitoring acquisition. The chromatography time was 3 min. The limit of quantitation for cortisol and cortisone in plasma was 3.75 nmol/L and linearity extended to 2000 nmol/L. The limit of quantitation for cortisol in plasma ultrafiltrate and saliva was 0.6 nmol/L. The limit of quantitation for 11-deoxycortisol and prednisolone was 5 nmol/L and for dexamethasone 1 nmol/L. The intra-assay CV was <5% and the inter-assay CV <10% for all analytes in all matrices. Comparison with an immuno-assay (IA) plasma cortisol method resulted in a regression equation of UHPLC = 0.79 × IA + 31.12 with R2 = 0.960 (p < 0.0001). Comparison with a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) cortisol method yielded a regression equation of UHPLC = 1.06 × HPLC + 9.82, R2 = 0.992 (p < 0.0001). The simultaneous measurement of endogenous and exogenous glucocorticoids contributed to patient care in cases with dexamethasone and metyrapone dynamic tests and unsuspected therapeutic glucocorticoid use. 相似文献

The bovine filarial worm Setaria cervi was found to have abundance of glutathione synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.2.3) activity, the enzyme being involved in catalysing the final step of glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis. A RP-HPLC method involving precolumn derivatization with o-phthalaldehyde has been followed for the estimation of GS activity in crude filarial preparations. Subcellular fractionation of the enzyme was undertaken and it was confirmed to be a soluble protein residing mainly in cytosolic fraction. Attempts to determine the Km value for L-gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteine gave a distinctly nonlinear double-reciprocal plot in which data obtained at relatively high dipeptide concentrations (>1 mM) extrapolate to a Km value of about 400 microM whereas data obtained at lower concentrations (<0.1 mM) extrapolate to a value of about 33 microM. Km was determined to be around 950 and 410 microM for ATP and glycine, respectively. The effect of various amino acids was studied on enzyme activity at 1mM concentration. L-cystine caused a significant enzyme inhibition of 11%. Preincubation with N-ethylmaleimide also resulted in significant inhibition of GS activity. 相似文献
