| Abstract: | Recent literature indicates that specific glycosaminoglycanstructures are involved in various biological processes, suchas anticoagulation, growth factor activation and viral infection.The initial step in the structural analysis of glycosaminoglycansis a definitive compositional analysis of its characteristicdisaccharide repeat structures. Current chromatographic or electrophoreticprocedures may have limitations in analysing glycosaminoglycansamples that are in low abundance, contain novel structuresthat need to be further characterized, or are metabolicallylabelled from radioactive precursors as a result of biosyntheticexperiments. This study presents a new methodology for analysingdisaccharides and oligosaccharides derived from chondroitinsulphate, dermatan sulphate and hyaluronan that fulfils theabove criteria. The procedure involves the separation of reducedforms of these glycoconjugates on a CarboPac PA1 column usingalkaline eluants. This study adopted a strategy which uses specificenzymes to release these disaccharides from their glycosaminoglycanforms. A borohydride reduction reaction was modified to be compatiblewith the buffer conditions commonly used with these enzymesin order to quantitatively reduce the disaccharides to theiralditol forms (thereby stabilizing them to alkaline pH). Chromatographyconditions were established which separated all known disaccharidealditol structures from chondroitin sulphate, dermatan sulphateand hyaluronan with extremely high resolution in a single run.Integrated pulsed amperometry was compared to UV absorbancemeasurement at 232 nm as two sensitive methods for detectingthese reduced disaccharides; most of them could be routinelydetected in the range of 50–500 ng. Data are presentedapplying this method to quantify hyaluronan in a biologicalsample which contains {small tilde}5000 cells and only {smalltilde}10 ng of hyaluronan. Additional data are presented todemonstrate that this procedure will also separate oligosaccharidealditols derived from hyaluronan. borohydride reduction glycosaminoglycans integrated pulsed amperometry |
