Molnarova K, Krizek T, Kozlik P. The potential of polyaniline-coated stationary phase in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-based solid-phase extraction for glycopeptide enrichment. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2024; 1237:124099. [PMID: 38547700 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2024.124099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
Glycopeptide enrichment is a crucial step in glycoproteomic analysis, often achieved through solid-phase extraction (SPE) on polar stationary phases in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC). This study explores the potential of polyaniline (PANI)-coated silica gel for enriching human immunoglobulin G (IgG). Experimental conditions were varied to assess their impact on glycopeptide enrichment efficiency, comparing PANI-cotton wool SPE with conventional cotton wool as SPE sorbents. Two formic acid concentrations (0.1% and 1%) in elution solvent were tested, revealing that higher concentrations led to earlier elution of studied glycopeptides, especially for sialylated glycopeptides. Substituting formic acid with acetic acid increased the interaction of neutral glycopeptides with the PANI-modified sorbent, while sialylated glycopeptides showed no significant change in enrichment efficiency. Acetonitrile concentration in the elution solvent (5%, 10%, and 20%) affected the enrichment efficiency with most glycopeptides eluting at the lowest acetonitrile concentration. The acetonitrile concentration in conditioning and washing solutions (65%, 75%, and 85%) played a crucial role; at 65% acetonitrile, glycopeptides were least retained on the stationary phase, and neutral glycopeptides were even detected in the flow-through fraction. This study shows the potential of in-house-prepared PANI-modified sorbents for SPE-HILIC glycopeptide enrichment, highlighting the crucial role of tuning experimental conditions in sample preparation to enhance enrichment efficiency and selectivity.

J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2024; 1234:124013. [PMID: 38295722 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2024.124013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
A facial and rapid method for glycoproteins enrichment by capillary electrophoresis was developed. The 3-aminophenylboronic acid-functionalized poly(glycidyl methacrylate) microparticles (PGMA@APBA) were attached to the capillary inlet (length of ∼1.5 cm) by electrostatic self-assemble action to prepare a partially coated capillary column. The process is simple and reversible, allowing for easy renewal of the PGMA@APBA coating when its enrichment efficiency decreases. By utilizing the coated column, glycoproteins can be enriched within 2 min. The column exhibits a specific enrichment for glycoproteins and can be consecutively used for approximately 60 runs. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of peak area of run-to-run (n = 5) and batch-to-batch (n = 3) were 1.5 % and 1.0%, respectively. The method was successfully applied to enrich glycoproteins from 1 × 1012-fold diluted real egg white sample, indicating its practical applicability.

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1287:342058. [PMID: 38182336 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
N-glycopeptide is considered as one of significant biomarkers which provide guidance for the diagnosis and drug design of diseases. However, the direct analysis of N-glycopeptides is nearly impracticable mainly owing to their extremely low abundance and grave signal suppression from other interfering substances in the bio-samples. In this research, a multiply-mesoporous hydrophilic TiO2 nanohybrid (mM-TiO2@Cys) was synthesized by immobilizing Cys on a TiO2 substrate with hierarchical mesopores to achieve the highly-performed enrichment of N-glycopeptides. With the advantages of superior hydrophilicity and multiply-mesoporous structure, the obtained material exhibited an excellent selectivity (IgG digests and BSA digests at the molar ratio of 1/500), a high sensitivity (1 fmol μL-1 for IgG digests) and a good size-exclusion ability (IgG digests, IgG and BSA at the molar ratio of 1/500/500) in the enrichment of N-glycopeptides from IgG digests. As a result, 281 N-glycopeptides corresponded with 109 glycoproteins were identified from 2 μL serum digests of the patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and 181 N-glycopeptides corresponded with 78 glycoproteins were identified from 2 μL serum digests of the healthy volunteers, revealing the potential application value of mM-TiO2@Cys in glycoproteomics.

Abstract
One of the representative coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) material, is of hotspot interest in the multi field thanks to their unique structural characteristics and properties. As a novel hierarchical structural class, MOFs show diverse topologies, intrinsic behaviors, flexibility, etc. However, bare MOFs have less desirable biofunction, high humid sensitivity and instability in water, restraining their efficiencies in biomedical and environmental applications. Thus, a structural modification is required to address such drawbacks. Herein, we pinpoint new strategies in the synthesis and functionalization of MOFs to meet demanding requirements in in vitro tests, i.e., antibacterial face masks against corona virus infection and in wound healing and nanocarriers for drug delivery in anticancer. Regarding the treatment of wastewater containing emerging pollutants such as POPs, PFAS, and PPCPs, functionalized MOFs showed excellent performance with high efficiency and selectivity. Challenges in toxicity, vast database of clinical trials for biomedical tests and production cost can be still presented. MOFs-based composites can be, however, a bright candidate for reasonable replacement of traditional nanomaterials in biomedical and wastewater treatment applications.

Glycan-selective in-situ growth of thermoresponsive polymers for thermoprecipitation and enrichment of N-glycoprotein/glycopeptides. Talanta 2023; 253:123956.

Abstract
In view of the biological significance and micro-heterogeneity of protein glycosylation for human health, specific enrichment of N-glycosylated proteins/peptides from complex biological samples is a prerequisite for the discovery of disease biomarkers and clinical diagnosis. In this work, we propose a "grafting-from" N-glycoprotein enriching method based on the in-situ growth of thermoresponsive polymer brushes from the N-glycosylated site of proteins. The initiator was first attached to the pre-oxidized glycan moieties by hydrazide chemistry, from which the thermoresponsive polymers can be grown to form giant protein-polymer conjugates (PPC). The thermosensitive PPC can be precipitated and separated by raising the temperature to above its lower critical solubility temperature (LCST). Mass spectrometry verified 210 N-glycopeptides corresponding to 136 N-glycoproteins in the rabbit serum. These results demonstrate the capability of the tandem thermoprecipitation strategy to enrich and separate N-glycoprotein/glycopeptide. Due to its simplicity and efficiency specifically, this method holds the potential for identifying biomarkers from biological samples in N-glycoproteome analysis.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) occur during or after protein biosynthesis and increase the functional diversity of proteome. They comprise phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, glycosylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation (among many other modifications), and influence all aspects of cell biology. Mass-spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is the most powerful approach for PTM analysis. Despite this, it is challenging due to low abundance and labile nature of many PTMs. Hence, enrichment of modified peptides is required for MS analysis. This review provides an overview of most common PTMs and a discussion of current enrichment methods for MS-based proteomics analysis. The traditional affinity strategies, including immunoenrichment, chromatography and protein pull-down, are outlined together with their strengths and shortcomings. Moreover, a special attention is paid to chemical enrichment strategies, such as capture by chemoselective probes, metabolic and chemoenzymatic labelling, which are discussed with an emphasis on their recent progress. Finally, the challenges and future trends in the field are discussed.
