Discovery and validation of bladder cancer related excreted nucleosides biomarkers by dilution approach in cell culture supernatant and urine using UHPLC-MS/MS. J Proteomics 2023; 270:104737. [PMID: 36174950 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2022.104737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
The exploration of nucleoside changes in human biofluids has profound potential for cancer diagnosis. Herein, we developed a rapid methodology to quantify 17 nucleosides by UHPLC-MS/MS. Five pairs of isomers were successfully separated within 8 min. The ME was mostly eliminated by sample dilution folds of 1000 for urine and 40 for CCS. The optimized method was firstly applied to screen potential nucleoside biomarkers in CCS by comprising bladder cancer cell lines (5637 and T24) and normal human bladder cell line SV-HUC-1 together with student's t-test and OPLS-DA. Nucleosides with significant differences in the supernatant of urine samples were also uncovered comparing BCa with the non-tumor group, as well as a comparison of BCa recurrence group with the non-recurrence group. By intersecting the differential nucleosides in CCS and urine supernatant, and then further confirmed using validation sets, the combination of m3C and m1A with AUC of 0.775 was considered as a potential biomarker for bladder cancer diagnosis. A panel of m3C, m1A, m1G, and m22G was defined as potential biomarkers for bladder cancer prognosis with an AUC of 0.819. Above all, this method provided a new perspective for diagnosis and recurrence monitoring of bladder cancer. SIGNIFICANCE: The exploration of nucleoside changes in body fluids has profound potential for the diagnosis and elucidation of the pathogenesis of cancer. In this study, we developed a rapid methodology for the simultaneous quantitative determination of 17 nucleosides in the supernatant of cells and urine samples using UHPLC-MS/MS to discover and validate bladder cancer related excreted nucleoside biomarkers. The results of this paper provide a new strategy for diagnosis and postoperative recurrence monitoring of bladder cancer and provide theoretical support for the exploration of its pathogenesis.

Abstract
Urinary nucleosides and deoxynucleosides are mainly known as metabolites of RNA turnover and oxidative damage of DNA. For several decades these metabolites have been examined for their potential use in disease states including cancer and oxidative stress. Subsequent improvements in analytical sensitivity and specificity have provided a reliable means to measure these unique molecules to better assess their relationship to physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions. In fact, some are currently used as antiviral and antitumor agents. In this review we provide insight into their molecular characteristics, highlight current separation techniques and detection methods, and explore potential clinical usefulness.

Abstract
Boronic acids are well known for their ability to reversibly interact with the diol groups, a common motif of biomolecules including sugars and ribose. Due to their ability to interact with carbohydrates, they can be regarded as synthetic mimics of lectins, termed 'borono-lectins'. The borono-lectins can be tailored to elicit a broad profile of binding strength and specificity. This special property has been translated into many creative biomedical applications in a way interactive with biology. This review provides a brief overview of recent efforts of polymeric materials-based engineering taking advantage of such virtue of 'borono-lectins' chemistry, related to the field of biomaterials and drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Aminophenyl boronic acid (APBA) modified hydrogel beads were prepared as a new sorbent for nucleotide isolation. Spherical hydrogel beads, obtained by suspension copolymerization, were the base material for the sorbent. The carboxyl groups on the gel bead surface were activated with a water soluble carbodiimide, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC). APBA was then covalently attached to the activated structure via the amine groups. The maximum APBA attached to the gel was 34mg/g. The reversible adsorption-desorption behavior of β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (β-NAD) was investigated by using 3.5 and 34mg/g of APBA on the hydrogel beads. The equilibrium -NAD adsorption capacities for these beads were determined as approximately 25 and 100mg/g, respectively. The -NAD absorption capacity of these APBA beads is significantly greater than similar supports.

Modified nucleosides as biomarkers for early cancer diagnose in exposed populations. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2015; 30:956-967.

Abstract
There is increasing worldwide interest in developing of markers for tumor diagnosis and identification of individuals who are at high cancer risk. Cancer, like other diseases accompanied by metabolic disorders, causes characteristic effects on cell turnover rate, activity of modifying enzymes, and RNA/DNA modifications. This results in an increased excretion of modified nucleosides in cancer patients. Therefore, for many years modified nucleosides have been suggested as tumor markers. The aim of the study was to elucidate further the usefulness of urinary nucleosides as possible markers at early detection of cancer in persons which are exposed against tumor promoting influences during their working life. Uranium miners are exposed to many kinds of pollutants that can cause health damage even lead to carcinogenesis. We analyzed modified nucleosides in urine samples from 92 miners who are at high risk for lung cancer to assess the levels of nucleosides by a multilayer perceptron (MLP) classifier - a neural network model. Eighteen nucleosides/metabolites were detected with reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). A valid set of urinary metabolites were selected and multivariate statistical technique of multilayer perceptron neural network were applied. In a previous study, MLP shows a sensitivity and specificity of 97 and 85%, respectively. MLP classification including the most relevant markers/nucleosides clearly demonstrates the elevation of RNA metabolism in miners, which is associated with possible malignant disease. We found that there were 30 subjects with early health disorders among 92 uranium workers based on MLP technique using modified nucleosides. The combination of RP-HPLC analysis of modified nucleosides and subsequent MLP analyses represents a promising tool for the development of a non-invasive prediction system and may assist in developing management and surveillance procedures.

Abstract
Nucleosides are components of both DNA and RNA, and contain either a ribose (RNA) or 2deoxyribose (DNA) sugar and a purine or pyrimidine base. In addition to DNA and RNA turnover, modified nucleosides found in urine have been correlated to a diminished health status associated with AIDS, cancers, oxidative stress and age. Nucleosides found in municipal wastewater influent are potentially useful markers of community health status, and as of now, remain uninvestigated. A method was developed to quantify nucleosides in municipal wastewater using large-volume injection, liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Method accuracy ranged from 92 to 139% when quantified by using isotopically labeled internal standards. Precision ranged from 6.1 to 19% of the relative standard deviation. The method's utility was demonstrated by the analysis of twenty-four hour composite wastewater influent samples that were collected over a week to investigate community nucleoside excretion. Nucleosides originating from RNA were more abundant that DNA over the study period, with total loads of nucleosides ranging from 2 to 25 kg/day. Given this relatively high amount of nucleosides found over the study period they present an attractive analyte for the investigation of community health.

Abstract
Urinary nucleosides are associated with many types of cancer. In this study, six targeted urinary nucleosides, namely adenosine, cytidine, 3-methylcytidine, 1-methyladenosine, inosine, and 2-deoxyguanosine, were chosen to evaluate their role as biomarkers of four different types of cancer: lung cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, and breast cancer. Urine samples were purified using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and then analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The Mann-Whitney U test and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were used to compare differences in urinary nucleosides between patients with one of four types of cancer and healthy controls. The diagnostic sensitivity of single nucleosides for different types of cancer ranged from 14% to 69%. In contrast, the diagnostic sensitivity of a set of six nucleosides ranged from 37% to 69%. The false-positive identification rate associated with the set of six nucleosides in urine was less than 2% compared with that of less than 5% for a single nucleoside. Furthermore, combining the set of six urinary nucleosides with carcinoembryonic antigen improved the diagnostic sensitivity for colon cancer. In summary, the study show that a set of six targeted nucleosides is a good diagnostic marker for breast and colon cancers but not for lung and gastric cancers.

Abstract
Small molecules have long been used for the selective recognition of a wide range of analytes. The ability of these chemical receptors to recognise and bind to specific targets mimics certain biological processes (such as protein-substrate interactions) and has therefore attracted recent interest. Due to the abundance of biological molecules possessing polyhydroxy motifs, boronic acids-which form five-membered boronate esters with diols-have become increasingly popular in the synthesis of small chemical receptors. Their targets include biological materials and natural products including phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate, saccharides and polysaccharides, nucleic acids, metal ions and the neurotransmitter dopamine. This review will focus on the many ways in which small chemical receptors based on boronic acids have been used as biochemical tools for various purposes, including sensing and detection of analytes, interference in signalling pathways, enzyme inhibition and cell delivery systems. The most recent developments in each area will be highlighted.

Abstract
Over the last decade metabolomics has gained increasing popularity and significance in life sciences. Together with genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, metabolomics provides additional information on specific reactions occurring in humans, allowing us to understand some of the metabolic pathways in pathological processes. Abnormal levels of such metabolites as nucleosides in the urine of cancer patients (abnormal in relation to the levels observed in healthy volunteers) seem to be an original potential diagnostic marker of carcinogenesis. However, the expectations regarding the diagnostic value of nucleosides may only be justified once an appropriate analytical procedure has been applied for their determination. The achievement of good specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility of the analysis depends on the right choice of the phases (e.g. sample pretreatment procedure), the analytical technique and the bioinformatic approach. Improving the techniques and methods applied implies greater interest in exploration of reliable diagnostic markers. This review covers the last 11 years of determination of urinary nucleosides conducted with the use of high-performance liquid chromatography in conjunction with various types of detection, sample pretreatment methods as well as bioinformatic data processing procedures.

Abstract
In the postgenome-sequencing era, several large projects have been running recently. Proteomics and other analysis or structural biology are the most active today. Since the late 1990 s, metabolomics has been gaining importance in systems biology, as it provides real-world end points that complement and help in the interpretation of genomic and proteomic data. Comprehensive information about the level changes of numerous metabolites present in the analyzed samples is essential in metabolomic studies. Therefore, the applied analytical techniques must be suitable for the simultaneous analysis of a diverse range of low-molecular-mass endogenous metabolites such as nucleosides at various concentrations and in different matrices, in particular, in urine and serum. In the view of metabolomic study, this domain is obviously significant to understand specific humans' reactions and it can be perceived as a diagnostic and predictive tool in pathological reactions. Since the term "metabolom" has occurred in common scientific use, there have been many publications about possible ways of analysis of nucleosides as metabolites of either oxidative DNA damage or RNA's turnover that are used as the potential tumor markers. Besides, the availability of fast, reproducible and easy to apply analytical techniques that would allow the identification of a large number of metabolites is highly desirable since they may provide detailed information about the progression of a pathological process. This paper, which describes the most relevant electromigration techniques, covers the period starting from the review of Karl H. Schram (Mass Spectrom. Rev. 1998, 17, 131-251) up to the beginning of 2009.

Abstract
Urinary-modified nucleosides have a potential role as cancer biomarkers for a number of malignant diseases. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was combined with full-scan mass spectrometry, MS/MS analysis and accurate mass measurements in order to identify purine nucleosides purified from urine. Potential purine nucleosides were assessed by their evident UV absorbance in the HPLC chromatogram and then further examined by the mass spectrometric techniques. In this manner, numerous modified purine nucleosides were identified in the urine samples from cancer patients including xanthine, adenosine, N1-methyladenosine, 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine, 2-methyladenosine, N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine, inosine, N1-methylinosine, guanosine, N1-methylguanosine, N7-methylguanine, N2-methylguanosine, N2,N2-dimethyguanosine, N2,N2,N7-trimethylguanosine. Furthermore, a number of novel purine nucleosides were tentatively identified via critical interpretation of the combined mass spectrometric data including N3-methyladenosine, N7-methyladenine, 5'-dehydro-2'-deoxyinosine, N3-methylguanine, O6-methylguanosine, N1,N2,N7-trimethylguanosine, N1-methyl-N2-ethylguanosine and N7-methyl-N1-ethylguanosine.

Abstract
For the analysis of metabolite nucleoside profiles, capillary electrophoretic (CE) methods preceded by appropriate solid phase extraction procedures have been developed. The approach has been proposed for the determination of 13 nucleosides and creatinine in human urine. A background solution composed of 100 mM borate-72 mM phosphate-160 mM SDS and a fused silica capillary of 70 cm length to detector and 50 microm i.d. were used. The methods developed were statistically validated for their linearity, trueness, precision and selectivity. Stability of the analyzed nucleoside profiles in urine during storage was checked. Validation parameters of solid phase extraction procedures for urinary nucleosides were evaluated. The developed analytical methods were employed for the analysis of 22 urine samples from healthy patients and cancer patients from the urological ward. Nucleoside profiles were compared among the subjects. It was proved that the methods proposed were suitable for a fast and reliable determination of urinary creatinine and modified nucleoside profiles, which can be further submitted for the metabonomic analysis of cancer patients.

Abstract
We describe a microplate-based assay for NAD-dependent Class III histone deacetylases (also known as SIRTs) that measures the enzyme-catalyzed release of nicotinamide from radiolabeled NAD, using a boronic acid resin to selectively capture the NAD. This method avoids the need for fluorogenic or radiolabeled peptides or separation of the reaction products using solvent extraction. The protocol reported here is rapid and uses commercially available materials. The use of a simple microplate filtration device allows for the simultaneous processing of 96 samples, facilitating enzyme kinetic analyses and inhibition studies. Furthermore, monitoring nicotinamide release rather than peptide deacetylation obviates the need for chemical modification of protein and peptide substrates. This assay is applicable to SIRTs and other enzymes that cleave nicotinamide from NAD.

Abstract
In diseases accompanied by strong metabolic disorders, like cancer and AIDS, modifying enzymes are up- or down-regulated. As a result, many different types of metabolic end-products, including abnormal amounts of modified nucleosides, are found in urine. These nucleosides are degradation products of an impaired ribonucleic acid (RNA) metabolism, which affects the nucleoside pattern in urine. In several basic experiments we elucidated the fragmentation pathways of 16 characteristic nucleosides and six corresponding nucleic bases that occur in urine using electrospray ionization ion trap MS(5) (ESI-ITMS) experiments operated in positive ionization mode. For urinary nucleoside analysis, we developed an auto-LC-MS3 method based on prepurification via boronate gel affinity chromatography followed by reversed phase chromatography. For this purpose, an endcapped LiChroCART Superspher RP 18 column with a gradient of ammonium formate and a methanol-water mixture was used. This method gives a limit of detection of between 0.1 and 9.6 pmol for 15 standard nucleosides, depending on the basicity of the nucleoside. Overall, the detection of 36 nucleosides from urine was feasible. It was shown that this auto-LC-MS3 method is a valuable tool for assigning nucleosides from complex biological matrices, and it may be utilized in the diagnosis of diseases associated with disorders in RNA metabolism.

Abstract
Modified nucleosides are formed posttranscriptionally in RNA. During RNA turnover free modified nucleosides are formed which circulate in the blood stream and are excreted in the urine. Their levels are increased in a number of malignant diseases, and they can be used in clinical chemistry as tumor markers. The analysis includes the isolation of the nucleosides from urine with phenylboronate gel and their separation and quantitation by HPLC on C18 columns or by capillary electrophoresis on uncoated columns applying a sodium dodecyl sulfate-borate-phosphate buffer. Identification of the nucleosides is performed with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry including post source decay spectra. In two clinical studies the diagnostic value of urinary modified nucleosides is investigated, in a study on children with leukemia and other malignant diseases and a study on women with breast cancer. Candidate markers are pseudouridine, 1-methylguanosine, N2-methylguanosine, 3-methyluridine and 1-methyl-inosine.

Abstract
Three queuosine derivatives (Q-derivatives) have been found at position 34 of four mammalian so-called Q-tRNAs: queuosine (Q) in tRNA(Asn) and tRNA(His), mannosyl-queuosine (manQ) in tRNA(Asp), and galactosyl-queuosine (galQ) in tRNA(Tyr). An analytical procedure based on the combined means of purified tRNA isolation from liver cells and ribonucleoside analysis by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography coupled with real-time UV-spectrometry (RPLC-UV) was developed for the quantitative analysis of the three Q-derivatives present in total tRNA from liver tissues and liver cell cultures. Using this analytical procedure, the rates of Q-tRNA modification were studied in total tRNAs from various mammalian hepatic cells. Our results show that the four Q-tRNAs are fully modified in liver tissues from adult mammals, regardless of the mammal species. However, a lack in the Q-modification level was observed in Q-tRNAs from newborn rat liver, as well in Q-tRNAs from normal rat liver cell cultures growing in a low queuine content medium, and from a rat hepatoma cell line. It is noteworthy that in all cases of Q-tRNA hypomodification, our analytical procedure showed that tRNA(Asp) is always the least affected by the hypomodification. The biological significance of this phenomenon is discussed.

Physiological and metabolic actions of mycophenolate mofetil on cultured newborn rat cardiomyocytes in normoxia and in simulated ischemia. Fundam Clin Pharmacol 2004; 18:287-98.

Abstract
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a new immunosuppressive drug used to reduce acute rejection after heart transplantation. As with other immunosuppressive drugs, MMF therapy is associated with several adverse effects. However, the direct effects of MMF on myocardial tissue has not been yet evaluated. The aim of the work was thus to evaluate the effects of MMF on isolated cardiomyocytes (CM) in normal conditions and in an in vitro model of simulated ischemia (SI; substrate-free hypoxia) and reperfusion (R; reoxygenation). Myocyte-enriched cultures were prepared from newborn rat heart ventricles. The transmembrane potentials were recorded using conventional microelectrodes and the cell contractions were monitored with a photoelectric device. In basal conditions, MMF (10(-6) and 10(-5) M) exerted no significant effects on the survival and on the electrical and contractile activities of CM in culture, even during long-term exposure (up to 48 h). SI per se led to a gradual decrease and then an abortion of the spontaneous automaticity and electromechanical activity of CM. Pretreating CM with either 10(-6) or 10(-5) M MMF was able to reduce the SI-induced cell dysfunctions. The presence of MMF at these concentrations did not hamper the post-SI functional recovery of CM during reoxygenation. At 10(-5) M, MMF applied during reoxygenation only permitted a better recovery of CM. However, the mitochondrial function after reoxygenation, as assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test, was not significantly influenced by the addition of MMF before as well as after ischemia. Conversely, MMF was able to reduce in this model the postischemic rise in xanthine and hypoxanthine. These data from CM-enriched model show that MMF: (i) had no cytotoxic effect, (ii) displayed a cytoprotective effect during SI, and (iii) exerted its beneficial effect at least partly through the decrease in the xanthine oxidase-dependent free radical production.

Abstract
This study was aimed to apply an LC-MS-MS method previously developed for intracellular nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors-triphosphate (NRTI-TPs) to the determination of natural deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs) in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The LC-MS-MS method was directly used in assay of dATP and dTTP. Interferences by ribonucleotides (rNTPs) prevented direct application to the two other analytes: dGTP and dCTP. A periodate oxidation procedure was therefore optimized to remove rNTPs from the cell medium in order to quantitate dCTP and dGTP. The determination of the intracellular ratio of NRTI-TP/dNTP in HIV-infected patients now involves use of the same chromatographic system for simultaneous assay of several analytes.

Abstract
A rapid, accurate and precise HPLC-ESI-MS method for the determination of rat plasma uridine concentrations was developed and is described here. Sample preparation involves methanol precipitation of plasma proteins in a 96-well Captiva protein precipitation filter plate. A clear extract is drawn through the filter plate with vacuum, followed by evaporation of the extract and subsequent reconstitution prior to chromatography on a reversed-phase column with an aqueous mobile phase [0.1% (v/v) glacial acetic acid]. Detection was accomplished by positive-ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. A calibration curve ranging in concentration from 0.78 to 25 microM was constructed by best-fit, 1/x weighting linear regression analysis of the calibration standard concentrations vs peak height ratios of analyte with internal standard. The correlation coefficient was >0.995. The overall assay accuracy as shown by the back-calculated concentrations of the calibration curve ranged from 96.6 to 103% with RSD ranging from 4.5 to 20%. While this assay method was developed for the determination of uridine in rat plasma, it could be readily adapted for determination of uridine in plasma from other species, such as human.

Abstract
Modified nucleosides in the urine have been postulated to be diagnostic indices of disease, particularly of cancer. The urine of a patient with terminal head and neck cancer has been found to contain a modified nucleoside with a protonated molecule of m/z 228. By means of high-performance liquid chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry (HPLC/ITMS) and capillary liquid chromatography/triple quadruple mass spectrometry (CapLC/TQMS) we have identified the compound as 5'-deoxycytidine. This is the first report of 5'-deoxycytidine in man: in addition to the elucidation of its structure, its possible origins and the potential significance of its occurrence are discussed.

Abstract
A thermosensitive gel matrix was prepared by free radical copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) with a boronic acid-carrying monomer (i.e. 4-vinylphenylboronic acid, VPBA). The synthesis of the gel was performed at 70 degrees C in an alcohol-water mixture, using azobisisobutyronitrile and methylenebisacrylamide as the initiator and the crosslinker, respectively. To produce thermosensitive gels with a higher diol-binding affinity, an amino-containing comonomer, N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide (DMAPM) was included in the gel formation recipe. Thermally reversible VPBA-NIPAM and VPBA-DMAPM-NIPAM gels with different swelling properties were obtained by changing the feed concentrations of VPBA and DMAPM. To test the usability of the produced gels as sorbents in nucleotide adsorption, beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (beta-NAD) was selected as a model biomolecule. Then the adsorption isotherm for beta-NAD was obtained at +4 degrees C in HEPES buffer medium with a pH of 8.5. The support material was in a highly swollen form under these conditions, due to its thermosensitive character. This property was then used to enhance beta-NAD adsorption onto the gel matrix. Equilibrium adsorption capacities up to 70 mg beta-NAD/g dry gel could be achieved with the thermosensitive support prepared with the 12.9 mol% VPBA feed. The gels produced with higher VPBA and DMAPM feed concentrations exhibited higher equilibrium adsorption capacities for beta-NAD.

Abstract
Qualitative and quantitative analyses of urinary nucleosides have diagnostic potential as tumour markers. We have developed separation techniques linked to mass spectrometric detection in order to overcome the problems associated with past identification and quantitation methods. The three methods of analysis utilised were: gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), high-performance liquid chromatography/ion-trap mass spectrometry (HPLC/ITMS) and capillary liquid chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (CapLC/TQMS). Here we compare the relative effectiveness of each of the techniques for subsequent application in the systematic study of urinary nucleoside profiles in cancer patients. All three methods proved to be valuable techniques for such urinary nucleoside analyses, and a combination rather than one single choice is concluded as the ideal.

Abstract
Urinary modified nucleosides were determined by capillary electrophoresis using a 300 mM SDS-25 mM sodium tetraborate-50 mM sodium dihydrogenphosphate buffer. The nucleosides were extracted from urine by phenylboronate affinity gel chromatography. In cancer patients the levels of the modified nucleosides are generally elevated. By an artificial neural network method breast cancer patients were differentiated from normal individuals, which indicates that the modified nucleosides could be of clinical value as tumor markers.

Abstract
In order to optimise the analysis of urinary nucleosides by high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS), the HPLC separation of these compounds was performed at different 'flow rates' and 0.2mL/min was found to give both a better separation and ionisation. The ionisation conditions were optimised to give the best intensity of the molecules quasi-molecular ions. The ion distribution profile and ionisation in both positive and negative mode were examined and the detection of the protonated molecule in positive mode chosen for further analysis. The limits of detection of the method developed are reported and representative LC/MS and LC/MS/MS spectra shown. Typical urinary nucleoside chromatograms are presented.
