  1. The Equipment LC-MS/MS Fluorescence detector Micromass Quattro Ultima triple quadrupole mass spectrometric detector Photodiode array detector (PDA) HPLC system (LC) Electrospray ionisation source (-ve & +ve ion)

  2. A little bit about triple quadrupole mass spectrometry.

  3. A little bit about electrospray ionisation.

  4. Sample infusion Mass analyser-2 OFF Mass analyser-1 Electrospray source Collision cell Photomultiplier detector Infusion pump n+ Protein (n+x)+ Protein Response Parent ions • Measurement of protein mass by triple quadrupole MS. Mass spectrometer Protein (pure) sample (prepared by investigator) • Multiple-charged ion series - deconvolution gives molecular masses • Intractable analysis for complex protein mixtures. Limited mass resolution.

  5. Applications: Peptide mapping of haemoglobin modified by methylglyoxal

  6. HPLC Mass analyser-2 Mass analyser-1 Electrospray source Collision cell Photomultiplier detector + + Biomarker fragment Enzymatic hydrolysate (prepared by investigator) Response Biomarker Parent ion Fragment ion • Detection of protein biomarkers by LC-MS/MS: • Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) Mass spectrometer • High specificity • (LC, MS1 and MS2 resolution) • High sensitivity • Biomolecule compatible • Biomarker screening in 75 min per sample.

  7. Advanced glycation endproducts LC-MS/MS with stable isotope-substituted internal standards

  8. Detection of protein biomarkers by LC-MS/MS: Calibration, sample de-lipidification, ultrafiltration & enzymatic hydrolysis • Internal standardisation and calibration • Standards and stable isotope-substituted standards e.g. CML and [13C6]CML, MG-H1 and [15N2]MG-H1 • Delipidification and AGE fractionation • Ultrafiltration to separate protein AGE residues and free AGEs • Ether or methanol/chloroform extraction • Enzymatic digestion: • Pepsin (+ thymol) • Pronase E (under nitrogen, penicillin and streptomycin added) • Prolidase and aminopeptidase (under nitrogen) • Analytical performance • Limits of detection: 20 – 500 fmol. • Recoveries: >80%; 94-100% for amino acids • Interbatch c.v.: <10% (n = 6)

  9. Detection of protein biomarkers by LC-MS/MS: • Retention of amino acids and AGEs and use of column switching To MS/MS Sample Hypercarb column (2.1 x 50 mm) Hypercarb column (2.1 x 250 mm) Switching valve Non-volatile salts to waste • Hypercarb graphitic columns retain underivatised amino acids, allowing for diversion of non-volatile salts to waste. • Column switching facilitates elution of hydrophobic analytes and column washing.

  10. Examples of detection by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM): CML CML detected in plasma protein of a normal healthy human control subject.

  11. Examples of detection multiple reaction monitoring (MRM): Methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone MG-H1 detected in rat retinal protein hydrolysate of a STZ diabetic rat.

Locate modified peptide M+ ion Peptide map • Peptide mapping to identify sites of protein modification Peptide mapping to identify glycation sites. Mass spectrometer

  14. Glycation of human serum albumin by methylglyoxal Location of glycation sites by LC-MS peptide mapping • Limited proteolysis of MGmin-HSA and HSA control • Reduction of disulphide bonds with dithiothreitol. • S-Alkylation of cysteine thiols by iodoacetamide. • Digestion with trypsin (and independently with Glu-C for corroboration). MS detection of peptide fragments by LC-MS and quantitation of the MS response • Peptides are partially resolved by HPLC with ODS chromatography and detected by positive ion electrospray MS.

  15. MS detection of peptide fragments by LC-MS and quantitation of the MS response • Peptide responses are normalised to the C-terminal peptide (LVAASQAALGL). • Loss of peptides in MGmin-HSA digest was quantified by the mean normalised peptide response for MGmin-HSA, relative to HSA control (mean c.v. = 11%). This is assumed due to glycation • The glycated peptides were also detected as modified dipeptides (resistant to proteolysis in tryptic maps). Modification of arg-410 Peptide(T52) FQNALLVR

Ion chromatograms for dipeptide T52-53 (containing MG-H1-410) Ion chromatograms for peptide T52 (containing R410) LC-MS/MS peptide mapping can also be used to locate glycation, oxidation and nitration markers Location of MG-H1 residues in human serum albumin modified minimally by methylglyoxal • Predicted mass of T52-53 FQNALLVRMG-H1YTK 1406.9; found peptide mass 1406.8 Da.
