Using Mixed Isotope Labeling for Systems BiologyShane LamosVermont Genetics Network Annual RetreatAugust 7, 2013
Systems Biology - Seeks to discover the link between molecules and physiology Top Down – “omics”, phenomenon based Bottom Up – mechanism based e.g. enzyme kinetics
Research Projects • Develop new chemical methodologies to explore • biological systems • Mixed Isotope labeling coupled with MS • Proteome • Identification of small molecule protein targets • Enhanced detection of proteins with charge auxiliaries • Metabolome • Relative quantification of amine metabolites • Relative quantification of fatty acid metabolites • Multiplexed analysis of carboxylic acid metabolites • Relative quantification of small carboxylic acids
L L L H H H Isotope Dilution vs Isotope Labeling Experimental Metabolites Internal Standard Experimental Metabolites Control Metabolites Label with Light (L) Reagent Label with Heavy (H) Reagent ?
How Does Relative Quantification of Metabolites Work? Sample A Sample B Mix Samples x x y y x x y y Light Isotope Label Heavy Isotope Label Separate Analytes Electrospray MS x x y y Y Y X Intensity X m/z
Cholamineas an Isotopic Label for Fatty Acids • Fixed positive charge enhanced detection in positive ion-mode (MS) • Isotopically labeled metabolites co-elute • Light and heavy label signifies carboxylic acid functionality Light M + 0 Heavy M + 9
Enhanced Detection of Labeled Metabolites • Ionizability of Analyte is Enhanced Valine, Asparagine, Glutamic Acid, Tryptophan
Extracted Ion Chromatograms of Co-Eluting Heavy- and Light-Labeled Carboxylic Acids 16:0 18:1 (Fatty Acid 18:2) 18:2 18:0 16:1 20:4

Five-Plex Isobaric Cholamines Using a silkworm hyperglycemic model of type II diabetes Silkworms grown under 5 different diet scenarios Measuring free fatty acids in hemolymph simultaneously
Cholamines as Isotopic Labels Effective for relative quantification of carboxylic acids Pre-ionized fatty acids readily quantified in LC-MS Heavy- and light-labeled analytes co-elute “Multiplexing’ of carboxylic acid functionality
Hydrophobic Tag for Small Carboxylic Acids Many important small carboxylic acid metabolites Too polar for chromatographic retention labeled with cholamine Need a more hydrophobic mixed isotope labeling reagent
Synthesis of DMP and DMP + 6 Non-Isotopic and Isotopic Putrescine (13C0 and 13C4) Non-Isotopic and Isotopic Formaldehyde (H212CO and H213CO) DMP {M + 0, and M + 6} Labeled a series of small carboxylic acids with DMP {0, and 6} Investigating coupling conditions for precision and accuracy Also using DMP for enhanced ETD Top-down Proteomics
