Serum proteomic profiles between diabetic patients and healthy adults with Tai-Chi exercise by Nano LC-ESI technology.

Chang, Wan-Ching 15 February 2012 (has links)
We have previously used a two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis protein expression with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization of mass spectrometry to identify the serum proteomic profiles before and after the Tai Chi exercise in normal adults (Yang & Chang, et al. Clin Chem 56:127, 2010). However, the high abundant serum proteins in seyal samples might interfere the discovery of low abundance proteins in two-dimensional electrophoresis, but these low abundant proteins may play an important role on human physiology. Therefore, we looked for another way to resolve this complex issue. After multiple attempts, we chose a commercial affinity column to exclude 14 kinds of high-abundance proteins before analyses of serum proteomic displays. This column could be fit into a fast liquid chromatography separation of purified proteins and eluted for low abundant proteins. The low abundant proteins were first expressed by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis of proteins followed by a series of gel cut down for in-gel digestion by trypsin and subject to nano-liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry analysis (nano-LC ESI MS/MS ). The results obtained by software analysis were subject to its functional pathways analysis. We analysed 3 comparisons of the protein displays including differences between normal adults before and after exercise, differences of normal adults and diabetic patients before and after exercise. Experiments were next performed to validate the most significant difference of proteins between each category by enzyme-linked immunoassay. Results showed that dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) proteins were significantly higher in diabetic patients than in normal adults ( P values were 0.011 and less than 0.001), while the prolactin-inducible protein (PIP) was higher in normal adults than in diabetic patients after exercise (P value of 0.042). To our knowledge, decrease of DPP4 in type 2 diabetes has been shown to reduce blood sugar and improve the immunity; and NGAL has been confirmed to be an indicator for early diagnosis of acute kidney injury. Therefore, we have identified certain functional proteomic markers in normal and diabetic patients after Tai Chi exercise. This study model with exclusion of high-abundance serum proteins is a useful mode for identifying immune and metabolic marker with and without.

Separation of Enantiomers by Means of NanoO-Liquid Chromatography / Enantiomerų Skirstymas Skysčių Nano-Chromatografijos Būdu

Nano-liquid chromatography (nano-LC) was selected as analytical tool to develop different methods for chiral separations. Nano-LC offers several advantages over conventional LC, e.g., low sample requirement, short analysis time, easy coupling with mass spectrometer, and use of small amount of reagents, with a consequent low environmental pollution. In case of chiral separations, where expensive chiral stationary phases or chiral mobile phase additives (CMPA) have to be employed, nano-LC results very useful since it allows to perform analysis with small amount of this costly material. Initially, a derivatized β-cyclodextrin, heptakis (2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin, was employed as CMPA for the chiral separation of some non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The role of different achiral stationary phases in the separative process was investigated. The employed capillary columns were packed in the laboratory, following the slurry-packing procedure. Subsequently, the performance of a reversed phase C18 particulate packed column was compared with that one of a C18 monolithic column, in combination with cyclodextrins (heptakis (2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin or hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin) as CMPA. Finally, hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin was selected as chiral selector to prepare chiral monolithic columns by one-step synthesis. For this aim, the cyclodextrin was activated as the allyl derivative. The composition of the polymeric mixture of the continuous beds was varied...

Skysčių nano-chromatografija turi eilę privalumų, lyginant su tradiciniais skysčių chromatografijos metodais, pvz.: mažą bandinio poreikį, trumpą analizės trukmę, suderinamumą su masės spektrometrija ir nedideles tirpiklių, reagentų sąnaudas, todėl mažą aplinkos taršą. Chiralinių junginių analizei atlikti, kai reikalingos brangios chiralinės nejudrios fazės ar chiraliniai judrios fazes priedai, skysčių nano-chromatografija yra ypač naudinga, nes leidžia atlikti analizę su minimaliomis šių brangių medžiagų sąnaudomis. Pirmiausia, derivatizuotas β-ciklodekstrinas, heptakis (2,3,6-tri-O-metil) - β-ciklodekstrinas, buvo panaudotas kaip chiralinis nejudrios fazes priedas kai kurių nesteroidinių priešuždegiminių vaistų enantiomerams atskirti. Buvo įštirtas įvairių achiralinių nejudrių fazių vaidmuo atskyrimo procese. Šiuo tikslu naudojant suspensinį birių dalelių pakavimo metodą laboratorijoje buvo paruoštos kapiliarinės kolonėlės. Vėliau, buvo lyginama C18 biriais sorbentais pakrautų atvirkštinių fazių ir monolitinių kapiliarinių kolonėlių skiriamoji geba, chralinias judrios fazes priedais naudojant ciklodekstrinus (heptakis (2,3,6-tri-O-metil)-β-ciklodekstriną arba hidroksipropil-β-ciklodekstriną). Galiausiai, vienpakopės polimerizacijos būdu buvo gautos chiralines kapiliarines kolonėles, chiralniu selektoriumi naudojant hidroksipropil-β-ciklodekstriną. Šiuo tikslu... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]
