Quantification de biomarqueurs protéiques dans des matrices biologiques complexes par spectrométrie de masse : développements et applications / Quantification of protein biomarkers in complex biological fluids by mass spectrometry : developments and applications

Jeudy, Jérémy 17 November 2014 (has links)
Le travail présenté ici s'est penché sur les problèmes rencontrés sur ce type d'études protéomiques, et sur les solutions qui peuvent être explorées pour améliorer le débit d'évaluation des candidats biomarqueurs. Les peptides à méthionine sont généralement évités en raison de leur sensibilité à l'oxydation. Cependant, il semblait intéressant d'étudier leur modification endogène pouvant affecter les processus biologiques. Une première évaluation de l'impact de l'oxydation des apolipoproteins dans le cas de la maladie d'Alzheimer, a permis de mettre de côté ce biomarqueur potentiel, et de faire apparaître un certain nombre de problèmes liés au prélèvement et au stockage des échantillons biologiques. L'évaluation de dispositifs DBS (Dried Blood Spot) et Vivid à partir d'un panel de 32 protéines sanguines a permis de fournir une première solution envisageable pour maîtriser ces problèmes. Par la suite, un nouveau mode de quantification des peptides appelé MRM3 a été utilisé pour dépasser la complexité de la matrice biologique, et fournir une évaluation fiable des niveaux de concentration de 2 protéines plasmatiques, la C-Reactive protein et la TIMP-1, ainsi que 2 protéines urinaires, l'aquaporin-2 et la podocin. Pour améliorer la sensibilité d'analyse et réduire les coûts de solvants nécessaires aux analyses, l'évaluation d'une plate-forme de micro-chromatographie a été réalisée par comparaison à une plate-forme narrow-bore. Cette étude a permis de mettre en évidence l'impact important de l'effet matrice sur le processus analytique, nécessitant de développer de nouvelles stratégies de travail. Enfin, afin de réduire la complexité de l'échantillon, l'évaluation de cartouches d'extraction en phase solide à base de large taille de pores a été réalisé, et un protocole développé a permis d'analyser avec succès des enzymes contenus dans un échantillon de lessive commerciale. De plus, la durée nécessaire à la préparation d'échantillons biologiques a pu être fortement réduite en combinant une digestion rapide assistée par température combinée au dessalage en ligne, afin de permettre l'analyse quantitative des protéines qu'il contient seulement quelques heures après son arrivée au laboratoire / Over the past decade, interest in the use of biomarkers in clinical studies has greatly increased. Quantification of a candidate protein biomarker in complex samples (eg. plasma) requires targeted and multiplexed assays. Immunoassays are the gold standard for their quantification. However, with the need for targeted and multiplexed methods, recent developments in mass spectrometry (MS) make a viable alternative to ELISA. The present work has addressed the problems encountered in this type of proteomic studies, and solutions that can be explored to improve the workflow of candidate biomarker’s evaluation. Methionine peptides are generally avoided due to their susceptibility to oxidation. However, it seemed interesting to study how their endogenous modifications could affect biological processes. In a first time, apolipoproteins were dismissed as a potential biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease due to oxidation impact. In the same time, problems associated with biological sample collection and storage were highlighted. DBS (Dried Blood Spot) and Vivid device evaluation from a panel of 32 blood proteins has provided a first possible solution to overcome these troubles. Thereafter, a new peptide quantification method called MRM3 was used to overcome biological matrix complexity. Reliable level determinations of 2 plasma proteins (C-Reactive protein and TIMP-1) and 2 urinary proteins (aquaporin-2 and podocin) were obtained. To improve sensitivity and reduce analysis solvent costs, performances of a micro chromatography platform were compared to a narrow-bore platform. This study highlighted the significant impact of the matrix effect on the analytical process, requiring new strategie development. Finally, to reduce sample complexity, evaluation of wide pore solid-phase extraction cartridges has been achieved. A protocol was successfully developed to analyze enzymes contained in commercial laundry samples. Finally to optimize biological sample preparation time, heated-assisted digestion and online desalting step were successfully associated. Only few hours were then required for quantitative analysis

A Negative Dielectrophoresis Based Method of Detecting Pancreatic Cancer Antigen CA 242 in Serum

Afrose, Sharmin January 2020 (has links)
Patients with pancreatic cancer in metastasis rarely survive, thus the need for diagnostic tools for early stage detection. Current techniques such as ELISA and SPR are complex and expensive and cannot detect cancer in its early stages. Cancer Antigen 242 (CA 242) is a potential protein biomarker of pancreatic cancer with high sensitivity and specificity. This thesis presents a negative Dielectrophoresis (DEP) based method of detecting pancreatic cancer protein biomarker CA 242 in serum. A spectrum of concentration levels was generated with a cut off level 20 U/mL using a transduction mechanism with negative DEP spectroscopy, light scattering, and image processing. This was a fast and cost-effective method to diagnose early stage pancreatic cancer. This thesis also presents the design and simulation of an electrode modified to increase the electric field gradient with reduced heat generation and a concentration prediction model to predict concentrations from the generated spectrum of experiments.
