The primary structure of TNK-tissue plasminogen activator (TNK-tPA) was characterized using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Firstly, the molecular mass of deglycosylated protein was measured. Then peptide mass mapping and MS/MS of the reduced, alkylated and trypsin-digested sample were tested and analyzed so as to verify its amino acid sequence and identify post-translational modifications. Results show that the amino acid sequence was consistent with designed structure; about 5% of M207 was oxidized; T61 was fucosylated with -80% occupancy; N103, N448 and N184 (-15% occupancy) were glycosylated with complex-type oligosaccharides. LC-MS coupled with proper sample pretreatment is approved to be a rapid and powerful approach to characterize the primary structure of TNK-tPA.

Objective To investigate the effects of fasudil on expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax in cerebral cortex of model rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods Thirty rats were divided into sham operation group, SAH group and SAH+fasudil group, 10 rats in each group. Double injection of blood into occipital cistern method was used for SAH model in SAH group and SAH+fasudil group. In the sham operation group, the blood injection was instead by normal saline. In the SAH+fasudil group, at 30 min after the second injection of blood, rats were administrated with intraperitoneal injection of fasudil at a dose of 3 mg/kg. The general situation, neurological score, TUNEL staining for cortex cell apoptosis, immune histochemical staining and Western blotting assay for Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression were compared 24 h after the operation between the three groups. Results Compared with the sham operation group, rats in SAH group and SAH +fasudil group appeared obvious neurological deficits. The neurological score was significantly lower in SAH group ( 2.68 ± 0.31) than that of sham operation group (5.00±0.00). The neurological score was significantly higher in SAH+fasudil group (3.27 ± 0.35) compared with that of SAH group (2.68 ± 0.31, P<0.05). There was obvious cell apoptosis in SAH group and SAH+fasudil group, and the apoptosis was less in SAH+fasudil group than that of SAH group (P<0.05). The level of Bcl-2 expression was significantly lower in SAH group than that of sham operation group, and Bax expression was significantly higher in SAH group than that of sham operation group (P<0.05). The level of Bcl-2 expression was significantly higher in SAH+fasudil group than that of SAH group, but Bax expression was significantly lower in SAH+fasudil group than that of SAH group (P<0.05). Conclusion Fasudil can improve the neurological damage in rats with SAH, which may be related with the regulation of apoptosis related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax.

Aim To study the inhibitory effect of chitosan on peroxidation and monocytes adhesion to vascular endothelial cells induced by high concentration of glucose. Methods Human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC) were treated with high glucose, and high glucose with different concentrations of chitosan for 24 h. Hydroxyl radicals (OH?) and malon-dialdehyde (MDA) were measured. Monocytes Raw 264.7 were pre-incubated with Rhodamin123, and then co-cultured with HUVEC for 30 min, followed bymicroscope observation and determination of the monocytes adhesion. Finally, the mRNA expression of vascular cell adhesion molecular-1 (VCAM-1) was evaluated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Concentrations of OH? and MDA in HUVEC increased after incubation with high glucose. Both of the amount of adhesive monocytes and mRNA expression level of VCAM-1 in HUVEC were induced by high glucose. Inversely, chitosan inhibited these changes in a dose-dependent manner without any cytotoxicity to cells. Conclusion Chitosan can scavenge free radicals and prevent peroxidative injury on vascular endothelial cells, which further down-regulates the expression of VCAM-1 and consequently inhibits the adhesion of monocytes to endothlial cells.

The amino acid sequence of the fusion protein FP3 was measured by two types of LC-MS/MS and its primary structure was confirmed. After reduction and alkylation, the protein was digested with trypsin and glycosyl groups in glycopeptide were removed by PNGase F. The mixed peptides were separated by LC, then Q-TOF and Ion trap tandem mass spectrometry were used to measure b, y fragment ions of each peptide to analyze the amino acid sequence of fusion protein FP3. Seventy-six percent of full amino acid sequence of the fusion protein FP3 was measured by LC-ESI-Q-TOF with the remaining 24% completed by LC-ESI-Trap. As LC-MS and tandem mass spectrometry are rapid, sensitive, accurate to measure the protein amino acid sequence, they are important approach to structure analysis and identification of recombinant protein.

Structure of a recombinant chimeric anti-CD20 IgG1 monoclonal antibody was verified by the application of high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS)and N-terminal sequencer. Molecular masses, N-terminal sequences and peptide maps of the antibody treated with different reagents and enzymes were measured. Results indicate that the amino acid sequences of light and heavy chains and 10 disulfide bonds were consistent with theoretical structure. By comparison of molecular masses and peptide maps for the fully glycosylated and deglycosylated samples, the N-linked glycosylation site was identified. The method is simple, rapid, precise, and could be referred to the quality control and structure determination of other IgG1 products.

Accurate determination of biological activity is essential in quality control of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP). In previous study, we successfully developed a genetically modified cell line 293GCAC3-based ELISA assay for rhBNP. But ELISA procedure is still tedious, so this study was aimed to develop a rapid and simple bioassay for rhBNP using GloSensor technology, which provides a platform of flexible luciferase-based biosensors for real-time detection of signaling events in live cells, including cGMP production. A reporter cell line 293GCAGlo-G1 was constructed by transfecting pGloSensor?40 F plasmid into 293GCAC3. The reporter assay based on 293GCAGlo-G1 showed high precision with intra-assay CV being 8.3% and inter-assay CV being 14.1%; high accuracy with 80%, 100% and 120% recovery rate being 99.2%, 102.4% and 99.0% respectively; and great linearity with R2of linear fitting equation being 0.99. Besides, no significant difference was found in test results of reporter assay and 293GCAC3-based ELISA assay (paired t test, p=0.630). All these results suggested that the reporter assay was a viable assay for biological determination of rhBNP.
