One of the main epigenetic modifications is the methylation of DNA cytosines, 5-methyl-2′-deoxycycytidine. Furthermore, 5-mdC can be oxidized to form three new modifications, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2′-deoxycytidine, 5-formyl-2′-deoxycytidine, and 5-carboxy-2′-deoxycytidine. The coupling of liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry has been widely used for the total determination of methylated DNA cytosines in samples of biological and clinical interest. These methods are based on the measurement of the free compounds (e.g., urine) or after complete hydrolysis of the DNA (e.g., tissues) followed by a preconcentration, derivatization, and/or clean-up step. This review highlights the main advances in the quantification of modified nucleotides and nucleosides by isotope dilution using isotopically labeled analogs combined with liquid or gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry reported in the last 20 years. The different possible sources of labeled compounds are indicated. Special emphasis has been placed on the different types of chromatography commonly used (reverse phase and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography) and the derivatization methods developed to enhance chromatographic resolution and ionization efficiency.

Here we describe the ProteomeXchange consortium repositories. We specifically search, collect and evaluate public human tissue datasets (categorized as “complete” by the repository) submitted in 2015–2022, to both map the existing information and assess the data set reusability. Human tissue data are variably represented in the repositories reviewed, ranging between 10% and 25% of the total data submitted, with cancers being the most represented, followed by neuronal and cardiovascular diseases. About half of the retrieved data sets were found to lack annotations or metadata necessary to directly replicate the analysis. This poses a rough challenge to data reusability and highlights the need to increase awareness of the mage-tab file format for metadata in the community. Overall, proteomics repositories have evolved greatly over the past 7 years, as they have grown in size and become equipped with various powerful applications and tools that enable data searching and analytical tasks.

Pharmaceutical analysis is specific due to its stringent regulation procedures, the need for good laboratory/manufacturing practices, and a large number of routine quality control analyses to be carried out. The role of MS is, therefore, very different throughout the whole drug development cycle. While it dominates within the drug discovery and development phase, in routine quality control, the role of MS is minor and indispensable only for selected applications. Moreover, its role is very different in the case of analysis of small molecule pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals. Our review explains the role of current MS in the analysis of both small-molecule chemical drugs and biopharmaceuticals. Important features of MS-based technologies being implemented, method requirements, and related challenges are discussed. The differences in analytical procedures for small molecule pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals are pointed out. While a single method or a small set of methods is usually sufficient for quality control in the case of small molecule pharmaceuticals and MS is often not indispensable, a large panel of methods including extensive use of MS must be used for quality control of biopharmaceuticals.
