The resulting current sgRNA methodologies have limited chromatographic selectivity near the FLP and limited MS compatibility. Here, we perform a systematic evaluation of chromatographic parameters to develop a highly selective ion-pairing reversed-phase chromatography separation for sgRNAs. We identify that stronger and more hydrophobic ion-pairing reagents promote the selectivity for long truncation impurities. Further, reduced flow rates and temperatures promote selectivity near the FLP. Together, this study reports the first single-nucleotide resolution chromatography method for an sgRNA modality while employing a highly MS-compatible mobile phase.

The piRNAs are implicated in the progression of various cancers, but the simultaneous monitoring of multiple piRNAs remains a challenge. Herein, we construct a single-molecule biosensor based on polymerization-transcription-mediated target regeneration for the simultaneous one-pot detection of multiple piRNAs. This assay involves two cycles. In step 1, target piRNAs hybridize with the template probe complexes to yield three-way junction (3WJ) structures. Then, KF DNA polymerase initiates the extension to generate a complete T7 promoter, and the extension product can act as an invading strand to displace signal probes, resulting in the release of fluorophores. Then, in step 2, the T7 promoter can be recognized by T7 RNA polymerase to initiate transcription, producing abundant transcripts with 3′–OH that are identical to piRNAs. The resultant transcripts can hybridize with free template probe complexes to obtain new 3WJ structures that can be elongated by KF polymerase for the recovery of fluorescence signals. This assay can be performed homogeneously in a one-pot format within 30 min, and it exhibits high sensitivity, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 19.26 aM for piRNA-36026 and 41.88 aM for piRNA-36743. Moreover, it can simultaneously detect endogenous piRNAs at the single-cell level and differentiate piRNA expression in the tissues of healthy individuals and breast cancer patients, offering a prospective platform for clinic diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":27,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Chemistry","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143057157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the urinary metabolic profiles of oxymetholone and methasterone using gas chromatography-orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-Orbitrap-HRMS) in nanogram level by utilizing a novel multiplex nontargeted framework protocol. Healthy volunteers each ingested one tablet of the drug, and urine samples were collected over 50 days in postadministration phase. The complete detection of the three fractions (free fraction, glucuronide fraction, and sulfate fraction) of the metabolites was carried out. The GC-Orbitrap-HRMS full-scan mode was employed to detect postadministration urine samples, comparing these with preadministration baseline urine samples to identify newly formed substances. Electron ionization (EI) mass spectra were used to infer possible metabolite structures, leading to the discovery of three novel metabolites of oxymetholone and two novel metabolites of methasterone. Notably, the newly identified oxymetholone metabolite, 2-methylene-17α-methyl-androstane-16ξ,17β-diol-3-one (O-M6), was detectable as a glucuronide conjugate up to 4 days after administration. The methasterone metabolite, 18-nor-17β-hydroxymethyl-2α,17α-dimethyl-5α-androst-13-en-3-one (M-M4), exhibited prolonged detectability as a glucuronide conjugate, being present in urine samples from both volunteers up to 50 days after administration.

Furthermore, there has been a general lack of rigorous analytical and biophysical characterization of nanodiscs comprising more than one lipid. To address these challenges, we coupled a nanodisc formation and purification workflow with targeted LC-MS/MS analysis to quantify lipids in nanodiscs made with different compositions. We screened lipids with a variety of headgroups and acyl chains and found that lipids did not always incorporate into nanodiscs at expected levels. Disparities in lipid incorporation were found to increase upon the addition of lipids known to induce curvature or rigidity to the membrane. Additionally, we found that adding just one additional type of lipid to nanodiscs changes the particle diameter and dispersity compared to nanodiscs containing a single lipid. We also formed and characterized nanodiscs using a complex starting composition inspired by the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and observed native-like cholesterol dynamics that modulated the lipid fluidity in the model bilayer system. Taken together, this work serves as a foundation for understanding nonstoichiometric lipid incorporation into nanodiscs and provides a basis for more thorough nanodisc characterization and quality control, which is critical to ensure multilipid nanodiscs synthesized accurately model the biological system of interest, enabling robust characterization of how the lipid landscape affects membrane protein structure and activity.</p>","PeriodicalId":27,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143062333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
