Comparison of analytical-flow, micro-flow and nano-flow LC-MS/MS for sub-proteome analysis
The accurate and sensitive analysis of sub-proteomic samples, such as host cell proteins (HCPs) in recombinant products and stem cells in medical devices, is crucial for ensuring product safety and efficacy in the biopharmaceutical industry. However, current analytical techniques, such as conventional analytical-flow LC-MS/MS, face limitations in sensitivity due to the low concentrations of target proteins and the complexity of the sample matrix. In this study, a highly sensitive and repeatable micro-flow LC-MS/MS strategy was developed by replacing analytical-flow tubing with micro-flow tubing on an existing analytical-flow LC-MS system for sub-proteomic sample analysis. Method optimization and evaluation were first conducted with monoclonal antibody (mAb) digestion, focusing on enhancing sensitivity and repeatability. Over 8 days, relative standard deviations (RSDs) for retention time and mass area were less than 5 % and 10 %, respectively. Sensitivity improved by 2.91–4.14 times compared to the analytical-flow LC-MS/MS method. After confirming the reliability of the method, the micro-flow LC-MS/MS method was compared to the nano-flow LC-MS/MS method and the analytical-flow LC-MS/MS method in sub-proteomic sample analysis. For HCPs, the micro-flow LC-MS/MS method demonstrated superior qualitative and much better reproducibility than the nano-flow LC-MS/MS method, with more than 98 % of proteins showing intensity RSD values below 20 %. In the analysis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the micro-flow method demonstrated good reproducibility and better sensitivity than the analytical-flow method. Taking the analysis of the 20th generation of MSC products as an example, the sample analyzed by micro-flow LC-MS/MS resulted in the identification of 68 % and 8.5 % more peptides and proteins, respectively. Moreover, micro-flow maintained stable system pressure while analyzing umbilical cord stem cells, where nano-flow methods often encounter blockages. This micro-flow LC-MS/MS method is notable for its sensitivity, reproducibility, and straightforward operation, making it highly adaptable for diverse sub-proteomic analyses in biopharmaceutical laboratories.
期刊介绍:
This journal is an international medium directed towards the needs of academic, clinical, government and industrial analysis by publishing original research reports and critical reviews on pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. It covers the interdisciplinary aspects of analysis in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and clinical sciences, including developments in analytical methodology, instrumentation, computation and interpretation. Submissions on novel applications focusing on drug purity and stability studies, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic monitoring, metabolic profiling; drug-related aspects of analytical biochemistry and forensic toxicology; quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry are also welcome.
Studies from areas of well established and poorly selective methods, such as UV-VIS spectrophotometry (including derivative and multi-wavelength measurements), basic electroanalytical (potentiometric, polarographic and voltammetric) methods, fluorimetry, flow-injection analysis, etc. are accepted for publication in exceptional cases only, if a unique and substantial advantage over presently known systems is demonstrated. The same applies to the assay of simple drug formulations by any kind of methods and the determination of drugs in biological samples based merely on spiked samples. Drug purity/stability studies should contain information on the structure elucidation of the impurities/degradants.
