SADRI, BEHROKH BAGHERIFAR. Protein Analysis at the Single Cell Level by Nonlinear Laser Wave-Mixing Spectroscopy for High Throughput Capillary Electrophoresis Applications. (Under the direction of William G. Tong and Morteza G. Khaledi) Nonlinear degenerate four-wave mixing is presented as an ultrasensitive optical absorption-based method for detection and measurement of biological samples. Wave-mixing imaging detection technique can localize and quantify biomolecules in single cells and tissue sections with excellent spatial distribution of light absorbed by a target sample. Cellular components can be label-free or labeled with a chromophore or a fluorophore and imaged by wave mixing using a CCD camera. In a 2-D forward-scattering wave-mixing geometry, two overlapping laser beams form interference gratings and transfer their energy to an absorbing medium, creating thermal gratings followed by changes in the refractive index. The probe beam diffracts off these laser- induced gratings to produce the signal beam, which is detected by a CCD camera or a photodiode. A single bio cell can be placed in a glass slide and as the laser beams probe the labeled cellular component, the CCD camera captures wave-mixing signals corresponding to the absorbing cellular components. This nonlinear imaging technique can be used for both live and fixed cells in real time to obtain information on sequential changes in the number, morphology and distribution of cellular components in a single cell. Nonlinear laser wave-mixing spectroscopy coupled with capillary electrophoresis provides a novel ultrasensitive method for single-cell protein analysis. This method is used to detect proteins separated within a single cell. Nonlinear wave mixing has many advantages including quadratic dependency on analyte concentration, high spatial resolution and small sample requirements. Furthermore, wave mixing offers excellent detection sensitivity levels even when using very short optical path lengths, an.

The trend towards high throughput applications and miniaturization necessitates approaches capable of microlitre volume sampling and low protein concentration detection. Furthermore, one of the major trends in high throughput screening is the growing replacement of technologies that depend on radioactivity to generate a signal with those that rely on fluorescence. This trend towards non-radioactive detection in general can be understood by some of the advantages inherent to these methods over radioactive modes. These include a significant reduction in safety concerns leading to a relaxation of strict laboratory procedures, elimination of expensive waste disposal, extended shelf-life of labeled reagents, and the possibility of acquiring multiplexed data through the spectral isolation of different wavelength signals. A variety of capillary electrophoretic (CE) approaches utilizing laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) have thus been developed, providing researchers with valuable tools in protein analysis. Various covalent and non-covalent fluorescent derivatization approaches have been investigated, with emphasis on biochemical and/or clinical applications. The non-covalent dye, NanoOrange, is used as a clinical diagnostic tool for early disease diagnosis, quantitating nanomolar concentrations of human serum albumin in solution, and obtaining fluorescence-based biofluid profiles. An alternate non-covalent labeling approach utilizing the fluorescent probe, Sypro Red, and capillary gel electrophoresis allows for rapid, sensitive analysis of protein sample purity as well as molecular weight determination. These two non-covalent approaches are complemented by the development of a fluorescent Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) analog for use in bioanalytical applications. Specific derivatization reaction conditions were developed to selectively label the N-terminus of the analog hence preserve biological activity. High-performance liquid chromatography and electrospray mass spectrometry were used to confirm the extent of labeling and modification site. Antibody recognition of this fluorescent analog was evaluated using CE-LIF, illustrating the clinical utility of this diagnostic reagent. In addition to the above CE-LIF approaches, a fourth capillary electrophoretic tool is provided for the clinical chemist. Rapid analysis of biofluids is of significant importance in early disease diagnosis. As such, an extensive CE-based analysis of human seminal plasma is presented. Separation conditions, sample stability, and protein/non-protein zone identification issues are addressed. This study and the CE-LIF methodologies discussed above represent original approaches to nanoscale protein analysis.
Top-down proteomics (TDP) enables the proteome profiling of biological subjects at the proteoform level and understanding of differential functions associated with proteoform heterogeneity, such as sequence variation, post-translational modifications (PTMs), etc. Drastic advances on TDP technologies (e.g. sample preparation, separation/fractionation, fragmentation, bioinformatics, etc.) have been achieved in the past decades. Further improvements in separation remain desired for better analysis throughput and deeper proteome coverage. Capillary electrophoresis (CE), including capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF), provide superior separation performance for proteoforms. This dissertation focuses on the advancement of CE-MS-based tools on throughput, separation resolution, and capacity for TDP and utility of these tools for biological applications.In Chapter 2, we developed high-throughput and high-capacity cIEF-MS/MS platforms. The high-throughput platform enables efficient identification and quantification of proteoforms (less than one hour per run), whereas the high-capacity cIEF-MS/MS provides large number of proteoform identifications (IDs, more than 700 proteoforms in a single shot analysis) which is valuable for deep TDP. In Chapter 3, we further improved the stability and robustness of cIEF-MS platform using optimized linear polyacrylamide (LPA) capillary coating and catholyte with lower pH (pH~10). The work achieved high-resolution characterization and accurate isoelectric point (pI) determination of charge variants (~0.1 pI difference) of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). In Chapter 4, we developed a nondenaturing cIEF-MS platform for ultrahigh resolution characterization of microheterogeneity of a variety of protein complexes. Typically, pI determinations of variants in protein complexes allow us to decipher how sequence or PTM variations modulate the pIs of the protein complexes. In Chapter 5, while CZE-MS/MS is a well-developed approach, for the first time, we coupled FAIMS to CZE-MS/MS to facilitate online gas-phase fractionation of proteoforms. The FAIMS greatly enhanced the sensitivity of the system and expanded the number of proteoform IDs, especially large proteoform IDs. The work renders CZE-FAIMS-MS/MS as a new powerful multidimensional platform for deep TDP.In Chapters 6 and 7, we applied cIEF-MS/MS and CZE-MS/MS for studying the sexual dimorphism of zebrafish brains and proteoform-level differences between metastatic and nonmetastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, respectively. In Chapter 6, quantitative TDP of thousands of proteoforms from male and female zebrafish brains by cIEF-MS/MS based approach discovered various overexpressed proteoforms in male or female brains that are closely associated with hormone activity. In Chapter 7, We performed deep TDP study of non-metastatic and metastatic CRC cells (SW480 and SW620) using CZE-MS/MS based multidimensional platform and identified more than 20,000 proteoforms of over 2,000 proteins from the two cell lines, which presents around 5-folds higher number of proteoform IDs in comparison with previous TDP studies of human cancer cells. The work revealed significant discrepancies between the two isogenic cell lines regarding proteoform and single amino acid variant (SAAV) profiles. Quantitative data disclosed differentially expressed proteoforms between the two cell lines and their corresponding genes were connected to cancer pathways and networks.
Degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) is demonstrated as an ultrasensitive detection method for the study of neurodegenerative disease-related biomolecules in a capillary electrophoresis system. Nonlinear absorption-based wave mixing offers important advantages including high spatial resolution, small probe volumes down to picoliter, small sample requirements, effective signal collections, and low background noise levels. The laser wave mixing is easily interfaced with microcapillaries for a continuous-flow mode detection and a capillary electrophoresis-mode detection. The optimal conditions for laser wave mixing and capillary electrophoresis is investigated to perform ultrasensitive detection and molecular weight-based separation for proteins. A cost-effective fluorophore is employed to target analytes, bovine serum albumin (BSA), antibody of HIV-1 capsid protein p24, and monoclonal antibody of breast cancer marker CA15-3. Concentration (and mass) detection limits of 1.4 x 10−10 M (1.0 x 10−20 mol), 6.6 x 1010−10 M (5.1 x 10−20 mol), and 6.7 x 10−12 M (5.2 x 10−22 mol) are determined for BSA, p24 antibody, and CA15-3 antibody. For the first time, [alpha]-synuclein is analyzed using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), QSY35 acetic acid succinimidyl ester, and ChromeoTM P503 by wave mixing-based capillary zone electrophoresis and capillary sieving electrophoresis. Detection limits of 1.4 x 10−13 M (1.1 x 10−23 mol), 1.4 x 10−10 M (1.1 x 1010−20 mol), and 3.8 x 10−13 M (3.0 x 10−23 mol) are determined for FITC, QSY35, and ChromeoTM P503-conjugated [alpha]-synuclein. Tetramer [alpha]-synuclein is observed to be the most abundant species in the buffer system in which separation is executed. Native label-free adenosine and dopamine, and chromophore-conjugated glutamate and [gamma]-aminobutyric acid are detected at ultrasensitive concentration levels using wave mixing-based micellar electrokinetic chromatography. Detection limits of 1.0x10−13 M (5.6x10−24 mol corresponds to 4 molecules), 1.2x10−9 M (6.6x10−20 mol), 3.7x10−10 M (2.9x10−20 mol), and 4.1x10−11 M (3.2x10−21 mol) are determined for native label-free adenosine and dopamine, dabsylated glutamate and [gamma]-aminobutyric acid. [Beta]-Amyloid 1-42 and 1-40 peptides are investigated using wave mixing based capillary zone electrophoresis. Detection limits of 8.2 x 10−13 M (6.5 x 10−23 mol) and 1.2 x 10−12 M (9.5 x 10−23 mol) are determined for A[Beta]1-42 and A[Beta]1-40.

Due to the high sensitivity, selectivity, and the possibility for detailed molecular characterisation, mass spectrometry (MS) is the analytical method of choice for top-down protein biomarker discovery. Due to the low sample consumption, high separation efficiency, and the unique and complementary selectivity, capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-MS represents an interesting alternative to the traditionally used liquid chromatography (LC)-MS platforms. In this thesis, instrumental and methodological concepts were developed to increase the potential of CZE-MS for intact proteins. The first part of the thesis describes the development of a nanoflow sheath liquid interface for the efficient coupling of CZE and MS. The interface was developed with a focus on fast setup, easy handling and analytical robustness and has been used for most applications in this thesis. Furthermore, a CZE-MS screening platform for the identification and characterisation of known and unknown Hb variants from DBS samples was developed. The application of SMIL coatings enables efficient separation of closely-related proteoforms and even positional isomers of glycated Hb on the intact level. In the last part of the thesis, nanoLC and CZE-MS were coupled in a heart-cut approach using a polymer nanoliter valve. The platform was used for the glycosylation profiling of heterogeneous alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP). This approach enables the assignment of notably more glycoforms from a lower concentrated AGP sample, compared to CZE-MS alone. In a proof-of-concept study, the platform was further extended to operate in the selective comprehensive mode. With a single injection, 19% more glycoforms were assigned compared to the heart-cut approach with 3 injections. The here presented instrumental and methodological concepts show the great potential of CZE-MS in the context of clinical protein analysis. Especially the combination of LC and CZE in multidimensional separation platforms shows great potential.
