  • Unlabeled proteins were fully digested and separated using low-speed HPLC, with mass spectra collected every second and visually represented in a two-dimensional format.
  • The platform demonstrated high comprehensiveness, reproducibility, and accurate quantification, making it suitable for diverse experimental and translational proteomics applications.

Article Abstract

We developed an integrated platform consisting of machinery and software modules that can apply vast amounts of data generated by nanoflow LC-MS to differential protein expression analyses. Unlabeled protein samples were completely digested with modified trypsin and separated by low speed (200 nl/min) one-dimensional HPLC. Mass spectra were obtained every 1 s by using the survey mode of a hybrid Q-TOF mass spectrometer and displayed in a two-dimensional plane with m/z values along the x axis, and retention time was displayed along the y axis. The time jitter of nano-LC was adjusted using newly developed software based on a dynamic programming algorithm. The comprehensiveness (60,000-160,000 peaks above the predetermined threshold detectable in 60-microg cell protein samples), reproducibility (average coefficient of variance of 0.35-0.39 and correlation coefficient of over 0.92 between duplicates), and accurate quantification with a wide dynamic range (over 10(3)) of our platform warrant its application to various types of experimental and translational proteomics.

Article Synopsis
  • Optoelectrowetting technology allows for the manipulation of droplets by creating virtual electrodes, avoiding complicated physical circuitry in droplet control systems.
  • Current limitations include the need for manual droplet positioning and lack of real-time feedback, which can lead to mismanagement and contamination of droplets.
  • The paper introduces an intelligent control system that integrates optoelectrowetting with deep learning for real-time detection and automatic movement control of droplets, improving flexibility and accuracy in experiments, especially in biomedicine.

In recent years, nanoflow sheath liquid (nanoSL) interfaces have been used more commonly for capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) coupling due to their high sensitivity combined with flexibility in CE separation conditions. So far, the exact amount of sheath liquid (SL) and, thus, the dilution effect remain unknown due to the self-supplying type of the nanoSL interfaces. To quantify the SL flow rates, we present here an approach for the determination of the flow rate based on isotopically labeled standards using the nanoCEasy interface.

Methane Adsorption and Transport in Tortuous Slit-like Nanochannels: A Molecular Simulation Study.

ACS Omega

October 2024

College of Science, Guizhou Institute of Technology, Boshi Road, Dangwu Town, Gui'an New District, Guizhou 550025, China.

Tortuosity is a crucial characteristic of porous materials, such as the shale matrix where shale gas is stored. The presence of tortuous nanochannels significantly affects the adsorption and transport of nanoflows. In this research, we use molecular dynamics simulation (MD) to study the adsorption and transport properties of shale gas (methane) in a curved slit-like nanochannel constructed from bent graphene sheets.

Article Synopsis
  • Circulating RNAs, especially in extracellular vesicles (EVs) and non-EV carriers, have been studied for over two decades, but there's a lot of variability in results from samples, prompting a need for better standardization in how samples are collected and prepared.
  • The study focuses on how different anticoagulants (ACs) affect the size, abundance, antigen makeup of circulating EVs, and specific circulating miRNA levels, which are important for disease detection in cancers and Alzheimer's disease.
  • Findings indicate that while the number and size of plasma EVs vary with each AC, the overall antigenic composition remains mostly consistent; however, using EDTA as an AC was more effective for general miRNA levels, while

Liquid Biopsy in Lung Cancer: Nano-Flow Cytometry Detection of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Blood.

Lab Invest

December 2024

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of global mortality, with current screening and diagnostic methods often lacking in sensitivity and specificity. In our endeavor to develop precise, objective, and easily accessible diagnostic biomarkers for NSCLC, this study aimed to leverage rapidly evolving liquid biopsy techniques in the field of pathology to differentiate NSCLC patients from healthy controls by isolating peripheral blood samples and enriching extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing lung-derived proteins (thyroid transcription factor-1 [TTF-1] and surfactant protein B [SFTPB]), along with the cancer-associated protein CD151 EVs. Additionally, for practical applications, we established a nano-flow cytometry assay to detect plasma EVs readily.
