Article Abstract

Background: The limits of chromatographic speed and mechanical frontend capabilities have been reached for many high-volume liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) tests, curtailing the maximal achievable sample throughput. To overcome these boundaries, we developed and validated a derivatization-based sample-multiplex LC-MS/MS assay for detection of 25-hydroxyvitamins D2 and D3 [25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3], which increased sample throughput 5-fold.

Methods: After separate derivatization with 1 of 5 different triazoline-diones (TADs), 5 calibrators, controls, or patient specimens were combined and injected together into an LC-MS/MS. On the basis of mass differences between TADs, the MS/MS quantified analyte and stable isotope internal standards for 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 for each respective multiplexed sample within the injection. Limits of detection and quantification, spiked recovery, linearity, imprecision, and patient results were determined and compared against our standard LC-MS/MS assay.

Results: TAD multiplexing increased throughput on an LC-quadruplexed LC-MS/MS system from 60 samples/h to 300 samples/h. Limits of detection and quantification were 4.9 nmol/L [2 μg/L, 25(OH)D2], 2.2 nmol/L [0.9 μg/L, 25(OH)D3], and 10 nmol/L [4 μg/L, 25(OH)D2], 5 nmol/L [2 μg/L, 25(OH)D3], respectively. The assay was linear to 250 nmol/L (100 μg/L). Interassay CVs across the reportable range were 3.7%-15.2%. Spiked recoveries were 94%-119%. The method comparison with the standard LC-MS/MS method showed slopes of 0.96 and 0.97 (Deming regression) for 25(OH)D2 (n=1733) and 25(OH)D3 (n=7614) (R2=0.96 and 0.97), respectively.

Conclusions: Multiplexing samples by differential mass tagging in LC-MS/MS measurement of 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 allows for reliable quantification, with throughput increased over standard methods by the multiplexing factor.

A new microfluidic approach using hybrid magnetoliposomes (h-MLs) containing hydrophobic magnetic nanoparticles (FeO@AuNPs-C12SH) and encapsulated -acetylcysteine has been developed in this research to determine aminoglycoside antibiotic (AAG) residues in food using -phthalaldehyde. Four AAGs, kanamycin, streptomycin, gentamicin, and neomycin, have been used as model analytes. The h-MLs have been used for reagent preconcentration and were retained using an external electromagnet device in the reaction/detection zone in a microfluidic system, inserted into the sample chamber of a conventional fluorimeter.

To analyze whether heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) be involved in a permanently abnormal activated JAK/STAT signaling in ATL cells in vitro. The effect of 17-AAG on proliferation of ATL cell lines HUT-102 was assessed using CCK8 at different time points. Cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how combining inhibitors of mTORC2 and HSP90 affects the growth and death of multiple myeloma (MM) cells using the U266 cell line.
  • Treatment with rapamycin and 17-AAG showed that both drugs could slow down cell growth, with their combined use being more effective than each one alone or a control group.
  • The findings indicate that the combination therapy not only enhances apoptosis (cell death) but also alters key protein levels, suggesting a promising strategy for treating multiple myeloma.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore how the HSP90 inhibitor 17-AAG affects the growth of multiple myeloma cells (U266) and its underlying mechanisms.
  • Researchers treated U266 cells with various concentrations of 17-AAG over different time periods, measuring cell growth and the levels of specific proteins involved in cell proliferation.
  • Results showed that higher concentrations of 17-AAG significantly reduced cell growth and down-regulated key proteins (β-catenin and C-MYC), indicating that 17-AAG inhibits cell proliferation primarily through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and the inhibition of HSP90 expression.

Purpose: Despite recent improvements in therapeutic management of osteosarcoma, ongoing challenges in improving the response to chemotherapy warrants the development of new strategies to improve overall patient survival. Among them, HSP90 is a molecular chaperone involved in the maturation and stability of various oncogenic proteins leading to tumor cells survival and disease progression. We assessed the antitumor properties of a synthetic HSP90 inhibitor, PF4942847, alone or in combination with zoledronic acid in osteosarcoma.
