A polymeric, secondary amine stationary phase was used to develop a method for the separation of 2-aminobenzamide (AB)-labeled neutral and anionic oligosaccharides from glycoproteins. Sequential hydrophilic interaction liquid and anion exchange chromatography were performed in the same chromatographic analysis (multimode HPLC) and unambiguous separation between neutral and anionic oligosaccharides was accomplished. Improved resolution was also achieved. The oligomannosidic-type structures from bovine ribonuclease B (Man4GlcNAc-AB-Man9GlcNAc-AB) were separated not only by size, but also by the branch location of terminal Manalpha(1 --> 2)-linked residues. Sialylated lactosamine-type oligosaccharides from human alpha1 acid glycoprotein were resolved according to charge, Fuc content, and the number of Galbeta(1 --> 4)Galbeta(1 --> 3) repeats. The minor fucosylated and polylactosamine species were well separated from the major sialylated tetra-antennary oligosaccharides. Volatile mobile phases were used to minimize sample handling for matrix assisted laser desorption mass spectrometric analysis of peak fractions. Novel polylactosamine structures (3-5 repeats) from alpha1-acid glycoprotein were deduced from the molecular weight analysis. Multimode HPLC should prove useful for preparing low pmol quantities of fluorescently labeled oligosaccharides with fewer steps and minimal sample handling for mass spectrometric analysis, important requisites for structural studies of sample-limited glycoproteins.

Background: Spatial-temporal control of mRNA translation in dendrites is important for synaptic plasticity. In response to pre-synaptic stimuli, local mRNA translation can be rapidly triggered near stimulated synapses to supply the necessary proteins for synapse maturation or elimination, and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) are responsible for proper localization of mRNAs in dendrites. Although is a robust technique for analyzing RNA localization in fixed neurons, live-cell imaging of RNA dynamics remains challenging.

Metal ions, either essential or therapeutic, play critical roles in life processes or in the treatment of diseases. Proteins and enzymes are involved in metal homeostasis and the action of metallodrugs. Imaging and identifying these metal-binding proteins will facilitate the elucidation of metal-mediated life processes.

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) are promising nanomedicine vehicles due to their biocompatibility and ability to carry large cargoes. It is critical in nanomedicine development to be able to map their uptake in cells, including distinguishing surface associated MSNPs from those that are embedded or internalized into cells. Conventional nanoscale imaging techniques, such as electron and fluorescence microscopies, however, generally require the use of stains and labels to image both the biological material and the nanomedicines, which can interfere with the biological processes at play.

Nanoscale surface topography is an effective approach in modulating cell-material interactions, significantly impacting cellular and nuclear morphologies, as well as their functionality. However, the adaptive changes in cellular metabolism induced by the mechanical and geometrical microenvironment of the nanotopography remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the metabolic activities in cells cultured on engineered nanopillar substrates by using a label-free multimodal optical imaging platform.

Zebrafish and medaka are valuable model vertebrates for genetic studies. The advent of CRISPR-Cas9 technology has greatly enhanced our capability to produce specific gene mutants in zebrafish and medaka. Analyzing the phenotypes of these mutants is essential for elucidating gene function, though such analyses often yield unexpected results.
