Summary

A reference measurement procedure for the absolute quantification of Aβ1-42 in human CSF based on solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry is described.

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease among the elderly and accounts for 60-80% of all cases of dementia. Currently, the diagnosis of AD is based on cognitive tests and mental state exams, but the peptide amyloid-beta (Aβ) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is increasingly used in clinical trials and settings. As for most protein and peptide biomarkers, quantification is performed using antibody-based techniques, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). However, intra- and inter-laboratory variability in these assays hamper its use as a diagnostic marker in clinical routine.

An antibody-independent Reference Measurement Procedure (RMP) was developed based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), where stable, isotope-labeled Aβ peptides were used as internal standards, enabling absolute quantification. A high-resolution quadrupole-orbitrap hybrid instrument was used for the measurements. The method allows for the quantification of CSF Aβ1-42 between 150-4,000 pg/mL.

Introduction

阿尔茨海默氏病(AD)是老年痴呆症的最常见的形式,影响全球100约35万人。疾病广泛认为在躺在床上的AD发病的芯的神经病学特征是tau蛋白的蛋白2的细胞内神经原纤维缠结和细胞外斑块由聚集的淀粉样-β(Aβ)肽3。本着这一精神,体内斑块病理的生物标志物评估最近已包含在公元4研究的诊断标准。对于Aβ1-42的CSF测量,几个免疫测定可以使用,在许多临床实验室5被使用。 的Aβ1-42的CSF中的浓度是在AD患者比在认知正常老年人下大约50%,这反映了肽在斑中的BR的沉积AIN 6,7。

这些生物标志物重点分析使用免疫( 即,基于抗体的技术),但这些试验可以由基体效应8的影响。使用不同技术平台的免疫测定和缺乏测定标准化9,10,使引入全球截止浓度难以11,12。一种分析验证RMP将允许不同的检测平台统一校准,最好导致跨平台的分析比较好和更好的控制有助于整体测量变异的因素。

使用开发的LC-MS / MS方法的Aβ1-42的绝对定量克服了与基于抗体的TECHN有关的问题iques。该方法被列为联合委员会溯源实验室医学(JCTLM数据库标识号C11RMP9),一个RMP将被用来确定一个标准物质(CRM)Aβ1-42的绝对浓度协调CSFAβ1跨越技术和分析平台-42测量。所描述的工作流程应该是相关的用于医学的其他领域内的肽和蛋白质候选参考方法的发展。

Protocol

注:此协议需要至少50微升的等分试样,对每个Aβ肽50微克/ mL的浓度,作为原料。 Aβ的肽应溶于20%乙腈(ACN)和4%浓氨溶液在去离子水(v / v)中并储存在80℃。 注意:请参阅表1的安全信息。 1.溶液的制备通过稀释20毫升乙腈和4毫升浓氨水(〜25%)在去离子水中制备100毫升20%的ACN和4%的在去离子水(v / v)的浓氨溶液。调节最终…

Representative Results

图1中的板设置用于样品的完整板。如果较少的未知样本进行分析,所述第二校准器,RF和QC套应置于未知样品的前半部分后。 如在图2中看到的那样,校准接近回归线,具有低标准偏差。这种方法具有150皮克/毫升和4000皮克/毫升的量化的上层的定量的较低水平。当然校准的剩余标准偏差应尽可能低。如…

Discussion

对于所描述的方法,而不是使用一个代理矩阵,我们使用了替代的分析物的方法13,14,15,16,它使校正在人CSF。代孕的方式分析涉及到两个不同的同位素标记的标准。酮(15NAβ142)被用来产生于人类CSF中的校准曲线,而另一个(13CAβ142)用作内标。然后未知的内源性…
