We developed a new method for MALDI-TOF MS detection of N-glycans derived from human serum. The synergistic combination of microwave-assisted Girard T derivatization, solid-phase extraction desalting, and an ionic liquid matrix (2, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid/aniline) (GT-SPE-DHB/An) allowed of more sensitive N-glycans detection than a conventional ionic liquid matrix in MALDI-TOF MS. The superior sensitivity of our method was confirmed by the number of assigned N-glycans in 900–2,000 m/z range. Using our GT-SPE-DHB/An method, we were successfully able to assign 31 glycans. However, with the established method, i.e., DHB/An method, only 15 glycans were assigned. To the best of our knowledge, this GT-SPE-DHB/An method is the first to combine cationic derivatization of N-glycan and ionic liquid matrix for N-glycan analysis in MALDI-TOF MS.

Improvement in high-throughput MALDI-TOF MS analysis requires practical and efficient sample preparation protocols for high acquisition rates. The use of hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS) sorbents in combination with MALDI-TOF MS was explored as a versatile tool for peptidomic profiling of clinical specimens difficult to process, but considered important sources of disease biomarkers: synovial fluid and sputum. A rapid and efficient procedure, based on dispersive solid-phase extraction of peptides using commercially available wormhole mesostructured HMS, was tested for: a) pre-concentration of standard peptides in serially diluted solution up to the sub-nanomolar range; b) peptidome profiling of sputum and synovial fluid. The use of HMS, as dispersed sponges, significantly amplified the peptidic repertoire of sputum and synovial fluid by excluding from the adsorptive process large size proteins, which mask and/or suppress peptidome signals. The protocol proposed, as dispersive solid phase extraction, ensures good analytical performances. Moreover, it is economical and rapid, as it avoids the use of less reproducible and prolonged sample preparation procedures, such as the use of ultrafiltration filter devices. These findings may contribute to defining a high-throughput screening MS-based platform for monitoring key peptidic features of difficult to analyse bodily fluids in a clinical setting.

Mass spectrometry-based analyses are essential tools in the field of biomarker research. However, detection and characterization of plasma low abundance and/or low molecular weight peptides is challenged by the presence of highly abundant proteins, salts and lipids. Numerous strategies have already been tested to reduce the complexity of plasma samples. The aim of this study was to enrich the low molecular weight fraction of rat plasma. To this end, we developed and compared simple protocols based on membrane filtration, solid phase extraction, and a combination of both. As assessed by UV absorbance, an albumin depletion >99% was obtained. The multistep fractionation strategy (including reverse phase HPLC) allowed detection, in a reproducible manner (CV < 30%-35%), of more than 450 peaks below 3000 Da by MALDI-TOF/MS. A MALDI-TOF/MS-determined LOD as low as 1 fmol/μL was obtained, thus allowing nanoLC-Chip/MS/MS identification of spiked peptides representing ~10–6% of total proteins, by weight. Signal peptide recovery ranged between 5%-100% according to the spiked peptide considered. Tens of peptide sequence tags from endogenous plasma peptides were also obtained and high confidence identifications of low abundance fibrinopeptide A and B are reported here to show the efficiency of the protocol. It is concluded that the fractionation protocol presented would be of particular interest for future differential (high throughput) analyses of the plasma low molecular weight fraction.

The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of identification of Bacteroides fragilis group (BFG) strains isolated from human and rat feces, hospital wastewater, and untreated and treated sewage from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). BFG strains were plated on Bacteroides Bile Esculin (BBE) agar. Characteristic colonies were isolated from the culture medium, tested for antibiotic resistance and identified by PCR and MALDI-TOF MS. A total of 319 strains that formed characteristic colonies were isolated from BBE agar, of which 250 were resistant to kanamycin, colistin and vancomycin. PCR revealed that only 135 strains harbored the bfr gene specific to the BFG. In MALDI-TOF MS analysis, only 123 isolates were classified as members of the BFG. The most frequently isolated species was Parabacteroides distasonis (51.22% of strains). B. fragilis, B. ovatus and B. thetaiotaomicron were less frequently encountered in the analyzed environmental samples (30.01%, 8.13% and 5.69%, respectively). The strains isolated from human and rat feces on BBE agar were most reliably identified, and 100% of the isolated strains were classified as members of the BFG. The effectiveness of isolation of BFG strains from hospital wastewater and untreated and treated sewage from the WWTP was relatively low (20%, 19%, 40%, respectively). The results of this study suggest that the method for isolating BFG strains from environmental samples on BBE agar requires modification. Additional methods, such as PCR and MALDI-TOF MS, can be used to more effectively identify BFG strains isolated from different environmental samples.
