Monosaccharide Composition Analysis

Abstract This protocol describes the procedures where a PCR instrument-assisted acidolysis is used for releasing monosaccharides from serum glycans. The monosaccharide composition analysis is subsequently obtained by a HPLC method that separates and quantifies all 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP)-labeled monosaccharides in 10 μl serum in 20 minutes. The rapid heating, precise temperature control, and gradient heating properties of PCR instrument provides with consistent acidolysis and derivatization conditions for up to 96 samples simultaneously. The described workflow takes approximately 4–5 h, up to 72 serum samples can be analyzed with one HPLC instrument per day.

ABSTRACT Neisserial lipooligosaccharides (LOSs) are a family of complex cell surface glycolipids. We used mass spectrometry techniques (electrospray ionization, collision-induced dissociation, and multiple step), combined with fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis monosaccharide composition analysis, to determine the structure of the two low-molecular-mass LOS molecules (LOSI and LOSII) expressed byNeisseria subflava 44. We determined that LOSI contains one glucose on both the α and β chains. LOSII is structurally related to LOSI and differs from it by the addition of a hexose (either glucose or galactose) on the α chain. LOSI and LOSII were able to bind monoclonal antibody (MAb) 25-1-LC1 when analyzed by Western blotting experiments. We used a set of genetically defined Neisseria gonorrhoeae mutants that expressed single defined LOS epitopes and a group of Neisseria meningitidis strains that expresses chemically defined LOS components to determine the structures recognized by MAb 25-1-LC1. We found that extensions onto the β-chain glucose of LOSI block the recognition by this MAb, as does further elongation from the LOSII α chain. The LOSI structure was determined to be the minimum structure that is recognized by MAb 25-1-LC1.

Monosaccharide Composition Analysis

Lycopi Herba has been broadly used as a traditional medicinal herb in Asia due to its ability to strengthen immunity. However, it is still obscure for its material basis and underlying mechanisms. Polysaccharide, as one of the most important components of most natural herbs, usually contributes to the immunomodulatory ability of herbs. Here, we aimed to detect polysaccharides from Lycopi Herba and examine their potential immunomodulatory activity. A novel polysaccharide (LHPW) was extracted from Lycopi Herba and purified by DEAE-52 cellulose chromatography and G-100 sephadex. According to physicochemical methods and monosaccharide composition analysis, LHPW was mainly composed of galactose, glucose, fructose, and arabinose. NMR and methylation analyses indicated that LHPW was a neutral polysaccharide with a backbone containing →3,6)-β-D-Galp-(1→, →4)-β-D-Galp-(1→ and →4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→, with the branches of →1)-β-D-Fruf-(2→ and →6)-α-D-Galp-(1→. Immunological tests indicated that LHPW could activate macrophage RAW264.7 and promote splenocyte proliferation. This study discovered a novel polysaccharide from Lycopi Herba and showed it was a potential immunomodulator.

Abstract This protocol describes the procedures where our published microwave instrument-assisted acid hydrolysis (MAAH) coupled HPAEC-PAD analysis are optimized for glycan monosaccharide composition analysis of serum/plasma samples. The optimized acid hydrolysis of serum/plasma samples takes only 10 min and 10 μl of acid and 2 μl serum/plasma samples. The monosaccharide composition analysis is subsequently accomplished by HPAEC-PAD analysis. Each step of the experimental procedures has been optimized with repeated tests of monosaccharide standards and serum samples. The described workflow takes approximately 70-90 min, up to 48 serum/plasma samples can be analyzed with one HPAEC-PAD instrument per day.
