Abstract Six non-glucose polyols--mannose, fructose, 1-deoxyglucose, mannitol, glucitol, and inositol--were identified and evaluated in human serum and cerebrospinal fluid by gas-liquid chromatography and by gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Concentrations of fructose, mannose, and inositol in the serum of healthy persons or children without metabolic diseases varied with age, as already reported for 1-deoxyglucose. Fructose, inositol, and glucitol concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid significantly exceeded those in serum. The method described here for determining polyols and for evaluating polyol patterns in serum, as well as the resulting data on children and healthy subjects, should be useful in investigations of the clinical and physiological significance of polyols.

We recently developed a blood–brain barrier (BBB)-penetrating enzyme transport vehicle (ETV) fused to the lysosomal enzyme iduronate 2-sulfatase (ETV:IDS) and demonstrated its ability to reduce glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation in the brains of a mouse model of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) II. To accurately quantify GAGs, we developed a plate-based high-throughput enzymatic digestion assay coupled with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to simultaneously measure heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate derived disaccharides in tissue, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and individual cell populations isolated from mouse brain. The method offers ultra-high sensitivity enabling quantitation of specific GAG species in as low as 100,000 isolated neurons and a low volume of CSF. With an LOD at 3 ng/mL and LLOQs at 5–10 ng/mL, this method is at least five times more sensitive than previously reported approaches. Our analysis demonstrated that the accumulation of CSF and brain GAGs are in good correlation, supporting the potential use of CSF GAGs as a surrogate biomarker for brain GAGs. The bioanalytical method was qualified through the generation of standard curves in matrix for preclinical studies of CSF, demonstrating the feasibility of this assay for evaluating therapeutic effects of ETV:IDS in future studies and applications in a wide variety of MPS disorders.
