Description

≪ Desc / Clms Page number 1 > Method for Diagnosis of Amyloid Proteins Using Quantitative Analysis based Mass Spectrometry [

The present invention relates to a standard peptide for quantitative analysis of amyloid protein subtypes, a synthetic standard peptide for the detection of subtypes of amyloid proteins, and a method for diagnosing the subtypes of amyloid proteins using the same.

Amyloidosis is a disorder in which a protein mass called insoluble amyloid is formed in the process of protein formation and the formed amyloid component is deposited in the body organs and tissues. As a result, it is known as a disease which deteriorates the function of the organ and eventually loses its function.

Amyloidosis is classified according to the cause and the type of protein deposited. It is largely divided into primary amyloidosis, secondary amyloidosis and hereditary amyloidosis. Primary amyloidosis (AL) is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis. It is caused by immunoglobulin light chain (AL), which is abnormally made in the bone marrow. Abnormal antibody proteins made in plasma cells are found in various organs (heart, And autonomic nervous system, liver, soft tissue, etc.) and causing the organ dysfunction is the main etiology. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, often accompanied by multiple myeloma and, in severe cases, death.

The incidence of secondary amyloidosis (AA type) is less than 5% and is secondary to chronic infectious diseases. In the case of chronic inflammation such as tuberculosis, chronic osteomyelitis or rheumatoid arthritis, the protein called SAA (Serum Amyloid A) is increased in our body and this protein forms amyloid fiber and settle in organs. It mainly involves the kidneys, but it also deposits in the gastrointestinal tract, liver and heart as the disease progresses. Because the major organ involvement is kidney involvement, proteinuria, edema, weight loss, and fatigue are the main symptoms and are not associated with multiple myeloma. Typically, a high incidence of the disease is particularly high in rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, chronic juvenile arthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and pyelonephritis. . Hereditary amyloidosis is very rare, and gene abnormalities in TTR (Transthyretin) proteins are known to be the most common cause. In the liver, a mutated TTR protein is synthesized, deposited in the heart, and inherited as autosomal dominant. If the parent is a patient, the child is inherited at a 50% probability, so gene screening of the patient's family is necessary. 20 to 40 generations occur, but the progression of the disease is slow, arrhythmia is common, and orthostatic hypotension develops in the nervous system. Other genes, such as ApoA protein, fibrinogen, and lysozyme, may also be caused by abnormal genes. As other subtypes, senile amyloidosis is a type of TTR protein, which is a type of protein such as heredity / familial amyloidosis, which is deposited in the tissue, but unlike genetic amyloidosis, a normal TTR protein is formed in the heart, not a mutant TTR protein. Arrhythmias are commonly associated, but the prognosis of the disease is relatively good.

Thus, the precise diagnosis of amyloid subtype is very important because the prognosis and treatment direction of the disease is determined according to the subtype of amyloid protein. Up to this point, the diagnosis of amyloid deposits through histological examination using a family history, muscle, bone, and adipose tissue, and immunohistochemistry of the patient to diagnose the subtype. However, immunohistochemical analysis suggests low specificity and low sensitivity due to the loss of the epitope reacting with the antibody in the preparation of the amyloid tissue in the subtype diagnosis. Due to these problems, a method for diagnosing amyloid protein subtypes based on mass spectrometry has recently been introduced. The mass spectrometry based amyloid subtype detection method is a method of isolating amyloid protein deposits deposited in organs using Laser Captured Microdissection (LCM) and identifying the proteins by mass spectrometry. Although the specificity of the diagnosis is high, it may cause diagnosis errors due to blood proteins in the analysis process, and it requires a high-performance equipment for clinical application and requires a well-educated expert. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for determining the concentration of the representative four subtypes of proteins using multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry based on mass spectrometry, which is relatively easy to apply in clinical applications with high sensitivity and measurement limit, The aim of this study was to develop a method for detecting subtypes of amyloid by relative ratio analysis.

The present inventors have made extensive efforts to develop an accurate diagnostic method for amyloid subtypes that have important effects on the prognosis and treatment direction of amyloidosis. As a result, using the standard peptide for quantitative analysis of amyloid protein subtypes of SEQ ID NOS: 5 to 12 obtained by hydrolyzing amyloid protein, it was confirmed that four representative types of amyloid subtypes can be diagnosed quickly and accurately Thereby completing the present invention.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a standard peptide for the quantitative analysis of subtypes of amyloid proteins.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a synthetic standard peptide for the subtype diagnosis of amyloid protein.

It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method for diagnosing an amyloid subtype.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the invention and claims.

According to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a standard peptide for quantitative analysis of amyloid subtypes obtained by hydrolyzing amyloid protein having any one of the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 4 do.

The present inventors have intensively studied to develop an accurate diagnostic method for amyloid subtypes that have important effects on the prognosis and treatment direction of amyloidopathy. As a result, the present inventors have found that the amyloid- 12 subtype of amyloid protein subtype, the present inventors have found that four types of amyloid subtypes can be rapidly and accurately diagnosed using the standard peptide for quantitative analysis of the subtype of amyloid protein.

The standard peptide for quantitative analysis of the amyloid subtypes of the present invention has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID No. 5 to SEQ ID No. 12. The standard peptides are selected from peptides having a high ionization efficiency and high extraction efficiency from peptides obtained by hydrolyzing amyloid subtype proteins having amino acid sequences of Sequence Listing 1 or Sequence Listing 4.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a synthetic standard peptide for amyloid subtype diagnosis comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID No. 5 to SEQ ID No. 12.

The synthetic standard peptide for amyloid subtype diagnosis of the present invention is produced by hydrolysis of four typical amyloid subtypes and is labeled with a fluorescent substance, a pigment, a radioactive isotope or a mixture thereof.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the synthetic standard peptide for amyloid subtype diagnosis of the present invention is labeled with a radioactive isotope.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the synthetic standard peptide for amyloid subtype diagnosis of the present invention is labeled with a radioisotope 13 C or 15 N.

The labeling can be performed by adding an amino acid having a stable isotope in the course of peptide synthesis, or by labeling a functional group having a stable isotope at a specific amino acid after synthesis. In the present invention, since the radioactive isotope is used to distinguish the wild type peptide from the wild type peptide by binding to the wild type peptide by binding to the standard peptide, the radioactive isotope does not need to be included in the standard peptide and is included in a form bound to the OH end of the standard peptide It is possible.

As used herein, the term " wild-type peptide " refers to an amyloid peptide already present in a hydrolyzed sample of a subject. In the present invention, the concept is used in contrast with a standard peptide labeled or substituted with a radioisotope that is further added to the hydrolyzed sample.

As used herein, the term " diagnosis " means to determine whether an amyloid protein is present in a sample or to classify the type of amyloid protein subtypes present in the sample.

According to the present invention, four kinds of amyloid proteins are hydrolyzed with trypsin to obtain peptides for the four amyloid proteins, and then the MRM transition composition for a tryptic peptide consisting of more than 5 and less than 25 amino acids The peptide MRM transitions with high sensitivity and sensitivity to noise and signal ratio (S / N) of 8 or more were selected from all the peptide peaks and then the S / N ratio And the number of MRM transitions satisfying all of the ratio 8 or more and RT +/- 0.2 was more than 3 per the same peptide was selected as a peptide to be quantitated by MRM. The selected peptides were present specifically in the amyloid subtype and showed the highest signal peaks in the MRM scan (see Table 2).

The synthetic standard peptide for amyloid subtype diagnosis can be used as a peptide for SID-MRM-MS capable of rapidly analyzing four representative amyloid proteins.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an amyloid subtype diagnostic kit comprising the synthetic standard peptide for amyloid subtype diagnosis.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method of diagnosing an amyloid subtype comprising the steps of:

(a) hydrolyzing a sample separated from a subject;

(b) adding the synthetic standard peptide to the hydrolyzed sample;

(c) quantitatively analyzing the peptide of wild-type amyloid subtype protein and the synthetic standard peptide from the sample of step (b); And

(d) determining the amyloid subtype by analyzing the quantitative analysis result.

According to the present invention, in order to measure the classification and concentration of amyloid subtypes, a sample is hydrolyzed, and a labeled synthetic standard peptide is added, followed by desalting and mass analysis.

In the present invention, the "sample" is a tissue, cell, blood or the like capable of detecting an amyloid peptide, and preferably includes tissues, blood, plasma, serum, secretions, and the like. When the amyloid tissue is used as the sample, the tissue is separated using Laser Captured Microdissection (LCM), and congo red is stained to separate the amyloid-deposited portion, and proteolytic enzyme (for example, Trypsin).

The hydrolysis may be performed using any protease capable of recognizing a cleavage site in a protein contained in a sample and degrading the peptide to a peptide level. Preferably, trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin, thermolysin, And according to one embodiment of the present invention, trypsin is used.

The quantitative analysis of step (c) can be performed by, but not limited to, quantitative analysis using SID-MRM-MS (stable isotope dilution-multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry) and LC / MS mass spectrometry .

The term " stable isotope dilution-multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (SID-MRM-MS) " of the present invention means that the expression level of the correct protein or modified protein is determined from all biological components including blood and tissues Means a mass spectrometry based quantitative method for direct quantification. The SID-MRM-MS is based on two principles, one is a stable radioisotope dilution theory and the other is the use of a synthetic peptide containing a stable radioisotope to mimic a natural counterpart after proteolysis. The peptides are synthesized by modification methods such as phosphorylation, methylation and acetylation, which allow direct quantitative analysis of the mutated proteins after decoding.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, in order to quantify the amyloid subtype protein in the sample, the mass (precursor ion m / z) of the peptide obtained by hydrolyzing the amyloid protein in the sample with trypsin is measured by MS1 spectrum, (Product ion m / z) is measured by MS2 spectrum. The transition of the MS1 precursor ion m / z and MS2 product ion m / z is specified. The transition for each protein is input to the mass spectrometer, and the concentration of the corresponding protein is set to absolute Quantitative analysis. At this time, standard synthetic peptide labeled with radioactive isotope is added to the sample as an internal control, so that absolute quantitative analysis is possible and sensitivity analysis of ng / ml concentration is possible.

Quantitative analysis is performed to compare the amounts of wild type amyloid peptide and synthetic standard peptide in the sample to determine the absolute value of the amount of wild type amyloid peptide, and the value is compared and analyzed to diagnose the amyloid subtype.

As a result of the quantitative analysis by the above method, the concentration difference of the amyloid subtype peptide was measured in the individual having the amyloid protein by the analysis using the standard peptide. Thus, the method of the present invention can be useful for the diagnosis of the amyloid subtype Respectively.

Example

Example 1: Selection of Peptide and MRM (Multiple Reaction Monitoring) Methods of Amyloid Proteins in Amyloid Deposits

The target peptide for SID-MRM-MS analysis was selected by virtually (In-silico) trypsin treatment of four amino acids of amyloid protein using MRM Pilot (ABSciex, Framingham, USA). Each 1 μg of the recombinant protein corresponding to the above four proteins (Table 1) was treated with trypsin and fragmented into peptides.

Figure 112014066875124-pat00001

Among the peptide fragments, the best ionized and highly efficient peptides in LC-MS / MS systems were selected. For this purpose, up to five MRM transition compositions for tryptic peptides composed of more than 5 and less than 25 amino acids were predicted by in-silico method. At this time, the MRM transition for the final MRM quantitative analysis was selected as follows. First, both the noise and signal ratio (S / N) of all the peptide peaks detected in the MRM mode were determined, and the peptide MRM transitions with an S / N ratio of 8 or higher were selected. Second, the retention time (RT) of the selected peptide peaks was extracted and excluded if the retention time deviates from the range of ± 0.2 minutes for the MRM transition of the same peptide. Third, when the number of MRM transitions satisfying all of the S / N ratio 8 or more and RT ± 0.2 was more than 3 per the same peptide, the peptide was selected as the peptide to be analyzed by MRM. In order to determine the top three selected transitions as final MRM transitions, the optimal Q1 / Q3 value was determined by MS / MS scanning of peptides formed from recombinant proteins of four amyloid proteins and optimized for SID-MRM-MS system Parameters were determined (Figures 2, 3, and Table 2).

Example 2: Isolation of blood trypsin for SID-MRM-MS analysis

89 μl of 50 mM ABC (Ammonium bicarbonate) buffer was added to 1 μl of a serum (or plasma) sample of amyloidosis patients (corresponding to about 50-80 μg of protein), and the mixture was mixed with 50 mM DTT dithiothreitol) solution was added thereto, followed by reaction at 56 ° C for 30 minutes and cooling to room temperature. Then, 7.5 μl of 2 M IAA (iodoacetamide) was added and reacted for 20 minutes under dark conditions. 10 μl of trypsin solution (0.1 μg / μl in 50 mM ABC buffer) was added to the reaction solution, followed by reaction at 37 ° C for 12 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction product was applied to a vacuum concentrator (SpeedDry Vacuum Concentrator) and dried.

Example 3: Trypsin degradation process of amyloid tissue for SID-MRM-MS analysis

As shown in FIG. 1, RapiGest (waters) was added to 50 mM ABC buffer in a final 0.1% concentration in amyloid tissue (1.5 x 10 5 μm 2 ) obtained through laser microdissection (LCM) Deg.] C and reacted at 99 [deg.] C for 5 minutes. DTT solution was added to the reaction mixture to a final concentration of 5 mM, reacted at 56 ° C for 30 minutes, and then cooled at room temperature. Then, IAA was added to 200 mM and reacted for 30 minutes under dark conditions. Finally, 2.5 μg of trypsin solution was added to the reaction solution, followed by reaction at 37 ° C for 12 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction product was applied to a vacuum concentrator (SpeedDry Vacuum Concentrator) and dried.

Example 4: Addition and decalcification of peptide internal standards

(Table 3) corresponding to the 26 peptides shown in Table 2 were dissolved in distilled water (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) at a concentration of 100 fmol / μl or 200 fmol / μl, respectively, 8 [mu] L of trypsin lysate (tissue or blood trypsin lysate) was added and redissolved. In this case, the internal standard (IS) is a compound known to be added to the sample or sample extract immediately before analyzing the sample. It has similar chromatographic characteristics, that is, retention time, And relative response, and refers to a substance used to check the amount of analyte present in each sample. In addition, the internal standard material is a synthetic peptide having the same sequence as the selected peptide in Table 2, but some amino acids are substituted with isotopes.

For the synthesis of the peptide used as the internal standard for the absolute quantification of the selected peptides, the position of the label portion (*) and the labeled radioisotope (15N, 13C) were determined as shown in Table 3 below.

The redissolved reagents were desalted by applying to a decontamination apparatus (OMIX Tips for peptide and protein desalting / concentrating 5-100 [mu] L size, C18, Agilent, Santa Clara, USA). Specifically, the OMIX tip was soaked twice with 100% ACN (0.1% TFA) buffer, washed with 75% ACN (0.1% TFA) buffer and then 10 times with distilled water (0.1% TFA). The re-dissolved reactant was added to the water-treated OMIX tip, the reaction was loaded upside down for 20 times, and washed three times with distilled water (0.1% TFA). Next, 50 μl of 75% ACN (0.1% TFA) buffer was added to the OMIX tip on which the sample was loaded, and the peptide fraction contained in the reaction product was eluted by inverting the sample 20 times.

This step is carried out to remove the synthetic peptides substituted with the target peptide and the corresponding isotope, ie, the internal standard material and the salt components added to the sample pretreatment (disturbing mass spectrometry).

Example 5: SID-MRM-MS (stable isotope dilution-multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry) method of four kinds of amyloid proteins

In Example 4, the peptide extract obtained through decontamination using an Eksigent 1D-plus nanoflow liquid chromatography system was dissolved in 8 μl of distilled water (0.1% formic acid), and 3 μl of the extract was transferred to a trapping column (200 μm x (0.1% formic acid) until it was eluted with an analytical column (75 μm × 150 mm, chromogenic C18-CL 3 μm particles 120 Å pores, exigent) At a flow rate of 2 μl / min for 10 minutes, and the process of attaching the peptide to the column was carried out. At this time, the elution conditions were as shown in Table 4, and 3% -55% ACN (0.1% formic acid) was added stepwise at a flow rate of 0.3 l / min to elute the peptide.

The peptide eluate was analyzed by MR-mode of ABSciex Q-TRAP 5500. The MRM analysis conditions are as follows; ion spray voltages, 2,200-2,500 V; curtain gas, 20; spray gas, 20; collision gas, high; declustering potential (DP), 100 V; Mass resolution, unit; quadrupole resolution, low.

For the diagnosis of amyloid subtype, MRM quantification information of four representative peptides corresponding to each amyloid subtype protein was used. For the quantitative analysis of MRM of each peptide, one of the three types of MRM transitions was used to acquire the quantitative value of the target protein with excellent sensitivity and RT reproducibility. The other two transitions were used for peptide verification Respectively.

The peak area of the transition corresponding to each peptide was determined using MultiQuant (ABSciex, Framingham, USA). At this time, the measured parameter values were as follows. smoothing width, 2 points; Min.Peak Width, 3 points; Noise Percentage, 40%; baseline Sub.Window, 2 min; Peak Splitting Factor, 2 points.

To obtain quantitative information on each peptide, an internal standard (IS) corresponding to each peptide was injected together. At this time, the concentration of the internal reference material was 100 fmol / μL, and the peak area of the corresponding 100 fmol / μL IS was extracted by applying the above parameter values. The concentration of each amyloid subtype was calculated by extracting the peak area of the selected final peptide transition under the same conditions, dividing by the peak area of IS, and multiplying by the IS concentration value of 100 fmol / μL.

Example 6 Determination of Amyloid Subtype Diagnosis Method

For clinical verification of the invention described above, a clinical sample was injected into an LC-MS / MS system via the trypsin degradation process of the amyloid tissue of Example 3 and the addition and decontamination of the peptide internal standard material of Example 4, The concentration of the four representative amyloid subtypes in the clinical sample was calculated by SID-MRM-MS (stable isotope dilution-multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry) At this time, verification of clinical specimens was performed using non-standard mass analysis based on mass analysis and Immunohistochemistry which are used in existing subtype analysis method.

Specifically, the concentrations of SAA subtypes were calculated by quantitative analysis of SFFSFLGEAFDGAR (SEQ ID NO: 5) and GPGGVWAAEAISDAR (SEQ ID NO: 6), TVAAPSVFIFPPSDEQLK (SEQ ID NO: 7), DSTYSLSSTLTLSK (SEQ ID NO: , And the concentration of TTR subtypes was calculated by quantifying GSPAINVAVHVFR (SEQ ID No. 9) and AADDTWEPFASGK (SEQ ID No. 10). And, AAPSVTLFPPSSEELQANK (SEQ ID No. 11) and YAASSYLSLTPEQWK (SEQ ID No. 12) were used for the diagnosis of IGL subtype. More specifically, ions having high detection specificity were determined based on MS / MS scans (FIG. 2) of 8 kinds of peptides (FIG. 3). The determined ions were applied to the SID-MRM-MS system to determine the concentration of the selected protein. Based on the concentration obtained from the target quantification of the above four kinds of amyloid proteins, the protein having the highest expression amount was determined. At this time, the concentration of the determined protein subtype should be 4 times or more as much as that of the remaining protein subtype.

Example 7 Clinical Validation of Four Amyloid Proteins

Non - amyloid lesions (control group) and amyloid lesions were studied for the differential diagnosis of four representative amyloid subtypes in clinical specimens. The determined detection concentration of the peptide was determined and the subtype of amyloid was determined based on the amyloid subtype that was measured specifically. Specifically, for the diagnosis of amyloid subtypes in amyloid lesion tissues, the concentration of each protein amount was calculated for a clinical sample (amyloid lesion and non-amyloid tissue) having four kinds of amyloid subtypes using SID-MRM-MS system . Table 5 shows the concentrations of four amyloid subtype proteins in non-amyloid lesion tissues and Table 6 shows the concentrations of four amyloid subtype proteins in various amyloid lesions. As shown in Table 5, a very small amount of 0.1 - 0.5 fmol / μL was detected in each non - amyloid lesion. This is thought to be due to contamination of blood during the tissue extraction process. On the other hand, in the case of amyloid lesions, the concentrations of four subtypes of protein were calculated and compared with each other, one type of subtype protein showed a significantly higher detection density than the other three types of amyloid. The difference in the detection concentration showed a difference in detection amount from several tens of times to several hundreds of times. Based on these differences in detection levels, we could differentiate amyloid subtypes. In order to verify the accuracy of the diagnostic results, IHC verification results usually used for diagnosis were presented.
