          Abstract

          Background: Aim of this prospective crossover study was to identify the nature of the middle-molecular weight solutes removed during high-volume post-dilution HDF. Methods: The efficiency in removing small molecules, protein-bound and middle-molecular proteins was evaluated in 16 chronic dialysis patients on post-dilution HDF with two high-flux dialyzer membranes (Amembris and Polyamix). Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology (MudPIT) was employed to identify middle-molecular weight solutes in spent dialysate. Results: Efficiency of post-dilution HDF in removing solutes of different MW was high with both membranes, but higher with Amembris than with Polyamix. With MudPIT analysis, 277 proteins were identified in the dialysate fluids. Although the protein-removal pattern was similar among patients and tested membranes, the total and protein-specific peptide spectral count (mass spectrometric quantitation criteria) of most proteins were higher using the Amembris membrane. Conclusions: The MudPIT approach showed to be a powerful tool to identify a broad molecular weight spectrum of proteins removed with post-dilution HDF. Short Summary: Aim of this prospective crossover study was to analyze the hydraulic properties of two high-flux dialyzer membranes (Amembris and Polyamix) during high-volume, post-dilution HDF and to evaluate the influence of these properties on the removal of proteins and peptides using an in-depth analysis of the spent dialysate. For this analysis, a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry approach called MudPIT (Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology) was used to identify the middle molecular weight solutes present in the spent dialysate of patients. The capability of post-dilution HDF in removing solutes of different MW was very high with both dialyzers, but higher with the Amembris membrane. The proteomic MudPIT approach showed to be a powerful tool to identify a wide molecular spectrum of proteins removed from blood during post-dilution HDF. These results may contribute to address research toward a better knowledge of uremic toxins and the balance between the intended and unintended removal of undesired and beneficial proteins next to identification of new target proteins as potential candidates for uremic toxicity. i 2014 S.

          Large-scale analysis of the yeast proteome by multidimensional protein identification technology.

          We describe a largely unbiased method for rapid and large-scale proteome analysis by multidimensional liquid chromatography, tandem mass spectrometry, and database searching by the SEQUEST algorithm, named multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT). MudPIT was applied to the proteome of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain BJ5460 grown to mid-log phase and yielded the largest proteome analysis to date. A total of 1,484 proteins were detected and identified. Categorization of these hits demonstrated the ability of this technology to detect and identify proteins rarely seen in proteome analysis, including low-abundance proteins like transcription factors and protein kinases. Furthermore, we identified 131 proteins with three or more predicted transmembrane domains, which allowed us to map the soluble domains of many of the integral membrane proteins. MudPIT is useful for proteome analysis and may be specifically applied to integral membrane proteins to obtain detailed biochemical information on this unwieldy class of proteins.

            Free p-cresylsulphate is a predictor of mortality in patients at different stages of chronic kidney disease.

            Uraemic toxins are considered to be emerging mortality risk factors in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. p-Cresol (a prototype protein-bound uraemic retention solute) has been shown to exert toxic effects in vitro. Recently, it has been demonstrated that p-cresol is present in plasma as its sulphate conjugate, p-cresylsulphate. The present study evaluated the distribution of free and total p-cresylsulphate and sought to determine whether these parameters were associated with vascular calcification, arterial stiffness and mortality risk in a cohort of CKD patients. One hundred and thirty-nine patients (mean +/- SD age: 67 +/- 12; males: 60%) at different stages of CKD (8% at Stage 2, 26.5% at Stage 3, 26.5% at Stage 4, 7% at Stage 5 and 32% at Stage 5D) were enrolled in this study. Baseline total and free p-cresylsulphate presented an inverse relationship with renal function and were significantly associated with vascular calcification. During the study period (mean follow-up period: 779 +/- 185 days), 38 patients died [including 22 from cardiovascular (CV) causes]. In crude survival analyses, free (but not total) p-cresylsulphate was shown to be a predictor of overall and CV death. Higher free p-cresylsulphate levels (>0.051 mg/100 mL; median) were associated with mortality independently of well-known predictors of survival such as age, vascular calcification, anaemia and inflammation. Serum levels of free and total p-cresylsulphate (the main in vivo circulating metabolites of p-cresol) were elevated in later CKD stages. However, only free p-cresylsulphate seems to be a predictor of survival in CKD.

              An Automated Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology for Shotgun Proteomics

              We describe an automated method for shotgun proteomics named multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT), which combines multidimensional liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The multidimensional liquid chromatography method integrates a strong cation-exchange (SCX) resin and reversed-phase resin in a biphasic column. We detail the improvements over a system described by Link et al. (Link, A. J.; Eng, J.; Schieltz, D. M.; Carmack, E.; Mize, G. J.; Morris, D. R.; Garvik, B. M.; Yates, J. R., III. Nat. Biotechnol. 1999, 17, 676-682) that separates and acquires tandem mass spectra for thousands of peptides. Peptides elute off the SCX phase by increasing pI, and elution off the SCX material is evenly distributed across an analysis. In addition, we describe the chromatographic benchmarks of MudPIT. MudPIT was reproducible within 0.5% between two analyses. Furthermore, a dynamic range of 10000 to 1 between the most abundant and least abundant proteins/peptides in a complex peptide mixture has been demonstrated. By improving sample preparation along with separations, the method improves the overall analysis of proteomes by identifying proteins of all functional and physical classes.
