A rapid quantitative analysis of the sialylated N-linked oligosaccharides of recombinant erythropoietin (EPO) expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells has been developed. The procedure utilizes a glycoamidase (glycopeptidase F) to release all of the N-linked oligosaccharides from the native glycoprotein, followed by direct chromatographic analysis using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) with pulsed amperometric detection. The eight sialyloligosaccharides isolated from HPAEC were characterized by derivatizing with 2-aminopyridine followed by two-dimensional HPLC mapping of the pyridylaminated asialooligosaccharides (Tomiya et al., 1988, Anal. Biochem. 171, 73-90). Seven kinds of complex-type asialooligosaccharides were identified ranging from a biantennary structure to N-acetyllactosamine-extended tetraantennary structure. Approximately 3% of the terminal galactose residues of the oligosaccharides released from EPO were not sialylated whereas 97% contained an alpha(2-->3)-linked sialic acid. Quantitative oligosaccharide mapping of four different lots of EPO from CHO cells was performed to quantify the molar balance and distribution of the N-linked oligosaccharides. The sialyloligosaccharides were distributed with approximately 5% disialylated (single type), 20% trisialylated (six types), and 75% tetrasialylated (four types) oligosaccharides with an average molar recovery of 85% starting from 750 pmol of EPO.

The structures of the N-linked oligosaccharides of the urinary erythropoietin (u-EPO) purified from urine of aplastic anemic patients were analyzed and compared with those for recombinant erythropoietin (r-EPO) prepared with baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. Asparagine-linked neutral oligosaccharides were released from each EPO protein by N-oligosaccharide glycopeptidase (almond) digestion. The reducing ends of the oligosaccharide chains thus obtained were aminated with a fluorescent reagent, 2-aminopyridine, and the mixture of pyridylamino derivatives of the oligosaccharides was separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on an ODS silica column. More than 8 and 13 kinds of oligosaccharide fractions for u-EPO and r-EPO (BHK), respectively, were completely separated by the one-step HPLC procedure. The structure of each oligosaccharide thus isolated was analyzed by a combination of sequential exoglycosidase digestion and another kind of HPLC with an amide-silica column. Furthermore, high-resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy and methylation analyses were carried out in the case of r-EPO (BHK).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We have evaluated high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) with respect to its suitability for use in establishing a carbohydrate-mapping database that would enable a carbohydrate structural analysis by mere comparison of migration times. The suitability of HPCE for carbohydrate structural assignments was ascertained by validation experiments. The migration times of distinct N-glycans, prepared and measured on different days, were shown to be highly reproducible, with a coefficient of variation of usually less than 0.20%, requiring only femtomoles of N-glycan per injection for reliable measurements. By including mesityl oxide and sialic acid as internal standards and a triple-correction method, HPCE fulfills the analytical requirements with respect to accuracy, precision, reproducibility, and sensitivity. The N-glycan-mapping database was established using a newly developed and optimized buffer system containing 1,5-diaminopentane as an organic modifier. Approximately 80 different sialylated N-glycans of known structure, which have thus far been measured and characterized, have been entered into our Lotus 1-2-3 mapping database. The database for structural determinations was tested using the N-linked carbohydrates released from recombinant human urinary erythropoietin (baby hamster kidney) by PNGase F treatment and from bovine serum fetuin and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein by automated and manual (large-scale) hydrazinolysis, respectively. The efficiency of the database and of the triple-correction method was further confirmed by HPCE measurements performed in a different laboratory and by a different analyst who used the HPCE system of a different manufacturer.

The N-linked carbohydrate chains of recombinant human erythropoietin expressed in CHO cells were quantitatively released with peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F, separated from the remaining O-glycoprotein by gel-permeation chromatography, and subsequently fractionated via FPLC on Mono Q, HPLC on Lichrosorb-NH2 and high-pH anion-exchange chromatography on CarboPac PA1. The purified sialylated oligosaccharides were analyzed by one-dimensional and two-dimensional 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy. When necessary, oligosaccharides were treated with endo-beta-galactosidase (and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase) followed by 1H-NMR analysis of the incubation products, to obtain additional structural information. Di-, tri-, tri'- and tetraantennary N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides occur which can be completely (major) or partially (minor) sialylated. Three different types of alpha 2-3-linked sialic acids are present, namely, N-acetylneuraminic acid (95%), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (2%) and N-acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid (3%). In the case of partial sialylation, a non-random distribution of the sialic acids over the branches is observed. One or two extra N-acetyllactosamine units, being exclusively located in the branches attached to the alpha 1-6-linked Man residue, can be present in completely or partially sialylated di-, tri'-, and tetraantennary oligosaccharides. Tetraantennary oligosaccharides with N-acetyllactosamine repeats could be digested quantitatively with endo-beta-galactosidase from Bacteroides fragilis, whereas under the same conditions tri' antennary oligosaccharides hardly reacted (< 15%). Using endo-beta-galactosidase from Escherichia freundii, these tri'antennary oligosaccharides could be digested more extensively (> 75%). The O-linked carbohydrate chains were released from the O-glycoprotein by alkaline borohydride treatment, and purified via FPLC on Mono Q and HPLC on Lichrosorb-NH2. Two O-glycans were found, namely, Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3GalNAc-ol and Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3(Neu5Ac alpha 2-6)GalNAc-ol.

We isolated erythropoietin (Epo) from anemic-rat serum with 1.3 x 10(6)-fold purification and 38% recovery using immunoaffinity chromatography. The isolated Epo migrated in SDS polyacrylamide gel with a molecular size of 37 kDa. Biological properties of rat Epo were compared with those of human Epo using target cells of primate and murine origins. When murine cells were used as target cells for assaying Epo, rat Epo stimulated proliferation of the cells with a 50% lower potency than did human Epo. The activity of rat Epo on human cells was only 25% of that of human Epo. Studies of Epo binding to the receptor indicated that rat and human Epos were not distinguishable in binding to murine cells; however, rat Epo bound to the receptor on human cells with an affinity much lower than that of human Epo. Rat Epo was digested with N-glycanase. Complete removal of N-linked sugars converted the native Epo to the deglycosylated form with 18 kDa. The in vitro activity of deglycosylated Epo was 2.5-fold higher than that of the native Epo.

Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is used abundantly in the clinic to stimulate red blood cell growth in anaemic patients. The efficacy of the drug depends strongly on the extent of sialylation of its carbohydrate moiety. Prompted by conflicting literature reports on the issue, we reinvestigated the structures of the intact sialylated carbohydrate chains of rHuEPO expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The asparagine-linked oligosaccharides were released from rHuEPO with N-glycanase and fractionated by anion-exchange chromatography. The O-linked oligosaccharides were released under alkaline borohydride conditions. The primary structures of the major sialylated N- and O-type oligosaccharides were identified by 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy, supported by data from composition analysis, methylation analysis, low- and high-pH anion-exchange chromatography, and fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry. The most abundant N-linked oligosaccharides in CHO cell-derived rHuEPO were found to be di-antennary, 2,4-branched tri-antennary, 2,6-branched tri-antennary and tetra-antennary chains (in the ratio of 7:6:5:82), with the latter containing between zero and three repeating N-acetyllactosamine units, in well-defined branches. The major (> 95%) di-, tri- and tetra-antennary structures are fully sialylated, i.e. they have two, three and four sialic acid residues, respectively, linked exclusively alpha(2-->3) to galactose residues. The majority (> 95%) of N-linked structures contain alpha(1-->6)-linked fucose at the proximal GlcNAc residue. The O-type mono- and disialyl oligosaccharides were characterized as a linear tri- and a branched tetra-saccharide, respectively.

A method for analysis of N-linked oligosaccharides derived from glycoproteins including sialic acid-containing species is presented. It is based on the combination of specific chemical and enzymatic conversions coupled with capillary electrophoretic (CE) separation and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection. Glycoproteins were heat-denatured in the presence of a reducing agent and the N-linked oligosaccharides were released by peptide N-glycosidase (PNGase F; EC3.5.1.52)-catalyzed hydrolysis. The released N-linked oligosaccharides were derivatized with 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (APTS) under mild reductive amination conditions in which desialylation and loss of fucose residues are minimized. A model N-linked oligosaccharide, desialylated, galactosylated biantennary, core-substituted with fucose (A2F) was tested for APTS-based derivatization chemistry with excellent recovery of the adduct without losing fucose and neuraminic acid residues. The profiles of heavily sialylated N-linked oligosaccharides derived from fetuin, recombinant human erythropoietin and kallikrein are reported and the data show that the present method produces a high resolution of the N-linked oligosaccharide profile for fingerprinting glycans derived from glycoproteins.

The effect of ammonium chloride was determined on a culture of CHO cells transfected with the human erythropoietin (EPO) gene. Cell growth was inhibited above a culture concentration of 5 mM NH(4)Cl with an IC-50 determined to be 33 mM. The specific production of EPO increased with the addition of NH(4)Cl above 5 mM. At 10 mM NH(4)Cl, the final cell density after 4 days in culture was significantly lower but the final yield of EPO was significantly higher. This appeared to be due to continued protein production after cell growth had ceased. The metabolic effects of added NH(4)Cl included higher specific consumption rates of glucose and glutamine and an increased rate of production of alanine, glycine, and glutamate. The EPO analyzed from control cultures had a molecular weight range of 33-39 kDa and an isoelectric point range of 4.06-4.67. Seven distinct isoforms of the molecule were identified by two-dimensional electrophoresis. This molecular heterogeneity was ascribed to variable glycosylation. Complete enzymatic de-glycosylation resulted in a single molecular form with a molecular mass of 18 kDa. Addition of NH(4)Cl to the cultures caused a significant increase in the heterogeneity of the glycoforms as shown by an increased molecular weight and pI range. Enzymatic de-sialylation of the EPO from the ammonia-treated and control cultures resulted in identical electrophoretic patterns. This indicated that the effect of ammonia was in the reduction of terminal sialylation of the glycan structures which accounted for the increased pI. Selective removal of the N-glycan structures by PNGase F resulted in two bands identified as the O-glycan linked structure (19 kDa) and the completely de-glycosylated structure (18 kDa). The proportion of the O-linked glycan structure was reduced, and its pI increased in cultures to which ammonia was added. Thus, the glycosylation pattern altered by the presence of ammonia included a reduction in terminal sialylation of all the glycans and a reduction in the content of the O-linked glycan. The addition of a sialidase inhibitor to the cultures had no effect on the ammonia-induced increase in EPO heterogeneity. Also, the effect of ammonia on glycosylation could not be mimicked using the weak base chloroquine in our system.

Lysine-containing peptides comprising glycosylation sites derived from recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) by trypsin or Lys-C and PNGase F dual digestion were derivatized with 2-methoxy-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole and its deuterated analogues. In the same reaction, under reducing conditions (beta-mercaptoethanol), cysteines were converted into methyl-cysteines and lysines into Lys-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole. Both modifications on cysteines and lysines simplified the CID-MS/MS spectra, while preserving the structural information by yielding y-series ions and improved the mass spectral signal intensity up to 25 times. Moreover, by this approach, the N-glycan occupation sites were unambiguously determined. O-Glycosylation sites as well as O-glycan structures were determined by a LC-MS/MS experiment carried out on dually digested rHuEPO. N-Glycan mixture purified on a graphitized carbon column using a newly developed method that extracted only sialylated carbohydrates was analyzed first using MALDI-TOF in negative linear ion mode with low mass accuracy but without interferences and metastabile ions and then a reflectron with high mass accuracy. After defining the precursor ions, we performed the nanoESI QTOF MS/MS analysis on N-glycans, mainly targeting the distinction between carbohydrates with sialylated antennae and those lacking sialic acid moieties.

Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) and darbepoetin alfa (DPO) are protein-based drugs for the treatment of anemia in humans by stimulating erythrocyte production. However, these agents are abused in human and equine sports due to their potential to enhance performance. This paper describes the first method for differentiation and identification of rhEPO and DPO in equine plasma by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The method comprised analyte extraction and enrichment by immunoaffinity separation with anti-rhEPO antibodies, dual digestion by trypsin and peptide-N-glycosidase F (PNGase F), and analysis by LC-MS/MS. Two unique deglycosylated tryptic peptides, (21)EAENITTGCAEHCSLNENITVPDTK (45) (T 5) from rhEPO and (77)GQALLVNSSQVNETLQLHVDK (97) (T 9) from DPO, were employed for differentiation and identification of rhEPO and DPO via LC retention times and major product ions. The limit of identification was 0.1 ng/mL for DPO and 0.2 ng/mL for rhEPO in equine plasma, and the limit of detection was 0.05 ng/mL for DPO and 0.1 ng/mL for rhEPO. Analyte carryover problem encountered was solved by adding 20% acetonitrile to the solvent of the sample digest to increase solubility of the peptides. This method was successfully applied to identification of DPO in plasma samples collected from a research horse following DPO administration and from racehorses out of competition in North America. Thus, it provides a powerful tool in the fight against blood doping with rhEPO and DPO in the horse racing industry.
