Herein we report a tailored HPLC purification protocol that yields high-purity amyloid beta 42 (Aβ42) and amyloid beta 40 (Aβ40) peptides, capable of oligomer formation. Amyloid beta is a highly aggregation prone, hydrophobic peptide implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The amyloidogenic nature of the peptide makes its purification a challenge.

Abstract

Amyloidogenic peptides such as the Alzheimer’s disease-implicated Amyloid beta (Aβ), can present a significant challenge when trying to obtain high purity material. Here we present a tailored HPLC purification protocol to produce high-purity amyloid beta 42 (Aβ42) and amyloid beta 40 (Aβ40) peptides. We have found that the combination of commercially available hydrophobic poly(styrene/divinylbenzene) stationary phase, polymer laboratory reverse phase – styrenedivinylbenzene (PLRP-S) under high pH conditions, enables the attainment of high purity (>95%) Aβ42 in a single chromatographic run. The purification is highly reproducible and can be amended to both semi-preparative and analytical conditions depending upon the amount of material wished to be purified. The protocol can also be applied to the Aβ40 peptide with identical success and without the need to alter the method.

Introduction

알츠하이머 병은 신경 퇴행성 질환 효과 만 35 명 이상의 세계이다. 질병의 발병 및 발달에 크게 관여 1은 매우 응집하기 쉬운 소수성 펩타이드 베타 아밀로이드 (Aβ)이다. Aβ가 그러나, 아밀로이드 베타 42 (Aβ42)는 단백질의 가장 독성 형태 42 아미노산 변이체 인 것으로 생각하고, 길이 36 내지 43 개의 아미노산의 범위이다. (3)이 용이 특히 신경 독성 엔티티 것으로 여겨진다 확산 성, 올리고머 성 종을 형성하는 Aβ42의 능력에 대부분 기인한다. 도 4는 Aβ 펩티드에 대한 이해를 증진하기 위하여, 일상적으로 고순도 재료를 얻는 것이 필수적이다. 미량 불순물의 존재는 크게 펩티드 응집 성향의 특성을 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. (5)

티raditionally 같은 소수성 Aβ 펩티드의 고속 액체 크로마토 그래피 (HPLC) 분리 C 또는 C 8 실리카 계 정지상과 이동상 산성의 조합을 사용하여 수행되었다. (6) 그러나, 이러한 조건은 펩티드의 정제에 도전을 제공 할 수있다. Aβ 펩티드의 낮은 등전점은 PI (약 5.5) (7)는 산성 조건 하에서, 펩티드의 응집이 증가되고, 그 결과 종종 분리하기 어려운 넓은 비 – 분해 HPLC 피크는 (도 2A)을 생산하는 것을 의미한다. 또한, 이러한 넓은 피크들은 펩티드의 응집 프로필 영향 및 일반적 극적 제조 펩타이드의 양에 영향을 미칠 수있는 정제의 후속 발사가 필요할 수 불순물을 함유한다.

Protocol

1. Preparative HPLC Purification of the Aβ40 or Aβ42 Peptide Prepare the following buffers for the HPLC purification. Prepare buffer A (20 mM NH4OH) by adding 1.3 mL of NH4OH (28% solution) to 1,000 mL of ultrapure water. Prepare buffer B (80% acetonitrile with 20 mM NH4OH) by adding 1.3 mL of NH4OH (28% solution) to a solution of 800 mL of HPLC-grade acetonitrile and 200 mL of ultrapure water. Prepare sam…

Representative Results

The purification of the Aβ42 peptide using a combination of the PLRP-S stationary phase and a high pH mobile phase results in the formation of a sharp, resolved peak for the Aβ peptide at a retention time between 72 and 74 min (Figure 2C). Confirmation of the identity of the peak is done through direct injection mass spectrometry of the collected eluent. The eluent can be stored at -20 °C in solution for up to 12 h. Longer periods of storage may result in o…

Discussion

The HPLC purification of the Aβ peptide is highly dependent upon the choice of both the stationary phase employed in the purification and the mobile phase chosen to elute the peptide. The low isoelectric point of the peptide and high propensity for aggregation render traditional chromatographic conditions for the separation of hydrophobic proteins (C4 or C8 stationary phase coupled with an acidic mobile eluent) challenging, with the Aβ peptide eluting as a prolonged broad, non-resolved peak (Figure 2A</…
