Here we present a protocol to characterize the complete biomolecular corona, proteins, and metabolites, acquired by nanomaterials from biofluids using a capillary electrophoresis – mass spectrometry approach.

Abstract

The adsorption of biomolecules from surrounding biological matrices to the surface of nanomaterials (NMs) to form the corona has been of interest for the past decade. Interest in the bio-nano interface arises from the fact that the biomolecular corona confers a biological identity to NMs and thus causes the body to identify them as “self”. For example, previous studies have demonstrated that the proteins in the corona are capable of interacting with membrane receptors to influence cellular uptake and established that the corona is responsible for cellular trafficking of NMs and their eventual toxicity. To date, most research has focused upon the protein corona and overlooked the possible impacts of the metabolites included in the corona or synergistic effects between components in the complete biomolecular corona. As such, this work demonstrates methodologies to characterize both the protein and metabolite components of the biomolecular corona using bottom-up proteomics and metabolomics approaches in parallel. This includes an on-particle digest of the protein corona with a surfactant used to increase protein recovery, and a passive characterization of the metabolite corona by analyzing metabolite matrices before and after NM exposures. This work introduces capillary electrophoresis – mass spectrometry (CESI-MS) as a new technique for NM corona characterization. The protocols outlined here demonstrate how CESI-MS can be used for the reliable characterization of both the protein and metabolite corona acquired by NMs. The move to CESI-MS greatly decreases the volume of sample required (compared to traditional liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry (LC-MS) approaches) with multiple injections possible from as little as 5 µL of sample, making it ideal for volume limited samples. Furthermore, the environmental consequences of analysis are reduced with respect to LC-MS due to the low flow rates (<20 nL/min) in CESI-MS, and the use of aqueous electrolytes which eliminates the need for organic solvents.

Introduction

Bio-nano interactions, at the interface between nanomaterial (NM) surfaces and biological matrices from which biomolecules adsorb to the NM, is an intense area of research underpinning nanosafety and nanomedicine1. This layer of adsorbed biomolecules confers a biological identity to NMs, thus cells identify them as “self”, subsequently influencing cellular uptake, distribution and biological endpoints2,3,4. The vast majority of bio-nano studies have focused upon the proteins within the corona, and have demonstrated that proteins vary quantitatively and qualitatively between NMs of different compositions5. This variation is dependent upon both the properties of the NM such as size, functionalization, and material in addition to the properties of the biological matrix including composition and salt content5. A rising area of interest in the bio-nano interface are the metabolites that adsorb to NMs6. Several studies have demonstrated that, as with the proteins, NM properties are a key factor in determining the composition of the metabolites in the corona and that they can influence biological outcomes of NM exposure6,7,8.

In studies of the biomolecular corona there are four distinct phases to its characterization, corona formation, the isolation of the biomolecules within the corona, their detection via qualitative or quantitative mass spectrometry and identification9. To date, a range of techniques have been adopted to isolate the protein corona including boiling in SDS-PAGE running buffer, solvent and salt extractions or direct digestion of proteins in situ on the surface of NMs. In terms of the metabolites in the corona, the isolation is more complex with various methods using solvents or even the dissolution of the NMs proposed as solutions8,10,11. However, unlike the protein corona a “one size fits all” approach is unlikely to apply to the isolation of metabolites from NMs, due to the wide chemical space occupied by the metabolome and the diversity of possible NMs. An alternative approach is to characterize the biological matrix before and after NM exposure with the difference in metabolite concentrations attributed to the adsorption of metabolites to NMs.12

This alternative approach would be applicable to all biofluids and NMs and although it does require twice as much analysis, it consequently offers a much more precise measure of the metabolite corona and has no risk of low metabolite recoveries from the NM surface being mistaken for low binding of the specific metabolite.

The second step to the biomolecular corona analysis is the detection of the biomolecules. Traditionally for the proteins in the corona, this has been the remit of nano-LC-MS, the workhorse of proteomics; other approaches such as NMR13, 1D and 2D SDS-PAGE have also been applied. In terms of the metabolite corona LC-MS7, GC-MS8 and direct infusion mass spectrometry have been utilized14. However, a new approach has recently started to gain traction, namely capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS)11,15 and has been present in NM labs as a standalone technique to characterize various physical and chemical properties of NMs16. CE-MS is an orthogonal separation technique to nanoLC-MS and GC-MS and is capable of enabling the detection of highly polar and charged metabolites17,18. Furthermore, CE-MS is well suited for the analysis of proteins and their posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation and glycosylation19,20,21,22. The final step, identification and data analysis can be performed in several ways depending upon if a quantitative / qualitative or targeted / untargeted approach is being used, this, however, falls outside the remit of this protocol.

CESI-MS, a combination of CE and a nanoESI interface, is a recent advance in CE technology utilizing a sheathless interface. This enables direct connection of ultra-low flow CE (<20 nL/min) to a high resolution mass spectrometer with no dilution, resulting in significantly improved detection sensitivity23,24,25. CESI-MS enables volume limited samples (< 10 µL) to be analyzed while maintaining a highly sensitive analysis26. CESI-MS also compares favorably to traditional low flow rate nanoLC-MS approaches used in proteomics and metabolomics in terms of reproducibility27,28, throughput, and carry over making it an exciting prospect for the complete biomolecular corona characterization.

To highlight the potential of CESI-MS for the analyses of bio-nano interactions this work describes the sample preparation required to isolate the NM biomolecular corona from a single human plasma sample in such a way as to maximize data from both the protein and metabolite aspects of the complete biomolecular NM corona. While we report on the use of human plasma, this protocol would be equally appropriate for other biofluids such as blood serum, complete cell culture medium, cell lysate, cerebrospinal fluid or urine. The analyses of these two components (proteins and metabolites) will then be described using neutral coated CESI capillaries for the protein corona and bare fused silica capillaries for both cationic and anionic metabolites.

Protocol

Use of human biofluid was approved as per the IRB protocol guidelines from University of Leiden and Innsbruck Medical University. When human or animal biofluids are being investigated, ethical approval from the research institution is required, and has been obtained in the case of the results shown in this protocol. Furthermore adequate reporting should also be performed to ensure transparency and reusability of data in future work9,29,30.

1. Preparation of background electrolytes (BGE)

NOTE: All solvents should be prepared in a suitable fume hood and adequate personal protective equipment must be used for all steps (labcoat, gloves and goggles). In each step, low binding plastic vials are required to minimize analyte loss and contamination of sample with salts leached from glassware.

    NOTE: In the development of this protocol, 7 NMs were used as follows: 100 and 1,000 nm carboxylated polystyrene were used for protein and metabolite corona, respectively. 100 nm unmodified polystyrene NMs, 13 nm anatase TiO2 NMs which were unmodified or coated with either polyacrylate or PVP polymers and 22 nm unmodified SiO2 NMs were used for both protein and metabolite coronas. While the method was developed and demonstrated using these NMs, it should be noted that this approach would be applicable for a wide array of NM compositions, sizes, shapes, and morphologies.
  2. Characterize particle size using either dynamic light scattering34,35, single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry36, nanoparticle tracking analysis37, or transmission electron microscopy and surface charge as zeta potential using a zeta sizer34.

  1. Take the control plasma and the supernatant from the NM plasma incubation from Step 3.3 and keep on ice during sample preparation.
  2. Take 50 µL from each into separate vials and dilute 1 in 10 with DI water. Take 50 µL of each diluted sample and move to new vials for step 5.3.
  3. Add 200 µL chloroform, 250 µL methanol and 350 µL DI water and vigorously vortex mixture for 2 min. Centrifuge for 10 min at 20,800 x g at 4 ˚C.
  4. Take 500 µL of supernatant and filter through a 3 kDa centrifugal filter for 2 h at 10,000 x g at 4 ˚C. Take 430 µL of ultrafiltrate and dry in a speed vac. Samples can now be frozen prior to analysis.

Flush separation capillary with BGE at 100 psi for 10 min and then DI water at 100 psi for 30 min (this is only required for new capillaries).
    2. Flush both the separation capillary and the conductive capillary with BGE at 90 psi for 5 min and ensure droplets form at the outlet end of both capillaries.
    3. Flush the separation capillary with DI water at 90 psi for 10 min, then 50 psi for 10 min with 0.1 M HCl, followed again by 90 psi for 10 min with DI water and finally BGE at 90 psi for 10 min. Couple CESI to the MS using a nanospray source and adapter as previously described38.

8. CESI-MS for metabolite corona analysis

NOTE: All samples must be analyzed twice, once in positive mode for the detection of cations and once in negative mode for the detection of anions. The control plasma samples need to be analyzed at least 5 times.

Representative Results

The described method is the first to characterize both the proteins and metabolites in the NM biomolecular corona using the same human plasma sample. This method is capable of detecting >200 proteins and >150 metabolites, thus enabling the most comprehensive overview of the complete biomolecular corona to be determined, enabling enhanced understanding of NMs cellular attachment, uptake and impacts.

The use of CESI-MS for both proteomics (Figure 1) and metabolomics (Figure 2) separation and detection shows good separation windows on both capillaries for each approach.

This method is capable of distinguishing between the proteins in the corona across a wide range of NMs compositions, thus demonstrating the methods’ applicability to NMs across a broad range of physical and chemical characteristics (Table 1).

The unique fingerprints of the metabolite corona can also be distinguished using the metabolomic branch of this methodology (Figure 3). Although this approach utilizes a passive approach to characterize the NM metabolite corona it is still capable of uncovering interesting insights into the role of metabolites in the biomolecular corona such as the differential adsorption of isomers (Figure 4).

Analyte Mean RSD peak area Mean RSD migration time
1928 peptides intraday (n=3) 15% 0.30%

27 cation inter-day (n=36) 8.60% 1.80%

Table 2: Reproducibility of CESI-MS technical replicates for peptides and cationic metabolites. RSD: relative standard deviation, as a measure of reproducibility. The reproducibility of CESI-MS in-terms of peak areas and migration times is very good, with all analytes having a mean RSD <15% and migration times <2.2%. These results demonstrate the high degree of confidence that can be attributed to the data collected using this technique and confirm that variations detected are due to genuine differences in sample composition (enrichment on NMs) rather than analytical variation. Table 2 is generated from results presented previously11,15.

Discussion

This is the first method proposed to characterize the complete biomolecular corona incorporating proteins and metabolites, from the same sample, using CESI-MS. The ability to characterize both the proteins and metabolites from the same sample will significantly increase the amount of data collected from a single experimental exposure enabling new insights into the process of corona formation and its impacts for NMs toxicity and efficacy as nanomedicines. Furthermore, CESI-MS is an ideal platform to characterize both classes of biomolecules with just a change of capillary required. Moving forward, new methods developed for non-aqueous CE will enable lipidomics to be performed using CE-MS40 thus it is now possible to analyze proteins, metabolites and lipids using a single platform. The current conventional approaches would require two dedicated LC-MS platforms, one for the protein corona and one for the metabolite corona. Thus, this approach can collect twice as much data using a single analytical platform.

There are some caveats to this approach particularly with the metabolite corona as this protocol proposes an indirect measurement of the corona. As such, problem may arise when the metabolite levels are present at high concentrations relative to the NMs and the subsequent drop in metabolite concentration in the matrix is small. However, unlike with the protein corona, it is unlikely that a “one size fits all” approach to isolating the metabolite corona will be developed due to each NM having unique surface chemistries. Going forward it is more likely that NM specific approaches to isolate the metabolite corona will be developed and validated however; this will be applicable to only that specific NM. Despite this, the CESI-MS will still be a highly suitable platform for the characterization of the polar charged metabolites regardless of how they are isolated. Also noteworthy is that if a pellet does not form during the centrifugation steps designed to pellet the NMs, a higher centrifugal force may be required; this is most likely to occur with less dense NMs. It is also critical that all filtering steps are adhered to within the protocol due to the narrow bore of the capillaries these can easily become blocked if any particulate matter has not been adequately eliminated from the sample.

While the protein corona has been an intense area of research for a number of years the ability to combine that with the metabolite corona is a new field of interest for scientists investigating the bio-nano interface6,14. To date, the majority of these studies have focused upon the non-polar, lipid fraction of the metabolite corona9,28. This current method enables the characterization of the highly polar and charged metabolites in the corona which includes important metabolites involved in energy metabolism, glycolysis, and DNA synthesis. As a result, when combined with the proteomics workflow, a more holistic characterization of the biomolecular corona is possible. This enables a more in-depth analysis of bio-nano interactions moving forward. This method enables enhanced mechanistic insights into receptor-mediated endocytosis via protein and metabolite interactions with membrane receptors. Furthermore, inter and intra corona interactions between proteins and small molecules may be explored; for example, it has been recently shown that the proteins in the corona play a key role in the recruitment of metabolites15. It is worth noting that the representative results in Figure 3 and Figure 4 are absolute quantification of metabolites, however, an untargeted approach using multivariate data analysis to compare all CE-MS features in controls compared to exposed plasma would also elucidate metabolite binding. Thus, there is a significant scope to investigate how, and which, metabolites and proteins influence their respective recruitment into NM coronas. These additional studies may help design coronas to optimize delivery of nanomedicines or uncover further hurdles to their development such as the suppression of pharmaceutical action because of the biomolecular corona blocking or masking targeting functionalities.

CESI-MS with its nano scale flow rates of around 20 nL/min and minimal use of organic solvents offers an improvement in green and economic credentials over standard LC-MS and nanoLC-MS in terms of solvent use, the main challenges for metabolomics and proteomics studies, respectively. CESI-MS offers highly reproducible results for both migration time and peak area which compare favorably with LC-MS based methods11,15. Furthermore, compared to nanoLC-MS, carry-over is not an issue in CESI-MS. Therefore, extensive system clean-up between sample analyses is not required, which greatly improves sample throughput11.

In summary, the proposed workflow is the first to detail an approach to characterize both the protein and metabolite components of the complete biomolecular corona of NMs. This unlocks a new aspect of bio-nano interactions, the metabolite corona, thus enabling the collection of twice as much data from the same sample, enabling a more complete understanding of interactions at the bio-nano interface.
