ABSTRACT
Heparan sulfates (HSs) are widely expressed glycans in the animal kingdom. HS plays a role in regulating cell differentiation/proliferation, embryonic development, blood coagulation, inflammatory response, and viral infection. The amount of HS and its structural information are critically important for investigating the functions of HS in vivo. A sensitive and reliable quantitative technique for the analysis of HS from biological samples is under development. Here, we report a new labeling reagent for HS disaccharides analysis, 6-amino-N-(2-diethylamino)ethyl quinoline-2-carboamide (AMQC). The AMQC-conjugated disaccharides are analyzed by LC-MS/MS in positive mode, significantly improving the sensitivity. The use of AMQC coupled with authentic 13C-labeled HS disaccharide internal standards empowered us to determine the amount and the disaccharide composition of the HS on a single histological slide. We used this method to profile the levels of HS in the plasma/serum and tissues/organs to assist the disease prognosis in two animal models, including the acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver injury mouse model and the burn injury mouse model. The method may uncover the roles of HS contributing to the diseases as well as provide a potential new set of biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis.
