Critical parameters for the analysis of anionic oligosaccharides by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

Résumé

Sulfated oligosaccharides derived from glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are fragile compounds, highly polar and anionic. We report here on the rare but successful application of desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) — LTQ‐Orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS) to the high‐resolution analysis of anionic and sulfated oligosaccharides derived from the GAGs hyaluronic acid and heparin. For that purpose, key parameters affecting DESI performance, comprising the geometric parameters of the DESI source, the probed surface and the spraying conditions, applied spray voltage, flow rates and solvent composition were investigated. Under suitable conditions, the DESI technique allows the preservation of the structural integrity of such fragile compounds. DESI enabled the sensitive detection of anionic hyaluronic acid and heparin oligosaccharides with a limit of detection (LOD) down to 5 fmol (≈10 pg) for the hyaluronic acid decasaccharide. Detection of hyaluronic acid oligosaccharides in urine sample was also successfully achieved with LOD values inferior to the ng range. Multistage tandem mass spectrometry (MSn) through the combination of the DESI source with a hybrid linear ion trap‐orbitrap mass spectrometer allowed the discrimination of isomeric sulfated oligosaccharides and the sequence determination of a hyaluronic acid decasaccharide. These results open promising ways in glycomic and glycobiology fields where structure–activity relationships of bioactive carbohydrates are currently questioned.
