Current- ly, advanced glycation end products （AGEs） are considered to be biomarkers of many diseases, such as diabetes and its complications. In this study, a model for further proteomics study was es- tablished to analyze the glycation of HSA with 18 O-labeling strategy. 30 peptides were randomly se- lected to optimize tryptic digestion and 18O-labeling condition by HPLC-ESI/TOF. The best tryptic di- gestion condition was： HSA： Trypsin = 50： 1, w/w for 20 h. The best t8 O-labeling condition was to di- lute urea to 1 M and adjust KH2 POa--K2 HPO4 buffer pH to 6.0 to give a final labeling efficiency of 98.5 ± 0.7%. The inter- and intra-day precisions and stability were satisfactory. This model was es- tablished and optimized for further quantitative proteomics study.展开更多

Thus,it is necessary to establish a model to screen biomarkers to characterize and evaluate aging degree. In this study,an in vitro aging model was set up by formaldehdye and human serum albumin（ HSA）,the most abundant protein in human plasma,based on Maillard Reaction. The liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry（ LC-MS /MS） method with ^18O-labeling technique was employed to quantify modification degree of peptides cleaved from HSA. This model was established and optimized for further quantitative biomarker study.展开更多
