A convenient method was developed for the quantification of sialic acids expressed by cells and used to analyze the efficiency of -phenylacetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNPhAc) to metabolically glycoengineer SKMEL-28 cancer cell. For this purpose, ManNPhAc-cultured cells were treated with 2M acetic acid to release sialic acids, and the products were treated with 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxybenzene to form the corresponding derivatives that had strong UV absorptions. The reaction mixture was then applied to HPLC-UV analysis to determine the amounts and the ratios of natural sialic acid and its unnatural analog. It was confirmed that after incubation with ManNPhAc SKMEL-28 cell was effectively glycoengineered to express a significant amount of unnatural sialic acid.
开发了一种用于定量细胞表达的唾液酸的简便方法,并用于分析苯乙酰-D-甘露糖胺(ManNPhAc)对SKMEL-28癌细胞进行代谢糖工程改造的效率。为此,用2M乙酸处理经ManNPhAc培养的细胞以释放唾液酸,产物用1,2-二氨基-4,5-亚甲二氧基苯处理以形成具有强紫外吸收的相应衍生物。然后将反应混合物用于HPLC-UV分析,以确定天然唾液酸及其非天然类似物的量和比例。证实与ManNPhAc孵育后,SKMEL-28细胞被有效地进行了糖工程改造,以表达大量的非天然唾液酸。
