Multiplexed Assay to Quantify the PP-Fold Family of Peptides in Human Plasma Using Microflow Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry

© American Association for Clinical Chemistry 2022..

BACKGROUND: Peptide Tyr-Tyr (PYY1-36), pancreatic polypeptide (PP1-36) and neuropeptide Y (NPY1-36) constitute the PP-fold family of peptides that is involved in metabolic regulation. Very low plasma concentrations and cleavage into active 3-36 fragments challenge bioanalytical assays used for the quantification of these peptides.

METHODS: We developed a multiplexed isotopic dilution assay to quantify PYY1-36, PP1-36, and NPY1-36 and their dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4)-derived metabolites PYY3-36, PP3-36 and NPY3-36. All peptides were immunocaptured from plasma using a monoclonal antibody and quantified by micro-ultra-HPLC-MS/MS. Blood samples from healthy volunteers were collected fasting and 30 min after nutrient stimulation. Method comparison was performed with commercial immunoassays.

RESULTS: Linearity was shown in the measured intervals (r2 > 0.99). The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) with a CV at 20% was 1.5 pM for PYY1-36 and PYY3-36, 3.0 pM for PP1-36 and PP3-36, 0.8 pM for NPY1-36 and 0.5 pM for NPY3-36. In all cases, intra- and inter-assay bias and imprecision were <21%. Pre-analytical stability required addition of a protease inhibitor cocktail. Physiological concentrations of PYY3-36, NPY3-36, PP1-36 and PP3-36 were above the LLOQ in 43% to 100% of the samples. PYY1-36 and NPY1-36 were above the LLOQ in 9% and 0% of the samples, respectively. Immunoassays showed higher concentrations of measurands and poor agreement when compared with micro-UHPLC-MS/MS.

CONCLUSIONS: The assay allowed for specific multiplexed analysis of the PP-fold family of peptides and their DPP4-cleaved fragments in a single sample, thereby offering new perspectives to study the role and therapeutic potential of these essential peptide hormones in health and metabolic disease.
