It plays a significant role in mediating the effects of Growth Hormone (GH), circulates at ng/mL levels, and is strongly bound to Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein (IGFBP). Historically, immunoassays have been used for quantification of IGF-I. In recent years, use of LC-MS for quantification of IGF-I has increased. Most labs using LC-MS use the surrogate peptide approach, with or without immuno-affinity extraction, followed by quantification of resulting signature peptides by analytical scale LC with a tandem quadrupole (TQ) instrument. Although widely accepted, digestion may not always be required for proteins under 10 kDa on a TQ. However, achieving relevant analytical sensitivity levels for such intact proteins does require meticulous attention to sample preparation. The immuno-affinity extraction and the surrogate peptide workflows described in literature are complex and laborious, adding cost and complexity to the analysis. High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) systems are usually the preferred platforms to perform intact protein analysis, but have rarely been used routinely for quantitative bioanalytical applications. With recent advances in MS instrumentation and software capabilities, use ofHRMS for bioanalytical quantification is on the rise. Some labs have reported quantifying IGF-I using immuno-affinity extraction and followed by nano-flow LC and a HRMS system 2 . Here, we highlight a simplified sample preparation workflow using sample pretreatment, protein precipitation, and solid phase extraction (SPE) for the quantification of intact IGF-I from human serum for clinical research using an analytical LC with a tandem quadrupole instrument.

Effectively disrupting this binding and preventing reformation of this complex during sample preparation was crucial for successful IGF-I recovery in serum/ plasma. Prior to sample extraction, IGF-II, which also binds strongly to IGFBP, was added in excess to prevent IGF-I-IGFBP complex reformation. Various serum pretreatment options were evaluated. Treatment with acid, base, denaturing reagents and protein precipitation (PPT) alone, or in combination were tested. Total IGF-I recovery (SDS pretreatment, PPT, and SPE) using the optimized protocol was >90% (Figure 3). LLOQ of 5 ng/mL of IGF-I (human sequence) was achieved in mouse plasma using the Xevo TQ-XS. Calibration curves, in both mouse plasma and human serum, were linear with r 2 values > 0.99 (1/x 2 weighted regression) with mean accuracies of and 101.76, and 99.98, respectively (Table 2). Precision and accuracy for both the mouse and human QC samples were excellent with mean % RSDs <7% and QC accuracy ranges of 93.9-107.7 (Table 3 and Figure 4, panel A). Calculated endogenous IGF-I human serum level (26.81 ng/mL) is shown in Table 3 and is also illustrated in Figure 4, panel B. Additionally, IGF-I was accurately quantified from 10-1000 ng/mL using the targeted mode of the Xevo G2-XS. Calibration curves were linear (1/x 2 weighting) with r 2 values >0.99 and mean accuracies between 98-101% (Table 2). QC performance was comparable to the TQ-XS, with accuracy ranges between 89-97% and CV’s < 10% (Table 3, Figure 5).

Sample preparation method development data showing >90% recovery for SDS+PPT+SPE CONCLUSION The clinical research method described employs a simple pretreatment and SPE sample preparation strategy combined with analytical flow LC and tandem-quadrupole MS for the direct analysis and quantification of intact IGF-I from serum/plasma. Sample preparation with simple SPE was < 1.5 hours, which is 3X faster than the complex sample preparation with protein digestion or affinity chromatography. Protein dissociation followed by PPT and a mixed-mode SPE strategy with OASIS MAX, effectively removes denaturant reagents, and improves analytical sensitivity, selectivity, and method robustness. Low LLOQ’s were achieved without the use of nano-flow LC, increasing robustness and reproducibility of the method and decreasing the run times. This method achieves analytical sensitivity of 5 ng/mL, linear dynamic range of 5-1,000 ng/mL, and accurately quantifies endogenous IGF-I with excellent robustness and reproducibility. Additionally, this work also highlights the analytical sensitivity and robustness of the HRMS platform (Xevo G2-XS) which meet the FDA guidelines implemented in most regulated bioanalysis laboratories. 100 µL of mouse plasma and human serum was spiked at various concentrations (5-1,000 ng/mL) with IGF-I. Samples were pretreated with 0.6% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), incubated, precipitated with 5% acetic acid in acetonitrile and centrifuged. The supernatant was then pretreated with NH 4 OH and passed through an Oasis MAX µElution 96 well plate & eluted with 2x25 µL aliquots of 60% methanol containing 10% acetic acid. The eluate was diluted with 50 µL water and injected (Figure 2). LC-MS/MS conditions used are described below in tables 1a, 1b and 1c Figure 4.

INTRODUCTION Insulin-like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) is a 70 amino acid (7.6 kDa) peptide hormone, with 3 internal di-sulphide bonds (Figure 1). It plays a significant role in mediating the effects of Growth Hormone (GH), circulates at ng/mL levels, and is strongly bound to Insulin-like

Growth Factor Binding Protein (IGFBP).

Historically, immunoassays have been used for quantification of IGF-I. In recent years, use of LC-MS for quantification of IGF-I has increased. Most labs using LC-MS use the surrogate peptide approach, with or without immuno-affinity extraction, followed by quantification of resulting signature peptides by analytical scale LC with a tandem quadrupole (TQ) instrument. Although widely accepted, digestion may not always be required for proteins under 10 kDa on a TQ. However, achieving relevant analytical sensitivity levels for such intact proteins does require meticulous attention to sample preparation. The immuno-affinity extraction and the surrogate peptide workflows described

in literature are complex and laborious, adding cost and complexity to the analysis.

High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) systems are usually the preferred platforms to perform intact protein analysis, but have rarely been used routinely for quantitative

bioanalytical applications. With recent advances in MS instrumentation and software capabilities, use ofHRMS for bioanalytical quantification is on the rise. Some labs have reported quantifying IGF-I using immuno-affinity extraction and

followed by nano-flow LC and a HRMS system2.

Here, we highlight a simplified sample preparation workflow using sample pretreatment, protein precipitation, and solid phase extraction (SPE) for the quantification of intact IGF-I from human serum for clinical research using an analytical LC with a tandem quadrupole instrument. We further compare its performance characteristics to a

targeted HRMS approach for quantification. Figure 1. Structure of Insulin-like Growth Factor I

Total IGF-I recovery (SDS pretreatment, PPT, and SPE) using the optimized protocol was >90% (Figure 3).

LLOQ of 5 ng/mL of IGF-I (human sequence) was achieved in mouse plasma using the Xevo TQ-XS. Calibration curves, in both mouse plasma and human serum, were linear with r2 values > 0.99 (1/x2 weighted regression) with mean accuracies of and 101.76, and 99.98, respectively (Table 2). Precision and accuracy for both the mouse and human QC samples were excellent with mean % RSDs <7% and QC accuracy ranges of 93.9-107.7 (Table 3 and Figure 4, panel A). Calculated endogenous IGF-I human serum level (26.81 ng/mL) is shown in Table 3 and is also illustrated in Figure 4, panel B.

Additionally, IGF-I was accurately quantified from 10-1000 ng/mL using the targeted mode of the Xevo G2-XS. Calibration curves were linear (1/x2 weighting) with r2 values >0.99 and mean accuracies between 98-101% (Table 2). QC performance was comparable to the TQ-XS, with accuracy ranges between 89-97% and CV’s < 10% (Table 3, Figure 5).

CONCLUSION The clinical research method described employs a simple pretreatment and SPE sample preparation strategy combined with

analytical flow LC and tandem-quadrupole MS for the direct analysis and quantification of intact IGF-I from serum/plasma.

Sample preparation with simple SPE was < 1.5 hours, which is 3X faster than the complex sample preparation with protein

Protein dissociation followed by PPT and a mixed-mode SPE strategy with OASIS MAX, effectively removes denaturant

reagents, and improves analytical sensitivity, selectivity, and method robustness.

Low LLOQ’s were achieved without the use of nano-flow LC, increasing robustness and reproducibility of the method and

decreasing the run times.

This method achieves analytical sensitivity of 5 ng/mL, linear dynamic range of 5-1,000 ng/mL, and accurately quantifies

endogenous IGF-I with excellent robustness and reproducibility.

Additionally, this work also highlights the analytical sensitivity and robustness of the HRMS platform (Xevo G2-XS) which meet

the FDA guidelines implemented in most regulated bioanalysis laboratories.

100 µL of mouse plasma and human serum was spiked at various concentrations (5-1,000 ng/mL) with IGF-I. Samples were pretreated with 0.6% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), incubated, precipitated with 5% acetic acid in acetonitrile and centrifuged.
