Aspirin有抗血小板及抗發炎之特性,其中主要是透過抑制COX-1活性而造成的,已有研究證實每天服用低劑量75-150 mg能預防心血管疾病及癌症,但仍有部分人會對aspirin產生抵抗性。 因此,本篇主要目的是利用基質輔助雷射脫附游離飛行時間質譜儀(MALDI-TOF-MS)之技術建立aspirin之快速分析方法,應用在藥品及血漿檢測。此技術與傳統液相層析儀器相比,具有靈敏度高、樣品需求量少、操作簡單及偵測時間極短之優勢。在藥劑分析上,添加鹼金屬化合物NaOH及基質2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (25DHB),偵測下限最低可至5 μg/mL﹔而在血漿分析上則是利用化學衍生法,以8-(bromomethyl) quinoline (8-BrMQ)衍生試劑與aspirin進行反應,同時添加18-crown-6及K2CO3之催化劑,偵測濃度最低可至0.1 μg/mL,此兩種方法之相對標準偏差(relative standard deviation;R.S.D.) 和相對誤差(relative error;R.E.)皆小於10%。已知aspirin可誘發氧化壓力而造成癌細胞凋亡,本篇以aspirin培養大鼠腎小管上皮細胞(NRK-52E),利用liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)進行細胞分析,探討是否同樣會造成細胞凋亡。此外,以 aspirin合併有抗氧化作用的薑黃素(curcumin),以及aspirin合併治療糖尿病之藥物格林齊特(gliclazide),分別探討對細胞凋亡的影響。實驗結果發現aspirin會讓細胞產生氧化壓力以及細胞凋亡相關之蛋白,合併curcumin有減輕細胞凋亡的現象,而合併gliclazide則對細胞凋亡的影響並不明顯。
Aspirin has anti-platelet and anti-inflammatory characteristics. Primarily through inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1(COX-1) activity noted studies has demonstrated low-dose aspirin 70~150 mg/day can prevent from cardiovascular disease and certain cancer, but it still has aspirin resistance for some people. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to use the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF-MS) technology to build a rapid method for analysis of aspirin in drug and plasma. Compared with conventional liquid chromatography instruments, the advantages of the MALDI-TOF-MS are high sensitivity, less sample required, easy to operate and detect in short time. In drug analysis, the addition of alkali metal compound such as NaOH and matrix 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (25DHB), the detection limit of aspirin could be attained 5 μg/ml. In plasma analysis, 8-(bromomethyl) quinoline (8-BrMQ) was used to react with aspirin, and the reaction was catalyzed with 18-crown-6 and K2CO3. The detection limit of aspirin could be attained 0.1 μg/ml, relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) and relative error (R.E.) of the two methods are less than 10%. Aspirin is known to induce oxidative stress caused apoptosis in cancer cell. Hence, this study used aspirin to treat rat renal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E) and screen the apoptosis-related protein by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Moreover, combination of antioxidant curcumin and gliclazide, the effects on apoptosis also examine separately. It was found that aspirin could cause oxidative stress and express apoptosis-related proteins. Aspirin combind with curcumin could reduce the apoptosis of cells, combined with gliclazide is not obvious.
