摘要
Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) of human globin chains is an important tool for detecting thalassemias and hemoglobin variants. The challenges of this method that limit its clinical application are a long analytical time and complex sample preparation. The aim of this study was to establish a simple, rapid and high-resolution RP-HPLC method for the separation of globin chains in human blood. Red blood cells from newborns and adults were diluted in deionized water and injected directly onto a micro-jupiter C18 reversed-phase column (250 mm x 4.6 mm) with UV detection at 280 nm. Under the conditions of varying pH or the HPLC gradient, the globin chains (pre-beta, beta, delta, alpha, (G)gamma and (A)gamma) were denatured and separated from the heme groups in 12 min with a retention time coefficient of variation (CV) ranging from 0.11 to 1.29% and a peak area CV between 0.32% and 4.86%. Significant differences (P < 0.05) among three groups (normal, Hb H and beta thalassemia) were found in the area ratio of alpha/pre-beta+beta applying the rapid elution procedure, while P >= 0.05 was obtained between the normal and a thalassemia silent/trait group. Based on the ANOVA results, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of the delta/beta and alpha/pre-beta+beta area ratios showed a sensitivity of 100.0%, and a specificity of 100.0% for indicating beta thalassemia carriers, and a sensitivity of 96.6% and a specificity of 89.6% for the prediction of hemoglobin H (Hb H) disease. The proposed cut-off was 0.026 of delta/beta for beta thalassemia carriers and 0.626 of alpha/pre-beta+beta for Hb H disease. In addition, abnormal hemoglobin hemoglobin E (Hb E) and Hb Westmead (Hb WS) were successfully identified using this RP-HPLC method. Our experience in developing this RP-HPLC method for the rapid separation of human globin chains could be of use for similar work. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
