The study of glycoproteins is a rapidly growing field, which is not surprising considering that approximately 70% of human proteins are glycosylated and that numerous biological functions are associated to the glycosylation. In this work, our interest focused on the heterodimeric human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) glycoprotein that is the specific hormone of the human pregnancy, consisting of an alpha and beta 13 subunit, so-called hCG alpha and hCG beta, respectively. This protein possesses a very high structural heterogeneity, essentially due to the presence of 8 glycosylation sites, but also other types of post-translational modifications. In this study, for the first time, the potential of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) was investigated to separate the intact hCG isoforms. Three different HILIC stationary phases were tested using an hCG-based drug as standard, a recombinant hCG. For each stationary phase, the effect of the initial mobile phase composition based on ACN/H2O mixture, the slope of the gradient, the content and nature of the acidic additive (formic acid and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)), and the addition of a volatile salt (ammonium formate) on the retention and the resolution were studied. The best HILIC separation was obtained with the amide column and a mobile phase composed of water/ACN containing 0.1% of TFA. The repeatability in terms of retention times and peak areas was then assessed. Finally, the method was applied to the analysis of a second hCG-based drug obtained from urine of pregnant women. Both drugs gave chromatograms with more than 10 peaks. However, they were significantly different, which demonstrated the potential of HILIC method for hCG isoform fingerprinting.
