This study utilized tandem fast protein liquid chromatography to isolate THP from urine, comparing its efficiency and purity with two conventional methods. The results showed that the tandem FPLC system is most effective for selectively purifying monomeric and aggregated forms of THP, while diatomaceous earth adsorption is preferred for general purification.
Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) is a high-abundance urinary protein. Although its functions have been studied for years, several aspects of these remain unclear. To achieve more knowledge on THP functions, an effective isolation/purification method providing a high yield and high purity is required. This is the first report that applied tandem fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) (by combining Mono Q anion-exchange with Superdex 200 size-exclusion columns in a tandem manner) to isolate intact THP from human urine. Its efficiency was then systematically compared with that of two conventional methods, diatomaceous earth (DE) adsorption and salt precipitation. The first ever systematic comparisons among the three methods revealed that, while Mono Q-Superdex 200 tandem FPLC offered the lowest %yield and was most time-consuming, it provided substantially high %purity and could selectively purify the monomeric and aggregated forms of urinary THP. On the other hand, DE adsorption provided the highest %yield and %purity, whereas salt precipitation offered the lowest %purity. In summary, the tandem FPLC system is most useful for selective purification of the monomeric and aggregated forms of urinary THP for further functional study, whereas DE adsorption remains the method of choice for general purification of THP from human urine.
