Simultaneous Determination of 34 Amino Acids in Tumor Tissues from Colorectal Cancer Patients Based on the Targeted UHPLC-MS/MS Method.

ABSTRACT: A targeted ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method was established and validated for the simultaneous determination of 34 amino acids in tissue samples from colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The chromatographic separation was achieved on an Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 column (3.0?×?150?mm, 5??m) with a binary gradient elution system (A, 0.02% heptafluorobutyric acid and 0.2% formic acid in water, v/v; B, methanol). The run time was 10?min. The multiple reaction monitoring mode was chosen with an electrospray ionization source operating in the positive ionization mode for data acquisition. The linear correlation coefficients were >0.99 for all the analytes in their corresponding calibration ranges. The sample was pretreated based on tissue homogenate and protein precipitation with a 100?mg aliquot sample. The average recovery and matrix effect for 34 amino acids and 3 internal standards were 39.00%?146.95% and 49.45%?173.63%, respectively. The intra- and interday accuracy for all the analytes ranged from -13.52% to 14.21% (RSD ?8.57%) and from -14.52% to 12.59% (RSD ?10.31%), respectively. Deviations of stability under different conditions were within ±15% for all the analytes. This method was applied to simultaneous quantification of 34 amino acids in tissue samples from 94 CRC patients.

Project description:One-carbon folate metabolites and one-carbon-related amino acids play an important role in human physiology, and their detection in biological samples is essential. However, poor stability as well as low concentrations and occurrence in different species in various biological samples make their quantification very challenging. The aim of this study was to develop a simple, fast, and sensitive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography MS/MS (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of various one-carbon folate metabolites (folic acid (FA), tetrahydrofolic acid (THF), p-aminobenzoyl-L-glutamic acid (pABG), 5-formyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-CHOTHF), 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-CH3THF), 10-formylfolic acid (10-CHOFA), 5,10-methenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid (5,10-CH+-THF), and 4-α-hydroxy-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (hmTHF)) and one-carbon-related amino acids (homocysteine (Hcy), methionine (Met), S-ade-L-homocysteine (SAH), and S-ade-L-methionine (SAM)). The method was standardized and validated by determining the selectivity, carryover, limits of detection, limits of quantitation, linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, and matrix effects. The extraction methods were optimized with respect to several factors: protease-amylase treatment on embryos, deconjugation time, methanol precipitation, and proteins' isoelectric point precipitation on the folate recovery. Ten one-carbon folate metabolites and four one-carbon-related amino acids were detected using the UHPLC-MS/MS technique in various biological samples. The measured values of folate in human plasma, serum, and whole blood (WB) lay within the concentration range for normal donors. The contents of each analyte in mouse plasma were as follows: pABG (864.0 nmol/L), 5-CH3THF (202.2 nmol/L), hmTHF (122.2 nmol/L), Met (8.63 μmol/L), and SAH (0.06 μmol/L). The concentration of each analyte in mouse embryos were as follows: SAM (1.09 μg/g), SAH (0.13 μg/g), Met (16.5 μg/g), 5,10-CH+THF (74.3 ng/g), pABG (20.6 ng/g), and 5-CH3THF (185.4 ng/g). A simple and rapid sample preparation and UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of the one-carbon-related folate metabolites and one-carbon-related amino acids in different biological samples.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Millions of adults have been reported with hyperlipemia in the world. It is still unclear whether the plasma level of essential amino acids (AAs) will be influenced by the hyperlipemia. This study was aimed to investigate the AAs levels and the underlying metabolic relationship in hyperlipidemic subjects. METHODS:An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of phenylalanine (Phe), valine (Val), histidine (His), tryptophan (Trp), and methionine (Met). Plasma samples (100??L) were precipitated by acetonitrile (300??L) and analyzed on a BEH C18 (2.1?mm?×?100?mm, 1.7??m) column at 40?°C by gradient elution. The mobile phase composed of 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile was used with flow rate at 0.2-0.4?ml/0-3?min. Five AAs were determined at positive electrospray ionization (ESI+) at m/z 118.1/72.1 (Val), 150.12/104.02(Met), 156.06/110.05(His), 166.1/120.1(Phe), and 205.2/188.02 (Trp). A total of 75 healthy subjects and 83 hyperlipidemic subjects, who had blood routine test and plasma lipid test were determined by developed UPLC-MS/MS. RESULTS:It was shown that there was good linearity for Val, Met, His, Phe, and Trp within 1-100??g/mL. The relative standard deviations of precision and accuracy were all within 15%. The level of Val, Phe, Trp, His, and Met were 35.34?±?15.64, 22.72?±?9.13, 17.23?±?4.94, 16.78?±?13.64, and 6.24?±?1.97??g/mL in healthy subjects, while they were 38.04?±?16.70, 22.41?±?8.45, 15.62?±?5.77, 18.35?±?14.49, and 6.21?±?1.97??g/mL in hyperlipidemic subjects respectively. The Spearman's correlations analysis showed that there were high correlations between Val, Phe, Trp, His, Met and triglyceride in healthy subjects. While, those correlations decreased in hyperlipemia cases. CONCLUSION:A convenient and sensitive method for simultaneous determination of Val, Phe, Trp, His, and Met in human plasma was developed. There was a high correlation between Val, Phe, Trp, His, Met and triglyceride. Hyperlipemia influences the metabolic balance of His, Phe, Trp, Met and Val.
