A Novel Solid Phase Extraction Sample Preparation Method for Lipidomic Analysis of Human Plasma Using Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: Lipidomic approaches are widely used to investigate the relationship between lipids, human health, and disease. Conventional sample preparation techniques for the extraction of lipids from biological matrices like human plasma are based on liquid-liquid extraction (LLE). However, these methods are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and can show poor reproducibility and selectivity on lipid extraction. A novel, solid-phase extraction (SPE) approach was demonstrated to extract lipids from human plasma using a lipid extraction SPE in both cartridge and 96-well-plate formats, followed by analysis using a combination of targeted and untargeted liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. The Lipid Extraction SPE method was compared to traditional LLE methods for lipid class recovery, lipidome coverage, and reproducibility. The novel SPE method used a simplified protocol with significant time and labor savings and provided equivalent or better qualitative and quantitative results than traditional LLE methods with respect to several critical performance metrics; recovery, reproducibility, and lipidome coverage.

Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Metabolic and Lipidomic Sample Preparation Workflow for Suspension-Cultured Mammalian Cells using Jurkat T lymphocyte Cells.

Project description:Metabolomics is the comprehensive study of metabolism as it pertains to an organism or biological system. Lipidomics, a subset discipline of metabolomics, encompasses the study of cellular lipid functions: including pathways, networks, and interactions. The abundance of metabolites and lipids, along with their contribution to health and disease, makes metabolomics a valuable tool for biomarker research. Disease biomarker identification requires a reproducible, sensitive, and accurate analytical platform. Although transcriptomic and proteomic areas have well-established protocols for sample preparation and data processing, the metabolomics field is still developing comparable standardized conventions. Furthermore, of the few comparative LC-MS metabolomic studies that have been applied to mammalian cell cultures, most are targeted to adherent cell lines. The purpose of this work was to optimize a sample preparation workflow for the cellular metabolomic analysis of suspension-cultured mammalian cells using commercially available Jurkat T lymphocytes as a model system. The current investigation evaluated commonly used sample preparation techniques for reproducibility, accuracy, and applicability to untargeted biomarker discovery. Results show ammoniated cell rinsing solutions to be an effective means to remove extracellular components present in the media without causing ion suppression or affecting the integrity of the cellular membrane. Additionally, a novel workflow was designed to allow for the combined analysis of metabolites and lipids from mammalian suspension cells from a single cell pellet. The Folch lipid extraction protocol was coupled to an 80% MeOH metabolite isolation to ensure high extraction efficiency for phospholipids and triacylglycerides. While the workflow was tailored to cells in suspension, it could also be applied to adherent cell lines.

Automated Coupling of Nanodroplet Sample Preparation with Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry for High-Throughput Single-Cell Proteomics.

Project description:Single-cell proteomics can provide critical biological insight into the cellular heterogeneity that is masked by bulk-scale analysis. We have developed a nanoPOTS (nanodroplet processing in one pot for trace samples) platform and demonstrated its broad applicability for single-cell proteomics. However, because of nanoliter-scale sample volumes, the nanoPOTS platform is not compatible with automated LC-MS systems, which significantly limits sample throughput and robustness. To address this challenge, we have developed a nanoPOTS autosampler allowing fully automated sample injection from nanowells to LC-MS systems. We also developed a sample drying, extraction, and loading workflow to enable reproducible and reliable sample injection. The sequential analysis of 20 samples containing 10 ng tryptic peptides demonstrated high reproducibility with correlation coefficients of >0.995 between any two samples. The nanoPOTS autosampler can provide analysis throughput of 9.6, 16, and 24 single cells per day using 120, 60, and 30 min LC gradients, respectively. As a demonstration for single-cell proteomics, the autosampler was first applied to profiling protein expression in single MCF10A cells using a label-free approach. At a throughput of 24 single cells per day, an average of 256 proteins was identified from each cell and the number was increased to 731 when the Match Between Runs algorithm of MaxQuant was used. Using a multiplexed isobaric labeling approach (TMT-11plex), ∼77 single cells could be analyzed per day. We analyzed 152 cells from three acute myeloid leukemia cell lines, resulting in a total of 2558 identified proteins with 1465 proteins quantifiable (70% valid values) across the 152 cells. These data showed quantitative single-cell proteomics can cluster cells to distinct groups and reveal functionally distinct differences.

Lipidomic profiling of targeted oxylipins with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Project description:Oxylipins are bioactive mediators that play diverse roles in (patho)physiology. We developed a sensitive and selective ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous profiling of 57 targeted oxylipins derived from five major n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that serve as oxylipin precursors, including linoleic (LA), arachidonic (AA), alpha-linolenic (ALA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA), and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids. The targeted oxylipin panel provides broad coverage of lipid mediators and pathway markers generated from cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, cytochrome P450 epoxygenases/hydroxylases, and non-enzymatic oxidation pathways. The method is based on combination of protein precipitation and solid-phase extraction (SPE) for sample preparation, followed by UPLC-MS/MS. This is the first methodology to incorporate four hydroxy-epoxy-octadecenoic acids and four keto-epoxy-octadecenoic acids into an oxylipin profiling network. The novel method achieves excellent resolution and allows in-depth analysis of isomeric and isobaric species of oxylipin extracts in biological samples. The method was quantitatively characterized in human plasma with good linearity (R?=?0.990-0.999), acceptable reproducibility (relative standard deviation (RSD)?<?20% for the majority of analytes), accuracy (67.8 to 129.3%) for all analytes, and recovery (66.8-121.2%) for all analytes except 5,6-EET. Ion enhancement effects for 28% of the analytes in tested concentrations were observed in plasma, but were reproducible with RSD?<?17.2%. Basal levels of targeted oxylipins determined in plasma and serum are in agreement with those previously reported in literature. The method has been successfully applied in clinical and preclinical studies.

An Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method with Online Solid-Phase Extraction Sample Preparation for the High-Throughput and Sensitive Determination of Ostarine in Human Urine.

Project description:Ostarine is frequently misused as a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) in sports. Consequently, there is a pressing need for reliable and simple approaches to monitor its presence in biological systems. In this work, we developed a two-dimensional analytical method utilizing online solid-phase extraction (online-SPE) in conjunction with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (triple quadrupole). This automated 2D separation approach is characterized by minimum manual steps in the sample preparation (only dilute-and-shoot), reflecting high sample throughput and the reliability of analytical data. It provides favorable performance parameters, including a limit of detection of 0.5 pg/mL, high accuracy (relative error = 1.6-7.5%), precision (relative standard deviation = 0.8-4.5%), and sensitivity. Additionally, it demonstrates excellent linearity (r2 = 0.9999) in the calibration range of 0.05 to 25 ng/mL and robustness, with no carryover effects observed. This comparative study revealed a two-decadic-order-lower LOD of the SPE-UHPLC-MS/MS method to the corresponding UHPLC-MS/MS method and the lowest one in the group of currently published LC-MS methods. The World Anti-Doping Agency screening and confirmation criteria were met through the analysis of spiked urine samples from ten healthy volunteers. Accordingly, the proposed method is suitable for routine use in antidoping laboratories.

Solid-phase extraction and fractionation of multiclass pollutants from wastewater followed by liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry analysis.

Project description:Herein, we describe a modular solid-phase extraction (SPE) setup, combining three sorbents, for the effective extraction of neutrals, acidic, and basic micropollutants from wastewater, followed by their further elution in three independent extracts. The performance of this approach was demonstrated for a suite of 64 compounds, corresponding to different chemical families, using liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Target compounds were effectively extracted from wastewater samples; moreover, 62 out of 64 species were isolated in just one of the three fractions (neutrals, acids, and bases) obtained from the combination of sorbents. Globally, the efficiency and the selectivity of the SPE methodology improved the features obtained using generic SPE polymers, displaying just reversed-phase interactions. The overall recoveries of the analytical method, calculated against solvent-based calibration standards, stayed between 80 and 120% for 57 and 60 compounds, in raw and treated wastewater, respectively. Procedural limits of quantification (LOQs) varied from 1 to 20 ng L-1. Analysis of urban wastewater samples identified a group of 19 pollutants showing either negligible median removal efficiencies (± 20%) during wastewater treatment, or even a noticeable enhancement (case of the biodegradation product of the drug valsartan), which might be useful as markers of wastewater discharges in the aquatic environment.

Lipidomic alteration of plasma in cured COVID-19 patients using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography with high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Project description:The pandemic of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a serious public health crisis worldwide. The symptoms of COVID-19 vary from mild to severe among different age groups, but the physiological changes related to COVID-19 are barely understood. In the present study, a high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS)-based lipidomic strategy was used to characterize the endogenous plasma lipids for cured COVID-19 patients with different ages and symptoms. These patients were further divided into two groups: those with severe symptoms or who were elderly and relatively young patients with mild symptoms. In addition, automated lipidomic identification and alignment was conducted by LipidSearch software. Multivariate and univariate analyses were used for differential comparison. Nearly 500 lipid compounds were identified in each cured COVID-19 group through LipidSearch software. At the level of lipid subclasses, patients with severe symptoms or elderly patients displayed dramatic changes in plasma lipidomic alterations, such as increased triglycerides and decreased cholesteryl esters (ChE). Some of these differential lipids might also have essential biological functions. Furthermore, the differential analysis of plasma lipids among groups was performed to provide potential prognostic indicators, and the change in signaling pathways. Dyslipidemia was observed in cured COVID-19 patients due to the viral infection and medical treatment, and the discharged patients should continue to undergo consolidation therapy. This work provides valuable knowledge about plasma lipid markers and potential therapeutic targets of COVID-19 and essential resources for further research on the pathogenesis of COVID-19.

Comparison of Sample Preparation and Determination of 60 Veterinary Drug Residues in Flatfish Using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:This study was performed to optimize the analytical method for multi-residues of 60 compounds in flatfish samples. Three sample preparation methods were tested to identify the optimal recovery conditions for target analytes. As a result, 10 mL of water/acetonitrile (1:4, v/v) was used to extract analytes from fish samples. For purification, C18 and 10 mL of acetonitrile saturated hexane were used to treat the samples. After evaporation and reconstitution, the fish samples were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The proposed method was validated according to the CODEX guidelines (CAC/GL-71). Our results showed the recoveries of 73.2%-115% and coefficients of variation of 1.6%-22.1%. The limit of quantification was 0.0005-0.005 mg/kg in the fishery products. In analysis of real samples, no samples exceeded the limit of quantification. This analytical method can be used for multi-residue screening and confirmation of the residues of veterinary drugs in fishery products.

Biphasic Liquid Microjunction Extraction for Profiling Neuronal RNA Modifications by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:RNA modifications are emerging as critical players in the spatiotemporal regulation of gene expression. Although liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) enables the simultaneous quantification of numerous enzymatically modified RNAs in a biological sample, conventional RNA extraction and enzymatic digestion protocols that are employed prior to analysis have precluded the application of this technique for small-volume samples. In this study, a biphasic liquid microjunction (LMJ) extraction system using coaxial capillaries that direct and aspirate extraction solvents onto a ∼350 μm diameter sample spot was developed and applied for the extraction of RNA from individual cell clusters in the central nervous system of the marine mollusk Aplysia californica. To maximize RNA recoveries, optimized extraction solvents consisting of 10% methanol and chloroform were evaluated under dynamic and static extraction conditions. An MS-compatible RNA digestion buffer was developed to minimize the number of sample-transfer steps and facilitate the direct enzymatic digestion of extracted RNA within the sample collection tube. Compared to RNA extraction using a conventional phenol-chloroform method, the LMJ-based method provided a 3-fold greater coverage of the neuronal epitranscriptome for similar amounts of tissues and also produced mRNA of sufficient purity for reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction amplification. Using this approach, the expression of RNA-modifying enzymes in a given neuronal cell cluster can be characterized and simultaneously correlated with the LC-MS/MS analysis of RNA modifications within the same subset of neurons.

Lipidomic analysis of twenty-seven prostanoids and isoprostanes by liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry.

Project description:Prostanoids are potent mediators of many physiological and pathophysiological processes. Of the many analytical methodologies used for their qualitative and quantitative analysis, electrospray tandem mass spectrometry coupled to liquid chromatography (LC/ESI-MS/MS) offers a rapid, sensitive and versatile system applicable to lipidomic analyses. We have developed an LC/ESI-MS/MS assay for twenty-seven mediators including prostaglandins, prostacyclines, thromboxanes, dihydroprostaglandins and isoprostanes. The assay was liner over the concentration range 1-100 pg/microL. The limits of detection and quantitation were 0.5-50 and 2-100 pg, respectively, whilst recoveries were from 83-116% depending on the metabolite. The assay can be applied to the profiling of prostanoids produced by a variety of biological fluids and extracts including brain, liver, plasma and urine, thus facilitating our understanding of the role of these lipid mediators in health and disease, as well as assisting in drug development.

Site-Specific Glycan Heterogeneity Characterization by Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography Solid-Phase Extraction, Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography Fractionation, and Capillary Zone Electrophoresis-Electrospray Ionization-Tandem Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Reversed-phase chromatographic separation of glycopeptides tends to be dominated by the peptide composition. In contrast, capillary zone electrophoresis separation of glycopeptides is particularly sensitive to the sialic acid composition of the glycan. In this paper, we combine the two techniques to achieve superior N-glycopeptide analysis. Glycopeptides were first isolated from a tryptic digest using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) solid-phase extraction. The glycopeptides were separated using reversed-phase ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) to generate four fractions corresponding to different peptide backbones. Capillary zone electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-ESI-MS/MS) was used to analyze the fractions. We applied this method for the analysis of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP). A total of 268 site-specific N-glycopeptides were detected, representing eight different glycosylation sites from two isomers of AGP. Glycans included tetra-sialic acids with multi N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) repeats and unusual pentasialylated terminal sialic acids. Reversed-phase UHPLC coupled with CZE generated ∼35% more N-glycopeptides than direct reversed-phase UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis and ∼70% more N-glycopeptides than direct CZE-ESI-MS/MS analysis. This approach is a promising tool for global, site-specific glycosylation analysis of highly heterogeneous glycoproteins with mass-limited samples.
