Targeted Metabolite Profiling Using LC-MS/MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For detecting metabolites, a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer (TSQ Vantage,
Thermo Scientific) coupled to an HPLC was used, which allows one to detect each
metabolite simultaneously using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Metabolites
were separated chromatographically using a Synergi Fusion column (150 × 2.0 mm,
4 μm, Phenomenex), using a Shimadzu Prominence HPLC (high-performance liquid
chromatography) autosampler coupled to the mass spectrometer. Extracted
metabolites were measured using targeted LC-MS/MS methods, detailed method
described previously 23 (link)42 (link). A library of common metabolites was
constructed using standards, and metabolites were detected using a TSQ Vantage
(Thermo Scientific) triple quadrupole-linear ion trap mass spectrometer for
quantitative optimized detection of daughter ions upon collision-induced
fragmentation of the parent ion. For each metabolite, parameters for
quantitation of the two most abundant daughter ions (that is, two MRMs per
metabolite) were included. To quantify metabolites, the area under each peak was
quantitated by using the Xcaliber software, inspected for accuracy, and
normalized against total ion count, after which relative amounts were
quantified.

The PAs in the samples were measured using a LC-MS/MS system consisting of an UHPLC (Ultimate 3000, Thermo Scientific, San Jose, CA, USA) and a Triple Stage Quadrupole mass spectrometer (TSQ Vantage, Thermo Scientific, San Jose, CA, USA), as described previously with minor modifications [21 (link)]. Briefly, chromatographic separation was achieved on 150 × 2.1 mm, 1.9 μm particle sizes, C18 Hypersil Gold column fitted with a guard column (Thermo Scientific, Dreieich, Germany). Eluent A was 100% water with 0.1% formic acid and 5 mM of ammonium formate. Eluent B was 95% methanol and 5% water with 0.1% formic acid and 5 mM of ammonium formate. A stepwise gradient elution was conducted as follows: 0–0.5 min for 95% A/5% B, 7.0 min for 50% A/50% B, 7.5 min for 20% A/80% B, 7.6–9.0 min for 100% B and 9.1–15 min for 95% A/ 5% B. A flow rate of 300 μL/minute was applied and 10 μL of each sample was injected. The column temperature was maintained at 40 °C. Details of the mass parameters are listed in supporting data S1, Table S1.

Targeted analysis of lipid species was performed with Thermo Xcalibur 4.0 QF2 (ThermoFisher Scientific) using Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) Mass Spectometry (MS)20 (link). A Triversa NanoMate (Advion, Ithaca, NY, USA) was used to infuse samples onto a TSQ Vantage triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, USA). MRM-MS was used to identify and quantify lipid species as previously described48 (link). Data were converted and quantified relative to standard curves of internal standards that were incorporated to the samples before extraction. At least three independent biological replicates were analyzed, each of which was measured twice with three measurement cycles, leading to six technical replicates. Concentration values of lipid species were normalized to the total amount of inorganic phosphate as determined by colorimetric quantification with ammonium molybdate and ascorbic acid of pentachloroacetic acid hydrolyzed total lipid aliquots. To analyze the significance of the fold difference of each lipid species between two conditions, we performed an paired, two-tailed student’s t-test.

To determine the bioavailability of compound 5a after i.p. injections, 12 WT mice were injected with 20 mg/kg of compound 5a and sacrificed at 12 successive time points. After decapitation, blood was sampled and transferred into BD Microtainer® SST tubes (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Plymouth, UK). Plasma was obtained according to the manufacturer’s protocol and stored at −80 °C.
Using an optimized Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), compound 5a was subsequently quantified in plasma. In short, proteins were precipitated using liquid/liquid extraction with ethyl acetate and supernatant was transferred into 40 µL DMSO/water/acetonitrile (12/44/44). Thereupon, UPLC separation was performed using a C18 column (HSS T3, Waters, Guyancourt, France) and a gradient mobile phase (acetonitrile and water with 0.1% formic acid), followed by triple quadrupole MS (TSQ Vantage, Thermo Scientific) with electrospray ionization. All samples were analyzed in triplicate.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SRM-based targeted quantification using 18O-based reference22 was performed for 39 selected proteins. The peptides and SRM transitions was selected and screened as previously described22 , and were listed in Supplemental Table 7. At least 6 transitions of each peptide were monitored in initial screening to ensure the confident identification and detection of the targeted peptides. The best two transitions (without interference) for each peptide were selected for final quantification. The predicted collision energies from Skyline were used for all peptides. Prior to LC-SRM analyses, the 18O-labeled reference sample was spiked into each peptide sample in 1:1 mixing ratio. All peptide samples were analyzed on a Waters nanoACQUITY UPLC system (Waters Corporation, Milford MA) directly coupled to coupled on-line to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (TSQ Vantage; Thermo Fisher Scientific) using a 25-cm-long, 75-μm-inner diameter fused silica capillary column. 1 μl aliquots of each sample containing ~ 0.5 μg/μl peptides were injected onto the analytical column with a 40-min linear gradient of 10–50% acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid. A fixed dwell time of 10 ms and a scan window of 0.002 m/z were employed. All datasets were analyzed by Skyline software. The peak area ratios were used for the evaluation of protein abundance changes.

SRM/MRM Assay on a Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer for Individual Fragment Peptides

SRM is a MS-based technique for the targeted detection and quantification of previously selected proteotypic peptides with defined fragmentation properties detectable in a highly complex background such as blood-derived serum or plasma.

The quantitative SRM assay described in the following was developed to measure the quantitative levels of unmodified histone-derived peptides generated by tryptic digestion of plasma or serum proteins.

Specific peptides derived from histone H4 and histone H2A, referred to as H4 and H2A, were detected by LC-MS/MS technology (TSQ vantage and TSQ Quantiva mass spectrometers (MS); ThermoFisher Scientific). Identified peptide sequences and fragmentation ions thereof, so-called transitions, for each peptide were found to be useful surrogates for monitoring H4 and H2A protein levels in a blood sample.

Optimization was done on recombinant proteins purchased from Sigma. All possible tryptic peptides were screened and best peptides regarding signal to noise were selected (see Tables 4 and 5). Optimal retention time, dwell time and collision energy for at least 4 best transitions were set up.

Relative quantification and/or absolute quantification can be performed on clinical samples and assay performances were evaluated using Normal curves or Reverse curves.

SRM assays were developed on a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer (TSQ Vantage; Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) using a nanoelectrospray ionization source (nano-ESI, Proxeon Biosystems, FL), as previously described [52 (link)]. Briefly, a 60-minute, three-step gradient was used to load peptides onto the column via an EASY-nLC pump (Proxeon Biosystems, FL), and peptides were analyzed by a multiplexed SRM method using the following parameters: predicted CE values, 0.002 m/z scan width, 0.01 s scan time, 0.3 Q1, 0.7 Q3, 1.5 mTorr Q2 pressure and tuned tube lens values. Quantification, in SF set I, was executed after normalization against a set of 4 peptides corresponding to 2 housekeeping proteins (Table 2), to offset technical variations. Each sample was analyzed in duplicate, using a 60-minute method, whereby 63 transitions were monitored. Quantification in SF set II was executed following normalization against the added heavy-labelled peptides, as described earlier. Each sample was analyzed in duplicate, using a 60-minute method, whereby 114 transitions were monitored. Reproducibility of the SRM signal was confirmed by running a quality control solution of 0.1 fmol/μL BSA, every 10 runs.
