Microdialysis samples were analyzed using a 1290Ⅱ ultra-high performance liquid chromatograph (Agilent) and a 6470A triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Agilent). The liquid phase determination conditions for Schisandra lignans were consistent with those described in Section 2.4. For the neurotransmitter substances, UPLC separation was carried out on a Venusil ASB C18 (5 μm, 4.6 × 250 mm) column maintained at 35 °C and with a flow rate of 0.5 mL min−1. Mobile phases consisted of 0.12% formic acid-water (A) and 0.06% formic acid-(80% methanol-water) (B). The elution gradient of B was as follows: 0–2 min, 20%–22% B; 2–8 min, 22%–24% B; 8–9 min, 24%–100% B; 9–14 min, 100% B; 14–15 min, 100%–20% B; 15–18 min, 20% B.
Mass spectrometry analysis utilized an AJS ESI jet point spray ionization source. In the multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM), 15 lignan components and four neurotransmitters were quantified in the positive mode. The parameters were optimized as follows: sheath temperature: 350°C; sheath flow rate: 11 L min−1; dry gas temperature: 300°C; dry gas flow rate: 10 L min−1; capillary voltage: 4,000 V; nozzle voltage: 2000 V; nebulizer pressure: 40 Psi; EMV: 200 V. The specific mass spectrometry parameters can be found in Supplementary Table S1.

Quantitative Polyamine Analysis in ESCC Cells

The ESCC cells with/without Fn infection for 24 h were collected in 80% aqueous methanol. After ultrasonic treatment, the lysates were centrifuged, and the supernatant was dried and dissolved in 50 μL of 100 mM sodium carbonate. The chemical derivatization was initiated after adding 50 μL of 2% benzoyl chloride in acetonitrile. After derivatization, the sample was isometrically mixed with benzoyl-13C6 chloride-derivatized standards (as internal standards) prior to ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS/MS) analysis. The UHPLC-MS/MS analysis was performed on an Agilent 1290 Infinity II UHPLC system coupled to a 6470A Triple Quadrupole mass spectrometer (Agilent, Santa Clara, United States).
The reagents used to prepare for standard solution, such as l-arginine, l-ornithine, putrescine, spermine, and spermidine, were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. N1-acetylspermidine and N1-acetylspermine were purchased from Shanghai Yuanye Bio-Technology Co (Shanghai, China).

The frozen muscle tissue samples (25 ± 2 mg), spiked with 200 µL of cold methanol, were homogenized in a frozen state by a TissueLyser (JX-24; Jingxin, Shanghai, China) with beads at 40 Hz for 4 min. After centrifugation (15,000× g and 4 • C) for 15 min, the whole supernatant was evaporated to dryness under nitrogen gas, and the dried residues were derivatized at room temperature for 10 min after additions of 50 µL sodium carbonate and 50 µL benzoyl chloride (2%). The derivatized samples were isometrically mixed with a stable isotope labeled according to internal standards. The quality control (QC) sample was obtained by isometrically pooling all the prepared samples. A solution of multiple standards with 5 µM was prepared by mixing a single standard stock solution. The calibration curve solutions were obtained by serially diluting the mixed standard working solution and isometrically mixing with internal standards, respectively. The samples of the calibration curve covered a range of 0.01-5 µM. The samples were detected and analyzed by using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) analysis, which was performed on an Agilent 1290 Infinity II UHPLC system (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) coupled to a 6470A Triple Quadrupole mass spectrometer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
