Abstract
Simultaneous analysis of multiple phosphorylated metabolites (phosphorylated metabolome) in biological samples is vital to reveal their physiological and pathophysiological functions, which is extremely challenging due to their low abundance in some biological matrices, high hydrophilicity, and poor chromatographic behavior. Here, we developed a new method with ion-pair reversed-phase ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry using BEH C18 columns modified with hybrid surface technology. This method demonstrated good performances for various phosphorylated metabolites, including phosphorylated sugars and amino acids, nucleotides, NAD-based cofactors, and acyl-CoAs in a single run using standard LC systems. Specifically, the method showed good retention (capacity factor > 2) and reproducibility (ΔtR < 0.09 min, n = 6), peak symmetry (tailing factor < 2), and sensitivity (limit-of-detection < 238 fmol-on-column with QTOFMS) for all tested analytes especially for the medium- and/or long-chain acyl-CoAs. The method demonstrated reproducible applicability across numerous biological matrices, including tissue (liver), human biofluids (urine, plasma), cells, and feces, and revealed significant molecular phenotypic differences in phosphorylated metabolite composition.
期刊介绍:
Analytical Chemistry, a peer-reviewed research journal, focuses on disseminating new and original knowledge across all branches of analytical chemistry. Fundamental articles may explore general principles of chemical measurement science and need not directly address existing or potential analytical methodology. They can be entirely theoretical or report experimental results. Contributions may cover various phases of analytical operations, including sampling, bioanalysis, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, microscale and nanoscale systems, environmental analysis, separations, spectroscopy, chemical reactions and selectivity, instrumentation, imaging, surface analysis, and data processing. Papers discussing known analytical methods should present a significant, original application of the method, a notable improvement, or results on an important analyte.
