Abstract
Real-time tissue classifiers based on molecular patterns are emerging tools for fast tumor diagnosis. Here, we used rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) and multivariate statistical analysis (principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis) to classify tissues with subsequent comparison to gold standard histopathology. We explored whether REIMS lipid patterns can identify human liver tumors and improve the rapid characterization of their underlying metabolic features. REIMS-based classification of liver parenchyma (LP), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and metastatic adenocarcinoma (MAC) reached an accuracy of 98.3%. Lipid patterns of LP were more similar to those of HCC than to those of MAC and allowed clear distinction between primary and metastatic liver tumors. HCC lipid patterns were more heterogeneous than those of MAC, which is consistent with the variation seen in the histopathological phenotype. A common ceramide pattern discriminated necrotic from viable tumor in MAC with 92.9% accuracy and in other human tumors. Targeted analysis of ceramide and related sphingolipid mass features in necrotic tissues may provide a new classification of tumor cell death based on metabolic shifts. Real-time lipid patterns may have a role in future clinical decision-making in cancer precision medicine.

Arsenate-Induced Changes in Bacterial Metabolite and Lipid Pools during Phosphate Stress. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:AEM.02261-20. [PMID: 33361371 DOI: 10.1128/aem.02261-20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 12/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Agrobacterium tumefaciens GW4 is a heterotrophic arsenite-oxidizing bacterium with a high resistance to arsenic toxicity. It is now a model organism for studying the processes of arsenic detoxification and utilization. Previously, we demonstrated that under low-phosphate conditions, arsenate [As(V)] could enhance bacterial growth and be incorporated into biomolecules, including lipids. While the basic microbial As(V) resistance mechanisms have been characterized, global metabolic responses under low phosphate remain largely unknown. In the present work, the impacts of As(V) and low phosphate on intracellular metabolite and lipid profiles of GW4 were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) in combination with transcriptional assays and the analysis of intracellular ATP and NADH levels. Metabolite profiling revealed that oxidative stress response pathways were altered and suggested an increase in DNA repair. Changes in metabolite levels in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle along with increased ATP are consistent with As(V)-enhanced growth of A. tumefaciens GW4. Lipidomics analysis revealed that most glycerophospholipids decreased in abundance when As(V) was available. However, several glycerolipid classes increased, an outcome that is consistent with maximizing growth via a phosphate-sparing phenotype. Differentially regulated lipids included phosphotidylcholine and lysophospholipids, which have not been previously reported in A. tumefaciens The metabolites and lipids identified in this study deepen our understanding of the interplay between phosphate and arsenate on chemical and metabolic levels.IMPORTANCE Arsenic is widespread in the environment and is one of the most ubiquitous environmental pollutants. Parodoxically, the growth of certain bacteria is enhanced by arsenic when phosphate is limited. Arsenate and phosphate are chemically similar, and this behavior is believed to represent a phosphate-sparing phenotype in which arsenate is used in place of phosphate in certain biomolecules. The research presented here uses a global approach to track metabolic changes in an environmentally relevant bacterium during exposure to arsenate when phosphate is low. Our findings are relevant for understanding the environmental fate of arsenic as well as how human-associated microbiomes respond to this common toxin.

Abstract
Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) in human blood samples is a marker for alcohol usage. Typically, PEth is detected by reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with negative ion tandem mass spectrometry, investigating the fatty acyl anions released from the precursor ion upon collision-induced dissociation (CID). It has been established that in other classes of asymmetric glycerophospholipids, the unimolecular fragmentation upon CID is biased depending on the relative position (known as sn-position) of each fatty acyl chain on the glycerol backbone. As such, the use of product ions in selected-reaction-monitoring (SRM) transitions could be prone to variability if more than one regioisomer is present in either the reference materials or the sample. Here, we have investigated the regioisomeric purity of three reference materials supplied by different vendors, labeled as PEth 16:0/18:1. Using CID coupled with ozone-induced dissociation, the regioisomeric purity (% 16:0 at sn-1) was determined to be 76, 80 and 99%. The parallel investigation of the negative ion CID mass spectra of standards revealed differences in product ion ratios for both fatty acyl chain product ions and ketene neutral loss product ions. Furthermore, investigation of the product ion abundances in CID spectra of PEth within authentic blood samples appears to indicate a limited natural variation in isomer populations between samples, with the cannonical, PEth 16:0/18:1 (16:0 at sn-1) predominant in all cases. Different reference material isomer distributions led to variation in fully automated quantification of PEth in 56 authentic dried blood spot (DBS) samples when a single quantifier ion was used. Our results suggest caution in ensuring that the regioisomeric compositions of reference materials are well-matched with those of the authentic blood samples.

Abstract
The distribution of terpinen-4-ol (TP4ol) and DMPBD inclusion complexes with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPbCD) in human skin has been investigated using the TOF-SIMS technique. TP4ol and DMPBD have been found to be major components of Zingiber cassumunar Roxb. (Plai) oil extracted by steam distillation. The results mainly show accumulation of TP4ol and DMPBD inclusion complexes with HPbCD in the epidermis and dermis whereas these two compounds without cyclodextrin cannot penetrate into the epidermis. This approach can be expanded for investigation of anti-inflammatory action and relief of muscle pain.

Abstract
Using citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) is an approach that has demonstrated broad applicability to ionization of different classes of molecules. Here, we show a simple AuNP-based approach for the ionization of neurotransmitters. Specifically, the detection of acetylcholine, dopamine, epinephrine, glutamine, 4-aminobutyric acid, norepinephrine, octopamine, and serotonin was achieved at physiologically relevant concentrations in serum and homogenized tissue. Additionally, pneumatic spraying of AuNPs onto tissue sections facilitated mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) of rabbit brain tissue sections, zebrafish embryos, and neuroblastoma cells for several neurotransmitters simultaneously using this quick and simple sample preparation. AuNP LDI-MS achieved mapping of neurotransmitters in fine structures of zebrafish embryos and neuroblastoma cells at a lateral spatial resolution of 5 μm. The use of AuNPs to ionize small aminergic neurotransmitters in situ provides a fast, high-spatial resolution method for simultaneous detection of a class of molecules that typically evade comprehensive detection with traditional matrixes.

Abstract
Lipids play an important role in coffee bean development, coffee brew and in the effects of coffee on human health. They account for around 17% of the dry bean weight and encompass different classes and subclasses, mostly triacylglycerols (TAG) and a minor quantity of phospholipids (PL) and βN-alkanoyl-5-hydroxytryptamides (C-5HT). To comprehensive profile these different lipids, it is important to evaluate extraction methods that provide high lipid coverage and to analyze the lipids in high-resolution techniques. In this work, liquid chromatography-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS) was employed to comprehensive profile lipids from green Arabica coffee beans and to evaluate the extraction efficiency and lipid coverage of three methods: Bligh-Dyer (BD), Folch (FO), and Matyash (MA). The MA method yielded the greatest number of annotated compounds (131 lipids) compared to the other methods. In the positive electrospray ionization (ESI) mode, the main difference among extraction methods was observed for TAG and diacylglycerols, whereas for the negative ESI it was observed differences for phosphatidylinositol (PI), lysophosphatidylinositol and phosphatidic acid (p < 0.05). The analysis of coffees from different maturation stages and/or post-harvest processes were also performed using the MA method. Immature beans were discriminated from mature and overripe beans by its lower levels of C-5HT, PI, phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and lysophosphatidylethanolamine. These results can help to better understand the coffee lipid composition and its association with coffee quality.

Abstract
Lipids are vital biological molecules and play multiple roles in cellular function of mammalian organisms such as cellular membrane anchoring, signal transduction, material trafficking and energy storage. Driven by the biological significance of lipids, lipidomics has become an emerging science in the field of omics. Lipidome in biological systems consists of hundreds of thousands of individual lipid molecules that possess complex structures, multiple categories, and diverse physicochemical properties assembled by different combinations of polar headgroups and hydrophobic fatty acyl chains. Such structural complexity poses a huge challenge for comprehensive lipidome analysis. Thanks to the great innovations in chromatographic separation techniques and the continuous advances in mass spectrometric detection tools, analytical strategies for lipidomics have been highly diversified so that the depth and breadth of lipidomics have been greatly enhanced. This review will present the current state of mass spectrometry-based analytical strategies including untargeted, targeted and pseudotargeted lipidomics. Recent typical applications of lipidomics in biomarker discovery, pathogenic mechanism and therapeutic strategy are summarized, and the challenges facing to the field of lipidomics are also discussed.

Abstract
Membranes within an animal are composed of phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins that together form a dynamic barrier. The types of lipids that are found within a membrane bilayer impact its biophysical properties including its fluidity, permeability, and susceptibility to damage. While membrane composition is very stable in healthy adults, aberrant membrane structure is seen in a wide and varied array of diseases as well as during natural aging. Despite the wide-reaching impacts of membrane composition, there is relatively little known about how membrane landscape is established and maintained over time. In vivo biochemical modeling of membrane lipids is needed to understand how these molecules interact in their natural configurations. Here, we have described analytical methods that increase the capacity to map the dynamics of individual membrane phospholipids using different types of mass spectrometry. Specifically, we describe novel stable isotope (13C and 15N) strategies to quantify the turnover of dozens of fatty acid tails and intact phospholipids simultaneously.

Abstract
We developed a simple and robust liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric method (LC-MS) for the quantitative analysis of 10 sterols from the late part of cholesterol synthesis (zymosterol, dehydrolathosterol, 7-dehydrodesmosterol, desmosterol, zymostenol, lathosterol, FFMAS, TMAS, lanosterol, and dihydrolanosterol) from cultured human hepatocytes in a single chromatographic run using a pentafluorophenyl (PFP) stationary phase. The method also avails on a minimized sample preparation procedure in order to obtain a relatively high sample throughput. The method was validated on 10 sterol standards that were detected in a single chromatographic LC-MS run without derivatization. Our developed method can be used in research or clinical applications for disease-related detection of accumulated cholesterol intermediates. Disorders in the late part of cholesterol synthesis lead to severe malformation in human patients. The developed method enables a simple, sensitive, and fast quantification of sterols, without the need of extended knowledge of the LC-MS technique, and represents a new analytical tool in the rising field of cholesterolomics.

Abstract
Gas-phase ion/ion reactions have been enabled on a commercial dual source, hybrid QhFT-ICR mass spectrometer for use during imaging mass spectrometry experiments. These reactions allow for the transformation of the ion type most readily generated from the tissue surface to an ion type that gives improved chemical structural information upon tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) without manipulating the tissue sample. This process is demonstrated via the charge inversion reaction of phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipid cations generated from rat brain tissue via matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) with 1,4-phenylenedipropionic acid (PDPA) reagent dianions generated via electrospray ionization (ESI). Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of the resulting demethylated PC product anions allows for the determination of the lipid fatty acyl tail identities and positions, which is not possible via CID of the precursor lipid cations. The abundance of lipid isomers revealed by this workflow is found to vary significantly in different regions of the brain. As each isoform may have a unique cellular function, these results underscore the importance of accurately separating and identifying the many isobaric and isomeric lipids and metabolites that can complicate image interpretation and spectral analysis.

Abstract
An analytical procedure for the rapid and selective derivatization of free fatty acids into methyl esters directly in plasma without transmethylation of lipid-bound fatty acids was developed for their analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The methyl esters of free fatty acids were obtained by reaction with methyl iodide in the solution of dipolar aprotic solvents and in the presence of solid bases. The mechanism of the methylation reaction with these reagents was investigated. Optimal conditions for the selective methylation of free fatty acids were established using different dipolar aprotic solvents and different solid bases. The possible transmethylation of covalently bonded fatty acids from plasma lipids has been investigated under different experimental conditions in order to be avoided. Total methylation of free fatty acids was achieved in 1 min at room temperature using methyl iodide and anhydrous potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate in dimethyl sulfoxide. Under these conditions, transmethylation of lipid-bound fatty acids was avoided. The methyl esters can be injected directly from the reaction solvents. A plasma volume of 50 μL was used without special purification. The detection limits were around 0.1 ng/μL. The proposed method avoids the drawbacks of the previous methods used for the one-step analysis of individual free fatty acids in human plasma.

Abstract
Although many metabolomics studies of higher land plant species have been conducted, similar studies of lower nonland plant species, which include microalgae, are still developing. The present study represents an attempt to characterize the metabolic profile of a microalgal diatom Chaetoceros calcitrans, by applying high-resolution mass spectrometry detection, via Q-ExactiveTM Plus Orbitrap mass spectrometry. The results showed that 54 metabolites of various classes were tentatively identified. Experimentally, the chloroform and acetone extracts were clearly distinguished from other solvent extracts in chemometric regression analysis using PLS, showing the differences in the C. calcitrans metabolome between the groups. In addition, specific metabolites were evaluated, which supported the finding of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This study also provides data on the quantitative analysis of four carotenoids based on the identification results. Therefore, these findings could serve as a reliable tool for identifying and quantifying the metabolome that could reflect the metabolic activities of C. calcitrans.

Abstract
Lipid membranes are the border between living cells and their environments. The membrane's lipid composition defines fluidity, thickness, and protein activity and is controlled by the intricate actions of lipid gene-encoded enzymes. However, a comprehensive analysis of each protein's contribution to the lipidome is lacking. Here, we present such a comprehensive and functional overview of lipid genes in Escherichia coli by individual overexpression or deletion of these genes. We developed a high-throughput lipidomic platform, combining growth analysis, one-step lipid extraction, rapid LC-MS, and bioinformatic analysis into one streamlined procedure. This allowed the processing of more than 300 samples per day and revealed interesting functions of known enzymes and distinct effects of individual proteins on the phospholipidome. Our data demonstrate the plasticity of the phospholipidome and unexpected relations between lipid classes and cell growth. Modeling of lipidomic responses to short-chain alcohols provides a rationale for targeted membrane engineering.

Abstract
Free fatty acids (FA) are a vital component of cells and are critical to cellular structure and function, so much so that alterations in FA are often associated with cell malfunction and disease. Analysis of FA from biological samples can be achieved by mass spectrometry (MS), but these analyses are often not capable of distinguishing the fine structural alterations within FA isomers and often limited to global profiling of lipids without spatial resolution. Here, we present the use of ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) for the characterization of double bond positional isomers of charge inverted dication·FA complexes and the subsequent implementation of this method for online desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) MS imaging of FA isomers from human tissue sections. This method allows relative quantification of FA isomers from heterogeneous biological tissue sections, yielding spatially resolved information about alterations in double bond isomers within these samples. Applying this method to the analysis of the monounsaturated FA 18:1 within breast cancer subtypes uncovered a correlation between double bond positional isomer abundance and the hormone receptor status of the tissue sample, an important factor in the prognosis and treatment of breast cancer patients. This result further validates similar studies that suggest FA synthase activity and FA isomer abundances are significantly altered within breast cancer tissue.

Two new glycerol esters, (S)-2-hydroxy-3-(octanoyloxy)propyl tetracosanoate (1) and (S)-3-(((S)-11-acetoxy octadecanoyl)oxy)propane-1,2-diyl diacetate (2), and eight known compounds, docosanedioic acid (3), 2,5-dimethylnonadecane (4), lupeol (5), stigmasterol (6), β-sitosterol (7), heptadecanoic acid (8), hexanedioic acid, 1,6-bis[(2R)-ethylhexyl] ester (9), and 1,3-di-O-[2',2'-di-(p-phenylene)] (10) were isolated from the leaves of Garcinia daedalanthera Pierre, collected from Indonesia. Structural analysis of the isolates was performed using 1 D- and 2 D-NMR, LC- and GC-MS, IR, polarimetry, and UV-visible spectroscopic methods. Cytotoxicity assessments, as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) analysis of the isolates, were also completed. Lupeol was the only compound found active with an IC50 value of 19.2 µM against HT-29 colon cancer cells. Significant ROS inhibition and induction activity was observed for compounds 4 and 8, respectively.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with dietary folate deficiency and mutations in genes required for one‑carbon metabolism. However, the mechanism through which this occurs is unclear. To improve our understanding of this link, we investigated liver morphology, metabolism and fuel storage in adult mice with a hypomorphic mutation in the gene methionine synthase reductase (Mtrr gt ). MTRR enzyme is a key regulator of the methionine and folate cycles. The Mtrr gt mutation in mice was previously shown to disrupt one‑carbon metabolism and cause a wide-spectrum of developmental phenotypes and late adult-onset macrocytic anaemia. Here, we showed that livers of Mtrr gt/gt female mice were enlarged compared to control C57Bl/6J livers. Histological analysis of these livers revealed eosinophilic hepatocytes with decreased glycogen content, which was associated with down-regulation of genes involved in glycogen synthesis (e.g., Ugp2 and Gsk3a genes). While female Mtrr gt/gt livers showed evidence of reduced β-oxidation of fatty acids, there were no other associated changes in the lipidome in female or male Mtrr gt/gt livers compared with controls. Defects in glycogen storage and lipid metabolism often associate with disruption of mitochondrial electron transfer system activity. However, defects in mitochondrial function were not detected in Mtrr gt/gt livers as determined by high-resolution respirometry analysis. Overall, we demonstrated that adult Mtrr gt/gt female mice showed abnormal liver morphology that differed from the NAFLD phenotype and that was accompanied by subtle changes in their hepatic metabolism and fuel storage.

Abstract
Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and electrospray ionization (ESI) coupled to either Fourier-transform (FT) orbital-trap or linear ion-trap tandem mass spectrometry (LIT-MS/MS) was used to characterize the phospholipidome of yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus) seeds. Phosphatidylcholines (PC) were the most abundant species (41 ± 6%), which were followed by lyso-forms LPC (30 ± 11%), phosphatidylethanolamines (PE, 13 ± 4%), phosphatidylglycerols (PG, 5.1 ± 1.7%), phosphatidic acids (PA, 4.9 ± 1.8%), phosphatidylinositols (PI, 4.7 ± 1.1%), and LPE (1.2 ± 0.5%). The occurrence of both isomeric forms of several LPC and LPE was inferred by a well-defined fragmentation pattern observed in negative ion mode. An unprecedented characterization of more than 200 polar lipids including 52 PC, 42 PE, 42 PA, 35 PG, 16 LPC, 13 LPE, and 10 PI, is reported. The most abundant fatty acids (FA) as esterified acyl chains in PL were 18:1 (oleic), 18:2 (linoleic), 16:0 (palmitic), and 18:3 (linolenic) with relatively high contents of long fatty acyl chains such as 22:0 (behenic), 24:0 (lignoceric), 20:1 (gondoic), and 22:1 (erucic). Their occurrence was confirmed by reversed-phase (RP) LC-ESI-FTMS analysis of a chemically hydrolyzed sample extract in acid conditions at 100 °C for 45 min.

Abstract
Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) is a spray-based ambient ionization method for mass spectrometry (MS) that generates ions in native atmospheric conditions (e.g., pressure and temperature). Ambient ionization allows in situ analysis of unmodified samples by eliminating analyte extraction and separation steps before MS. Lipid analysis of individual mammalian oocytes and preimplantation embryos is challenging because of their complex chemical composition and minute dimensions (100-300 μm in diameter). Nonetheless, DESI-MS can provide comprehensive lipidomic profiles of individual oocytes or embryos using a fast and simple workflow. DESI-MS lipid profiles include many classes of lipids such as phosphatidylcholines (PC), triacylglycerols (TAG), free fatty acids (FFA), phosphatidylethanolamines (PE), phosphatidylinositols (PI), phosphatidylserines (PS), diacylglycerols (DAG), ubiquinone, cholesterol and cholesterol derivatives (e.g., cholesterol sulfate and cholesterol esters). Depending on the mass spectrometer used, there is the additional possibility of obtaining structural information of lipids via MSn, and molecular formulae via high resolution MS. Here, we describe the procedures for sample handling, the DESI-MS experimental arrangement, and the data collection and data analysis using low and high-resolution mass spectrometers (such as a linear ion trap and Orbitrap mass analyzer, respectively), as well as strategies for structural characterization of lipids. Lastly, we detail our workflow for relating the chemical information obtained by DESI-MS into the biological context of oocyte and embryo metabolism.

Abstract
Astrocytes exhibit an important role in neural lipid metabolism for the regulation of energy balance to supply fatty acids (FAs) and ketone bodies to other neural cells. Lipid droplets (LDs) consisting of neutral- and phospho-lipids increase in the brains of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. However, the role of LDs and its lipid source remains largely unexplored. Here, we found that oleic acid (OA) was a potent inducer of astrocytic LD accumulation among various FAs. Lipidomic analysis using liquid chromatography equipped with tandem mass spectrometry revealed that the cellular triacylglycerol and phospholipid compositions in astrocytes during LD accumulation reflected the condition of extracellular FAs. Furthermore, the inhibition of diacylglycerol acyltransferase blocked OA-induced LD accumulation and caused lipotoxicity-induced cell death in astrocytes. The present study demonstrated that the formation of LDs, caused due to the increased extracellular OA, facilitated survival against lipotoxic condition.

Abstract
The use of ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to data independent tandem mass spectrometry with traveling wave ion mobility for detection and structural identification of ether-linked glycerophosphoethanolamine is described. The experimental design generates 4D data (chromatographic retention time, precursor accurate mass, drift time with associated calculated collisional cross-section, and time-aligned accurate mass diagnostic product ions) for each ionization mode. Confident structure identification depends on satisfying 4D data confirmation in both positive and negative ion mode. Using this methodology, a number of ether-linked glycerophosphoethanolamine lipids are structurally elucidated from mouse brain lysosomes. It is further determined that several ether-linked glycerophosphoethanolamine structures are differentially abundant between lysosomes isolated from mouse cortex following traumatic brain injury as compared to that of sham animals. The combined effort of aligning multi-dimensional mass spectrometry data with a well-defined traumatic brain injury model lays the foundation for gaining mechanistic insight in the role lysosomal membrane damage plays in neuronal cell death following brain injury.

Abstract
Representing the most fundamental lipid class, fatty acids (FA) play vital biological roles serving as energy sources, cellular signaling molecules, and key architectural components of complex lipids. Direct infusion electrospray ionization spectrometry, also known as shotgun lipidomics, has emerged as a rapid and powerful toolbox for lipid analysis. While shotgun lipidomics can be a sensitive approach to FA detection, the diverse molecular structure of FA presents challenges for unambiguous identification and the relative quantification of isomeric contributors. In particular, pinpointing double bond position(s) in unsaturated FA and determining the relative contribution of double bond isomers has limited the application of the shotgun approach. Recently, we reported the use of gas-phase ion/ion reactions to facilitate the identification of FA. Briefly, singly deprotonated FA anions undergo charge inversion when reacted in the gas phase with tris-phenanthroline magnesium dications by forming [FA - H + MgPhen]+ complex ions. These charge-inverted FA complex cations fragment upon ion-trap collision-induced dissociation (CID) to generate product ion spectra unique to individual FA isomers. Herein, we report the development of a mass spectral library comprised of [FA - H + MgPhen]+ product ion spectra. The developed FA library permits confident FA identification, including polyunsaturated FA isomers. Furthermore, we demonstrate the ability to determine relative contributions of isomeric FA using multiple linear regression analysis paired with gas-phase ion/ion reactions. We successfully applied the presented method to generate a FA profile for bovine liver phospholipidome based entirely on gas-phase chemistries.

Abstract
Dysregulated lipid species are linked to various disease pathologies and implicated as potential biomarkers for type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, it is challenging to comprehensively profile the blood specimen lipidome with full structural details of every lipid molecule. The commonly used reversed-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS/MS)-based lipidomics approach is powerful for the separation of individual lipid species, but lipids belonging to different classes may still co-elute and result in ion suppression and misidentification of lipids. Using offline mixed-mode and RPLC-based two-dimensional separations coupled with MS/MS, a comprehensive lipidomic profiling was performed on human sera pooled from healthy and T1D subjects. The elution order of lipid molecular species on RPLC showed good correlations to the total number of carbons in fatty acyl chains and total number of double bonds. This observation together with fatty acyl methyl ester analysis was used to enhance the confidence of identified lipid species. The final T1D serum lipid library database contains 753 lipid molecular species with accurate mass and RPLC retention time uniquely annotated for each of the species. This comprehensive human serum lipid library can serve as a database for high-throughput RPLC-MS-based lipidomic analysis of blood samples related to T1D and other childhood diseases.

Abstract
Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) is a fatal, neurodegenerative, cholesterol storage disorder. With new therapeutics in clinical trials, there is an urgency to improve diagnostics and monitor therapeutic efficacy with biomarkers. In this study, we sought to define the structure of an unknown lipid biomarker for NPC1 with [M + H]+ ion at m/z 509.3351, previously designated as lysoSM-509. The structure of N-palmitoyl-O-phosphocholineserine (PPCS) was proposed for the lipid biomarker based on the results from mass spectrometric analyses and chemical derivatizations. As no commercial standard is available, authentic PPCS was chemically synthesized, and the structure was confirmed by comparison of endogenous and synthetic compounds as well as their derivatives using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). PPCS is the most abundant species among N-acyl-O-phosphocholineserines (APCS), a class of lipids that have not been previously detected in biological samples. Further analysis demonstrated that all APCS species with acyl groups ranging from C14 to C24 were elevated in NPC1 plasma. PPCS is also elevated in both central and peripheral tissues of the NPC1 cat model. Identification of APCS structures provide an opportunity for broader exploration of the roles of these novel lipids in NPC1 disease pathology and diagnosis.

Abstract
More detailed fundamental information is required about latent fingermark composition in order to better understand fingermark properties and their impact on detection efficiency, and the physical and chemical changes that occur with time following deposition. The composition of the glyceride fraction of latent fingermark lipids in particular is relatively under-investigated due in part to their high structural variability and the limitations of the analytical methods most frequently utilised to investigate fingermark composition. Here, we present an ultra performance liquid chromatography-ion mobility spectroscopy-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-IMS-QToF-MSE) method to characterise glycerides in charged latent fingermarks using data-independent acquisition. Di- and triglycerides were identified in fingermark samples from a population of 10 donors, through a combination of in silico fragmentation and monitoring for fatty acid neutral losses. 23 diglycerides and 85 families of triglycerides were identified, with significant diversity in chain length and unsaturation. 21 of the most abundant triglyceride families were found to be common to most or all donors, presenting potential targets for further studies to monitor chemical and physical changes in latent fingermarks over time. Differences in relative peak intensities may be indicative of inter- and intra-donor variability. While this study represents a promising step to obtaining more in-depth information about fingermark composition, it also highlights the complex nature of these traces.

Abstract
The domestic rainbow trout producers issued a standard with an aquatic association that classified rainbow trout as salmon, which raised the concern of consumers on the fish parasites infection. Herein, an in situ method was developed using "iKnife" and rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry based lipidomics for real-time discrimination of salmon and rainbow trout without sample preparation. A total of 12 fatty acids and 37 phospholipid species was identified and imported into statistical analysis for building an in situ and real-time recognition model. The ions with | p(corr)| > 0.5 and | p| > 0.03 were shown to be responsible for allocating samples, and the ions with high correlation values, such as of m/ z 747.50, 771.49, and 863.55, indicated large weights in identification of the salmon and rainbow trout. The results indicated that this technology could be employed as a front-line test method to ensure the authenticity of salmon products.

Abstract
The growth of lipidomics and the high isomeric complexity of the lipidome has revealed a need for analytical techniques capable of structurally characterizing lipids with a high degree of specificity. Lipids are morphologically diverse molecules that can exist as any one of a large number of isomeric species, and as such are often indistinguishable by mass spectrometry without a complementary separation method. Recent developments in the field of lipidomics aim to address these challenges by utilizing a combination of multiple analytical techniques which are selective to lipid primary structure. This review summarizes two emerging strategies for lipidomic analysis, namely, ion mobility-mass spectrometry and ion fragmentation via ozonolysis.

Abstract
Under limited micronutrients condition, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) has to struggle for acquisition of the limited micronutrients available in the host. One such crucial micronutrient that MTB requires for the growth and sustenance is iron. The present study aimed to sequester the iron supply of MTB to control drug resistance in MTB. We found that iron restriction renders hypersensitivity to multidrug-resistant MTB strains against first-line anti-TB drugs. To decipher the effect of iron restriction on possible mechanisms of chemosensitization and altered cellular circuitry governing drug resistance and virulence of MTB, we explored MTB cellular architecture. We could identify non-intact cell envelope, tampered MTB morphology and diminished mycolic acid under iron restricted MDR-MTB cells. Deeper exploration unraveled altered lipidome profile observed through conventional TLC and advanced mass spectrometry-based LC-ESI-MS techniques. Lipidome analysis not only depicted profound alterations of various lipid classes which are crucial for pathogenecity but also exposed leads such as indispensability of iron to sustain metabolic, genotoxic and oxidative stresses. Furthermore, iron deprivation led to inhibited biofilm formation and capacity of MTB to adhere buccal epithelial cells. Lastly, we demonstrated enhanced survival of Mycobacterium-infected Caenorhabditis elegans model under iron limitation. The present study offers evidence and proposes alteration of lipidome profile and affected virulence traits upon iron chelation. Taken together, iron deprivation could be a potential strategy to rescue MDR and enhance the effectiveness of existing anti-TB drugs.

Abstract
Laser-induced acoustic desorption coupled to microplasma-based atmospheric pressure photoionization (LIAD-APPI) using a nebulized sweep jet to aid in dopant introduction and ion transmission has been applied to the analysis of model, apolar lipid compounds. Specifically, several sterols, sterol esters, and triacylglycerols were detected using dopants such as anisole and toluene. Additionally, several triacylglycerols, sterols, carboxylic acids, and hopanoids were detected from complex mixtures of olive oil and Australian shale rock extract as a first demonstration of the applicability of LIAD-APPI on real-world samples. Detection limits using a sweep jet configuration for α-tocopherol and cholesterol were found to be 609 ± 61 and 292 ± 29 fmol, respectively. For sterol esters and triacylglycerols with a large number of double bonds in the fatty acid chain, LIAD-APPI was shown to yield greater molecular ion or [M+NH4]+ abundances than those with saturated fatty acid chains. Dopants such as anisole and toluene, with ionization potentials (IPs) of 8.2 and 8.8 eV, respectively, were tested. A greater degree of fragmentation with several of the more labile test compounds was observed using toluene. Overall, LIAD-APPI with a nebulized sweep jet requires minimal sample preparation and is a generally useful and sensitive analysis technique for low-polarity mixtures of relevance to biochemical assays and geochemical profiling.

Abstract
Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is often used to identify lipids in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS) workflows. The molecular specificity afforded by MS/MS is crucial on MALDI time-of-flight (TOF) platforms that generally lack high resolution accurate mass measurement capabilities. Unfortunately, imaging MS/MS workflows generally only monitor a single precursor ion over the imaged area, limiting the throughput of this methodology. Herein, we demonstrate that multiple TOF/TOF events performed in each laser shot can be used to improve the throughput of imaging MS/MS. This is shown to enable the simultaneous identification of multiple phosphatidylcholine lipids in rat brain tissue. Uniquely, the separation in time achieved for the precursor ions in the TOF-1 region of the instrument is maintained for the fragment ions as they are analyzed in TOF-2, allowing for the differentiation of fragment ions of the exact same m/z derived from different precursor ions (e.g., the m/z 163 fragment ion from precursor ion m/z 772.5 is easily distinguished from the m/z 163 fragment ion from precursor ion m/z 826.5). This multiplexed imaging MS/MS approach allows for the acquisition of complete fragment ion spectra for multiple precursor ions per laser shot.

Abstract
Tandem mass spectrometry is an important tool for structure elucidation of natural and synthetic organic products. Fragmentation of odd electron ions (OE+) generated by electron ionization (EI) was extensively studied in the last few decades, however there are only a few systematic reviews available concerning the fragmentation of even-electron ions (EE+/EE−) produced by the currently most common ionization techniques, electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). This review summarizes the most important features of tandem mass spectra generated by collision-induced dissociation fragmentation and presents didactic examples for the unexperienced users.

Abstract
Recently, there has been increased attention on the analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), also known as liquid biopsy, owing to its potential benefits in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Circulating tumor cells are released from primary tumor lesions into the blood stream and eventually metastasize to distant body organs. However, a major hurdle with CTC analysis is their natural scarcity. Existing methods lack sensitivity, specificity, or reproducibility required in CTC characterization and detection. Here, we report untargeted molecular profiling of single CTCs obtained from gastric cancer and colorectal cancer patients, using live single cell mass spectrometry integrated with microfluidics-based cell enrichment techniques. Using this approach, we showed the difference in the metabolomic profile between CTCs originating from different cancer groups. Moreover, potential biomarkers were putatively annotated to be specific to each cancer type.

Abstract
Pulmonary artery grafts are needed as cardiovascular bioprosthetics. For successful tissue recellularization after transplantation, lipids have to be removed from the donor artery. Developing a selective process to remove lipids without damaging the extracellular matrix greatly depends on knowing the amount and type of lipid compounds in the specific tissue. Here we present an efficient methodology for the study of lipids present in porcine pulmonary arteries. The performance of six extraction methods to recover lipids from artery was evaluated. For this purpose, a supercritical fluid chromatography method coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry detection (UHPSFC/QTOF-MS) was adapted. The method enabled separation of lipids of a wide range of polarity according to lipid class in less than 7 min. One dichloromethane-based extraction method was shown to be the most efficient one for the recovery of lipids from pulmonary artery. However, one MTBE-based extraction method was able to show the highest fatty acid extraction yields (to the expense of longer extraction times). Lipids were relative quantified according to class, and the major species within each class were identified. Triacylglycerols and glycerophospholipids were the most abundant classes, followed by sphingomyelins, monoacylglycerols and fatty acyls. The matrix effect exerted no interference on the analytical method, except for some few combinations of extraction method and lipid class. These results are of relevance for lipidomic studies from solid tissue, in particular for studies on pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases. Finally, our work sets the basis for the further development of a selective processes to remove lipids from pulmonary artery without damaging the tissue prior to transplantation.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is discussed as a key player in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2Dm), a highly prevalent disease rapidly developing as one of the greatest global health challenges of this century. Data however about the involvement of mitochondria, central hubs in bioenergetic processes, in the disease development are still controversial. Lipid and protein homeostasis are under intense discussion to be crucial for proper mitochondrial function. Consequently proteomics and lipidomics analyses might help to understand how molecular changes in mitochondria translate to alterations in energy transduction as observed in the healthy and metabolic diseases such as T2Dm and other related disorders. Mitochondrial lipids integrated in a tool covering proteomic and functional analyses were up to now rarely investigated, although mitochondrial lipids might provide a possible lynchpin in the understanding of type 2 diabetes development and thereby prevention. In this chapter state-of-the-art analytical strategies, pre-analytical aspects, potential pitfalls as well as current proteomics and lipidomics-based knowledge about the pathophysiological role of mitochondria in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes will be discussed.

Abstract
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lipidome is attracting increasing attention due to the importance of lipids in brain molecular signaling and their involvement in several neurological diseases. Different solvent systems have been used for the extraction of multiple lipid classes from CSF but no comparative study of the effectiveness of these protocols has been carried out. To optimize CSF lipid extraction for lipidomic measurements by untargeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry, we evaluate and compare two sample preparation protocols, one involving protein precipitation with isopropanol (IPA) and other consisting of a liquid-liquid extraction with chloroform-methanol. For that purpose, human CSF from neurologically healthy and normolipidemic volunteers was used. The criteria established to compare these two methods were based on four critical aspects of sample preparation: simplicity, lipid coverage, reproducibility and recovery efficiencies. We found that both methods were highly reproducible techniques (>75% of the lipids with coefficient of variation (CV) <30%). In terms of recovery, the single-step IPA procedure yielded better values for most of the lipid classes and it was less toxic and simpler than the liquid-liquid extraction method. In relation to lipid coverage, variation in selectivity was observed between methods, providing evidence that IPA was more selective for polar lipids. Overall, IPA precipitation provides excellent results in terms of simplicity of execution, lipid coverage, reproducibility and recovery. We conclude that it is a choice procedure for large-scale, untargeted lipid profiling using UHPLC-MS in CSF analysis.

Abstract
Previous work from our group showed that tamoxifen, an oral drug that has been in use for the treatment of breast cancer for over 40 years, is active both in vitro and in vivo against several species of Leishmania, the etiological agent of leishmaniasis. Using a combination of metabolic labeling with [3H]-sphingosine and myo-[3H]-inositol, alkaline hydrolysis, HPTLC fractionations and mass spectrometry analyses, we observed a perturbation in the metabolism of inositolphosphorylceramides (IPCs) and phosphatidylinositols (PIs) after treatment of L. amazonensis promastigotes with tamoxifen, with a significant reduction in the biosynthesis of the major IPCs (composed of d16:1/18:0-IPC, t16:0/C18:0-IPC, d18:1/18:0-IPC and t16:0/20:0-IPC) and PIs (sn-1-O-(C18:0)alkyl -2-O-(C18:1)acylglycerol-3-HPO4-inositol and sn-1-O-(C18:0)acyl-2-O-(C18:1)acylglycerol-3-HPO4-inositol) species. Substrate saturation kinetics of myo-inositol uptake analyses indicated that inhibition of inositol transport or availability were not the main reasons for the reduced biosynthesis of IPC and PI observed in tamoxifen treated parasites. An in vitro enzymatic assay was used to show that tamoxifen was able to inhibit the Leishmania IPC synthase with an IC50 value of 8.48 μM (95% CI 7.68–9.37), suggesting that this enzyme is most likely one of the targets for this compound in the parasites. Tamoxifen alters the sphingolipid metabolism of L. amazonensis. Tamoxifen treated parasites show a significant reduction of IPC and PI species. Tamoxifen-treated parasites present a reduction of inositol transport. Tamoxifen is an inhibitor of L. major's IPC synthase in a micromolar range.

Abstract
Direct analyte probed nanoextraction (DAPNe) is a method of extracting material from a microscale region of a sample and provides the opportunity for detailed mass spectrometry analysis of extracted analytes from a small area. The technique has been shown to provide enhanced sensitivity compared with bulk analysis by selectively removing analytes from their matrix and has been applied for selective analysis of single cells and even single organelles. However, the quantitative capabilities of the technique are yet to be fully evaluated. In this study, various normalization techniques were investigated in order to improve the quantitative capabilities of the technique. Two methods of internal standard incorporation were applied to test substrates, which were designed to replicate biological sample matrices. Additionally, normalization to the extraction spot area and matrix compounds were investigated for suitability in situations when an internal standard is not available. The variability observed can be significantly reduced by using a sprayed internal standard and, in some cases, by normalizing to the extracted area.

Abstract
We performed metabolomic analyses of mouse brain using a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model with Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI)-mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) to reveal metabolite changes after cerebral ischemia. We selected and analyzed three metabolites, namely creatine (Cr), phosphocreatine (P-Cr), and ceramides (Cer), because these metabolites contribute to cell life and death. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to tMCAO via the intraluminal blockade of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and reperfusion 60 min after the induction of ischemia. Each mouse was randomly assigned to one of the three groups; the groups were defined by the survival period after reperfusion: control, 1 h, and 24 h. Corrected samples were analyzed using MALDI-MSI. Results of MSI analysis showed the presence of several ionized substances and revealed spatial changes in some metabolites identified as precise substances, including Cr, P-Cr, Cer d18:1/18:0, phosphatidylcholine, L-glutamine, and L-histidine. Cr, P-Cr, and Cer d18:1/18:0 were changed after tMCAO, and P-Cr and Cer d18:1/18:0 accumulated over time in ischemic cores and surrounding areas following ischemia onset. The upregulation of P-Cr and Cer d18:1/18:0 was detected 1 h after tMCAO when no changes were evident on hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunofluorescence assay. P-Cr and Cer d18:1/18:0 can serve as neuroprotective therapies because they are biomarker candidates for cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
Sensitivity is generally an issue in bioassays of prostaglandins and their synthetic analogs due to their extremely low concentration in vivo. To improve the ionization efficiency of limaprost, an oral prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) synthetic analog, we investigated a charge reversal derivatization strategy in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). We established that the cholamine derivative exhibits much greater signal intensity in the positive-ion mode compared with limaprost in the negative ion mode. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) involved exclusive neutral mass loss and positive charge migration to form stable cationic product ions with the positive charge on the limaprost residue rather than on the modifying group. This has the effect of maintaining the efficiency and specificity of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and avoiding cross talk. CID fragmentation patterns of other limaprost derivatives allowed us to relate the dissociation tendency of different neutral leaving groups to an internal energy distribution scale based on the survival yield method. Knowledge of the energy involved in the production of stabilized positive ions will potentially assist the selection of suitable derivatization reagents for the analysis of a wide variety of lipid acids.

Abstract
A rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) method was developed for lipidomics tracking of Ctenopharyngodon idellus during in vitro multiple-stage digestion. The REIMS conditions were optimized such that the temperature of the heating probe was 500 °C, sample amount was 30 mg, and the flow rate of auxiliary solvent was 100 μL min-1. The results showed that the phospholipids were detected with variety and quantity in the crude and multiple-stage digested samples. The enzymatic effect on the phospholipids is varied depending on the phospholipid classes, and the hydrolysis rate of phospholipids increased as the degree of unsaturation of the acyl chain increased. The principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that the ions at m/ z 809.61, 811.63, and 857.52 were the most noticeable species digested during the process. This method exhibited great potential in fast lipidomics profiling for inspecting the characteristics of nutritional lipid absorption digestion in human gastrointestin.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major clinical concern and its treatment consumes abundant resources. While accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes initiates the disease, this in itself is not necessarily harmful; rather, initiation of inflammation and subsequent fibrosis and cirrhosis are critical steps in NAFLD pathology. Mechanisms linking lipid overload to downstream disease progression are not fully understood; however, bioactive lipid metabolism may underlie instigation of proinflammatory signaling. With the advent of high-throughput, sensitive, and quantitative mass spectrometry-based methods for assessing lipid profiles in NAFLD, several trends have emerged, including that increases in specific sphingolipids correlate with the transition from the relatively benign condition of simple fatty liver to the much more concerning inflamed state. Continued studies that implement sphingolipid profiling will enable the extrapolations of candidate enzymes and pathways involved in NAFLD, either in biopsies or plasma from human samples, and also in animal models, from which data are much more abundant. While most data thus far are derived from targeted lipidomics approaches, unbiased, semi-quantitative approaches hold additional promise for furthering our understanding of sphingolipids as markers of and players in NAFLD.

Abstract
Bacteria inhabit a vast range of biological niches and have evolved diverse mechanisms to cope with environmental stressors. The genus Acinetobacter comprises a complex group of Gram-negative bacteria. Some of these bacteria such as A. baumannii are nosocomial pathogens. They are often resistant to multiple antibiotics and are associated with epidemic outbreaks. A. radioresistens is generally considered to be a commensal bacterium on human skin or an opportunistic pathogen. Interestingly, this species has exceptional resistance to a range of environmental challenges which contributes to its persistence in clinical environment and on human skin. We studied changes in its lipid composition induced by the onset of stationary phase. This strain produced triglycerides (TG) as well as four common phospholipids: phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), cardiolipin (CL) and lysocardiolipin (LCL). It also produced small amounts of acyl-phosphatidylglycerol (APG). As the bacterial growth entered the stationary phase, the lipidome switched from one dominated by PE and PG to another dominated by CL and LCL. Surprisingly, bacteria in the stationary phase produced N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE) and another rare lipid we tentatively name as 1-phosphatidyl-2-acyl-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (PAGPE) based on tandem mass spectrometry. It is possible these tri-acylated lipids play an important role in coping with nutrient depletion.
