Abstract
Bile acid (BA) imbalance may be directly associated with gastric cancer and indirectly influence stomach carcinogenesis via overexpression of histidine decarboxylase (HDC), which converts histidine (His) into histamine (HIST). Moreover, the progression of gastric cancer, could change the gut microbiome, including bacteria spp. that produce secondary BAs. Gastric juice has various metabolites that could indicate gastric cancer-related stomach conditions. Therefore, profiling of HIST, His, and BAs in gastric juice is crucial for understanding the etiological mechanisms of gastric cancer. We used a profiling method to simultaneously determine targeted metabolites in gastric juice using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We successfully analyzed 70 human gastric juice samples from patients with chronic superficial gastritis (CSG, n = 20), intestinal metaplasia (IM, n = 12), and gastric cancer (n = 38). Furthermore, we investigated the relevance between BA metabolism and gastric cancer. There were statistical differences in the metabolism of cholic acid (CA) into deoxycholic acid (DCA) based on the progression of CSG into IM and gastric cancer. Hence, the progression of gastric cancer might be related to the alterations in gut microbiome composition. We provide insight into the etiological mechanisms of the progression of gastric cancer and biomarkers to diagnose and treat gastric cancer.

Abstract
Carbonyl compounds are an important class of by-products that are generated in disinfection reactions. These chemicals are ingredients contributing to toxicology in the drinking water system, the compositions and structures of which are worthy of attention. In this study, a chemical derivatization method based on simultaneous light/heavy isotope labeling was established for general recognition of carbonyl compounds and carbonyl disinfection by-products (DBPs) as per the humic substance reference standard (Suwannee river fulvic acid II, SRFA) before and after ozonation, chlorination, and chloramination. Decomposition of macromolecular components into polar carbonyl species was observed to be the most prominent pathway in ozone treatment due to the efficient reactivity of ozone with phenols and alkoxy aromatic rings. As a result, alteration of molecular characteristics was noticed. For instance, ozone-induced carbonyl DBPs in the highly oxygenated compound classes (0.67 ≤ O/C ≤ 1.2, 0.6 < H/C ≤ 1.5) possessed higher O/C but contained less oxygen numbers and carbon numbers. Cl/Br-carbonyl-DBPs were identified after chlorination and chloramination, and I-carbonyl-DBPs were found in ozone and chloramine treatments. Several major halogenated carbonyl homologues were further recognized, including halogenated 4-oxobutenoic acid analogues, halogenated 2,5-dioxohex-3-enoic acid analogues, and halogenated 4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones analogues. These findings illustrate the presence of abundant carbonyl DBPs in water disinfection, and hence their impacts on human health deserve further investigation.

Abstract
The chemical composition of feces plays an important role in human metabolism. Metabolomics and lipidomics are valuable tools for screening the metabolite composition in feces. Here we set out to describe fecal metabolite composition in healthy participants in frozen stools. Frozen stool samples were collected from 10 healthy volunteers and cryogenically drilled in four areas along the specimen. Polar metabolites were analyzed using derivatization followed by two-dimensional gas chromatography and time of flight mass spectrometry. Lipids were detected using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometry. 2326 metabolic features were detected. Out of a total of 298 metabolites that were annotated we report here 185 that showed a technical variation of x < 30%. These metabolites included amino acids, fatty acid derivatives, carboxylic acids and phenolic compounds. Lipids predominantly belonged to the groups of diacylglycerols, triacylglycerols and ceramides. Metabolites varied between sampling areas, some were broadly homogeneous, others varied 80%. A LASSO-computed network using metabolites present in all areas showed two main clusters describing the system, DAG lipids and phenyllactic acid. In feces from healthy participants, the main groups detected were phenolic compounds, ceramides, diacylglycerols and triacylglycerols.

Abstract
Carboxyl-containing metabolites, such as bile acids and fatty acids, have many important functions and microbiota is involved in the production of them. In the previous study, we found that the chronic kidney disease (CKD) model mice raised under germ-free conditions provided more severe renal damage than the mice with commensal microbiota. However, the precise influence by the microbiome and carboxyl-containing metabolites to the renal functions is unknown. In this study, we aimed to develop a novel chemical isotope labeling-LC-MS/MS method using the 2-picolylamine and its isotopologue and applied the analysis of effects of microbiome and CKD pathophysiology. The developed semi-quantitative method provided the high accuracy not inferior to the absolute quantification. By comparing of four groups of mice, we found that both microbiota and renal function can alter the composition and level of these metabolites in both plasma and intestine. In particular, the intestinal level of indole-3-acetic acid, short-chain fatty acids and n-3 type of polyunsaturated fatty acid, which play important roles in the endothelial barrier function, were significantly lower in germ-free conditions mice with renal failure. Accordingly, it is suggested these metabolites might have a renoprotective effect on CKD by suppressing epithelial barrier disruption.

Abstract
The formation of DNA adducts by genotoxic agents is an early event in cancer development, and it may lead to gene mutations, thereby initiating tumor development. The measurement of DNA adducts can provide critical information about the genotoxic potential of a chemical and its mechanism of carcinogenesis. In recent decades, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry has become the most important technique for analyzing DNA adducts. The improvements in resolution achievable with new chromatographic separation techniques coupled with the high specificity and sensitivity and wide dynamic range of new mass spectrometry systems have been used for both qualitative and quantitative analyses of DNA adducts. This review discusses the challenges in qualitative and quantitative analyses of DNA adducts by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and highlights recent developments towards overcoming the limitations of liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry methods. The key steps and new solutions, such as sample preparation, mass spectrometry fragmentation, and method validation, are summarized. In addition, the fundamental principles and latest advances in DNA adductomic approaches are reviewed.

Abstract
Myocardial Infarction (MI) is one of the most common causes of deaths worldwide. Thiols have been reported to play a key role in physiological and pathological processes of MI. Comprehensive analysis of thiols would be conducive to fully elucidate the relation between thiols and MI. In the current study, we analyze the metabolomic differences of thiols in serum between MI patients (n = 30) and healthy controls (HCs, n = 30) by stable isotope labeling-dispersive solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography-full scan-Orbitrap-mass spectrometry analysis (IL-DSPE-LC-full scan-Orbitrap MS) method. We detected 300 potential thiols in serum of MI patients and HCs, among which, 67 thiols were positively or putatively identified. Furthermore, we found that the levels of 71 thiols in serum exhibited significant difference between MI patients and HCs. In the transsulfuration pathway, we observed that Cys and Hcys were upregulated, while GSH were downregulated. Our results provide a comprehensive understanding of thiols metabolome in human serum between MI patients and HCs.

Abstract
Human exposure to hundreds of chemicals, a primary component of the exposome, has been associated with many diseases. Urinary biomarkers of these chemicals are commonly monitored to quantify their exposure. However, because of low concentrations and the great variability in physicochemical properties of exposure biomarkers, exposome research has been limited by low-throughput and costly methods. Here, we developed a sensitive and high-throughput exposome analytical platform (CIL-EXPOSOME) by isotopically labeling urinary biomarkers with common functional groups (phenolic hydroxyl/carboxyl/primary amine). After a simple cleanup, we used mass spectrometry to perform a screening for both targeted and untargeted biomarkers, which was further processed by an automatic computational pipeline method for qualification and quantification. This platform has effectively introduced an isotope tag for the absolute quantification of biomarkers and has improved sensitivity of 2-1184 fold compared to existing methods. For putative identification, we built a database of 818 urinary biomarkers with MS/MS fragmentation information from either standards or in silico predictions. Using this platform, we have found 671 urinary exposure biomarker candidates from a 2 mL pooled urine sample. The exposome data acquisition and analysis time has also been greatly shortened. The results showed that CIL-EXPOSOME is a useful tool for global exposome analysis of complex samples.

Anal Chim Acta 2019; 1070:51-59.

Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are one class of bacterial metabolites mainly formed by gut microbiota from undigested fibers and proteins. These molecules are able to mediate signal conduction processes of cells, acting as G protein-coupled receptors (GPR) activators and histone deacetylases (HDAC) inhibitors. It was reported that SCFAs were closely associated with various human diseases. However, it is still challenging to analyze SCFAs because of their diverse structures and broad range of concentrations. In this study, we developed a highly sensitive method for simultaneous detection of 34 SCFAs by stable isotope labeling coupled with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS) analysis. In this respect, a pair of isotope labeling reagents, N-(4-(aminomethyl)benzyl)aniline (4-AMBA) and N-(4-(aminomethyl)benzyl)aniline-d5 (4-AMBA-d5), were synthesized to label SCFAs from the feces of mice and SCFA standards, respectively. The 4-AMBA-d5 labeled SCFAs were used as internal standards to compensate the ionization variances resulting from matrix effect and thus minimize quantitation deviation in MS detection. After 4-AMBA labeling, the retention of SCFAs on the reversed-phase column increased and the separation resolution of isomers were improved. In addition, the MS responses of most SCFAs were enhanced by up to three orders of magnitude compared to unlabeled SCFAs. The limits of detection (LODs) of SCFAs were as low as 0.005 ng/mL. Moreover, good linearity for 34 SCFAs was obtained with the coefficient of determination (R2) ranging from 0.9846 to 0.9999 and the intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) were <17.8% and 15.4%, respectively, indicating the acceptable reproducibility of the developed method. Using the developed method, we successfully quantified 21 SCFAs from the feces of mice. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and t-test analysis showed that the contents of 9 SCFAs were significantly different between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and wide type (WT) mice fecal samples. Compared to WT mice, the contents of propionic acid, isobutyric acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, and 3-hydroxyisocaleric acid were decreased in AD mice, while lactic acid, 2-hydroxybutyric acid, 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid, levulinic acid, and valpronic acid were increased in AD mice. These significantly changed SCFAs in the feces of AD mice may afford to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of AD. Taken together, the developed UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS method could be applied for the sensitive and comprehensive determination of SCFAs from complex biological samples.

Abstract
Carboxyl-containing metabolites (CCMs) widely exist in living systems and are the essential components for life. Global characteristics of CCMs in biological samples are critical for the understanding of physiological processes and the discovery for the onset of relevant diseases. However, their determination represents a challenge due to enormous polarity differences, structural diversity, high structural similarity, and poor ionization efficiency in mass spectrometry. Herein, 5-(diisopropylamino)amylamine (DIAAA) derivatization coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was developed for mapping the CCMs. With this methodology, the sensitivity was significantly enhanced. More importantly, the hydrophobicity of polar CCMs, amino acids, TCA cycle intermediates, and short-chain fatty acids and the hydrophilicity of low-polar CCMs, long-chain fatty acids, and bile acids were significantly increased, resulting in a remarkable separation efficiency for which 68 CCMs can be simultaneously determined. Furthermore, the polarity-tuning effect was confirmed to be induced by the different impacts of aliphatic chains and nitrogen atom in DIAAA, the latter existing as a cation in the acidic mobile phase, using different derivatization reagents. Finally, this derivatization method was utilized to hunt for the potential biomarkers in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and 52 CCMs, related with several key metabolic pathways, including amino acids metabolism, TCA cycle, fatty acid metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, and gut flora metabolism were identified. This innovative polarity-tuning derivatization-LC-MS approach was proved to be a valuable tool for probing global metabolome with high separation efficiency and sensitivity in various biological samples.
