Abstract
Ion signals in electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) are affected by addition of acid or base. Acids or bases are typically added to samples to enhance detection of analytes in positive- or negative-ion mode, respectively. To carry out simultaneous monitoring of analytes with different ionogenic moieties by ESI-MS, a rapid acid/base switching system was developed. The system was further coupled with flow injection analysis (FIA) and liquid chromatography (LC) MS. The two variants enable detection of separated analytes immediately after alternating addition of acid and base. The methods were tested using a set of phospholipids (PLs) as analytes. The rapid acid/base switching enhanced signals of some of the PL analytes in both ion modes of MS. Both FIA-MS and LC-MS with acid/base switching show signal enhancements (∼1.3-23.2 times) of some analyte signals when compared with analysis conducted without acid/base switching. The proposed methods are suitable for simultaneous analysis of cationic and anionic analytes. The FIA-MS and LC-MS methods with acid/base switching were also applied in analysis of lipid extract from real samples (sausage and porcine liver). However, the FIA-MS results were affected by ionization competition and isobaric interference due to the complexity of the sample matrix and diversity of PL species. In contrast, the LC-MS mode provides adequate selectivity to observe signal enhancement for specific analyte ions. Overall, alternating addition of acid and base immediately before the ESI source can improve analytical performance without the need to carry out separate analyses targeting different types of analytes.

Comparative Evaluation of Data Dependent and Data Independent Acquisition Workflows Implemented on an Orbitrap Fusion for Untargeted Metabolomics. Metabolites 2020; 10:metabo10040158. [PMID: 32325648 PMCID: PMC7240956 DOI: 10.3390/metabo10040158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2020] [Accepted: 04/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Constant improvements to the Orbitrap mass analyzer, such as acquisition speed, resolution, dynamic range and sensitivity have strengthened its value for the large-scale identification and quantification of metabolites in complex biological matrices. Here, we report the development and optimization of Data Dependent Acquisition (DDA) and Sequential Window Acquisition of all THeoretical fragment ions (SWATH-type) Data Independent Acquisition (DIA) workflows on a high-field Orbitrap FusionTM TribridTM instrument for the robust identification and quantification of metabolites in human plasma. By using a set of 47 exogenous and 72 endogenous molecules, we compared the efficiency and complementarity of both approaches. We exploited the versatility of this mass spectrometer to collect meaningful MS/MS spectra at both high- and low-mass resolution and various low-energy collision-induced dissociation conditions under optimized DDA conditions. We also observed that complex and composite DIA-MS/MS spectra can be efficiently exploited to identify metabolites in plasma thanks to a reference tandem spectral library made from authentic standards while also providing a valuable data resource for further identification of unknown metabolites. Finally, we found that adding multi-event MS/MS acquisition did not degrade the ability to use survey MS scans from DDA and DIA workflows for the reliable absolute quantification of metabolites down to 0.05 ng/mL in human plasma.

Abstract
1. Vinclozolin (Vin) is a fungicide used in agricultural settings and is classified as an endocrine disruptor. Vin is non-enzymatically hydrolyzed to 2-[[(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-carbamoyl]oxy]-2-methyl-3-butenoic acid (M1) and 3',5'-dichloro-2-hydroxy-2-methylbut-3-enanilide (M2) metabolites. There is no information about Vin biotransformation in humans, therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize its in vitro metabolism using human liver microsomes. 2. Vin was metabolized to the [3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-5-methyl-5-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)-1,3-oxazolidine-2,4-dione] (M4) and N-(2,3,4-trihydroxy-2-methyl-1-oxo)-3,5-dichlorophenyl-1-carbamic acid (M7) metabolites, which are unstable and gradually converted to 3',5'-dichloro-2,3,4-trihydroxy-2-methylbutyranilide (DTMBA, formerly denoted as M5). M4 and DTMBA metabolites co-eluted in the same HPLC peak; this co-elute peak exhibited a Michaelis-Menten kinetic, whereas M7 showed a substrate inhibition kinetics. The KM app for co-eluted M4/DTMBA and M7 was 24.2 ± 5.6 and 116.0 ± 52.6 μM, the VMax app was 0.280 ± 0.015 and 0.180 ± 0.060 nmoles/min/mg protein, and the CLint app was 11.5 and 1.5 mL/min/g protein, respectively. The Ki for M7 was 133.2 ± 63.9 μM. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) chemical inhibitors furafylline (CYP1A2), ketoconazole (CYP3A4), pilocarpine (CYP2A6) and sulfaphenazole (CYP2C9) inhibited M4/DTMBA and M7 formation, suggesting that Vin is metabolized in humans by CYP. 3. DTMBA is a stable metabolite and specific of Vin, therefore, it could be used as a biomarker of Vin exposure in humans to perform epidemiological studies.

High-resolution mass spectrometry of skin mucus for monitoring physiological impacts and contaminant biotransformation products in fathead minnows exposed to wastewater effluent.

Abstract
High-resolution mass spectrometry is advantageous for monitoring physiological impacts and contaminant biotransformation products in fish exposed to complex wastewater effluent. We evaluated this technique using skin mucus from male and female fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) exposed to control water or treated wastewater effluent at 5, 20, and 100% levels for 21 d, using an on-site, flow-through system providing real-time exposure. Both sex-specific and non-sex-specific responses were observed in the mucus metabolome, the latter suggesting the induction of general compensatory pathways for xenobiotic exposures. Altogether, 85 statistically significant treatment-dependent metabolite changes were observed out of the 310 total endogenous metabolites that were detected (156 of the 310 were annotated). Partial least squares-regression models revealed strong covariances between the mucus metabolomes and up-regulated hepatic messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) transcripts reported previously for these same fish. These regression models suggest that mucus metabolomic changes reflected, in part, processes by which the fish biotransformed xenobiotics in the effluent. In keeping with this observation, we detected a phase II transformation product of bisphenol A in the skin mucus of male fish. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the utility of mucus as a minimally invasive matrix for simultaneously assessing exposures and effects of environmentally relevant mixtures of contaminants.

Abstract
Typical mass spectrometry (MS) based untargeted metabolomics protocols are tedious as well as time- and sample-consuming. In particular, they often rely on "full-scan-only" analyses using liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) from which metabolites of interest are first highlighted, and then tentatively identified by using targeted MS/MS experiments. However, this situation is evolving with the emergence of integrated HRMS based-data acquisition protocols able to perform multi-event acquisitions. Most of these protocols, referring to as data dependent and data independent acquisition (DDA and DIA, respectively), have been initially developed for proteomic applications and have recently demonstrated their applicability to biomedical studies. In this context, the aim of this article is to take stock of the progress made in the field of DDA- and DIA-based protocols, and evaluate their ability to change conventional metabolomic and lipidomic data acquisition workflows, through a review of HRMS instrumentation, DDA and DIA workflows, and also associated informatics tools.

Abstract
RATIONALE High-throughput analyses require an overall analytical workflow including not only a robust and high-speed technical platform, but also dedicated data-processing tools able to extract the relevant information. This work aimed at evaluating post-acquisition data-mining tools for selective extraction of metabolite species from direct introduction high-resolution mass spectrometry data. METHODS Investigations were performed on spectral data in which seven metabolites of vinclozolin, a dicarboximide fungicide containing two chloride atoms, were previously manually identified. The spectral data obtained from direct introduction (DI) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) detection were post-processed by plotting the mass defect profiles and applying various data-filtering methods based on accurate mass values. RESULTS Exploration of mass defect profiles highlighted, in a specific plotting region, the presence of compounds containing common chemical elements and pairs of conjugated and non-conjugated metabolites resulting from classical metabolic pathways. Additionally, the judicious application of mass defect and/or isotope pattern filters removed many interfering ions from DI-HRMS data, greatly facilitating the detection of vinclozolin metabolites. Compared with previous results obtained by manual data treatment, three additional metabolites of vinclozolin were detected and putatively annotated. CONCLUSIONS Tracking simultaneously several specific species could be efficiently performed using data-mining tools based on accurate mass values. The selectivity of the data extraction was improved when the isotope filter was used for halogenated compounds, facilitating metabolite ion detection even for low-abundance species.
