J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 239:115882. [PMID: 38071766 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2023.115882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 11/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
Based on our experiences in bile acid profiling, this work developed and validated a liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry method to separate endogenous bile acid isomers and quantitatively determine ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDCA) and tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) in human plasma. The separation was performed on a CORTECS C18 column with the mobile phase consisting of 1.0 mM ammonium acetate and acetonitrile-methanol (80:20, v/v). UDCA, GUDCA and TUDCA were detected in the negative mode on a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer at the ion transitions of m/z 391 > 391, m/z 448 > 74, m/z 498 > 80, respectively. Phosphate buffer was employed as the surrogate matrix to establish the isotope internal standard corrected calibration curves of analytes. The background-method with a linearity range of 10-200 ng/mL was partially validated to determine the endogenous levels of analytes in blank human plasma, which was incorporated into the validation of bioequivalence-method with a linearity range of 50-10000 ng/mL. The bioequivalence (BE)-method was fully validated with special focus on matrix effects, which have been critically evaluated using the precision and accuracy of quality control samples prepared from the blank human plasma of 12 individuals. It is disclosed for the first time that the BE results of UDCA formulation may yield false results when the method is insufficient to separate UDCA from isoursodeoxycholic acid, a microbial metabolite of both endogenous and exogenous UDCA. The present method has established a milestone for the evaluation of UDCA formulations and is expected to provide a valuable reference for the bioanalytical development of endogenous medicinal products.

Abstract
Identification of unknown bile acids, especially the distinguishment between isomers, requires retention times of a large number of reference standards, which are often not commercially available. Meanwhile, published retention information cannot be directly transferred across labs due to the differences between liquid chromatography (LC) systems, such as different extra column volume and dwell volume. To improve this situation, a transferrable retention time library for bile acids named BART was developed. BART was composed of isocratic retention models of 272 bile acids and a software tool to predict their gradient retention times on various LC systems. The isocratic retention times of bile acids were acquired on a Waters BEH C18 column with mobile phases of acidic ammonium acetate buffer and acetonitrile, and fit to the quadratic solvent strength model (QSSM). Segmented linear gradient retention times were calculated with holdup time (t0), dwell time (tD) and actual gradient profile corrected using 21 bile acid calibration standards. In addition to the reference system where the isocratic retention times were acquired, this approach has been validated on four other LC-MS systems in four labs with two gradient methods. Average root mean square errors (RMSE) between predicted and experimental retention times were 0.052 and 0.054 min for the two gradients tested, which were 9-fold more accurate than referring to a static retention time library.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an effective minimally invasive operation for the management of choledocholithiasis, while successful extraction is hampered by large diameter of stones. Emerging studies have revealed the close correlation between biliary microbiota and common bile duct stones (CBDS). In this study, we aimed to investigate the community characteristics and metabolic functions of biliary microbiota in patients with giant CBDS. Methods Eligible patients were prospectively enrolled in this study in First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from February 2022 to October 2022. Bile samples were collected through ERCP. The microbiota was analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing. Metabolic functions were predicted by PICRUSTs 2.0 calculation based on MetaCyc database. Bile acids were tested and identified using ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Results A total of 26 patients were successfully included into final analysis, 8 in giant stone (GS) group and 18 in control group. Distinct biliary microbial composition was identified in patients with giant CBDS, with a significantly higher abundance of Firmicutes at phylum level. The unique composition at genus level mainly consisted of Enterococcus, Citrobacter, Lactobacillus, Pyramidobacter, Bifidobacterium and Shewanella. Pyramidobacter was exclusively found in GS group, along with the absence of Robinsoniella and Coprococcus. The contents of free bile acids were significantly higher in GS group, including cholic acid (98.39μmol/mL vs. 26.15μmol/mL, p=0.035), chenodesoxycholic acid (54.69μmol/mL vs. 5.86μmol/mL, p=0.022) and ursodeoxycholic acid (2.70μmol/mL vs. 0.17μmol/mL, p=0.047). Decreasing tendency of conjugated bile acids were also observed. Metabolic pathways concerning cholelithiasis were abundant in GS group, including geranylgeranyl diphosphate biosynthesis, gluconeogenesis, glycolysis and L-methionine biosynthesis. Conclusions This study demonstrated the community structure and metabolic potential of biliary microbiota in patients with giant CBDS. The unique biliary microbial composition holds valuable predictive potential for clinical conditions. These findings provide new insights into the etiology of giant CBDS from the perspective of biliary microbiota.

Abstract
Recently, amino acids other than glycine and taurine were found to be conjugated with bile acids by the gut microbiome in mouse and human. As potential diagnostic markers for inflammatory bowel disease and farnesoid X receptor agonists, their physiological effects and mechanisms, however, remain to be elucidated. A tool for the rapid and comprehensive annotation of such new metabolites is required. Thus, we developed a semi-empirical MS/MS library for bile acids conjugated with 18 common amino acids, including alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartate, glutamine, glutamate, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine. To investigate their fragmentation rules, these amino acids were chemically conjugated with lithocholic acid, deoxycholic acid, and cholic acid, and their accurate-mass MS/MS spectra were acquired. The common fragmentation patterns from the amino acid moieties were combined with 10 general bile acid skeletons to generate a semi-empirical MS/MS library of 180 structures. Software named BAFinder 2.0 was developed to combine the semi-empirical library in negative mode and the characteristic fragments in positive mode for automatic unknown identification. As a proof of concept, this workflow was applied to the LC-MS/MS analysis of the feces of human, beagle dogs, and rats. In total, 171 common amino acid-conjugated bile acids were annotated and 105 of them were confirmed with the retention times of synthesized compounds. To explore other potential bile acid conjugates, user-defined small molecules were in-silico conjugated with bile acids and searched in the fecal dataset. Four novel bile acid conjugates were discovered, including D-Ala-D-Ala, Lys(iso)-Gly, L-2-aminobutyric acid, and ornithine.

Secondary bile acids improve risk prediction for non-invasive identification of mild liver fibrosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2023; 57:872-885. [PMID: 36670060 PMCID: PMC10792530 DOI: 10.1111/apt.17362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysregulated bile acid (BA) metabolism has been linked to steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). AIM To determine whether circulating BA levels accurately stage liver fibrosis in NAFLD. METHODS We recruited 550 Chinese adults with biopsy-proven NAFLD and varying levels of fibrosis. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry was performed to quantify 38 serum BAs. RESULTS Compared to those without fibrosis, patients with mild fibrosis (stage F1) had significantly higher levels of secondary BAs, and increased diastolic blood pressure (DBP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), body mass index, and waist circumstance (WC). The combination of serum BAs with WC, DBP, ALT, or Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance performed well in identifying mild fibrosis, in men and women, and in those with/without obesity, with AUROCs 0.80, 0.88, 0.75 and 0.78 in the training set (n = 385), and 0.69, 0.80, 0.61 and 0.69 in the testing set (n = 165), respectively. In comparison, the combination of BAs and clinical/biochemical biomarkers performed less well in identifying significant fibrosis (F2-4). In women and in non-obese subjects, AUROCs were 0.75 and 0.71 in the training set, 0.65 and 0.66 in the validation set, respectively. However, these AUROCs were higher than those observed for the fibrosis-4 index, NAFLD fibrosis score, and Hepamet fibrosis score. CONCLUSIONS Secondary BA levels were significantly increased in NAFLD, especially in those with mild fibrosis. The combination of serum BAs and clinical/biochemical biomarkers for identifying mild fibrosis merits further assessment.

Abstract
Bile acids (BAs) play an important role in pre-diagnosing drug-induced liver injury (DILI). However, in clinical practice, different types of liver injury are characterized by different pathogeneses and pathological manifestations. Therefore, whether BAs can be used as biomarkers across different DILIs remains unclear. In this study, an ultra-performance chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS-based technique was developed for the simultaneous quantitative analysis of 31 BAs in the serum, liver, feces, urine, and intestinal contents of rats treated with acetaminophen (APAP) and geniposide to induce liver injury. The total extraction recovery for representative analytes ranged between 80.60% and 99.23% in the serum, urine, liver, feces, and intestinal contents. The correlation coefficients for all standard curves of the different matrices were at least 0.99. Validation of the BA analytical method including selectivity, residue, lower limit of quantification, accuracy, precision, matrix effect, and stability conformed with the biospecimen quality control standards of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (version 2020). Serum biochemical and pathohistological analyses revealed APAP- and geniposide-induced hepatocellular and cholestatic DILI, respectively, with different effects on BA profiles in the enterohepatic circulation. Metabolomics further revealed that the trends in BA changes in the serum, feces, urine, and intestinal tissues were consistent between the geniposide- and APAP-treated groups. However, in the liver, the total BAs (TBA) concentration increased by 1.70 fold in the geniposide group but decreased by 43% in the APAP group compared with the control group. Multivariate analysis revealed differentially expressed BAs, including TCA, CA, and GCA, which are potential biomarkers for DILI, in the serum, liver, and urine following treatment with geniposide. Interestingly, the differentially expressed BAs in the APAP group were similar to those in the control group. Additionally, the magnitude of changes in the TBA in the urine (3.3 fold and 15.5 fold in the APAP and geniposide groups, respectively) was higher than that in the blood (290 fold and 640 fold in the APAP and geniposide groups, respectively). However, given the BA profiles after geniposide- and APAP-induced liver injury, BAs were found to be more suitable as biomarkers for diagnosing cholestatic liver injury. Overall, the BA assay developed in this study is rapid, simple, accurate, validated, sensitive, and suitable for analyzing the levels and distribution of BAs in various parts of the enterohepatic circulation.

Abstract
A simple, sensitive, and reliable quantification and identification method was developed and validated for simultaneous analysis of 58 bile acids (BAs) in human and rodent (mouse and rat) fecal samples. The method involves an extraction step with a 5% ammonium–ethanol aqueous solution; the BAs were quantified by high-resolution mass spectrometry (ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry, UPLC–Q-TOF). The recoveries were 80.05–120.83%, with coefficient variations (CVs) of 0.01–9.82% for three biological species. The limits of detection (LODs) were in the range of 0.01–0.24 μg/kg, and the limits of quantification (LOQs) ranged from 0.03 to 0.81 μg/kg. In addition, the analytical method was used to identify and quantify BAs in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, C57BL/6 mice, and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The fecal BA profile and analysis of BA indices in these samples provide valuable information for further BA metabolic disorder research.

Abstract
Most LC-MS based bile acid analyses target common bile acids. The identification of unknown bile acids remains challenging in untargeted experiments. Here, a software named BAFinder was developed to improve the identification of unknown bile acids from accurate mass LC-MS/MS data in both the positive and negative ESI modes. A wide variety of bile acid structures were covered in BAFinder, including oxidized bile acids and sugar conjugates that were often ignored. The annotation of unknown bile acids was based on a thorough investigation of MS/MS fragmentation patterns of 84 bile acid reference standards in both modes. Specifically, BAFinder took the peak alignment result and MS/MS spectra, grouped candidate features in positive and negative modes, searched their representative MS/MS spectra against a MS/MS library, and used characteristic product ions and neutral losses to annotate bile acids not covered in the library. Finally, the number of hydroxyl groups and double bonds, conjugation, and isomer information of bile acids were reported with four different levels of annotation confidence. The use of BAFinder was demonstrated through successful application to the analysis of human plasma and urine samples, in which a total of 112 and 244 bile acids were annotated and 75 and 111 of them were confirmed with standards or synthesized compounds, respectively. The software is freely available at https://bafinder.github.io/.

Secondary (iso)BAs cooperate with endogenous ligands to activate FXR under physiological and pathological conditions. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2021; 1867:166153. [PMID: 33895309 PMCID: PMC8177068 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2021.166153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
IsoBAs, stereoisomers of primary and secondary BAs, are found in feces and plasma of human individuals. BA signaling via the nuclear receptor FXR is crucial for regulation of hepatic and intestinal physiology/pathophysiology. AIM Investigate the ability of BA-stereoisomers to bind and modulate FXR under physiological/pathological conditions. METHODS Expression-profiling, luciferase-assays, fluorescence-based coactivator-association assays, administration of (iso)-BAs to WT and cholestatic mice. RESULTS Compared to CDCA/isoCDCA, administration of DCA/isoDCA, UDCA/isoUDCA only slightly increased mRNA expression of FXR target genes; the induction was more evident looking at pre-mRNAs. Notably, almost 50% of isoBAs were metabolized to 3-oxo-BAs within 4 h in cell-based assays, making it difficult to study their actions. FRET-based real-time monitoring of FXR activity revealed that isoCDCA>CDCA stimulated FXR, and isoDCA and isoUDCA allowed fully activated FXR to be re-stimulated by a second dose of GW4064. In vivo co-administration of a single dose of isoBAs followed by GW4064 cooperatively activated FXR, as did feeding of UDCA in a background of endogenous FXR ligands. However, in animals with biliary obstruction and concomitant loss of intestinal BAs, UDCA was unable to increase intestinal Fgf15. In contrast, mice with an impaired enterohepatic circulation of BAs (Asbt-/-, Ostα-/-), administration of UDCA was still able to induce ileal Fgf15 and repress hepatic BA-synthesis, arguing that UDCA is only effective in the presence of endogenous FXR ligands. CONCLUSION Secondary (iso)BAs cooperatively activate FXR in the presence of endogenous BAs, which is important to consider in diseases linked to disturbances in BA enterohepatic cycling.

Abstract
Hyocholic acid (HCA) and its derivatives are found in trace amounts in human blood but constitute approximately 76% of the bile acid (BA) pool in pigs, a species known for its exceptional resistance to type 2 diabetes. Here, we show that BA depletion in pigs suppressed secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and increased blood glucose levels. HCA administration in diabetic mouse models improved serum fasting GLP-1 secretion and glucose homeostasis to a greater extent than tauroursodeoxycholic acid. HCA upregulated GLP-1 production and secretion in enteroendocrine cells via simultaneously activating G-protein-coupled BA receptor, TGR5, and inhibiting farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a unique mechanism that is not found in other BA species. We verified the findings in TGR5 knockout, intestinal FXR activation, and GLP-1 receptor inhibition mouse models. Finally, we confirmed in a clinical cohort, that lower serum concentrations of HCA species were associated with diabetes and closely related to glycemic markers.

Abstract
CONTEXT The etiological mechanism of bile acid (BA) effects on insulin resistance and obesity is unknown. OBJECTIVE This work aimed to determine whether plasma BAs are elevated in human obesity and/or insulin resistance. METHODS This observational study was conducted at an academic research center. Seventy-one adult volunteers formed 4 groups: lean insulin-sensitive (body mass index [BMI] ≤ 25 kg/m2, Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance [HOMA-IR] < 2.0, n = 19), overweight/obese nondiabetic who were either insulin sensitive (Obsensitive, BMI > 25 kg/m2, HOMA-IR < 1.5, n = 11) or insulin resistant (Obresistant, BMI > 25 kg/m2, HOMA-IR > 3.0, n = 20), and type 2 diabetes (T2D, n = 21). Main outcome measures included insulin sensitivity by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, body composition by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, abdominal fat distribution, and liver density by computed tomography and plasma BA. RESULTS In the Obresistant group, glucose infusion rate/fat-free mass (GIR/FFM, an inverse measure of insulin resistance) was significantly lower, and visceral and liver fat higher, compared to lean and Obsensitive individuals, despite similar total adiposity in Obresistant and Obsensitive. Total BA concentrations were higher in Obresistant (2.62 ± 0.333 mmol/L, P = .03) and T2D (3.36 ± 0.582 mmol/L, P < .001) vs Obsensitive (1.16 ± 0.143 mmol/L), but were similar between Obsensitive and lean (2.31 ± 0.329 mmol/L) individuals. Total BAs were positively associated with waist circumference (R = 0.245, P = .041), visceral fat (R = 0.360, P = .002), and fibroblast growth factor 21 (R = 0.341, P = .004) and negatively associated with insulin sensitivity (R = -0.395, P = .001), abdominal subcutaneous fat (R = -0.352, P = .003), adiponectin (R = -0.375, P = .001), and liver fat (Hounsfield units, an inverse marker of liver fat, R = -0.245, P = .04). Conjugated BAs were additionally elevated in T2D individuals (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS BA concentrations correlated with abdominal, visceral, and liver fat in humans, though an etiological role in insulin resistance remains to be verified.

[PMID: 33674269 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.121.000385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Deoxycholic acid (DCA, 3α, 12α-dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid) is the major circulating secondary bile acid, which is synthesized by gut flora in the lower gut and selectively oxidized by CYP3A into tertiary metabolites, including 1β,3α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid (DCA-1β-ol) and 3α,5β,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid (DCA-5β-ol) in humans. Since DCA has the similar exogenous nature and disposition mechanisms as xenobiotics, this work aimed to investigate whether the tertiary oxidations of DCA are predictive of in vivo CYP3A activities in beagle dogs. In vitro metabolism of midazolam (MDZ) and DCA in recombinant canine CYP1A1, 1A2, 2B11, 2C21, 2C41, 2D15, 3A12, and 3A26 enzymes clarified that CYP3A12 was primarily responsible for either the oxidation elimination of MDZ or the regioselective oxidation metabolism of DCA into DCA-1β-ol and DCA-5β-ol in dog liver microsomes. Six male dogs completed the CYP3A intervention studies including phases of baseline, inhibition (ketoconazole treatments), recovery, and induction (rifampicin treatments). The oral MDZ clearance after a single dose was determined on the last day of the baseline, inhibition, and induction phases, and subjected to correlation analysis with the tertiary oxidation ratios of DCA detected in serum and urine samples. The results confirmed that the predosing serum ratios of DCA oxidation, DCA-5β-ol/DCA, and DCA-1β-ol/DCA were significantly and positively correlated both intraindividually and interindividually with oral MDZ clearance. It was therefore concluded that the tertiary oxidation of DCA is predictive of CYP3A activity in beagle dogs. Clinical transitional studies following the preclinical evidence are promising to provide novel biomarkers of the enterohepatic CYP3A activities. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Drug development, clinical pharmacology, and therapeutics are under insistent demands of endogenous CYP3A biomarkers that avoid unnecessary drug exposure and invasive sampling. This work has provided the first proof-of-concept preclinical evidence that the CYP3A catalyzed tertiary oxidation of deoxycholate, the major circulating secondary bile acid synthesized in the lower gut by bacteria, may be developed as novel in vivo biomarkers of the enterohepatic CYP3A activities.

Abstract
Primary bile acids (BAs) and their gut microbial metabolites have a role in regulating human health. Comprehensive characterization of BAs species in human biological samples will aid in understanding the interaction between diet, gut microbiota, and bile acid metabolism. Therefore, we developed a qualitative method using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with a quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) to identify BAs in human plasma, feces, and urine samples. A quantitative method was developed using UHPLC coupled with triple quadrupole (QQQ) and applied to a previous clinical trial conducted by our group to understand the bile acid metabolism in overweight/obese middle-aged adults (n = 34) after four weeks strawberry vs. control intervention. The qualitative study tentatively identified a total of 81 BAs in human biological samples. Several BA glucuronide-conjugates were characterized for the first time in human plasma and/or urine samples. The four-week strawberry intervention significantly reduced plasma concentrations of individual secondary BAs, deoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid and their glycine conjugates, as well as glycoursodeoxycholic acid compared to control (p < 0.05); total glucuronide-, total oxidized-, total dehydroxyl-, total secondary, and total plasma BAs were also lowered compared to control (p < 0.05). The reduced secondary BAs concentrations suggest that regular strawberry intake modulates the microbial metabolism of BAs.

Abstract
With rapid advances in gut microbiome research, fecal bile acids are increasingly being monitored as potential biomarkers of diet related disease susceptibility. As such, rapid, robust and reliable methods for their analysis are of increasing importance. Herein is described a simple extraction method for the analysis of bile acids in feces suitable for subsequent quantification by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. A C18 column separated the analytes with excellent peak shape and retention time repeatability maintained across 800 injections. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy was greater than 80%. Recoveries ranged from 83.58 to 122.41%. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were in the range 2.5-15 nM, respectively. The optimized method involved extracting bile acids from wet feces with minimal clean up. A second aliquot of fecal material was dried and weighed to correct for water content. Extracting from dried feces showed reduced recovery that could be corrected for by spiking the feces with deuterated standards prior to drying. Storage of the extracts and standards in a refrigerated autosampler prior to analysis on the LC-MS is necessary. Multiple freeze-thaws of both extracts and standards lead to poor recoveries for some bile acids. The method was successfully applied to 100 human fecal samples.

Abstract
AbstractBile acids (BAs) are synthesized in the liver and can mediate homeostasis and various metabolism processes in the human body. Their levels in the gastrointestinal tract are closely related to various gastrointestinal diseases. In particular, farnesoid X receptor activated by free BAs is associated with overexpression of histidine decarboxylase in tumorigenesis. Therefore, comprehensive profiling of histamine (HIST), histidine (His), and BAs in biological samples can provide insight into the pathological mechanisms of gastrointestinal diseases. However, development of an analytical platform to profile HIST, His, and BAs in biological samples has several challenges such as highly different polarities between acidic and basic targets, low physiological concentrations of analytes, and high matrix interference of biological samples. In this study, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method combined with serial derivatization was developed to simultaneously determine HIST, His, and 5 BAs (cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid, and lithocholic acid) in human gastric fluid. In serial derivatization, benzoyl chloride (BzCl) and N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (DMED) were used to selectively derivatize amino and carboxyl groups of analytes, respectively. After serial derivatization, all target derivatives were determined using a reverse-phase C18 LC column and positive multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, with reasonable chromatographic separation and sensitive MS detection. To accurately quantify target metabolites, 7 stable isotope-labeled internal standards were used. The MS/MS spectra of DMED and Bz derivatives exhibited specific fragments via loss of a neutral molecule (dimethylamine; 45 Da) and inductive cleavage (benzoyl; m/z 105) from protonated molecules, enabling selection of appropriate MRM transition ions for selective and sensitive detection. The developed method was validated with respect to limits of detection and quantification, linearity, precision, accuracy, stability, and matrix effect. The established method was successfully applied to human gastric fluid samples. This method provides reliable quantification of HIST, His, and BAs in human gastric fluid and will be helpful to understand pathophysiological mechanisms of gastric diseases.

Abstract
Bile acids (BAs), as crucial endogenous metabolites, are closely related to cholestasis, metabolic disorders, and cancer. To better understand their function and disease pathogenesis, global profiling of BAs is necessary. Here, multidimensional data mining was developed for the discovery and identification of potentially unknown BAs in cholestasis rats. Based on an in-house theoretical BA database and using a newly established liquid chromatography-tandem high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS) method, four-dimensional (4D) data including the retention times (RT), abundances, HRMS, and HRMS/MS spectra were acquired and elucidated. And 491 BAs were totally profiled. Then, the relationships between RT with different conjugation types, different positions and configurations of hydroxyl/ketone groups as well as fragmentation rules of hydroxyl, ortho-hydroxyl, ketone, and conjugated groups of BAs were summarized to assist BA identification for the first time. Finally, 292 BAs were assigned with molecular formulas, 201 of which were putatively identified by integrating the 4D data, applying structure-driven relative retention time rules, and a comparison with synthetic BAs. The estimated concentrations of 201 BAs, including 93 reported and 108 newly identified BAs, were quantified by using surrogate standards with similar structure. Among 201 BAs, 38 BAs were detected in both humans and rats for the first time. Our strategy has expanded the scope of BAs and provides a way to identify a class of metabolites. Compared to normal rats, the significantly increased sulfated and glucuronide conjugated BAs in urine and feces from experimentally cholestatic rats may reveal a way to diagnose intrahepatic cholestasis.

Abstract
Bile acids are a group of compounds essential for lipid digestion and absorption with a steroid skeleton and a carboxylate side chain usually conjugated to glycine or taurine. Bile acids are regulatory molecules for a number of metabolic processes and can be used as biomarkers of various disorders. Since the middle of the twentieth century, the detection of bile acids has evolved from simple qualitative analysis to accurate quantification in complicated mixtures. Advanced methods are required to characterize and quantify individual bile acids in these mixtures. This article overviews the literature from the last two decades (2000-2020) and focuses on bile acid analysis in various human biological samples. The methods for sample preparation, including the sample treatment of conventional (blood plasma, blood serum, and urine) and unconventional samples (bile, saliva, duodenal/gastric juice, feces, etc.) are shortly discussed. Eventually, the focus is on novel analytical approaches and methods for each particular biological sample, providing an overview of the microcolumn separation techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis, used in their analysis. This is followed by a discussion on selected clinical applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The goal is to review the connection between gut microbiota and cardiovascular disease, with specific emphasis on bile acids, and the influence of diet in modulating this relationship. RECENT FINDINGS Bile acids exert a much broader range of biological functions than initially recognized, including regulation of cardiovascular function through direct and indirect mechanisms. There is a bi-directional relationship between gut microbiota modulation of bile acid-signaling properties, and their effects on gut microbiota composition. Evidence, primarily from rodent models and limited human trials, suggest that dietary modulation of the gut microbiome significantly impacts bile acid metabolism and subsequently host physiological response(s). Available evidence suggests that the link between diet, gut microbiota, and CVD risk is potentially mediated via bile acid effects on diverse metabolic pathways. However, further studies are needed to confirm/expand and translate these findings in a clinical setting.

Urinary Bile Acid Profile of Newborns Born by Cesarean Section Is Characterized by Oxidative Metabolism of Primary Bile Acids: Limited Roles of Fetal-Specific CYP3A7 in Cholate Oxidations. Drug Metab Dispos 2020; 48:662-672. [PMID: 32499339 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.120.000011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
This work aims to investigate how the bile acid metabolism of newborns differs from that of adults along the axis of primary, secondary, and tertiary bile acids (BAs). The total unconjugated BA profiles were quantitatively determined by enzyme digestion techniques in urine of 21 newborns born by cesarean section, 29 healthy parturient women, 30 healthy males, and 28 healthy nonpregnant females. As expected, because of a lack of developed gut microbiota, newborns exhibited poor metabolism of secondary BAs. Accordingly, the tertiary BAs contributed limitedly to the urinary excretion of BAs in newborns despite their tertiary-to-secondary ratios significantly increasing. As a result, the primary BAs of newborns underwent extensive oxidative metabolism, resulting in elevated urinary levels of some fetal-specific BAs, including 3-dehydroCA, 3β,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid, 3α,12-oxo-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid, and nine tetrahydroxy-cholan-24-oic acids (Tetra-BAs). Parturient women had significantly elevated urinary levels of tertiary BAs and fetal-specific BAs compared with female control, indicating that they may be excreted into amniotic fluid for maternal disposition. An in vitro metabolism assay in infant liver microsomes showed that four Tetra-BAs and 3-dehydroCA were hydroxylated metabolites of cholate, glycocholate, and particularly taurocholate. However, the recombinant cytochrome P450 enzyme assay found that the fetal-specific CYP3A7 did not contribute to these oxidation metabolisms as much as expected compared with CYP3A4. In conclusion, newborns show a BA metabolism pattern predominated by primary BA oxidations due to immaturity of secondary BA metabolism. Translational studies following this finding may bring new ideas and strategies for both pediatric pharmacology and diagnosis and treatment of perinatal cholestasis-associated diseases. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The prenatal BA disposition is different from adults because of a lack of gut microbiota. However, how the BA metabolism of newborns differs from that of adults along the axis of primary, secondary, and tertiary BAs remains poorly defined. This work demonstrated that the urinary BA profiles of newborns born by cesarean section are characterized by oxidative metabolism of primary BAs, in which the fetal-specific CYP3A7 plays a limited role in the downstream oxidation metabolism of cholate.

Abstract
It was recently disclosed that CYP3A is responsible for the tertiary stereoselective oxidations of deoxycholic acid (DCA), which becomes a continuum mechanism of the host-gut microbial cometabolism of bile acids (BAs) in humans. This work aims to investigate the species differences of BA redox metabolism and clarify whether the tertiary metabolism of DCA is a conserved pathway in preclinical animals. With quantitative determination of the total unconjugated BAs in urine and fecal samples of humans, dogs, rats, and mice, it was confirmed that the tertiary oxidized metabolites of DCA were found in all tested animals, whereas DCA and its oxidized metabolites disappeared in germ-free mice. The in vitro metabolism data of DCA and the other unconjugated BAs in liver microsomes of humans, monkeys, dogs, rats, and mice showed consistencies with the BA-profiling data, confirming that the tertiary oxidation of DCA is a conserved pathway. In liver microsomes of all tested animals, however, the oxidation activities toward DCA were far below the murine-specific 6β-oxidation activities toward chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), ursodeoxycholic acid, and lithocholic acid (LCA), and 7-oxidation activities toward murideoxycholic acid and hyodeoxycholic acid came from the 6-hydroxylation of LCA. These findings provided further explanations for why murine animals have significantly enhanced downstream metabolism of CDCA compared with humans. In conclusion, the species differences of BA redox metabolism disclosed in this work will be useful for the interspecies extrapolation of BA biology and toxicology in translational researches. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: It is important to understand the species differences of bile acid metabolism when deciphering biological and hepatotoxicology findings from preclinical studies. However, the species differences of tertiary bile acids are poorly understood compared with primary and secondary bile acids. This work confirms that the tertiary oxidation of deoxycholic acid is conserved among preclinical animals and provides deeper understanding of how and why the downstream metabolism of chenodeoxycholic acid dominates that of cholic acid in murine animals compared with humans.

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
The microbiota confers colonization resistance, which blocks Salmonella gut colonization1. As diet affects microbiota composition, we studied whether food composition shifts enhance susceptibility to infection. Shifting mice to diets with reduced fibre or elevated fat content for 24 h boosted Salmonella Typhimurium or Escherichia coli gut colonization and plasmid transfer. Here, we studied the effect of dietary fat. Colonization resistance was restored within 48 h of return to maintenance diet. Salmonella gut colonization was also boosted by two oral doses of oleic acid or bile salts. These pathogen blooms required Salmonella's AcrAB/TolC-dependent bile resistance. Our data indicate that fat-elicited bile promoted Salmonella gut colonization. Both E. coli and Salmonella show much higher bile resistance than the microbiota. Correspondingly, competitive E. coli can be protective in the fat-challenged gut. Diet shifts and fat-elicited bile promote S. Typhimurium gut infections in mice lacking E. coli in their microbiota. This mouse model may be useful for studying pathogen-microbiota-host interactions, the protective effect of E. coli, to analyse the spread of resistance plasmids and assess the impact of food components on the infection process.

Stereoselective Oxidation Kinetics of Deoxycholate in Recombinant and Microsomal CYP3A Enzymes: Deoxycholate 19-Hydroxylation Is an In Vitro Marker of CYP3A7 Activity. Drug Metab Dispos 2019; 47:574-581. [PMID: 30918015 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.119.086637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2019] [Accepted: 03/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The primary bile acids (BAs) synthesized from cholesterol in the liver are converted to secondary BAs by gut microbiota. It was recently disclosed that the major secondary BA, deoxycholate (DCA) species, is stereoselectively oxidized to tertiary BAs exclusively by CYP3A enzymes. This work subsequently investigated the in vitro oxidation kinetics of DCA at C-1β, C-3β, C-4β, C-5β, C-6α, C-6β, and C-19 in recombinant CYP3A enzymes and naive enzymes in human liver microsomes (HLMs). The stereoselective oxidation of DCA fit well with Hill kinetics at 1-300 μM in both recombinant CYP3A enzymes and pooled HLMs. With no contributions or trace contributions from CYP3A5, CYP3A7 favors oxidation at C-19, C-4β, C-6α, C-3β, and C-1β, whereas CYP3A4 favors the oxidation at C-5β and C-6β compared with each other. Correlation between DCA oxidation and testosterone 6β-hydroxylation in 14 adult single-donor HLMs provided proof-of-concept evidence that DCA 19-hydroxylation is an in vitro marker reaction for CYP3A7 activity, whereas oxidation at other sites represents mixed indicators for CYP3A4 and CYP3A7 activities. Deactivation caused by DCA-induced cytochrome P450-cytochrome P420 conversion, as shown by the spectral titrations of isolated CYP3A proteins, was observed when DCA levels were near or higher than the critical micelle concentration (about 1500 μM). Unlike CYP3A4, CYP3A7 showed abnormally elevated activities at 500 and 750 μM, which might be associated with an altered affinity for DCA multimers. The disclosed kinetic and functional roles of CYP3A isoforms in disposing of the gut bacteria-derived DCA may help in understanding the structural and functional mechanisms of CYP3A.

Abstract
The gut microbiota modifies endogenous primary bile acids (BAs) to produce exogenous secondary BAs, which may be further metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s). Our primary aim was to examine how the host adapts to the stress of microbe-derived secondary BAs by P450-mediated oxidative modifications on the steroid nucleus. Five unconjugated tri-hydroxyl BAs that were structurally and/or biologically associated with deoxycholate (DCA) were determined in human biologic samples by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in combination with enzyme-digestion techniques. They were identified as DCA-19-ol, DCA-6β-ol, DCA-5β-ol, DCA-6α-ol, DCA-1β-ol, and DCA-4β-ol based on matching in-laboratory synthesized standards. Metabolic inhibition assays in human liver microsomes and recombinant P450 assays revealed that CYP3A4 and CYP3A7 were responsible for the regioselective oxidations of both DCA and its conjugated forms, glycodeoxycholate (GDCA) and taurodeoxycholate (TDCA). The modification of secondary BAs to tertiary BAs defines a host liver (primary BAs)-gut microbiota (secondary BAs)-host liver (tertiary BAs) axis. The regioselective oxidations of DCA, GDCA, and TDCA by CYP3A4 and CYP3A7 may help eliminate host-toxic DCA species. The 19- and 4β-hydroxylation of DCA species demonstrated outstanding CYP3A7 selectivity and may be useful as indicators of CYP3A7 activity.

Analysis of human C24 bile acids metabolome in serum and urine based on enzyme digestion of conjugated bile acids and LC-MS determination of unconjugated bile acids.

Abstract
Host-gut microbiota metabolic interactions are closely associated with health and disease. A manifestation of such co-metabolism is the vast structural diversity of bile acids (BAs) involving both oxidative stereochemistry and conjugation. Herein, we describe the development and validation of a LC-MS-based method for the analysis of human C24 BA metabolome in serum and urine. The method has high throughput covering the discrimination of oxidative stereochemistry of unconjugated species in a 15-min analytical cycle. The validated quantitative performance provided an indirect way to ascertain the conjugation patterns of BAs via enzyme-digestion protocols that incorporated the enzymes, sulfatase, β-glucuronidase, and choloylglycine hydrolase. Application of the method has led to the detection of at least 70 unconjugated BAs including 27 known species and 43 newly found species in the post-prandial serum and urine samples from 7 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis patients and 13 healthy volunteers. Newly identified unconjugated BAs included 3α, 12β-dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid, 12α-hydroxy-3-oxo-5β-cholan-24-oic acid, and 3α, 7α, 12β-trihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid. High-definition negative fragment spectra of the other major unknown species were acquired to facilitate future identification endeavors. An extensive conjugation pattern is the major reason for the "invisibility" of the newly found BAs to other common analytical methods. Metabolomic analysis of the total unconjugated BA profile in combination with analysis of their conjugation patterns and urinary excretion tendencies have provided substantial insights into the interconnected roles of host and gut microbiota in maintaining BA homeostasis. It was proposed that the urinary total BA profile may serve as an ideal footprint for the functional status of the host-gut microbial BA co-metabolism. In summary, this work provided a powerful tool for human C24 BA metabolome analysis that bridges the gap between GC-MS techniques in the past age and LC-MS techniques currently prevailing in biomedical researches. Further applications of the present method in clinical, translational research, and other biomedical explorations will continue to boost the construction of a host-gut microbial co-metabolism network of BAs and thus facilitate the decryption of BA-mediated host-gut microbiota crosstalk in health and diseases.

Abstract
Urine is a biological matrix that contains hundreds of metabolic end products which constitute the urinary metabolome. The development and advances on LC-MS/MS have revolutionized the analytical study of biomolecules by enabling their accurate identification and quantification in an unprecedented manner. Nowadays, LC-MS/MS is helping to unveil the complexity of urine metabolome, and the results obtained have multiple biomedical applications. This review focuses on the targeted LC-MS/MS analysis of the urine metabolome. In the first part, we describe general considerations (from sample collection to quantitation) required for a proper targeted metabolic analysis. In the second part, we address the urinary analysis and recent applications of four relevant families: amino acids, catecholamines, lipids and steroids.

Abstract
Bile acids (BAs) are major components of bile synthesized from cholesterol and take part in the digestion of dietary lipids, as well as having signaling functions. They undergo extensive microbial metabolism inside the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we present a method of ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography coupled to ion trap mass spectrometry for quantification of 45 BAs in mouse cecum. The system was validated in regard to sensitivity with limits of detection and quantification (0.6-24.9 nM), interday accuracy (102.4%), interday precision (15.2%), recovery rate (74.7%), matrix effect (98.2%) and carry-over effect (<1.1%). Afterwards, we applied our method to investigate the effect of metformin on BA profiles. Diabetic mice were treated with metformin for 1 day or 14 days. One day of treatment resulted in a significant increase of total BA concentration (2.7-fold increase; db/db metformin 5.32 μmol/g, db/db control mice 1.95 μmol/g), most notable in levels of 7-oxodeoxycholic, 3-dehydrocholic and cholic acid. We observed only minor impact on BA metabolism after 14 days of metformin treatment, compared to the single treatment. Furthermore, healthy wild type mice had elevated concentrations of allocholic and ω-muricholic acid compared to diabetic mice. Our method proved the applicability of profiling BAs in cecum to investigate intestinal BA metabolism in diabetes and pharmacological applications.
