Abstract
The maturation of B cells is a complex, multi-step process. During B cell differentiation, errors can occur, leading to the emergence of aberrant versions of B cells that, finally, constitute a malignant tumor. These B cell malignancies are classified into three main groups: leukemias, myelomas, and lymphomas, the latter being the most heterogeneous type. Since their discovery, multiple biological studies have been performed to characterize these diseases, aiming to define their specific features and determine potential biomarkers for diagnosis, stratification, and prognosis. The rise of advanced -omics approaches has significantly contributed to this end. Notably, proteomics strategies appear as promising tools to comprehensively profile the final molecular effector of these cells. In this narrative review, we first introduce the main B cell malignancies together with the most relevant proteomics approaches. Then, we describe the core studies conducted in the field and their main findings and, finally, we evaluate the advantages and drawbacks of flow cytometry, mass cytometry, and mass spectrometry for the profiling of human B cell disorders.

Abstract
Purine nucleoside analogues are widely used in the treatment of haematological malignancies, and their biological activity is dependent on the intracellular accumulation of their triphosphorylated metabolites. In this context, we developed and validated a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to study the formation of 5'-triphosphorylated derivatives of cladribine, fludarabine, clofarabine and 2'-deoxyadenosine in human cancer cells. Br-ATP was used as internal standard. Separation was achieved on a hypercarb column. Analytes were eluted with a mixture of hexylamine (5 mM), DEA (0.4%, v/v, pH 10.5) and acetonitrile, in a gradient mode at a flow rate of 0.3mLmin-1. Multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) and electrospray ionization in negative mode (ESI-) were used for detection. The application of this method to the quantification of these phosphorylated cytotoxic compounds in a human follicular lymphoma cell line, showed that it was suitable for the study of relevant biological samples.

Abstract
Quantification of endogenous nucleotides is of interest for investigation of numerous cellular biochemical processes, such as energy metabolism and signal transduction, and may also be applied in cancer and antiretroviral therapies in which nucleoside analogues are used. For these purposes we developed and validated a sensitive and high accuracy ion-pair liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (IP LC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous quantification of eight endogenous nucleotides (ATP, CTP, GTP, UTP, dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP) and 2',2'-difluoro-2'-deoxycytidine triphosphate (dFdCTP), an intracellular metabolite of the nucleoside analogue gemcitabine. The assay was validated using 200μL aliquots of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (20×10(6)cells/ml, 4×10(6)cells) extracts, pretreated with activated charcoal and spiked with unlabeled nucleotides, deoxynucleotides and dFdCTP. Analytes were extracted by simple precipitation with cold 60% methanol containing isotope labeled internal standards and separated on a porous graphitic carbon column. For method validation, the concentration ranges were: 0.125-20.8pmol injected for deoxynucleotides, 0.25-312.5pmol injected for dFdCTP and 5-3200pmol injected for nucleotides. The highest coefficients of variation (CV) were 12.1% for within run assay and 11.4% for between run assay, both representing the precision at the lowest analyte concentrations. The method was applied to monitor dFdCTP and changes in endogenous nucleotides in patients who were receiving gemcitabine infusions.

Development of an LC-MS/MS assay for the quantitative determination of the intracellular 5-fluorouracil nucleotides responsible for the anticancer effect of 5-fluorouracil. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2015; 110:58-66. [PMID: 25804433 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2015.02.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2014] [Revised: 01/26/2015] [Accepted: 02/28/2015] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and its oral prodrug capecitabine are among the most widely used chemotherapeutics. For cytotoxic activity, 5-FU requires cellular uptake and intracellular metabolic activation. Three intracellular formed metabolites are responsible for the antineoplastic effect of 5-FU: 5-fluorouridine 5'-triphosphate (FUTP), 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate (FdUTP) and 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate (FdUMP). In this paper, we describe the development of an LC-MS/MS assay for quantification of these active 5-FU nucleotides in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Because the intracellular 5-FU nucleotide concentrations were very low, maximization of the release from the cell matrix and minimization of interference were critical factors. Therefore, a series of experiments was performed to select the best method for cell lysis and nucleotide extraction. Chromatography was optimized to obtain separation from endogenous nucleotides, and the effect of different cell numbers was examined. The assay was validated for the following concentration ranges in PBMC lysate: 0.488-19.9 nM for FUTP, 1.66-67.7 nM for FdUTP and 0.748-30.7 nM for FdUMP. Accuracies were between -2.2 and 7.0% deviation for all analytes, and the coefficient of variation values were ≤ 4.9%. The assay was successfully applied to quantify 5-FU nucleotides in PBMC samples from patients treated with capecitabine and patients receiving 5-FU intravenously. FUTP amounts up to 3054 fmol/10(6) PBMCs and FdUMP levels up to 169 fmol/10(6) PBMCs were measured. The FdUTP concentrations were below the lower limit of quantification. To our knowledge, this is the first time that 5-FU nucleotides were quantified in cells from patients treated with 5-FU or capecitabine without using a radiolabel.

Abstract
Targeted metabolite profiling has aided in the understanding of a variety of biological processes in the malaria parasite as well as in drug discovery. A fast and sensitive analytical method, based on ion-pairing reversed phase ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (IP-RP-UPLC-MS/MS), was optimized for the simultaneous analysis of intracellular levels of 35 purine and pyrimidine nucleobases, nucleosides, and nucleotides. This analytical method allows for chromatographic separation of highly polar metabolites using reverse phase chemistry within 15 min. The analytical performance of the method was evaluated and successfully applied to the quantification of purines and pyrimidines in Plasmodium falciparum and its host cell, the human erythrocyte. In addition, this method can be customized to include other related metabolites such as NADPH and NADP, among others.

Abstract
A specific and reliable HPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of 1-β-d-Arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-C), 1-β-d-Arabinofuranosyluracil (ara-U) and 1-β-d-Arabinofuranosylcytosine triphosphate (ara-CTP) in the leukemic cells for the first time. The analytes were separated on a C18 column (100mm×2.1mm, 1.8μm) and a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source was used for detection. The ion-pairing reagent, NFPA, was added to the mobile phase to retain the analytes in the column. The cell homogenates sample was prepared by the simple protein precipitation. The calibration curves were linear over a concentration range of 3.45-3450.0ng/mL for ara-C, 1.12-1120.0ng/mL for ara-U and 4.13-4130.0ng/mL for ara-CTP. The intra-day and inter-day precision was less than 15% and the relative error (RE) were all within ±15%. The validated method was successfully applied to assess the disposition characteristics of ara-C and support cell pharmacokinetics after the patients with leukemia were intravenously infused with SDAC and HiDAC. The result of the present study would provide the valuable information for the ara-C therapy.

Abstract
Analysis of intracellular metabolites in bacteria is of utmost importance for systems biology and at the same time analytically challenging due to the large difference in concentrations, multiple negative charges, and high polarity of these compounds. To challenge this, a method based on dispersive solid phase extraction with charcoal and subsequent analysis with ion-pair liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry was established for quantification of intracellular pools of the 28 most important nucleotides. The method can handle extracts where cells leak during the quenching. Using a Phenyl-Hexyl column and tributylamine as volatile ion-pair reagent, sufficient retention and separation was achieved for mono-, di-, and triphosphorylated nucleotides. Stable isotope labeled nucleotides were used as internal standards for some analytes. The method was validated by determination of the recovery, matrix effects, accuracy, linearity, and limit of detection based on spiking of medium blank as well as standard addition to quenched Lactococcus lactis samples. For standard addition experiments, the isotope-labeled standards needed to be added in similar or higher concentrations as the analytes. L. lactis samples had an energy charge of 0.97 ± 0.001 which was consistent with literature, whereas some differences were observed compared with legacy data based on ³³P labeling.

Abstract
This study evaluates an in vitro biosensor assay capable of detecting the intracellular levels of the tri-phosphorylated form of cytarabine (Ara-CTP) within one working day. The biosensor predicted the response of seven leukaemic cell lines with varying known sensitivities to cytarabine alone and in combination with fludarabine. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), 3-day assessment of cellular viable mass, and flow cytometric assessment of apoptosis were used to validate biosensor performance. A correlation between the biosensor results and Ara-CTP quantitation by HPLC was confirmed (R=0.972). The biosensor was also capable of detecting enhanced accumulation of Ara-CTP following sequential pre-treatment of leukaemic cells with cytarabine ± fludarabine.

Abstract
Intermediates of the purine biosynthesis pathway play key roles in cellular metabolism including nucleic acid synthesis and signal mediation. In addition, they are also of major interest to the biotechnological industry as several intermediates either possess flavor-enhancing characteristics or are applied in medical therapy. In this study, we have developed an analytical method for quantitation of 12 intermediates from the purine biosynthesis pathway including important nucleotides and their corresponding nucleosides and nucleobases. The approach comprised a single-step acidic extraction/quenching procedure, followed by quantitative electrospray LC-MS/MS analysis. The assay was validated in terms of accuracy, precision, reproducibility, and applicability for complex biological matrices. The method was subsequently applied for determination of free intracellular pool sizes of purine biosynthetic pathway intermediates in the two Gram-positive bacteria Corynebacterium glutamicum and Corynebacterium ammoniagenes. Importantly, no ion pair reagents were applied in this approach as usually required for liquid chromatography analysis of large classes of diverse metabolites.

[PMID: 22819049 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2012.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2012] [Revised: 06/07/2012] [Accepted: 06/09/2012] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Plasmodium falciparum is the causative agent of malaria, a deadly infectious disease for which treatments are scarce and drug-resistant parasites are now increasingly found. A comprehensive method of identifying and quantifying metabolites of this intracellular parasite could expand the arsenal of tools to understand its biology, and be used to develop new treatments against the disease. Here, we present two methods based on liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for reliable measurement of water-soluble metabolites involved in phospholipid biosynthesis, as well as several other metabolites that reflect the metabolic status of the parasite including amino acids, carboxylic acids, energy-related carbohydrates, and nucleotides. A total of 35 compounds was quantified. In the first method, polar compounds were retained by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (amino column) and detected in negative mode using succinic acid-(13)C(4) and fluorovaline as internal standards. In the second method, separations were carried out using reverse phase (C18) ion-pair liquid chromatography, with heptafluorobutyric acid as a volatile ion pairing reagent in positive detection mode, using d(9)-choline and 4-aminobutanol as internal standards. Standard curves were performed in P. falciparum-infected and uninfected red blood cells using standard addition method (r(2)>0.99). The intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision as well as the extraction recovery of each compound were determined. The lower limit of quantitation varied from 50pmol to 100fmol/3×10(7)cells. These methods were validated and successfully applied to determine intracellular concentrations of metabolites from uninfected host RBCs and isolated Plasmodium parasites.

Abstract
Nucleoside analogs are widely used in anti-cancer, anti-(retro)viral, and immunosuppressive therapy. Nucleosides are prodrugs that require intracellular activation to mono-, di-, and finally triphosphates. Monitoring of these intracellular nucleotides is important to understand their pharmacology. The relatively involatile salts and ion-pairing agents traditionally used for the separation of these ionic analytes limit the applicability of mass spectrometry (MS) for detection. Both indirect and direct methods have been developed to circumvent this apparent incompatibility. Indirect methods consist of de-phosphorylation of the nucleotides into nucleosides before the actual analysis. Various direct approaches have been developed, ranging from the use of relatively volatile or very low levels of regular ion-pairing agents, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC), weak anion-exchange, or porous graphitic carbon columns to capillary electrophoresis and matrix-assisted light desorption--time of flight (MALDI-TOF) MS. In this review we present an overview of the publications describing the quantitative analysis of therapeutic intracellular nucleotide analogs using MS. The focus is on the different approaches for their direct analysis. We conclude that despite the technical hurdles, several useful MS-compatible chromatographic approaches have been developed, enabling the use of the excellent selectivity and sensitivity of MS for the quantitative analysis of intracellular nucleotides.

Abstract
We describe here a new reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry detection method for quantifying intact cytokinin nucleotides in human K-562 leukemia cells. Tandem mass spectrometry was used to identify the intracellular metabolites (cytokinin monophosphorylated, diphosphorylated, and triphosphorylated nucleotides) in riboside-treated cells. For the protein precipitation and sample preparation, a trichloroacetic acid extraction method is used. Samples are then back-extracted with diethyl ether, lyophilized, reconstituted, and injected into the LC system. Analytes were quantified in negative selected ion monitoring mode using a single quadrupole mass spectrometer. The method was validated in terms of retention time stabilities, limits of detection, linearity, recovery, and analytical accuracy. The developed method was linear in the range of 1-1,000 pmol for all studied compounds. The limits of detection for the analytes vary from 0.2 to 0.6 pmol.

Determination of nucleotides, nucleosides and their transformation products in Cordyceps by ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr A 2010; 1217:5501-10.

Abstract
An ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (IP-RP-LC-MS) was developed for the determination of nucleotides, nucleosides and their transformation products in Cordyceps. Perfluorinated carboxylic acid, namely pentadecafluorooctanoic acid (PDFOA, 0.25mM), was used as volatile ion-paring agent and a reversed-phase column (Agilent ZORBAX SB-Aq column) was used for the separation of three nucleotides namely uridine-5'-monophosphate (UMP, 0.638-10.200microg/mL), adenosine-5'-monophosphate (AMP, 0.24-7.80microg/mL) and guanosine-5'-monophosphate (GMP, 0.42-13.50microg/mL), seven nucleosides including adenosine (0.55-8.85microg/mL), guanosine (0.42-6.75microg/mL), uridine (0.33-10.50micro/mL), inosine (0.21-6.60microg/mL), cytidine (0.48-15.30microg/mL), thymidine (0.20-6.30microg/mL) and cordycepin (0.09-1.50microg/mL), as well as six nucleobases, adenine (0.22-6.90microg/mL), guanine (0.26-4.20microg/mL), uracil (0.38-12.15microg/mL), hypoxanthine (0.13-4.20microg/mL), cytosine (0.39-12.45microg/mL) and thymine (0.26-8.25microg/mL) with 5-chlorocytosine arabinoside as the internal standard. The overall LODs and LOQs were between 0.01-0.16microg/mL and 0.04-0.41microg/mL for the 16 analytes, respectively. The contents of 16 investigated compounds in natural and cultured Cordyceps were also determined and compared after validation of the developed IP-RP-LC-MS method. The transformations of nucleotides and nucleosides in Cordyceps were evaluated based on the quantification of the investigated compounds in three extracts, including boiling water extraction (BWE), 24h ambient temperature water immersion (ATWE) and 56h ATWE extracts. Two transformation pathways including UMP-->uridine-->uracil and GMP-->guanosine-->guanine were proposed in both natural Cordyceps sinensis and cultured Cordyceps militaris. The pathway of AMP-->adenosine-->inosine-->hypoxanthine was proposed in natural C. sinensis, while AMP-->adenosine-->adenine in cultured C. militaris. However, the transformation of nucleotides and nucleosides was not found in commercial cultured C. sinensis.

Abstract
Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) require intracellular phosphorylation, which involves multiple enzymatic steps to inhibit the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). NRTI-triphosphates (NRTI-TP) compete with endogenous 2'-deoxyribonucleosides-5'-triphosphates (dNTP) for incorporation by the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT). Thus, a highly sensitive analytical methodology capable of quantifying at the low femtomoles/10(6) cells level was necessary to understand the intracellular metabolism and antiviral activity of NRTIs in human peripheral blood mononuclear (PBM) cells and in macrophages. A novel, rapid, and a reproducible ion-pair chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method was developed to simultaneously quantify the intracellular phosphorylated metabolites of abacavir, emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, amdoxovir, and zidovudine, as well as four natural endogenous dNTP. Positive or negative electrospray ionization was chosen with specific MS/MS transitions for improved selectivity on all the compounds studied. The sample preparation, the ion-pair reagent concentration, and buffer composition were optimized, resulting in the simultaneous quantification of 13 different nucleotides in a total run time of 30 min. This novel method demonstrated optimal sensitivity (limit of detection 1-10 nM for various analytes), specificity, and reproducibility to successfully measure NRTI-TP and dNTP in human PBM cells and macrophages.

Simultaneous determination of nucleosides and nucleotides in dietary foods and beverages using ion-pairing liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2010; 878:2054-60.

Abstract
A method using ion-pairing liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometry (MS) was developed for the simultaneous determination of 23 types of purine or pyrimidine nucleosides and nucleotides in dietary foods and beverages. Dihexylammonium acetate (DHAA) was used as an ion-pairing agent and an ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) system with a reversed-phase column and a gradient program was employed for the separation of nucleosides and nucleotides. Positive-ion ESI-MS was applied for the detection of nucleosides, and negative-ion ESI-MS was used for nucleotides. Lower limits of quantitation ranged from 0.02 micromol/L (UMP and AMP) to 1.3 micromol/L (CDP). The present method was validated, and sufficient reproducibility and accuracy was obtained for the quantitative measurement of the 23 types of nucleosides and nucleotides. The method was subsequently applied to their determination in a range of Japanese foods and beverages that are considered to contain significant amounts of umami flavor compounds. Because dietary purine nucleosides and nucleotides are known to be related to hyperuricemia and gout, the determination of their concentrations in dietary foods is useful for both evaluating umami flavor and assessing the effects of dietary food on purine metabolism.

Abstract
Endogenous ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides play a crucial role in cell function. The determination of their levels is of fundamental interest in numerous applications such as energy metabolism, biochemical processes, or in understanding the mechanism of nucleoside analog compounds. Nucleoside analogs are widely used in anticancer therapy. Their mechanisms of action are related to their structural similarity with natural nucleotides. Numerous assays have been described for the determination of endogenous nucleotides or anticancer nucleotide analogs in different matrices such as cellular cultures, tissue or peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The determination of these compounds is challenging due to the large difference of concentrations between ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides, the presence of numerous endogenous interferences in complex matrices and the high polarity of the molecules due to the phosphate moiety. The extraction was generally performed at low temperature and was based on protein precipitation using acid or solvent mixture. This first phase could be coupled with extraction or cleaning step of the supernatant. Liquid chromatography coupled with UV detection and based on ion-exchange chromatography using non-volatile high salt concentrations was largely described for the quantification of nucleotides. However, the development of LC-MS and LC-MS/MS during the last ten years has constituted a sensitive and specific tool. In this case, analytical column was mostly constituted by graphite or C18 stationary phase. Mobile phase was usually based on a mixture of ammonium buffer and acetonitrile and in several assays included a volatile ion-pairing agent. Mass spectrometry detection was performed either with positive or negative electrospray mode according to compounds and mobile phase components. The purpose of the current review is to provide an overview of the most recent chromatographic assays (over the past ten years) developed for the determination of endogenous nucleotides and nucleotide analogs used in cancer therapy. We focused on sample preparation, chromatographic separation and quantitative considerations.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a new method for the simultaneous determination of eight endogenous ribonucleoside triphosphates and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates based on a combination of a selective sample preparation and an ion-pair liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. The sample preparation was based on a protein precipitation coupled with a solid phase extraction using a weak-anion-exchange cartridge. The analytical separation of the nucleotides was achieved on a porous graphitic carbon stationary phase with a binary elution gradient program employing ion-pairing reagents (diethylamine and hexylamine) and organic eluent (methanol). The triple quadrupole mass spectrometer operated in both negative and positive multiple reaction monitoring modes. The calibration assay used the stable isotope labelled analogs of each compounds as standard. Standard calibrations were from 0.25 to 10pmol injected according to deoxyribonucleotides and from 12.5 to 3000pmol injected according to ribonucleotides. The within-run precision of the assay was less than 14.5% and the between-run precision was less than 12.4% for each analytes. Assay accuracy was in the range of 92.3-107.6%. This method allows the determination of NTP and dNTP pools from lysats of several cell lines or peripheral blood mononuclear cell from patient. Assays were performed with different preparation of cells to confirm the quality and the relevance of the described method.
