A single extraction 96-well method for LC-MS/MS quantification of urinary eicosanoids, steroids and drugs. Prostaglandins Other Lipid Mediat 2024; 170:106789. [PMID: 37879396 DOI: 10.1016/j.prostaglandins.2023.106789] [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: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023]
Abstract
Urinary eicosanoid concentrations reflect inflammatory processes in multiple diseases and have been used as biomarkers of disease as well as suggested for patient stratification in precision medicine. However, implementation of urinary eicosanoid profiling in large-scale analyses is restricted due to sample preparation limits. Here we demonstrate a single solid-phase extraction of 300 µL urine in 96-well-format for prostaglandins, thromboxanes, isoprostanes, cysteinyl-leukotriene E4 and the linoleic acid-derived dihydroxy-octadecenoic acids (9,10- and 12,13-DiHOME). A simultaneous screening protocol was also developed for cortisol/cortisone and 7 exogenous steroids as well as 3 cyclooxygenase inhibitors. Satisfactory performance for quantification of eicosanoids with an appropriate internal standard was demonstrated for intra-plate analyses (CV = 8.5-15.1%) as well as for inter-plate (n = 35) from multiple studies (CV = 22.1-34.9%). Storage stability was evaluated at - 20 °C, and polar tetranors evidenced a 50% decrease after 5 months, while the remaining eicosanoids evidenced no significant degradation. All eicosanoids were stable over 3.5-years in urine stored at - 80 °C. This method will facilitate the implementation of urinary eicosanoid quantification in large-scale screening.

Prostanoid Metabolites as Biomarkers in Human Disease. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12080721. [PMID: 36005592 PMCID: PMC9414732 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12080721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Prostaglandins (PGD2, PGE2, PGF2α), prostacyclin (PGI2), and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) together form the prostanoid family of lipid mediators. As autacoids, these five primary prostanoids propagate intercellular signals and are involved in many physiological processes. Furthermore, alterations in their biosynthesis accompany a wide range of pathological conditions, which leads to substantially increased local levels during disease. Primary prostanoids are chemically instable and rapidly metabolized. Their metabolites are more stable, integrate the local production on a systemic level, and their analysis in various biological matrices yields valuable information under different pathological settings. Therefore, prostanoid metabolites may be used as diagnostic, predictive, or prognostic biomarkers in human disease. Although their potential as biomarkers is great and extensive research has identified major prostanoid metabolites that serve as target analytes in different biofluids, the number of studies that correlate prostanoid metabolite levels to disease outcome is still limited. We review the metabolism of primary prostanoids in humans, summarize the levels of prostanoid metabolites in healthy subjects, and highlight existing biomarker studies. Since analysis of prostanoid metabolites is challenging because of ongoing metabolism and limited half-lives, an emphasis of this review lies on the reliable measurement and interpretation of obtained levels.
