JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2018; 29:711-722. [PMID: 29417494 PMCID: PMC5889423 DOI: 10.1007/s13361-017-1886-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2017] [Revised: 12/24/2017] [Accepted: 12/24/2017] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Bile acids (BAs) play two vital roles in living organisms, as they are involved in (1) the secretion of cholesterol from liver, and (2) the lipid digestion/absorption in the intestine. Abnormal bile acid synthesis or secretion can lead to severe liver disorders. Even though there is extensive literature on the mass spectrometric determination of BAs in biofluids and tissue homogenates, there are no reports on the spatial distribution in the biliary network of the liver. Here, we demonstrate the application of high mass resolution/mass accuracy matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) to MS imaging (MSI) of BAs at high spatial resolutions (pixel size, 25 μm). The results show chemical heterogeneity of the mouse liver sections with a number of branching biliary and blood ducts. In addition to ion signals from deprotonation of the BA molecules, MALDI-MSI generated several further intense signals at larger m/z for the BAs. These signals were spatially co-localized with the deprotonated molecules and easily misinterpreted as additional products of BA biotransformations. In-depth analysis of accurate mass shifts and additional electrospray ionization and MALDI-FTICR experiments, however, confirmed them as proton-bound dimers. Interestingly, dimers of bile acids, but also unusual mixed dimers of different taurine-conjugated bile acids and free taurine, were identified. Since formation of these complexes will negatively influence signal intensities of the desired [M - H]- ions and significantly complicate mass spectral interpretations, two simple broadband techniques were proposed for non-selective dissociation of dimers that lead to increased signals for the deprotonated BAs.

Abstract
We examined the characteristics of several bile acids and some steroid conjugates under low-energy-collision-induced dissociation conditions using a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer. According to conjugation types, we observed characteristic product ions and/or neutral losses in the product ion spectra. Amino acid conjugates afforded specific product ions. For example, glycine-conjugated metabolites routinely produced a product ion at m/z 74, and taurine-conjugated metabolites produced product ions at m/z 124, 107, and 80. When a strong peak appeared at m/z 97, the molecule contained a sulfate group. In contrast to amino acid conjugates, carbohydrate conjugates required a combination of product ions and neutral losses for identification. We could discriminate a glucoside from an acyl galactoside according to the presence or absence of a product ion at m/z 161 and a neutral loss of 180 Da. Discrimination among esters, aliphatic ethers, and phenolic ether types of glucuronides was based upon differences in the intensities of a product ion at m/z 175 and a neutral loss of 176 Da. Furthermore, N-acetylglucosamine conjugates showed a characteristic product ion at m/z 202 and a neutral loss of 203 Da, and the appearance of a product ion at m/z 202 revealed the existence of N-acetylglucosamine conjugated to an aliphatic hydroxyl group without a double bond in the immediate vicinity. Together, the data presented here will help to enable the identification of unknown conjugated cholesterol metabolites by using low-energy collision-induced dissociation.

Abstract
The formation of bile acids/bile alcohols is of major importance for the maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis. Besides their functions in lipid absorption, bile acids/bile alcohols are regulatory molecules for a number of metabolic processes. Their effects are structure-dependent, and numerous metabolic conversions result in a complex mixture of biologically active and inactive forms. Advanced methods are required to characterize and quantify individual bile acids in these mixtures. A combination of such analyses with analyses of the proteome will be required for a better understanding of mechanisms of action and nature of endogenous ligands. Mass spectrometry is the basic detection technique for effluents from chromatographic columns. Capillary liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization provides the highest sensitivity in metabolome analysis. Classical gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is less sensitive but offers extensive structure-dependent fragmentation increasing the specificity in analyses of isobaric isomers of unconjugated bile acids. Depending on the nature of the bile acid/bile alcohol mixture and the range of concentration of individuals, different sample preparation sequences, from simple extractions to group separations and derivatizations, are applicable. We review the methods currently available for the analysis of bile acids in biological fluids and tissues, with emphasis on the combination of liquid and gas phase chromatography with mass spectrometry.

Abstract
In Niemann-Pick disease, type C1, increased amounts of 3beta,7beta-dihydroxy-5-cholenoic acid are reported to be present in urinary bile acids. The compound occurs as a tri-conjugate, sulfated at C-3, N-acetylglucosamidated at C-7, and N-acylamidated with taurine or glycine at C-24. For sensitive LC-MS/MS analysis of this bile acid, a suitable internal standard is needed. We report here the synthesis of a satisfactory internal standard, 3beta-sulfooxy-7beta-hydroxy-24-nor-5-cholenoic acid (as the disodium salt). The key reactions involved were (1) the so-called "second order" Beckmann rearrangement (one-carbon degradation at C-24) of hyodeoxycholic acid (HDCA) 3,6-diformate with sodium nitrite in a mixture of trifluoroacetic anhydride and trifluoroacetic acid, (2) simultaneous inversion at C-3 and elimination at C-6 of the ditosylate derivatives of the resulting 3alpha,6alpha-dihydroxy-24-nor-5beta-cholanoic acid with potassium acetate in aqueous N,N-dimethylformamide, and (3) regioselective sulfation at C-3 of an intermediary 3beta,7beta-dihydroxy-24-nor-Delta(5) derivative using sulfur trioxide-trimethylamine complex. Overall yield of the desired compound was 1.8% in 12 steps from HDCA.

Abstract
Acyl-adenylates and acyl-CoA thioesters of bile acids (BAs) are reactive acyl-linked metabolites that have been shown to undergo transacylation-type reactions with the thiol group of glutathione (GSH), leading to the formation of thioester-linked GSH conjugates. In the current study, we examined the transformation of cholyl-adenylate (CA-AMP) and cholyl-coenzyme A thioester (CA-CoA) into a cholyl-S-acyl GSH (CA-GSH) conjugate by rat hepatic glutathione S-transferase (GST). The reaction product was analyzed by liquid chromatography (LC)/electrospray ionization (ESI)-linear ion trap mass spectrometry (MS). The GST-catalyzed formation of CA-GSH occurred with both CA-AMP and CA-CoA. Ursodeoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid, and 2,2,4,4-(2)H4-labeled lithocholic acid were administered orally to biliary fistula rats, and their corresponding GSH conjugates were identified in bile by LC/ESI-MS2. These in vitro and in vivo studies confirm a new mode of BA conjugation in which BAs are transformed into their GSH conjugates via their acyl-linked intermediary metabolites by the catalytic action of GST in the liver, and the GSH conjugates are then excreted into the bile.

Abstract
The formation of thioester-linked glutathione (GSH) conjugates of bile acids (BAs) is presumed to occur via trans-acylation reactions between GSH and reactive acyl-linked metabolites of BAs. The present study examines the chemical reactivity of cholyl-adenylate and cholyl-CoA thioester, acyl-linked metabolites of cholic acid (CA), with GSH to form CA-GSH conjugate in vitro. The authentic specimen of CA-GSH was synthesized along with GSH conjugates of four common BAs found in the human body. Their structures were confirmed by proton-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and electrospray ionization (ESI)-tandem mass spectrometry in positive- and negative-ion modes. Incubation of cholyl-adenylate or cholyl-CoA thioester with GSH was carried out at pH 7.5 and 37 degrees C for 30 min, with analysis of the reaction mixture by liquid chromatography/ESI-tandem mass spectrometry, where CA-GSH was detected on the product ion mass chromatograms monitored with stable and abundant dehydrated positive-ion [M+HH(2)O](+) at m/z 680.3 and fragmented negative-ion [GSHH](-) at m/z 306.0, and was definitely identified by CID spectra by comparison with those of the authentic sample. The results show that both cholyl-adenylate and cholyl-CoA thioester are able to acylate GSH in vitro.

Abstract
We developed a highly sensitive and quantitative method to detect bile acid 3-sulfates in human urine employing liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. This method allows simultaneous analysis of bile acid 3-sulfates, including nonamidated, glycine-, and taurine-conjugated bile acids, cholic acid (CA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), deoxycholic acid (DCA), ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), and lithocholic acid (LCA), using selected reaction monitoring (SRM) analysis. The method was applied to analyze bile acid 3-sulfates in human urine from healthy volunteers. The results indicated an unknown compound with the nonamidated common bile acid 3-sulfates on the chromatogram obtained by the selected reaction monitoring analysis. By comparison of the retention behavior and MS/MS spectrum of the unknown peak with the authentic specimen, the unknown compound was identified as 3beta,12alpha-dihydroxy-5beta-cholanoic acid 3-sulfate.

Abstract
A subset of lipophillic bile acids, including deoxycholic acid (DCA) and lithocholic acid (LCA), are thought to be biologically transformed into reactive intermediates forming covalently modified, "tissue-bound" bile acids that can exert several toxic effects. We have generated a single-chain Fv fragment (scFv) as a probe to monitor DCA residues anchored on proteins. DNA fragments encoding the variable heavy (V(H)) and light (V(L)) domains of a mouse antibody raised against a DCA hapten (Ab #88) were cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA 5'-ends. These sequences were combined via a common linker sequence coding (Gly(4)Ser)(3) to construct a single scFv gene with the gene segments in the following order: 5'-V(H)-linker-V(L)-3'. This construct was subcloned into an antibody-expression vector, pEXmide 5; soluble scFv protein was then expressed in the bacterial periplasm of the XLOLR Escherichia coli strain. In a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using DCA-coated microtiter plates, the scFv provided a dose-response curve for free DCA ranging between 2 and 5000 pg/assay. The scFv reacts similarly with the l-lysine adduct of DCA (cross-reactivity, 72%), while bile acids having a modified DCA steroid skeleton were well-discriminated (cross-reactivity, <1%). This scFv could also monitor trace amounts of DCA residues anchored on a protein through DCA acyl adenylate reactions, the likely reactive intermediate. The present scFv may be a useful tool for trace characterization of tissue-bound bile acids; this usefulness may be significantly enhanced by fusion with signal-generating proteins, such as alkaline phosphatase or green fluorescent protein.

Abstract
We report a novel conjugate, bile acid acyl galactosides, which exist in the urine of healthy volunteers. To identify the two unknown peaks obtained in urine specimens from healthy subjects, the specimens were subjected to solid phase extraction and then to liquid chromatographic separation. The eluate corresponding to the unknown peaks on the chromatogram was collected. Following alkaline hydrolysis and liquid chromatography (LC)/electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometric (MS) analysis, cholic acid (CA) and deoxycholic acid (DCA) were identified as liberated bile acids. When a portion of the alkaline hydrolyzate was subjected to a derivatization reaction with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone, a derivative of galactose was detected by LC/ESI-MS. Finally, the liquid chromatographic and mass spectrometric properties of these unknown compounds in urine specimens were compared to those of authentic specimens and the structures were confirmed as CA 24-galactoside and DCA 24-galactoside. These results strongly imply that bile acid 24-galactosides, a novel conjugate, were synthesized in the human body.

Abstract
Acyl glucuronides, which are biosynthesized by the action of glucuronosyltransferases to material for detoxification, are water-soluble and chemically active; they produce irreversible protein adducts via both the transacylation mechanism and the imine mechanism. The acyl group at the C-1 position migrates from the anomeric carbon to the C-2 position of the glucuronic acid moiety, producing the aldehyde group at the C-1 position, where the protein easily condenses through a Schiff's base, in the open-chain aldose form. The elimination of the hydroxyl group at the C-2 position therefore may prevent a protein-bound adduct via the imine mechanism. In this paper, we describe the synthesis and characterization of an acyl 2-deoxyglucuronide of deoxycholic acid as a model compound to investigate its possible utility as a water-soluble affinity labeling reagent for lipophilic carboxylic acids. The solubility of deoxycholyl 2-deoxyglucuronide in an aqueous solution was sufficient under physiological conditions, and the desired material reacted with model peptides to produce covalently bound adducts only via the transacylation mechanism.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that bile acid acyl glucuronides form covalently bound protein adducts which may cause hypersensitivity reactions and increased morbidity in patients. Although the preferential biosynthesis of the acyl glucuronides has been known, the characterization of hepatic bile acid acyl glucuronosyltransferase has not yet been clearly elucidated. We have investigated the substrate specificity of the hepatic bile acid acyl glucuronosyltransferase using five common bile acids as substrates. The glucuronidation rate was dependent on the number of the hydroxy group on the steroid nucleus and mono-hydroxylated lithocholic acid, the more lipophilic common bile acid, was most effectively metabolized into its acyl glucuronide. The tri-hydroxylated cholic acid, the more water-soluble common bile acid, barely transformed into its glucuronide. Results showed decreasing of the initial velocity of the acyl glucuronidation with increasing of the concentration of substrate, lithocholic acid, owing to the substrate inhibition of the hepatic bile acid acyl glucuronosyltransferase. The substrate analogues, glycine and taurine conjugated bile acids, which exist in the body fluids in high concentrations, also inhibited the enzyme's activity. In addition, enzymatic reaction products, bile acid acyl glucuronides, also inhibited the activity. These inhibitory mechanisms may be responsible for the low concentration of bile acid acyl glucuronides in urine and may be an important detoxification system in the body.

Abstract
A facile and efficient synthesis of the carboxyl-linked glucosides of bile acids is described. Direct esterification of unprotected bile acids with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose in pyridine in the presence of 2-chloro-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene as a coupling agent afforded a mixture of the alpha- and beta-anomers (ca. 1:3) of the 1-O-acyl-D-glucoside benzyl ethers of bile acids, which was separated effectively on a C18 reversed-phase chromatography column (isolated yields of alpha- and beta-anomers are 4-9% and 12-19%, respectively). Subsequent hydrogenolysis of the alpha- and beta-acyl glucoside benzyl ethers on a 10% Pd-C catalyst in acetic acid/methanol/EtOAc (1:2:2, by vol) at 35 degrees C under atmospheric pressure gave the corresponding free esters in good yields (79-89%). Chemical specificities such as facile hydrolysis and transesterification of the acyl glucosides in various solvents were also discussed.

Abstract
This review article underlines the importance of gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and their hyphenated techniques using mass spectrometry (MS) for the determination of natural steroids, especially in human biological fluids. Steroids are divided into eight categories based on their structures and functions, and recent references using the above methodologies for the analysis of these steroids are cited. GC and GC-MS are commonly used for the determination of volatile steroids. Although HPLC is a widely used analytical method for the determination of steroids including the conjugated type in biological fluids, LC-MS is considered to be the most promising one for this purpose because of its sensitivity, specificity and versatility.

Abstract
A method for the determination of the activity of hepatic glucuronyltransferase catalyzing formation of bile acid 24-glucuronides using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) has been developed. Bile acid 24-glucuronides were simultaneously separated on a semimicrobore column, Capcell Pak C18UG120, using 20 mM ammonium phosphate (pH 6.0)-acetonitrile (27:10 and 16:10) as the mobile phase in the stepwise gradient elution mode. A 1 M potassium hydroxide solution for the hydrolysis of the 24-glucuronides, which liberates the corresponding bile acids and glucuronic acid, was mixed with the mobile phase in a post-column mode, and the resulting eluant was heated at 90 degrees C, the 24-glucuronides being monitored using a pulsed amperometric detector; the limit of detection was 10 ng. The proposed method was applied to the determination of the hepatic enzyme activity catalyzing bile acid 24-glucuronide formation and the result exhibited the efficient 24-glucuronide formation of the monohydroxylated bile acid, lithocholic acid.

Abstract
The synthesis of acyl glucuronides of common bile acids is described. By means of the Mitsunobu reaction employing diethylazodicarboxylate and triphenylphosphine, bile acids were condensed through the inherent C-24 carboxy group with benzyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranuronate, which was prepared from 1-O-methyl-alpha-D-glucose. The separation and purification of the beta-anomers at the anomeric position of the sugar moiety were attained by preparative thin-layer chromatography and/or high-performance liquid chromatography on a column packed with phenyl-bonded silica using H2O-MeOH as a mobile phase. The removal of the benzyl group on the sugar moiety was achieved by catalytic hydrogenation with 10% palladium on carbon to yield the desired acyl glucuronides of bile acids. The structures of these acyl glucuronides were confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectral properties.
