Honour JW. The interpretation of immunometric, chromatographic and mass spectrometric data for steroids in diagnosis of endocrine disorders. Steroids 2024; 211:109502. [PMID: 39214232 DOI: 10.1016/j.steroids.2024.109502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2024] [Revised: 08/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
The analysis of steroids for endocrine disorders is in transition from immunoassay of individual steroids to more specific chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods with simultaneous determination of several steroids. Gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) offer unrivalled analytical capability for steroid analysis. These specialist techniques were often judged to be valuable only in a research laboratory but this is no longer the case. In a urinary steroid profile up to 30 steroids are identified with concentrations and excretion rates reported in a number of ways. The assays must accommodate the wide range in steroid concentrations in biological fluids from micromolar for dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS) to picomolar for oestradiol and aldosterone. For plasma concentrations, panels of 5-20 steroids are reported. The profile results are complex and interpretation is a real challenge in order to inform clinicians of likely implications. Although artificial intelligence and machine learning will in time generate reports from the analysis this is a way off being adopted into clinical practice. This review offers guidance on current interpretation of the data from steroid determinations in clinical practice. Using this approach more laboratories can use the techniques to answer clinical questions and offer broader interpretation of the results so that the clinician can understand the conclusion for the steroid defect, and can be advised to program further tests if necessary and instigate treatment. The biochemistry is part of the patient workup and a clinician led multidisciplinary team discussion of the results will be required for challenging patients. The laboratory will have to consider cost implications, bearing in mind that staff costs are the highest component. GC-MS and LC-MS/MS analysis of steroids are the choices. Steroid profiling has enormous potential to improve diagnosis of adrenal disorders and should be adopted in more laboratories in favour of the cheap, non-specific immunological methods.

Conversion of 5α-Androstane-3α,17β-diol to bis[(4-dimethylamino)phenyl carbamate] derivative for sensitive determination of its rat brain level by LC/ESI-MS/MS. RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2024; 38:e9875. [PMID: 39049483 DOI: 10.1002/rcm.9875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
RATIONALE 5α-Androstane-3α,17β-diol (3α,5α-Adiol) is a testosterone-derived neurosteroid and has anxiolytic and analgesic effects via γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors as with the progesterone-derived neurosteroid, allopregnanolone (AP). Although the psychotropic drug-evoked changes in the brain AP concentration have been intensively studied, those in the brain 3α,5α-Adiol concentration remain poorly understood. One of the causes for this is the limited availability of a validated method for quantifying the brain 3α,5α-Adiol with a sufficient sensitivity and specificity, which is described in this study. METHODS To enhance the detectability of 3α,5α-Adiol by electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS), derivatization with 4-dimethylaminobenzoyl azide was employed. The brain sample was purified by solid-phase extraction and the recovered 3α,5α-Adiol and the deuterated internal standard were derivatized, then measured by liquid chromatography (LC)/ESI-MS/MS with selected reaction monitoring. RESULTS The derivatized 3α,5α-Adiol, i.e., the bis[(4-dimethylamino)phenyl carbamate] derivative, provided the intense doubly-protonated molecule as the precursor ion, then the specific product ion containing the 3α,5α-Adiol-skeleton by collision-induced dissociation. The detectability of 3α,5α-Adiol was eventually increased 1000-fold by derivatization. Separation of the derivatized 3α,5α-Adiol from its stereoisomers and interfering brain components was achieved using a SunShell Biphenyl column with an isopropyl alcohol-containing mobile phase. A good linearity in the sufficient concentration range, acceptable precision and accuracy, and negligible matrix effect were demonstrated by the validation tests. The animal (rat) study using this method revealed that the brain 3α,5α-Adiol levels were unaffected by the administration of fluoxetine (FLX) and clozapine (CLZ), in contrast to the significant increase of the AP levels. CONCLUSION An LC/ESI-MS/MS method capable of quantifying 3α,5α-Adiol in the rat brain using a 20-mg tissue was developed and validated. The brain levels of 3α,5α-Adiol had an entirely different behavior from those of AP due to FLX and CLZ administration.

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2024; 38:e9719.

Abstract
RATIONALE As 3-OH-containing steroids are prone to dehydration by conventional electrospray ionization, reducing detection sensitivity, Li ion adduction-based ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS/MS), developed to prevent dehydration and effectively detect 3-OH steroids, was applied for profiling total and free steroids in urine. METHODS Free urinary steroids were isolated directly from urine by solid-phase extraction (SPE) with 80% acetonitrile. The total steroids were prepared by enzymatic treatment of urine with a cocktail of sulfatase and glucronidase, protein precipitation, and separation with the above SPE. In order to detect as many steroid types as possible, UHPLC/MS/MS (Li method) with Li+ solution added after the column was used for analysis in addition to the conventional method of detecting protonated ions (H method). The 13 3-OH steroids and the remaining 16 steroids were quantified by standard curves prepared using product ion transitions derived from [M + Li]+ and MH+ , respectively. RESULTS Two groups of human urine, male and female urine, were analyzed. 3-OH steroids could be detected with greater sensitivity using the Li method than the conventional method. The absolute amounts of each steroid were normalized based on creatinine levels. The difference between the male and female groups are clearly attributable to sex steroids. CONCLUSIONS Twenty-nine total steroids and 19 free steroids were identified in a limited volume (240 mL) of urine. Of these, 13 3-OH steroids were better detected by Li+ adduction-based UHPLC/MS/MS.

Abstract
Residues of endocrine disrupting steroid hormones in food might cause various diseases like cardiovascular diseases and breast and prostate cancers. Monitoring steroid hormone levels plays a vital role in ensuring food safety and exploring the pathogenic mechanism of steroid hormone-related diseases. Based on the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction, a novel chemoselective probe, Azo-N3, which contains a reactive site N3, an imidazolium salt-based MS tag, and an azobenzene-based photoswitchable handle, was designed and synthesized to label ethynyl-bearing steroid hormones. The probe Azo-N3 was applied for the highly selective and sensitive detection of four ethynyl-bearing steroid hormones in food samples (milk, egg, and pork) by using ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The ionization efficiency of the labeled analytes could be increased by 6-105-fold, and such a labeled method exhibited satisfactory detection limits (0.04-0.2 μg/L), recovery (80.6-122.4%), and precision (RSDs% lower than 6.9%). Interestingly, the efficient immobilization of the probe Azo-N3 onto α-cyclodextrin (α-CD)-modified magnetic particles to construct a solid supported chemoselective probe Fe3O4-CD-Azo-N3 and UV light-controlled release of the labeled analytes from a magnetic support can be achieved by taking advantage of the photoswitched host-guest inclusion between the azobenzene unit and α-CD. The potential applications of Fe3O4-CD-Azo-N3 for labeling, capturing, and the photocontrolled release of the labeled steroid hormones were fully investigated by mass spectrometry imaging analysis. This work not only provides a sensitive and accurate method to detect steroid hormones in food but also opens a new avenue in designing solid supported chemoselective probes.

Abstract
Lipids, as one of the most important organic compounds in organisms, are important components of cells and participate in energy storage and signal transduction of living organisms. As a rapidly rising field, lipidomics research involves the identification and quantification of multiple classes of lipid molecules, as well as the structure, function, dynamics, and interactions of lipids in living organisms. Due to its inherent high selectivity and high sensitivity, mass spectrometry (MS) is the "gold standard" analysis technique for small molecules in biological samples. The combination chemical derivatization with MS detection is a unique strategy that could improve MS ionization efficiency, facilitate structure identification and quantitative analysis. Herein, this review discusses derivatization-based MS strategies for lipidomic analysis over the past decade and focuses on all the reported lipid categories, including fatty acids and modified fatty acids, glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sterols and saccharolipids. The functional groups of lipids mainly involved in chemical derivatization include the C=C group, carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, amino group, carbonyl group. Furthermore, representative applications of these derivatization-based lipid profiling methods were summarized. Finally, challenges and countermeasures of lipid derivatization are mentioned and highlighted to guide future studies of derivatization-based MS strategy in lipidomics.

Differential carbohydrate-active enzymes and secondary metabolite production by the grapevine trunk pathogen Neofusicoccum parvum Bt-67 grown on host and non-host biomass. Mycologia 2023; 115:579-601. [PMID: 37358885 DOI: 10.1080/00275514.2023.2216122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/27/2023]
Abstract
Neofusicoccum parvum is one of the most aggressive Botryosphaeriaceae species associated with grapevine trunk diseases. This species may secrete enzymes capable of overcoming the plant barriers, leading to wood colonization. In addition to their roles in pathogenicity, there is an interest in taking advantage of N. parvum carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), related to plant cell wall degradation, for lignocellulose biorefining. Furthermore, N. parvum produces toxic secondary metabolites that may contribute to its virulence. In order to increase knowledge on the mechanisms underlying pathogenicity and virulence, as well as the exploration of its metabolism and CAZymes for lignocellulose biorefining, we evaluated the N. parvum strain Bt-67 capacity in producing lignocellulolytic enzymes and secondary metabolites when grown in vitro with two lignocellulosic biomasses: grapevine canes (GP) and wheat straw (WS). For this purpose, a multiphasic study combining enzymology, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses was performed. Enzyme assays showed higher xylanase, xylosidase, arabinofuranosidase, and glucosidase activities when the fungus was grown with WS. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the lignocellulosic biomass degradation caused by the secreted enzymes. Transcriptomics indicated that the N. parvum Bt-67 gene expression profiles in the presence of both biomasses were similar. In total, 134 genes coding CAZymes were up-regulated, where 94 of them were expressed in both biomass growth conditions. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), glucosidases, and endoglucanases were the most represented CAZymes and correlated with the enzymatic activities obtained. The secondary metabolite production, analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet/visible spectophotometry-mass spectrometry (HPLC-UV/Vis-MS), was variable depending on the carbon source. The diversity of differentially produced metabolites was higher when N. parvum Bt-67 was grown with GP. Overall, these results provide insight into the influence of lignocellulosic biomass on virulence factor expressions. Moreover, this study opens the possibility of optimizing the enzyme production from N. parvum with potential use for lignocellulose biorefining.

Abstract
Fatty acids (FAs) and fatty alcohols (FOHs) are essential compounds for maintaining life. Due to the inherent poor ionization efficiency, low abundance, and complex matrix effect, such metabolites are challenging to precisely quantify and explore deeply. In this study, a pair of novel isotope derivatization reagents known as d0/d5-1-(2-oxo-2-(piperazin-1-yl) ethyl) pyridine-1-ium (d0/d5-OPEPI) were designed and synthesized, and an in-depth screening strategy for FAs and FOHs was established based on d0/d5-OPEPI coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS). Using this approach, a total of 332 metabolites were identified and annotated (some of the FAs and FOHs were reconfirmed by standards). Our results demonstrated that OPEPI labeling could significantly enhance the MS response of FAs and FOHs via the introduction of permanently charged tags. The detection sensitivities of FAs were increased by 200-2345-fold compared with the nonderivatization method. At the same time, for FOHs, due to the absence of ionizable functional groups, sensitive detection was achieved utilizing OPEPI derivatization. One-to-one internal standards were provided by using d5-OPEPI labeling to minimize the errors in quantitation. Moreover, the method validation results showed that the method was stable and reliable. Finally, the established method was successfully applied to the study of the FA and FOH profiles of two heterogeneous severe clinical disease tissues. This study would improve our understanding of the pathological and metabolic mechanisms of FAs and FOHs for inflammatory myopathies and pancreatic cancer and also prove the generality and accuracy of the developed analytical method for complex samples.

Abstract
The copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction has becoming noticeable in the field of analytical chemistry. Mild reaction conditions, simple operation, high efficiency, and good regioselectivity make this classical click reaction a perfect strategy for chemical derivatization. Herein, we proposed a promising click fluorescent labeling method with high selectivity for the determination of five steroid hormones in food samples. The labeling strategy depends on the reaction between 3-Azido-7-hydroxycoumarin and the alkynyl group of steroid hormones, which shows a turn-on fluorescence response in the presence of copper (I). The formed fluorescent products were detected by HPLC-FLD. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed method presented excellent performance with good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9998) and low detection limit (1.8-7.3 μg L-1). Further, satisfactory recoveries were obtained to be 82-107% in spiked meats with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ≤ 5.7%. Finally, the established method was successfully applied for the determination of steroid hormones in meat, indicating the potential prospect of the click reaction in chemical derivatization.

Abstract
Steroid hormones (SHs) have been widely used over the past few decades as both human and veterinary drugs to prevent or treat infectious diseases and anti-inflammatory benefits in clinical. Unfortunately, their residues in foodstuffs and environmental samples can produce adverse effects on human and animal life such as disrupting the endocrine system. For these reasons, sensitive, simple and efficient methods have been developed for the determination of these compounds in various matrices. This critical review summarized the articles published in the period from 2012 to 2019 and can be used to help researchers to understand development of the sample pretreatment protocols and analytical methods used to detect SHs. The developed extraction and purification techniques used for steroids in different samples, such as cloud point extraction, solid phase extraction based on different novel materials, microextraction methods, QuEChERS and other methods are summarized and discussed. Analytical methods used to quantify these compounds, such as different chromatography methods, electrochemical methods, as well as other methods, are illustrated and compared. We focused on the latest advances in SHs pretreatment, and the application of new technologies in SHs analysis.

Abstract
Given detrimental impacts induced by estrogens at trace level, determination of them is significant but challenging due to their low content in environmental samples and inherent weak ionisation. A modified derivatisation-based methodology was applied for the first time to detect estrogen in free and conjugated forms including some isomers simultaneously using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MSn). Derivatisation reaction with previously used 1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-5-sulphonyl chloride allowed significant increase of mass spectrometric signal of analytes and also provided distinctive fragmentation for their confirmation even in complicated matrix. Then satisfactory recovery (>75%) for the majority of analytes was achieved following optimisation of solid phase extraction (SPE) factors. The linearity was validated over a wide concentration with the correlation coefficient around 0.995. The repeatability of this methodology was also confirmed via the intra-day and inter-day precision and was less than 11.73%. Validation of method quantification limits (MQLs) for all chosen estrogens was conducted using 1000 mL surface water, ranging from 7.0 to 132.3 pg L-1. The established methodology was applied to profile presence of targeted estrogens in natural surface water samples. Out of the ten compounds of interest, three free estrogens (E1, E2, E3) and two sulphate estrogens (E1-3S and E2-3S) were found over their MQLs, being in the range of 0.05-0.32 ng L-1.

Abstract
The inclusion of preliminary chemical labeling (derivatization) in the analysis process by such powerful and widespread methods as electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) is a popular and widely used methodological approach. This is due to the need to remove some fundamental limitations inherent in these powerful analytic methods. Although a number of special reviews has been published discussing the utilization of derivatization approaches, the purpose of the present critical review is to comprehensively summarize, characterize and evaluate most of the previously developed and practically applied, as well as recently proposed representative derivatization reagents for ESI-MS and MALDI-MS platforms in their mostly sensitive positive ion mode and frequently hyphenated with separation techniques. The review is focused on the use of preliminary chemical labeling to facilitate the detection, identification, structure elucidation, quantification, profiling or MS imaging of compounds within complex matrices. Two main derivatization approaches, namely the introduction of permanent charge-fixed or highly proton affinitive residues into analytes are critically evaluated. In situ charge-generation, charge-switch and charge-transfer derivatizations are considered separately. The potential of using reactive matrices in MALDI-MS and chemical labeling in MS-based omics sciences is given.

Abstract
Due to the great diversity of chemical and physical properties of metabolites as well as a wide range of concentrations of metabolites present in metabolomic samples, performing comprehensive and quantitative metabolome analysis is a major analytical challenge. Conventional approach of combining various techniques and methods with each detecting a fraction of the metabolome can lead to the increase in overall metabolomic coverage. However, this approach requires extensive investment in equipment and analytical expertise with still relatively low coverage and low sample throughput. Chemical isotope labeling (CIL) liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) offers an alternative means of increasing metabolomic coverage while maintaining high quantification precision and accuracy. This chapter describes the CIL LC-MS method and its key features for metabolomic analysis.

High tolerance to instrument drifts by differential chemical isotope labeling LC-MS: A case study of the effect of LC leak in long-term sample runs on quantitative metabolome analysis. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2020; 56:e4589. [PMID: 32639693 DOI: 10.1002/jms.4589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2020] [Revised: 06/05/2020] [Accepted: 06/08/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Metabolomics study of a biological system often involves the analysis of many comparative samples over a period of several days or weeks. This process of long-term sample runs can encounter unexpected instrument drifts such as small leaks in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), degradation of column performance, and MS signal intensity change. A robust analytical method should ideally tolerate these instrumental drifts as much as possible. In this work, we report a case study to demonstrate the high tolerance of differential chemical isotope labeling (CIL) LC-MS method for quantitative metabolome analysis. In a study of using a rat model to examine the metabolome changes during rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease development and treatment, over 468 samples were analyzed over a period of 15 days in three batches. During the sample runs, a small leak in LC was discovered after a batch of analyses was completed. Reanalysis of these samples was not an option as sample amounts were limited. To overcome the problem caused by the small leak, we applied a method of retention time correction to the LC-MS data to align peak pairs from different runs with different degrees of leak, followed by peak ratio calculation and analysis. Herein, we illustrate that using 12 C-/13 C-peak pair intensity values in CIL LC-MS as a measurement of concentration changes in different samples could tolerate the signal drifts, while using the absolute intensity values (ie, 12 C-peak as in conventional LC-MS) was not as reliable. We hope that the case study illustrated and the method of overcoming the small-leak-caused signal drifts can be helpful to others who may encounter this kind of situation in long-term sample runs.

UPLC-MS/MS determination of steroid hormones via a novel reaction based on derivatisation by a cyclic-organophosphate. Talanta 2019; 204:415-423.

Abstract
A cyclic-organophosphate, specifically 2-chloro-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane-2-oxide, was used to derivatise the hydroxyl group at the C3 position of selected steroid hormones to analyse the derivatives using UPLC-MS/MS (ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry). Reactions were performed in an anhydrous pyridine environment in the presence of AlCl3 at 50 °C. The developed reaction is suitable for analytical chemistry applications and was validated by analysis of selected contraceptive drugs. The sensitivity of the method depends on hormone tested and the limit of detection ranges from 130 pg/mL for β-estradiol to 240 pg/mL for estriol. The estimated efficiency of derivatisation reactions varies in the range from 77.5 to 95.7%, and depends upon the hormone undergoing derivatisation. The method's recovery rate for the lowest concentration tested (800 pg/mL) is 88.1-96.3%. The method exhibits linearity in the 390 pg/mL to 2.5 μg/mL range, with R2 = 0.997. The developed steroid hormone derivatisation reaction was validated experimentally using UHPLC-QTOF-MS (ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry) and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy. These studies show that the developed derivatisation reaction provides a precise and repeatable determination of selected steroid hormones in contraceptive drugs. At n = 10, CV (Coefficient of Variation) did not exceed 7%, which is a very good result compared with other analytical methods.

Abstract
Steroidomics, an analytical technique for steroid biomarker mining, has received much attention in recent years. This systematic review and functional analysis, following the PRISMA statement, aims to provide a comprehensive review and an appraisal of the developments and fundamental issues in steroid high-throughput analysis, with a focus on cancer research. We also discuss potential pitfalls and proposed recommendations for steroidomics-based clinical research. Forty-five studies met our inclusion criteria, with a focus on 12 types of cancer. Most studies focused on cancer risk prediction, followed by diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy monitoring. Prostate cancer was the most frequently studied cancer. Estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone, and cortisol were mostly reported and altered in at least four types of cancer. Estrogen and estrogen metabolites were highly reported to associate with women-related cancers. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that steroidogenesis; androgen and estrogen metabolism; and androstenedione metabolism were significantly altered in cancers. Our findings indicated that estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone, cortisol, and estrogen metabolites, among others, could be considered oncosteroids. Despite noble achievements, significant shortcomings among the investigated studies were small sample sizes, cross-sectional designs, potential confounding factors, and problematic statistical approaches. More efforts are required to establish standardized procedures regarding study design, analytical procedures, and statistical inference.

Abstract
Chemical isotope labeling (CIL) LC-MS is a highly sensitive and quantitative method for metabolome analysis. Because of a large number of peaks detectable in a sample and the need of running many samples in a metabolomics project, any significant change in mass measurement accuracy during the whole period of running samples can adversely affect the downstream peak alignment and quantitative analysis. Herein, we report a rapid method to check the mass accuracy of individual spectra in each CIL LC-MS run in order to flag up any run containing spectra with accuracy drift that falls outside the expected error. The flagged run may be re-run or discarded before merging with other runs for peak alignment and analysis. This method is based on the observation that some background signals are commonly detected in almost all spectra collected in CIL LC-MS runs. A mass accuracy check (MAC) software program has been developed to first find the common background mass peaks and then use them as mass references to calculate any mass shifts over the course of multiple sample runs. Using a metabolome dataset of 324 human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples and 35 quality control (QC) samples produced by CIL LC-MS, we show that this accuracy check method can streamline the initial raw data processing for downstream analysis in metabolomics.

Abstract
The metabolites of cortisol, and the intermediates in the pathways from cholesterol to cortisol and the adrenal sex steroids can be analysed in a single separation of steroids by gas chromatography (GC) coupled to MS to give a urinary steroid profile (USP). Steroids individually and in profile are now commonly measured in plasma by liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with MS/MS. The steroid conjugates in urine can be determined after hydrolysis and derivative formation and for the first time without hydrolysis using GC-MS, GC-MS/MS and liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The evolution of the technology, practicalities and clinical applications are examined in this review. The patterns and quantities of steroids changes through childhood. Information can be obtained on production rates, from which children with steroid excess and deficiency states can be recognised when presenting with obesity, adrenarche, adrenal suppression, hypertension, adrenal tumours, intersex condition and early puberty, as examples. Genetic defects in steroid production and action can be detected by abnormalities from the GC-MS of steroids in urine. New mechanisms of steroid synthesis and metabolism have been recognised through steroid profiling. GC with tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) has been used for the tentative identification of unknown steroids in urine from newborn infants with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Suggestions are made as to areas for future research and for future applications of steroid profiling. As routine hospital laboratories become more familiar with the problems of chromatographic and MS analysis they can consider steroid profiling in their test repertoire although with LC-MS/MS of urinary steroids this is unlikely to become a routine test because of the availability, cost and purity of the internal standards and the complexity of data interpretation. Steroid profiling with quantitative analysis by mass spectrometry (MS) after chromatography now provides the most versatile of tests of adrenal function in childhood.

Abstract
The measurement of estrogens is important for diagnosing and monitoring the health of women, men, and children. For example, for postmenopausal women or women undergoing treatment for breast cancer with aromatase inhibitors, the measurement of extremely low concentrations of estrogens in serum, especially estradiol, is problematic but essential for proper medical care. Achieving superb analytical sensitivity and specificity has been and continues to be a challenge for the clinical laboratory, but is a challenge that is being taken seriously. Focusing on publications from 2012 to 2017, this review will provide an overview of recent research in the development of methods to accurately and precisely measure estrogens, including a variety of estrogen metabolites. Additionally, the latest in clinical research involving estrogen measurement in women, men, and children will be presented to provide an update on the association of estrogens with diseases or conditions such as breast cancer, precocious puberty, infertility, and pregnancy. This research update will provide context as to why estrogen measurement is important and why laboratories are working hard to support the recommendations made by the Endocrine Society regarding estrogen measurement.

Abstract
Functional metabolomics is a new concept, which studies the functions of metabolites and related enzymes focused on metabolomics. It overcomes the shortcomings of traditional discovery metabolomics of mainly relying on literatures for biological interpretation. Functional metabolomics has many advantages. Firstly, the functional roles of metabolites and related metabolic enzymes are focused. Secondly, the in vivo and in vitro experiments are conducted to validate the metabolomics findings, therefore, increasing the reliability of metabolomics study and producing the new knowledge. Thirdly, functional metabolomics can be used by biologists to investigate functions of metabolites, and related genes and proteins. In this review, we summarize the analytical, biological and clinical platforms used in functional metabolomics studies. Recent progresses of functional metabolomics in cancer, metabolic diseases and biological phenotyping are reviewed, and future development is also predicted. Because of the tremendous advantages of functional metabolomics, it will have a bright future.

Abstract
Steroid hormones are crucial substances that mediate a wide range of vital physiological functions. Because of the important biological significance of steroids, this paper presents a new targeted metabolic method based on adding stable isotope tags to hydroxyl containing and carbonyl containing steroid hormones with two pairs of synthesized derivatization reagents: deuterium 4-(dimethylamino)-benzoic acid (D4-DMBA), and D5-Girard P (D5-GP) using of ultra performance liquid chromatography-multiple reaction monitoring (UPLC-MRM). Firstly, an Oasis PRiME hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) 96-well solid phase extraction plate was used to pretreat a number of biological samples simultaneously. Secondly, hydroxyl and carbonyl steroids were labeled using two pairs of synthetic reagents, namely DMBA and D4-DMBA, and GP and D5-GP, respectively. Thirdly, the mixed products were detected using UPLC-MRM and the mass spectroscopy conditions were optimized. Methodology development showed that the sensitivity was enhanced 1 to >500-fold. Finally, the new method was applied to analysis of urine samples of healthy males, females and rats. The results revealed that the method can be sensitive and reliable for simultaneous quantification of steroid hormones containing hydroxyl and carbonyl groups in 12 min in a single run. This method provided a powerful tool for studying the metabolic mechanism of steroids and contributed to the development of targeted metabolomics. Steroid hormones are crucial substances that mediate a wide range of vital physiological functions.![]()

Abstract
Steroids are polycyclic compounds that share tetracyclic ring as core scaffold, and selective detection of a steroid is challenging owing to their structural similarities. The discovery of chemosensors that recognize progesterone by alteration of self-aggregation state is described, and these show significant fluorescence turn-on. A self-aggregated 48-membered dansyl library was screened against a series of metabolites in aqueous buffer and discovered two compounds (PG-1, PG-2) exhibited exceptional selectivity for progesterone. Following studies of aggregation properties of probes using dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy supports progesterone recognition lead to the generation of bulk aggregates that induce fluorescence enhancement. Though many fluorescence sensing mechanisms have been proposed, a sensing mode based on the bulk aggregate formation of fluorophore has never been reported, and this may open a new avenue of chemosensor design.

Abstract
Lipids, which have a core function in energy storage, signalling and biofilm structures, play important roles in a variety of cellular processes because of the great diversity of their structural and physiochemical properties. Lipidomics is the large-scale profiling and quantification of biogenic lipid molecules, the comprehensive study of their pathways and the interpretation of their physiological significance based on analytical chemistry and statistical analysis. Lipidomics will not only provide insight into the physiological functions of lipid molecules but will also provide an approach to discovering important biomarkers for diagnosis or treatment of human diseases. Mass-spectrometry-based analytical techniques are currently the most widely used and most effective tools for lipid profiling and quantification. In this review, the field of mass-spectrometry-based lipidomics was discussed. Recent progress in all essential steps in lipidomics was carefully discussed in this review, including lipid extraction strategies, separation techniques and mass-spectrometry-based analytical and quantitative methods in lipidomics. We also focused on novel resolution strategies for difficult problems in determining C=C bond positions in lipidomics. Finally, new technologies that were developed in recent years including single-cell lipidomics, flux-based lipidomics and multiomics technologies were also reviewed.

Abstract
Blood is widely used for discovery metabolomics to search for disease biomarkers. However, blood sample matrix can have a profound effect on metabolome analysis, which can impose an undesirable restriction on the type of blood collection tubes that can be used for blood metabolomics. We investigated the effect of blood sample matrix on metabolome analysis using a high-coverage and quantitative metabolome profiling technique based on differential chemical isotope labeling (CIL) LC-MS. We used 12C-/13C-dansylation LC-MS to perform relative quantification of the amine/phenol submetabolomes of four types of samples (i.e., serum, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, and citrate plasma) collected from healthy individuals and compare their metabolomic results. From the analysis of 80 plasma and serum samples in experimental triplicate, we detected a total of 3651 metabolites with an average of 1818 metabolites per run (n = 240). The number of metabolites detected and the precision and accuracy of relative quantification were found to be independent of the sample type. Within each sample type, the metabolome data set could reveal biological variation (e.g., sex separation). Although the relative concentrations of some individual metabolites might be different in the four types of samples, for sex separation, all 66 significant metabolites with larger fold-changes (FC ≥ 2 and p < 0.05) found in at least one sample type could be found in the other types of samples with similar or somewhat reduced, but still significant, fold-changes. Our results indicate that CIL LC-MS could overcome the sample matrix effect, thereby greatly broadening the scope of blood metabolomics; any blood samples properly collected in routine clinical settings, including those in biobanks originally used for other purposes, can potentially be used for discovery metabolomics.

Abstract
The simultaneous quantitation of multiple steroid hormones in real time is of great importance in medical diagnosis. In this study, a portable hormone biosensor based on duplex molecular recognition coupled with a signal-amplified substrate was successfully developed for the simultaneous visualization and quantitation of multiple steroid hormones. Aptamer-functionalized upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with different emission peaks are immobilized on the photonic crystal (PC) substrate as the nanoprobes, leading to the specific and simultaneous assay of multiple steroid hormones. Coupled with the luminescence-enhanced effect of the PC substrate, nanomolar quantification limits of multiple hormones are achieved. This well-designed biosensor is also promising in the quantification of multiple hormones in serum samples. The amplified luminescence signals can be visualized with the naked eye and captured by an unmodified phone camera. This hormone quantitation biosensor exhibits the advantages of multi-detection, visualization, high sensitivity, and selectivity for potential applications in clinical disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Metabolites containing a carbonyl group represent several important classes of molecules including various forms of ketones and aldehydes such as steroids and sugars. We report a high-performance chemical isotope labeling (CIL) LC-MS method for profiling the carbonyl submetabolome with high coverage and high accuracy and precision of relative quantification. This method is based on the use of dansylhydrazine (DnsHz) labeling of carbonyl metabolites to change their chemical and physical properties to such an extent that the labeled metabolites can be efficiently separated by reversed phase LC and ionized by electrospray ionization MS. In the analysis of six standards representing different carbonyl classes, acetaldehyde could be ionized only after labeling and MS signals were significantly increased for other 5 standards with an enhancement factor ranging from ∼15-fold for androsterone to ∼940-fold for 2-butanone. Differential 12C- and 13C-DnsHz labeling was developed for quantifying metabolic differences in comparative samples where individual samples were separately labeled with 12C-labeling and spiked with a 13C-labeled pooled sample, followed by LC-MS analysis, peak pair picking, and peak intensity ratio measurement. In the replicate analysis of a 1:1 12C-/13C-labeled human urine mixture (n = 6), an average of 2030 ± 39 pairs per run were detected with 1737 pairs in common, indicating the possibility of detecting a large number of carbonyl metabolites as well as high reproducibility of peak pair detection. The average RSD of the peak pair ratios was 7.6%, and 95.6% of the pairs had a RSD value of less than 20%, demonstrating high precision for peak ratio measurement. In addition, the ratios of most peak pairs were close to the expected value of 1.0 (e.g., 95.5% of them had ratios of between 0.67 and 1.5), showing the high accuracy of the method. For metabolite identification, a library of DnsHz-labeled standards was constructed, including 78 carbonyl metabolites with each containing MS, retention time (RT), and MS/MS information. This library and an online search program for labeled carbonyl metabolite identification based on MS, RT, and MS/MS matches have been implemented in a freely available Website, www.mycompoundid.org . Using this library, out of the 1737 peak pairs detected in urine, 33 metabolites were positively identified. In addition, 1333 peak pairs could be matched to the metabolome databases with most of them belonging to the carbonyl metabolites. These results show that 12C-/13C-DnsHz labeling LC-MS is a useful tool for profiling the carbonyl submetabolome of complex samples with high coverage.
