Abstract
Unsaturated lipids with carbon-carbon double bonds (C═C) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases. While mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has been employed to map the distribution of lipid isomers in tissue sections, the identification of lipid C═C positional isomers at the single-cell level using MSI poses a significant challenge. In this study, we developed a novel approach utilizing ToF-SIMS in conjunction with the Paternò-Büchi (P-B) photochemical reaction to characterize the C═C localization in unsaturated lipid isomers at the single-cell level. The P-B reaction was employed to produce adduct products, which were subsequently subjected to collision-induced dissociation by the primary ion beam of ToF-SIMS to generate characteristic ion pairs indicative of the presence of C═C bonds. Utilizing this approach, lipid isomers in brain and skeletal tissues from mice, as well as different cell lines, were visualized at single-cell resolution. Furthermore, distinct variations in the composition of FA 18:1 isomers across different microregions and cell types were revealed. Our P-B ToF-SIMS approach enables the accurate identification and characterization of complex lipid structures with remarkable spatial resolution and can be helpful in understanding the physiological role of these C═C positional isomers.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) imaging of lipids in tissues with high structure specificity is challenging in the effective fragmentation of position-selective structures and the sensitive detection of multiple lipid isomers. Herein, we develop an MS3 imaging method for the simultaneous analysis of phospholipid C═C and sn-position isomers by on-tissue photochemical derivatization, nanospray desorption electrospray ionization (nano-DESI), and a dual-linear ion trap MS system. A novel laser-based sensing probe is developed for the real-time adjustment of the probe-to-surface distance for nano-DESI. This method is validated in mouse brain and kidney sections, showing its capability of sensitive resolving and imaging of the fatty acyl chain composition, the sn-position, and the C═C location of phospholipids in an MS3 scan. MS3 imaging of phospholipids has shown the capability of differentiation of cancerous, fibrosis, and adjacent normal regions in liver cancer tissues.

Abstract
Petroleum olefins play important roles in various secondary processing procedures and are important feedstocks for the modern organic chemical industry. It is quite challenging to analyze petroleum olefins beyond the gas chromatography (GC)-able range using mass spectrometry (MS) due to the difficulty of soft ionization and the matrix complexity. In this work, a Paternò-Büchi (PB) reaction combined with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization and ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry (APCI-UHRMS) was developed for selective analysis of olefins. Through the PB reaction, C═C bonds were transformed into four-membered rings of oxetane with improved polarity so that soft ionization of olefins could be achieved. The systematic optimization of PB reaction conditions, as well as MS ionization conditions, ensured a high reaction yield and a satisfied MS response. Furthermore, a sound scheme was set up to discriminate the coexisting unsaturated alkanes in complex petroleum, including linear olefins, nonlinear olefins, cycloalkanes, and aromatics, making use of their different behaviors during the PB reaction and chemical ionization. The developed strategy was successfully applied to the analysis of olefins in fluid catalytic cracking oil slurry, a complex heavy oil sample. This method extended the characterization of petroleum olefins from lower to higher with high efficiency and selectivity to provide a comprehensive molecular library for heavy petroleum samples and process optimization.

Abstract
Probe nanoelectrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PESI-MS) is practically desirable for rapid and ultra-sensitive analysis of trace contaminants in environment, but limited with the stable and selective probe coating. Herein, we show the design and preparation of irreversible fluorine-based covalent organic framework (TFPPA-F4) covalently bonded probe to couple with ESI-MS (TFPPA-F4-PESI-MS) for direct and rapid determination of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) in environmental water. Chemical bonding coating of irreversible crystalline TFPPA-F4 not only improved stability of the probe, but also offered accessible multiple interactions including hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding and F-F interactions to promote the kinetics and selectivity for PFCAs. The proposed TFPPA-F4-PESI-MS realized rapid determination of PFCAs (about 4 min) with low limits of detection of 0.06-0.88 ng L-1 and wide linear range of 1-5000 ng L-1 (R2 of 0.9982-0.9998). Recoveries for the spiked lake and pond water were 85.9-111.1 %. TFPPA-F4 based probe can maintain the extraction performance after 100 times of extraction. This work shows the great potential of the irreversible covalent organic framework based PESI-MS in rapid and ultra-sensitive determination of contaminants in environmental samples.

Abstract
Unsaturated lipids play an essential role in life activities. Identifying and quantifying their carbon-carbon double bond (CC) isomers have become a hot topic in recent years. In lipidomics, the analysis of unsaturated lipids in complex biological samples usually requires high-throughput methods, which puts forward the requirements of rapid response and simple operation for identification. In this paper, we proposed a photoepoxidation strategy, which uses benzoin to open the double bonds of unsaturated lipids to form epoxides under ultraviolet light and aerobic conditions. Photoepoxidation is controlled by light and has a fast response. After 5 min, the derivatization yield can reach 80% with no side reaction products. Besides, the method has the advantages of high quantitation accuracy and a high yield of diagnostic ions. It was successfully applied to rapidly identify the double bond locations of various unsaturated lipids in both positive and negative ion modes, and to rapidly identify and quantitatively analyze the various isomers of unsaturated lipids in mouse tissue extract. So the method has the potential for large-scale analysis of unsaturated lipids in complex biological samples.

Abstract
Direct sampling of lipids from tissues for direct mass spectrometry (MS) analysis allows a quick profiling of lipidome, which is important for biomedical applications. In this work, we developed a polyporous polymeric membrane (PPM) microprobe for highly efficient sampling of lipids directly from tissue samples. The PPM was prepared by polypropylene with pores as large of 10 μm, facilitating the permeation of lipids from tissue surfaces. The PPM was coated onto a stainless steel wire with a thickness of ∼100 μm. The entire analysis procedure includes sampling of the lipids in tissue, washing the probe, and extraction spray ionization for MS analysis. The effectiveness was validated by analyzing mouse brain tissue samples. It showed high recoveries for a series of lipid classes in comparison with total lipid extraction method. Further demonstration was carried out with analysis of tissue samples from mouse liver, stomach, kidney and legs. With high physical strength and good chemical stability, the microprobe was also demonstrated for sampling lipids inside mouse kidney tissue samples. By incorporating a photochemical derivatization, a workflow was also developed for fast detection of lipid C

Abstract
We present a novel combination of a metal oxide laser ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MOLI MSI) technique with off-line lipid derivatization by ozone for the detection of fatty acids (FA) and their carbon-carbon double bond (C═C) positional isomers in biological tissues. MOLI MSI experiments were realized with CeO2 and TiO2 nanopowders using a vacuum matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI TOF) mass spectrometer in the negative mode. The catalytic properties of these metal oxides allow FA cleavage from phospholipids under UV laser irradiation. At the same time, fragile ozonides produced at the sites of unsaturation decomposed, yielding four diagnostic ions specific for the C═C positions. Advantageously, two MOLI MSI runs from a single tissue sprayed with the metal oxide suspension were performed. The first run prior to ozone derivatization revealed the distribution of FAs, while the second run after the reaction with ozone offered additional information about FA C═C isomers. The developed procedure was demonstrated on MSI of a normal mouse brain and human colorectal cancer tissues uncovering the differential distribution of FAs down to the isomer level. Compared to the histological analysis, MOLI MSI showed the distinct distribution of specific FAs in different functional parts of the brain and in healthy and cancer tissues pointing toward its biological relevance. The developed technique can be directly adopted by laboratories with MALDI TOF analyzers and help in the understanding of the local FA metabolism in tissues.

Abstract
Specific locations of carbon-carbon double bonds (C═C) in lipids often play an essential role in biological processes, and there has been a booming development in C═C composition analysis by mass spectrometry. However, a universal derivatization and fragmentation pattern for the annotation of C═C positions in lipids is still challenging and attractive. To expand this field in lipidomics, a flexible and convenient N-tosylaziridination method was developed, with high derivatization efficiency, sensitivity, and specificity. The derivatization was very fast (15 s), and C═C numbers as well as locations could be pinpointed specifically in tandem mass spectra. By qualitative and quantitative studies of paratumor and tumor thyroid tissues of human beings, the total content of unsaturated fatty acids was suggested to be increased in tumor tissues, and good correlations in and between lysophosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylcholines were revealed by Spearman analysis. Further studies of C═C isomers showed that n-6/n-3 ratios were closely associated with human thyroid tumorigenesis, and high ratios of n-6/n-3 isomers seemed to suffer a high risk of carcinogenesis. Other isomers were not very representative; however, C═C in n-9/n-7 could also be significant for oncology research. Generally, it is supposed that both total amounts and C═C isomer ratios were related to cancer, and N-tosylaziridine derivatization could provide an alternative strategy for the C═C isomer study of disease models.

Abstract
In recent years, the development of unsaturated lipid isomeric imaging based on the Paternò-Büchi (PB) reaction has improved significantly. However, research on this imaging method in ambient conditions needs to expand. In this paper, a method of PB reaction in the solid phase in ambient conditions is developed, which is combined with air-flow-assisted desorption electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (AFADESI-MS) to achieve in situ imaging of lipids at an isomeric level. Experiments showed that the efficiency of the PB reaction was much higher when spraying the reagent solution than when sprinkling the reactant powder directly, and it was not lower than that in the liquid phase. This method can simplify the reaction conditions in the imaging process and can be applied to tissue section samples with only 10 min of pre-processing. The study successfully demonstrated the spatial distribution of unsaturated lipid isomers, and the isomeric ratio corresponded to the lesion areas in mouse brain cancer tissues. Due to its simple operation and performance in ambient conditions, this method may be useful for future studies on lipid isomers in tissues.

Abstract
The rapid and direct structural characterization of lipids proves to be critical for studying the functional roles of lipids in many biological processes. Among numerous analytical techniques, ambient ionization mass spectrometry (AIMS) allows for a direct molecular characterization of lipids from various complex biological samples with no/minimal sample pretreatment. Over the recent years, researchers have expanded the applications of the AIMS techniques to lipid structural elucidation via a combination with a series of derivatization strategies (e.g., the Paternò–Büchi (PB) reaction, ozone-induced dissociation (OzID), and epoxidation reaction), including carbon–carbon double bond (C=C) locations and sn-positions isomers. Herein, this review summarizes the reaction mechanisms of various derivatization strategies for C=C bond analysis, typical instrumental setup, and applications of AIMS in the structural elucidation of lipids from various biological samples (e.g., tissues, cells, and biofluids). In addition, future directions of AIMS for lipid structural elucidation are discussed.

Abstract
This study aims to introduce the concept of utilizing a solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge for remote biofluid collection, followed by direct sample analysis at a later time. For this, a dried matrix spot was prepared in a syringe, in the form of SPE cartridge for the first time to enable small biofluid collection (microsampling), storage, shipment, and online electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of the stored dried samples. The SPE sorbents were packed into an ESI syringe and the resultant cartridge was used for sampling small volumes (<20 μL) of different complex biological fluids including blood, plasma, serum, and urine. The collected sample was stored in the dry state within the confinement of the SPE sorbent at room temperature, and analyte stability (e.g., diazepam) was maintained for more than a year. Direct coupling of the SPE cartridge to MS provides excellent accuracy, precision, and sensitivity for analyzing illicit drugs present in the biofluid. The corresponding mechanism of wrong-way positive ion generation from highly basic elution solvents was explored. Without chromatography, our direct SPE-ESI-MS analysis technique afforded detection limits as low as 26 and 140 pg/mL for raw urine and untreated plasma, respectively. These promising results proved that the new syringe-based SPE cartridge can serve as a good alternative to conventional microsampling techniques in terms of analyte stability, ease of operation and versatility, and analytical sensitivity and speed.

Abstract
Discovering cancer biomarkers is of significance for clinical medicine and disease diagnosis. In this article, we develop an in-capillary extraction nanoelectrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ICE-nanoESI-MS) method to rapidly and in situ investigate human colorectal cancer for discovering lipid biomarkers. The ICE-nanoESI-MS method is performed using a tungsten microdissecting probe for in situ microsampling of surgical human colorectal cancer tumors and their paired distal noncancerous tissues during/after surgery. After sampling, the tungsten probe and the adhered tissues are inserted into a nanospray tip prefilled with some solvent for simultaneous in-capillary extraction and nanoESI-MS detection under ambient and open-air conditions. Online coupling of the Paternò-Büchi reaction and radical-direct fragmentation with ICE-nanoESI-MS is easily realized, which provides the opportunity to precisely determine carbon-carbon double bond (C═C) locations and stereospecific numbering (sn) positions of lipid biomarkers. Subsequently, a total of 12 pairs of colorectal cancer tumors and distal noncancerous tissues from different patients are investigated by our proposed ICE-nanoESI-MS method. A significant increase in lysophospholipids and fatty acids as well as a significant decrease in ceramides are discovered, and lysophospholipids are found as the potential biomarkers related to the formation and pathogenesis of human colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Echium oil has great nutritional value as a result of its high content of α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3ω-3) and stearidonic acid (SDA, 18:4ω-3). However, the comprehensive lipid profiling and exact structural characterization of bioactive polyunsaturated lipids in echium oil have not yet been obtained. In this study, we developed a novel pseudotargeted lipidomics strategy for comprehensive profiling and lipid structural elucidation of polyunsaturated lipid-rich echium oil. Our approach integrated untargeted lipidomics analysis with a targeted lipidomics strategy based on Paternò-Büchi (PB)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using 2-acetylpyridine (2-AP) as the reaction reagent, allowing for high-coverage lipid profiling and simultaneous determination of C═C locations in triacylglycerols (TGs), diacylglycerols (DGs), free fatty acids (FFAs), and sterol esters (SEs) in echium oil. A total of 209 lipid species were profiled, among which 162 unsaturated lipids were identified with C═C location assignment and 42 groups of ω-3 and ω-6 C═C location isomers were discovered. In addition, relative isomer ratios of certain groups of lipid C═C location isomers were revealed. This pseudotargeted lipidomics strategy described in this study is expected to provide new insight into structural characterization of distinctive bioactive lipids in food.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) of lipids within tissues has significant potential for both biomolecular discovery and histopathological applications. Conventional MSI technologies are, however, challenged by the prevalence of phospholipid regioisomers that differ only in the location(s) of carbon-carbon double bonds and/or the relative position of fatty acyl attachment to the glycerol backbone (i.e., sn position). The inability to resolve isomeric lipids within imaging experiments masks underlying complexity, resulting in a critical loss of metabolic information. Herein, ozone-induced dissociation (OzID) is implemented on a mobility-enabled quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer capable of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI). Exploiting the ion mobility region in the Q-TOF, high number densities of ozone were accessed, leading to ∼1000-fold enhancement in the abundance of OzID product ions compared to earlier MALDI-OzID implementations. Translation of this uplift into imaging resulted in a 50-fold improvement in acquisition rate, facilitating large-area mapping with resolution of phospholipid isomers. Mapping isomer distributions across rat brain sections revealed distinct distributions of lipid isomer populations with region-specific associations of isomers differing in double bond and sn positions. Moreover, product ions arising from sequential ozone- and collision-induced dissociation enabled double bond assignments in unsaturated fatty acyl chains esterified at the noncanonical sn-1 position.

Abstract
Triacylglycerol (TG) is a class of lipids that is responsible for energy storage and cell metabolism in biological systems; it is found in relatively high abundances in biological fluids such as human plasma. Due to structural complexity, analyzing TGs using shotgun lipidomic approaches is challenging because of the presence of multiple fatty acyl compositional isomers. In this work, reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) was used for separation of TG species due to the capability of separating lipids based on fatty acyl chain lengths and degrees of unsaturation. RPLC alone does not provide structurally informative information for the location of carbon-carbon double-bonds (C[double bond, length as m-dash]Cs) without using synthesized standards that correspond to each species analyzed. The Paternò-Büchi (PB) reaction was employed online to confidently characterize the location of C[double bond, length as m-dash]Cs within lipid species via photo-initiated modification of the alkene group with acetone, which was later subjected to electrospray ionization (ESI) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to form signature fragmentation peaks. This online RPLC-PB-MS/MS system was able to distinguish fatty acyl level and C[double bond, length as m-dash]C level isomeric species. The systems allowed for the identification of 46 TG molecular species in human plasma with confident C[double bond, length as m-dash]C location assignment in fatty acyls at a limit of identification of 50 nM.

Abstract
The Paternò-Büchi (PB) reaction is a common organic reaction in which a carbonyl radical formed by exposure to UV radiation reacts with an alkene to form an oxetane ring. Recent analytical applications of this reaction have included the determination of C═C bond position in lipid fatty acyl tails using tandem mass spectrometry. Our group has recently investigated methods for structurally modifying steroid isomers to improve their identification and resolution using ion mobility spectrometry. Herein, we report the first application of the Paternò-Büchi reaction to form steroid oxetanes using a simple, low-cost, and high efficiency method with a low pressure mercury lamp. This methodology is performed on several endogenous steroid isomers, resulting in unique ion mobility spectra that provide a unique fingerprint for each. These fingerprint spectra can add confidence in identification of those compounds, especially in complex biological matrixes. Testosterone and epitestosterone, an epimer pair commonly interrogated in a number of applications such as for their use as performance enhancing drugs, displayed one and three unique ion mobility peaks, respectively. These spectra and their measured collision cross sections (CCS) allow for unambiguous differentiation of these and several other steroid isomer groups analyzed in this work. Finally, multiple anabolic androgenic steroids prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency were tested with this method and resulted in unique CCS for their PB reaction products. This approach can offer improved confidence in their identification as well as for many other banned substances.

Abstract
Visualizing the differential distribution of carbon-carbon double bond (C═C db) positional isomers of unsaturated phospholipids (PL) in tissue sections by use of refined matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) technologies offers a high promise to deeper understand PL metabolism and isomer-specific functions in health and disease. Here we introduce an on-tissue ozonization protocol that enables a particular straightforward derivatization of unsaturated lipids in tissue sections. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of MALDI-generated ozonide ions (with yields in the several ten percent range) produced the Criegee fragment ion pairs, which are indicative of C═C db position(s). We used our technique for visualizing the differential distribution of Δ9 and Δ11 isomers of phosphatidylcholines in mouse brain and in human colon samples with the desorption laser spot size 15 μm, emphasizing the potential of the technique to expose local isomer-specific metabolism of PLs.

Abstract
In vivo solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been recently proposed for the extraction, clean-up and preconcentration of analytes of biological and clinical concern. Bioanalysis can be performed by sampling exo- or endogenous compounds directly in living organisms with minimum invasiveness. In this context, innovative and miniaturized devices characterized by both commercial and lab-made coatings for in vivo SPME tissue sampling have been proposed, thus assessing the feasibility of this technique for biomarker discovery, metabolomics studies or for evaluating the environmental conditions to which organisms can be exposed. Finally, the possibility of directly interfacing SPME to mass spectrometers represents a valuable tool for the rapid quali- and quantitative analysis of complex matrices. This review article provides a survey of in vivo SPME applications focusing on the extraction of tissues, cells and simple organisms. This survey will attempt to cover the state-of- the-art from 2014 up to 2019.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2019; 30:2646-2654. [PMID: 31628596 DOI: 10.1007/s13361-019-02334-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2019] [Revised: 08/24/2019] [Accepted: 08/24/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Lipids exert substantial influences on vertebrate embryogenesis, but their metabolic dynamics at detailed structural levels remains elusive, primarily owing to the lack of a tool capable of resolving their huge structural diversity. Herein, we present the first large-scale and spatiotemporal monitoring of unsaturated lipids with C=C specificity in single developing zebrafish embryos enabled by photochemical derivatization and tandem mass spectrometry (MS). The lipid isomer composition was found extremely stable in yolk throughout embryogenesis, while notable differences in ratios of C=C location (e.g., PC 16:0_16:1 (7) vs. 16:0_16:1 (9)) and fatty acyl composition isomers (e.g., PC 16:1_18:1 vs. 16:0_18:2) were unveiled between blastomeres and yolk from zygote to 4 h post fertilization (hpf). From 24 hpf onwards, lipid isomer compositions in embryo head and tail evolved distinctively with development, suggesting a meticulously regulated lipid remodeling essential for cell division and differentiation. This work has laid the foundation for functional studies of structurally defined lipids in vertebrate embryology.

Identification of polyunsaturated triacylglycerols and CC location isomers in sacha inchi oil by photochemical reaction mass spectrometry combined with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Food Chem 2019; 307:125568. [PMID: 31630021 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2019.125568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2019] [Revised: 09/16/2019] [Accepted: 09/17/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Sacha inchi oil is derived from the seeds of Plukenetia volubilis L. and has great nutritional value due to its high contents of active polyunsaturated triacylglycerols (PUTAGs). In this study, we developed a methodology combined Paternò-Büchi reaction nanoelectrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PB-nanoESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to identify CC locations and isomers of PUTAGs in sacha inchi oil. Benzophenone was used as the PB reagent, and the optimized solvent composition (methanol:chloroform = 9:1) allowed for PUTAGs and their PB products to be detected with higher intensities. In addition, we made efforts to interpret the MS2 spectra for identification lipid species. A series of C57-PUTAGs and C59-PUTAGs were detected and identified via high-resolution PB-nanoESI-MS, and the predominant PUTAGs were TAG 18:1(Δ9)_18:3(Δ9,12,15)_18:3(Δ9,12,15) and TAG 18:2(Δ9,12)_18:2(Δ9,12)_18:3 (Δ9,12,15), which demonstrated that the PB-nanoESI-MS approach in this study provides help in promoting the development of structural determination of triacylglycerols in food chemistry.
