Abstract
Carboxylic acids are central metabolites in bioenergetics, signal transduction, and post-translation protein regulation. However, the quantitative analysis of carboxylic acids as an indispensable part of metabolomics is prohibitively challenging, particularly in trace amounts of biosamples. Here we report a diazo-carboxyl/hydroxylamine-ketone double click derivatization method for the sensitive analysis of hydrophilic, low-molecular-weight carboxylic acids. In general, our method renders a 5- to 2000-fold higher response in mass spectrometry along with improved chromatographic separation. With this method, we presented the near-single-cell analysis of carboxylic acid metabolites in 10 mouse egg cells before and after fertilization. Malate, fumarate, and β-hydroxybutyrate were found to decrease after fertilization. We also monitored the isotope labeling kinetics of carboxylic acids inside adherent cells cultured in 96-well plates during drug treatment. Finally, we applied this method to plasma or serum samples (5 μL) collected from mice and humans under pathological and physiological conditions. The double click derivatization method paves a way toward single-cell metabolomics and bedside diagnostics.

An integrated approach to evaluate acetamiprid-induced oxidative damage to tRNA in human cells based on oxidized nucleotide and tRNA profiling. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2023; 178:108038. [PMID: 37343327 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2023.108038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023]
Abstract
Acetamiprid is poisonous to mammals due to severe acetamiprid-induced oxidative stress that could cause mitochondrial dysfunctions, lipid and protein oxidation, inflammation, apoptosis, and DNA damage. Evidence has accumulated for the role of oxidative stress in changing structures and functions of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) by inducing tRNA cleavage, reprogramming tRNA modifications and impairing aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase editing sites. However, the impact of acetamiprid-induced oxidative stress on tRNA is still unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of acetamiprid on cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, DNA damage, cellular oxidized nucleotide concentrations, and oxidative damage to tRNA in HepG2 cells and LO2 cells. Acetamiprid can cause the significant increment of ROS and DNA oxidative damage. In this study, an integrated approach was established to simultaneously study the network of oxidized nucleotides and explore the tRNA oxidative damage after acetamiprid exposure. A simple and high-throughput liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method coupled with (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane (TMSD) derivatization was successfully developed to quantify 12 cellular oxidized nucleotides that cannot be detected using traditional detection methods because of the huge interferences from naturally abundant nucleotides. Meanwhile, the accumulation rate and the locating sites of 8-oxo-2, 7-dihydro-guanine (8-oxo-G) in tRNA were inspected using the established N-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyl)-N-methyl-trifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA) labeling-based tRNA profiling method. After acetamiprid treatment, the increment of oxidized nucleoside triphosphates is smaller than that of their corresponding mono- and diphosphates, as well as the dephosphorylated nucleosides, on account of the existence of sanitization enzymes. Several tRNA fragments, CUC[m1A]Gp, CACGp, [Cm]C[m2G]p, and DDGp, are significantly downregulated in acetamiprid-treated HepG2 cells, while only [Cm]C[m2G]p in acetamiprid-treated LO2 cells. According to the profiling results, the significantly changed fragment CUC[m1A]Gp might be caused by the oxidation of guanine (G) to form 8-oxo-G at position 15 in human tRNAphe([Gm]AA), providing more information about the effect of oxidized nucleobases on tRNA's functions.

Abstract
Central carbon metabolism pathway (CCM) is one of the most important metabolic pathways in all living organisms and play crucial function in aspect of organism life. However, the simultaneous detection of CCM intermediates remains challenging. Here, we developed a chemical isotope labeling combined with LC-MS method for simultaneous determination of CCM intermediates with high coverage and accuracy. By chemical derivatization with 2-(diazo-methyl)-N-methyl-N-phenyl-benzamide (2-DMBA) and d5-2-DMBA, all CCM intermediates obtain better separation and accurate quantification at a single LC-MS run. The obtained limits of detection of CCM intermediates ranged from 5 to 36 pg/mL. Using this method, we achieved simultaneous and accurate quantification of 22 CCM intermediates in different biological samples. Take account of the high detection sensitivity of the developed method, this method was further applied to the quantification of CCM intermediates at single-cell level. Finally, 21 CCM intermediates were detected in 1000 HEK-293T cells and 9 CCM intermediates were detected in mouse kidney glomeruli optical slice samples (10∼100 cells).

Abstract
Amino acids are important biomolecules and contribute to essential biological processes. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) now is a powerful tool for the analysis of amino acid metabolites; however, the structural similarity and polarity of amino acids can lead to the poor chromatographic retention and low detection sensitivities. In this study, we used a pair of light and heavy isotopomers of diazo probes, d0/d5-2-(diazomethyl)-N-methyl-N-phenyl-benzamide (2-DMBA/d5 -2-DMBA) to label amino acids. The paired MS probes of 2-DMBA and d5 -2-DMBA carry diazo groups that can efficiently and specifically react with the carboxyl group on free amino acid metabolites under mild conditions. Benefiting from the transfer of the 2-DMBA/d5 -2-DMBA to carboxyl group on amino acids, the ionization efficiencies of amino acids presented great enhancement during LC-MS analysis. The results suggested that the detection sensitivities of 17 amino acids increased by 9-133-fold upon 2-DMBA labeling, and the obtained limits of detection (LODs) of amino acids on-column ranged from 0.011 fmol-0.057 fmol. With the application of the developed method, we successfully achieved the sensitive and accurate detection of the 17 amino acids in microliter level of serum sample. Moreover, the contents of most amino acids were different in the serum from normal and B16F10-tumour mice, demonstrating that endogenous amino acids may play important roles in the regulation of tumors development. This developed method of chemical labeling of amino acids with diazo probes assisted LC-MS analysis provides a potentially valuable tool to investigate the relationships between amino acids metabolism and diseases.

Abstract
To date, the extremely high polarity and poor signal intensity of macromolecular nucleic acids are greatly impeding the progress of mass spectrometry technology in the quality control of nucleic acid drugs and the characterization of DNA oxidation and RNA modifications. We recently described a general N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-N-methyl-trifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA) labeling method for oligonucleotide determination and applied it to the full-range profiling of tRNA in vitro and in vivo studies for the first time. The primary advantages of this method include strong retention, no observable byproducts, predictable and easily interpreted MS2 data, and the circumvention of instrument harmful reagents that were necessary in previous methods. Selective labeling of N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-N-methyl-trifluoroacetamide to the terminal phosphate groups of oligonucleotides endows it broadly applicable for DNA/RNA profiling. Moreover, the improvement of sequence coverage was achieved in yeast tRNAphe(GAA) analysis owing to this method's good detection capability of 1-12 nucleotides in length. We also extended this strategy to determine the abundance of modified bases and discover new modifications via digesting RNA into single-nucleotide products, promoting the comprehensive mapping of RNA. The easy availability of derivatization reagent and the simple, rapid one-step reaction render it easy to operate for researchers. When applied in characterizing tRNAs in HepG2 cells and rats with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a fragment of U[m1G][m2G], specific for tRNAAsn(QUU) in cells, was significantly upregulated, indicating a possible clue to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Phosphomonoesters are important biosynthetic and energy metabolism intermediates in microorganisms. A comprehensive analysis of phosphomonoester metabolites is of great significance for the understanding of their metabolic phosphorylation process and inner mechanism. In this study, we established a pair of isotope reagent d0/d5-2-diazomethyl-N-methyl-phenyl benzamide-labeling-based LC-MS method for the comprehensive analysis of phosphomonoester metabolites. By this method, the labeled phosphomonoester metabolites specifically produced characteristic isotope paired peaks with an m/z difference of 5.0314 in the MS1 spectra and a pair of diagnostic ions (m/z 320.0693/325.1077) in the MS2 spectra. Based on this, a diagnostic ion-based strategy was established for the rapid screening, identification, and relative quantification of phosphomonoester metabolites. Using this strategy, 42 phosphomonoester metabolites were highly accurately identified fromSaccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae). Notably, two phosphomonoesters were first detected fromS. cerevisiae. The relative quantification results indicated that the contents of nine phosphomonoester metabolites including two intermediates (Ru5P and S7P) in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) were significantly different between lycopene-producible and wild-type S. cerevisiae. A further enzyme assay indicated that the activity of the PPP was closely related to the production of lycopene. Our findings provide new perspectives for the related mechanism study and valuable references for making informed microbial engineering decisions.

Abstract
Sugar phosphates are important metabolic intermediates in organisms and play a vital role in energy and central carbon metabolism. Profiling of sugar phosphates is of great significance but full of challenges due to their high structural similarity and low sensitivities in liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS). In this study, we developed a novel stable isotope chemical labeling combined with the reversed-phase (RP)LC-MS method for ultrasensitive determination of sugar phosphates at the single-cell level. By chemical derivatization with 2-(diazo-methyl)-N-methyl-N-phenyl-benzamide (2-DMBA) and d5-2-DMBA, sugar phosphate isomers can obtain better separation and identification, and the detection sensitivities of sugar phosphates increased by 3.5-147 folds. The obtained limits of detection of sugar phosphates ranged from 5 to 16 pg/mL. Using this method, we achieved ultrasensitive and accurate quantification of 12 sugar phosphates in different trace biological samples. Benefiting from the improved separation and detection sensitivity, we successfully quantified five sugar phosphates (d-glucose 1-phosphate, d-mannose 6-phosphate, d-fructose 6-phosphate, d-glucose 6-phosphate, and seduheptulose 7-phosphate) in a single protoplast of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract
Yolk-shell structure magnetic metal-organic framework nanoparticles were prepared via post solvothermal method and employed as a magnetic solid-phase extraction adsorbent for selective pre-concentration of 5'-ribonucleotides by π stacking interaction, hydrogen bonding, and the strong interaction between titanium ions (Ti4+) and phosphate group. The properties of the materials were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, vibrating sample magnetometer, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. The main parameters affecting the adsorption-desorption process, including adsorbent amount, incubation time, incubation temperature, sample pH, shaking speed, elution solution, and elution time, were systematically optimized. Finally, 1.0 mg of adsorbent mixed with 1.0 mL sample solution (10.0 mmol⋅L-1 NaCl, pH 3.0) and shaken at 135 rpm for 5 min at 40 °C, washed with 1.0 mL Na3PO4-NH3∙H2O under vortex for 5 min were selected as optimized adsorption-desorption conditions. The binding performance of adsorbent towards five nucleotides was evaluated by static adsorption experiments. The data are well-fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model and the maximum adsorption capacity is 27.8 mg g-1 for adenosine 5'-monophosphate. The limit of detection of the method is 19.44-38.41 ng mL-1. Under the optimal conditions, the adsorbent was successfully applied to magnetic solid-phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography determination of five nucleotides in octopus, chicken, fish, and pork samples.

Abstract
Apart from the four canonical nucleobases, DNA molecules carry a number of natural modifications. Substantial evidence shows that DNA modifications can regulate diverse biological processes. Dynamic and reversible modifications of DNA are critical for cell differentiation and development. Dysregulation of DNA modifications is closely related to many human diseases. The research of DNA modifications is a rapidly expanding area and has been significantly stimulated by the innovations of analytical methods. With the recent advances in methods and techniques, a series of new DNA modifications have been discovered in the genomes of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Deciphering the biological roles of DNA modifications depends on the sensitive detection, accurate quantification, and genome-wide mapping of modifications in genomic DNA. This review provides an overview of the recent advances in analytical methods and techniques for both the quantification and genome-wide mapping of natural DNA modifications. We discuss the principles, advantages, and limitations of these developed methods. It is anticipated that new methods and techniques will resolve the current challenges in this burgeoning research field and expedite the elucidation of the functions of DNA modifications.

Abstract
The discovery of dynamic and reversible modifications in RNA expands their functional repertoires. Now, RNA modifications have been viewed as new regulators involved in a variety of biological processes. Among these modifications, thiolation is one kind of special modification in RNA. Several thiouridines have been identified to be present in RNA, and they are essential in the natural growth and metabolism of cells. However, detection of these thiouridines generally is challenging, and few studies could offer the quantitative levels of uridine modifications in RNA, which limits the in-depth elucidation of their functions. Herein, we developed a chemical derivatization in combination with mass spectrometry analysis for the sensitive and simultaneous determination of uridine thiolation and hydroxylation modifications in eukaryotic RNA. The chemical derivatization strategy enables the addition of easily ionizable groups to the uridine thiolation and hydroxylation modifications, leading up to a 339-fold increase in detection sensitivities of these modifications by mass spectrometry analysis. The limits of detection of these uridine modifications can be down to 17 amol. With the established method, we discovered and confirmed that a new modification of 5-hydroxyuridine (ho5U) was widely present in small RNAs of mammalian cells, expanding the diversity of RNA modifications. The developed method shows superior capability in determining low-abundance RNA modifications and may promote identifying new modifications in RNA, which should be valuable in uncovering the unknown functions of RNA modifications.

Abstract
Polar phosphorylated metabolites are involved in a variety of biological processes and play vital roles in energetic metabolism, cofactor regeneration, and nucleic acid synthesis. However, it is often challenging to interrogate polar phosphorylated metabolites and compounds from biological samples. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) now plays a central role in metabolomic studies. However, LC/MS-based approaches have been hampered by the issues of the low ionization efficiencies, low in vivo concentrations, and less chemical stability of polar phosphorylated metabolites. In this work, we synthesized paired reagents of light and heavy isotopomers, 2-(diazomethyl)phenyl)(9-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-2-yl)methanone (DMPI) and d3-(2-(diazomethyl)phenyl)(9-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-2-yl)methanone (d3-DMPI). The paired reagents of DMPI and d3-DMPI carry diazo groups that can efficiently and selectively react with the phosphate group on polar phosphorylated metabolites under mild conditions. As a proof of concept, we found that the transfer of the indole heterocycle group from DMPI/d3-DMPI to ribonucleotides led to the significant increase of ionization efficiencies of ribonucleotides during LC/MS analysis. The detection sensitivities of these ribonucleotides increased by 25-1137-fold upon DMPI tagging with the limits of detection (LODs) being between 7 and 150 amol. With the developed method, we achieved the determination of all the 12 ribonucleotides from a single mammalian cell and from a single stamen of Arabidopsis thaliana. The method provides a valuable tool to investigate the dynamic changes of polar phosphorylated metabolites in a single cell under particular conditions.

Abstract
The recent discovery of reversible chemical modifications on mRNA has opened a new era of post-transcriptional gene regulation in eukaryotes. Among these modifications identified in eukaryotic mRNA, N7-methylguanosine (m7G) is unique owing to its presence in the 5' cap structure. Recently, it has been reported that m7G also exists internally in mRNA. Here, we describe a protocol of combining differential enzymatic digestion with liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) analysis to detect internal m7G modification in mRNA. This protocol can also be used to quantify the level of m7G at both the 5' cap and internal positions of mRNA.

Abstract
In this work, a new series of chemical isotope labeling reagents, levofloxacin-hydrazide-based mass tags (LHMTs) named as LHMT359/360/361/362/363/364/365/366/373/375/376/378/379/381 were first designed and synthesized for the high-throughput analysis of potential biomarkers containing hexanal and heptanal of lung cancer. We exploited a new core structure of levofloxacin-d3, which significantly enhanced the multiplexing capability. Among them, LHMT359 was used for labeling standard compounds as internal standards for quantification. Using LHMT373-heptanal as dummy template, dummy magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (DMMIPs) were prepared for magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction after derivatization procedure. Other 12 LHMTs were established for high-throughput labeling hexanal and heptanal in human serum samples. The presynthesized DMMIPs can selectively extract LHMTs-derivatives of hexanal and heptanal from equally mixed derivatization solutions. The enriched derivatives of hexanal and heptanal were quantified by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). A single UHPLC-MS/MS run enabled simultaneously quantifying hexanal and heptanal from 12 serum samples only within 2 min. The limits of detection were all 0.5 pM for hexanal and heptanal. The accuracies from human serum samples ranged from -10.2% to +11.0% with the intra- and interday precisions less than 11.3%. Meanwhile, this method was successfully applied for the analysis of hexanal and heptanal in serum samples from healthy people and lung cancer patients. The results show that this method has the significant advantages of high sensitivity, accuracy, selectivity, and analysis-throughput. The method application indicates that the developed method is promising in the screening of suspected lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Triptolide, a major active ingredient of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, provides anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. In this study, a microwave-assisted stable isotope labeling derivatization-magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction (MA-SILD-MDSPE) combined with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method has been developed for the determination of the triptolide in rat microdialysates. A pair of SILD reagents (d0-/d3-3-N-methyl-2'-carboxyl Rhodamine 6G, d0-/d3-MCR6G) were used to label triptolide in real samples and standards under mild conditions. The introduction of SILD reagents enhanced the sensitivity of MS/MS detection and ensured accurate quantification. A novel molecularly imprinted polymer coating with d0-MCR6G labeled triptolide as template was firstly synthesized by precipitation polymerization method, and used to selectively extract the labeled triptolides from complex matrices. The purified d0-/d3-MCR6G-triptolides were determined by UHPLC-MS/MS analysis. Using the proposed method, a good linearity (R2>0.995), low limits of detection (LOD, 0.45-0.50 pg/mL) and quantification (LOQ, 3.0 pg/mL) were achieved. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were within the acceptable ranges. No significant matrix effect was observed. The derivatization efficiency was more than 96 %. The validated method was successfully applied to a comparative pharmacokinetic study of triptolide synchronously in brain and blood of normal and Alzheimer's disease rats by in vivo microdialysis sampling technique.
