Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyamine detection technology, and in particular to a detection system for polyamine metabolic activity of gut microbiota based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Background Technology

[0002] Polyamines (including putrescine PUT, spermine SPM, spermidine SPD and their acetylated metabolites, etc.) are important substances for maintaining the growth and development of the body. Therefore, analyzing changes in the level of polyamines in the intestine is helpful in evaluating disease and health status.

[0003] Existing technologies typically employ high-throughput sequencing to characterize the gut microbiota composition in depth. However, due to the high polarity of polyamines, high-throughput sequencing can only limit research to the gut microbiota level and cannot evaluate the metabolic function of polyamine production by the gut microbiota. Therefore, many methods for quantitative analysis of polyamines in blood or urine have emerged. Xiong et al. disclosed a method for detecting the concentration of derivatized polyamines in human plasma samples using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) (Chromatographia, 2016). This method evaluates the polyamine status in the plasma of cancer patients after derivatization. CN106381326A discloses an in vitro detection kit and method for detecting acetylpolyamine, utilizing acetylpolyamine oxidase to catalyze natural substrates and detect the content of acetylpolyamine in samples. CN110887910A discloses a method for detecting polyamines and their synthetic pathway substances, using dansyl chloride or benzoyl chloride as derivatization reagents, and establishing a method for the extraction and accurate quantitative detection of nine biogenic amines in citrus roots using LC-MS / MS technology.

[0004] The aforementioned techniques use blood or urine as sample sources and perform derivatization or acetylation treatments to quantify the static concentration of polyamines. However, gut microbiota continuously engage in metabolic activities within the human body, and these methods cannot dynamically evaluate the metabolic levels of gut polyamines. Furthermore, while plasma polyamine concentrations can reflect the polyamine levels in systemic organs and tissues, they cannot directly reflect intestinal polyamine levels. In addition, a single sample processing session only yields a single result for polyamine detection, failing to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the gut microbiota's polyamine synthesis function, including both the types and concentrations of polyamines. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention aims to develop a method for detecting the polyamine metabolic activity of gut microbiota and quantifying polyamines in the gut. By detecting polyamine levels in human feces, the method evaluates polyamines in the gut. The detection system provided by this invention simplifies the polyamine processing of test samples, enabling large-scale detection of polyamines in metabolites in a single step. It divides the study of gut microbiota into cellular and culture media, revealing differences in metabolites inside and outside cells. Combining isotope-traced metabolomics with liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, the sample is eluted and traced sequentially. Qualitative and quantitative analytical results of gut microbiota polyamines can be obtained with a single sample processing step.

[0020] Furthermore, the gradient elution conditions for liquid chromatography are as follows:

[0021] Within 0-10 minutes, the gradient of mobile phase B increases from 10% to 90%.

[0022] The gradient of mobile phase B is maintained at 90% for 10-14 minutes;

However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0048] Intestinal microbial culture medium: 303 mg cysteine ​​hydrochloride, 250 mg yeast extract, and 500 mg tryptone were dissolved in a solvent consisting of 120.6 mg potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 157.8 mg potassium hydrogen phosphate, 241.7 mg sodium chloride, 242.8 mg diaminosulfate, 25.1 mg magnesium sulfate, and 25.3 mg calcium dichloride (using 500 mL of deionized water). The pH was adjusted to 6.5 with sodium hydroxide, and then 0.1% / L resazurin was added. The medium was sterilized, and carbon dioxide was bubbled through until it became clear, removing any oxygen.

[0049] Polyamine derivatization reagent: 1.05 g sodium bicarbonate, 1.325 g sodium carbonate, and 0.042 g EDTA were dissolved in 25 mL of ultrapure water, and the pH was adjusted to 10.2 using 5 M sodium hydroxide as a buffer solution. 10.12 mg of Fmoc-Osu (fluorenemethyloxycarbonyl succinimide) was dissolved in 6 mL of acetonitrile as a derivatization reagent.

[0050] Example 1: Fecal sample treatment

[0051] 1. Collection of human fecal samples.

[0053] 2. Isolation and... 13 Incubation of C-inulin.

[0054] Using a syringe, transfer 2 mL of intestinal microbial culture medium to a microcentrifuge tube containing a fecal sample. After crushing the sample with a clean glass rod, transfer it to anaerobic tube 1. Add 700 μL of intestinal microbial culture medium to the microcentrifuge tube for washing, and then transfer the mixture to anaerobic tube 1. Centrifuge anaerobic tube 1 at low speed (600 rpm, 10 min) to remove undigested, larger food particles from the lower precipitate. Using a syringe, transfer the supernatant to anaerobic tube 2 and centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 10 min to collect the intestinal microorganisms.

The lyophilized powder was dissolved in acetonitrile (containing 0.2% formic acid), and the supernatant was collected by centrifugation. The supernatant was derivatized with a derivatizing reagent (twice the volume of the supernatant), and the derivatization reaction was terminated with formic acid (0.4 times the volume of the supernatant). Liquid-liquid extraction was performed with ethyl acetate (10 times the volume of the supernatant). Finally, the ethyl acetate was dried under nitrogen, reconstituted with acetonitrile and water, and then subjected to high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis.

[0059] Acetonitrile (containing 0.2% formic acid) was added to the obtained cell extract to quench it. After a brief homogenization by vortexing, the mixture was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 min, and the supernatant was collected. Derivatization, nitrogen blowing, and analysis were performed in the same manner as described above.

[0060] 3. Stable isotope-traced metabolomics analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

The injection volume was 5 μL.

[0062] 4. Verification using LC-MS / MS

[0063] The liquid chromatography system used was a Shimadzu HPLC system from Japan, including a CBM-20A controller, a Sil-20A autosampler, an LC-20AC binary pump, and a DUG-20A3 degasser. The tandem mass spectrometer was an AB SCIEX4000 QTrap, equipped with an electrospray ionization source. The column oven, CTO-20A, maintained the temperature at 40℃. The chromatographic column used was an Agilent Venusil XBP C18 column (2.1 × 50 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase for liquid chromatography separation was 0.1% formic acid in water (phase A) and pure acetonitrile (phase B). The mobile phase gradient was: 0.5 min, 10% phase B; 1 min, 90% phase B; 3.0 min, 90% phase B; 3.1 min, 10% phase B; 5 min, stop. The flow rate was 0.4 mL / min, and the injected sample volume was 10 μL. Analyst was used for LC-MS / MC collection and analysis.

[0064] Example 3: 13 C-marking results

[0065] The method of the present invention was used to label and evaluate the metabolic activity of intestinal bacteria on polyamines in known pathways. Figure 1 The effects of derivatized Ornithine (ornithine), SPD (spermidine), and PUT (putrescine) on the derivatization were evaluated. 13 C enrichment status ( Figure 2 [Fmoc] represents the functional group that binds to the target compound after the derivatization reaction, and SPD and PUT are abbreviations for Spermidine and Putrescine, respectively. According to the image, ornithine and putrescine... 13 The enrichment patterns of C are quite similar: ornithine is present at M+3, 4, and 5, with a high enrichment level at M+5; putrescine is present at M+2, 3, and 4, with a high enrichment level at M+4, which is consistent with... Figure 1 Ornithine in the sample is a precursor compound of putrescine. Spermine exhibits M+1, 2, 4, 6, and 7, with a high enrichment at M+2, which differs from the enrichment pattern of putrescine. Since putrescine is a precursor compound of spermidine, this does not conform to the criteria. Figure 1 The metabolic pathways in which gut microbiota metabolize polyamines were investigated. Therefore, by using the method of this invention, we evaluated the activity of gut microbiota in polyamine metabolism along known pathways.

[0066] The detection system of this invention was used to evaluate the metabolic activity of gut bacteria on polyamines in a newly discovered pathway. Figure 3 This invention evaluates the derivatized Arginine and Agmatine guanidine. 13 C enrichment status ( Figure 4 According to the image, both arginine and guanidine M+2 are present and 13 The enrichment level of C is relatively high compared to other markers, and it is similar to that of SPD spermidine. 13 The enrichment of C is similar, and guanidine in the F pathway is a precursor compound of putrescine. Therefore, the activity of gut bacteria in polyamine metabolism in the novel pathway was discovered and evaluated using the method of the present invention.

[0067] In the above metabolic pathways Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this study, the activity of other compounds produced by gut microbial metabolism was analyzed using the method of this invention, and the related properties of these other compounds were also analyzed. 13 C isotope enrichment is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. It mainly includes MTA: 5'-methionine; derivatized SPD_Acyl: acetylated spermidine; and derivatized Acetyl Putrescine: acetylated putrescine. Using the method of this invention, the polyamine acetylated products can be detected in human fecal samples, and all of them possess… 13 The C-inulin labeling, wherein MTA has a full labeling range from M+2 to M+8. MTA, polyamines, and polyamine acetylated compounds all have significant effects on tumorigenesis; therefore, the method of this invention for detecting the activity of these metabolites produced by gut microbiota has potential in the treatment of cancer patients.

[0068] Example 4: Quantitative Results

[0069] (1) Standard curve and lower limit of quantitation

[0070] Using the detection system of this invention, a quantitative curve is obtained by analyzing the ratio of the peak area of ​​polyamine standards at different concentrations to that of the internal standard relative to the polyamine. The ratio of polyamine concentration to internal standard concentration is plotted on the x-axis, and the ratio of the polyamine peak area to the internal standard compound peak area is plotted on the y-axis, using a weighted average (W = 1 / X). 2 The least squares regression method was used to obtain the linear equation, which is the standard curve. During method validation, three standard curves were prepared using derivatization reagents. The regression coefficient r of each linear regression equation was greater than 0.9926. The regression coefficient r is shown in the table below. The linearity was good, and the average accuracy was within ±15%. The quantitative lower limit of [Fmoc]2-PUT was 5 ng / mL, and the quantitative lower limit of [Fmoc]2-SPD and [Fmoc]3-SPM was 1 ng / mL. The results are shown below.

[0074] Intra-day precision and accuracy were verified using quality control (QC) samples at four concentration gradients: LLOQ, LQC, MQC, and HQC. The average errors in precision and accuracy were all within 15%, meeting the relevant requirements. Specifically, the QC sample concentrations for [Fmoc]2-PUT were 5, 10, 50, and 400 ng / mL, and the QC sample concentrations for [Fmoc]2-SPD and [Fmoc]3-SPM were 1, 3, 10, and 80 ng / mL, respectively. After treatment with the derivatization reagents of this invention, analysis was performed using LC-MS / MS. Accuracy and precision were calculated based on the corresponding standard curves. The QC samples prepared during the method validation period are shown in the table below.

The results showed that the stability under different conditions met the requirements, as shown in the table below:

The accuracy of [Fmoc]2-PUT was 88.83%, and its precision was 4.59%; the accuracy of [Fmoc]2-SPD was 97.28%, and its precision was 7.81%; and the accuracy of [Fmoc]3-SPM was 99.77%, and its precision was 12.47%. All three methods achieved accuracies within 100 ± 15% and precisions less than 15%, meeting the relevant standards.

[0083] (5) Residual effect

[0084] After analyzing the samples at the upper limit of quantification, blank samples were analyzed. The residues of [Fmoc]2-PUT samples were 19.79% and internal standard residues were 0.26%; the residues of [Fmoc]2-SPD samples were 10.91% and internal standard residues were 0.22%; and the residues of [Fmoc]3-SPM samples were 25.74% and internal standard residues were 0.22%. The residues of internal standards were all below 5%, meeting the relevant requirements, and the residues of analytes were all below 20%, meeting the relevant requirements.

[0085] (6) Selectivity

[0086] The three polyamine derivatized products [Fmoc]2-Put, [Fmoc]2-Spd, and [Fmoc]3-Spm generated using the derivatization reagent of the present invention exhibit good peak shapes and stable signals with the internal standard tolbutamide, with no interference between them. Furthermore, the blank fecal matrix treated with activated carbon does not interfere with the peaks of the products and the internal standard.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
