Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lipid oxidation metabolism detection technology, and in particular to a method and system for analyzing lipid oxidation metabolism characteristics based on REIMS and LC-MS / MS. Background Technology
[0002] Lipid oxidation is a ubiquitous metabolic process in living organisms. Oxidized lipids, as products of lipid oxidation, participate in various physiological and pathological processes, such as inflammatory responses, cardiovascular diseases, and tumor development. Therefore, oxidized lipids are considered potential biomarkers, and their accurate detection is of great significance for early disease diagnosis, disease monitoring, and drug development.
[0003] However, the detection of oxidized lipids faces many challenges:
[0004] First, there are many types of oxidized lipids. The oxidation products of unsaturated fatty acids alone include hundreds of types such as hydroxy fatty acids, epoxy fatty acids, ketone fatty acids, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes.
[0005] Secondly, the content of oxidized lipids in biological samples is extremely low, mostly in trace amounts (ng / mL or even pg / mL), and is easily affected by matrix interference.
[0006] Third, lipid oxidative metabolism fluctuates greatly, and the content varies significantly under different physiological and pathological conditions, which places extremely high demands on the sensitivity and accuracy of detection methods.
[0007] Existing methods for detecting oxidized lipids mainly include gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS).
[0008] GC-MS requires derivatization of oxidized lipids, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, the derivatization process may alter the structure of oxidized lipids, affecting the accuracy of detection.
[0009] Although traditional LC-MS / MS does not require derivatization, it is limited by the sensitivity and resolution of the mass spectrometer, making it difficult to accurately quantify trace amounts of oxidized lipids in biological samples.
[0010] Rapid evaporation ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) is a novel in-situ mass spectrometry technique with the advantages of rapid ionization and no need for complex pretreatment. However, when used alone, its qualitative accuracy is insufficient and it is easily affected by matrix interference, leading to false positive results.
[0011] Therefore, developing an analytical method that combines high sensitivity, high accuracy, and high stability to accurately characterize and quantify trace oxidized lipids in biological samples has become a pressing technical problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0012] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for analyzing lipid oxidation metabolism characteristics based on REIMS and LC-MS / MS.
