ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Lysophosphatidylethanolamines (lyso-PEs) are the partial hydrolysis products of phosphatidylethanolamine. Although lyso-PEs are important biomarkers in various diseases, their determination is limited by the lack of simple and efficient quantification methods. This study aims to develop an improved quantitative method for the determination of lyso-PEs and its application to an epidemiological study.METHODS:
Single reaction monitoring channels by collision-induced dissociation for seven lyso-PEs were established using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Plasma lyso-PEs were extracted with a single-phase method using an isotopically labelled internal standard for quantification. The proposed method was adopted to define lyso-PEs in plasma samples of children aged 9-12 years living in Sapporo, Japan.RESULTS:
The limit of detection and limit of quantification for each lyso-PE ranged between 0.001-0.015 and 0.002-0.031 pmol/µL, respectively. Recoveries were found to be > 91% for all the species. The analysis results of children's plasma showed that the total lyso-PE concentrations in boys (n = 181) and girls (n = 161) were 11.53 and 11.00 pmol/µL (median), respectively. Participants were further classified by the percentage of overweight and subgrouped as underweight (n = 12), normal range (n = 292), or overweight (n = 38). Interestingly, the reduction of lyso-PE 160 and increased lyso-PE 226 were observed in overweight children compared with normal range (Fold change 0.909 and 1.174, respectively).CONCLUSIONS:
This study successfully established a simple quantitative method to determine lyso-PE concentrations. Furthermore, our method revealed the possible relation between plasma lyso-PEs and overweight status.
