Description

Method for measuring content of volatile N-nitrosamine compound in plasma by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of analytical chemistry, in particular to a method for determining the content of volatile N-nitrosamine compounds in blood plasma.
Background
Nitrosamine compounds (NAs) are a group of organic compounds having the basic structure R1(R2) N-N ═ O, formed by the reaction of an amine or its derivative with a nitrating agent such as nitrous acid, nitrite or nitrogen oxide. Can be absorbed into human body through respiratory tract, digestive tract and skin surface. Volatile nitrosamines (VANs) are more toxic than non-volatile nitrosamines (NVANs). The volatile nitrosamines mainly comprise: N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), N-Nitrosomethylethylamine (NMEA), N-Nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), N-nitrosodipropylamine (N-nisodimethyl ethyl amine, NMEA), N-nitrosodibutylamine (N-nisodiethyl amine, NDEA), N-nitrosodipropylamine (N-nisodi-N-propylamine, NDPA), N-nitrosodibutylamine (N-nisodibutylamine, NDBA), N-nitrosopiperidinane (N-nisodiperidine, NPIP), N-nitrosopyrrolidine (N-nisoproxiline, NPYR), N-nitrosomorpholine (N-nisodipropylamine, NMOR), N-nitrosodiphenylamine (N-nisodiphenylamine, nda). Etc. (the structure is as follows). According to the classification of International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), NDPA, NDBA, NPIP, NPYR, NMOR are 2B carcinogens, NDMA, NDEA are 2A carcinogens, and other N-nitrosamine compounds are not known to be carcinogenic to humans.
Figure BDA0002242735580000011
Exposure of the human body to N-nitrosamine compounds occurs primarily through two pathways: (1) the N-nitrosamine compound is taken, inhaled and contacted by factors such as diet, drinking water, air and the like; (2) endogenous N-nitrosamine compounds formed in the human stomach. N-nitrosamine compounds are widely present in the environment, and are contained in particular in the exhaust gases directly emitted by the production of polymers in plants and in the atmospheric particulates generated by the combustion of plastic materials. Drinking water can produce disinfection by-products containing N-nitrosamine compounds during disinfection, and organic nitrogen precursors containing chloramines can react to form NDMA, NDEA, NMOR, NPYR, NPIP, and NDPhA during drinking water disinfection. Certain processed foods also contain N-nitrosamine compounds, such as nitrosamine compounds produced by the reaction of amines with nitrites during smoking or pickling of fish and bacon; the smoke generated in the combustion process of tobacco contains three volatile N-nitrosamine compounds (14) of NDMA, NMEA and NPYR, and the smokeless tobacco product also contains N-nitrosamine compounds. Some daily necessities such as hair dyes also contain N-nitrosamine compounds.
Most of N-nitrosamine compounds are considered carcinogenic precursors, and the carbon chain beside the N-nitroso group is hydroxylated to form a carcinogenic derivative α -hydroxy-N-nitrosamine, α -hydroxy-N-nitrosamine has a relatively short half-life, is decomposed into an electrophilic intermediate, reacts with DNA, and causes DNA damage, thereby influencing telomere length, and telomere abnormality is an important characteristic of tumorigenesis.
The current determination of the content of N-nitrosamine compounds is limited to certain foods, such as salted fish and bacon. As for the studies on the content of N-nitrosamine compounds in human body, only the content of N-nitrosamine compounds in gastric juice has been studied, it has been found that the concentration of N-nitrosamine compounds in gastric juice of patients with gastritis is generally lower than that of patients with gastric ulcer and gastric cancer, the highest concentration of N-nitrosamine compounds in gastric juice of patients with gastric cancer is 1.90ng/mL, and the lowest concentration of N-nitrosamine compounds in gastric juice of patients with gastritis is 0.063 ng/mL. In addition, it has been shown that dietary intake of N-nitrosamine compounds is associated with increased risk of gastric and esophageal cancer. The N-nitrosamine compound can be continuously accumulated in the body to cause chronic injury after being contacted and ingested by common people for a long time in a low dose, and the determination of the content of the N-nitrosamine compound in human plasma is very necessary. Therefore, it is very important to establish a rapid and reliable detection method for determining the content of the N-nitrosamine compound in human plasma.
The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has the advantages of strong identification capability, high analysis speed, high sensitivity and the like, and plays an important role in biological sample analysis. However, no relevant report is found about a method for simultaneously detecting 9N-nitrosamine compounds in a human body by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Accurately transferring an internal standard solution [ N-nitrosodi-N-propyl-d ] 14-amine(NDPA-D14)](NDPA-D14)](1000mg/L) in a 10mL volumetric flask, an internal standard solution with a concentration of 500ng/mL was prepared by dilution with dichloromethane. And then taking 6 parts of 0.4mL fetal calf serum, respectively adding 200 mu L of dichloromethane, 20 mu L of NDPA-D14 internal standard solution with the concentration of 500ng/mL and 20 mu L of 9N-nitrosamine series mixed standard solutions, vortexing for 1min, ultrasonically extracting for 10min after uniformly mixing, centrifuging for 10min at 13000r/min at the temperature of 4 ℃, taking 150 mu L of lower-layer liquid for sample injection, and obtaining 9N-nitrosamine compounds with the concentration of 2, 5, 10, 50, 100,500ng/mL on a computer.
1.4 pretreatment of the samples
Sample preparation: 5mL of blood sample is collected and immediately centrifuged for 3min at 3000r/min at 4 ℃, and plasma is separated and stored in a refrigerator at-80 ℃ to be tested.
The sample processing method comprises the following steps: the plasma samples stored in the-80 ℃ refrigerator were removed, placed in the 4 ℃ refrigerator for thawing for 15min, and then the sample plasma was allowed to return to room temperature.

2.1 optimization of the chromatography column
The application investigates the influence of chromatographic columns with different polarities (a nonpolar column DB-5MS (30m x 0.25.25 mm x 0.25um) and a strong polar column DB-WAX (30m x 0.25.25 mm x 0.25 um)) on the separation of 9N-nitrosamine compounds to be detected. The results show that: when a non-polar column is selected, the 9N-nitrosamine compounds to be detected cannot all peak; when the strong polarity column DB-WAX is selected, the obtained chromatographic peak has symmetrical peak shape, good separation effect, accurate quantification and good reproducibility. Therefore, the strong polarity column DB-WAX is selected as the chromatographic column in the experiment.
2.2 optimization of the temperature rise Rate of the chromatographic column
Because the peak-off times of NDBA, NPIP, NPYR and NMOR are relatively close, the temperature-rise rate of the first-stage column needs to be optimized to obtain the optimal separation effect. The initial column temperature of the chromatographic column was selected to be 50 deg.C, and the separation effects at temperature rise rates of 15 deg.C, 12 deg.C, and 5 deg.C/min were compared, respectively. The result shows that when the temperature rising rate is 12 ℃/min, the separation degree R is more than or equal to 1.5, and the effective separation can be realized. When the temperature rise rate is 5 ℃/min, the resolution is not obviously changed, so that the temperature rise rate of 12 ℃/min is selected as the temperature rise rate of the first section of the column. Because NDPhA peak-off time is latest and has a long time interval with NMOR peak-off time, the temperature-rising rate of the second section of the column is optimized, so that the peak pattern is better, the separation effects when the temperature-rising rates are 40, 10, 5 and 2 ℃/min are respectively compared, and the result shows that when the temperature-rising rate is 2 ℃/min, effective separation can be realized, and the peak pattern is the best. Therefore, the final optimized temperature-raising program is: maintaining the initial temperature of the column at 50 deg.C for 4 min; heating to 90 deg.C at 20 deg.C/min; then heating to 180 ℃ at the speed of 8 ℃/min; then heating to 200 ℃ at a speed of 15 ℃/min; then raising the temperature to 230 ℃ at the speed of 2 ℃/min, and keeping the temperature for 2 min; sample inlet temperature: at 250 ℃ to obtain a mixture.

2.3.1 optimization of sample extraction method
Adding 9 kinds of N-nitrosamine compound series mixed standard solutions into a plasma sample, respectively selecting an ultrasonic oscillation extraction method and a nitrogen-blowing concentration re-dissolution method to pretreat the sample, and testing on a machine after extraction, wherein experimental results show that: the N-nitrosamine compound is lost more in the nitrogen blowing process, and the ultrasonic oscillation extraction method is more complete in the extraction of the target substance and easier to operate. Therefore, the ultrasonic oscillation extraction method is selected as the sample extraction method.
2.3.2 optimization of sample extraction reagents
Adding 9N-nitrosamine compound series mixed standard solutions into a plasma sample, and extracting the plasma sample with a plurality of solvents including formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile, acetone, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane and N-hexane, wherein the experimental result shows that: the dichloromethane has the highest extraction efficiency on 9 target N-nitrosamine compounds and has a better protein precipitation effect, and the recovery rate result is shown in 2.5.1. None of the other solvents extracted all 9 of the target substances. Thus, the present invention selects dichloromethane as the sample extraction reagent.
2.4 Standard Curve and sensitivity
And measuring the prepared 9N-nitrosamine compound series mixed standard solutions. The peak area (y) of the target quantitative ion was subjected to linear regression on its concentration (x, ng/mL) to obtain the linear relationship of 9N-nitrosamine compounds shown in Table 2. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated as 3-fold signal-to-noise ratio and the lower limit of quantitation (LOQ) was calculated as 10-fold signal-to-noise ratio. As can be seen from Table 2, the method has a wide linear range and a correlation coefficient R 2>0.9995; the sensitivity is high, the LOD range is 0.01-2.14ng/mL, and the LOQ range is 0.02-7.14 ng/mL.
