Description

Catecholamine and metabolite liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry detection method based on magnetic solid phase extraction
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of clinical mass spectrometry in-vitro diagnostic reagents, in particular to a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry detection method of catecholamine and metabolites thereof based on magnetic solid phase extraction.
Background
Catecholamines are synthesized and secreted by adrenal medulla, sympathetic nerves, paraganglionic chromaffins, which are both hormones and neurotransmitters. Catecholamines mainly include Dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E), and catecholamine oxymetransferases convert DA, E and NE into methoxytyramine (3-MT), epinephrine (MN) and norepinephrine (NMN), respectively. Catecholamines are endogenous substances with strong physiological effects in living beings and play an important role in brain and nerve signaling. Catecholamine levels in organisms are closely related to a variety of physiological and pathological phenomena. Catecholamine substances have wide regulating effects on physiological activities of the cardiovascular system, nervous system, endocrine system, kidney, respiratory system and the like of human bodies. For example, epinephrine acts on both cardiovascular and catabolic hormones, dopamine being a specific drug for the treatment of parkinson's disease, and can cross the blood brain barrier to decarboxylate neurotransmitters; norepinephrine is a sympathomimetic agent and has the effects of constricting blood vessels and increasing blood pressure. In addition, catecholamines are also associated with the occurrence of several functional disorders such as schizophrenia, depression and organic lesions. By detecting catecholamine and the metabolite level thereof in biological samples, the method has important clinical significance for diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, neuroblastoma, hypertension, myocardial infarction, adrenal medullary hyperplasia and the like, and is beneficial to diagnosis of diseases such as thyroid dysfunction, congestive heart failure, diabetes, renal insufficiency and the like. In conclusion, the information of catecholamine and the concentration level of the metabolites thereof in organisms is of great significance in neurophysiologic research and diagnosis and prognosis of diseases related to abnormal transmitter metabolism. According to the expert consensus 2020 edition for diagnosis and treatment of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma, it is proposed to measure the concentration of free plasma or methoxyepinephrine in urine, and to detect the concentration of NE, DA, E and their metabolites in blood or urine simultaneously to help diagnose pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.
The catecholamine and its metabolite content in plasma is extremely low, reaching pg grade, in the quantitative detection method, the most commonly used is high performance liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection combined method, but the instrument detection sensitivity is low, and the clinical detection requirement cannot be met. In addition, the combined high performance liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection method requires a large amount of plasma sample, and a long time for sample pretreatment, so that chromatographic separation often takes a long time to achieve the required detection sensitivity of the target analyte, and co-eluted interfering components have a great influence on the accuracy of the results. The immune-based detection method can detect the content of phenylephrine in blood plasma, the detection accuracy is low due to cross reaction and nonspecific combination, and the results of different immune tests may not be uniform. Because many analysis methods cannot meet the requirements of quantitative analysis of catecholamine and metabolites thereof in plasma in the aspects of sensitivity, selectivity, analysis speed and the like, the further popularization and development of the analysis methods in clinical detection are limited.
The chromatography-mass spectrometry combined technology which takes chromatography as a separation means and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry as a detection means becomes a powerful means for quantitatively detecting trace target analytes in biological samples, so that the method is used for quantitatively detecting catecholamines and metabolites thereof in plasma. Patent CN109142594a reports a method for detecting catecholamine and phenylephrine in a body fluid sample by using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, which needs to perform protein precipitation on the sample, remove supernatant, blow-dry the supernatant by using N 2, add PITC to perform derivatization reaction, blow-dry the derivatization product by using N 2, add a complex solvent to obtain a sample to be detected, and perform detection derivatization by using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, thus having complex pretreatment, long time consumption and low detection efficiency. Patent CN111896643a discloses a method for detecting catecholamine in human plasma by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, wherein plasma samples are pretreated by ion exchange solid phase extraction, and the chromatographic column adopts reversed phase pentafluorophenyl (F5) chromatographic column, which is reversed phase action mechanism chromatographic column. According to the method, a large amount of manual participation is needed for sample pretreatment, the experimental efficiency is greatly reduced, meanwhile, because catecholamine and metabolites thereof are strong polar compounds, the retention capacity on the F5 column is very weak, in the experiment, the chromatographic column needs to retain the target object under a high-proportion water phase, the ionization efficiency of mass spectrum is reduced by the high-proportion water phase, and simultaneously, a large amount of endogenous interference components which are weak to retain flow out together, so that matrix interference is caused to the quantification of the target object. Solid phase extraction 96-well plates used in ion exchange solid phase extraction methods commonly used for detecting catecholamines and metabolites thereof are high-cost experimental consumables, swelling phenomenon can be generated after solid phase extraction filler contacts with an organic reagent in experiments, and the flow rate of a solution passing through the solid phase extraction filler can be influenced, so that the problem of poor uniformity among the wells is generated.
Therefore, there is a need to provide a more reliable solution.
