Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the fields of biotechnology and analytical chemistry, in particular to a method for determining the concentration of endogenous substances including coenzyme Q10 based on a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology.
Background
Liquid mass spectrometry is widely used in quantitative detection of drugs and their metabolites in biological samples, and the conventional detection objects are usually exogenous substances and do not exist in biological matrixes. Researchers add a target substance to be measured into a blank matrix to prepare a quantitative standard curve sample and a quality control sample simulation actual sample, and measure the concentration of a compound in a biological sample through a standard curve. However, when analyzing endogenous substances in a biological sample, it is difficult to find a blank matrix corresponding to the biological sample, and without the blank matrix, the actual sample cannot be simulated, so that various risks cannot be avoided, and the detection result may be unreliable. For clinical biological sample analysis, the medicine is safe for administration. The accurate quantification of endogenous substances is a century-old problem.
Coenzyme Q10 is an endogenous fat-soluble quinone compound, and widely exists in human bodies and some mammals. The coenzyme Q10 has multiple effects of resisting oxidation, eliminating free radicals, improving human immunity, resisting aging, relieving fatigue, protecting cardiovascular and the like. The compound has been widely used as an additive in cosmetics and foods in recent years, and has been researched and found to have the effects of resisting Parkinson, treating infantile myocarditis, controlling recurrent oral ulcer, improving heart failure, relieving chest distress and the like in the field of clinical treatment. However, coenzyme Q10 belongs to a lipid-soluble endogenous compound, the blank matrix is more difficult to obtain and interfere with endogenous or other sources, and the detection of the biological sample has unique technical difficulties.
The quantitative analysis of biological samples of endogenous compounds currently mainly comprises four strategies, namely a standard addition method, a background subtraction method, a substitute matrix (simplified matrix, artificial matrix or purified matrix) method and a substitute analyte method. The standard addition method requires a single standard curve for each test sample, and is suitable for analysis of only large volume of small sample that can be collected, due to the large amount of sample used. The background subtraction method is to obtain the ratio (R) of peak response values in the blank matrix blk ) The peak response ratio obtained by sample analysis is R, the background in the blank matrix is deducted, and the adjusted peak response value R' = R-R is used blk The standard curve was linearly regressed with the adjusted peak response ratio R' as the Y value and the concentration of the added standard curve sample as X. Since the adjusted Y value is used for regression, the background subtraction method requires additional data processing software to perform linear regression and sample data processing, and the regression equation is fitted after background subtraction is performed by using excel software or sps statistical analysis software, so that the sample concentration cannot be directly obtained from instrument software, the statistical analysis software performs additional calculation, and the data processing and analysis method is very complex. In the research of UPLC-MS/MS quantitative analysis method of coenzyme Q10, the inventors used light-irradiated coenzyme Q10 and 4% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as substitute matrices, respectively, and found that the substitute matrix of light-irradiated coenzyme Q10 had a fluctuation in response of internal standard in the analysis of actual test samples, and that the internal standard had a different effect on the light-irradiated coenzyme Q10 substitute matrix from that of the test samples, whereas the liquid-liquid extraction method using 4 BSA as substitute matrix resulted in too low extraction recovery, requiring several extractions and concentrations to improve the recovery, the processing method was complicated, and when 4 BSA was used as substitute matrix in the protein precipitation treatment, the extraction method was complicated from the actual sampleThere is a phenomenon that the extraction recovery rate is not uniform. Alternative analyte methods, which introduce compounds not present in the body, need to demonstrate a constant ratio to endogenous substances, and also demonstrate similar matrix effects and recovery rates of the alternative to the analyte, which in practice is more complex and more expensive than other methods.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a liquid-phase mass spectrometry detection method for endogenous substances (coenzyme Q10) in biological samples, which has the advantages of small matrix effect influence, small interference, small sampling amount, high sensitivity, reliability and low cost, and provides a basis for pharmacokinetic research of the coenzyme Q10 and even all endogenous compounds.

The invention aims to solve the problems in the prior art and provides a method for determining the concentration of endogenous substances including coenzyme Q10 in a biological sample based on a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology.
In order to realize the purpose, the invention adopts the technical scheme that:
a method for determining the concentration of endogenous substances in a biological sample based on a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technology comprises a quantitative analysis step, wherein an endogenous reference substance is added into a real substrate containing the endogenous substances to prepare a calibration standard sample, the concentration X1 of the endogenous reference substance in the added calibration standard sample is used as a horizontal coordinate, the chromatographic peak area ratio Y1 of an analyte to an internal standard is used as a vertical coordinate, and the concentration X1 of the endogenous reference substance added into the calibration standard sample and the peak area ratio Y1 are subjected to linear regression by using a weighted least square method to obtain a regression equation Y1= a + bX1, so that the equation obtains the background value of the real substrate used for preparing a calibration standard sample curve as c = -a/b |; and then using the total concentration X2 of endogenous substances in the calibration standard sample as a horizontal coordinate, wherein the total concentration of the endogenous substances = the background value of a real matrix for preparing a calibration standard sample curve + the concentration of an added endogenous reference substance, the chromatographic peak area ratio Y2 of an analyte to an internal standard is a vertical coordinate, performing linear regression by using a weighted least square method according to the total concentration X2 of the endogenous substances in the calibration standard sample and the chromatographic peak area ratio Y2, and obtaining a regression equation Y2= A + BX2, namely a standard curve, thereby calculating the concentration of the endogenous substances in the biological sample to be detected.
Further, the theoretical concentration value of the quality control sample is the sum of the background concentration of the real matrix for preparing the quality control sample and the concentration of the endogenous reference substance added into the quality control sample, so as to calculate the accuracy of the quality control sample.
According to the method, the normal matrix is added with the endogenous reference substance to prepare the correction standard sample, the background of the endogenous substance in the normal matrix in the prepared correction standard sample is calculated firstly, then the background and the concentration of the added endogenous reference substance are used for carrying out back calculation to obtain a standard curve, and the concentration of the endogenous substance in the sample to be detected is calculated and obtained by the standard curve. The method can be used for quantitative detection and analysis of various endogenous compounds in a biological sample, effectively eliminates matrix effect, has no interference, has small sampling amount and high accuracy, does not need additional data software for regression, directly samples on an instrument, can directly obtain a sample concentration result on the instrument software, does not need additional data processing software for processing, and is simple and easy to operate.
The invention also specifically discloses a method for determining the concentration of coenzyme Q10 in blood plasma based on the LC-MS technology, which comprises the following steps: respectively mixing the working solutions of the series coenzyme Q10 standard curves with blank plasma to obtain a calibration standard sample, and injecting the calibration standard sample into UPLC-MS/MS for analysis after pretreatment; adding an internal standard working solution into the plasma to be detected, pretreating, and injecting into UPLC-MS/MS for analysis; firstly, taking the concentration X1 of coenzyme Q10 added into a calibration standard sample as an abscissa, taking the chromatographic peak area ratio Y1 of the coenzyme Q10 and an internal standard as an ordinate, and carrying out linear regression on the concentration X1 of the coenzyme Q10 added into the calibration standard sample and the peak area ratio Y1 by using a weighted least square method to obtain a regression equation Y1= a + bX1, wherein the equation obtains a background value of blank plasma for preparing the calibration standard sample as c = -a/b |; and then, taking the total concentration of the coenzyme Q10 in the corrected standard sample as a horizontal coordinate, taking the total concentration of the coenzyme Q10 = the background value of blank plasma for preparing the corrected standard sample + the concentration of the added coenzyme Q10, taking a chromatographic peak area ratio Y2 of an analyte and an internal standard as a vertical coordinate, performing linear regression by using a weighted least square method and the total concentration X2 and the peak area ratio Y2 of the coenzyme Q10 in the corrected standard sample, and obtaining a regression equation Y2= A + BX2, namely a standard curve, and calculating the concentration of the coenzyme Q10 in the plasma to be detected by using the standard curve.
Compared with the alternative analyte method, the method does not need to search for the alternative analyte which does not exist in the organism but is proved to have a constant proportional relation with the endogenous substance, does not need a complex verification process, does not need lower cost, can adopt the real matrix consistent with the biological sample, and can effectively eliminate the difference of matrix effect and recovery rate. Compared with the alternative matrix method, the coenzyme Q10 of the analyte is unstable due to light, the alternative matrix obtained by removing the coenzyme Q10 in the real matrix through light irradiation is used, and due to the difference of the matrixes, the problem that the internal standard fluctuates when the sample is processed after the sample is compared with the matrix analysis of an actual biological sample, so that the matrix effect and the extraction recovery rate are different exists, and the coenzyme Q10 is not suitable for the analysis of the coenzyme Q10 after the coenzyme Q10 is removed through light irradiation. Also, 4-percent BSA was used as a substitute matrix, which also resulted in a low extraction yield. Compared with the standard addition method, the biological analysis amount is only 100 microliter or less in the actual experiment due to the limitation of the sample amount (sample volume and sample number), and is generally not as large as the sample amount, so the standard addition method is not suitable for the analysis of trace large amount samples. Compared with the background deduction method, the method and the background deduction method both adopt real matrixes, but the background deduction method needs additional data processing software to perform linear regression and sample data processing, after background deduction is performed by using excel software or statistical analysis software such as a sps, a regression equation is fitted, the sample concentration cannot be directly obtained from instrument software, the statistical analysis software calculates additionally, and the data processing and analysis method is extremely complex. And further mixing the series of quality control working solutions with blank plasma to obtain a quality control sample, pretreating, and injecting into UPLC-MS/MS for analysis, wherein the theoretical concentration value of the coenzyme Q10 in the quality control sample is the sum of the background concentration of the blank plasma for preparing the quality control sample and the concentration of the coenzyme Q10 added in the quality control sample.

The formula for calculating the matrix factor is as follows:
the internal standard normalized matrix factor is calculated as follows:
and calculating the normalized matrix factor, wherein the closer the value is to 1, the closer the matrix effect of the internal standard and the analyte is, the matrix effect which may occur to the analyte in any sample can be compensated, and the matrix effect does not influence the final accurate quantitative analysis.

The detailed results are shown in table 2, and the average recovery rate of each concentration quality control sample has no concentration-related trend. The results show that the recovery of analyte and internal standard does not affect the accuracy of the quantitative analysis.
Matrix effect: the calculated matrix factor means/Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) of the low, medium and high concentration analytes for 6 different sources of matrix normalized by the internal standard were 0.997/1.3%, 0.995/0.8% and 0.996/0.01%, respectively. Detailed results are shown in table 2, relative standard deviations of internal standard normalized matrix factors in 6 matrices from different sources do not exceed 15%, indicating that matrix effects do not affect the quantitative analysis of analytes.

The method of the invention overcomes the following technical difficulties: (1) coenzyme Q10 is an endogenous compound with high fat solubility, because the acquisition of a blank matrix is difficult to interfere with endogenous or other sources, the actual sample cannot be simulated without the blank matrix, and various risks (such as different recovery rates, matrix effect and the like) can cause unreliable detection results. The four common methods for detecting endogenous compounds have respective defects, and the invention adopts a unique method to better overcome the defects of the four conventional methods for detecting endogenous compounds and solve the problem of the quantification of endogenous substances. (2) The concentration of coenzyme Q10 in blood plasma is generally lower, the requirement on the sensitivity of a high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method is higher, the lower limit of the quantification of the method is 80ng/mL, and the clinical treatment of the coenzyme Q10 is assisted. (2) The invention adopts isopropanol to dissolve and methanol to dilute to prepare working solution, and adopts isopropanol: the ethyl acetate is used as a pretreatment mode of a plasma sample, so that the complexity of the quantitative determination of a clinically unknown sample is obviously reduced, the quantitative analysis of a high-throughput biological sample can be realized, and the possible system errors are also reduced to the maximum extent.
