Description

Method for detecting pollen sex hormone
Technical Field
The invention relates to a detection method of pollen sex hormone, belonging to the fields of analytical chemistry and food safety.
Background
Sex hormones in living bodies exist in two forms, namely a free form and a bound form, and the bound sex hormone is mainly two, namely, glucuronic acid and sulfuric acid conjugate conjugates, and an enzymatic hydrolysis method and a chemical hydrolysis method are generally adopted for the release of the bound sex hormone. In view of the possible presence of sex hormones in free and/or bound form in pollen, extraction methods are critical in order to ensure the accuracy of their sex hormone detection.
The pollen neutral hormone content is extremely low, the matrix is complex, and the interference factors are large, so that the pollen sex hormone is difficult to measure, and therefore, the adoption of a proper impurity removal mode is very important for reducing the matrix effect of a sample and improving the sensitivity of a target object.
The sex hormone detection method comprises the following steps: immunoassay, high Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). False positive results are easy to occur in an immunoassay method, and the detected hormone is limited; the ultraviolet detector of the HPLC is limited by sensitivity and accuracy, and is gradually replaced by a mass spectrum detector; GC-MS/MS requires that the analyte have a certain thermal stability and volatility, and that no derivatizing agent has been available to better derivatize all sex hormones; LC-MS/MS does not need to be derived, has high sensitivity, and can realize high-flux rapid detection.
In summary, it is necessary to optimize the method for detecting pollen sex hormone from aspects of sample extraction, purification, detection, etc., in order to improve accuracy and sensitivity of pollen sex hormone detection.

In view of the possible presence of free and/or bound sex hormones in plant foods such as pollen, extraction methods are critical in order to ensure the accuracy of the detection. The invention adopts acetonitrile extraction, enzyme hydrolysis-acetonitrile extraction and alkali hydrolysis-acetonitrile extraction to examine the influence of the acetonitrile extraction on the pollen sex hormone content (method one to method eight), the result is shown in the table 1, and 'Paeonia ostii' pollen in 8 sex hormones only detects progesterone, and the alkaline hydrolysis method does not detect progesterone aiming at progesterone, thus being not applicable to pollen sex hormone extraction. Although the enzymatic hydrolysis method detects a progesterone content 26 times that of acetonitrile extraction, it is not possible to exist in the bound form due to the lack of hydroxyl groups in the progesterone structure, and there is no literature report on the bound form of progesterone, so that it is not possible to convert the bound progesterone into free progesterone by enzymatic hydrolysis. For this document (Li Xin-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry) there is a relevant explanation in the detection of 26 steroid hormone content in poultry products [ J ]. Chinese feed, 2015 (13): 29-37), which enzyme also has steroid hormone reductase activity, possibly reducing pregnenolone to progesterone, resulting in a rapid increase in progesterone content after enzymatic hydrolysis of pollen samples. Therefore, for the detection of pollen sex hormone, an enzyme hydrolysis method is not suitable, and the direct acetonitrile extraction is more reasonable.

2. Optimization of the purification method
Because the content of pollen neutral hormone is extremely low, the matrix is complex, and the interference factors are large, the impurity removal is very important, and the method comprises the steps of removing fat-soluble impurities, preventing a solid phase extraction column from being blocked in the subsequent column passing process, removing water-soluble impurities, reducing the matrix effect of a sample and improving the sensitivity of a target object. Therefore, the invention respectively examines the influence of methods such as normal hexane degreasing, ethyl acetate water washing, solid phase extraction and the like on sample purification. As shown in Table 1, the comparison of method two and method three shows that when no n-hexane is added for extraction, a large amount of insoluble precipitate is generated through the solid phase extraction column, so that the extraction column is blocked and the components are lost, and the step of degreasing the n-hexane is necessary for pollen samples. The comparison of the method III and the method IV shows that the solid phase extraction (the method III) has a slightly better impurity removing effect than the ethyl acetate water washing (the method IV) after degreasing, but the impurities cannot be removed completely by adopting one mode, and the method can be seen through the fixed-volume reagent amount, so that the two methods are needed to be adopted for removing the water-soluble impurities simultaneously. The influence of two different water washing methods on the impurity removal effect is examined, and the result shows that the organic reagent loss rate of the ethyl acetate water washing (method one) is lower than that of the acetonitrile water washing (method five), and the measured progesterone content is higher, so that the ethyl acetate water washing is selected. Although the enzymolysis method (method six and method seven) is not suitable for detecting pollen sex hormone, the step of washing the pollen enzymolysis sample with organic reagent is also necessary, otherwise, insoluble impurities are more when the pollen enzymolysis sample passes through the extraction column, and the extraction column is blocked. The method one is the most suitable method for pollen sex hormone detection in terms of comprehensive sample purification efficiency and progesterone content.
3. Selection of internal standards
Because the matrix of pollen is complex, the matrix effect is a problem frequently encountered in detecting trace components by a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method, and the result of the test is not accurate enough. In order to avoid matrix interference, sample purification is an important means, and isotope internal standards are also effective measures to reduce matrix effects. In consideration of the similarity of the structures of the internal standard and the target, the invention uses the estradiol-D 4 progesterone-D as an internal estrogen standard 9 As an internal standard of androgens and progestogens, the accuracy and precision of the method are improved.
4. Optimization of constant volume reagent and constant volume
Because the content of hormone components in the sample is very low, in order to improve the detection concentration of target components, the sample solubility of the acetonitrile-extracted sample (method one to five) is higher when the constant volume reagent is acetonitrile, the sample solubility of the enzymolysis sample (method six and seven) is higher when the constant volume reagent is 50% acetonitrile aqueous solution, and finally the constant volume reagent amount is adjusted to enable the sample to be completely dissolved, so that the target components are easier to detect. The fixed capacity of the 8 methods is shown in Table 1.
5. Optimization of chromatographic conditions
The composition of the mobile phase influences the peak shape and ionization efficiency of the compound, and experiments show that the signal response of each hormone by taking acetonitrile as the mobile phase is superior to that of methanol, so that a water-acetonitrile system is selected as the mobile phase. The effect of 4 sets of mobile phase systems (0.1% formic acid water-acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid water 20mmol/L ammonium acetate water-acetonitrile, 0.2% ammonia water 20mmol/L ammonium acetate water-acetonitrile and 0.2% ammonia water-acetonitrile) on target response and separation effect was compared. The results show that the acidic mobile phase can enhance the ionization efficiency of the positive ion mode test object (androgen and progestogen) compared with the alkaline mobile phase, so that the response value is improved by 2-3 times, but the acidic mobile phase can inhibit the generation of negative ions, so that the response value of estrogen is reduced, and the estrogen does not show peaks. The alkaline mobile phase can enhance the ionization efficiency of the negative ion mode object to be detected (estrogen), even if the response values of the androgen and the progestogen are reduced, the detection requirement can be met, and the object to be detected shows peaks, so the alkaline mobile phase is selected. Compared with 20mmol/L ammonium acetate water-acetonitrile of 0.2% ammonia water, the response value of 0.2% ammonia water-acetonitrile to estrogen is higher, so that the mobile phase system of 0.2% ammonia water-acetonitrile is selected comprehensively. Optimizing gradient elution program to obtain optimal separation effect for each target. The MRM chromatograms of 8 sex hormones and 2 internal standards are shown in figure 1.
6. Optimization of mass spectrometry conditions
And under the condition of mobile connection, the experiment respectively adopts a positive ion mode and a negative ion mode to comprehensively scan the target object, and finally determines that the estrogen adopts a negative ion mode and the androgen and the progestogen adopt a positive ion mode. And (3) determining characteristic parent ions and child ions according to the characteristics of the parent ions and the two groups of fragment ions with highest response, and optimizing mass spectrum parameters such as taper hole voltage, collision energy, ion source temperature, desolvation gas temperature, flow, collision gas flow and the like, so that the ionization efficiency of each hormone in the sample liquid is optimal. The mass spectral parameters are shown in table 2.

Note that: "" is a quantitative ion.
2. Linear range, detection limit and quantification limit
In consideration of different ionization modes, the response intensity of sex hormone is different, so that the estrogen (alpha-estradiol, beta-estradiol, estrone) in negative ion mode is treated by estradiol-D 4 To correct internal standard, androgens (testosterone, androstenedione, epididylesterol, androsterone) and progestins (progesterone) in positive ion mode are used as progesterone-D 9 To correct the internal standard. And drawing an internal standard curve by taking the concentration of the standard substance as an abscissa and the ratio of the peak area to the internal standard peak area as an ordinate. The results show that the 8 sex hormones all show good linear relationship in the concentration range, and the correlation coefficient (r 2 ) 0.9934 to 0.9998. The concentration of sex hormones corresponding to a signal to noise ratio (S/N) of 3 times is a detection Limit (LOD), the concentration of sex hormones corresponding to a signal to noise ratio (S/N) of 10 times is a quantitative Limit (LOQ), the detection limit of 8 sex hormones is 0.005-86.541 ng/mL, the quantitative limit is 0.017-288.461 ng/mL, and the results are shown in Table 3.
