[PMID: 37110163 PMCID: PMC10144362 DOI: 10.3390/metabo13040504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Lipids are biomolecules involved in numerous (patho-)physiological processes and their elucidation in tissue samples is of particular interest. However, tissue analysis goes hand in hand with many challenges and the influence of pre-analytical factors can intensively change lipid concentrations ex vivo, compromising the results of the whole research project. Here, we study the influence of pre-analytical factors on lipid profiles during the processing of homogenized tissues. Homogenates from four different mice tissues (liver, kidney, heart, spleen) were stored at room temperature as well as in ice water for up to 120 min and analyzed via ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS). Lipid class ratios were calculated since their suitability as indicators for sample stability has been previously illustrated. Only approx. 40% of lipid class ratios were unchanged after 35 min, which was further reduced to 25% after 120 min during storage at room temperature. In contrast, lipids in tissue homogenates were generally stable when samples were kept in ice water, as more than 90% of investigated lipid class ratios remained unchanged after 35 min. Ultimately, swift processing of tissue homogenates under cooled conditions represents a viable option for lipid analysis and pre-analytical factors require more attention to achieve reliable results.

Identification of new Omega-3 very long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids in meibomian gland secretions. Biochimie 2022; 203:3-10. [PMID: 35476941 DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2022.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2022] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Three new very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC PUFA) belonging to the omega-3 family have been identified in meibum samples collected by Schirmer strips. These VLC PUFA, namely FA (32:3), FA (34:3) and FA (36:3), were detected in O-acyl-ω-hydroxy fatty acids using a molecular network approach, and as free fatty acids. Identification was supported by retention time prediction model, exact mass determination and isotopic patterns. Double bond location was determined using cross metathesis reaction associated to tandem mass spectrometry. In meibum, synthesis of these VLC PUFA is likely to be mediated by elongation of very long chain fatty acids 4 enzyme. The biological role of these newly VLC PUFA and their occurrence in other tissues and biological fluids remains to be elucidated.
