Description

Method for detecting content of plant sterol substances in blood based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry technology
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of plant sterol detection, in particular to a method for detecting the content of plant sterols in blood based on a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry technology.
Background
Sterols are important components of animal and plant cell membranes, including cholesterol and plant sterols, which are structurally similar. Cholesterol is known to be of great importance in the diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases, while the strong association of plant sterols with cardiovascular disease is poorly understood.
Plant sterols, which may also be referred to as phytosterols, mainly include sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, cholestanol, dehydrocholesterol, 7-enecholestanol. In 1974, it was first reported that a pair of twin sisters contain high concentrations of sitosterol and campesterol in blood, which cause early onset of atherosclerosis, joint xanthoma and the like, and this disease is caused by mutation of ABCG5 and/or ABCG8 genes, which cause resistance of flowback after absorption of plant sterols in vivo, and increase in the concentration of plant sterols in blood, while increase in the level of plant sterols can permeate cell membranes to lower membrane fluidity, permeability and cause lipid metabolism disorder; in addition, plant sterols are more readily oxidized than cholesterol, and their oxidation products severely destroy endothelial cells and penetrate the arterial wall, stimulating monocytes to differentiate into macrophages into tissues, and eventually evolve into foam cells to initiate atherosclerosis. Lipoproteins containing sitosterol can accelerate macrophage death and plaque necrosis, and are important causes of coronary plaque rupture and thrombosis. Because plant sterols are somewhat competitive in inhibiting cholesterol absorption, atherosclerosis due to general cholesterol elevation suggests lowering cholesterol synthesis and administering a certain amount of foods with high plant sterol content, which may be counterproductive to patients with elevated plant sterols.
Plant solid and cholesterol are similar in structure, and cyclopentane polyhydrophenanthrene is taken as a basic structure and contains hydroxyl. The existing conventional biochemical enzyme method for detecting cholesterol mainly comprises the steps of recognizing double chains and 3 hydroxyl groups on C5 and C6, however, partial structures exist in plant sterols, so that the plant sterols and cholesterol cannot be detected separately. Under normal conditions, the proportion of the plant sterol in the whole detection value is very low, and the effect is not great, but for patients with the plant sterol, the content of the plant sterol in blood can be tens times of that of the normal patients with the plant sterol, the conventional detection method can lead to misjudgment, and for vascular damage caused by excessive plant sterol, the misjudgment can be caused, and bad prognosis can be caused by mistreatment. In addition, the total cholesterol of the patients with the phytosteremia is normal or slightly increased, i.e. coronary heart disease, abnormal blood system and the like are easy to occur early, and huge burden is caused to the patients and families, so that the patients with the phytosteremia can be possibly prompted to have stronger atherosclerosis effect than cholesterol, and the concern on the phytosteremia is not limited to the phytosteremia, but the atherosclerosis group.
The intestinal absorption and secretion mechanisms of plant sterols and cholesterol are similar, and plant sterols can be used as surrogate markers for assessing intestinal cholesterol absorption and synthesis, such as dehydrocholesterol, 7-enecholestanol representing synthesis, sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, cholestanol representing absorption. The cholesterol steady state disturbance can be related to hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes, and an accurate plant sterol component detection technology can help evaluate the absorption synthesis balance of cholesterol in the body, and better guide clinical lipid-lowering treatment.
With the deep understanding of plant sterols, partial research attempts are made to develop related detection methods, and currently, various methods are reported, including gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, gas chromatography tandem flame ionization detector method, liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector method and liquid chromatography-fluorescence detector method, which are only used in scientific research departments, have complicated operation, require derivatization steps, have no registration certificate of clinical medical instruments and limit popularization and use.
In recent years, high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology is rapidly developed in clinical inspection departments, and research and development are also carried out on a method for detecting plant sterol based on the LC-MS/MS technology, but due to the fact that detection difficulty is high, related reports are less, and a plurality of methods still have certain limitations. In particular, the chemical structure and retention time of 7-alkene cholanol are very similar to those of cholesterol, the existing detection method cannot achieve better baseline separation, and the substance is a key marker representing cholesterol synthesis and has important value in accurate detection.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention aims to provide a method for detecting the content of plant sterols in blood, which can effectively separate chromatographic peaks of 7-alkene cholanol and cholesterol, avoid the influence of high concentration cholesterol in a sample on quantification, and optimize the detection time and the minimum sample size.

isocratic elution is carried out on the chromatographic column by using a mobile phase A and a mobile phase B, wherein the mobile phase A consists of acetonitrile, water and formic acid with the mass ratio of 82:18:0.1, and the mobile phase B is absolute ethyl alcohol;
the chromatographic time is noted as t, and the elution procedure is as follows:
when 0min is less than or equal to 14min, introducing a mobile phase A, wherein the flow rate is 0.7mL/min;
when 14min < t is less than or equal to 15.80min, introducing a flow velocity phase B, wherein the flow velocity is 0.35mL/min;

7-alkene cholanol (shown as formula I) and cholesterol (shown as formula II) are isomers, have the same molecular weight and the same mass-to-charge ratio (369.3) during mass spectrometry, so that the separation of chromatographic peaks of the two substances during liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry is very difficult, and the accurate quantitative detection of 7-alkene cholanol is difficult.
In addition, most of the prior art separation techniques have the problem that the baseline is gradually raised with multiple sample injections, which results in a decrease in the degree of separation of 7-enecholanol and cholesterol, which has become a detection pain point for 7-enecholanol. As shown in FIG. 1, the chromatographic peaks of 7-enecholanol and cholesterol in the separation profile obtained by the conventional technique are difficult to completely separate.
I is a kind of
II (II)
According to the invention, the steps of powerful cleaning (14 min < t is less than or equal to 15.80 min) and pre-balancing (15.80 min < t is less than or equal to 17.5 min) are added in the chromatographic time interval, so that no residue exists in each sample in the chromatographic column, the baseline is kept clean and is not gradually increased after long-term continuous sample injection, the effective separation of chromatographic peaks of 7-alkene cholanol and cholesterol is realized, the peak outlet time of plant sterols is shortened as a whole, and the detection efficiency is accelerated.

the cholesterol content in normal human blood is about 3-6mmol/l, and the cholesterol content is only about 0.01mmol/l, which is hundreds times higher than that of the plant, and the quantification of low concentration plant sterols is extremely easily affected by high concentration cholesterol if the chromatographic peak separation of the plant sterols from cholesterol is poor. Wherein, the 7-alkene cholane alcohol chromatographic peak is closest to cholesterol, and the high concentration of cholesterol further increases the separation difficulty of the 7-alkene cholane alcohol chromatographic peak and the cholesterol chromatographic peak, and the accurate quantification of the 7-alkene cholane alcohol can be seriously influenced by incomplete separation of the two chromatographic peaks.

When the prior treatment does not comprise saponification, the method of the invention can be directly used for detecting the content of free plant sterols; when the pretreatment comprises saponification, the method of the present invention is used to detect the total amount of free and bound plant sterols.
The invention greatly simplifies the pretreatment scheme of the blood sample and can detect the free type and the combined type plant sterol substances at the same time.
