Set up and validation of a sensitive method to quantify prostaglandins, prostaglandin-glycerol esters and prostaglandin-ethanolamides, as well as their respective precursors
PROSTAGLANDINS & OTHER LIPID MEDIATORS(2023)
摘要
Arachidonic acid-derived prostaglandins are widely studied for their role in inflammation. However, besides arachidonic acid, other arachidonic moiety-containing lipids can be metabolized by COX-2. Indeed, the endo-cannabinoids 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide, AEA) can follow the same biochemical pathways than arachidonic acid leading to the formation of prostaglandin-glycerol esters (PG-G) and prostaglandin-ethanolamides (or prostamides, PG-EA), respectively. The data reported so far support the interest of these bioactive lipids in inflammatory conditions. However, there is only a handful of methods described for their quantification in biological matrices. Moreover, given the shared biochemical pathways for arachidonic acid, 2-AG and AEA, a method allowing for the quantification of these precursors and the corresponding prostaglandin derivatives appears as largely needed. Thus, we report here the development and validation of a single run UPLC-MS/MS quantification method allowing the quanti-fication of these endocannabinoids-derived mediators together with the classical prostaglandin. Moreover, we applied the method to the quantification of these lipids in vitro (using lipopolysaccharides-activated J774 macrophage cells) and in vivo in several tissues from DSS-induced colitis mice. This femtomole-range method should improve the understanding of the interaction between these lipid mediators and inflammation.
