- The study aimed to create an efficient method for accurately measuring NAD metabolites in glial and oocyte cells using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques.
- The developed method successfully quantified 17 NAD metabolites in human astroglioma cells and demonstrated significant metabolic changes under different culture conditions, making it a valuable tool for analyzing disease-related metabolic changes.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential pyridine nucleotide that serves as a key hydride transfer coenzyme for several oxidoreductases. It is also the substrate for intracellular secondary messenger signalling by CD38 glycohydrolases, DNA repair by poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase, and epigenetic regulation of gene expression by a class of histone deacetylase enzymes known as sirtuins. The measurement of NAD and its related metabolites (hereafter, the NAD metabolome) represents an important indicator of cellular function.
Objectives: A study was performed to develop a sensitive, selective, robust, reproducible, and rapid method for the concurrent quantitative determination of intracellular levels of the NAD metabolome in glial and oocyte cell extracts using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS).
Methods: The metabolites were separated on a versatile amino column using a dual HILIC-RP gradient with heated electrospray (HESI) tandem mass spectrometry detection in mixed polarity multiple reaction monitoring mode.
Results: Quantification of 17 metabolites in the NAD metabolome in U251 human astroglioma cells could be achieved. Changes in NAD metabolism in U251 cell line, and murine oocytes under different culture conditions were also investigated.
Conclusion: This method can be used as a sensitive profiling tool, tailoring chromatography for metabolites that express significant pathophysiological changes in several disease conditions and is indispensable for targeted analysis.

Background: Nippostrongylus brasiliensis-a nematode of rodents-is commonly used as a model to study the immunobiology of parasitic nematodes. It is a member of the Strongylida-a large order of socioeconomically important parasitic nematodes of animals. Lipids are known to play essential roles in nematode biology, influencing cellular membranes, energy storage and/or signalling.

The fungal green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) has gained great interest since it is a cost-effective and easy handling method. The process is simple because fungi secrete metabolites and proteins capable of reducing metal salts in aqueous solution, however the mechanism remains largely unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the secretome of a Trichoderma harzianum strain during the mycobiosynthesis process of zinc and iron nanoparticles.

Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a common vascular pregnancy disorder affecting maternal and fetal metabolism with severe immediate and long-term consequences in mothers and infants. During pregnancy, metabolites in the maternal circulation pass through the placenta to the fetus. Meconium, a first stool of the neonate, offers a view to maternal and fetoplacental unit metabolism and could add to knowledge on the effects of PE on the fetus and newborn.

As the occurrence of human diseases and conditions increase, questions continue to arise about their linkages to chemical exposure, especially for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Currently, many chemicals of concern have limited experimental information available for their use in analytical assessments. Here, we aim to increase this knowledge by providing the scientific community with multidimensional characteristics for 175 PFAS and their resulting 281 ion types.

Hydrous aluminosilicates are important deep water-carriers in sediments subducting into the deep mantle. To date, it remains enigmatic how hydrous aluminosilicates withstand extremely high temperatures in the mantle transition zone. Here we systematically investigate the crystal structures and chemical compositions of typical hydrous aluminosilicates using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron probe microanalyzer, and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry.
