Data processing for mass spectrometry-based metabolomics

Modern analytical technologies afford comprehensive and quantitative investigation of a multitude of different metabolites. Typical metabolomic experiments can therefore produce large amounts of data. Handling such complex datasets is an important step that has big impact on extent and quality at which the metabolite identification and quantification can be made, and thus on the ultimate biological interpretation of results. Increasing interest in metabolomics thus led to resurgence of interest in related data processing. A wide variety of methods and software tools have been developed for metabolomics during recent years, and this trend is likely to continue. In this paper we overview the key steps of metabolomic data processing and focus on reviewing recent literature related to this topic, particularly on methods for handling data from liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) experiments.     

Targeted Metabolomics for Biomarker Discovery

Metabolomics is a truly interdisciplinary field of science, which combines analytical chemistry, platform technology, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy with sophisticated data analysis. Applied to biomarker discovery, it includes aspects of pathobiochemistry, systems biology/medicine, and molecular diagnostics and requires bioinformatics and multivariate statistics. While successfully established in the screening of inborn errors in neonates, metabolomics is now widely used in the characterization and diagnostic research of an ever increasing number of diseases. In this Review we highlight important technical prerequisites as well as recent developments in metabolomics and metabolomics data analysis with special emphasis on their utility in biomarker identification and qualification, as well as targeted metabolomics by employing high‐throughput mass spectrometry.     

In vivo solid-phase microextraction in metabolomics: opportunities for the direct investigation of biological systems

Sample preparation has a strong impact on the quality of metabolomics studies. The use of solid-phase microextraction (SPME), particularly its in vivo format, enables the capture of a more representative metabolome and presents opportunities to detect low-abundance, short-lived, and/or unstable species not easily captured by traditional methods. The technique is ideally suited for temporal, spatial, and longitudinal studies of the same living system, as well as multicompartmental studies of the same organism. SPME is useful for the investigation of biological systems ranging in complexity from cells to mammalian tissues. Selected examples are highlighted in this Minireview in order to place the technique within the context of conventional methods of sample preparation for metabolomics.     

On‐line solid‐phase extraction for liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of pesticides

Public concern about pesticides in food and water has increased dramatically in the last two decades. In order to guarantee consumers’ health and safety, analytical methods that could provide fast and reliable answers without compromising accuracy and precision are required. Sample treatment is probably the most tedious and time‐consuming step in many analytical procedures and, despite the significant advances in chromatographic separations and mass spectrometry techniques, sample treatment is still one of the most important parts of the analytical process for achieving good analytical results. Therefore, over the last years, considerable efforts have been made to simplify the stage and to develop fast, accurate, and robust methods that allow the determination of a wide range of pesticides without compromising the integrity of the extraction process. This review article intends to give a short overview of recently developed on‐line solid‐phase extraction, preconcentration, and clean‐up procedures for the determination of pesticides in complex matrices by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry techniques.     

CE-MS for metabolomics: Developments and applications in the period 2018–2020

Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) is now a mature analytical technique in metabolomics, notably for the efficient profiling of polar and charged metabolites. Over the past few years, (further) progress has been made in the design of improved interfacing techniques for coupling CE to MS; also, in the development of CE-MS approaches for profiling metabolites in volume-restricted samples, and in strategies that further enhance the metabolic coverage. In this article, which is a follow-up of a previous review article covering the years 2016–2018 (Electrophoresis 2019, 40, 165–179), the main (technological) developments in CE-MS methods and strategies for metabolomics are discussed covering the literature from July 2018 to June 2020. Representative examples highlight the utility of CE-MS in the fields of biomedical, clinical, microbial, plant and food metabolomics. A complete overview of recent CE-MS-based metabolomics studies is given in a table, which provides information on sample type and pretreatment, capillary coatings, and MS detection mode. Finally, some general conclusions and perspectives are given.     

CE–MS for anionic metabolic profiling: An overview of methodological developments

The efficient profiling of highly polar and charged metabolites in biological samples remains a huge analytical challenge in metabolomics. Over the last decade, new analytical techniques have been developed for the selective and sensitive analysis of polar ionogenic compounds in various matrices. Still, the analysis of such compounds, notably for acidic ionogenic metabolites, remains a challenging endeavor, even more when the available sample size becomes an issue for the total analytical workflow. In this paper, we give an overview of the possibilities of capillary electrophoresis‐mass spectrometry (CE–MS) for anionic metabolic profiling by focusing on main methodological developments. Attention is paid to the development of improved separation conditions and new interfacing designs in CE–MS for anionic metabolic profiling. A complete overview of all CE–MS‐based methods developed for this purpose is provided in table format (Table 1) which includes information on sample type, separation conditions, mass analyzer and limits of detection (LODs). Selected applications are discussed to show the utility of CE–MS for anionic metabolic profiling, especially for small‐volume biological samples. On the basis of the examination of the reported literature in this specific field, we conclude that there is still room for the design of a highly sensitive and reliable CE–MS method for anionic metabolic profiling. A rigorous validation and the availability of standard operating procedures would be highly favorable in order to make CE–MS an alternative, viable analytical technique for metabolomics.     

Mass spectrometric analysis for carboxylic acids as viable markers of petroleum hydrocarbon biodegradation

The characterization of metabolites, which are considered markers of bacterial degradation of hydrocarbons, is gaining in importance. Over the years, carboxylic acids have served as useful indicators of aerobic and anaerobic hydrocarbon biodegradation. This interest has been accompanied by the extensive and robust development of analytical methods for monitoring, untargeted identification, and specific and sensitive determination of carboxylic acids in complex matrices. This review discusses critically the state-of-the-art of mass spectrometry as a reliable analytical technique to identify and quantify carboxylic acid metabolites. Attention is paid to sample pre-treatment, selective group pre-concentration, and gas and liquid chromatography preceding mass spectrometry to alleviate matrix effects and ionization discrimination. Recent specific applications of mass spectrometry in monitoring carboxylic acids for assessing hydrocarbon biodegradation are reviewed. Presently, no single technique is sufficient for holistic profiling of carboxylic acids. The direct characterization of carboxylic acids by mass spectrometry is the ultimate goal but despite recent significant developments, challenges persist.
