Mass spectrometry (MS) based metabolomics has been a rapidly growing field over the past decade. As a highly sensitive and comprehensive analytical technique, MS is intrinsically suitable for metabolomics, which aims to study all small molecules in a biological system qualitatively and quantitatively. Due to the complexity of biological samples, chromatography separation is required prior to MS, leading to hybrid techniques such as gas chromatography--mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography--mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Major challenges of MS-based metabolomics include automatic data processing and compound identification based on tandem mass spectra (MS/MS). In my dissertation work, I developed novel cheminformatics tools and advanced chromatography methods to improve compound identification and resolution for MS-based metabolomics.

520 $a Mass spectrometry (MS) based metabolomics has been a rapidly growing field over the past decade. As a highly sensitive and comprehensive analytical technique, MS is intrinsically suitable for metabolomics, which aims to study all small molecules in a biological system qualitatively and quantitatively. Due to the complexity of biological samples, chromatography separation is required prior to MS, leading to hybrid techniques such as gas chromatography--mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography--mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Major challenges of MS-based metabolomics include automatic data processing and compound identification based on tandem mass spectra (MS/MS). In my dissertation work, I developed novel cheminformatics tools and advanced chromatography methods to improve compound identification and resolution for MS-based metabolomics.
520 $a Chapter 1 details my efforts to describe and validate MS/MS rules and write software to annotate the substructures or even full structures of small molecules from their accurate mass MS/MS spectra. The identification of the plethora of unknown compounds is the main bottleneck in discovery-driven untargeted metabolomics, hindering any biochemistry-based interpretation of results within a given biological context. Although several MS/MS reference libraries have been created to solve the problem, the number of MS/MS spectra is far from being adequate to cover the full structure space of small molecules. Therefore, a Java software tool named MS2Analyzer was developed for small molecule substructure annotation using characteristic spectral features, such as neutral losses and product ions. A systematic analysis of 147 literature-reported neutral losses was performed with 19,329 accurate mass MS/MS spectra from NIST 11 library to evaluate their performance in substructure annotation. Results showed an average specificity of 92.1+/-6.2% for 13 typical neutral losses. MS2Analyzer software was applied to the LC-MS analysis of green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and 120 different lipids were annotated without any reference library. The software program and source code are freely available online and can be used for automatic substructure annotation for thousands of MS/MS spectra.
520 $a Chapter 2 continues my focus on compound identification but explores another approach, that is, to develop an in silico or computer-generated MS/MS library for a specific lipid class, the 'fatty acid esters of hydroxyl fatty acids' (FAHFA). FAHFAs were recently discovered in mice and human adipose tissues and some species were found to have potential anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory effects. As a newly discovered lipid class, reference standard compounds and MS/MS spectra for FAHFA species are scarce. To facilitate the identification of FAHFA in untargeted MS/MS metabolomics studies, an in silico MS/MS library was developed with a total of 7,557 quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) spectra in negative ionization mode. The library was built on heuristic modeling of the fragmentation pattern from part of the reference spectra (developing set), followed by applying the rules to a large number of computer-generated lipid structures. Validation of the library was performed by first testing it with remaining reference spectra (validation set), and then applying it in the discovery of new FAHFA lipid species in egg yolk samples. All validation set of spectra were correctly annotated; besides, seven FAHFA lipids were found in the egg yolk, including four species that have never been reported.
520 $a Starting from Chapter 3, I report my efforts to integrate advanced chromatography methods with cheminformatics tools to improve the resolution and compound identification results in metabolomics. Chapter 3 investigates whether a sample pre-fractionation by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography (2D TLC) prior to LC-MS/MS would improve the number of identified lipids in algae in comparison to direct LC-MS/MS analyses of the crude extracts. Common LC-MS/MS based lipidomics often suffer from the ion suppression and MS/MS selection problems due to co-eluting compounds. In this project, experiments were performed to test whether using 2D TLC as a pre-fractionation method can alleviate the above problems and increase the total number of lipids annotated by LC-MS/MS. 2D TLC experiments were performed for the concentrated lipid extracts of three algal species, including Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Auxenochlorella protothecoides, and Euglena gracilis. Each lipid class was then visualized by iodine vapor, re-extracted and analyzed by high-resolution LC-MS/MS. As a comparison, the crude lipid extracts were analyzed using direct LC-MS/MS method. A total of 637 lipids from 15 lipid classes were annotated using MS2Analyzer and LipidBlast in silico library. Surprisingly, only 392 lipids were found with the 2D TLC pre-fractionation, compared to 528 lipids found without 2D TLC. Potential reasons might be the losses of compounds during the staining and re-extraction processes. Alternative techniques need to be developed to improve the sensitivity when coupling TLC with LC-MS/MS.
520 $a In Chapter 4, I shifted my focus of developing advanced chromatography-MS/MS methods from lipidomics to polyphenol profiling, using red wines as application example. As a rich source of polyphenols as well as other micronutrients, red wine has been linked to multiple health benefits such as anti-carcinogenic, anti-aging and anti-cancer. A lot of effort has been put into building analytical methods to measure polyphenols in red wines, yet still inadequate due to the limitation of targeted approaches. To expand the coverage of wine metabolomics and to improve the sample throughput, a rapid untargeted LC-MS/MS method was developed. 1 mm I.D. reversed phase C18 columns were used with Ekigent MicroLC system to increase the sensitivity and reduce the consumption of organic solvents. Comprehensive method optimization was performed, including the comparison between three 1 mm I.D. columns, eleven gradient conditions and two MS/MS acquisition methods. Finally, a Kinetex C18 2.6 mum column was selected, together with a 4 min gradient at 0.05 mL/min flow rate coupled to a data-dependent MS/MS acquisition approach, to analyze six commercial red wines. 264 compounds, including 165 polyphenols, were annotated using the novel software MS-DIAL and MS/MS libraries. Six red wines showed different metabolite profiles, which could be associated with their taste scores from untrained consumers.
520 $a Chapter 5 is a combined chapter of three collaborative projects in which I participated during the completion of this dissertation. In the first project, a "retention projection" approach was developed to predict the LC retention times more accurately. In contrast to the well-known linear retention indices (LRIs) method, which assumed that relative retention is constant and comparable across methods, retention projection calculated the gradient retention times by treating gradients as multiple isocratic steps and using the relationship between isocratic retention factor and solvent composition. When combined with the "back-calculation" methodology, this approach was on average 2- to 22-fold more accurate than the LRIs method. The second project investigated the efficiency of the small-sized reversed phase LC columns under isocratic conditions. In this study, three 1 mm I.D., 5 cm length columns were evaluated with micro-flow instrument and conventional UHPLC instrument. Results showed that with significant smaller extra-column volume, micro-flow instrument would be preferred for small-sized columns. This study was carried out before the experiments in Chapter 3 and provided some preliminary data. It also suggested that bypassing the heat exchanger column port and using weak injector wash solvent combined with partial loop injection can improve the column efficiency, if UHPLC has to be used with small-sized columns. The last project aimed to develop a software tool to process the data-independent MS/MS data for metabolomics. Data-independent MS/MS acquisition (DIA) can collect MS/MS spectra for all precursors simultaneously regardless of their peak intensities, but the resulting spectra often contain product ions from multiple precursors and cannot be used directly for compound identification. Mass Spectrometry--Data Independent AnaLysis software (MS-DIAL) was developed to reconstruct the pure spectra using mathematical deconvolution method similar to GC-MS. MS-DIAL was then used to analyze the lipidomics DIA data from 10 algal species and 1,023 lipids were annotated.
