Determination of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine and Cotinine in Urine by Hydrophilic Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry with Isotope Dilution
Abstract
To develop an assay for determination of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine and cotinine in human urine by hydrophilic chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS) with isotope dilution. Methods The urine supernatant was 1∶5 diluted with 3 mmol/L ammonium formate aqueous solution containing 15N5-8-OHdG and D3-cotinine as internal standard. After being filtered through a 0.22 μm water filter, the sample solution was injected into ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for analysis. Separation was performed on ACQUITY UPLC® BEH HILIC column (50 mm×3.0 mm, 1.7 μm) with isocratic elution (A∶B=10∶90) at 40 ℃. The mobile phase was composed with acetonitrile (B) and 3 mmol/L ammonium formate water soulution (A). The flow rate was 0.3 mL/min. Positive ion scan-multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode were used for monitoring and internal standard curves were applied for quantification. Results Good linearity was obtained under the optimal conditions. Detection limits for 8-OHdG and cotinine were 0.064 µg/L and 0.035 µg/L respectively, the quantitation limits were 0.21 µg/L and 0.12 µg/L respectively, and the recoveries of the spiked urine samples were 92.6%-102% and 102%-106% respectively. Statistical analysis of 40 urine sample determination results obtained by using the above assay showed that there were significant differences in tobacco smoke exposure and tobacco-specific nitrosamine intake between active and passive smoker (P<0.05). The concentration of NNAL and cotinine were higher in urine samples of active smoker. Tobacco smoke exposure was positively correlated with tobacco specific nitrosamine intake in both active and passive smokers (the correlation coefficients were 0.487 and 0.786 respectively, P<0.05). Conclusion We successfully established a simple and fast assay for simultaneously detecting 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine and cotinine in human urine. It was sensitive and accurate for quntification via the calibration by the isotope internal standards, and can meet the needs of batch analysis.
