摘要
Abstract Background. Reduced glutathione (γ-glutamylcysteinylglycine), GSH, is essential when protecting cells from oxidative stress and also an indicator of disease risk. Reported concentrations of GSH and its oxidized form, glutathione disulfide (GSSG), varies considerably, primarily due to the instability of GSH and various analytical methods. Methods. We designed a sensitive method to analyze GSH and GSSG in porcine hepatocytes using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) after stabilization with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). This method includes stable isotope labeled internal standards and simple synthesis of labeled GSSG which commercial sources rarely offer. GSH and GSSG were analyzed in porcine liver biopsies giving a reference interval based on a large number of samples (26 pigs; 3 parallels). Results. The LC-MS/MS results revealed excellent linearity for both GSH and GSSG, with interday coefficient of variation (%CV) for GSH-NEM and GSSG <10 %. Accuracy for recovery tests was between 95.6% and 106.7% (n = 3) for GSH and between 92.3% and 107.7% (n = 3) for GSSG. The limits of quantification were 0.1 μM for GSH-NEM and 0.08 μM for GSSG. The mean concentration of GSH was 3.5 (95% CI = 1.5–8.1) mmol/liter and of GSSG 0.0023 (95% CI = 0.0003–0.019) mmol/liter. Conclusion. For the first time GSH and GSSG are analyzed in porcine hepatocytes by LC-MS/MS yielding a reference level of GSH and GSSG. The method is reproducible in any laboratory with LC-MS/MS service and will probably be applicable in all soft tissues and cell suspensions, essentially with no modification.Key Words:: cell suspensionglutathionehepatocyteHPLCliverN-ethylmaleimideporcinesoft tissuetandem mass spectrometry AcknowledgmentThe authors are grateful to the laboratory technicians at Laboratory of Surgical Research for invaluable technical assistance.
