High-throughput and simultaneous quantitative analysis of homocysteine–methionine cycle metabolites and co-factors in blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid by isotope dilution LC–MS/MS

Abstract: The methionine cycle is a key pathway contributing to the regulation of human health, with well-established involvement in cardiovascular diseases and cognitive function. Changes in one-carbon cycle metabolites have also been associated with mild cognitive decline, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. Today, there is no single analytical method to monitor both metabolites and co-factors of the methionine cycle. To address this limitation, we here report for the first time a new method for the simultaneo… Show more

“…In another study, Guiraud et al utilized UPLC-MS/MS to quantitate 17 metabolites of the methionine cycle in the CSF of patients diagnosed with AD ( 61 ). They applied a new multianalyte strategy to monitor both metabolites and cofactors of methionine metabolism simultaneously.…”

“…Cystathionine γ-lyase has been reported to be undetectable in brain tissue and to be completely absent in the embryo (summarized in [ 52 ]). Cystathionine β-synthase has been shown to be expressed in brain but it is unlikely to be significant source of S°/H 2 S in brain because its Km for cysteine (36 mM) is much greater than the Km for the conventional substrate serine (~3 mM) [ 53 ] and far beyond the physiological level of cyst(e)ine in cerebrospinal fluid (1.1 ± 0.4 μM) [ 54 ]. Furthermore, S°/H 2 S generated elsewhere in the body cannot enter nerve tissue because it is bonded to carrier proteins that cannot cross the blood-brain barrier.…”

“…Elevated Hcy in serum can aggravate and potentially cause serious pathologies including cardiovascular diseases [Li et al, 2016a], Alzheimer's disease [Hara et al, 2016], various liver diseases [Tung et al, 2017], and certain forms of cancer [Qu et al, 2016]. The methionine cycle successively involves the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) from methionine and the trans-methylation reactions of a large number of substrates that use SAM as a co-substrate, and production of S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) [Guiraud et al, 2017]. Additionally, Hcy remethylation can also be catalyzed in the liver by enzymes, suggesting a key role of liver in Hcy metabolism.…”
