In this study, a rapid multi-mycotoxin approach was developed for biomonitoring and quantification of 27 important mycotoxins and mycotoxin metabolites in human blood samples. HPLC-MS/MS detection was used for the analysis of dried serum spots (DSS) and dried blood spots (DBS). Detection of aflatoxins (AFB, AFB, AFG, AFG, AFM), trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol, DON; DON-3-glucoronic acid, DON-3-GlcA; T-2; HT-2; and HT-2-4-GlcA), fumonisin B (FB), ochratoxins (OTA and its thermal degradation product 2'R-OTA; OTα; 10-hydroxychratoxin A, 10-OH-OTA), citrinin (CIT and its urinary metabolite dihydrocitrinone, DH-CIT), zearalenone and zearalanone (ZEN, ZAN), altenuene (ALT), alternariols (AOH; alternariol monomethyl ether, AME), enniatins (EnA, EnA, EnB, EnB) and beauvericin (Bea) was validated for two matrices, serum (DSS), and whole blood (DBS). HPLC-MS/MS analysis showed signal suppression as well as signal enhancement due to matrix effects. However, for most analytes LOQs in the lower pg/mL range and excellent recovery rate were achieved using matrix-matched calibration. Besides validation of the method, the analyte stability in DBS and DSS was also investigated. Stability is a main issue for some analytes when the dried samples are stored under common conditions at room temperature. Nevertheless, the developed method was applied to DBS samples of a German cohort (n = 50). Besides positive findings of OTA and 2'R-OTA, all samples were positive for EnB. This methodical study establishes a validated multi-mycotoxin approach for the detection of 27 mycotoxins and metabolites in dried blood/serum spots based on a fast sample preparation followed by sensitive HPLC-MS/MS analysis.

在本研究中,开发了一种快速多霉菌毒素方法,用于生物监测和定量人血样本中的27种重要霉菌毒素和霉菌毒素代谢物。采用高效液相色谱-串联质谱(HPLC-MS/MS)检测法分析干血清斑(DSS)和干血斑(DBS)。对黄曲霉毒素(AFB、AFB、AFG、AFG、AFM)、单端孢霉烯族毒素(脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇,DON;DON-3-葡萄糖醛酸,DON-3-GlcA;T-2;HT-2;以及HT-2-4-GlcA)、伏马菌素B(FB)、赭曲霉毒素(OTA及其热降解产物2'R-OTA;OTα;10-羟基赭曲霉毒素A,10-OH-OTA)、桔霉素(CIT及其尿液代谢物二氢桔霉素,DH-CIT)、玉米赤霉烯酮和玉米赤霉酮(ZEN、ZAN)、细交链孢菌酮酸(ALT)、互隔交链孢酚(AOH;互隔交链孢酚单甲醚,AME)、恩镰孢菌素(EnA、EnA、EnB、EnB)和白僵菌素(Bea)在血清(DSS)和全血(DBS)两种基质中的检测进行了验证。HPLC-MS/MS分析显示,由于基质效应,存在信号抑制以及信号增强现象。然而,对于大多数分析物,使用基质匹配校准可实现低至pg/mL范围内的定量限(LOQ)和出色的回收率。除了对该方法进行验证外,还研究了分析物在DBS和DSS中的稳定性。当干燥样本在室温的常见条件下储存时,稳定性是一些分析物的主要问题。尽管如此,所开发的方法应用于一个德国队列(n = 50)的DBS样本。除了检测到OTA和2'R-OTA呈阳性外,所有样本的EnB检测均呈阳性。这项方法学研究建立了一种经过验证的多霉菌毒素方法,用于基于快速样本制备并随后进行灵敏的HPLC-MS/MS分析来检测干血/血清斑中的27种霉菌毒素和代谢物。图形摘要ᅟ 。
