Chemical Labeling Assisted Detection and Identification of Short Chain Fatty Acid Esters of Hydroxy Fatty Acid in Rat Colon and Cecum Contents

Abstract: Branched fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) are novel endogenous lipids with important physiological functions in mammals. We previously identified a new type of FAHFAs, named short-chain fatty acid esterified hydroxy fatty acids (SFAHFAs), with acetyl or propyl esters of hydroxy fatty acids of carbon chains, C ≥ 20. However, sensitive determination of SFAHFAs is still a challenge, due to their high structural similarity and low abundance in biological samples. This study employs one-step chemic… Show more

“…Branched FAHFAs are endogenously produced in insects [ 250 ], and mammals, such as rodents [ 248 , 251 ], caribou and moose [ 252 ], and humans [ 251 , 253 ]. In humans, white adipose tissue (WAT) represents the major site of FAHFA synthesis [ 248 , 253 255 ], although they are also found in blood [ 256 , 257 ] and other tissues, such as the liver [ 248 , 258 ], kidneys [ 248 , 258 , 259 ], large intestine [ 260 ], pancreas [ 248 ], lungs [ 258 ], thymus [ 258 ], and heart [ 258 ], albeit to a lesser extent. Branched FAHFAs are also naturally occurring substances found in microalgae [ 261 ], breast milk [ 262 ] and foods, such as cereals, fruits, vegetables, oils, eggs and meat [ 251 , 263 265 ].…”

“…The lipids were extracted from the colon contents by the method established earlier in our laboratory with minor modifications. , In brief, about 20–100 mg of colon contents was weighed into a 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube, and approximately 5–6 ceramic beads (1.4 mm, catalog no. 15-340-159, Fisherbrand) and 10 vol of cold methanol were added.…”

“…21−23 The acetate-and propionate-derived SFAHFAs identified in our previous study were also characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry and improved detection sensitivity by chemical labeling. 14,24 The identified SFAHFAs were decreased significantly in colon contents of rats fed a high-fat diet, 14 demonstrating their biological importance in the gut. However, so far, only a limited number of SFAHFAs with HFA ≥C20 were reported, and their double-bond position was not characterized.…”

“…In lung, kidney, thymus, liver and heart FAHFAs content is rather in pg/g (Zhu et al, 2017). Short-chain FAHFAs are in a concentration range from 0.84 to 57 pmoles/mg in the large intestine (Gowda et al, 2020b(Gowda et al, , 2020c.…”
