Fatty Acid Mass Spectrometry Protocol Updated 10/11/2007 By Daren Stephens Synopsis: This protocol describes the standard method for extracting and quantifying free fatty acids found in cells and media via negative ion chemical ionization GC-MS. Methanol, HCl and deuterated internal standards are added to cell or media samples that are then extracted with iso-octane and derivatized to pentafluorobenzyl esters for GC analysis. Samples are then analyzed by GC-MS along with a standard curve consisting of unlabeled primary fatty acid standards mixed with the same deuterated internal standards added to the samples. The ratios of unlabeled to labeled standard are measured for the standard curve and used to determine unlabeled analyte levels for samples. All operating parameters for the instrument are contained in the raw data files, all other conditions are listed here. Storage: All samples and standards are stored under argon at -20 C. Internal Standards The internal standard contains 25 ng (0.25 ng/µl) of each of the following deuterated fatty acids in 100% ethanol: Compound Deuteration Supplier Catalog number Lauric Acid (12:0) d 3 CDN Isotopes D-4027 Myristic Acid (14:0) d 3 Cambridge Isotopes DLM-1039-0.1 Pentadecanoic Acid (15:0) d 3 CDN Isotopes D-5258 Palmitic Acid (16:0) d 3 CDN Isotopes D-1655 Heptadecanoic Acid (17:0) d 3 CDN Isotopes D-5255 Linoleic Acid (18:2) d 4 Cayman Chemical 390150 Oleic Acid (18:1) d 2 Cambridge Isotopes DLM-689-0.1 Stearic Acid (18:0) d 3 CDN Isotopes D-1825 Eicosapentaenoic Acid (20:5) d 5 Cayman Chemical 10005056 Arachidonic Acid (20:4) d 8 Cayman Chemical 390010 Arachidic Acid (20:0) d 3 CDN Isotopes D-5254 Docosahexaenoic Acid (22:6) d 5 Cayman Chemical 10005057 Behenic Acid (22:0) d 3 CDN Isotopes D-5708 Lignoceric Acid (24:0) d 4 CDN Isotopes D-6167 Hexacosanoic Acid (26:0) d 4 CDN Isotopes D-6145 Stocks are maintained at 10X concentration (2.5 ng/µl) in 100% ethanol and diluted to working strength at extraction time. 100 µl of 1X internal standard mix is added to each sample just prior to extraction. Primary Standards The primary standard contains unlabeled analytes at known concentrations. A concentrated stock at 10 ng/µl in 100% ethanol is made and serial diluted to create a standard curve.

Sample Extraction Free fatty acids are extracted from either cells or media by iso-octane. Cell number should be kept below 2 million (common use is 0.5 million cells). Addition of two volumes methanol lyses the cells and the mixture is acidified with HCl to 25 mm final concentration. For media, 0.5 ml media is mixed with 1 volume methanol and acidified with HCl to 25 mm final concentration. Internal standard is added and the sample is extracted twice with iso-octane and the upper layers pooled. Extracted fatty acids are dried down under vacuum and derivatized with pentafluorobenzyl bromide, dried down under vacuum and dissolved in 50 µl iso-octane. 1 µl derivatized sample is loaded onto the GC-MS for analysis. Note: Due to fatty acid contamination, all glassware used in the procedure should be washed with soap (Fisher Versa-Clean) and water, then thoroughly washed with dh 2 O. Extraction of cell samples 1. Using a washed 16 mm x 125 mm glass tube, two volumes methanol is added to a minimum volume of 0.25 ml sample in DPBS (additional DPBS is added to bring lower volume samples up to 0.25 ml). 1 N HCl is added to 25 mm final concentration to acidify the mixture and 100 µl internal standard is added. 2. Two total volumes iso-octane is added, and the sample is mixed and centrifuged at 3000 x g for 1 minute to separate layers. The top layer is removed and transferred to a washed 10 mm x 75 mm glass tube. 3. Repeat step 2. 4. Dry down under vacuum using speedvac. 5. Derivatize samples by adding 25 µl 1% pentafluorobenzyl bromide in acetonitrile, and 25 µl 1% diisopropylethylamine in acetonitrile. Cap tubes, mix and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. 6. Dry down under vacuum using speedvac. 7. Dissolve samples in 50 µl iso-octane and transfer to labeled sample vial with 250 µl glass insert. Cap and place samples in the GC-MS sample tray and begin analysis. Extraction of media samples 1. Using a washed 16 mm x 125 mm glass tube, one volume methanol is added to 0.5 ml media. 1 N HCl is added to 25 mm final concentration to acidify the mixture and 100 µl internal standard is added. 2. One total volume iso-octane is added and the sample is mixed and centrifuged at 3000 x g for 1 minute to separate layers. The top layer is removed and transferred to a washed 10 mm x 75 mm glass tube. 3. Repeat step 2. 4. Dry down under vacuum using speedvac 5. Derivatize samples by adding 25 µl 1% pentafluorobenzyl bromide in acetonitrile, and 25 µl 1% diisopropylethylamine in acetonitrile. Cap tubes, mix and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. 6. Dry down under vacuum using speedvac.

7. Dissolve samples in 50 µl iso-octane and transfer to labeled sample vial with 250 µl glass insert. Cap and place samples in the GC-MS sample tray and begin analysis.
