PG - e4680 LID - 10.1002/jms.4680 [doi] AB - The amino acid glutamine (Gln) is a likely source of energy in the brain during neuroglucopenia. Effects of glucose deficiency on astrocyte Gln homeostasis remain unclear, as analytical tools of requisite sensitivity for quantification of intracellular levels of this molecule are not currently available. Here, a primary hypothalamic astrocyte culture model was used in conjunction with design of experiments (DOE)-refined high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) methodology to investigate the hypothesis that glucoprivation alters astrocyte Gln content in a sex-specific manner. Critical mass spectrometric parameters for Gln derivative chromatographic response were identified by comparing the performance of central composite design, Box-Behnken design, and Optimal Design (OD)-A, -D, -I, -Distance, and -Modified Distance DOE models. The outcomes showed that the OD-A-generated response was superior relative to other design outcomes. Forecasted surface plot critical mass spectrometric parameters were maximized by OD-A, OD-Distance, and OD-Modified Distance designs. OD-A produced a high-performance method that yielded experimental run and forecasted surface plot maximal responses. Optimized mass spectrometric analysis of male versus female astrocyte Gln content provides novel evidence that glucoprivation significantly depletes this amino acid in female, but not in male, and that this sex-specific response may involve differential sensitivity to estrogen receptor signaling. This technological advance will facilitate efforts to ascertain how distinctive physiological and pathophysiological stimuli impact astrocyte Gln metabolism in each sex.
