Working in concert with community partners, who acted as liaisons to local residents, samples were collected by North Carolina residents from three different locations along the Cape Fear River basin: upper, middle, and lower areas of the river. Residents collected either drinking water samples from their homes or recreational water samples from near their residence that were then submitted by the community partners for PFAS analysis. All samples were processed using weak anion exchange (WAX) solid phase extraction and analyzed using a non-targeted suspect screening approach as well as a quantitative approach that included a panel of 45 PFAS analytes, several of which are specific to chemical industries near the collection site locations. The non-targeted approach, which utilized a suspect screening list (obtained from EPA CompTox database) identified several PFAS compounds at a level two confidence rating (Schymanski scale); compounds identified included a fluorinated insecticide, a fluorinated herbicide, a PFAS used in polymer chemistry, and another that is used in battery production. Notably, at several locations, PFOA (39.8 ng/L) and PFOS (205.3 ng/L) were at levels that exceeded the mandatory EPA maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 4 ng/L. Additionally, several sites had detectable levels of PFAS that are unique to a local chemical manufacturer. These findings were communicated back to the community partners who then disseminated this information to the local residents to help empower and aid in making decisions for reducing their PFAS exposure.}, number={6}, journal={TOXICS}, author={Weed, Rebecca A. and Campbell, Grace and Brown, Lacey and May, Katlyn and Sargent, Dana and Sutton, Emily and Burdette, Kemp and Rider, Wayne and Baker, Erin S. and Enders, Jeffrey R.}, year={2024}, month={Jun} } @article{kotlarz_mccord_wiecha_weed_cuffney_enders_strynar_knappe_reich_hoppin_2024, title={Reanalysis of PFO5DoA Levels in Blood from Wilmington, North Carolina, Residents, 2017-2018}, volume={132}, ISSN={["1552-9924"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP13339}, DOI={10.1289/EHP13339}, abstractNote={,}, number={2}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVES}, author={Kotlarz, Nadine and McCord, James and Wiecha, Nate and Weed, Rebecca A. and Cuffney, Michael and Enders, Jeffrey R. and Strynar, Mark and Knappe, Detlef R.

High‐resolution accurate mass (HRAM) instrumentation (typically deployed for non‐targeted work) carries several advantages over traditional triple quadrupole workflows when performing absolute quantitation. Processing this data using a vendor‐neutral software would promote collaboration for these environmental studies.MethodsLC‐MS (Orbitrap Exploris 240) was used for absolute quantitation of 45 PFAS using precursor (MS1) peak areas for quantitation, whereas isotope pattern matching and fragmentation (MS2) pattern matching were used for qualitative identification. In addition, a fluorinated chromatographic column achieved superior separation compared to the typical C18 columns typically used in PFAS analyses. This method was validated across eight different chemical classes using recommended guidelines found in EPA Method 537.1 and Skyline data processing software.ResultsThe validated limits of all 45 compounds, as well as metrics or accuracy and reproducibility, are reported. Most compounds achieved limits of quantitation in the range of 2‐50 ng/L. Four newly released Chemours‐specific compounds (PEPA, PFO3OA, PFO4DA, and PFO5DoA) were also validated. Aspects of data analysis specific to high resolving power absolute quantitation are reviewed as are the details of processing these data via Skyline.ConclusionsThis method shows the feasibility of performing reproducible absolute quantitation of PFAS on an HRAM platform and does so using an open‐source vendor‐neutral data processing software to facilitate sharing of data across labs and institutions.}, number={11}, journal={RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY}, author={Enders, Jeffrey R. and Weed, Rebecca A. and Griffith, Emily H. and Muddiman, David C.}, year={2022}, month={Jun} } @article{weed_boatman_enders_2022, title={Recovery of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances after solvent evaporation}, volume={10}, ISSN={["2050-7895"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1039/D2EM00269H}, DOI={10.1039/D2EM00269H}, abstractNote={Presented data shows that vacuum evaporative concentration of PFAS standards can cause class-specific loss of material that can be mitigated via recovery steps.}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE-PROCESSES & IMPACTS}, author={Weed, Rebecca A. and Boatman, Anna K. and Enders, Jeffrey R.}, year={2022}, month={Oct} } @article{zimmer_howell_ma_enders_lehman_corey_barycki_simpson_2021, title={Altered glucuronidation deregulates androgen dependent response profiles and signifies castration resistance in prostate cancer}, volume={12}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28059}, DOI={10.18632/oncotarget.28059}, abstractNote={Glucuronidation controls androgen levels in the prostate and the dysregulation of enzymes in this pathway is associated with castration resistant prostate cancer. UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) produces UDP-glucuronate, the essential precursor for glucuronidation, and its expression is elevated in prostate cancer. We compared protein and metabolite levels relevant to the glucuronidation pathway in five prostate cancer patient-derived xenograft models paired with their isogenic counterparts that were selected in vivo for castration resistant (CR) recurrence. All pairs showed changes in UGDH and associated enzymes and metabolites that were consistent with those we found in an isogenic androgen dependent (AD) and CR LNCaP prostate cancer model. Ectopic overexpression of UGDH in LNCaP AD cells blunted androgen-dependent gene expression, increased proteoglycan synthesis, significantly increased cell growth compared to controls, and eliminated dose responsive growth suppression with enzalutamide treatment. In contrast, the knockdown of UGDH diminished proteoglycans, suppressed androgen dependent growth irrespective of androgens, and restored androgen sensitivity in CR cells. Importantly, the knockdown of UGDH in both LNCaP AD and CR cells dramatically sensitized these cells to enzalutamide. These results support a role for UGDH in androgen responsiveness and a target for therapeutic strategies in advanced prostate cancer.}, number={19}, journal={Oncotarget}, publisher={Impact Journals, LLC}, author={Zimmer, Brenna M. and Howell, Michelle E. and Ma, Linlin and Enders, Jeffrey R. and Lehman, Danielle and Corey, Eva and Barycki, Joseph J. and Simpson, Melanie A.}, year={2021}, month={Sep}, pages={1886–1902} } @article{mora-navarro_garcia_sarker_ozpinar_enders_khan_branski_freytes_2022, title={Monitoring decellularization via absorbance spectroscopy during the derivation of extracellular matrix scaffolds}, volume={17}, ISSN={["1748-605X"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-605X/ac361f}, DOI={10.1088/1748-605X/ac361f}, abstractNote={Abstract Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex structure composed of bioactive molecules representative of the local tissue microenvironment. Decellularized ECM biomaterials harness these biomolecules for regenerative medicine applications. One potential therapeutic application is the use of vocal fold (VF) specific ECM to restore the VFs after injury. ECM scaffolds are derived through a process of decellularization, which aims to remove unwanted immunogenic biomolecules (e.g. DNA) while preserving the composition of the ECM. The effectiveness of the decellularization is typically assessed at the end by quantifying ECM attributes such as final dsDNA content. However, batch-to-batch variability in ECM manufacturing remains a significant challenge for the standardization, cost-effectiveness, and scale-up process. The limited number of tools available for in-process control heavily restricts the uncovering of the correlations between decellularization process parameters and ECM attributes. In this study, we developed a technique applicable to both the classical batch method and semi-continuous decellularization systems to trace the decellularization of two laryngeal tissues in real-time. We hypothesize that monitoring the bioreactor’s effluent absorbance at 260 nm as a function of time will provide a representative DNA release profile from the tissue and thus allow for process optimization. The DNA release profiles were obtained for laryngeal tissues and were successfully used to optimize the derivation of VF lamina propria-ECM (auVF-ECM) hydrogels. This hydrogel had comparable rheological properties to commonly used biomaterials to treat VF injuries. Also, the auVF-ECM hydrogel promoted the down-regulation of CCR7 by THP-1 macrophages upon lipopolysaccharide stimulation in vitro suggesting some anti-inflammatory properties. The results show that absorbance profiles are a good representation of DNA removal during the decellularization process thus providing an important tool to optimize future protocols.}, number={1}, journal={BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS}, publisher={IOP Publishing}, author={Mora-Navarro, Camilo and Garcia, Mario E. and Sarker, Prottasha and Ozpinar, Emily W. and Enders, Jeffrey R. and Khan, Saad and Branski, Ryan C. and Freytes, Donald O.}, year={2022}, month={Jan} } @article{feng_strickland_enders_roslawski_mcintire_mcintire_2021, title={Ritalinic acid in urine: Impact of age and dose}, volume={27}, ISSN={["2352-5517"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.plabm.2021.e00258}, abstractNote={The objective of this work was to study the results of urine drug testing for ritalinic acid (RA), the major urinary metabolite of methylphenidate (MP) (e.g., Ritalin®). The impact of age from 4 to 65 years old and older on median levels of RA was investigated as well as potential variations in pH, specific gravity and creatinine content of the patient urine samples.Samples from patients who were 1) prescribed MP and found to be positive for RA, 2) prescribed MP but found to be negative for RA and 3) not prescribed MP but tested positive for RA were examined by liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for RA concentration. The levels of RA were examined for median and average levels and further normalized and transformed to reveal a near gaussian distribution.Over 20,000 samples from patients who were prescribed MP were examined for this work. Analysis of these data for a subset of patients prescribed MP and testing positive for RA revealed statistically different median values of RA for school age patients of 6 years old through 17 years old from adult patients 18 through 64 years old. Another 6751 samples were positive for RA without a prescription but were not included in the overall assessment of these data.While not clear as to the reason, these data indicate that school age children under the age of 18 have much higher levels of RA than adult patients. These results can be used to estimate "normal" levels of RA in these chronically dosed populations.}, journal={PRACTICAL LABORATORY MEDICINE}, author={Feng, Sheng and Strickland, Erin and Enders, Jeffery and Roslawski, Michaela and McIntire, Timothy and McIntire, Gregory}, year={2021}, month={Nov} } @article{enders_grace m. o'neill_whitten_muddiman_2021, title={Understanding the electrospray ionization response factors of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)}, volume={7}, ISSN={["1618-2650"]}, DOI={10.1007/s00216-021-03545-8}, abstractNote={Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are used extensively in commercial products.

A number of decellularization protocols have been described for ECM biomaterials derivation, each adapted to a particular tissue and use, restricting comparisons among materials. One of the major sources of variability in ECM products comes from the tissue source and animal age. Although this variability could be minimized using established tissue sources, other sources arise from the decellularization process itself. Overall, current protocols require manual work and are poorly standardized with regard to the choice of reagents, the order by which they are added, and exposure times. The combination of these factors adds variability affecting the uniformity of the final product between batches. Furthermore, each protocol needs to be optimized for each tissue and tissue source making tissue-to-tissue comparisons difficult. Automation and standardization of ECM scaffold development constitute a significant improvement to current biomanufacturing techniques but remains poorly explored.

Accurate prediction of hepatic metabolic clearance from in vitro data is critical in this regard as it determines compound pharmacokinetics and exposure at sites of action. To estimate hepatic metabolic clearance, intrinsic clearance (CLint) is typically measured using in vitro systems such as primary hepatocytes or subcellular fractions derived from liver tissues. However, currently available in vitro systems used in these studies often lack long-term metabolic competence, making it challenging to estimate CLint for poorly metabolized and slowly cleared chemicals. Materials and Methods: To address this challenge, we developed a three-dimensional (3D) primary human hepatocyte cell culture system using alginate hydrogels (“alginate bead culture”) with extended viability and metabolic competence. Results: Alginate bead culture generates comparable estimates of metabolism to other in vitro and in vivo systems. In addition, expression of several xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes over long timeframes in beads is comparable to freshly isolated hepatocytes in suspension culture. Discussion: We compare CLint estimated from traditional suspension versus alginate bead culture for two chemicals (S-warfarin and coumarin) and show that alginate bead culture holds promise to increase confidence in estimates of CLint for slowly cleared chemicals. Conclusions: In addition to providing an improved in vitro tool to estimate metabolic clearance for a broad range of chemicals, this simple 3D hepatocyte culture can be adapted to a continuous flow-based bioreactor system allowing repeated exposure experiments over long periods in vitro, tackling an important challenge in in vitro-based chemical safety assessment.}, number={3}, journal={Applied In Vitro Toxicology}, author={Phillips, M.B. and Balbuena-Venancio, P. and Enders, J.R. and Norini, R.L. and Shim, Y.-S. and Burgunder, E. and Rao, L. and Billings, D. and Pedersen, J. and MacDonald, J.M. and et al.}, year={2018}, pages={238–247} } @inproceedings{enders_balbuena-venancio_billings_rao_burgunder_phillips_yoon_2017, title={Evaluation of Non-Specific Binding to Different Organic Polymeric Components in Flow-Based Advanced Cell Culture Systems for Toxicity Testing}, author={Enders, Jeffrey R. and Balbuena-Venancio, Pergentino and Billings, David and Rao, Lavanya and Burgunder, Erin and Phillips, Martin and Yoon, Miyoung}, year={2017}, month={Mar} } @article{enders_reddy_strickland_mcintire_2017, title={Identification of metabolites of brexpiprazole in human urine for use in monitoring patient compliance}, volume={6}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85050647074&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1016/j.clinms.2017.11.001}, abstractNote={Brexpiprazole (Rexulti®) is an atypical antipsychotic prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia.

While enantiomeric separation of methamphetamine has traditionally been accomplished using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), chiral separation of D- and L-methamphetamine by chiral stationary phase (CSP) liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) has proved more reliable. Chirally selective detection of methamphetamine by GC-MS is often performed using L-N-trifluoroacetyl-prolyl chloride (TPC). L-TPC, a chiral compound, is known to have impurities that can affect the chiral composition percentages of the methamphetamine sample, potentially leading to inaccurate patient results. The comparative analysis of the samples run by GC and LC methods showed preferential bias of the GC method for producing error rates, consistent with previous research, of 8-19%. The CSP-LC-MS-MS method produces percent deviation errors of <2%. Additionally, the GC method failed to produce results that were 100% D- or L-isomer even for enantiomerically pure standards. A higher rate of D- and L-methamphetamine isomer racemization is seen in samples when analyzed by GC-MS using L-TPC-derivatizing agent.

However, efforts focused on interpreting patient results have been modest when compared to urine drug testing. This work details a retrospective approach developed to transform and normalize oral fluid testing results to provide a historical picture of patient values in this important test fluid. Using this approach, a model was developed using data from 6,800 independent patients who were both prescribed hydrocodone and tested positive (with limitations: reporting cutoff < X < upper limit of quantitation) by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Patient demographic data were used to calculate the relevant parameters (e.g., calculated blood volume (CBV)) used in the transformation and normalization of the oral fluid data.

Testing of this drug class in oral fluid (OF) has begun to rise in popularity. OF analysis has traditionally required extensive clean-up protocols and sample concentration, which can be avoided. This work highlights the use of a fast, 'dilute-and-shoot' method that performs no considerable sample manipulation. A quantitative method for the determination of eight common opioids and associated metabolites (codeine, morphine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, norhydrocodone, oxycodone, noroxycodone and oxymorphone) in OF is described herein. OF sample is diluted 10-fold in methanol/water and then analyzed using an Agilent chromatographic stack coupled with an AB SCIEX 4500. The method has a 2.2-min LC gradient and a cycle time of 2.9 min. In contrast to most published methods of this particular type, this method uses no sample clean-up or concentration and has a considerably faster LC gradient, making it ideal for very high-throughput laboratories. Importantly, the method requires only 100 μL of sample and is diluted 10-fold prior to injection to help with instrument viability. Baseline separation of all isobaric opioids listed above was achieved on a phenyl-hexyl column. The validated calibration range for this method is 2.5-1,000 ng/mL.

Using microfluidics, online desalting, and mass spectrometry technologies, we constructed and validated a platform well suited for sampling the cellular microenvironment with high temporal resolution. Our platform achieves success in: automated cellular stimulation and microenvironment control; reduced non-specific adsorption to polydimethylsiloxane due to surface passivation; real-time online sample collection; near real-time sample preparation for salt removal; and real-time online mass spectrometry. When compared against the benchmark of “in-culture” experiments combined with ultraperformance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-ion mobility-mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-IM-MS), our platform alleviates the volume challenge issues caused by dilution of autocrine and paracrine signaling and dramatically reduces sample preparation and data collection time, while reducing undesirable external influence from various manual methods of manipulating cells and media (e.g., cell centrifugation). To validate this system biologically, we focused on cellular responses of Jurkat T cells to microenvironmental stimuli. Application of these stimuli, in conjunction with the cell’s metabolic processes, results in changes in consumption of nutrients and secretion of biomolecules (collectively, the exometabolome), which enable communication with other cells or tissues and elimination of waste. Naïve and experienced T-cell metabolism of cocaine is used as an exemplary system to confirm the platform’s capability, highlight its potential for metabolite discovery applications, and explore immunological memory of T-cell drug exposure. Our platform proved capable of detecting metabolomic variations between naïve and experienced Jurkat T cells and highlights the dynamics of the exometabolome over time. Upregulation of the cocaine metabolite, benzoylecgonine, was noted in experienced T cells, indicating potential cellular memory of cocaine exposure. These metabolomics distinctions were absent from the analogous, traditional “in-culture” UPLC-ESI-IM-MS experiment, further demonstrating this platform’s capabilities.}, number={2}, journal={PLoS ONE}, author={Marasco, C.C. and Enders, J.R. and Seale, K.T. and McLean, J.A. and Wikswo, J.P.}, year={2015} } @inproceedings{hitchcock_smith_enders_mcintire_2014, title={Cross-Platform Comparison of Rapid Benzodiazepine Analyses}, author={Hitchcock, Jennifer C. and Smith, Jeremy P. and Enders, Jeffrey R. and McIntire, Gregory L.}, year={2014} } @inproceedings{enders_mitchell_geyer_mcintire_2014, title={Easy to Automate Extraction of THC Metabolites for LC-MS/MS Analysis}, author={Enders, Jeffrey R. and Mitchell, Christopher B. and Geyer, Roland and McIntire, Gregory L.}, year={2014} } @inproceedings{enders_morris_mcintire_2014, title={Oral Fluid Pain Management Panel by "Dilute and Shoot" LC-MS/MS}, author={Enders, Jeffrey R. and Morris, Ayodele A. and McIntire, Gregory L.}, year={2014} } @inproceedings{enders_morris_mcintire_2014, title={Oral Fluid Testing for Buprenorphine and THC by "Dilute and Shoot LC-MS/MS}, author={Enders, Jeffrey R. and Morris, Ayodele A. and McIntire, Gregory L.}, year={2014} } @inproceedings{enders_morris_mcintire_2014, title={Oral Fluid Testing for Opiates by Dilute and Shoot LC-MS/MS}, author={Enders, Jeffrey R. and Morris, Ayodele A. and McIntire, Gregory L.}, year={2014} } @misc{quantitative analysis using rapid technologies_2014, journal={Rapid Urine Drug Testing by Mass Spectrometry}, year={2014}, month={Oct} } @inproceedings{hitchcock_enders_morris_mcintire_2014, title={Rapid Analysis of Selected Benzodiazepines by Automated SPE/MS/MS}, author={Hitchcock, Jennifer C. and Enders, Jeffrey R. and Morris, Ayodele A. and McIntire, Gregory L.}, year={2014} } @article{strickland_enders_monge_wallace_mcintire_2014, title={Screening Analysis of Heroin Samples for Possible Cutting Agents and Adulterants}, volume={38}, url={https://www.soft-tox.org/files/toxtalk/SOFT_ToxTalk_v38-3.pdf}, number={3}, journal={ToxTalk}, publisher={Society of Forensic Toxicologists to the Publisher}, author={Strickland, E.C. and Enders, J.R. and Monge, J. and Wallace, F. and McIntire, G.L.}, year={2014}, pages={12–16} } @inproceedings{enders_hitchcock_park_morris_mcintire_2013, title={A Quantitative Inspection of ESI Glucuronide Degradation}, author={Enders, Jeffrey R. and Hitchcock, Jennifer C. and Park, Cade W. and Morris, Ayodele A. and McIntire, Gregory L.}, year={2013} } @article{enders_marasco_wikswo_mclean_2012, title={A Dual-Column Solid Phase Extraction Strategy for Online Collection and Preparation of Continuously Flowing Effluent Streams for Mass Spectrometry}, volume={84}, ISSN={0003-2700 1520-6882}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ac3021032}, DOI={10.1021/ac3021032}, abstractNote={Current desalination techniques for mass spectrometry-based protocols are problematic for performing temporal response studies where increased temporal resolution requires small samples and faster sampling frequencies, which greatly increases the number of samples and sample preparation time.

In this work, we demonstrate that this strategy may be used for flow rates as low as 500 nL/min, with temporal resolving power on the order of 3 min, with analyte loadings ranging from femtomoles to picomoles for metabolites.

separations combined with imaging mass spectrometry (MS) by ion mobility-MS (IM-MS) approaches. The unique capabilities of combining rapid (mus-ms) IM separations with imaging MS are detailed for an audience ranging from new to potential practitioners in IM-MS technology. Importantly, imaging IM-MS provides the ability to rapidly separate and elucidate various types of endogenous and exogenous biomolecules (e.g., nucleotides, carbohydrates, peptides, and lipids), including isobaric species. Drift tube and traveling wave IM-MS instrumentation are described and specific protocols are presented for calculating ion-neutral collision cross sections (i.e., apparent ion surface area or structure) from experimentally obtained IM-MS data. Special emphasis is placed on the use of imaging IM-MS for the analysis of samples in life sciences research (e.g., thin tissue sections), including selective imaging for peptide/protein and lipid distributions. Future directions for rapid and multiplexed imaging IM-MS/MS are detailed.}, journal={Methods in Molecular Biology}, author={McLean, J.A. and Fenn, L.S. and Enders, J.R.}, year={2010}, pages={363–383} } @inproceedings{enders_goodwin_marasco_may_seale_wikswo_mclean_2010, title={Temporal Analysis of Biological Fluid for the Analysis of Cellular Signaling and Response Using Ion Mobility-mass Spectrometry Analyses}, author={Enders, Jeffrey R. and Goodwin, Cody and Marasco, Christina and May, Jody and Seale, Kevin and Wikswo, John and McLean, John}, year={2010} } @article{enders_marasco_kole_nguyen_sevugarajan_seale_wikswo_mclean_2010, title={Towards monitoring real-time cellular response using an integrated microfluidics-matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation/nanoelectrospray ionisation-ion mobility-mass spectrometry platform}, volume={4}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-78149440921&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1049/iet-syb.2010.0012}, abstractNote={The combination of microfluidic cell trapping devices with ion mobility-mass spectrometry offers the potential for elucidating in real time the dynamic responses of small populations of cells to paracrine signals, changes in metabolite levels and delivery of drugs and toxins.

Because both MS and IM‐MS do not directly provide chiral selectivity, methodologies for adding a chiral selector are discussed in the context of (i) host–guest (H–G) associations, (ii) diastereomeric collision‐induced dissociation (CID) methods, (iii) ion–molecule reactions, and (iv) the kinetic method. MS techniques for the analysis of proteins and protein complexes are briefly described. New advances in performing rapid 2D gas‐phase separations on the basis of IM‐MS are reviewed with a particular emphasis on the different forms of IM instrumentation and how they are used for chiral and/or structural biomolecular studies. This report is not intended to be a comprehensive review of the field, but rather to underscore the contemporary techniques that are commonly or increasingly being used to complement measurements performed by chiroptical methodologies.
