Acyl-coenyzme A thioesters (acyl-CoAs) are evolutionarily conserved, compartmentalized, and energetically activated substrates for biochemical reactions. The ubiquitous involvement of acyl-CoAs in metabolism, including the tricarboxylic acid cycle, fatty acid metabolism, amino acid degradation, and cholesterol metabolism highlights the broad applicability of applied measurements of acyl-CoAs. However, quantitation of acyl-CoA levels provides only one dimension of metabolic information and a more complete description of metabolism requires the relative contribution of different precursors to individual substrates and pathways. Using two distinct stable isotope labeling approaches, acyl-CoAs can be labeled with either a fixed [13C315N1] label derived from pantothenate into the CoA moiety, or via variable [13C] labeling into the acyl-chain from metabolic precursors. Liquid chromatography-hybrid quadrupole/Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry using parallel reaction monitoring, but not single ion monitoring, allowed the simultaneous quantitation of acyl-CoAs by stable isotope dilution using the [13C315N1] label and measurement of the incorporation of labeled carbon atoms derived from [13C6]-glucose, [13C515N2]-glutamine and [13C3]-propionate. As a proof-of-principle we applied this method to human B-cell lymphoma (WSU-DLCL2) cells in culture, to precisely describe the relative pool size and enrichment of isotopic tracers into acetyl-, succinyl-, and propionyl-CoA. This method will allow highly precise, multiplexed, and stable isotope resolved determination of metabolism to refine metabolic models, characterize novel metabolism, and test modulators of metabolic pathways involving acyl-CoAs.
