Abstract
Glycerophosphoinositol (GroPIns) has been demonstrated to have important roles in many intracellular regulatory processes. GroPIns has been analysed for many years by anion-exchange HPLC after radiolabelling of cells in culture, but no method has been developed, to our knowledge, for the direct detection and quantitation of the unlabelled compound in such biological samples. Here is reported a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the direct quantitative analysis of GroPIns that can indeed be applied to cell extracts. Analyses were performed on a beta-cyclodextrin-bonded HPLC column using a binary mobile phase of acetonitrile and 20 mM ammonium formate in water, which allowed direct on-line detection by tandem mass spectrometry in negative electrospray ionisation (ESI) mode. The method was applied to the quantitative analysis of GroPIns in selected rat cell lines after a two-phase acid extraction of cultured cells using external calibration. The potential matrix signal suppression effects were investigated by the parallel quantitation of GroPIns in extracts of selected cultured cell lines with both external calibration and the standard additions method. The accuracy data obtained demonstrated the feasibility of external calibration, so allowing a simpler and less time-consuming approach than that of the standard additions method.

Abstract
Electrospray (ESI) collisional-activated dissociation (CAD) tandem mass spectrometric methods for the structural characterization of inositol phosphates (InsPs) using both quadrupole and sector mass spectrometers are described. Under low-energy CAD, the [M + H](+) ions of the positional isomers of inositol phosphates, including inositol mono-, bis- and trisphosphates, yield distinguishable product-ion spectra, which are readily applicable for isomer differentiation. In contrast, the product-ion spectra arising from high-energy CAD (2 keV collision energy, floating at 50%) tandem sector mass spectrometry are less applicable for isomer identification. The differences in the product-ion spectrum profiles among the aforementioned InsP isomers become more substantial and differentiation of positional isomers can be achieved when the collison energy is reduced to 1 keV (floating at 75%). These results demonstrate that the applied collision energies play a pivotal role in the fragmentations upon CAD. The product-ion spectra are similar among the positional isomers of inositol tetrakisphosphates and of inositol pentakisphosphates. Thus, isomeric distinction for these two inositol polyphosphate classes could not be established by the tandem mass spectrometric methods that have achieved such distinctions for the less highly phosphorylated inositol phosphate classes. Under both high- and low-energy CAD, the protonated molecular species of all InsPs undergo similar fragmentation pathways, which are dominated by the consecutive losses of H(2)O, HPO(3) and H(3)PO(4).

Abstract
A method for the determination of 1,2,6-inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and derivatives in plasma by capillary zone electrophoresis with (indirect) UV detection has been developed. The sample pretreatment is based on the selective isolation after complexation of inositol phosphates with iron(III) loaded on an adsorbent. Plasma protein denaturation was performed with sodium dodecyl sulfate. The selectivity of the method is demonstrated with the analysis of phenylacetate-IP3. The recoveries amount to 65% and 88% in plasma and in water, respectively.

Abstract
A microbore high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method is presented allowing rapid and sensitive mass analysis of inositol phosphates from cells and tissues. An analysis starting from inorganic phosphate up to inositol hexakisphosphate displaying a similar isomer selectivity as compared to the standard metal-dye detection system takes about 15 min. The detection sensitivity was about 15 pmol for inositol trisphosphate, about 10 pmol for inositol tetrakisphosphate, about 5 pmol for inositol pentakisphosphate and less than 5 pmol for inositol hexakisphosphate. The method was validated regarding day-to-day variations and variations at the same day of retention times and peak areas of standard inositol phosphates. Standard deviations of retention times ranged from 0.25 to 0.62% (same day) and from 0.64 to 1.61% (day-to-day variations). Ranges of standard deviations of peak areas were between 2.24% and 3.91% (same day) and 6.13% and 13.8% (day-to-day variations). Linearity of the post-column complexometric metal-dye detection system was demonstrated in the range of a few picomoles and at least 800 pmol. The method was applied to the analysis of inositol phosphates in Jurkat T-lymphocytes and assays from minute amounts of enzymes interconverting inositol phosphates. While measurements of inositol phosphates from cell extracts are now possible using significantly reduced cell numbers, micro-enzyme assays are feasible in reasonable repeated analysis times and with sufficient isomer selectivity. In conclusion, a substantial improvement towards speed of analysis and detection sensitivity of inositol phosphate mass analysis was achieved by microbore metal-dye detection HPLC.

Abstract
The addition of some surfactants to the fast-atom bombardment (FAB) matrix previously has been demonstrated to enhance analyte signals in fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry. In particular, cationic surfactants appear to enhance the negative ion FAB detectability of analytes that exist as anionic species in the matrix solution. It has been proposed that the charged surfactant concentrates the oppositely charged analyte near the surface, which results in larger signals for the analyte. Cationic surfactants that contain a fixed positive charge and an additional basic site were prepared with different hydrophobic moieties and were evaluated for their effectiveness as FAB matrix additives. The compound N-octylnico-tinium bromide (ONBr) is shown to improve greatly the analyte-related signals in negative ion fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry for a variety of polyanionic analytes, relative to other surfactants (e.g., cetylpyridinium salts). This surfactant not only enhances detectability, but also simplifies the pseudomolecular ion region of the resulting spectra by reducing or eliminating metal cation adduct peaks. The simple mechanism of enhancement via surface activity is evaluated, and alternative mechanisms are considered. It is clearly shown that ONBr, as a FAB matrix additive, will allow mass spectrometry to be used for the analysis of anionic compounds that normally exhibit very low responses.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for direct mass measurement of inositol 1-phosphate (I(1)P) in rat brain is described. Separation of I(1)P from its isomers and from endogenous components is achieved by polymeric anion-exchange chromatography with a sodium hydroxide/sodium acetate mobile phase. Detection is performed at high pH by pulsed amperometric detection at a gold electrode. Sample preparation involves liquid-liquid extraction and ion-exchange solid-phase extraction, prior to HPLC. The method is sufficiently sensitive and selective to enable facile determination of basal levels of I(1)P in small amounts of brain tissue. The applicability of the method is demonstrated by the in vivo monitoring of I(1)P levels in rat brain after administration of the inositol monophosphatase inhibitor lithium and the cholinergic agonist pilocarpine. The method is a significant improvement over existing published mass assays for I(1)P by virtue of its simplicity, speed, sensitivity, and ruggedness.

Abstract
Methods for the permethylation of inositol phosphates (i.e. the formation of the completely substituted C-O-methyl/P-O-methyl derivatives) have been studied as a precursor to preparing C-O-methyl inositols where the remaining inositol hydroxyl groups are at the positions originally occupied by the phosphomonoesters. Classical sodium-driven methylations, diazomethane methylations and methylation with methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate were studied and only the latter was found to produce completely alkylated inositol phosphates. Treatment of the permethylated substrates with methanolic HCl removed the dimethylphosphate groups to produce C-O-methyl inositols which are candidates for negative ion chemical ionization gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis as heptafluorobutyryl C-O-methyl inositols. As an example, gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis of myo-inositol 1,2,6-trisphosphate was carried out by methylation, dephosphorylation and conversion to the tris(heptafluorobutyryl) derivative. Detection at the low-femtomole level was achieved by this means. A limitation of the method may be that the methylation procedure appears to produce a variable degree of phosphate positional isomerization, with resulting loss of specificity. If stable isotope internal standards were available for the inositol polyphosphates of interest, this limitation could be compensated for.

Abstract
Thermospray mass spectrometry of inositol mono- and polyphosphates, separated by ion-exchange chromatography, was evaluated for its potential as a general method for quantitative analysis of these substances. The only ions of significant abundance that are produced by the thermospray ionization process result from the total loss of phosphate from inositol. Thus inositol mono-, tris- and hexakisphosphate each gave mass spectra consisting solely of [MH]+ and [MNH4]+ of inositol. When the chromatographic eluates are passed through a heated reactor prior to the thermospray source maximal yields of these ions are obtained. The sensitivity of the technique falls short of that needed for a general method for biological applications, because the lower limit of detection is about 100 pmol microliter-1. Inositol phosphates peracetylated on C-hydroxyls were also studied, with separation by ion-exchange chromatography. Again, thermospray ionization produces totally dephosphorylated species, with the highest-mass ions retaining all of the acetyl groups, even when using the thermal reactor. Losses of acetate were also observed. Sensitivity with the acetyl derivative was comparable to that with the underivatized inositol phosphates.

Abstract
LiCl-induced (5 mEq/kg) regional differences in the cerebral phosphoinositide (PI) cycle were studied by measuring inositol-1-phosphate (Ins-1-P), an intermediate in the PI cycle, in male Sprague Dawley and Han/Wistar rats by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Control Ins-1-P levels were higher frontally than caudally in both rat strains. LiCl increased Ins-1-P levels 1.8 to 7.4 fold in different regions of brain of Sprague Dawley rats but only 1.2 to 1.8 fold in Han/Wistar rats. This strain difference offers a way to compare the effects of lithium on PI metabolism versus receptor-G protein-phospholipase C coupling mechanisms.

Abstract
Interest in the inositol phospholipids was stimulated by the simultaneous discoveries that the products of hydrolysis of these lipids could serve as messengers to activate to synergistic signaling pathways in hormonally responsive cells, namely, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate which causes the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and diacylglycerol which promotes the activation of protein kinase C. At the same time, Berridge and co-workers introduced relatively simple approaches to study the inositol phospholipid cycle. These included the use of [3H]inositol to label the inositol metabolites, all of which are confined to this cycle, and of Li+ to decrease the rate of degradation of the inositol phosphates. Water-soluble inositol phosphates and chloroform-soluble inositol phospholipids could then be separated by solvent partition and the inositol phosphates further separated by use of an anion-exchange resin. However, the subsequent application of high-performance liquid chromatography as a separation technique indicated the existence of many isomers of the inositol phosphates formed by different pathways of dephosphorylation and phosphorylation. Mapping of these metabolic pathways may be substantially complete, but novel pathways may still be discovered. We review both old and new methods of analysis of the inositol phosphates for the measurement of mass and radioactivity. Although the complexity of the cycle sometimes demands the use of sophisticated methods of separation and rigorous identification, older and inexpensive methods may still be useful for some purposes.

Abstract
Regional levels of cerebral inositol-1-phosphate (Ins1P), an intermediate in phosphoinositide (PI) cycle, were readily detected with a new gas chromatographic (GC) method. GC analysis of trimethylsilyated Ins1P and myo-inositol-2-phosphate with a fused silica capillary SE-30 column and flame ionization detection was linear at picomolar range (pmol/microliter) with a sensitivity to a level of 2 pmol. Also, inositol monophosphates and glucose-6-phosphate are separated in unstimulated brain tissue. The mean recovery of the method is 98 +/- 5.2%. Ins1P levels were higher in frontal than in caudal regions in control brains. Lithium treatment increased the levels of Ins1P throughout the brain but mostly in frontal brain regions and in the hippocampus. The present GC assay to measure the accumulation of Ins1P, an index for the activity of PI signaling, may be suitable for exploring regional differences in cerebral receptor-coupled PI signalling in vivo.

Abstract
Commercially available Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 (C.I. 42660) is a popular and useful dye that stains most proteins blue on polyacrylamide gels. Some proteins from brain (rubrophilin), collagens, histones and parotid gland proteins are distinctly red when stained with Coomassie Blue. Commonly used Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 preparations may contain more than 30 distinct colored and fluorescent components that can be separated on silica gel chromatographic columns. A specific component has been isolated on silica gel columns that stains rubrophilin and other proline-rich proteins a reddish color. Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of the isolated rubrophilin staining principle indicates a molecular weight of 634 as compared to 826 for the major dye in the original Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250. Infrared spectrometry is consistent with a difference between the rubrophilin staining principle and Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 of a toluene sulfonic acid residue.

Abstract
In cerebral cortex of rats treated with increasing doses of LiCl, the relative concentrations of Ins(1)P, Ins(4)P and Ins(5)P (when InsP is a myo-inositol phosphate) are approx. 10:1:0.2 at all doses. In rats treated with LiCl followed by increasing doses of pilocarpine a similar relationship occurs. myo-Inositol-1-phosphatase (InsP1ase) from bovine brain hydrolyses Ins(1)P, Ins(4)P and Ins(5)P at comparable rates, and these substrates have similar Km values. The hydrolysis of Ins(4)P is inhibited by Li+ to a greater degree than is hydrolysis of Ins(1)P and Ins(5)P. D-Ins(1,4,5)P3 and D-Ins(1,4)P2 are neither substrates nor inhibitors of InsP1ase. A dialysed high-speed supernatant of rat brain showed a greater rate of hydrolysis of Ins(1)P than of D-Ins(1,4)P2 and a lower sensitivity of the bisphosphate hydrolysis to LiCl, as compared with the monophosphate. That enzyme preparation produced Ins(4)P at a greater rate than Ins(1)P when D-Ins(1,4)P2 was the substrate. The amount of D-Ins(3)P [i.e. L-Ins(1)P, possibly from D-Ins(1,3,4)P3] is only 11% of that of D-Ins(1)P on stimulation with pilocarpine in the presence of Li+. DL-Ins(1,4)P2 was hydrolysed by InsP1ase to the extent of about 50%; both Ins(4)P and Ins(1)P are products, the former being produced more rapidly than the latter; apparently L-Ins(1,4)P2 is a substrate for InsP1ase. Li+, but not Ins(2)P, inhibited the hydrolysis of L-Ins(1,4)P2. The following were neither substrates nor inhibitors of InsP1ase; Ins(1,6)P2, Ins(1,2)P2, Ins(1,2,5,6)P4, Ins(1,2,4,5,6)P5, Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 and phytic acid. myo-Inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate was neither substrate nor inhibitor of InsP1ase. We conclude that the 10-fold greater tissue contents of Ins(1)P relative to Ins(4)P in both stimulated and non-stimulated rat brain in vivo are the consequence of a much larger amount of PtdIns metabolism than polyphosphoinositide metabolism under these conditions.

Abstract
Our earlier evidence suggested that both acetylcholinesterase and alkaline phosphatase are anchored to the cell surface via covalently-attached phosphatidylinositol [Low, Futerman, Ferguson & Silman (1986) Trends Biochem. Sci. 11, 212-215]. We now present chemical data, based upon a nitrous acid deamination reaction, showing that in both proteins the phosphatidylinositol moiety is attached through a glycosidic linkage to a sugar residue bearing a free amino group.
