[PMID: 37985935 DOI: 10.1002/elps.202300139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
The oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (ox-PAPC) products in human high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) were investigated by low-flow capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (low-flow CE-MS). To accelerate the optimization, native PAPC (n-PAPC) standard was first analyzed by a commercial CE instrument with a photodiode array detector. The optimal separation buffer contained 60% (v/v) acetonitrile, 40% (v/v) methanol, 20 mM ammonium acetate, 0.5% (v/v) formic acid, and 0.1% (v/v) water. The selected separation voltage and capillary temperature were 20 kV and 23°C. The optimal CE separation buffer was then used for the low-flow CE-MS analysis. The selected MS conditions contained heated capillary temperature (250°C), capillary voltage (10 V), and injection time (1 s). No sheath gas was used for MS. The linear range for n-PAPC was 2.5-100.0 µg/mL. The coefficient of determination (R2 ) was 0.9918. The concentration limit of detection was 1.52 µg/mL, and the concentration limit of quantitation was 4.60 µg/mL. The optimal low-flow CE-MS method showed good repeatability and sensitivity. The ox-PAPC products in human HDLs were determined based on the in vitro ox-PAPC products of n-PAPC standard. Twenty-one ox-PAPC products have been analyzed in human HDLs. Uremic patients showed significantly higher levels of 15 ox-PAPC products than healthy subjects.

Abstract
Exogenous compounds and metabolites derived from therapeutics, microbiota, or environmental exposures directly interact with endogenous metabolic pathways, influencing disease pathogenesis and modulating outcomes of clinical interventions. With few spectral library references, the identification of covalently modified biomolecules, secondary metabolites, and xenobiotics is a challenging task using global metabolomics profiling approaches. Numerous liquid chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry (LC-MS) small molecule analytical workflows have been developed to curate global profiling experiments for specific compound groups of interest. These workflows exploit shared structural moiety, functional groups, or elemental composition to discover novel and undescribed compounds through nontargeted small molecule discovery pipelines. This Review introduces the concept of structure-oriented LC-MS discovery methodology and aims to highlight common approaches employed for the detection and characterization of covalently modified biomolecules, secondary metabolites, and xenobiotics. These approaches represent a combination of instrument-dependent and computational techniques to rapidly curate global profiling experiments to detect putative ions of interest based on fragmentation patterns, predictable phase I or phase II metabolic transformations, or rare elemental composition. Application of these methods is explored for the detection and identification of novel and undescribed biomolecules relevant to the fields of toxicology, pharmacology, and drug discovery. Continued advances in these methods expand the capacity for selective compound discovery and characterization that promise remarkable insights into the molecular interactions of exogenous chemicals with host biochemical pathways.

Abstract
A simple and fast low-flow capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (low-flow CE-MS) method has been developed to analyze oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (ox-PAPC) products in human very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs). Native PAPC standard was analyzed to optimize the low-flow CE-MS method. The optimal CE conditions included separation buffer (60% (v/v) acetonitrile, 40% (v/v) methanol, 0.1% (v/v) water, 0.5% (v/v) formic acid, 20 mM ammonium acetate), sheath liquid (60% (v/v) acetonitrile, 40% (v/v) methanol, 0.1% (v/v) water, 20 mM ammonium acetate), separation voltage (20 kV), separation capillary internal diameter (i.d.) (75 µm), separation capillary temperature (23˚C) and sample injection time (6 s). The selected MS conditions included heated capillary temperature (250°C), capillary voltage (10 V), and injection time (1 s). Sheath gas was not used in this study. The total ion chromatograms (TICs), extracted ion chromatograms (EICs) and MS spectra of native PAPC standard and its in vitro oxidation products showed good repeatability and sensitivity. To determine the ox-PAPC products in human VLDLs, the EICs and MS spectra of VLDLs were compared with the in vitro oxidation products of native PAPC standard. For native PAPC standard, the measured linear range was 2.5 - 100.0 µg/mL, and the coefficients of determination (R2) was 0.9994. The concentration limit of detection (LOD) was 0.44 µg/mL, and the concentration limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 1.34 µg/mL. A total of 21 ox-PAPC products were analyzed for the VLDLs of healthy and uremic subjects. The levels of 7 short-chain and 5 long-chain ox-PAPC products on uremic VLDLs were significantly higher than healthy VLDLs. This simple low-flow CE-MS method might be a good alternative for LC-MS for the analysis of ox-PAPC products. Furthermore, it might also help scientists to expedite the search for uremic biomarkers.

Abstract
A simple liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS) method has been developed to analyze oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (ox-PAPC) products on the lipoproteins of uremic patients. The native PAPC standard was in vitro oxidized by the Fenton reaction, and the ox-PAPC products were analyzed by LC- ESI/MS. For LC, a C8 column and a mobile phase (acetonitrile-isopropanol containing 0.1% formic acid (70:30, v/v)) were selected. For ESI/MS, the optimal conditions included sheath gas pressure (10 psi), capillary temperature (270 °C), and injection time (1000 ms). The identification of ox-PAPC products on human lipoproteins was based on the extracted ion chromatograms (EICs) and the ESI-MS spectra of the in vitro oxidation products of PAPC standard. The EICs and ESI-MS spectra showed good repeatability and sensitivity. A total of 21 ox-PAPC products was determined. Linear analysis has been performed for the phospholipid standard, 1, 2-Di-O-hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PC(O-16:0/O-16:0)). The linear range was 5.0–100.0 µg/mL, and the coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.989. The concentration limit of detection (LOD) was 1.50 µg/mL, and the concentration limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 4.54 µg/mL. The selected 21 ox-PAPC products have been identified and quantified in very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) of uremic and healthy subjects. Interestingly, the results showed that the levels of 18 products in VLDL, one product in LDL, and 19 products in HDL were significantly higher for uremic patients than healthy controls. This simple LC-ESI/MS method might accelerate the searching for biomarkers of uremia in the future.

Abstract
Chamaecrista diphylla (L.) Greene (Fabaceae/Caesalpiniaceae) is a herbaceous plant that is widely distributed throughout the Americas. Plants from this genus have been used in traditional medicine as a laxative, to heal wounds, and to treat ulcers, snake and scorpion bites. In the present study, we investigated the chemical composition of Chamaecrista diphylla leaves through a mass spectrometry molecular network approach. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) for the ethanolic extract, enriched fractions and isolated compounds was assessed. Overall, thirty-five compounds were annotated for the first time in C. diphylla. Thirty-two of them were reported for the first time in the genus. The isolated compounds 9, 12, 24 and 33 showed an excellent antioxidant capacity, superior to the extract and enriched fractions. Bond dissociation energy calculations were performed to explain and sustain the antioxidant capacity found. According to our results, the leaves of C. diphylla represent a promising source of potent antioxidant compounds.

Abstract
Frying allows cooking food while promoting their organoleptic properties, imparting crunchiness and flavor. The drawback is the oxidation of triacylglycerides (TAGs), leading to the formation of primary oxidized TAGs. Although they have been associated with chronic and degenerative diseases, they are precursors of pleasant flavors in fried foods. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge about the oxidation species present in foods and their involvement in positive/negative health effects. In this work, high-resolution (HR) C30 reversed-phase (RP)-liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem HR mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was used to identify primary oxidation TAGs resulting from heating triolein (160 °C, 5 min). This allows simulating the initial heating process of frying oils usually used to prepare fried foods, such as chips, crisps, and snacks. Beyond hydroxy, dihydroxy, hydroperoxy, and hydroxy-hydroperoxy derivatives, already reported in phospholipids oxidized by Fenton reaction, new compounds were identified, such as dihydroxy-hydroperoxy-triolein derivatives and positional isomers (9/10- and 9/12-dihydroxy-triolein derivatives). These compounds should be considered when proposing flavor formation pathways and/or mitigating lipid-derived reactive oxygen species occurring during food frying.

Abstract
In the eye lens cell membrane, the lipid composition changes during the aging process: the proportion of sphingomyelins (SM) increases, that of phosphatidylcholines decreases. To investigate the protective role of the SMs in the lens cell membrane against oxidative damage, analytical techniques such as electrochemistry, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were applied. Supported lipid bilayers (SLB) were prepared to mimic the lens cell membrane with different fractions of PLPC/SM (PLPC: 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine). The SLBs were treated with cold physical plasma. A protective effect of 30% and 44% in the presence of 25%, and 75% SM in the bilayer was observed, respectively. PLPC and SM oxidation products were determined via HR-MS for SLBs after plasma treatment. The yield of fragments gradually decreased as the SM ratio increased. Topographic images obtained by AFM of PLPC-bilayers showed SLB degradation and pore formation after plasma treatment, no degradation was observed in PLPC/SM bilayers. The results of all techniques confirm the protective role of SM in the membrane against oxidative damage and support the idea that the SM content in lens cell membrane is increased during aging in the absence of effective antioxidant systems to protect the eye from oxidative damage and to prolong lens transparency.

Abstract
Flavor is an essential quality characteristic of soymilk. (E)-2-Heptenal has a fatty and fruity flavor with the sensory threshold value of 13 μg/L in water. This study demonstrated that the formation of (E)-2-heptenal was independent of the lipoxygenase (LOX) and hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) activity as well as oxygen concentration but was related to the presence/absence of Fe2+ and chelators. In a dry matter base, soybean hypocotyls generated a much higher amount of (E)-2-heptenal than cotyledons. A phospholipid hydroperoxide was purified from the chloroform/methanol extract of soybean hypocotyls and was identified as 1-palmitoyl-2-(12-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoyl)-sn-glycerol-3-phosphatidylethanol-amine (12-PEOOH). The decomposition of 12-PEOOH in the presence of ferrous ions to form (E)-2-heptenal was studied in a model system. The rate of decomposition decreased sharply at pH values higher than 6, but the molar conversion of 12-PEOOH to (E)-2-heptenal increased with an increase of pH. At a constant pH of 5.8, the decomposition rate of 12-PEOOH was positively linearly related to the Fe2+ concentration, while the molar conversion to (E)-2-heptenal was 74% and independent of the Fe2+ concentration. The formation of radicals LOO• and R• showed similar pH and Fe2+ concentration dependence with those of (E)-2-heptenal. (E)-2-Heptenal displayed an enhancement of bean aroma and fruity flavor of soymilk at low concentrations, but a fatty flavor was noticed at high concentrations.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), e.g. generated by cold physical plasma (CPP) or photodynamic therapy, interfere with redox signaling pathways of mammalian cells, inducing downstream consequences spanning from migratory impairment to apoptotic cell death. However, the more austere impact of RONS on cancer cells remains yet to be clarified. In the present study, a combination of electrochemistry and high-resolution mass spectrometry was developed to investigate the resilience of solid-supported lipid bilayers towards plasma-derived reactive species in dependence of their composition. A 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) lipid bilayer was undisturbed by 200 µM H2O2 (control) but showed full permeability after CPP treatment and space-occupying oxidation products such as PoxnoPC, PAzePC, and POPC hydroperoxide were found. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrated the presence of hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion/hydroperoxyl radicals during the treatment. In contrast, small amounts of the intramembrane antioxidant coenzyme Q10 protected the bilayer to 50% and LysoPC was the only POPC derivative found, confirming the membrane protective effect of Q10. Such, the lipid membrane composition including the presence of antioxidants determines the impact of pro-oxidant signals. Given the differences in membrane composition of cancer and healthy cells, this supports the application of cold physical plasma for cancer treatment. In addition, the developed model using the combination of electrochemistry and mass spectrometry could be a promising method to study the effect of reactive species or mixes thereof generated by chemical or physical sources.

Abstract
Individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and periodontitis as a co-morbidity have a higher mortality rate than individuals with CKD and no periodontitis. The inflammatory burden associated with both diseases contributes to an increased risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We previously demonstrated that periodontitis is associated with increasing circulating markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. We propose that inflammatory oxidised phosphocholines may contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with CKD. However, the analysis of oxidised phospholipids has been limited by a lack of authentic standards for absolute quantification. Here, we have developed a comprehensive quantification liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based multiple reaction monitoring method for oxidised phospholipids (including some without available authentic species) that enables us to simultaneously measure twelve oxidised phosphatidylcholine species with high levels of sensitivity and specificity. The standard curves for commercial standards 1-palmitoyl-2-glutaroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (PGPC); 1-palmitoyl-2-(9'-oxo-nonanoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (PONPC), 1-palmitoyl-2-azelaoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (PAzPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-(5'-oxo-valeroyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (POVPC), were linear with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.99 for all analytes. The method is reproducible, with intra- and inter-day precision <15%, and accuracy within ±5% of nominal values for all analytes. This method has been successfully applied to investigate oxidised phosphatidylcholine in plasma from CKD patients with and without chronic periodontitis and the data that was obtained has been compared to plasma from healthy controls. Comparative analysis demonstrates altered chain fragmented phosphatidylcholine profiles in the plasma samples of patients with CKD and periodontitis as a co-morbidity compared to healthy controls.

Analysis of oxidised and glycated aminophospholipids: Complete structural characterisation by C30 liquid chromatography-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry. Free Radic Biol Med 2019; 144:144-155. [PMID: 31150763 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2019.05.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2019] [Revised: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 05/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The aminophospholipids (APL), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS) are widely present in cell membranes and lipoproteins. Glucose and reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as the hydroxyl radical (•OH), can react with APL leading to an array of oxidised, glycated and glycoxidised derivatives. Modified APL have been implicated in inflammatory diseases and diabetes, and were identified as signalling molecules regulating cell death. However, the biological relevance of these molecules has not been completely established, since they are present in very low amounts, and new sensitive methodologies are needed to detect them in biological systems. Few studies have focused on the characterisation of APL modifications using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), mainly using C5 or C18 reversed phase (RP) columns. In the present study, we propose a new analytical approach for the characterisation of complex mixtures of oxidised, glycated and glycoxidised PE and PS. This LC approach was based on a reversed-phase C30 column combined with high-resolution MS, and higher energy C-trap dissociation (HCD) MS/MS. C30 RP-LC separated short and long fatty acyl oxidation products, along with glycoxidised APL bearing oxidative modifications on the glucose moiety and the fatty acyl chains. Functional isomers (e.g. hydroxy-hydroperoxy-APL and tri-hydroxy-APL) and positional isomers (e.g. 9-hydroxy-APL and 13-hydroxy-APL) were also discriminated by the method. HCD fragmentation patterns allowed unequivocal structural characterisation of the modified APL, and are translatable into targeted MS/MS fingerprinting of the modified derivatives in biological samples.

Abstract
Phospholipids (PLs) are important biomolecules that not only constitute structural building blocks and scaffolds of cell and organelle membranes but also play a vital role in cell biochemistry and physiology. Moreover, dietary exogenous PLs are characterised by high nutritional value and other beneficial health effects, which are confirmed by numerous epidemiological studies. For this reason, PLs are of high interest in lipidomics that targets both the analysis of membrane lipid distribution as well as correlates composition of lipids with their effects on functioning of cells, tissues and organs. Lipidomic assessments follow-up the changes occurring in living organisms, such as free radical attack and oxidative modifications of the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) build in PL structures. Oxidised PLs (oxPLs) can be generated exogenously and supplied to organisms with processed food or formed endogenously as a result of oxidative stress. Cellular and tissue oxPLs can be a biomarker predictive of the development of numerous diseases such as atherosclerosis or neuroinflammation. Therefore, suitable high-throughput analytical techniques, which enable comprehensive analysis of PL molecules in terms of the structure of hydrophilic group, fatty acid (FA) composition and oxidative modifications of FAs, have been currently developed. This review addresses all aspects of PL analysis, including lipid isolation, chromatographic separation of PL classes and species, as well as their detection. The bioinformatic tools that enable handling of a large amount of data generated during lipidomic analysis are also discussed. In addition, imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy and mass spectrometry imaging for analysis of cellular lipid maps, including membrane PLs, are presented.

Abstract
Sphingolipids have been considered for many years only as structural components of membranes. It is now acknowledged that they are also involved in controlling cellular processes such as proliferation.The present work was designed to find the anticancer activity of the crab Dromia dehanni hemolymph in in-vivo and in vitro with special reference to the anticancer compound sphingolipids isolation and characterization. The active fraction of the purified hemolymph was subjected to NMR and ESI-MS/MS analysis. The ESI-MS/MS spectrum exhibited intense signals for sodiated molecular ions [M + Na]+ of sphingomyelins (SM) identified as N-2-O-Acetyl-12 pentadecenoyl sphingosine phosphorylcholine, N-9-eicosenoyl- sphinganine phosphocholine and the corresponding dehydro sphingomyelin, N-9-eicosenoyl- dehydro- sphinganine phosphocholine along with the ions at m/z 147, 184 characteristic of phosphocholine. The present study revealed D. dehaani might be a great source for the novel anti-cancer compounds which can be used for human benefits.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine oxidation is closely related to many neurodegenerative diseases. In this paper, Raman spectroscopy was proposed to continuously monitor the oxidation of phosphatidylcholine and provide deep understanding of this biochemical process. To increase the detection sensitivity, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with a micro-nanosilver-complex substrate was prepared by electrodeposition. The prepared SERS substrate had an enhancement factor as high as 7.8 × 107, ensuring detection sensitivity in the phosphatidylcholine-oxidation process. It was illustrated that the oxidation of phosphatidylcholine in an ethanol-water solution under the experimental conditions could be monitored and well described by second-order kinetics by continuously measuring and analyzing the SERS spectra of phosphatidylcholine-oxidation intermediates in 20 days. Meanwhile, the oxidation products were confirmed by mass spectrometry, and the oxidation process was in good concordance with mass-spectrometry detection. The use of SERS in following a biochemical process has advantages, including simple instrumentation, a low cost, a short detection time, and no sample pretreatment. Therefore, as a kind of vibration spectrum, SERS is preferable to traditional detection approaches such as MS, HPLC, and MRI for the dynamic monitoring and analysis of complex biochemical processes.

Abstract
Phospholipid peroxidation products are recognized as important bioactive lipid mediators playing an active role as modulators in signalling events in inflammation, immunity and infection. The biochemical responses are determined by the oxidation structural features present in oxPL modulating biophysical and biological properties in model membranes and lipoproteins. In spite of the extensive work conducted with model systems over the last 20 years, the study of oxPL in biological systems has virtually stagnated. In fact, very little is known concerning the predominant oxPL in fluids and tissues, their basal levels, and any variations introduced with age, gender and ethnicity in health and disease. In consequence, knowledge on oxPL has not yet translated into clinical diagnostic, in the early and timely diagnosis of "silent" diseases such as atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, or as prognosis tools in disease stratification and particularly useful in the context of multimorbidities. Their use as therapeutic solutions or the development of innovative functional biomaterials remains to be explored. This review summarizes the achievements made in the identification of oxPL revealing an enormous structural diversity. A brief overview of the challenges associated with the analysis of such diverse array of products is given and a critical evaluation on key aspects in the analysis pipeline that need to be addressed. Once these issues are addressed, Oxidative Phospholipidomics will hopefully lead to major breakthrough discoveries in biochemistry, pharmaceutical, and clinical areas for the upcoming 20 years. This article is part of Special Issue entitled 4-Hydroxynonenal and Related Lipid Oxidation Products.

Abstract
Under nitroxidative stress conditions, lipids are prone to be modified by reaction with reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and different modifications were reported to occur in fatty acids. However, in the case of phospholipids (PL) studied under nitroxidative stress conditions, only nitroalkene derivatives of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), were reported when using both in vitro biomimetic conditions and in vivo model system of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, in order to further explore other nitroxidative modifications of PL, a biomimetic model of nitroxidation combined with liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (MS) and MS/MS approaches were used to characterize the nitrated and nitroxidized derivatives of PCs and PEs. Single and multiple nitrated derivatives of phospholipids (PLs) such as nitroso and dinitroso, nitro, dinitro, and nitronitroso derivatives, together with nitroxidized derivatives were identified. Further, the specific MS/MS fragmentation pathways of these products were studied. Product ions arising from loss of HNO and HNO2, from the combined loss of HNO (or HNO2) and polar head groups, [NOn-FA+On+H]+ and [NOn-FA+On-H]- (n=1-2) product ions corresponding to the modified fatty acyl chains were observed, depending on each modification. The knowledge obtained from the study of the MS/MS fragmentation pattern has allowed us to identify nitrated PCs, including NO2-PC, (NO2)2-PCs, (NO2)(NO)-PC, NO-PC; nitrated PEs, NO2-PEs; and nitroxidized PCs, (NO2)(2O)-PC in H9c2 cells under starvation, but not under ischemia or control conditions. The physiological relevance of this nitrated and nitroxidized PCs and PEs species observed exclusively in cardiomyoblast cells (H9c2) under starvation is still unknown but deserves to be explored.

Abstract
Oxidized (phospho)lipids are of paramount interest for different reasons: besides their in vivo relevance as markers of inflammatory diseases, they are often needed in the laboratory to study the response of selected cells to oxidized lipids. Mass spectrometry (MS) is nowadays one of the most powerful methods to identify lipid oxidation products. Although MALDI and ESI MS are both widely used, it is so far not clear whether all potential phospholipid oxidation products can be detected by both methods This aspect will be studied here using NaMnO4-oxidized phosphatidylcholine 16:0/18:1 and 16:0/18:2 as simple, but reliable model systems. We will show that chain-shortened products such as aldehydes and carboxylic acids (generated by cleavage at the double bond position) can be easily detected by both ionization methods: without the need of any derivatization. However, primary oxidation products such as hydroperoxides can be predominantly detected by ESI MS while MALDI-TOF MS detects secondary oxidation products derived thereof more sensitively. Potential reasons for these differences will be discussed and put in the context of biological mixture analysis.

Abstract
Cinnamylideneacetophenones (CA) are an important group of α,β,γ,δ-diunsaturated ketones that have been widely used in a variety of synthetic transformations. Biological studies concerning these compounds are scarce and refer mainly to antiviral and antibacterial evaluations. Curcumin (CR), a natural polyphenol, is a yellow pigment extracted from the plant Curcuma longa, which is one of the major spices used in the Indian culinary. It has been reported that CR has cancer chemopreventive properties in a range of animal models of chemical carcinogenesis, along with antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. Inspired by the biological activity shown by CR and their structural resemblance with CA, it was considered to study the ability of the latter molecules to inhibit lipid oxidation induced by the hydroxyl radical (Fenton reaction) by electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) using phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes as a model of cell membrane. Compound 4, holding a methylated hydroxy group in the position R(2), and CR showed similar effects in inhibiting lipid peroxidation. In the presence of 7, the extension of oxidation was higher than the one verified in all other compounds. Other methodologies, namely DPPH radical scavenging and oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC) assays, were performed to complement and clarify the results attained by oxidation of PC monitored by ESI-MS and to evaluate the antioxidant profile of compounds. For both assays, compound 7 showed to be rather efficient due to its specific structure. This derivative can form a quite stable allylic radical by abstraction of a hydrogen atom which accounts for these results.

Abstract
Over the last decade, the number of studies reporting the use of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in combination with collision cells (or other activation methods) to promote fragmentation of synthetic and natural products for structural elucidation purposes has considerably increased. However, the lack of a systematic compilation of the gas-phase fragmentation reactions subjected to ESI-MS/MS conditions still represents a challenge and has led to many misunderstood results in the literature. This review article exploits the most common fragmentation reactions for ions generated by ESI in positive and negative modes using collision cells in an effort to stimulate the use of this technique by non-specialists, undergraduate students and researchers in related areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The involvement of lipids in carcinogenic and developmental processes has been reported in some malignancies, but their roles in gastric cancer remain to be analyzed. In this study, we compared the lipid content of gastric cancer tissue and adjacent nonneoplastic mucosa using imaging mass spectrometry. METHODS Mass spectra were acquired from 12 sections of human gastric cancer tissue and adjacent nonneoplastic mucosa using a matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry type mass spectrometer equipped with a 355 nm Nd:YAG laser. Protein expression of lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1), which converts lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) to phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the presence of acyl-CoA in Lands' cycle, was immunohistochemically analyzed in 182 gastric cancer specimens. RESULTS The averaged mass spectra from the cancer tissue and nonneoplastic mucosa were identical. Most of the signals that differed between cancer tissue and nonneoplastic mucosa corresponded to phospholipids, the majority of which were PC and LPC. Two signals, m/z 798.5 and 496.3, were higher and lower, respectively, in cancer tissues, predominantly in differentiated adenocarcinoma. A database search enabled identification of the ions at m/z 798.5 and m/z 496.3 as potassium-adducted PC (16:0/18:1) and proton-adducted LPC (16:0), respectively. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that LPCAT1 was highly expressed in cancer lesions compared to nonneoplastic mucosa, predominantly in differentiated adenocarcinoma. LPCAT1 expression levels correlated positively with tumor differentiation and negatively with tumor depth, lymph node metastasis, and tumor stage. CONCLUSIONS Overexpressed LPCAT1 protein in gastric mucosa appears to play important roles in the tumorigenic process of gastric cancer by converting LPC to PC.

Abstract
RATIONALE Glycosphingolipids are important lipid molecules namely as constituents of the plasma membrane organized in lipid rafts, in signal transduction, and cell-cell communication. Although many human diseases are associated with oxidative stress and lipid oxidation, a link between oxidative stress and modification of glycosphingolipids has never been addressed. METHODS In this study, the structural changes caused by UVA-induced photooxidation of galactosyl- (GalCer) and lactosylceramide (LacCer) molecular species were studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS and MS/MS), using a quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) mass spectrometer and high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry with a C5 stationary phase (C5 HPLC/MS/MS) using a linear ion trap. RESULTS ESI-MS spectra of GalCer and LacCer after photooxidation showed new ions with a mass shift of +32 Da when compared with the ions of the non-modified glycosphingolipids. These new species were assigned as hydroperoxyl derivatives, confirmed by HPLC/MS/MS and through FOX 2 assay. In the ESI-MS and LC/MS of lactosylceramide a new ion with lower m/z value, assigned as glucosylceramide (GlcCer) + 32 Da, was also detected and proposed to be formed due to oxidative cleavage of lactosyl moieties. ESI-MS/MS of the oxidized species allowed us to infer the presence of isomeric hydroperoxyl derivatives, with the hydroperoxyl moiety either linked to the sphingosine backbone or in the unsaturated acyl chain. Oxidation in the sugar moieties was observed in the case of LacCer, suggesting an oxidation via radical reactive oxygen species that can induce the oxidative cleavage of the lactosyl moiety. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that glycosphingolipids are prone to oxidation and the identified mass spectrometry fingerprint of oxidized galactosyl- and lactosylceramide species will support their future identification in lipidomic studies of biological samples under oxidative conditions.

Abstract
The present study concerns the identification of nine thus-far unknown derivatives of carminic acid extracted from pre-Columbian Peruvian textiles dyed with American cochineal—these derivatives are not found in commercially available preparations of the dye. These compounds probably represent a unique fingerprint of dyed textiles from this region, as they have never been reported to occur in other fabrics of historical value. They were separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (phenyl column) and detected using a UV/vis spectrophotometer and two tandem mass spectrometers. Peaks observed in chromatograms registered at 450 and 500 nm were further identified by ESI QqQ MS (mainly in the negative ion mode), supported by high-resolution ESI QIT/ToF MS data. The characteristic fragmentation pathways of isolated carminic acid and its derivatives provided additional information concerning lost neutrals and thus the functional groups and substituents present in the parent molecules. This information mainly related to multiple cleavages of the hexoside moiety (initially cross-ring cleavage), which are characteristic of C-glucosides (loss of 90, 120, and 148 Da). This is accompanied by the elimination of H2O as well as the further loss of 60 Da from the hexoside moiety. Moreover, other losses from the carbonyl groups (44 Da from CO2 loss, 62 Da from ethylene glycol loss, 32 Da from O2 loss, 138 Da from hydroxybenzoic acid, and 120 Da from oxomethylene cyclohexadienone) provided more specific information about structures of the identified derivatives of carminic acid.

Abstract
The oxidation of α-(1 → 5)-L-arabinotriose (Ara3), an oligosaccharide structurally related to side chains of coffee arabinogalactans, was studied in reaction with hydroxyl radicals generated under conditions of Fenton reaction (Fe(2+)/H2O2). The acidic and neutral oxidation products were separated by ligand exchange/size-exclusion chromatography, subsequently identified by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and structurally characterised by tandem MS (ESI-MS/MS). In acidic fraction were identified several oxidation products containing an acidic residue at the corresponding reducing end of Ara3, namely arabinonic acid, and erythronic, glyceric and glycolic acids formed by oxidative scission of the furanose ring. In neutral fractions were identified derivatives containing keto, hydroxy and hydroperoxy moieties, as well as derivatives resulting from the ring scission at the reducing end of Ara3. In both acidic and neutral fractions, beyond the trisaccharide derivatives, the corresponding di- and monosaccharide derivatives were identified indicating the occurrence of oxidative depolymerisation. The structural characterisation of these oxidation products by ESI-MS/MS allowed the differentiation of isobaric and isomeric species of acidic and neutral character. The species identified in this study may help in detection of roasting products associated with the free radical-mediated oxidation of coffee arabinogalactans.

Abstract
Phospholipid oxidation has been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of numerous age-related and neurodegenerative diseases. Despite these implications, this broad class of biomolecules remains poorly characterized. In this work, the fragmentation patterns of [M + H](+) and [M + Na](+) ions of intact phosphatidylcholine oxidation products (OxPCs) were characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI MS(n), n = 2, 3, and 4). MS(2) of both the [M + H](+) and [M + Na](+) ions of short-chain OxPCs yielded product ions related to the PC headgroup and the fatty acid substituents. MS(3) of the [M + Na - N(CH3)3](+) ions yielded fragmentation indicative of the OxPC modification; specifically, a product ion corresponding to the neutral loss of CO2 (NL of 44) was observed for OxPCs containing a terminal carboxylic acid rather than an aldehyde. Furthermore, MS(4) of the [M + Na - HPO4(CH2)2N(CH3)3](+) ions resulted in fragmentation pathways dependent on the sn-2 fatty acid chain length and type of functional group(s). Specifically, CHO-containing OxPCs with palmitic acid esterified to the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone yielded a NL of 254, 2 u less than the nominal mass of palmitic acid, whereas the analogous terminal COOH-containing OxPCs demonstrated a NL of 256. Finally, the presence of a γ-ketone relative to the terminal carboxyl group resulted in C-C bond cleavages along the sn-2 substituent, providing diagnostic product ions for keto-containing OxPCs. This work illustrates the enhanced selectivity afforded by MS(n) on the linear ion trap and develops a method for the identification of individual products of PC oxidation.

Abstract
Protein lipoxidation refers to the modification by electrophilic lipid oxidation products to form covalent adducts, which for many years has been considered as a deleterious consequence of oxidative stress. Oxidized lipids or phospholipids containing carbonyl moieties react readily with lysine to form Schiff bases; alternatively, oxidation products containing α,β-unsaturated moieties are susceptible to nucleophilic attack by cysteine, histidine or lysine residues to yield Michael adducts, overall corresponding to a large number of possible protein adducts. The most common detection methods for lipoxidized proteins take advantage of the presence of reactive carbonyl groups to add labels, or use antibodies. These methods have limitations in terms of specificity and identification of the modification site. The latter question is satisfactorily addressed by mass spectrometry, which enables the characterization of the adduct structure. This has allowed the identification of lipoxidized proteins in physiological and pathological situations. While in many cases lipoxidation interferes with protein function, causing inhibition of enzymatic activity and increased immunogenicity, there are a small number of cases where lipoxidation results in gain of function or activity. For certain proteins lipoxidation may represent a form of redox signaling, although more work is required to confirm the physiological relevance and mechanisms of such processes. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Posttranslational Protein modifications in biology and Medicine.

Abstract
Lipids are important in several biological processes because they act as signalling and regulating molecules, or, locally, as membrane components that modulate protein function. This paper reports the pattern of lipid composition of dendritic cells (DCs), a cell type of critical importance in inflammatory and immune responses. After activation by antigens, DCs undergo drastic phenotypical and functional transformations, in a process known as maturation. To better characterize this process, changes of lipid profile were evaluated by use of a lipidomic approach. As an experimental model of DCs, we used a foetal skin-derived dendritic cell line (FSDC) induced to mature by treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The results showed that LPS treatment increased ceramide (Cer) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) levels and reduced sphingomyelin (SM) and phosphatidylinositol (PI) content. Mass spectrometric analysis of a total lipid extract and of each class of lipids revealed that maturation promoted clear changes in ceramide profile. Quantitative analysis enabled identification of an increase in the total ceramide content and enhanced Cer at m/z 646.6, identified as Cer(d18:1/24:1), and at m/z 648.6, identified as Cer(d18:1/24:0). The pattern of change of these lipids give an extremely rich source of data for evaluating modulation of specific lipid species triggered during DC maturation.

Abstract
This report focuses on studies of lipid peroxidation products reactivity towards the side chains of cysteine, histidine, and lysine residues in structurally unordered peptides. Thus we have analyzed linoleic acid peroxidation products (LaPP) obtained by incubating 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycerophosphatidylcholine (PLPC) overnight with or without H(2)O(2) in the presence or absence of CuCl. In total, 55 different LaPP were identified with 26 containing reactive carbonyl groups. The strongest oxidation conditions (H(2)O(2) and Cu(I), i.e. a Fenton-like reagent) yielded 51 LaPP, whereas air oxidation produced only 12 LaPP. Independent of the oxidation conditions, around half of all LaPP were short-chain (oxidative cleavage) and the others long-chain (oxygen addition) PLPC oxidation products. The stronger oxidation conditions increased the number of LaPP, but also oxidized the added peptide Ac-PAAPAAPAPAEXTPV-OH (X=Cys, His or Lys) very quickly, especially under Fenton conditions. Thus, PLPC was oxidized by milder conditions (air or Cu(I)), incubated with the peptide and the peptide modifications were then analyzed by nano-RPC-ESI-Orbitrap-MS. Ten LaPP-derived peptide modifications were identified at lysine, whereas nine products were identified for cysteine and only three for histidine. Three high molecular weight LaPP still esterified to the GPC backbone were detected on Lys-containing peptide. Furthermore, three LaPP-derived mass shifts were obtained at cysteine, which have not previously been reported.

Non-oxidized phosphatidylserine (PS) is known to play a key role in apoptosis but there is considerable research evidence suggesting that oxidized PS also plays a role in this event, leading to the increasing interest in studying PS oxidative modifications. In this work, different PS (1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (PLPS), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (POPS), and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (DPPS) were oxidized in vitro by hydroxyl radical, generated under Fenton reaction conditions, and the reactions were monitored by ESI-MS in negative mode. Oxidation products were then fractionated by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and characterized by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). This approach allowed the identification of hydroxyl, peroxy, and keto derivatives due to oxidation of unsaturated fatty acyl chains. Oxidation products due to oxidation of serine polar head were also identified. These products, with lower molecular weight than the non-modified PS, were identified as [M - 29 - H](-) (terminal acetic acid), [M - 30 - H](-) (terminal acetamide), [M - 13 - H](-) (terminal hydroperoxyacetaldehyde), and [M - 13 - H](-) (terminal hydroxyacetaldehyde plus hydroxy fatty acyl chain). Phosphatidic acid was also formed in these conditions. These findings confirm the oxidation of the serine polar head induced by the hydroxyl radical. The identification of these modifications may be a valuable tool to evaluate phosphatidylserine alteration under physiopathologic conditions and also to help understand the biological role of phosphatidylserine oxidation in the apoptotic process and other biological functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leprosy is a disease of the skin and peripheral nervous system caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. The clinical presentations of leprosy are spectral, with the severity of disease determined by the balance between the cellular and humoral immune response of the host. The exact mechanisms that facilitate disease susceptibility, onset and progression to certain clinical phenotypes are presently unclear. Various studies have examined lipid metabolism in leprosy, but there has been limited work using whole metabolite profiles to distinguish the clinical forms of leprosy. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study we adopted a metabolomics approach using high mass accuracy ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) to investigate the circulatory biomarkers in newly diagnosed untreated leprosy patients. Sera from patients having bacterial indices (BI) below 1 or above 4 were selected, subjected to UPLC-MS, and then analyzed for biomarkers which distinguish the polar presentations of leprosy. We found significant increases in the abundance of certain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and phospholipids in the high-BI patients, when contrasted with the levels in the low-BI patients. In particular, the median values of arachidonic acid (2-fold increase), eicosapentaenoic acid (2.6-fold increase) and docosahexaenoic acid (1.6-fold increase) were found to be greater in the high-BI patients. SIGNIFICANCE Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are known to exert anti-inflammatory properties, while arachidonic acid has been reported to have both pro- and anti-inflammatory activities. The observed increase in the levels of several lipids in high-BI patients may provide novel clues regarding the biological pathways involved in the immunomodulation of leprosy. Furthermore, these results may lead to the discovery of biomarkers that can be used to investigate susceptibility to infection, facilitate early diagnosis and monitor the progression of disease.

Abstract
Phospholipids of in vitro oxidized human low-density lipoproteins (LDL) were separated by two different solid-phase extraction (SPE) methods. One of the two methods was designed to test the effects of gradient elution. This SPE method isolated more phospholipids from in vitro oxidized LDL than the other one according to the results of liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC ESI-MS) analysis. A micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) method was also used to analyze phospholipids separated by SPE. The results of MEKC and LC ESI-MS were consistent for the major phospholipid classes, including PC, lysoPC, PE, PI and PS. The MEKC profiles showed significant differences for native and oxidized LDL phospholipids. Therefore, the unique combination of SPE and MEKC methods showed dramatic distinctions between native and in vitro oxidized human LDL phospholipids. The combination also shows great potential for rapid analysis of in vivo oxidized human LDL phospholipids in the future.

Abstract
Oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) are rapidly becoming recognized as important mediators of cellular and immune signaling. They are generated either enzymatically or non-enzymatically and 100s of structures exist of which only a small fraction have been analyzed to date. Pleiotropic activities, including regulation of adhesion molecule expression, pro-coagulant activity and inhibition of Toll-like receptor signaling have been observed and some are detected in models of human and animal disease, including atherosclerosis and infection. More recently, the acute generation of specific oxidized phospholipids by cellular enzymes in immune cells was reported. Assays for analysis and quantification of OxPLs were first developed approx 15years ago, primarily for hydro(pero)xy-species. Many were based on monitoring a single precursor ion with/without LC separation, based on the PL headgroup. Others combined LC with monitoring precursor to product transitions, but were unable to provide information regarding position of oxidation on unsaturated sn-2 fatty acid due to sensitivity issues. More recently, LC/MS/MS methods for specific OxPLs have been reported that enable high sensitivity quantitation in biological samples. In this review, widely used methods for detecting and quantifying various classes of OxPL will be summarized, along with practical advice for their use. In particular, the focus will be on LC/MS/MS, which today is almost universally the method of choice.

Abstract
Peptide and protein lipoxidation is a deleterious process which has been related to several degenerative conditions. In the present study, the interaction of lipid secondary oxidation products with peptides was investigated by evaluating the modifications occurring to angiotensin II (Ang-II) in the presence of an oxidizing polyunsaturated glycerophospholipid (1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-glycerophosphatidylcholine, PAPC). PAPC oxidation was promoted by Fenton chemistry and the oxidation products were incubated with Ang-II. The reaction products were finally analysed by off-line nanospray high-performance liquid chromatography/matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem mass spectrometry (nano-HPLC/MALDI-TOF-MS/MS). Ang-II was found to form adducts with 26 different aldehydes, leading to 37 distinct reaction products. Modification of Ang-II occurred through reaction with reactive carbonyl species (RCS) originating from fatty acyl chain cleavage, while interactions with the oxidized phospholipid could not be detected. Adduction was observed to occur both by Michael and Schiff base mechanisms, most prevalently taking place at the peptide N-terminus or the arginine residue. Histidine modification could only be demonstrated to occur via Michael addition with two aldehydes: 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and 2-octenal. The highly reactive 4-oxo-2-nonenal (ONE) was shown to react preferentially with the arginine side chain, while malondialdehyde addition could only be confirmed at the N-terminus. Aspartic acid oxidative decarboxylation, amino acid side chain oxidation, multiple adduction or peptide cross-links could not be perceived. The inability to detect these reaction products is indicative of their low abundance or non-existence in competitive reaction conditions. The multiplicity of peptide modifications described emphasizes the complexity of lipoxidation, the effects of which are not possible to fully understand by the evaluation of independent reaction products.

Abstract
The anionic phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) is found almost exclusively in the inner membrane of mitochondria, playing an important role in energy metabolism. Oxidation of CL has been associated with apoptotic events and various pathologies. In this study, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography (LC/ESI-MS) was used to identify tetralinoleoyl-cardiolipin (TLCL) modifications induced by the OH(·) radical generated under Fenton reaction conditions (H(2)O(2) and Fe(2+)). The identified oxidation products of TLCL contained 2, 4, 6 and 8 additional oxygen atoms. These long-chain oxidation products were characterized by LC/ESI-MS/MS as doubly [M-2H](2-) and singly charged [M-H](-) ions. A detailed analysis of the fragmentation pathways of these precursor ions allowed the identification of hydroperoxy derivatives of CL. MS/MS analysis indicated that CL oxidation products with 4, 6 and 8 oxygen atoms have one fatty acyl chain bearing 4 oxygen atoms ([RCOO+4O](-)). Even when the TLCL molecule was oxidized by the addition of eight oxygen atoms, one of the acyl chains remained non-modified and one fatty acyl chain contained three or four oxygen atoms. This led us to conclude that under oxidative conditions by the OH(·) radical, the distribution of oxygens/peroxy groups in the CL molecule is not random, even when CL has the same fatty acyl chains in all the positions. Using mass spectrometry, the oxidation products have been unequivocally assigned, which may be useful for their detection in biological samples.

Abstract
Phosphatidylethanolamines are a major class of phospholipids found in cellular membranes. Identification of the alterations in these phospholipids, induced by free radicals, could provide new tools for in vivo diagnosis of oxidative stress. In this study, 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine oxidation products, induced by the hydroxyl radical, were studied using LC-MS and LC-MS/MS. Data obtained allowed the identification and separation of isomeric oxidative products with modifications in the sn-2 acyl chain, attributed to long- and short-chain products. Among long-chain products keto, keto-hydroxy, hydroxy, poly-hydroxy, peroxy and hydroxy-peroxy derivatives were identified. Product ions formed by loss of two H2O molecules vs loss of HOOH, allowed the identification of, respectively, di- (or poli-) hydroxy vs peroxy derivatives. Location of functional groups was determined by the product ions formed by cleavage of C-C bonds, in the vicinity of the oxidation positions, allowing the identification of C9, C12 and C13 as the predominant substituted positions. Short-chain products identified comprised aldehydes, hydroxy-aldehydes and carboxylic derivatives, with modified sn-2 acyl lengths of C7-C9 and C11, C12. Among the short-chain products identified, C9 products showed higher relative abundance.

Abstract
Metal-catalysed radical oxidation of diacyl-glycerophosphatidylcholines (GPC) with omega-6 acyl polyunsaturated fatty acids (PAPC, palmitoyl-arachidonoyl-glycerophosphatidylcholine and PLPC, palmitoyl-lineloyl-glycerophosphatidylcholine) was studied. Free radical oxidation products were trapped by spin trapping with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrrolidine-N-oxide (DMPO) and identified by electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS). The spin adducts of oxidised GPC containing one and two oxygen atoms and one and two DMPO molecules were observed as doubly charged ions. Structural characterisation by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) of these ions revealed product ions corresponding to loss of the acyl chains (sn-1-palmitoyl and sn-2-oxidised spin adduct of lineloyl or arachidonoyl), loss of the spin trap (DMPO) and product ions attributed to oxidised sn-2 fatty acid spin adduct (lineloyl and arachidonoyl). Product ions formed by homolytic cleavages near the spin trap and also from 1,4 hydrogen elimination cleavages involving the hydroxy group in the sn-2 fatty acid spin adduct allowed to infer the nature of the radical. Altogether, the presence of GPC hydroxy-alkyl/DMPO and hydroxy-alkoxyl/DMPO spin adducts was proposed.

Abstract
Because plasma phospholipids may cause matrix effects in bioanalytical liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) methods, it is important to establish optimal mass spectrometric techniques to monitor the fate of phospholipids during method development and application. We evaluated three MS/MS techniques to monitor phospholipids using positive and negative electrospray ionization (ESI). The first technique is based on using positive precursor ion scan of m/z 184, positive neutral loss scan of 141 Da and negative precursor ion scan of m/z 153. The second technique is based on using class-specific positive and negative selected reaction monitoring (SRM) transitions to monitor class-representative phospholipids. The third technique, previously reported, utilizes in-source collision-induced dissociation (CID)-based positive SRM of m/z 184 --> 184. We recommend the all-inclusive technique 1 for use in qualitative assessment of all classes of phospholipids and technique 2 for use in quantitative assessment of class-representative phospholipids. Secondly, we evaluated the elution behaviors of the plasma phospholipids under different reversed-phase mobile phase conditions. The phospholipid-eluting strength of a mobile phase was mainly dependent on the type and amount (%) of the organic eluent and the strength increased in the order of methanol, acetonitrile and isopropyl alcohol. Under the commonly used gradient and isocratic elution schemes in LC/MS/MS bioanalysis, not all the phospholipids are eluted off the column. Thirdly, we investigated the association between phospholipids and matrix effects in positive and negative ESI using basic, acidic and neutral analytes. While the phospholipids caused matrix effects in both positive and negative ESI, the extent of ionization suppression was analyte-dependent and was inversely related to the retention factor and broadness of the phospholipids peaks. The lysophospholipids which normally elute earlier in reversed-phase chromatography are more likely to cause matrix effects compared to the later-eluting phospholipids in spite of the larger concentrations of the latter in plasma.

Abstract
The fragmentation mechanisms of singlet oxygen [O(2) ((1)Delta(g))]-derived oxidation products of tryptophan (W) were analyzed using collision-induced dissociation coupled with (18)O-isotopic labeling experiments and accurate mass measurements. The five identified oxidized products, namely two isomeric alcohols (trans and cis WOH), two isomeric hydroperoxides (trans and cis WOOH), and N-formylkynurenine (FMK), were shown to share some common fragment ions and losses of small neutral molecules. Conversely, each oxidation product has its own fragmentation mechanism and intermediates, which were confirmed by (18)O-labeling studies. Isomeric WOH lost mainly H(2)O + CO, while WOOH showed preferential elimination of C(2)H(5)NO(3) by two distinct mechanisms. Differences in the spatial arrangement of the two isomeric WOHs led to differences in the intensities of the fragment ions. The same behavior was also found for trans and cis WOOH. FMK was shown to dissociate by a diverse range of mechanisms, with the loss of ammonia the most favored route. MS/MS analyses, (18)O-labeling, and H(2)(18)O experiments demonstrated the ability of FMK to exchange its oxygen atoms with water. Moreover, this approach also revealed that the carbonyl group has more pronounced oxygen exchange ability compared with the formyl group. The understanding of fragmentation mechanisms involved in O(2) ((1)Delta(g))-mediated oxidation of W provides a useful step toward the structural characterization of oxidized peptides and proteins.
