Abstract
Oxylipins are oxygenated metabolites of fatty acids that share several similar biochemical characteristics and functions to fatty acids including transport and trafficking. Oxylipins are most commonly measured in the non-esterified form which can be found in plasma, free or bound to albumin. The non-esterified form, however, reflects only one of the possible pools of oxylipins and is by far the least abundant circulating form of oxylipins. Further, this fraction cannot reliably be extrapolated to the other, more abundant, esterified pool. In cells too, esterified oxylipins are the most abundant form, but are seldom measured and their potential roles in signaling are not well established. In this review, we examine the current literature on experimental oxylipin measurements to describe the lack in reporting the esterified oxylipin pool. We outline the metabolic and experimental importance of esterified oxylipins using well established roles of fatty acid trafficking in non-esterified fatty acids and in esterified form as components of circulating lipoproteins. Finally, we use mathematical modeling to simulate how exchange between cellular esterified and unesterified pools would affect intracellular signaling.. The explicit inclusion of esterified oxylipins along with the non-esterified pool has the potential to convey a more complete assessment of the metabolic consequences of oxylipin trafficking.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemic injury is among the top 10 leading causes of death from cardiovascular diseases worldwide. Myocardial ischemia is caused mainly by coronary artery occlusion or obstruction. It usually occurs when the heart is insufficiently perfused, oxygen supply to the myocardium is reduced, and energy metabolism in the myocardium is abnormal. Pathologically, myocardial ischemic injury generates a large number of inflammatory cells, thus inducing a state of oxidative stress. This sharp reduction in the number of normal cells as a result of apoptosis leads to organ and tissue damage, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, effective methods for the treatment of myocardial ischemic injury and clarification of the underlying mechanisms are urgently required. Gaseous signaling molecules, such as NO, H2S, H2, and combined gas donors, have gradually become a focus of research. Gaseous signaling molecules have shown anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects as potential therapeutic agents for myocardial ischemic injury in a large number of studies. In this review, we summarize and discuss the mechanism underlying the protective effect of gaseous signaling molecules on myocardial ischemic injury.

Abstract
Circulating and cell membrane phospholipids undergo oxidation caused by enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms. As a result, a diverse group of bioactive oxidized phospholipids generated in these conditions have both beneficial and harmful effects on the human body. Increased production of oxidized phospholipid products with deleterious effects is linked to the pathogenesis of various cardiopulmonary disorders such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, acute lung injury (ALI), and inflammation. It has been determined that the contrasting biological effects of lipid oxidation products are governed by their structural variations. For example, full-length products of 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine oxidation (OxPAPC) have prominent endothelial barrier protective and anti-inflammatory activities while most of the truncated oxidized phospholipids induce vascular leak and exacerbate inflammation. The extensive studies from our group and other groups have demonstrated a strong potential of OxPAPC in mitigating a wide range of agonist-induced lung injuries and inflammation in pulmonary endothelial cell culture and rodent models of ALI. Concurrently, elevated levels of truncated oxidized phospholipids are present in aged mice lungs that potentiate the inflammatory agents-induced lung injury. On the other hand, increased levels of full length OxPAPC products accelerate ALI recovery by facilitating production of anti-inflammatory lipid mediator, lipoxin A4, and other molecules with anti-inflammatory properties. These findings suggest that OxPAPC-assisted lipid program switch may be a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of acute inflammatory syndromes. In this review, we will summarize the vascular-protective and deleterious aspects of oxidized phospholipids and discuss their therapeutic potential including engineering of stable analogs of oxidized phospholipids with improved anti-inflammatory and barrier-protective properties.

Abstract
Oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) through enzymatic or non-enzymatic free radical-mediated reactions can yield an array of lipid metabolites including eicosanoids, octadecanoids, docosanoids and related species. In mammals, these oxygenated PUFA mediators play prominent roles in the physiological and pathological regulation of many key biological processes in the cardiovascular, renal, reproductive and other systems including their pivotal contribution to inflammation. Mass spectrometry-based technology platforms have revolutionized our ability to analyze the complex mixture of lipid mediators found in biological samples, with increased numbers of metabolites that can be simultaneously quantified from a single sample in few analytical steps. The recent development of high-sensitivity and high-throughput analytical tools for lipid mediators affords a broader view of these oxygenated PUFA species, and facilitates research into their role in health and disease. In this review, we illustrate current analytical approaches for a high-throughput lipidomic analysis of eicosanoids and related mediators in biological samples. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Oxygenated metabolism of PUFA: analysis and biological relevance."

Accumulating evidence for a role of oxidized phospholipids in infectious diseases. Cell Mol Life Sci 2014; 72:1059-71.

Abstract
Oxidized phospholipids (OxPL) were originally discovered as by-products and mediators of chronic inflammation such as in atherosclerosis. Over the last years, an increasing body of evidence led to the notion that OxPL not only contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory processes but in addition play an integral role as modulators of inflammation during acute infections. Thereby, host defense mechanisms involve the generation of oxygen radicals that oxidize ubiquitously present phospholipids, which in turn act as danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). These OxPL-derived DAMPs can exhibit both pro- and anti-inflammatory functions that ultimately alter the host response to pathogens. In this review, we summarize the currently available data on the role of OxPL in infectious diseases.

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
Clearance of invading pathogens is essential to preventing overwhelming inflammation and sepsis that are symptomatic of bacterial peritonitis. Macrophages participate in this innate immune response by engulfing and digesting pathogens, a process called phagocytosis. Oxidized phospholipids (OxPL) are danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) generated in response to infection that can prevent the phagocytic clearance of bacteria. We investigated the mechanism underlying OxPL action in macrophages. Exposure to OxPL induced alterations in actin polymerization, resulting in spreading of peritoneal macrophages and diminished uptake of E. coli. Pharmacological and cell-based studies showed that an anchored pool of PKA mediates the effects of OxPL. Gene silencing approaches identified the A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) WAVE1 as an effector of OxPL action in vitro. Chimeric Wave1(-/-) mice survived significantly longer after infection with E. coli and OxPL treatment in vivo. Moreover, we found that endogenously generated OxPL in human peritoneal dialysis fluid from end-stage renal failure patients inhibited phagocytosis via WAVE1. Collectively, these data uncover an unanticipated role for WAVE1 as a critical modulator of the innate immune response to severe bacterial infections.

Abstract
Oxidized phospholipids, such as the products of the oxidation of 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine by nonenzymatic radical attack, are known to be formed in a number of inflammatory diseases. Interest in the bioactivity and signaling functions of these compounds has increased enormously, with many studies using cultured immortalized and primary cells, tissues, and animals to understand their roles in disease pathology. Initially, oxidized phospholipids were viewed largely as culprits, in line with observations that they have proinflammatory effects, enhancing inflammatory cytokine production, cell adhesion and migration, proliferation, apoptosis, and necrosis, especially in vascular endothelial cells, macrophages, and smooth muscle cells. However, evidence has emerged that these compounds also have protective effects in some situations and cell types; a notable example is their ability to interfere with signaling by certain Toll-like receptors (TLRs) induced by microbial products that normally leads to inflammation. They also have protective effects via the stimulation of small GTPases and induce up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes and cytoskeletal rearrangements that improve endothelial barrier function. Oxidized phospholipids interact with several cellular receptors, including scavenger receptors, platelet-activating factor receptors, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, and TLRs. The various and sometimes contradictory effects that have been observed for oxidized phospholipids depend on their concentration, their specific structure, and the cell type investigated. Nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms by which oxidized phospholipids exert their effects in various pathologies are similar. Although our understanding of the actions and mechanisms of these mediators has advanced substantially, many questions do remain about their precise interactions with components of cell signaling pathways.

Abstract
Recent basic and clinical research has revealed that hydrogen is an important physiological regulatory factor with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic protective effects on cells and organs. Therapeutic hydrogen has been applied by different delivery methods including straightforward inhalation, drinking hydrogen dissolved in water and injection with hydrogen-saturated saline. This review summarizes currently available data regarding the protective role of hydrogen, provides an outline of recent advances in research on the use of hydrogen as a therapeutic medical gas in diverse models of disease and discusses the feasibility of hydrogen as a therapeutic strategy. It is not an overstatement to say that hydrogen's impact on therapeutic and preventive medicine could be enormous in the future.

Abstract
Eicosanoids are oxygenated, endogenous, unsaturated fatty acids derived from arachidonic acid. Detection and quantification of these compounds are of great interest because they play important roles in a number of significant diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Because the endogenous levels of eicosanoids are quite low, sensitive and specific analytical methods are required to reliably quantify these compounds. High-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) has emerged as one of the main techniques used in eicosanoid profiling. Herein, we describe the main LC/MS techniques and principles as well as their application in eicosanoid analysis. In addition, a protocol is given for extracting eicosanoids from biological samples, using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) as an example. The method and instrument optimization procedures are presented, followed by the analysis of eicosanoid standards using reverse phase HPLC interfaced with an ion trap mass spectrometer (LC/MS/MS). This protocol is intended to provide a broad description of the field for readers looking for an introduction to the methodologies involved in eicosanoid quantification.

Abstract
The levels of circulating oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) become increased in chronic and acute pathologic conditions such as hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, increased intimamedia thickness in the patients with systemic Lupus erythematosus, vascular balloon injury, acute lung injury (ALI), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). These pathologies are associated with inflammation and activation of endothelial cells. Depending on the biological context and the specific group of phospholipid oxidation products, OxPL may exhibit both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects. This review will summarize the data showing a dual role of OxPL in modulation of chronic and acute inflammation as well as OxPL effects on pulmonary endothelial permeability. Recent reports show protective effects of OxPL in the models of endotoxin and ventilator-induced ALI and suggest a potential for using OxPL-derived cyclopenthenone-containing compounds with barrier-protective properties for drug design. These compounds may represent a new group of therapeutic agents for the treatment of lung syndromes associated with acute inflammation and lung vascular leak.

Abstract
Premature infants often develop serious clinical complications associated with respiratory failure and hyperoxic lung injury that includes lung inflammation and alterations in lung development. The goal of these studies is to test the hypothesis that there are differences in the course of lung injury in newborn mice exposed to 85% or >95% oxygen that provide models to address the differential effects of oxidation and inflammation. Our results indicate differences between the 85% and >95% O2 exposure groups by day 14 in weight gain and lung alveolarization. Inflammation, assessed by neutrophil counts, was observed in both hyperoxia groups by day 3 but was dramatically greater in the >95% O2-exposed groups by day 14 and associated with greater developmental deficits. Cytoplasmic phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2, and 5-lipoxygenase levels were elevated but no patterns of differences were observed between exposure groups. Prostaglandins D2, E2, and F2alpha were increased in the tissues from mouse pups exposed to >95% O2 at 7 d indicating a differential expression of cyclooxygenase-2 products. Our data indicate that there are differences in the models of 85% or >95% O2 exposure and these differences may provide mechanistic insights into hyperoxic lung injury in an immature system.

Abstract
Since the discovery of oxidized phospholipids (OxPL) and their implication as modulators of inflammation in cardiovascular disease, roles for these lipid oxidation products have been suggested in many other disease settings. Lipid oxidation products accumulate in inflamed and oxidatively damaged tissue, where they are derived from oxidative modification of lipoproteins, but also from membranes of cells undergoing apoptosis. Thus, increased oxidative stress as well as decreased clearance of apoptotic cells has been implied to contribute to accumulation of OxPL in chronically inflamed tissues.A central role for OxPL in disease states associated with dyslipedemia, including atherosclerosis, diabetes and its complications, metabolic syndrome, and renal insufficiency, as well as general prothrombotic states, has been proposed. In addition, in organs which are constantly exposed to oxidative stress, including lung, skin, and eyes, increased levels of OxPL are suggested to contribute to inflammatory conditions. Moreover, accumulation of OxPL causes general immunmodulation and may lead to autoimmune diseases. Evidence is accumulating that OxPL play a role in lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis. Last but not least, a role for OxPL in neurological disorders including multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease has been suggested.This chapter will summarize recent findings obtained in animal models and from studies in humans that indicate that formation of OxPL represents a general mechanism that may play a major role in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
The evidence that oxidized phospholipids play a role in signaling, apoptotic events and in age-related diseases is responsible for the increasing interest for the study of this subject. Phospholipid changes induced by oxidative reactions yield a huge number of structurally different oxidation products which difficult their isolation and characterization. Mass spectrometry (MS), and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using the soft ionization methods (electrospray and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization) is one of the finest approaches for the study of oxidized phospholipids. Product ions in tandem mass spectra of oxidized phospholipids, allow identifying changes in the fatty acyl chain and specific features such as presence of new functional groups in the molecule and their location along the fatty acyl chain. This review describes the work published on the use of mass spectrometry in identifying oxidized phospholipids from the different classes.

Abstract
The fragmentation characteristics of monohydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids and dihydroxy- and trihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids were investigated by electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry using sustained off-resonance irradiation collision-induced dissociation (SORI-CID) and infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD). The fragmentation patterns of these compounds were associated with the number and positions of the hydroxyl substituents. The fragmentation is more complicated with increasing number of the hydroxyl groups of the compounds. In general, the major carbon-carbon cleavage of [M - H](-) ions occurred at the alpha-position to the hydroxyl group, and the carbon-carbon cleavage occurred when there was a double-bond at the beta-position to the hydroxyl group. SORI-CID and IRMPD produced some common fragmentation patterns; however, each technique provided some unique patterns that are useful for structural identification of these compounds. This study demonstrated the application of FTICR via the identification of regioisomers of trihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids in rabbit aorta samples.

Abstract
We have previously described protective effects of oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl- sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (OxPAPC) on pulmonary endothelial cell (EC) barrier function and demonstrated the critical role of cyclopentenone-containing modifications of arachidonoyl moiety in OxPAPC protective effects. In this study we used oxidized phosphocholine (OxPAPC), phosphoserine (OxPAPS), and glycerophosphate (OxPAPA) to investigate the role of polar head groups in EC barrier-protective responses to oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs). OxPAPC and OxPAPS induced sustained barrier enhancement in pulmonary EC, whereas OxPAPA caused a transient protective response as judged by measurements of transendothelial electrical resistance (TER). Non-OxPLs showed no effects on TER levels. All three OxPLs caused enhancement of peripheral EC actin cytoskeleton. OxPAPC and OxPAPS completely abolished LPS-induced EC hyperpermeability in vitro, whereas OxPAPA showed only a partial protective effect. In vivo, intravenous injection of OxPAPS or OxPAPC (1.5 mg/kg) markedly attenuated increases in the protein content, cell counts, and myeloperoxidase activities detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid upon intratracheal LPS instillation in mice, although OxPAPC showed less potency. All three OxPLs partially attenuated EC barrier dysfunction induced by IL-6 and thrombin. Their protective effects against thrombin-induced EC barrier dysfunction were linked to the attenuation of the thrombin-induced Rho pathway of EC hyperpermeability and stimulation of Rac-mediated mechanisms of EC barrier recovery. These results demonstrate for the first time the essential role of polar OxPL groups in blunting the LPS-induced EC dysfunction in vitro and in vivo and suggest the mechanism of agonist-induced hyperpermeability attenuation by OxPLs via reduction of Rho and stimulation of Rac signaling.

Abstract
5,6-trans-AA (5,6-TAA, where TAA stands for trans-arachidonic acid) is a recently identified trans fatty acid that originates from the cis-trans isomerization of AA initiated by the NO2 radical. This trans fatty acid has been detected in blood circulation and we suggested that it functions as a lipid mediator of the toxic effects of NO2. To understand its role as a lipid mediator, we studied the metabolism of 5,6-TAA by liver microsomes stimulated with NADPH. Profiling of metabolites by liquid chromatography/MS revealed a complex mixture of oxidized products among which were four epoxides, their respective hydrolysis products (dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids), and several HETEs (hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids) resulting from allylic, bis-allylic and (omega-1)/(omega-2) hydroxylations. We found that the C5-C6 trans bond competed with the three cis bonds for oxidative metabolism mediated by CYP (cytochrome P450) epoxygenase and hydroxylase. This was evidenced by the detection of 5,6-trans-EET (where EET stands for epoxyeicosatrienoic acid), 5,6-erythro-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid and an isomer of 5-HETE. A standard of 5,6-trans-EET obtained by iodolactonization of 5,6-TAA was used for the unequivocal identification of the unique microsomal epoxide in which the oxirane ring was of trans configuration. Additional lipid products originated from the metabolism involving the cis bonds and thus these metabolites had the trans C5-C6 bond. The 5,6-trans-isomers of 18- and 19-HETE were likely to be products of the CYP2E1, because a neutralizing antibody partially inhibited their formation without having an effect on the formation of the epoxides. Our study revealed a novel pathway of microsomal oxidative metabolism of a trans fatty acid in which both cis and trans bonds participated. Of particular significance is the detection of the trans-epoxide of AA, which may be involved in the metabolic activation of such trans fatty acids and probably contribute to their biological activity. Unlike its cis-isomer, 5,6-trans-EET was significantly more stable and resisted microsomal hydrolysis and conjugation with glutathione catalysed by hepatic glutathione S-transferase.

Abstract
Enantioselective analysis is used as a valuable tool for determining the biological origin of chiral derivatives of arachidonic, 11,14-eicosadienoic and linoleic acid in psoriatic skin scales and for clarifying their role in pathogenesis. This paper reports on a simple and rapid enantioselective determination (without any derivatization) of the fatty acid derivatives 13(R,S)-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid [13(R,S)-HODE], 9(R,S)-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid [9(R,S)-HODE] and 12(R,S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid [12(R,S)-HETE], using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with Chiralpak AD as the chiral selector and electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The enantiomeric distribution of 12-HETE, 9-HODE and 13-HODE in psoriatic skin scales of untreated patients (untreated during the last 4 weeks before sampling) was evaluated in comparison to psoriatic skin scales of patients underlying systemic treatment. The enantiomeric distribution of 12-HETE and 9-HODE showed no remarkable differences, whilst samples of patients under systemic treatment exhibited a lower predominance of 13(S)-HODE than samples of untreated patients. Furthermore, the effect of UVB phototherapy on the enantiomeric distribution of 12-HETE, 9-HODE and 13-HODE was studied and a semiquantitation of these compounds in psoriatic skin scales performed. The detected amounts of 9-HODE in samples of untreated patients were remarkably lower than those in samples of patients underlying systemic treatment. In the case of UVB phototherapy, no influence on the enantiomeric distribution could be observed.

Abstract
Three glycerophosphatidylcholine (GPC) phospholipids (oleoyl-, linoleoyl- and arachidonoylpalmitoylphosphatidylcholine) were oxidized under Fenton reaction conditions (H(2)O(2) and Fe(2+)), and the long-chain oxidation products were detected by electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS) and characterized by ES-MS/MS. The intact oxidation products resulted from the insertion of oxygen atoms into the phospholipid structure. The tandem mass spectra of the [MNa](+) molecular ion showed, apart from the characteristic fragments of GPC, fragment ions resulting from neutral losses from [MNa](+), and combined with loss of 59 and 183 Da from [MNa](+). These ions resulted from cleavage of the bond near the hydroxy group by a charge-remote fragmentation mechanism, allowing its location to be pinpointed. The fragments thus formed reflected the positions of the double bonds and of the derivatives along the unsaturated fatty acid chain, giving very useful information, as they allowed the presence of structural isomers and positional isomers to be established. The identification of the fragment ion at m/z 163, which is 16 Da higher than the five-membered cyclophosphane ion (m/z 147), in some tandem mass spectra, is consistent with the oxidation of the phosphocholine head. Some ions were found to occur with the same m/z value; in two of the phospholipids and based on the MS/MS data, structural and positional isomers were differentiated. Our findings indicate that MS/MS is a valuable tool for the identification of the wide complexity of structural features occurring in oxidized phosphatidylcholines during lipid peroxidation in cellular membranes.

Abstract
After an acute phase of inflammation or injury, restoration of the endothelial barrier is important to regain vascular integrity and to prevent edema formation. However, little is known about mediators that control restoration of endothelial barrier function. We show here that oxidized phospholipids that accumulate at sites of inflammation and tissue damage are potent regulators of endothelial barrier function. Oxygenated epoxyisoprostane-containing phospholipids, but not fragmented oxidized phospholipids, exhibited barrier-protective effects mediated by small GTPases Cdc42 and Rac and their cytoskeletal, focal adhesion, and adherens junction effector proteins. Oxidized phospholipid-induced cytoskeletal rearrangements resulted in a unique peripheral actin rim formation, which was mimicked by coexpression of constitutively active Cdc42 and Rac, and abolished by coexpression of dominant-negative Rac and Cdc42. Thus, oxidative modification of phospholipids during inflammation leads to the formation of novel regulators that may be critically involved in restoration of vascular barrier function.

Abstract
The bioactive component of mildly oxidized low-density lipoproteins, oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (OxPAPC), activates tissue factor expression and monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells (EC) from systemic circulation, but blocks expression of inflammatory adhesion molecules (VCAM, E-selectin) and neutrophil adhesion associated with EC acute inflammatory response to bacterial lypopolysacharide (LPS). Due to constant exposure to oxygen free radicals, lipids in the injured lung are especially prone to oxidative modification and increased OxPAPC generation. In this study, we focused on OxPAPC-mediated intracellular signaling mechanisms that lead to physiological responses in pulmonary endothelial cells. Our results demonstrate that OxPAPC treatment activated in a time-dependent fashion protein kinase C (PKC), protein kinase A (PKA), Raf/MEK1,2/Erk-1,2 MAP kinase cascade, JNK MAP kinase and transient protein tyrosine phosphorylation in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAEC), whereas nonoxidized PAPC was without effect. Pharmacological inhibition of PKC and tyrosine kinases blocked activation of Erk-1,2 kinase cascade upstream of Raf. OxPAPC did not affect myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, but increased phosphorylation of cofillin, a molecular regulator of actin polymerization. Finally, OxPAPC induced p60Src-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins paxillin and FAK. Our results suggest a critical involvement of PKC and tyrosine phosphorylation in OxPAPC-induced activation of Erk-1,2 MAP kinase cascade associated with regulation of specific gene expression, and demonstrate rapid phosphorylation of cytoskeletal proteins, which indicates OxPAPC-induced EC remodeling.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review will summarize recent evidence demonstrating that biologically active phospholipid oxidation products modulate inflammatory reactions. RECENT FINDINGS Structural identification of new biologically active oxidized phospholipids and the finding that they can also be formed at inflammatory sites other than the atherosclerotic lesion have expanded the potential role of these compounds in inflammation beyond atherogenesis. Various signaling pathways are induced by oxidized phospholipids, leading to the expression of inflammatory genes by mechanisms that differ from those mediated by the classic inflammatory agonists tumor necrosis factor or lipopolysaccharide. Furthermore, oxidized phospholipids can bind to pattern recognition molecules and thus potently influence inflammation and immune responses during host defense. SUMMARY During inflammatory processes biologically active lipid oxidation products accumulate that modulate the inflammatory process and may determine the fate and outcome of the body's reaction in acute inflammation during host defense. Oxidized phospholipids may induce and propagate chronic inflammatory processes; however, evidence is accumulating that cells and tissues respond towards these oxidatively formed stress signals also by activation of anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective reactions.

Abstract
Measurement of lipid peroxidation is a commonly used method of detecting oxidative damage to biological tissues, but the most frequently used methods, including MS, measure breakdown products and are therefore indirect. We have coupled reversed-phase HPLC with positive-ionization electrospray MS (LC-MS) to provide a method for separating and detecting intact oxidized phospholipids in oxidatively stressed mammalian cells without extensive sample preparation. The elution profile of phospholipid hydroperoxides and chlorohydrins was first characterized using individual phospholipids or a defined phospholipid mixture as a model system. The facility of detection of the oxidized species in complex mixtures was greatly improved compared with direct-injection MS analysis, as they eluted earlier than the native lipids, owing to the decrease in hydrophobicity. In U937 and HL60 cells treated in vitro with t-butylhydroperoxide plus Fe(2+), lipid oxidation could not be observed by direct injection, but LC-MS allowed the detection of monohydroperoxides of palmitoyl-linoleoyl and stearoyl-linoleoyl phosphatidylcholines. The levels of hydroperoxides observed in U937 cells were found to depend on the duration and severity of the oxidative stress. In cells treated with HOCl, chlorohydrins of palmitoyloleoyl phosphatidylcholine were observed by LC-MS. The method was able to detect very small amounts of oxidized lipids compared with the levels of native lipids present. The membrane-lipid profiles of these cells were found to be quite resistant to damage until high concentrations of oxidants were used. This is the first report of direct detection by LC-MS of intact oxidized phospholipids induced in cultured cells subjected to oxidative stress.

Abstract
Oxidation of 1-O-hexadec-1'-enyl-arachidonoyl glycerophosphocholine (16:0p/20:4-GPC) by hydroxyl radical generated from Cu(II)/H(2)O(2) was found to yield major products corresponding to free carboxylic acids of 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and several 5, 12-dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid. These products were characterized by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry based upon characteristic product ion spectra, as well as HPLC retention time. Several products were found to be biologically active in terms of elevating neutrophil intracellular calcium ion concentration. When mixed micelles of 16:0p/20:4-GPC were treated with Cu(II)/H(2)O(2), oxidation of the arachidonate esterified to the plasmalogen glycerophosphocholine lipid resulted in the most abundant products oxidized at carbon-5 of esterified arachidonate, but free carboxylic acid products were not formed. The mechanism of formation of these oxidized products is suggested to involve a cooperation between the sn-1 vinyl ether substituent and the arachidonoyl substituent at sn-2 of the glycerophospholipid to direct oxidation of the arachidonate ester at carbon-5. Since arachidonic acid is found in high abundance within most plasmalogen glycerophospholipids, the susceptibility of plasmalogens to free radical oxidation likely involves concomitant oxidation of the arachidonyl radyl group esterified at the sn-2 position.

Abstract
Techniques are described for the (31)P NMR analysis of glycerophospholipid (PL) headgroup and molecular species in brain. The (31)P NMR spectrum of PLs from human temporal cortex, solubilized in aqueous Na cholate, typically showed 3 major resonances, assigned to phosphatidylcholine (PC) molecular species containing 0, 1, or 2 fully saturated acyl chains. Less species resolution was obtained for the other PL headgroups under these conditions. Alkylacyl- and alkenylacyl-PC were readily discerned using the CHCl(3)-CH(3)OH-H(2)O solvent method. The chain-length, temperature, and species dependences of the (31)P NMR chemical shifts were explored in model PLs. Assignments of signals from phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) subclasses were confirmed in the sodium-cholate system by lipase-mediated selective hydrolysis of bovine-brain PE. The utility of (31)P NMR to monitor enzymatic PL oxidation was further demonstrated. Possible changes in PL composition with postmortem interval (PMI) in rat brain were examined. No significant changes were seen in PL headgroup or PC species composition with PMI at up to 18 hours. Where comparable, the Na-cholate-solubilization and solvent methods gave similar quantitative results for headgroup analysis on the same samples. The present work demonstrates the feasibility and utility of the dual system for analysis of PLs in brain. Magn Reson Med 44:215-223, 2000.

Abstract
There is considerable evidence to suggest that oxidation of LDL plays an important role in atherogenesis. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, a major oxidative target, are present as phospholipids in the outer core of the lipoprotein particle. Studies from several laboratories have shown an increase in the levels of phospholipid oxidation products in atherosclerotic lesions and of antibodies to oxidized phospholipids in mice and humans with lesions. Significantly, phospholipid oxidation products have been demonstrated (in vitro) to selectively activate processes in vascular wall cells that may contribute to atherogenesis. This review discusses activities, methods for isolation, identification and measurement of bioactive phospholipids. Past studies suggest that defined and relatively simple current technologies allow identification of bioactive phospholipid oxidation products and measurement of their levels in tissue.
