Abstract
Oxysterols play a key role in many (patho)physiological processes and they are potential biomarkers for oxidative stress in several diseases. Here we developed a rapid gas chromatographic-mass spectrometry-based method for the separation and quantification of 11 biologically relevant oxysterols bearing hydroxy, epoxy, and dihydroxy groups. Efficient chromatographic separation (resolution ≥ 1.9) was achieved using a medium polarity 35%-diphenyl/65%-dimethyl polysiloxane stationary phase material (30 m × 0.25 mm inner diameter and 0.25 μm film thickness). Based on thorough analysis of the fragmentation during electron ionization we developed a strategy to deduce structural information of the oxysterols. Optimized sample preparation includes (i) extraction with a mixture of n-hexane/iso-propanol, (ii) removal of cholesterol by solid phase extraction with unmodified silica, and (iii) trimethylsilylation. The method was successfully applied on the analysis of brain samples, showing consistent results with previous studies and a good intra- and interday precision of ≤20%. Finally, we used the method for the investigation of oxysterol formation during oxidative stress in HepG2 cells. Incubation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide led to a massive increase in free radical formed oxysterols (7-keto-chol > 7β-OH-chol >> 7α-OH-chol), while 24 h incubation with the glutathione peroxidase 4 inhibitor RSL3 showed no increase in oxidative stress based on the oxysterol pattern. Overall, the new method described here enables the robust analysis of a biologically meaningful pattern of oxysterols with high sensitivity and precision allowing us to gain new insights in the biological formation and role of oxysterols.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2021; 21:738-779. [PMID: 34953101 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.12880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Dietary cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) are heterogeneous compounds formed during the processing and storage of cholesterol-rich foods, such as seafood, meat, eggs, and dairy products. With the increased intake of COPs-rich foods, the concern about health implications of dietary COPs is rising. Dietary COPs may exert deleterious effects on human health to induce several inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammatory bowel diseases. Thus, knowledge regarding the effects of processing and storage conditions leading to formation of COPs is needed to reduce the levels of COPs in foods. Efficient methodologies to determine COPs in foods are also essential. More importantly, the biological roles of dietary COPs in human health and effects of phytochemicals on dietary COPs-induced diseases need to be established. This review summarizes the recent information on dietary COPs including their formation in foods during their processing and storage, analytical methods of determination of COPs, metabolic fate, implications for human health, and beneficial interventions by phytochemicals. The formation of COPs is largely dependent on the heating temperature, storage time, and food matrices. Alteration of food processing and storage conditions is one of the potent strategies to restrict hazardous dietary COPs from forming, including maintaining relatively low temperatures, shorter processing or storage time, and the appropriate addition of antioxidants. Once absorbed into the circulation, dietary COPs can contribute to the progression of several inflammatory diseases, where the absorbed dietary COPs may induce inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy in cells in the target organs or tissues. Improved intake of phytochemicals may be an effective strategy to reduce the hazardous effects of dietary COPs.

Abstract
In a successful fortification program, the stability of micronutrients added to the food is one of the most important factors. The added vitamin D3 is known to sometimes decline during storage of fortified milks, and oxidation through fatty acid lipoxidation could be suspected as the likely cause. Identification of vitamin D3 oxidation products (VDOPs) in natural foods is a challenge due to the low amount of their contents and their possible transformation to other compounds during analysis. The main objective of this study was to find a method to extract VDOPs in simulated whole milk powder and to identify these products using LTQ-ion trap, Q-Exactive Orbitrap and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The multistage mass spectrometry (MSn) spectra can help to propose plausible schemes for unknown compounds and their fragmentations. With the growth of combinatorial libraries, mass spectrometry (MS) has become an important analytical technique because of its speed of analysis, sensitivity, and accuracy. This study was focused on identifying the fragmentation rules for some VDOPs by incorporating MS data with in silico calculated MS fragmentation pathways. Diels-Alder derivatization was used to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity for the VDOPs' identification. Finally, the confirmed PTAD-derivatized target compounds were separated and analyzed using ESI(+)-UHPLC-MS/MS in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
A new method for the isolation and analysis of cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) using solid phase extraction (SPE) and silica columns was developed using gas chromatography-flame ion detection (GC-FID). The method comprises of saponification and liquid-liquid extraction of the unsaponifiable fraction prior to the isolation and derivatization of the COPs to trimethylsilyl ethers. The COPs used in this study are cholestane-5α-6α-epoxide, cholestane-3β-5α-6β-triol, 25-hydroxycholesterol and 5-cholesten-3β-ol-7-one. In order to identify the COPs fraction a GC-ion-trap-mass spectrometry experiment were conducted using authentic standards to verify the presence of the COPs. The method was effective at rapidly separating the COPs (25 min run). Calibration curves were linear with the LODs and LOQs bellow 0.03 and 0.07 mgkg(-1) for all cases, respectively. This methodology gave a total recovery for every compound that was used in the study. Betulin was used as an internal standard to monitor the recovery. The method was validated with a standard mixture of COPs. The method has been applied to characterize the COP fraction of subcutaneous fat from Iberian dry-cured ham. Cholestane-5α-6α-epoxide, cholestane-3β-5α-6β-triol, 25-hydroxycholesterol and 5-cholesten-3β-ol-7-one have been identified for the first time in these samples.

Abstract
Sterculic acid is a cyclopropene fatty acid with numerous biological activities. In this study we demonstrate that sterculic acid is a potent inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and related inflammation caused by 7-ketocholesterol (7KCh). 7KCh is a highly toxic oxysterol suspected in the pathogenesis of various age-related diseases such as atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and age-related macular degeneration. Sterculic acid demonstrated to be 5-10 times more effective than other anti-inflammatory fatty acids at inhibiting 7KCh-mediated inflammatory responses in cultured cells. In vivo, sterculic acid was effective at inhibiting the formation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the laser-injury rat model. Our data suggests that sterculic acid may be useful in treating CNV in certain forms of age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract
Cholesterol has been used to monitor artifact generation. Stability differences among cholesterol oxide products (COPs) and cholesterol in thermal and alkaline conditions are theorized. Thus, use of cholesterol may be unsuitable for detection of artifacts generated from COPs. Stability of cholesterol was compared to that of 7-ketocholesterol (7-keto) and β-sitosterol (βS) under various thermal and alkaline saponification conditions: 1 M methanolic KOH for 18 h at 24 °C (1 M18hr24°C, Control), 18 h at 37 °C (1M18hr37°C), 3 h at 45 °C (1M3hr45°C), and 3.6 M methanolic KOH for 3 h at 24 °C (3.6M3hr24°C). Trends indicated that cholesterol in solution was more stable than 7-keto under all conditions. Compared to βS, cholesterol was more stable under all conditions except for 1M18hr37°C for which stabilities were similar. Compounds were more labile in heat than alkalinity. Poor recoveries of 7-keto during cold saponification with high alkalinity were attributed to alkaline instability. 7-Keto, less stable than cholesterol, should be used to monitor artifact generation during screening of various methods that include thermal and alkaline conditions. In a preliminary analysis of turkey meat, more 3,5-7-one was generated from spiking with cholesterol than with 7-keto.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the influence of different cooking methods (grilled (GR), fried (FP), microwave (MW) and roasted (RO)) on lipid oxidation and formation of free cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) of meat from Iberian pigs that have been fed on an intensive system. Moisture and total lipid content, TBARs, hexanal and COPs were measured in Latissimus dorsi muscle samples. Cooking did not produce changes in total lipid content in meat but induced significantly higher lipid oxidation (TBARs and hexanal values) (p<0.001) and cholesterol oxidation (COPs) (p<0.01). When the different cooking methods were studied, the grilled method was the least affected by lipid oxidation (TBARs and hexanal) compared to the others. There were no significant differences among different cooking methods on COPs values. The most abundant cholesterol oxides were both 7α-hydroxycholesterol and 7β-hydroxycholesterol in all groups studied.

Abstract
A gas chromatographic method was successfully applied to determine cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) in human plasma. The linearity, precision, recovery and sensitivity of the method were determined. Oral supplementation with a combination of vitamin E (800 IU), C (1 g) and beta-carotene (24 mg), given for 21 days to 21 patients, did not significantly decrease plasma COP content. No correlations (n = 26) were found between initial plasma COP content and the following parameters: age, body mass index, plasma content of alpha-tocopherol, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, and fat, natural antioxidant and oxidized lipid intake. Differences in plasma COP content between type 2 diabetic (n = 6) and nondiabetic (n = 20) patients were not statistically significant. The results from this study lead us to hypothesize that the nonenzymatic oxidation of cholesterol in plasma is negligible compared to COPs originating from the diet. This article also includes a comprehensive review of the drawbacks of the analytical methods of COP determination in plasma and serum.

Abstract
A new method was developed for the simultaneous determination of cholesterol and its oxidation products in eggs, using HPLC with UV and refractive index (RI) detectors, and HPLC interfaced with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization coupled to MS (HPLC-APCI-MS). The best conditions for direct saponification of the sample and extraction of the non-saponifiable material were defined using complete factorial designs with central points. The method showed accuracy and precision with a detection limit between 0.002 and 0.079 microg/g. The oxides cholest-5-ene-3beta,20alpha-diol and cholest-5-ene-3beta,25-diol identified by HPLC-UV-RI were not confirmed by HPLC-APCI-MS.

Abstract
Oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol have important functions in many biochemical processes. These oxysterols are difficult to study because of their low physiological concentrations, the facile formation of cholesterol autoxidation artifacts, and lack of information on their chromatographic behavior. Focusing on metabolites and autoxidation products of cholesterol, we have documented the chromatographic mobilities of 35 oxysterols under a variety of conditions: eight solvent systems for thin-layer chromatography on silica gel, several mobile phases for reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and two types of stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography (GC) using trimethylsilyl derivatives. Notable differences in selectivity could be obtained by modifying the stationary or mobile phases. Separations of oxysterol pairs isomeric at side-chain carbons or C-7 were achieved on normal-phase, reversed-phase, chiral, or silver-ion HPLC columns. Chromatographic behavior is also described for side-chain hexadeuterated and heptafluorinated oxysterols, which are useful as standards in isotope dilution analyses and autoxidation studies, respectively. The overall results are relevant to many problems of oxysterol analysis, including the initial separation of oxysterols from cholesterol, determination of highly polar and nonpolar oxysterols, separation of isomeric pairs, selection of derivatization conditions for GC analysis, and quantitation of the extent of cholesterol autoxidation.

Abstract
Plant sterols are subjected to oxidation when exposed to air and, especially, when heated at high temperatures. We developed a method to study thermo-oxidation of plant sterols. The method consisted of cold saponification, purification of oxides by solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography analysis. To compensate for losses during the procedure, an internal standard was added before saponification. The method showed good recovery of added cholesterol oxides, separation of plant sterol oxides and reproducibility in detecting thermo-oxidation products of stigmasterol and rapeseed oil. Based on this study, the major products are 7-hydroxy, 5,6-epoxy and 7-keto compounds and oxides are formed faster in bulk stigmasterol than in rapeseed oil.

Abstract
Increased levels of plasma sterols other than cholesterol can serve as markers for abnormalities in lipid metabolism associated with clinical disease. Premature atherosclerosis and xanthomatosis occur in two rare lipid storage diseases, Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) and sitosterolemia. In CTX, cholestanol is present in all tissues. In sitosterolemia, dietary campesterol and sitosterol accumulate in plasma and red blood cells. Plasma accumulation of oxo-sterols is associated with inhibition of bile acid synthesis and other abnormalities in plasma lipid metabolism. Inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis is associated with plasma appearance of precursor sterols. The increases in non-cholesterol sterols, while highly significant, represent only minor changes in plasma sterols, which require capillary gas-liquid chromatography and MS for effective detection, identification and quantification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Human atherosclerotic lesions of different stages have quantitative differences in cholesterol and oxysterol content, but information on the oxysterol profile in fatty streaks is limited. This study aims to provide more detailed oxysterol quantification in human fatty streaks, as well as normal aorta and advanced lesions. METHODS A newly adapted method was used, including oxysterol purification by means of a silica cartridge; and it was ensured that artifactual oxysterol formation was kept to a minimum. Cholesterol and oxysterols were estimated by GC and identification confirmed by GC-MS in samples of normal human arterial intima, intima with near-confluent fatty streaks and advanced lesions, in necropsy samples. RESULTS The oxysterols 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol, cholesterol-5 beta, 6 beta-epoxide, cholesterol-5 alpha, 6 alpha-epoxide, 7 beta-hydroxycholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol (formerly known as 26-hydroxycholesterol) were found in all the lesions, but were at most very low in the normal aorta, both when related to wet weight and when related to cholesterol. Most components of the normal artery showed some cross-correlation on linear regression analysis, but cross-correlations were weaker in the fatty streaks and advanced lesions. However, in fatty streak there was a marked positive correlation between 27-hydroxycholesterol and cholesterol. CONCLUSION The findings confirm that oxysterols are present in fatty streaks and advanced lesions and may arise from different cholesterol oxidation mechanisms, including free radical-mediated oxidation and enzymatic oxidation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To reveal increased lipid peroxidation in diabetics by quantification of cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) not only in plasma, but also in erythrocytes. DESIGN AND METHODS We quantified 7-ketocholesterol (7-kCho) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as a surrogate measure for COPs. These assays were performed on both plasma and erythrocytes in 20 control subjects and 20 treated patients with relatively poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes. RESULTS Both plasma and erythrocyte 7-kCho levels in diabetics were significantly higher than those in control subjects. Although neither plasma nor erythrocyte 7-kCho levels were associated with markers for glucose tolerance in diabetics, a negative correlation of serum HDL-cholesterol levels with erythrocyte, but not plasma, 7-kCho levels was found. CONCLUSION Increased oxidative stress in diabetics affects oxidation of cholesterol. Assays of COPs not only in plasma, but also in erythrocytes, may yield complementary information in lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
We established a method to quantify 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC) in low density lipoprotein by using the heparin-citrate method and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. We examined the concentration of 7-ketocholesterol in LDL using this method to assess the pathological conditions in uremic patients with hemodialysis and healthy controls. We also examined the fatty acid composition in erythrocyte membranes to estimate the modification of biological membranes. We showed that the concentrations of 7-KC/cholesterol in LDL were significantly increased in hemodialysis patients compared to healthy controls (3.68+/-0.45 vs. 2.41+/-0.19, P<0.05) and the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids in erythrocyte membranes was significantly decreased in hemodialysis patients compared to healthy controls (0.499+/-0.014 vs. 0.655+/-0. 017, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in 7-KC concentration in LDL or fatty acid composition in erythrocyte membranes between pre- and post-intervention of hemodialysis. We concluded that hemodialysis patients are under oxidative stress, which modifies LDL and erythrocyte membranes and we speculated these modifications may participate in the process of atherosclerosis. We believe that the method to quantify 7-KC in this study is concise and reliable and may be used to investigate various diseases.

Abstract
Oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol (oxysterols) present a remarkably diverse profile of biological activities, including effects on sphingolipid metabolism, platelet aggregation, apoptosis, and protein prenylation. The most notable oxysterol activities center around the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis, which appears to be controlled in part by a complex series of interactions of oxysterol ligands with various receptors, such as the oxysterol binding protein, the cellular nucleic acid binding protein, the sterol regulatory element binding protein, the LXR nuclear orphan receptors, and the low-density lipoprotein receptor. Identification of the endogenous oxysterol ligands and elucidation of their enzymatic origins are topics of active investigation. Except for 24, 25-epoxysterols, most oxysterols arise from cholesterol by autoxidation or by specific microsomal or mitochondrial oxidations, usually involving cytochrome P-450 species. Oxysterols are variously metabolized to esters, bile acids, steroid hormones, cholesterol, or other sterols through pathways that may differ according to the type of cell and mode of experimentation (in vitro, in vivo, cell culture). Reliable measurements of oxysterol levels and activities are hampered by low physiological concentrations (approximately 0.01-0.1 microM plasma) relative to cholesterol (approximately 5,000 microM) and by the susceptibility of cholesterol to autoxidation, which produces artifactual oxysterols that may also have potent activities. Reports describing the occurrence and levels of oxysterols in plasma, low-density lipoproteins, various tissues, and food products include many unrealistic data resulting from inattention to autoxidation and to limitations of the analytical methodology. Because of the widespread lack of appreciation for the technical difficulties involved in oxysterol research, a rigorous evaluation of the chromatographic and spectroscopic methods used in the isolation, characterization, and quantitation of oxysterols has been included. This review comprises a detailed and critical assessment of current knowledge regarding the formation, occurrence, metabolism, regulatory properties, and other activities of oxysterols in mammalian systems.

Abstract
We describe a new concept implicating oxidized cholesterol derivatives and very long-chain fatty acids as possible factors in the development of corneal opacification after death. Corneal tissues, removed from both fresh and stale fish eyes, were examined for cholesterol derivatives and fatty acids after methanolysis of lipids. Cholesta-3,5-dien-7-one, cholest-4-en-3-one, hexacosenoic acid, and hexacosenoic acid were identified via gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in opacified corneas, but not in significant amounts in fresh ones. The present study confirmed the presence of lipid hydrolysis and a peroxidation process in the opacified cornea.
