Abstract
Biogenic carbonyls, especially aldehydes, have previously demonstrated their potential to serve as early diagnostic biomarkers for disease and injury that have not been fully realized owing, in part, to the lack of a rapid and simple point-of-care method for aldehyde identification. The ability to determine which carbonyl compound is elevated and not just the total aldehydic load may provide more disease- or injury-specific diagnostic information. Toward this end, a novel fluorophore is presented that is able to form a complex with biogenic carbonyls under catalyst-free conditions so as to give a fluorescent fingerprint of the resulting hydrazone. The successful identification of bound carbonyls was accomplished with a newly described algorithm that applied principal curvature analysis of excitation-emission matrices to reduce surface features to ellipse representations, followed by a pattern-matching routine. With this algorithm, carbonyls were identified over a range of concentrations, and mixture components were successfully parsed. Overall, the results presented lay the groundwork for novel implementations of chemometrics to low-cost, rapid, and simple-to-implement point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
AIM In this study, we tested the hypothesis that lipid peroxide-derived dicarboxylic acids (DCAs), by virtue of their ability to bind to calcium (Ca), might be involved in atherosclerotic calcification. We determined the ability of azelaic acid (AzA) to promote calcification in human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs), identified AzA in human calcified atherosclerotic lesions, and compared its levels with control and noncalcified atherosclerotic lesions. RESULTS HASMCs efficiently converted 9-oxononanoic acid (ONA), a lipid peroxide-derived monocarboxylic aldehyde, to AzA. In vitro incubations of AzA micelles with HASMC resulted in the formation of Ca deposits, which contained AzA. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of human control uninvolved artery, noncalcified, and calcified lesions showed significant increase of AzA in calcified lesions compared with noncalcified and control tissues. Calcified mouse atherosclerotic lesions also showed substantial presence of AzA in Ca complexes. INNOVATION This study identifies a DCA, AzA, as an integral part of the Ca complex. The study also demonstrates the conversion of a lipid peroxidation product, ONA, as a potential source of AzA, and establishes the presence of AzA in calcified materials isolated from human and mouse lesions. CONCLUSION The presence of AzA as a Ca sequestering agent in atherosclerotic lesions (i) might indicate participation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) derived products in calcification, (ii) explain the potential correlation between calcification and overall plaque burden (as Ox-LDL has been suggested to be involved in atherogenesis), (iii) could contribute to plaque stabilization via its anti-inflammatory actions, and (iv) might explain why antioxidants failed to affect atherosclerosis in clinical studies.

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
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) plays an important role in initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Proatherogenic effects of OxLDL have been attributed to bioactive phospholipids generated during LDL oxidation. It is unknown what effect oxidation has on the phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) molecules in LDL, even though PtdIns is 6% of the total LDL phospholipid pool. We sought to identify and quantitate oxidized phosphatidylinositol (OxPtdIns) species in OxLDL and human atherosclerotic plaque. Bovine liver PtdIns was subjected to non-enzymatic and lipoxygenase-catalyzed oxidation. Reversed-phase liquid chromatography with negative ESI-MS identified and confirmed compounds by fragmentation pattern analysis from which an OxPtdIns library was generated. Twenty-three OxPtdIns molecules were identified in copper-oxidized human LDL at 0, 6, 12, 24, 30, and 48 h, and in human atherosclerotic plaque. In OxLDL, OxPtdIns species containing aldehydes and carboxylates comprised 17.3 ± 0.1 and 0.9 ± 0.2%, respectively, of total OxPtdIns in OxLDL at 48 h. Hydroperoxides and isoprostanes at 24 h (68.5 ± 0.2 and 22.8 ± 0.2%) were significantly greater than 12 h (P < 0.01) without additional changes thereafter. Hydroxides decreased with increased oxidation achieving a minimum at 24 h (5.2 ± 0.3%). Human atherosclerotic plaques contained OxPtdIns species including aldehydes, carboxylates, hydroxides, hydroperoxides and isoprostanes, comprising 18.6 ± 4.7, 1.5 ± 0.7, 16.5 ± 7.4, 33.3 ± 1.1 and 30.2 ± 3.3% of total OxPtdIns compounds. This is the first identification of OxPtdIns molecules in human OxLDL and atherosclerotic plaque. With these novel molecules identified we can now investigate their potential role in atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Oxidative modifications to phospholipids (OxPL) play a major role in modulating signaling events in inflammation and infection, and complete understanding on the induced biological effects can only be understood based on knowledge of the oxidative motifs present. Specific neutral losses observed in tandem mass spectrometry data (LC-MS/MS) of primary peroxidation products in oxidized palmitoyl-arachidonoyl-phosphatidylcholines (OxPAPC) provide information on the prevailing structural motifs regarding the oxidized acyl carbon chain, the nature of oxidized group and the site of carbon oxidation. The higher hydrophobicity of hydroperoxides compared to di-hydroxy derivatives under reverse-phase conditions together with specific fragmentation patterns enabled the identification of 12 structurally different OxPAPC structural (di-hydroxy and hydroperoxide derivatives) and positional isomers as well as the presence of poly-hydroxy together with isoprostanes derivatives. The fragmentation patterns described in quadrupole time-of-flight and linear ion trap instruments complement the m/z value and retention time parameters in the identification of oxidative composition in OxPAPC products becoming a valuable tool for the exploratory screening of oxidized phosphatidylcholines in OxPAPC extracts, distinction of native and modified PC isobaric structures in complex samples contributing to the increased understanding of redox lipidomics in inflammation and infection.

Multiple beneficial health effects of natural alkylglycerols from shark liver oil. Mar Drugs 2010; 8:2175-84.

Abstract
Alkylglycerols (alkyl-Gro) are ether lipids abundant in the liver of some elasmobranch fish species such as ratfishes and some sharks. Shark liver oil from Centrophorus squamosus (SLO), or alkyl-Gro mix from this source, have several in vivo biological activities including stimulation of hematopoiesis and immunological defences, sperm quality improvement, or anti-tumor and anti-metastasis activities. Several mechanisms are suggested for these multiple activities, resulting from incorporation of alkyl-Gro into membrane phospholipids, and lipid signaling interactions. Natural alkyl-Gro mix from SLO contains several alkyl-Gro, varying by chain length and unsaturation. Six prominent constituents of natural alkyl-Gro mix, namely 12:0, 14:0, 16:0, 18:0, 16:1 n-7, and 18:1 n-9 alkyl-Gro, were synthesized and tested for anti-tumor and anti-metastatic activities on a model of grafted tumor in mice (3LL cells). 16:1 and 18:1 alkyl-Gro showed strong activity in reducing lung metastasis number, while saturated alkyl- Gro had weaker (16:0) or no (12:0, 14:0, 18:0) effect. Multiple compounds and mechanisms are probably involved in the multiple activities of natural alkyl-Gro.

Abstract
Various analytical techniques have been adopted for the isolation and identification of the oxolipids and for determining their functionality. Gas chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry (MS) has been specifically utilized in analysis of isoprostanes and other low molecular weight oxolipids, although it requires derivatization of the solutes. In contrast, liquid chromatography (LC) in combination with on-line MS has proven to be well suited for analysis of intact oxolipids without (or minimal) derivatization. LC-MS has also been helpful for the identification of lipidomic changes resulting from covalent binding of lipid ester core aldehydes to amino lipids, amino acids, peptides, and proteins. This chapter reviews the use of the above techniques for lipidomic analysis of the autoxidation products of cholesteryl esters and glycerolipids as practiced in the authors' laboratories.

Abstract
Ultraviolet light radiation (UVR) has profound effects upon human skin. Yet, the exact targets for UVR are unclear. Inasmuch as UVR is a known pro-oxidative stressor, one potential target for UVR could be oxidatively modified glycerophosphocholines (GPC). Importantly, recent studies demonstrate that these oxidized GPCs (ox-GPC) are potent agonists for the platelet-activating factor receptor and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma. This review discusses these new biologically active lipids and their down-stream receptor targets that provide a unique system of biosensors for detecting and responding to UVR photo-oxidation.

Abstract
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a major component in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and plays a role in the changes of vascular reactivity observed in this disease. Herein the authors investigate the potential involvement of platelet-activating factor (PAF)-like phospholipid components of oxidized LDL in rabbit aorta reactivity. Aortic rings were precontracted with noradrenaline (0.5 microM) and relaxation was induced by subsequent stimulation with sequential additions of acetylcholine (1 nM to 3 microM). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fractions (6- and 7-min) obtained from phospholipids extracted from oxidized LDL inhibited relaxation evoked by acetylcholine, but not the relaxation induced by sodium nitroprusside. This effect was not antagonized either by incubation of the fractions with PAF acetylhydrolase or by incubation of the aortic rings with a PAF receptor antagonist. Authentic PAF or C4-PAF, a PAF mimetic previously found in fractions 6 and 7 did not inhibit acetylcholine-induced relaxation. In contrast, lyso-PAF inhibited acetylcholine, but not sodium nitroprusside-induced relaxation. The authors conclude that phospholipids of oxidized LDL impair vascular reactivity to endothelium-dependent agonists. This effect is not due to oxidatively generated proinflammatory PAF mimetics, but rather to a metabolite of these phospholipids, lysoPAF.

Abstract
Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) generates pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic mediators that play a crucial role in cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases. Mildly oxidized LDL (mox-LDL) and minimally modified LDL (mm-LDL) which escape the uptake of macrophage scavenger receptors accumulate in the atherosclerotic intima. Oxidatively modified LDL is also present within the electronegative LDL fraction in blood, which is elevated in patients at high risk for cardiovascular diseases. Mox-LDL and mm-LDL, but not native LDL are able to induce platelet shape change and aggregation. LDL oxidation generates lipids with platelet stimulatory properties such as lysophosphatidylcholine, certain oxidized phosphatidylcholine molecules, F(2)-isoprostanes and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Mox-LDL and mm-LDL are like a Trojan horse carrying these biologically active lipids and attacking cells through activation of physiological receptors and signaling mechanisms. LPA has been identified as the lipid responsible for platelet stimulation by mox-LDL, mm-LDL and also mox-HDL. These lipoproteins activate platelets by stimulating G-protein coupled LPA receptors and a Rho/Rho kinase signaling pathway leading to platelet shape change and subsequent aggregation. LPA-mediated platelet activation might contribute to arterial thrombus formation after rupture of atherosclerotic plaques and to the increased blood thrombogenicity of patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
This study examines the feasibility that peroxidation and lipolysis of 1-O-alkyl-2,3-diacyl-sn-glycerols (DAGE) found in shark liver oil and human milk fat constitutes a potential source of dietary precursors of platelet activating factor (PAF) mimics and of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB). Purified DAGE were converted into 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycerols by pancreatic lipase, without isomerization, and transformed into 1-O-alkyl-2-oxoacyl-sn-glycerols by mild autooxidation. The various core aldehydes without derivatization, as well as the corresponding dinitrophenylhydrazones, were characterized by chromatographic retention time and diagnostic ions by online electrospray mass spectrometry. Core aldehydes of oxidized shark liver oil yielded 23 molecular species of 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerols with short-chain sn-2 oxoacyl groups, ranging from 4 to 13 carbons, some unsaturated. Autooxidation of human milk fat yielded 1-O-octadecyl-2-(9-oxo)nonanoyl-sn-glycerol, as the major core aldehyde. Because diradylglycerols with short fatty chains are absorbed in the intestine and react with cytidine diphosphate-choline in the enterocytes, it is concluded that formation of such PAF mimics as 1-O-alkyl-2-(omega-oxo)acyl-sn-glycerophosphocholine from unsaturated dietary DAGE is a realistic possibility. Likewise, a C4 core alcohol produced by aldol-keto reduction of a C4 core aldehyde constitutes a dietary precursor of the neuromodulator and recreational drug GHB, which has not been previously pointed out.

Abstract
Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) generates proinflammatory and prothrombotic mediators that may play a crucial role in cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases. In order to study platelet-activating components of oxidized LDL 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, a representative of the major phospholipid species in LDL, the 1-acyl-phosphatidylcholines (PC), was oxidized by CuCl(2) and H(2)O(2). After separation by high-performance liquid chromatography, three compounds were detected which induced platelet shape change at low micromolar concentrations. Platelet activation by these compounds was distinct from the pathways stimulated by platelet-activating factor, lyso-phosphatidic acid, lyso-PC and thromboxane A(2), as evidenced by the use of specific receptor antagonists. Further analyses of the oxidized phospholipids by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry structurally identified them as 1-stearoyl-2-azelaoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (m/z 694; SAzPC), 1-stearoyl-2-glutaroyl-sn- glycero-3-phosphocholine (m/z 638; SGPC), and 1-stearoyl-2-(5-oxovaleroyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (m/z 622; SOVPC). These observations demonstrate that novel 1-acyl-PC which had previously been found to stimulate interaction of monocytes with endothelial cells also induce platelet activation, a central step in acute thrombogenic and atherogenic processes.

Abstract
We identified and quantified the hydroperoxides, hydroxides, epoxides, isoprostanes, and core aldehydes of the major phospholipids as the main components of the oxophospholipids (a total of 5-25 pmol/micromol phosphatidylcholine) in a comparative study of human atheroma from selected stages of lesion development. The developmental stages examined included fatty streak, fibrous plaque, necrotic core, and calcified tissue. The lipid analyses were performed by normal-phase HPLC with on-line electrospray MS using conventional total lipid extracts. There was great variability in the proportions of the various oxidation products and a lack of a general trend. Specifically, the early oxidation products (hydroperoxides and epoxides) of the glycerophosphocholines were found at the advanced stages of the plaques in nearly the same relative abundance as the more advanced oxidation products (core aldehydes and acids). The anticipated linear accumulation of the more stable oxidation products with progressive development of the atherosclerotic plaque was not apparent. It is therefore suggested that lipid infiltration and/or local peroxidation is a continuous process characterized by the formation and destruction of both early and advanced products of lipid oxidation at all times. The process of lipid deposition appears to have been subject to both enzymatic and chemical modification of the normal tissue lipids. Clearly, the appearance of new and disproportionate old lipid species excludes randomness in any accumulation of oxidized LDL lipids in atheroma.

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
BACKGROUND Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a platelet-activating component of mildly oxidized LDL (mox-LDL) and lipids isolated from human atherosclerotic plaques. Specific antagonists of platelet LPA receptors could be useful inhibitors of thrombus formation in patients with cardiovascular disease. METHODS AND RESULTS Short-chain analogs of phosphatidic acid (PA) were examined for their effect on two initial platelet responses, platelet shape change and Ca2+ mobilization. Dioctylglycerol pyrophosphate [DGPP(8:0)] and dioctylphosphatidic acid [PA(8:0)], recently described selective antagonists of the LPA1 and LPA3 receptors, inhibited platelet activation evoked by LPA but not by other platelet stimuli. DGPP(8:0) was more potent than PA(8:0). DGPP(8:0) also inhibited platelet shape change induced by mox-LDL and lipid extracts from human atherosclerotic plaques. Notably, we demonstrate for the first time that the lipid-rich core isolated from soft plaques was able to directly induce shape change. This effect was completely abrogated by prior incubation of platelets with DGPP(8:0). Moreover, coapplication of the lipid-rich core or LPA together with subthreshold concentrations of ADP or epinephrine synergistically induced platelet aggregation; this effect was inhibited by DGPP(8:0). Analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed the presence of LPA alkyl- and acyl-molecular species with high platelet-activating potency (16:0-alkyl-LPA, 20:4-acyl-LPA). CONCLUSIONS LPA molecules present in the core region of atherosclerotic plaques trigger rapid platelet activation through the stimulation of LPA1 and LPA3 receptors. Antagonists of platelet LPA receptors might provide a new strategy to prevent thrombus formation in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
