Multi-Omic Profiling of Macrophages Treated with Phospholipids Containing Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids Reveals Complex Immunomodulatory Adaptations at Protein, Lipid and Metabolic Levels. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042139. [PMID: 35216253 PMCID: PMC8879791 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23042139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
In recent years, several studies have demonstrated that polyunsaturated fatty acids have strong immunomodulatory properties, altering several functions of macrophages. In the present work, we sought to provide a multi-omic approach combining the analysis of the lipidome, the proteome, and the metabolome of RAW 264.7 macrophages supplemented with phospholipids containing omega-3 (PC 18:0/22:6; ω3-PC) or omega-6 (PC 18:0/20:4; ω6-PC) fatty acids, alone and in the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Supplementation of macrophages with ω3 and ω6 phospholipids plus LPS produced a significant reprogramming of the proteome of macrophages and amplified the immune response; it also promoted the expression of anti-inflammatory proteins (e.g., pleckstrin). Supplementation with the ω3-PC and ω6-PC induced significant changes in the lipidome, with a marked increase in lipid species linked to the inflammatory response, attributed to several pro-inflammatory signalling pathways (e.g., LPCs) but also to the pro-resolving effect of inflammation (e.g., PIs). Finally, the metabolomic analysis demonstrated that supplementation with ω3-PC and ω6-PC induced the expression of several metabolites with a pronounced inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effect (e.g., succinate). Overall, our data show that supplementation of macrophages with ω3-PC and ω6-PC effectively modulates the lipidome, proteome, and metabolome of these immune cells, affecting several metabolic pathways involved in the immune response that are triggered by inflammation.

Abstract
The process of lipid oxidation generates a diverse array of small aldehydes and carbonyl-containing compounds, which may occur in free form or esterified within phospholipids and cholesterol esters. These aldehydes mostly result from fragmentation of fatty acyl chains following radical oxidation, and the products can be subdivided into alkanals, alkenals (usually α,β-unsaturated), γ-substituted alkenals and bis-aldehydes. Isolevuglandins are non-fragmented di-carbonyl compounds derived from H2-isoprostanes, and oxidation of the ω-3-fatty acid docosahexenoic acid yield analogous 22 carbon neuroketals. Non-radical oxidation by hypochlorous acid can generate α-chlorofatty aldehydes from plasmenyl phospholipids. Most of these compounds are reactive and have generally been considered as toxic products of a deleterious process. The reactivity is especially high for the α,β-unsaturated alkenals, such as acrolein and crotonaldehyde, and for γ-substituted alkenals, of which 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal and 4-oxo-2-nonenal are best known. Nevertheless, in recent years several previously neglected aldehydes have been investigated and also found to have significant reactivity and biological effects; notable examples are 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal and 4-hydroxy-dodecadienal. This has led to substantial interest in the biological effects of all of these lipid oxidation products and their roles in disease, including proposals that HNE is a second messenger or signalling molecule. However, it is becoming clear that many of the effects elicited by these compounds relate to their propensity for forming adducts with nucleophilic groups on proteins, DNA and specific phospholipids. This emphasizes the need for good analytical methods, not just for free lipid oxidation products but also for the resulting adducts with biomolecules. The most informative methods are those utilizing HPLC separations and mass spectrometry, although analysis of the wide variety of possible adducts is very challenging. Nevertheless, evidence for the occurrence of lipid-derived aldehyde adducts in biological and clinical samples is building, and offers an exciting area of future research.

Abstract
A mixture of native and oxidized phospholipids (PLs), generated by the soybean lipoxygenase type V-catalyzed partial oxidation of a lipid extract obtained from human platelets, was analyzed by Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography-ElectroSpray Ionization-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (HILIC-ESI-MS/MS). The complexity of the resulting mixture was remarkable, considering that the starting lipid extract, containing (as demonstrated in a previous study) about 130 native PLs, was enriched with enzymatically generated hydroperoxylated derivatives and chemically generated hydroxylated forms of PLs bearing polyunsaturated side chains. Nonetheless, the described analytical approach proved to be very powerful; indeed, focusing on phosphatidylcolines (PCs), the most abundant PL class in human platelets, about fifty different native/oxidized species could be identified in a single HILIC-ESI-MS/MS run. Low-energy collision induced dissociation tandem MS (CID-MS/MS) experiments on chromatographically separated species showed single neutral losses of H2O2 and H2O to be typical fragmentation pathways of hydroperoxylated PCs, whereas a single H2O loss was observed for hydroxylated ones. Moreover, diagnostic losses of n-hexanal or n-pentanol were exploited to recognize PCs hydroperoxylated on the last but five carbon atom of a ɷ-6 polyunsaturated side chain. Despite the low resolution of the 3D ion trap mass analyzer used, the described HILIC-ESI-MS/MS approach appears very promising for the identification of oxidized lipids in oxidatively stressed complex biological systems.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Oxidized phospholipids are now well recognized as markers of biological oxidative stress and bioactive molecules with both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects. While analytical methods continue to be developed for studies of generic lipid oxidation, mass spectrometry (MS) has underpinned the advances in knowledge of specific oxidized phospholipids by allowing their identification and characterization, and it is responsible for the expansion of oxidative lipidomics. RECENT ADVANCES Studies of oxidized phospholipids in biological samples, from both animal models and clinical samples, have been facilitated by the recent improvements in MS, especially targeted routines that depend on the fragmentation pattern of the parent molecular ion and improved resolution and mass accuracy. MS can be used to identify selectively individual compounds or groups of compounds with common features, which greatly improves the sensitivity and specificity of detection. Application of these methods has enabled important advances in understanding the mechanisms of inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis, steatohepatitis, leprosy, and cystic fibrosis, and it offers potential for developing biomarkers of molecular aspects of the diseases. CRITICAL ISSUES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS The future in this field will depend on development of improved MS technologies, such as ion mobility, novel enrichment methods and databases, and software for data analysis, owing to the very large amount of data generated in these experiments. Imaging of oxidized phospholipids in tissue MS is an additional exciting direction emerging that can be expected to advance understanding of physiology and disease.

Abstract
Glycation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is a reaction that is known to occur under the chronic hyperglycemic conditions found in diabetes. Glycated phosphatidylethanolamines were found in plasma and atherosclerotic plaques of diabetic patients, and its presence was correlated with increased oxidative stress. Moreover, upregulation of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators can be observed not only in diabetes, but also under oxidized phosphatidylcholine stimulation. In this study, we evaluate the effect of dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) and linoleoyl-palmitoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (PLPE) structural oxidation, glycation and glycoxidation, on monocyte and myeloid dendritic cell stimulation. Expression of cytokines, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, MIP-1β and TNF-α, were determined using flow cytometry after cell stimulations with native PEs, oxidized, glycated and glycoxidized PEs. Native PE, PLPE and DPPE, and all modified PEs were able to increase the stimulation levels of monocytes and mDCs. Generally, in monocytes and mDCs stimulation, GluOxPLPE and GluDPPE were the PLPE/DPPE modifications that induced the most pronounced rise in cytokine production. However, GluOxDPPE was the DPPE modification that produced the lowest stimulation levels of mDCs and monocytes. Our results indicate that glycated PE and glycoxidized PE may have an important contribution to the low-grade systemic inflammation associated with diabetes and to the development of diabetic complications.

Abstract
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an aminophospholipid that is prone to glycation. In oxidative conditions, glycated PS may lead to the formation of Amadori compounds and advanced glycated end products (AGEs), which are known to accumulate in diabetic patients. Nevertheless, there have been no studies that identified products from the oxidative reaction of glycated PS. In this study, glycated 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-PS was synthesized and further oxidized by Fenton reagent. The AGES formed were structurally characterized by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in negative mode. The oxidation products from glycated PS that we have found include products arising from the oxidation of the fatty acyl chains (hydroperoxides, hydroxides and keto derivatives), and arising from oxidative cleavage of serine polar head and lyso-glycated PS. Oxidation in C6 of glucose lead to the formation of glucuronyl-PS. In addition, new products arising from oxidative cleavage of glucose moiety (between C1C2, C2C3 and C3C4 bonds) were identified as PS-AGES. The current findings add substantially to the best of our knowledge of PS glycoxidation products, opening new perspectives for the detection of these products in complex biological matrices.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to investigate antioxidant and hypolipidemic effects, as well as its molecular mechanism of wild Lactobacillus plantarum FC225 isolated from fermented cabbages. The scavenging activities of superoxide anion radical, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and hydroxyl radical were enhanced by FC225 treatment. The strain FC225 also attenuated hyperlipidemic status, decreased lipid peroxidation, plasma cholesterol, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in high fat diet-fed mice. Meanwhile, FC225 therapy could significantly elevate the activities of superoxidase dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, and decrease the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver homogenates, whereas there was no change in catalase activity in high fat diet-fed mice. In addition, compared with the control group, FC225 markedly elevated the gene expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which was in parallel with the increased value of CD4+/CD8+ ratio in the FC225-treated hyperlipidemic mice. The results demonstrated that the strain FC225 confers hypolipidemic and antioxidant protective effects which may be attributable to Nrf2 signal pathway mediated antioxidant enzyme expression.

Abstract
The incipient levels of lipid hydroperoxides (LHPOs) were determined in selected green, brown, and red macroalgae by the FOX assay using hydroperoxy HPLC mix. The LHPOs contents varied between the investigated species and showed relatively low values in this study. Among the greens, it varied from 12 ± 6.2 μg · g(-1) (Codium sursum) to 31.5 ± 2.8 μg · g(-1) (Ulva lactuca), whereas in reds, from 5.7 ± 1.6 μg · g(-1) (Gracilaria corticata) to 46.2 ± 6 μg · g(-1) (Sarconema filiforme), and in browns, from 4.6 ± 4.4 μg · g(-1) (Dictyota bartayresiana) to 79 ± 5.0 μg · g(-1) (Sargassum tenerrimum), on fresh weight basis. These hydroperoxides represented a minor fraction of total lipids and ranged from 0.04% (S. swartzii) to 1.1% (S. tenerrimum) despite being a rich source of highly unsaturated fatty acids. The susceptibility of peroxidation was assessed by specific lipid peroxidazibility (SLP) values for macroalgal tissues. The LHPO values were found to be independent of both the PUFAs contents and their degree of unsaturation (DBI), as evident from the PCA analysis. SLP values were positively correlated with the LHPOs and negatively with DBI. The FOX assay gave ≥20-fold higher values for LHPOs as compared to the TBARS method for all the samples investigated in this study. Furthermore, U. lactuca cultured in artificial seawater (ASW) enriched with nutrients (N, P, and NP) showed a sharp decline in LHPOs contents relative to those cultured in ASW alone P ≤ 0.05. It is inferred from this study that the FOX assay is an efficient, rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive technique for detecting the incipient lipid peroxidation in macroalgal tissues.

Abstract
RATIONALE Nonenzymatic glycation of phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) seems to a have a role in angiogenesis and atherosclerosis. Glycated PEs are more easily oxidized, enhancing oxidative stress. This study aims to evaluate the influence of glycation on the formation of intermediate radical species during oxidation of glycated PEs. METHODS In the present study, the radical intermediaries formed during the oxidation of palmitoyl-lineoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (PLPE) and glycated PLPE (gPLPE) were trapped using a spin trap (DMPO) and the radical adducts were analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Mass spectra were acquired using a electrospray Q-TOF 2 mass spectrometer. RESULTS Several spin adducts of PLPE and gPLPE were identified, corresponding to carbon- and oxygen-centered radicals. Interpretation of the MS/MS spectra showed the existence of different sites where radical formation occurred, at the sn-2 acyl chain, ethanolamine moiety (particularly in C-1) and, in the case of glycated derivatives, also in the glucose moiety (particularly in C-3, C-4 and C-5). CONCLUSIONS These results suggested the presence of more sites susceptible to oxidation in glycated PLPE, which may be responsible for the increase in the oxidative reaction rate occurring in glycated compounds.

Abstract
Oxidized and chlorinated phospholipids are generated under inflammatory conditions and are increasingly understood to play important roles in diseases involving oxidative stress. MS is a sensitive and informative technique for monitoring phospholipid oxidation that can provide structural information and simultaneously detect a wide variety of oxidation products, including chain-shortened and -chlorinated phospholipids. MSn technologies involve fragmentation of the compounds to yield diagnostic fragment ions and thus assist in identification. Advanced methods such as neutral loss and precursor ion scanning can facilitate the analysis of specific oxidation products in complex biological samples. This is essential for determining the contributions of different phospholipid oxidation products in disease. While many pro-inflammatory signalling effects of oxPLs (oxidized phospholipids) have been reported, it has more recently become clear that they can also have anti-inflammatory effects in conditions such as infection and endotoxaemia. In contrast with free radical-generated oxPLs, the signalling effects of chlorinated lipids are much less well understood, but they appear to demonstrate mainly pro-inflammatory effects. Specific analysis of oxidized and chlorinated lipids and the determination of their molecular effects are crucial to understanding their role in disease pathology.

Abstract
Phospholipids are complex and varied biomolecules that are susceptible to lipid peroxidation after attack by free radicals or electrophilic oxidants and can yield a large number of different oxidation products. There are many available methods for detecting phospholipid oxidation products, but also various limitations and problems. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry allows the simultaneous but specific analysis of multiple species with good sensitivity and has a further advantage that it can be coupled to liquid chromatography for separation of oxidation products. Here, we explain the principles of oxidized phospholipid analysis by electrospray mass spectrometry and describe fragmentation routines for surveying the structural properties of the analytes, in particular precursor ion and neutral loss scanning. These allow targeted detection of phospholipid headgroups and identification of phospholipids containing hydroperoxides and chlorine, as well as the detection of some individual oxidation products by their specific fragmentation patterns. We describe instrument protocols for carrying out these survey routines on a QTrap5500 mass spectrometer and also for interfacing with reverse-phase liquid chromatography. The article highlights critical aspects of the analysis as well as some limitations of the methodology.

Abstract
We have used an infrared laser to ablate materials under ambient conditions that were captured in solvent droplets. The droplets were either deposited on a MALDI target for off-line analysis by MALDI time-of-flight mass spectrometry or flow-injected into a nanoelectrospray source of an ion trap mass spectrometer. An infrared optical parametric oscillator (OPO) laser system at 2.94 μm wavelength and approximately 1 mJ pulse energy was focused onto samples for ablation at atmospheric pressure. The ablated material was captured in a solvent droplet 1-2 mm in diameter that was suspended from a silica capillary a few millimeters above the sample target. Once the sample was transferred to the droplet by ablation, the droplet was deposited on a MALDI target. A saturated matrix solution was added to the deposited sample, or in some cases, the suspended capture droplet contained the matrix. Peptide and protein standards were used to assess the effects of the number of IR laser ablation shots, sample to droplet distance, capture droplet size, droplet solvent, and laser pulse energy. Droplet collected samples were also injected into a nanoelectrospray source of an ion trap mass spectrometer with a 500 nL injection loop. It is estimated that pmol quantities of material were transferred to the droplet with an efficiency of approximately 1%. The direct analysis of biological fluids for off-line MALDI and electrospray was demonstrated with blood, milk, and egg. The implications of this IR ablation sample transfer approach for ambient imaging are discussed.

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
Lipid peroxidation is recognized to be an important contributor to many chronic diseases, especially those of an inflammatory pathology. In addition to their value as markers of oxidative damage, lipid peroxidation products have also been shown to have a wide variety of biological and cell signalling effects. In view of this, accurate and sensitive methods for the measurement of lipid peroxidation products are essential. Although some assays have been described for many years, improvements in protocols are continually being reported and, with recent advances in instrumentation and technology, highly specialized and informative techniques are increasingly used. This article gives an overview of the most currently used methods and then addresses the recent advances in some specific approaches. The focus is on analysis of oxysterols, F(2)-isoprostanes and oxidized phospholipids by gas chromatography or liquid chromatography mass spectrometry techniques and immunoassays for the detection of 4-hydroxynonenal.

Abstract
Marine phospholipids (MPL) have attracted a great deal of attention recently as they are considered to have a better bioavailability, a better resistance towards oxidation and a higher content of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA) than oily triglycerides (fish oil) from the same source. Due to their tight intermolecular packing conformation at the sn-2 position and their synergism with α-tocopherol present in MPL extracts, they can form stable liposomes which are attractive ingredients for food or feed applications. However, MPL are still susceptible to oxidation as they contain large amounts polyunsaturated fatty acids and application of MPL in food and aquaculture industries is therefore a great challenge for researchers. Hence, knowledge on the oxidative stability of MPL and the behavior of MPL in food and feed systems is an important issue. For this reason, this review was undertaken to provide the industry and academia with an overview of (1) the stability of MPL in different forms and their potential as liposomal material, and (2) the current applications and future prospects of MPL in both food and aquaculture industries with special emphasis on MPL in the liposomal form.

Oxidation of glycated phosphatidylethanolamines: evidence of oxidation in glycated polar head identified by LC-MS/MS. Anal Bioanal Chem 2010; 397:2417-27.

Abstract
Phosphatidylethanolamine glycation occurs in diabetic patients and was found to be related with oxidative stress and with diabetic complications. Glycated phosphatidylethanolamines seem to increase oxidation of other molecules; however, the reason why is not understood. In this work, we have studied the oxidation of glycated phosphatidylethanolamines (1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (PLPE) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (dPPE)) using a Fenton system. Liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometry and ESI-tandem mass spectrometry in both positive and negative modes were used for detecting and identifying the oxidation products. We were able to identify several oxidation products with oxidation in unsaturated sn-2 acyl chain of PLPE, as long- and short-chain products with main oxidation sites on C-7, C-8, C-9, and C-12 carbons. Other products were identified in both glycated PLPE and glycated dPPE, revealing that oxidation also occurs in the glycated polar head. This fact has not been reported before. These products may be generated from oxidation of glycated phosphatidylethanolamines (PE) as Schiff base, leading to short-chain product without the amine moiety, due to cleavage of glycated polar head and long-chain product with two keto groups linked to the glycated polar head or from glycated PE as Amadori product, short-chain products with -NHCHO and -NHCHOHCHO terminal in polar head. Oxidation of glycated phosphatidylethanolamines occurred more quickly than the oxidation of non-glycated phosphatidylethanolamines probably because of the existence of more oxidation sites derived from glycation of polar head group. Monitoring glycated polar head oxidation could be important to evaluate oxidative stress modifications that occur in diabetic patients.

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
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 crucial role of lipids in cell, tissue and organ physiology is demonstrated by a large number of genetic studies and by many human diseases that involve the disruption of lipid metabolic enzymes and pathways. Examples of such diseases include cancer, diabetes, as well as neurodegenerative and infectious diseases. So far, the explosion of information in the fields of genomics and proteomics has not been matched by a corresponding advancement of knowledge in the field of lipids, which is largely due to the complexity of lipids and the lack of powerful tools for their analysis. Novel analytical approaches--in particular, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry--for systems-level analysis of lipids and their interacting partners (lipidomics) now make this field a promising area of biomedical research, with a variety of applications in drug and biomarker development.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation process has attracted much attention due to the growing evidence of its involvement in the pathogenesis of age-related diseases. The monitoring of the lipid peroxidation products in phospholipids, formed under oxidative stress conditions, may provide new markers for oxidative stress signaling and for disease states, giving new insights in the pathogenesis process. Reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method coupled to mass spectrometry was developed for the separation of oxidized glycero-phosphatidylcholine (GPC) peroxidation products formed by the Fenton reaction that mimic in vivo oxidative stress conditions. The LC-MS conditions were applied for the separation of peroxidation products of oleoyl- (POPC), lineloyl- (PLPC) and arachidonoyl-palmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (PAPC). The peroxidation products separated included products resulting from the insertion of oxygen atoms in the sn-2 chain (long-chain), and products with the sn-2 chain shortened resulting from cleavage of oxygen-centered radicals (short-chain). Among long-chain products were the keto, hydroxy, hydroperoxide and poly-hydroxy derivatives, while short-chain products included dicarboxylic acids, aldehydes and hydroxy-aldehydes. Separation of long-chain products formed in each phosphatidylcholine was observed, and the reconstructed ion chromatogram of each ion showed an increase in the number of peaks with the increase in the number of oxygen atoms inserted into the phospholipid. Separation of short-chain products took place according to the functional group present at the sn-2 moiety that allowed the elution of dicarboxylic acids distinct from aldehydes. Separation between isomeric structures that were present in short- and long-chain products was also achieved.

Abstract
The oxidation of lipids is important in many pathological conditions and lipid peroxidation products such as 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and other aldehydes are commonly measured as biomarkers of oxidative stress. However, it is often useful to complement this with analysis of the original oxidized phospholipid. Electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS) provides an informative method for detecting oxidative alterations to phospholipids, and has been used to investigate oxidative damage to cells, and low-density lipoprotein, as well as for the analysis of oxidized phosphatidylcholines present in atherosclerotic plaque material. There is increasing evidence that intact oxidized phospholipids have biological effects; in particular, oxidation products of 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerophosphocholine (PAPC) have been found to cause inflammatory responses, which could be potentially important in the progression of atherosclerosis. The effects of chlorohydrin derivatives of lipids have been much less studied, but it is clear that free fatty acid chlorohydrins and phosphatidylcholine chlorohydrins are toxic to cells at concentrations above 10 micromolar, a range comparable to that of HNE and oxidized PAPC. There is some evidence that chlorohydrins have biological effects that may be relevant to atherosclerosis, but further work is needed to elucidate their pro-inflammatory properties, and to understand the mechanisms and balance of biological effects that could result from oxidation of complex mixtures of lipids in a pathophysiological situation.

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
The interest in the analysis of lipids and phospholipids is continuously increasing due to the importance of these molecules in biochemistry (e.g. in the context of biomembranes and lipid second messengers) as well as in industry. Unfortunately, commonly used methods of lipid analysis are often time-consuming and tedious because they include previous separation and/or derivatization steps. With the development of "soft-ionization techniques" like electrospray ionization (ESI) or matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF), mass spectrometry became also applicable to lipid analysis. The aim of this review is to summarize so far available experiences in MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric analysis of lipids. It will be shown that MALDI-TOF MS can be applied to all known lipid classes and the characteristics of individual lipids will be discussed. Additionally, some selected applications in medicine and biology, e.g. mixture analysis, cell and tissue analysis and the determination of enzyme activities will be described. Advantages and disadvantages of MALDI-TOF MS in comparison to other established lipid analysis methods will be also discussed.

Lineloyl-palmitoyl (PLPC) and arachidonoyl-palmitoyl (PAPC) phosphatidylcholine were oxidized under Fenton reaction conditions (H2O2 and Fe2+), and the short-chain products formed were identified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The short-chain products resulted from beta-cleavage of oxygen-centered radicals and comprised aldehydes, hydroxyaldehydes and dicarboxylic acids that yielded both [MH]+ and [MNa]+ ions. The fragmentation of the [MH]+ and [MNa]+ ions of the peroxidation products was studied by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The MS/MS spectra of both ions showed ions resulting from characteristic losses of glycerophosphatidylcholine. Other product ions, resulting from C-C cleavages occurring in the vicinity of the functional group, and fragmentations involving the hydroxy groups, were the most informative since they allowed us to obtain structural information relating to the sn-2 acyl residue. Both fragmentation pathways are due to charge-remote fragmentation occurring by a 1,4-hydrogen elimination mechanism and/or by homolytic cleavage. Furthermore, the fragmentation pathway of some ions observed in the ESI-MS spectrum was not consistent with the fragmentation behavior expected for some of the short-chain species identified in the literature and allowed the reassignment of the ions as different structures. Isobaric ions were observed in the ESI-MS spectra of both oxidized phospholipids, and were differentiated based on distinct fragmentation. The detailed knowledge of lipid peroxidation degradation products is of major importance and should be very valuable in providing new markers for oxidative stress signaling and for disease states monitoring.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in many pathologies, including sub- and infertility. Freeze/thawing of sperm samples is routinely performed in the cattle breeding industries in order to perform artificial insemination. This freeze/thaw procedure is known to induce ROS in sperm samples. Lipid peroxidation in fresh and frozen/thawed sperm cells was assessed by mass spectrometric analysis of the main endogenous phospholipid class, phosphatidylcholine, and by fluorescence techniques using the lipid peroxidation reporter probe C11-BODIPY(581/591). Peroxidation as reported by the fluorescent probe, clearly corresponded with the presence of hydroxy- and hydroperoxyphosphatidylcholine in the sperm membranes, which are early stage products of lipid peroxidation. This allowed us, for the first time, to correlate endogenous lipid peroxidation with localization of this process in living sperm cells. Lipid peroxidation was particularly strong in the midpiece and tail of frozen/thawed spermatozoa and significantly less intense in the head. Induction of peroxidation in fresh sperm cells with the lipid soluble ROS tert-butylhydroperoxide gave an even more pronounced effect, demonstrating antioxidant activity in the head of fresh sperm cells. Furthermore, we were able to show that spontaneous peroxidation was not a result of cell death, as only a pronounced subpopulation of living cells showed peroxidation after freeze/thawing.

Abstract
Phagocytic cells produce a variety of oxidants as part of the immune defence, which react readily both with proteins and lipids, and could contribute to the oxidation of low density lipoprotein in atherosclerosis. We have investigated the oxidation of phospholipid vesicles by neutrophils and mononuclear cells, to provide a model of lipid oxidation in the absence of competing protein. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-stimulated neutrophils were incubated with phospholipid vesicles containing dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, palmitoyl-arachidonoyl phosphatidylcholine (PAPC) and stearoyl-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine, before extraction of the lipids for analysis by HPLC coupled to electrospray mass spectrometry. The formation of monohydroperoxides (814 m/z) and bishydroperoxides (846 m/z) of PAPC was observed. However, the major oxidized product occurred at 828 m/z,and was identified as 1-palmitoyl-2-(5,6-epoxyisoprostane E2)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. These products were also formed in incubations where the neutrophils were replaced by mononuclear cells, and the amounts produced per million cells were similar. These results show that following oxidative attack by phagocytes stimulated by PMA, intact phospholipid oxidation products can be detected. The identification of an epoxyisoprostane phospholipid as the major product of phagocyte-induced phospholipid oxidation is novel, and in view of its inflammatory properties has implications for phagocyte involvement in atherogenesis.

Abstract
Phospholipids with sites of unsaturation are targets of peroxidation. We investigated the effect of two types of lipids with identical headgroups, sphingomyelins (SMs) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), on the extent of oxidation of stearoyl-arachidonoyl phosphatidylcholine (SAPC) with four double bonds. Peroxidation was induced with tert-butylhydroperoxide and FeCl(2) at 35 degrees C. The decrease of SAPC versus DPPC, or N-palmitoyl SM, or N-stearoyl SM, was monitored by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) at various reaction times. For corresponding molar ratios of DPPC:SAPC and SM:SAPC, SAPC oxidized faster and to a greater extent when DPPC, rather than N-palmitoyl SM or bovine brain SMs, was present. However, at 35 degrees C the hydrophobic tails in SM mixtures were more disordered than in those of DPPC. The slower oxidation of SAPC in SM-rich vesicles may result from the presence of a tight network of H-bonds that bridge neighboring SM molecules and poses a stronger interfacial barrier to the passage of oxidants.

Abstract
In this study the interaction of the preservative sodium chlorite with unsaturated lipids and glutathione was investigated, in comparison with peroxides, sodium hypochlorite, and benzalkonium chloride. The aim was to determine whether the action of sodium chlorite could involve membrane lipid damage or antioxidant depletion, and how this related to toxicity in both mammalian and microbial cells. The treatment of phospholipids with chlorite yielded low levels of hydroperoxides, but sodium chlorite oxidized the thiol-containing antioxidant glutathione to its disulfide form very readily in vitro, with a 1:4 oxidant:GSH stoichiometry. In cultured cells, sodium chlorite also caused a substantial depletion of intracellular glutathione, whereas lipid oxidation was not very prominent. Sodium chlorite had a lower toxicity to ocular mammalian cells than benzalkonium chloride, which could be responsible for the different effects of long-term application in the eye. The fungal cells, which were most resistant to sodium chlorite, maintained higher percentage levels of intracellular glutathione during treatment than the mammalian cells. The results show that sodium chlorite can cause oxidative stress in cells, and suggest that cell damage is more likely to be due to interaction with thiol compounds than with cell membrane lipids. The study also provides important information about the differential resistance of ocular cells and microbes to various preservatives and oxidants.

Abstract
Different methods were established for monitoring the phospholipase A(2)(PLA(2)) activity but all of them are rather cumbersome and time consuming. In this paper we have investigated the suitability of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for the determination of the PLA(2) activity. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) was digested with pancreatic PLA(2) under different conditions, i.e., various Ca(2+), PC, and PLA(2) concentrations. The digestion products were analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS and the concentration of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)-generated upon PLA(2) digestion-was determined by the application of an internal standard (known concentration) and by a comparison of their signal-to-noise ratios. The results clearly demonstrate that the LPC concentration determined from the MALDI-TOF mass spectra correlates directly with the activity of the applied enzyme. Additionally, LPC concentration increased with an increase in Ca(2+), as well as in the PC concentration. A single MALDI-TOF mass spectrum provides immediate information on the digestion products as well as on the residual substrate without requirements for any previous derivatization. MALDI-TOF MS can be easily and simply applied for monitoring the PLA(2) activity and we assume that this method might also be useful for other types of phospholipases.

Abstract
The ferrous oxidation-xylenol orange (FOX) assay was adapted for quantifying lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) in plant extracts. Excised pieces of several fruit and vegetable species were exposed to 83 kJ m(-2) day(-1) of biologically effective ultraviolet B irradiance (UV-B(BE)) for 10-12 days to induce cellular oxidation. The LOOH and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) concentrations of these plant tissues were assessed with the FOX and iodometric assays for the former and a modified TBARS assay for the latter. There was generally good agreement between the FOX and iodometric methods both prior to and following the UV exposure. However, the iodometric assay appeared to have some difficulty in consistently quantifying lower LOOH levels (<11 microM), whereas the FOX assay measured LOOH concentrations as low as 5 microM. All tissues exhibited UV-induced increases in TBARS, indicating a marked degree of cellular oxidation in the exposed tissue segments. Compared with the iodometric assay, the FOX method consistently generated less variable LOOH values. The presence of authentic linoleic acid-OOHs in spiked avocado and spinach samples (11 microM) was identified with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques, which validated corresponding FOX assay results. The FOX method is inexpensive, is not sensitive to ambient O2 or light levels, and can rapidly generate LOOH measurements. The physiological value of the FOX assay resides in its ability to measure initial rather than more advanced fatty acid oxidation; hence, early membrane-associated stress events in plant tissue can be detected.

Abstract
Effects of hypochlorous acid and of the myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-chloride system on mono- and polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholines were analyzed by means of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Chlorohydrins and glycols were detected as main products according to the characteristic shift of molecular masses. Mainly mono-chlorohydrins result upon the incubation of HOCl/(-)OCl with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, whereas only traces of mono-glycols were detected. 1-Palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine yielded a complex mixture of products. Mono-chlorohydrins and glycols dominated only at short incubation, while bis-chlorohydrins as well as products containing one chlorohydrin and one glycol moiety appeared after longer incubation. Similarly, a complex product mixture resulted upon incubation of 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine with hypochlorous acid. Additionally, tris-chlorohydrins, products with two chlorohydrin and one glycol moiety, as well as lysophosphatidylcholines and fragmentation products of the arachidonoyl side chain were detectable. Mono-chlorohydrins of 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine were detected after the incubation of the latter phospholipid with the myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-chloride system at pH 6.0. These chlorohydrins were not observed in the absence of chloride, hydrogen peroxide, or myeloperoxidase as well as in the presence of methionine, taurine, or sodium azide. Thus, mono-chlorohydrins in 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine produced by hypochlorous acid from the myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-chloride system can also be detected by means of MALDI-TOF MS.

Abstract
The molecular species in mixtures of phospholipid hydroperoxides are difficult to separate and identify by typical chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques. As reported by Havrilla and coworkers, silver ion coordination ion-spray mass spectrometry (CIS-MS) has proven to be a powerful technique for the identification of mixtures of hydroperoxides. This ionization technique, which involves the formation of Ag+ adducts of the hydroperoxides, provides valuable, unambiguous structural information about the hydroperoxides. Herein, we report a method for the analysis and identification of phospholipid hydroperoxides using CIS-MS. We also report an improved method for the separation of phospholipid hydroperoxides by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), which, for the first time, separates some of the hydroperoxide isomers. CIS-MS can be coupled with this RP-HPLC method by the addition of AgBF4 to the mobile phase or to the HPLC effluent postcolumn, thus allowing powerful HPLC-MS techniques to be used to identify complex mixtures of phospholipid hydroperoxides.

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
Matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been recently established as a powerful tool for the analysis of biomolecules. Here, MALDI-TOF MS was used for the detection of (poly-)phosphoinositides (PPI). PPI possess higher molecular weights than other phospholipids and a high phosphorylation-dependent negative charge. Both features affect the MALDI detection limits expressed as the minimum of analyte on the sample plate resulting in a signal-to-noise-ratio of S/N = 5. Using 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) as matrix the detection limit for phosphatidylinositol (PI) is seven times higher than for phosphatidylcholine (PC) and further increases with increasing phosphorylation or in mixtures with other well-detectable phospholipids. For phosphatidylinositol-tris-phosphate (PIP3) in a mixture with PC, the limit is about 20 times higher than for PI. The consequences for the experimental conditions are discussed. It is advisable to pre-separate PPI from biological lipid mixtures prior to the application of MALDI-TOF MS.
