Comprehensive analyses of oxidized phospholipids using a measured MS/MS spectra library.

ABSTRACT: Oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) are widely held to be associated with various diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and cancer. To characterize the structure-specific behavior of OxPLs and their physiological relevance, we developed a comprehensive analytical method by establishing a measured MS/MS spectra library of OxPLs. Biogenic OxPLs were prepared by the addition of specific oxidized fatty acids to cultured cells, where they were incorporated into cellular phospholipids, and untargeted lipidomics by LC-quadrupole/TOF-MS was applied to collect MS/MS spectra for the OxPLs. Based on the measured MS/MS spectra for about 400 molecular species of the biogenic OxPLs, we developed a broad-targeted lipidomics system using triple quadrupole MS. Separation precision of structural isomers was optimized by multiple reaction monitoring analysis and this system enabled us to detect OxPLs at levels as low as 10 fmol. When applied to biological samples, i.e., mouse peritoneal macrophages, this system enabled us to monitor a series of OxPLs endogenously produced in a 12/15-lipoxygenase-dependent manner. This advanced analytical method will be useful to elucidate the structure-specific behavior of OxPLs and their physiological relevance in vivo.

Project description:Ethanol metabolism by liver generates short lived reactive oxygen species that damage liver but also affects distal organs through unknown mechanisms. We hypothesized that dissemination of liver oxidative stress proceeds through release of biologically active oxidized lipids to the circulation. We searched for these by tandem mass spectrometry in plasma of rats fed a Lieber-DeCarli ethanol diet or in patients with established alcoholic liver inflammation, steatohepatitis. We found a severalfold increase in plasma peroxidized phosphatidylcholines, inflammatory and pro-apoptotic oxidatively truncated phospholipids, and platelet-activating factor, a remarkably potent and pleiotropic inflammatory mediator, in rats chronically ingesting ethanol. Circulating peroxidized phospholipids also increased in humans with established steatohepatitis. However, reactive oxygen species generated by liver ethanol catabolism were not directly responsible for circulating oxidized phospholipids because the delayed appearance of these lipids did not correlate with ethanol exposure, hepatic oxidative insult, nor plasma alanine transaminase marking hepatocyte damage. Rather, circulating oxidized lipids correlated with steatohepatitis and tumor necrosis factor-alpha deposition in liver. The organic osmolyte 2-aminoethylsulfonic acid (taurine), which reduces liver endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammation, even though it is not an antioxidant, abolished liver damage and the increase in circulating oxidized phospholipids. Thus, circulating oxidized phospholipids are markers of developing steatohepatitis temporally distinct from oxidant stress associated with hepatic ethanol catabolism. Previously, circulating markers of the critical transition to pathologic steatohepatitis were unknown. Circulating oxidatively truncated phospholipids are pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic mediators with the potential to systemically distribute the effect of chronic ethanol exposure. Suppressing hepatic inflammation, not ethanol catabolism, reduces circulating inflammatory and apoptotic agonists.
