Characterization of linoleic acid nitration in human blood plasma by mass spectrometry

Abstract

Nitric oxide (*NO) is a pervasive free radical species that concentrates in lipophilic compartments to serve as a potent inhibitor of lipid and low-density lipoprotein oxidation processes. In this study, we synthesized, characterized, and detected nitrated derivatives of linoleic acid (18:2) in human blood plasma using high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. While the reaction of nitronium tetrafluoroborate with 18:2 presented ions with a mass/charge (m/z) ratio of 324 in the negative ion mode, characteristic of nitrolinoleate (LNO(2)), the reaction of nitrite (NO(2)(-)) with linoleic acid hydroperoxide yielded nitrohydroxylinoleate (LNO(2)OH, m/z 340). Further analysis by MS/MS gave a major fragment at m/z 46, characteristic of a nitro group (-NO(2)) present in the parent ion. This was confirmed by using [(15)N]O(2), which gave products of m/z 325 and 341, that after fragmentation yielded a daughter ion at m/z 47. Moreover, a C-NO(2) structure was also demonstrated in LNO(2)OH by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((15)N NMR, delta 375.9), as well as by infrared analysis in both LNO(2)OH (nu(max) = 3427, 1553, and 1374 cm(-1)) and LNO(2) (nu(max) = 1552 and 1373 cm(-1)). Stable products with m/z of 324 and 340, which possessed the same chromatographic characteristics and fragmentation pattern as synthesized standards, were found in human plasma of normolipidemic and hyperlipidemic donors. The presence of these novel nitrogen-containing oxidized lipid adducts in human plasma could represent "footprints" of the antioxidant action of *NO on lipid oxidation and/or a pro-oxidant and nitrating action of *NO-derived species.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
