Abstract: | The primary amino groups of biomolecules such as aminophospholipids, as well as proteins, are the potential targets of covalent modifications by lipid peroxidation products; however, little attention has been paid to the modification of aminophospholipids such as phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). The purpose of this study is to characterize the formation of a novel modified phospholipid, N-(hexanoyl)phosphatidylethanolamine (HEPE), in the reaction of PE with lipid hydroperoxides using mass spectrometric analyses. Upon reaction of egg PE with 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid or other oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids followed by phospholipase D-mediated hydrolysis, the formation of N-(hexanoyl)ethanolamine (HEEA), a head group of HEPE, was confirmed by isotope dilution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. Moreover, increasing HEEA was detected in the hydrolysates of oxidized erythrocyte ghosts and low-density lipoprotein with their increasing lipid peroxidation levels. Collectively, these results suggest that the N-hexanoylated product of phospholipid, HEPE, can be generated during lipid peroxidation and may serve as one mechanism for the covalent modification of aminophospholipids in vivo. |
