Glycation modulates alpha-synuclein fibrillization kinetics: a sweet spot for inhibition. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:101848. [PMID: 35314196 PMCID: PMC9034100 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.101848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 03/05/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Glycation is a nonenzymatic posttranslational modification (PTM) known to be increased in the brains of hyperglycemic patients. Alpha-synuclein (αSN), a central player in the etiology of Parkinson’s disease, can be glycated at lysine residues, thereby reducing αSN fibril formation in vitro and modulating αSN aggregation in cells. However, the molecular basis for these effects is unclear. To elucidate this, we investigated the aggregation of αSN modified by eight glycating agents, namely the dicarbonyl compound methylglyoxal (MGO) and the sugars ribose, fructose, mannose, glucose, galactose, sucrose, and lactose. We found that MGO and ribose modify αSN to the greatest extent, and these glycation products are the most efficient inhibitors of fibril formation. We show glycation primarily inhibits elongation rather than nucleation of αSN and has only a modest effect on the level of oligomerization. Furthermore, glycated αSN is not significantly incorporated into fibrils. For both MGO and ribose, we discovered that a level of ∼5 modifications per αSN is optimal for inhibition of elongation. The remaining sugars showed a weak but optimal inhibition at ∼2 modifications per αSN. We propose that this optimal level balances the affinity for the growing ends of the fibril (which decreases with the extent of modification) with the ability to block incorporation of subsequent αSN subunits (which increases with modification). Our results are not only relevant for other αSN PTMs but also for understanding PTMs affecting other fibrillogenic proteins and may thus open novel avenues for therapeutic intervention in protein aggregation disorders.

The Role of Phosphatidylethanolamine Adducts in Modification of the Activity of Membrane Proteins under Oxidative Stress. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24244545. [PMID: 31842328 PMCID: PMC6943717 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24244545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2019] [Revised: 12/09/2019] [Accepted: 12/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their derivatives, reactive aldehydes (RAs), have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including metabolic, cardiovascular, and inflammatory disease. Understanding how RAs can modify the function of membrane proteins is critical for the design of therapeutic approaches in the above-mentioned pathologies. Over the last few decades, direct interactions of RA with proteins have been extensively studied. Yet, few studies have been performed on the modifications of membrane lipids arising from the interaction of RAs with the lipid amino group that leads to the formation of adducts. It is even less well understood how various multiple adducts affect the properties of the lipid membrane and those of embedded membrane proteins. In this short review, we discuss a crucial role of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and PE-derived adducts as mediators of RA effects on membrane proteins. We propose potential PE-mediated mechanisms that explain the modulation of membrane properties and the functions of membrane transporters, channels, receptors, and enzymes. We aim to highlight this new area of research and to encourage a more nuanced investigation of the complex nature of the new lipid-mediated mechanism in the modification of membrane protein function under oxidative stress.

Mass spectrometry strategies to unveil modified aminophospholipids of biological interest. MASS SPECTROMETRY REVIEWS 2019; 38:323-355.

Abstract
The biological functions of modified aminophospholipids (APL) have become a topic of interest during the last two decades, and distinct roles have been found for these biomolecules in both physiological and pathological contexts. Modifications of APL include oxidation, glycation, and adduction to electrophilic aldehydes, altogether contributing to a high structural variability of modified APL. An outstanding technique used in this challenging field is mass spectrometry (MS). MS has been widely used to unveil modified APL of biological interest, mainly when associated with soft ionization methods (electrospray and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization) and coupled with separation techniques as liquid chromatography. This review summarizes the biological roles and the chemical mechanisms underlying APL modifications, and comprehensively reviews the current MS-based knowledge that has been gathered until now for their analysis. The interpretation of the MS data obtained by in vitro-identification studies is explained in detail. The perspective of an analytical detection of modified APL in clinical samples is explored, highlighting the fundamental role of MS in unveiling APL modifications and their relevance in pathophysiology.

Abstract
The Maillard reaction is a nonenzymatic glycation reaction between a reducing sugar and a free amino group, known to naturally occur during heat processing of food. In this study, we especially focused on phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-linked Amadori products (Amadori-PE) in powdered milk, since the analysis of these products at the molecular species level has not yet been evaluated. Analysis of Amadori-PE was conducted by using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in three different modes. The main Amadori-PE species in a powdered milk sample were first identified as 34:1, 36:1, 36:2 and 36:3 in the total ion current mode. Additionally, by using the characteristic product ions observed in the presence of sodium, we quantified the main Amadori-PE species in the multiple reaction monitoring mode, and evaluated their total concentrations in the precursor ion scan (PIS) mode for the first time. Powdered milk contained much Amadori-PE with concentrations ranging from 4.3 to 8239 mg/100 g, quantified by the PIS mode. The newly developed methods represent powerful tools for detailed analysis of glycated lipids including Amadori-PE in powdered milk, which may further be applied to research relating to infant food and nutrition.

Abstract
Food allergens have a notable potential to induce various health concerns in susceptible individuals. The majority of allergenic foods are usually subjected to thermal processing prior to their consumption. However, during thermal processing and long storage of foods, Maillard reaction (MR) often takes place. The MR is a non-enzymatic glycation reaction between the carbonyl group of reducing sugars and compounds having free amino groups. MR may sometimes be beneficial by damaging epitope of allergens and reducing allergenic potential, while exacerbation in allergic reactions may also occur due to changes in the motifs of epitopes or neoallergen generation. Apart from these modulations, non-enzymatic glycation can also modify the food protein(s) with various type of advance glycation end products (AGEs) such as Nϵ-(carboxymethyl-)lysine (CML), pentosidine, pyrraline, and methylglyoxal-H1 derived from MR. These Maillard products may act as immunogen by inducing the activation and proliferation of various immune cells. Literature is available to understand pathogenesis of glycation in the context of various diseases but there is hardly any review that can provide a thorough insight on the impact of glycation in food allergy. Therefore, present review explores the pathogenesis with special reference to food allergy caused by non-enzymatic glycation as well as AGEs.

Development of a direct in-matrix extraction (DIME) protocol for MALDI-TOF-MS detection of glycated phospholipids in heat-treated food samples. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2014; 49:831-839.

Abstract
In foodstuffs, one of the main factors inducing modifications in phospholipids (PLs) structure is the heat treatment. Among PLs, only phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylserines, due to their free amino group, can be involved in Maillard reaction and can form adducts with reducing sugars, besides other by-products called advanced glycation end-products. To date, glycated lipid products are less characterized in comparison to proteins. The aim of this work was to develop a novel, rapid and sensitive extraction protocol for the detection and characterization of modified PLs (glycated and oxidized) by means of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). At first, to investigate the formation of glycated and/or short chain by-products in different classes of PLs, representative standards were heated with or without sugar (lactose or glucose) and subjected to traditional lipid extraction methods as Bligh and Dyer and to the novel direct in matrix extraction (DIME) using 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene as preconcentrating matrix. MALDI-MS analysis in negative ion mode allowed detecting glycation and oxidation products both on fatty acid and glucose moieties. Then, the procedure was successfully applied to different heat-treated and powdered samples (milk powders, pasteurized milk, ultra-high-temperature milk and soy flour) for the detection of modified PLs in complex foods. The currently developed DIME protocol could be a powerful tool for understanding lipid glycation also in biological samples.

Abstract
The reaction of reducing carbohydrates with amino compounds described in 1912 by Louis-Camille Maillard is responsible for the aroma, taste, and appearance of thermally processed food. The discovery that non-enzymatic conversions also occur in organisms led to intensive investigation of the pathophysiological significance of the Maillard reaction in diabetes and ageing processes. Dietary Maillard products are discussed as "glycotoxins" and thus as a nutritional risk, but also increasingly with regard to positive effects in the human body. In this Review we give an overview of the most important discoveries in Maillard research since it was first described and show that the complex reaction, even after over one hundred years, has lost none of its interdisciplinary actuality.

Abstract
Peroxidation of membranes and lipoproteins converts "inert" phospholipids into a plethora of oxidatively modified phospholipids (oxPL) that can act as signaling molecules. In this review, we will discuss four major classes of oxPL: mildly oxygenated phospholipids, phospholipids with oxidatively truncated acyl chains, phospholipids with cyclized acyl chains, and phospholipids that have been oxidatively N-modified on their headgroups by reactive lipid species. For each class of oxPL we will review the chemical mechanisms of their formation, the evidence for their formation in biological samples, the biological activities and signaling pathways associated with them, and the catabolic pathways for their elimination. We will end by briefly highlighting some of the critical questions that remain about the role of oxPL in physiology and disease.

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
Non-enzymatic modification of aminophospholipids by lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes and reducing sugars through carbonyl-amine reactions are thought to contribute to the age-related deterioration of cellular membranes and to the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Much evidence demonstrates the modification of aminophospholipids by glycation, glycoxidation and lipoxidation reactions. Therefore, a number of early and advanced Maillard reaction-lipid products have been detected and quantified in different biological membranes. These modifications may be accumulated during aging and diabetes, introducing changes in cell membrane physico-chemical and biological properties.

Abstract
Recent instrumental analyses using a hybrid quadrupole/linear ion trap spectrometer in LC-MS/MS have demonstrated that the Maillard reaction progresses not only on proteins but also on amino residues of membrane lipids such as phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), thus forming Amadori-PE (deoxy-D: -fructosyl PE) as the principal products. The plasma Amadori-PE level is 0.08 mol% of the total PE in healthy subjects and 0.15-0.29 mol% in diabetic patients. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and pyridoxal are the most effective lipid glycation inhibitors, and the PE-pyridoxal 5'-phosphate adduct is detectable in human red blood cells. These findings are beneficial for developing a potential clinical marker for glycemic control as well as potential compounds to prevent the pathogenesis of diabetic complications and atherosclerosis. Glucose and other aldehydes, such as glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and glycolaldehyde, react with the amino residues of proteins to form Amadori products and Heynes rearrangement products. Because several advanced glycation end-product (AGE) inhibitors such as pyridoxamine and benfotiamine inhibit the development of retinopathy and neuropathy in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, AGEs may play a role in the development of diabetic complications. In the present review, we describe the recent progress and future applications of the Maillard reaction research regarding lipid and protein modifications in diabetes and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic glycation of biomolecules has been implicated in the pathophysiology of aging and diabetes. Among the potential targets for glycation are biological membranes, characterized by a complex organization of lipids and proteins interacting and forming domains of different size and stability. In the present study, we analyse the effects of glycation on the interactions between membrane proteins and lipids. The phospholipid affinity for the transmembrane surface of the PMCA (plasma-membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase) was determined after incubating the protein or the phospholipids with glucose. Results show that the affinity between PMCA and the surrounding phospholipids decreases significantly after phosphospholipid glycation, but remains unmodified after glycation of the protein. Furthermore, phosphatidylethanolamine glycation decreases by approximately 30% the stability of PMCA against thermal denaturation, suggesting that glycated aminophospholipids induce a structural rearrangement in the protein that makes it more sensitive to thermal unfolding. We also verified that lipid glycation decreases the affinity of lipids for two other membrane proteins, suggesting that this effect might be common to membrane proteins. Extending these results to the in vivo situation, we can hypothesize that, under hyperglycaemic conditions, glycation of membrane lipids may cause a significant change in the structure and stability of membrane proteins, which may affect the normal functioning of membranes and therefore of cells.

Abstract
Peroxidized phospholipid-mediated cytotoxity is involved in the pathophysiology of a number of diseases [i.e., the abnormal increase of phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide (PCOOH) found in the plasma of type 2 diabetic patients]. The PCOOH accumulation may relate to Amadori-glycated phosphatidylethanolamine (deoxy-D-fructosyl PE, or Amadori-PE), because Amadori-PE causes oxidative stress. However, lipid glycation inhibitor has not been discovered yet because of the lack of a lipid glycation model useful for inhibitor screening. We optimized and developed a lipid glycation model considering various reaction conditions (glucose concentration, temperature, buffer type, and pH) between PE and glucose. Using the developed model, various protein glycation inhibitors (aminoguanidine, pyridoxamine, and carnosine), antioxidants (ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol, quercetin, and rutin), and other food compounds (L-lysine, L-cysteine, pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate) were evaluated for their antiglycative properties. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and pyridoxal (vitamin B(6) derivatives) were the most effective antiglycative compounds. These pyridoxals could easily be condensed with PE before the glucose/PE reaction occurred. Because PE-pyridoxal 5'-phosphate adduct was detectable in human red blood cells and the increased plasma Amadori-PE concentration in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats was decreased by dietary supplementation of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, it is likely that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate acts as a lipid glycation inhibitor in vivo, which possibly contributes to diabetes prevention.

Abstract
Peroxidized phospholipid-mediated cytotoxicity is involved in the pathophysiology of diseases [i.e., an abnormal increase of phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide (PCOOH) in plasma of type 2 diabetic patients]. The PCOOH accumulation may relate to Amadori-glycated phosphatidylethanolamine (Amadori-PE; deoxy-D-fructosyl phosphatidylethanolamine), because Amadori-PE causes oxidative stress. However, the occurrence of lipid glycation products, including Amadori-PE, in vivo is still unclear. Consequently, we developed an analysis method of Amadori-PE using a quadrupole/linear ion-trap mass spectrometer, the Applied Biosystems QTRAP. In positive ion mode, collision-induced dissociation of Amadori-PE produced a well-characterized diglyceride ion ([M+H-303]+) permitting neutral loss scanning and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). When lipid extract from diabetic plasma was infused directly into the QTRAP, Amadori-PE molecular species could be screened out by neutral loss scanning. Interfacing liquid chromatography with QTRAP mass spectrometry enabled the separation and determination of predominant plasma Amadori-PE species with sensitivity of approximately 0.1 pmol/injection in MRM. The plasma Amadori-PE level was 0.08 mol% of total PE in healthy subjects and 0.15-0.29 mol% in diabetic patients. Furthermore, plasma Amadori-PE levels were positively correlated with PCOOH (a maker for oxidative stress). These results show the involvement between lipid glycation and lipid peroxidation in diabetes pathogenesis.

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
Escherichia coli was found to grow on fructoselysine as an energetic substrate at a rate of about one-third of that observed with glucose. Extracts of cells grown on fructoselysine catalyzed in the presence of ATP the phosphorylation of fructoselysine and a delayed formation of glucose 6-phosphate from this substrate. Data base searches allowed us to identify an operon containing a putative kinase (YhfQ) belonging to the PfkB/ ribokinase family, a putative deglycase (YhfN), homologous to the isomerase domain of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase, and a putative cationic amino acid transporter (YhfM). The proteins encoded by YhfQ and YhfN were overexpressed in E. coli, purified, and shown to catalyze the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of fructoselysine to a product identified as fructoselysine 6-phosphate by 31P NMR (YhfQ), and the reversible conversion of fructoselysine 6-phosphate and water to lysine and glucose 6-phosphate (YhfN). The K(m) of the kinase for fructoselysine amounted to 18 microm, and the K(m) of the deglycase for fructoselysine 6-phosphate, to 0.4 mm. A value of 0.15 m was found for the equilibrium constant of the deglycase reaction. The kinase and the deglycase were both induced when E. coli was grown on fructoselysine and then reached activities sufficient to account for the rate of fructoselysine utilization.

Abstract
While the Maillard reaction of amino acids and proteins as well as its consequences in vivo has been thoroughly investigated, little attention has so far been paid to the glycation of aminophospholipids such as phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) or phosphatidylserine (PS), which are essential for structure and functionality of biological membranes. PE-derived glucosylamines (Schiff-PEs) and aminoketoses (Amadori-PEs) have now for the first time been simultaneously identified and quantified in erythrocytes from diabetics and healthy individuals by liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-(ESI)MS). The amounts of glycated PE (gPE) were significantly higher in diabetics (0.18-34.2 mol% Schiff-PE and 0.047-0.375 mol% Amadori-PE) than in controls (0.12-3.99 mol% Schiff-PE and 0.018-0.055 mol% Amadori-PE). A positive correlation between fructosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) and the gPE levels was established. No advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) like 5-hydroxymethylpyrrole-2-carbaldehyde (pyrrole-PE), carboxymethyl (CM-PE), or carboxyethyl (CE-PE) derivatives were detected. To investigate the influence of gPE on lipid peroxidation of biological membranes, liposomes consisting of soy-PE and synthetically prepared Amadori-PE (16:0-16:0) were incubated for several days and the formation of oxidation products was monitored. It could be shown that Amadori-PE extensively promotes lipid peroxidation even in the absence of transition metal ions like Cu(2+) and Fe(3+). Oxidative damage to membrane lipids therefore is supposed to be at least partially caused by the glycation of aminophospholipids.

Abstract
Liposomes composed of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), cholesterol and a neoglycolipid, mannopentaose-conjugated dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (Man5-DPPE), have been shown to have a strong adjuvant effect in inducing the antigen-specific cellular immunity. In this study, a rapid and simple analytical method using a HPLC system with an evaporative light scattering detector was developed for simultaneous quantification of the liposome components Man5-DPPE, cholesterol and DPPC. The chromatographic separation of these components was performed using a trimethylsilane column with an isocratic mobile phase of chloroform-methanol-water (1:33:6, v/v) after disrupting the liposomes with chloroform-methanol-water (10:10:3, v/v). This HPLC method provided sufficient reproducibility and linearity of calibration curves for the quantification of the liposome constituents. In addition, this method can be used for the quantification of various neoglycolipids with different carbohydrate structures.

Abstract
This study for the first time confirmed the peroxidative role of the Amadori product derived from the glycation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), namely Amadori-PE. The product was synthesized from the reaction of dioleoyl PE with D-glucose, and then purified by a solid-phase extraction procedure, which was a key step in the next HPLC technique for the isolation of essentially pure Amadori-PE. When the synthetically prepared Amadori-PE was incubated with linoleic acid in the presence of Fe(3+) in micellar system, a remarkable formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances was observed together with increases in lipid hydroperoxides. In addition, the lipid peroxidation caused by Amadori-PE was effectively inhibited by superoxide dismutase, mannitol, catalase and metal chelator. These results indicated that Amadori-PE triggers oxidative modification of lipids via the generation of superoxide, and implied the involvement of 'lipid glycation' along with membrane lipid peroxidation in the pathogenesis of diabetes and aging.

Abstract
Phospholipid-linked glycation products are supposed to play an important role in lipid oxidation in vivo. Independent syntheses and unequivocal structural characterization are reported for the phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE)-derived Amadori compound 4-hydroxy-4-oxo-1-[(palmitoyloxy)methyl]-9-(2,3,4,5-tetrahydrox ytetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-3,5-dioxa-8-aza-4lambda5-ph osphanon-1-yl palmitate, pyrrolecarbaldehyde 2-[[[2-[2-formyl-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]ethoxy](hydroxy)phosph oryl]oxy]-1-[(palmitoyloxy)methyl]ethyl palmitate, the carboxymethyl (CM) derivative 7-hydroxy-7,13-dioxo-10-(palmitoyloxy)-6,8,12-trioxa-3-aza-+ ++7lambda5-phosphaoctacosan-1-oic acid, and the carboxyethyl (CE) derivative 7-hydroxy-2-methyl-7,13-dioxo-10-(palmitoyloxy)-6,8,12-trioxa++ +-3-aza-7lambda5-phosphaoctacosan-l-oic acid. With these reference compounds, a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) method for the determination of such PE-linked Maillard products has been developed.

Abstract
While the Maillard reaction of free amino acids and proteins is a well-established process, no defined structures from the nonenzymatic browning of aminophospholipids in foodstuffs have been described so far. Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-linked glucosylamines (Schiff-PE), Amadori products (Amadori-PE), 5-hydroxymethylpyrrole-2-carbaldehydes (Pyrrole-PE), and carboxymethyl (CM-PE) as well as carboxyethyl (CE-PE) derivatives were detected and quantified by liquid chromatography- electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-(ESI)MS). Model incubations of soy-PE and D-glucose were employed to firmly establish the LC-(ESI)MS procedure. Analyses of spray-dried egg yolk powders and lecithin products derived therefrom show one-fourth of the native D-glucose content of egg yolk to be transformed to Amadori-PE, corresponding to a PE derivatization quota of 11-15.5 mol %. Schiff-PE and Pyrrole-PE were present only in low amounts, no CM-PE and CE-PE could be identified in any of the investigated samples. The high glycation rate of egg yolk PE will influence the emulsifying properties and perhaps even the oxidation resistance of the respective products.

Abstract
Glycation of both protein and lipid components is believed to be involved in LDL oxidation. However, the relative importance of lipid and protein glycation in the oxidation process has not been established, and products of lipid glycation have not been isolated. Using glucosylated phosphatidylethanolamine (Glc PtdEtn) prepared synthetically, we have identified glycated diacyl and alkenylacyl species among the ethanolamine phospholipids in LDL. Accumulation of these glycation products in LDL incubated with glucose showed a time- and glucose concentration-dependent increase. LDL specifically enriched with Glc PtdEtn (25 nmol/mg protein) showed increased susceptibility to lipid oxidation when dialyzed against a 5-micromol/L Cu(2+) solution. The presence of this glucosylated lipid resulted in a 5-fold increase in production of phospholipid-bound hydroperoxides and 4-fold increase in phospholipid-bound aldehydes. Inclusion of glucosylated phosphatidylethanolamine in the surface lipid monolayer of the LDL resulted in rapid loss of polyunsaturated cholesteryl esters from the interior of the particle during oxidation. Glycated ethanolamine phospholipids were also isolated and identified from atherosclerotic plaques collected from both diabetic and nondiabetic subjects. The present findings provide direct evidence for the previously proposed causative effect of lipid glycation on LDL oxidation.

Abstract
Phospholipid-linked 'advanced glycation end products' (AGEs) are supposed to play an important role for lipid oxidation in vivo. The identification of the pyrrolecarbaldehyde 1-[2-formyl-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1 H-pyrrol-1-yl]-4,10-dioxo-7-(tetradecanoyloxy)-3,5,9-trioxa- 4lambda5-phosphatricosan-4-olate (7) from model reactions of D-glucose or 3-deoxyglucosone (4, 3-DG) with phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE) is described. A preparation method is given for 1-(2-hydrox¿ethyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde (8). Independent syntheses as well as unequivocal structural characterization are reported for the substitution products of 8 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5-(methoxymethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde (9a) and 5-(ethoxymethyl)-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde (9b). For all these compounds, chromatographic and spectroscopic data were established by GLC-MS and HPLC with diode array detection (DAD). PE and D-glucose or 3-DG 4 were either incubated at pH 7.4, 100 degrees C for 3 h or at pH 7.4, 37 degrees C for 5 weeks in neat buffer or ethanol buffer mixtures. The phospholipid fraction was purified on a C18 solid-phase extraction column and cleaved with ethanolic potassium hydroxide. The carbaldehyde 8, released in this process, was identified bs GLC-MS and quantified by HPLC-DAD. Formation of 7 is favored in the ethanol buffer reactions relative to those in buffer solution only although the amounts determined from the 37 degrees C incubations generally are very low. It seems likely, therefore, that phospholipid-linked pyrrolecarbaldehydes, such as 7, are biomarkers rather than effectors of membrane damage in vivo.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic glycation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been suggested to be responsible for the increase in susceptibility to atherogenesis of diabetic individuals. Although the association of lipid glycation with this process has been investigated, the effect of specific lipid glycation products on LDL metabolism has not been addressed. This study reports that glucosylated phosphatidylethanolamine (Glc-PtdEtn), the major LDL lipid glycation product, promotes LDL uptake and cholesteryl ester (CE) and triacylglycerol (TG) accumulation by THP-1 macrophages. Incubation of THP-1 macrophages at a concentration of 100 micrograms/ml protein LDL specifically enriched (10 nmol/mg LDL protein) with synthetically prepared Glc-PtdEtn resulted in a significant increase in CE and TG accumulation when compared with LDL enriched in non-glucosylated PtdEtn. After a 24-h incubation with LDL containing Glc-PtdEtn, the macrophages contained 2-fold higher CE (10.11 +/- 1.54 micrograms/mg cell protein) and TG (285.32 +/- 4.38 micrograms/mg cell protein) compared with LDL specifically enriched in non-glucosylated PtdEtn (CE, 3.97 +/- 0.95, p < 0.01 and TG, 185.57 +/- 3.58 micrograms/mg cell protein, p < 0.01). The corresponding values obtained with LDL containing glycated protein and lipid were similar to those of LDL containing Glc-PtdEtn (CE, 11.9 +/- 1.35 and TG, 280.78 +/- 3.98 micrograms/mg cell protein). The accumulation of both neutral lipids was further significantly increased by incubating the macrophages with Glc-PtdEtn LDL exposed to copper oxidation. By utilizing the fluorescent probe, 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3', 3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI), a 1.6-fold increase was seen in Glc-PtdEtn + LDL uptake when compared with control LDL. Competition studies revealed that acetylated LDL is not a good competitor for DiI Glc-PtdEtn LDL (5-6% inhibition), whereas glycated LDL gave an 80% inhibition, and LDL + Glc-PtdEtn gave 93% inhibition of uptake by macrophages. These results indicate that glucosylation of PtdEtn in LDL accounts for the entire effect of LDL glycation on macrophage uptake and CE and TG accumulation and, therefore, the increased atherogenic potential of LDL in hyperglycemia.

MgATP has different inhibitory effects on the use of 1-acyl-lysophosphatidylcholine and lyso platelet-activating factor acceptors by neuronal nuclear acetyltransferase activities.

Abstract
The inhibitory effects of MgATP on neuronal nuclear acetyltransferase activities were studied using lyso platelet-activating factor (lyso-PAF, 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) and lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PC, 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine). The nuclear (N1) acetylation of lyso-PC was more profoundly inhibited by MgATP. MgATP did not alter the apparent Km for acetyl-CoA in either acetylation reaction. The inhibitory effects of MgATP were not seen for other nucleotides or MgAMP-PCP. Kinase inhibitors such as staurosporine (1 microM), chelerythrine, and R59022 (diglyceride kinase inhibitor I) did not block the MgATP inhibition of either acetylation. However, the addition of phospholipids to the assays indicated a selective inhibitory effect for PIP (25-50 microM) in the nuclear acetylation of lyso-PAF. When N1 was incubated with [gamma-33P]ATP, phosphatidic acid and PIP were the principal radioactive lipid products. While the extent of MgATP inhibition of lyso-PAF acetylation was similar at different concentrations of lyso-PAF, increasing lyso-PC concentrations greatly decreased the MgATP inhibition seen in lyso-PC acetylations. Nuclear envelopes prepared in the presence of PMSF, and fraction N1 exposed to PMSF, did not show the inhibitory effect of MgATP on lyso-PC acetylation. PMSF (an inhibitor of certain phospholipase and lysophospholipase activities) did not reduce the MgATP inhibition of lyso-PAF acetylation. Arachidonoyl trifluoromethylketone, an inhibitor of cytosolic phospholipases A2 and of lysophospholipase activity associated with cPLA2, also blocked the inhibitory effect of MgATP on lyso-PC acetylation. Using radioactive lyso-PC substrate, fraction N1 produced labeled free fatty acid and phosphatidylcholine. In the presence of acetyl-CoA, the production of radioactive phosphatidylcholine increased almost 6-fold when MgATP was also included in these incubations. In the presence of MgATP and acetyl-CoA, PMSF reduced the levels of radioactive free fatty acid and phosphatidylcholine derived from lyso-PC, while Triacsin C, an inhibitor of acyl CoA synthetase, decreased phosphatidylcholine labeling. These findings suggest that MgATP inhibition of lyso-PC acetylation results from a loss of lyso-PC substrate that is largely mediated by nuclear lysophospholipase, acyl-CoA synthetase and lyso-PC acylation. Thus the neuronal nuclear production of Acyl PAF may be regulated by paths that compete for the lyso-PC substrate. In contrast, the acetylation of lyso-PAF is inhibited by PIP, a product of nuclear PI kinase reactions.

Abstract
The selectivity of alkylglycerophosphate (AGP) acetyltransferase and lyso-platelet-activating factor (lyso-PAF) acetyltransferase was studied in neuronal nuclei isolated from cerebral cortices of 15-day-old rabbits. Specifically, 1-alkyl and 1-acyl analogues were compared as acceptors in these acetylation reactions. A number of observations supported one nuclear activity in the acetylation of AGP and lyso-PA. Lyso-PA was a competitive substrate for AGP, Km values for AGP and lyso-PA were similar, as were acetylation rates measured at individual AGP or lyso-PA concentrations, and the acetylation of both substrates was unaffected by preincubations with protein phosphatase 1 (PP-1). In contrast, there were a number of differences seen in the acetylation of lyso-PAF and lyso-PC. The kinetics for lyso-PC acetylation (as a function of lyso-PC concentration) were not hyperbolic, and lyso-PC was not a competitive substrate for the acetylation of lyso-PAF. Unlike acetylation rates with lyso-PAF, lyso-PC acetylation was not reduced by preincubations with PP-1, and was less susceptible to inhibition particularly at high levels of free fatty acid. In addition, rates of acetylation of lyso-PC were selectively increased by the presence of lyso-PA. When neuronal nuclear envelope fractions (NE) were prepared from N1, the specific acetylation activity with lyso-PAF was significantly lower in NE, while the activities for lyso-PC were comparable in NE and the parent N1 fraction. The results with the acetylation of lyso-PC and lyso-PAF suggest that the lyso-PC acetyltransferase may be in a uniquely sequestered state within the neuronal nucleus. This could explain the smaller inhibition of lyso-PC acetylation by free fatty acid, the maintenance of lyso-PC acetylation during PP-1 preincubations, the non-hyperbolic response to lyso-PC concentrations and the selective preservation of lyso-PC acetylation during NE isolation. This protected status could result from a more internal location for this acetyltransferase within the membranes of the nuclear envelope, or possibly an association of the enzyme with the nuclear matrix that is disrupted with the exposure of N1 to lyso-PA.

Abstract
Using chiral-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI/MS), we have redetermined the stereochemical configuration of some natural and synthetic phosphatidylglycerols (PG). For this purpose, the synthetic and natural PG were converted to their bis-3,5-dinitrophenylurethanes (DNPU), which were separated by HPLC using two columns having chiral phases of opposite configuration, (R)-(+)- and (S)-(-)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine polymers. The molecular species were identified by on-line negative-ion ESI/MS. Absolute configurations of the resolved peaks were assigned by comparison with the elution order of the corresponding 1(3)-monoacyl-sn-glycerol enantiomers as bis-DNPU derivatives on the same column. The results clearly showed that the PG from cabbage leaf lipids and soybean phospholipids consisted of single R,S isomers (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-1'-sn-glycerols), despite the presence of nonstereospecific phospholipase D in the tissues. On the other hand, the PG derived from egg yolk phosphatidylcholine and glycerol by transphosphatidylation with cabbage phospholipase D was a mixture of 45% R,S isomers (1, 2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-1'-sn-glycerols) and 55% R,R isomers (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-3'-sn-glycerols). The PG from Escherichia coli lipids was a mixture of 89% R,S and 11% R,R isomers. The present study demonstrates that chiral-phase HPLC and negative-ion ESI/MS provide direct and unambiguous information about the configuration, identity, and quantity of molecular species in natural and synthetic PG.

Abstract
We have prepared Schiff base adducts of the core aldehydes of phosphatidylcholine and aminophospholipids, free amino acids, and myoglobin. The Schiff bases of the ethanolamine and serine glycerophospholipids were obtained by reacting sn-1-palmitoyl(stearoyl)-2-[9-oxo]nonanoyl-glycerophosphocholine (PC-Ald) with a twofold excess of the aminophospholipid in chloroform/methanol 2:1 (vol/vol) for 18 h at room temperature. The Schiff bases of the amino acids and myoglobin were obtained by reacting the aldehyde with an excess of isoleucine, valine, lysine, methyl ester lysine and myoglobin in aqueous methanol for 18 h at room temperature. Prior to isolation, the Schiff bases were reduced with sodium cyanoborohydride in methanol for 30 min at 4 degrees C. The reaction products were characterized by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and on-line mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization. The amino acids and aminophospholipids yielded single adducts. A double adduct was obtained for myoglobin, which theoretically could have accepted up to 23 PC-Ald groups. The yields of the products ranged from 12 to 44% for the aminophospholipids and from 15-57% for the amino acids, while the Schiff base of the myoglobin was estimated at 5% level. The new compounds are used as reference standards for the detection of high molecular weight Schiff bases in lipid extracts of natural products.

Abstract
Aminophospholipids, including glycerophosphatidylethanolamine, glycerophosphatidylserine and their Lyso analogous, have been analyzed by positive and negative ion liquid secondary ion ionization coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. The mass spectra of aminophospholipids obtained by tandem mass spectrometers with different configuration (liquid secondary ion-electric-magnetic sector coupled to quadrupole mass analyzer (low-energy collision) or electric-magnetic sector (high-energy collision), as well as electrospray ionization-quadrupole mass analyzer combined with quadrupole mass analyzer (low-energy collision), are compared. The mass spectra produced by low-energy collisionally induced dissociation of the deprotonated molecules from aminophospholipids contain fragment ions for characterizing polar head moieties as well as fatty acid composition and position. The mass spectra generated by high-energy collisionally induced dissociation of both protonated and deprotonated molecules from aminophospholipids show numerous product ions for identifying polar heads, composition, and location of fatty acid chains in molecular species. Triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization exhibits remarkable superiority in detection sensitivity. Liquid secondary ion with electric-magnetic sector coupled to quadrupole mass analyzer or electric-magnetic sector instrument has the advantage of the capability of properly determining location of fatty acid chains in molecular species. This paper also describes an approach for structurally analyzing aminophospholipid species as 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl derivatives by positive and negative ion liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry and high-energy collisionally induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry. It has been found that the derivatives of glycerophosphatidylethanolamine and glycerophosphatidylserine can readily be analyzed by the negative ion liquid secondary ion and tandem mass spectrometric methods.

Abstract
Glycosylation is a major pathway for posttranslational modification of tissue protein and begins with nonenzymatic addition of carbohydrate to the primary amino groups. Excessive glycation of tissue protein has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes and ageing. While glycation of aminophospholipids has also been postulated, glycated aminophospholipids have not been isolated. Using normal phase HPLC with on-line electrospray mass spectrometry we found glycated ethanolamine phospholipids to make up 10-16% of the total phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) of the red blood cells and plasma of the diabetic subjects. The corresponding values for glycated PE of control subjects were 1-2%.
