Oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. During the oxidation of LDL, cholesteryl esters, the major lipid components in LDL, are oxidized to cholesteryl ester hydroperoxides (CEOOH). The isomers of CEOOH may reflect the reactive species that initiate the peroxidation reaction. In the current study, a novel analytical method for the determination of CEOOH isomers, especially cholesteryl linoleate hydroperoxide isomers, was developed using the combination of two chromatographic techniques: (i) thin-layer chromatography blotting with diphenyl-1-pyrenylphosphine (DPPP) fluorescent detection (DPPP-TLC blotting) and (ii) gas chromatography-electron ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-EI-MS). CEOOH was applied to DPPP-TLC blotting, the obtained DPPP-derived fluorescent spots containing cholesteryl ester hydroxides were extracted and derivatized (hydrogenation, transmethylation, and trimethylsilylation), and the formed methyl ester/trimethylsilylether derivatives of hydroxyoctadecenoic acid were then analyzed by GC-EI-MS. The CEOOH isomers were determined by selected ion monitoring of isomer-specific fragment ions originated from the alpha-cleavage of the trimethylsilyloxyl group. Using these two chromatographic techniques, we were able to detect isomeric CEOOH in the oxidized human LDL. Our results indicated that GC-EI-MS analysis combined with DPPP-TLC blot is a specific method for analyzing cholesteryl ester hydroperoxide isomers in biological samples such as oxidized LDL.
