Protein adducts of aldehydic lipid peroxidation products identification and characterization of protein adducts using an aldehyde/keto-reactive probe in combination with mass spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: This chapter describes a mass spectrometry-based strategy that facilitates the unambiguous identification and characterization of proteins modified by lipid peroxidation-derived 2-alkenals. The approach employs a biotinylated hydroxyl amine derivative as an aldehyde/keto-reactive probe in conjunction with selective enrichment and tandem mass spectrometric analysis. Methodological details are given for model studies involving a distinct protein and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE). The method was also evaluated for an exposure study of a cell culture system with HNE that yielded the major protein targets of HNE in human monocytic THP-1 cells. The application of the approach to complex biological systems is demonstrated for the identification and characterization of endogenous protein targets of aldehydic lipid peroxidation products present in cardiac mitochondria.
