Objectives: Phospholipids (PLs) are increasingly recognized as key molecules with potential diagnostic value in acute inflammation, CVD and atherosclerosis. We introduce a pioneer mass spectrometry (MS)based approach aiming to investigate the relationship of specific plasma PL-subsets with atherogenic blood parameters in young patients with familial hyperlipidemia representing high-CVD-risk groups. Methods: Plasma of carefully phenotyped FH and FCH patients as well as normolipidemic subjects (age 13 +/- 5 years, n - 20) was used. Clinical parameters were assessed using standard laboratory techniques and lipids were subjected to a direct targeted monitoring using LC-ESI-SRM- and MALDI-QIT-TOF-MS/MS, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate correlations between PL data and the clinical parameters. Results: Most characteristically significant differences of SM/PC and PC/LPC ratios and positive correlations between SM vs. LDL-C (r = 0.946; p = 0.004) and LPC vs. VLDL-C (r = 0.669; p = 0.218) were observed in FH in contrast to the other study groups. OxPC levels were found in the range of similar to 2-20 mu mol/L with predominance of short-chain aldehydic species (e. g. SOVPC). A positive correlation of OxPCs with IMT (r = 0.952; p = 0.052) and HDL-C (r = 0.893; p = 0.016) but negative correlation with OxLDL (r = -0.910; p = 0.096) was observed. Conclusions: Our study was a first attempt to use a MALDI-QIT-TOF-MS/MS based clinical lipidomics approach to investigate atherogenic dyslipidemia in young patients with familial hyperlipidemia. This technique represents a promising platform for clinical screening of lipid biomarkers in the future. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
