The combination of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid and 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone matrices for unequivocal assignment of phosphatidylethanolamine species in complex mixtures

Overview
Unequivocal assignment of phospholipid peaks in complex mixtures is difficult if only the m/z values but no tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data are available. This is usually the case for matrix-assisted laser/desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) MS imaging experiments and the analysis has normally to be performed without prior separation. Another problem might be the often matrix-induced loss of one methyl group in phosphatidylcholine (PC) species, which makes them detectable as negative ions becoming isomers of some phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs). Selected lipid mixtures of known compositions were investigated by negative ion MALDI-TOF MS and various imaging experiments. In addition to common matrices such as 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) and 9-aminoacridine (9-AA), different binary matrices, including 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone (2,5-DHAP) as matrix additive to DHB, were tested to probe their performance in both ionization modes. Beside artificial PC and PE mixtures of known compositions, egg yolk and liver extracts as well as cryosections from liver and pancreas tissue were selected as biologically relevant systems. The majority of the binary MALDI matrices used here leads to the loss of a methyl group from PC in the negative ion mode, which makes the clear identification of PE species ambiguous. However, this problem does not apply if a mixture of DHB and 2,5-DHAP is used. Therefore, the application of DHB/2,5-DHAP as matrix is a simple method to unequivocally identify PEs even in complex mixtures and tissue sections as negative ions and without the necessity to separate the individual lipid classes prior to MS detection.
