Structural characterization of glycerophospholipids beyond the fatty acid level has become a major endeavor in lipidomics, presenting an opportunity to advance the understanding of the intricate relationship between lipid metabolism and disease state. Distinguishing subtle lipid structural features, however, remains a major challenge for high-throughput workflows that implement traditional tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) techniques, stunting the molecular depth of quantitative strategies. Here, reversed phase liquid chromatography is coupled to parallel reaction mass spectrometry utilizing the double bond localization capabilities of ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) mass spectrometry to produce double bond isomer specific responses that are leveraged for relative quantitation. The strategy provides lipidomic characterization at the double bond level for phosphatidylcholine phospholipids from biological extracts. In addition to quantifying monounsaturated lipids, quantitation of phospholipids incorporating isomeric polyunsaturated fatty acids is also achieved. Using this technique, phosphatidylcholine isomer ratios are compared across human normal and tumor breast tissue to reveal significant structural alterations related to disease state.
