Previous studies in our laboratory have demonstrated the peroxidation of myocardial phospholipid in a canine model of reversible global normothermic ischemia and reperfusion while on cardiopulmonary bypass. The present study examines the distribution of phospholipid peroxidation products in three major cellular organelle fractions of myocardium prepared by established centrifugal fractionation procedures (sarcolemma, sarcoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria). These organelles were isolated from control (nonischemic) and ischemic-reperfused myocardium harvested during early reperfusion (5 min), when previous studies indicated maximal peroxidative injury in whole myocardial biopsies. Utilizing a more rapid analytic procedure for measuring phospholipid containing the conjugated diene chromophore in the polyunsaturated fatty acyl substituents, we were able to establish the fidelity of this procedure by comparing the results obtained with it to the previous more laborious analytic procedure (involving phospholipid hydrolysis with phospholipase A2 and subsequent derivatization for high-pressure liquid chromatography followed by gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis). Analysis of phospholipid extracts from organelle fractions for evidence of peroxidative conjugated diene formation revealed that sarcolemmal membranes had the highest content of oxidized phospholipid containing the conjugated diene chromophore (mean 2.2 +/- 1.2 nmol phospholipid-conjugated diene/mumol phospholipid phosphorus, P less than 0.02 compared with control). Both sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial membranes were also peroxidized but to a much smaller extent (mean 0.4 +/- 0.2 and 0.3 +/- 0.25 nmol phospholipid conjugated diene/mumol phospholipid phosphorus).
