Traditional identification techniques require [32P]inorganic phosphate or [3H]inositol radiolabeling, acidified lipid extraction, deacylation, and ion-exchange head group separation, which are time-consuming and not suitable for samples in which radiolabeling is impractical, thus greatly restricting the study of these lipids in many physiologically relevant systems. Thus, we have developed a novel, high-efficiency, buffered citrate extraction methodology to minimize acid-induced phosphoinositide degradation, together with a high-sensitivity liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) protocol using an acetonitrile-chloroform-methanol-water-ethylamine gradient with a microbore silica column that enables the identification and quantification of all phosphoinositides in a sample. The liquid chromatograph is sufficient to resolve PtdInsP3 and PtdInsP2 regioisomers; however, the PtdInsP regioisomers require a combination of LC and diagnostic fragmentation to MS3. Data are presented using this approach for the analysis of phosphoinositides in human platelet and yeast samples.
