The emerging field of lipidomics
TLDR
Novel analytical approaches — in particular, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry — for systems-level analysis of lipids and their interacting partners (lipidomics) now make this field a promising area of biomedical research, with a variety of applications in drug and biomarker development.Abstract:
The crucial role of lipids in cell, tissue and organ physiology is demonstrated by a large number of genetic studies and by many human diseases that involve the disruption of lipid metabolic enzymes and pathways. Examples of such diseases include cancer, diabetes, as well as neurodegenerative and infectious diseases. So far, the explosion of information in the fields of genomics and proteomics has not been matched by a corresponding advancement of knowledge in the field of lipids, which is largely due to the complexity of lipids and the lack of powerful tools for their analysis. Novel analytical approaches--in particular, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry--for systems-level analysis of lipids and their interacting partners (lipidomics) now make this field a promising area of biomedical research, with a variety of applications in drug and biomarker development.read more

Lipid extraction by methyl-tert-butyl ether for high-throughput lipidomics
TL;DR: In this paper, the methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) extraction method was used for shotgun profiling of lipid species, and the results showed that the MTBE protocol delivered similar or better recoveries of species of most major lipid classes compared with the "gold-standard" Folch or Bligh and Dyer recipes.

TL;DR: This work has combined targeted and non-targeted NMR, GC-MS and LC-MS methods with computer-aided literature mining to identify and quantify a comprehensive, if not absolutely complete, set of metabolites commonly detected and quantified (with today's technology) in the human serum metabolome.

Global analysis of the yeast lipidome by quantitative shotgun mass spectrometry
Christer S. Ejsing,Julio L. Sampaio,Vineeth Surendranath,Eva Duchoslav,Kim Ekroos,Robin W. Klemm,Kai Simons,Andrej Shevchenko +7 more
TL;DR: Comparative lipidomics demonstrated that growth temperature and defects in lipid biosynthesis induce ripple effects throughout the molecular composition of the yeast lipidome, establishing shotgun lipidomics as a powerful platform for complementing biochemical studies and other systems-level approaches.

TL;DR: It is shown that tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced CTSD activation depends on functional acid sphingomyelinase (A-SMase) expression, and results link as novel endosomal intermediates the A- SMase and the acid aspartate protease C TSD to the mitochondrial apoptotic TNF pathway.

An NMR-based metabonomic approach to investigate the biochemical consequences of genetic strain differences: application to the C57BL10J and Alpk:ApfCD mouse.
TL;DR: A new ‘metabotype’ concept is suggested, which will be of value in relating quantitative physiological and biochemical data to both phenotypic and genetic variation in animals and man.
A defect incholesterol esterification inNiemann-Pick disease (type C)patients
TL;DR: Pentchev et al. as mentioned in this paper examined the capacity of fibroblasts derived from Niemann-Pick patients toesterify exogenously derived cholesterol and found that these cells were able to internalize andlysosomally process lipoprotein cholesterol.
