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.

Pedersen,Steven R. Smith,Fiona Bamforth,Russell Greiner,Bruce M. McManus,John W. Newman,Theodore L. Goodfriend,David S. Wishart,David S. Wishart +24 more
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.

ABC transporters in cancer: more than just drug efflux pumps.
TL;DR: It is proposed that delineating the precise roles of these transporters in tumorigenesis and treatment response will be important for the development of more effective targeted therapies.

The model organism as a system: integrating 'omics' data sets.
TL;DR: Researchers are rising to the challenge by using omics data integration to address fundamental biological questions that would increase the understanding of systems as a whole.

Ceramide synthase mediates daunorubicin-induced apoptosis: An alternative mechanism for generating death signals
Ron Bose,Marcel Verheij,Adriana Haimovitz-Friedman,Kathleen W. Scotto,Zvi Fuks,Richard Kolesnick +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ceramide synthase activity can be regulated in eukaryotes and constitute definitive evidence for a requirement for ceramide elevation in the induction of apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
PIP2 and Proteins: Interactions, Organization, and Information Flow
TL;DR: The hypothesis that proteins such as MARCKS bind a significant fraction of the PIP2 in a cell, helping to sequester it in lateral membrane domains, then release this lipid in response to local signals such as an increased concentration of Ca(++)/calmodulin or activation of protein kinase C is considered.

Evidence for Budding of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Selectively from Glycolipid-Enriched Membrane Lipid Rafts
TL;DR: A model for the budding of HIV virions through lipid rafts is proposed whereby host cell cholesterol, sphingolipids, and GPI-linked proteins within these domains are incorporated into the viral envelope, perhaps as a result of preferential sorting of HIV Gag to lipid rafting.
Journal ArticleDOI
A lipid associated with the antiphospholipid syndrome regulates endosome structure and function
TL;DR: This work shows that these internal membranes contain large amounts of a unique lipid, and thus form specialized domains within endosomes, involved in sorting the multifunctional receptor for insulin-like growth factor 2 and ligands bearing mannose-6-phosphate, in particular lysosomal enzymes.

Amyloid β-peptide (1-42)-induced Oxidative Stress and Neurotoxicity: Implications for Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's Disease Brain. A Review
TL;DR: It is suggested that Met-35 is key to the oxidative stress and neurotoxic properties of Abeta(1-42), consistent with the notion of a coupling of the oxidative environment in AD brain and increased risk of developing this disorder.
