  • Title: Lipid Identification by Untargeted Tandem Mass Spectrometry Coupled with Ultra-High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography.
    Author: Gugiu GB.
    Journal: Methods Mol Biol; 2017; 1609():65-82. PubMed ID: 28660575.
    Abstract:
    Lipidomics refers to the large-scale study of lipids in biological systems (Wenk, Nat Rev Drug Discov 4(7):594-610, 2005; Rolim et al., Gene 554(2):131-139, 2015). From a mass spectrometric point of view, by lipidomics we understand targeted or untargeted mass spectrometric analysis of lipids using either liquid chromatography (LC) (Castro-Perez et al., J Proteome Res 9(5):2377-2389, 2010) or shotgun (Han and Gross, Mass Spectrom Rev 24(3):367-412, 2005) approaches coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. This chapter describes the former methodology, which is becoming rapidly the preferred method for lipid identification owing to similarities with established omics workflows, such as proteomics (Washburn et al., Nat Biotechnol 19(3):242-247, 2001) or genomics (Yadav, J Biomol Tech: JBT 18(5):277, 2007). The workflow described consists in lipid extraction using a modified Bligh and Dyer method (Bligh and Dyer, Can J Biochem Physiol 37(8):911-917, 1959), ultra high pressure liquid chromatography fractionation of lipid samples on a reverse phase C18 column, followed by tandem mass spectrometric analysis and in silico database search for lipid identification based on MSMS spectrum matching (Kind et al., Nat Methods 10(8):755-758, 2013; Yamada et al., J Chromatogr A 1292:211-218, 2013; Taguchi and Ishikawa, J Chromatogr A 1217(25):4229-4239, 2010; Peake et al., Thermoscientifices 1-3, 2015) and accurate mass of parent ion (Sud et al., Nucleic Acids Res 35(database issue):D527-D532, 2007; Wishart et al., Nucleic Acids Res 35(database):D521-D526, 2007).
