Abstract

Glycerophospholipids consist of a glycerophosphate backbone to which are esterified two acyl chains and a polar head group. The head group (e.g., choline, ethanolamine, serine or inositol) defines the glycerophospholipid class, while the acyl chains together with the head group define the glycerophospholipid molecular species. Stable heavy isotope (e.g., deuterium)-labeled head group precursors added to the culture medium incorporate efficiently into glycerophospholipids of mammalian cells, which allows one to determine the rates of synthesis, acyl chain remodeling or turnover of the individual glycerophospholipids using mass spectrometry. This protocol describes how to study the metabolism of the major mammalian glycerophospholipids i.e., phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines, phosphatidylserines and phosphatidylinositols with this approach.

Background

Radiolabeled precursors have been extensively used to study glycerophospholipid (GPL) metabolism in cultured cells. However, this approach has serious drawbacks. First of all, it is unfeasible to study the metabolism of all molecular species of GPLs due to the fact that it is not possible, without reverting to highly complicated and time-consuming protocols, to separate the individual molecular species from each other (Patton et al., 1982), which is obviously necessary to study their metabolism. Second, the radioisotopes needed are quite expensive. Third, for optimal labeling, the unlabeled precursors should be depleted of the medium as much as possible. Fourth, only two different precursors (labeled with ³H or ¹⁴C) can be added to the cells simultaneously and even then accurate correction for the overlap between the isotope spectra is necessary upon liquid scintillation counting of the collected fractions. Because of those handicaps, a number of studies have recently introduced an alternative approach to study GPL metabolism (e.g., Heikinheimo and Somerharju, 2002; de Kroon, 2007; Kainu et al., 2008; Postle and Hunt, 2009; Kainu et al., 2013; Hermansson et al., 2016). This approach is based on the use of stable heavy isotope-labeled precursors and mass spectrometric (MS) analysis of GPL labeling. Clearly, this approach is far more convenient and efficient as compared to the traditional methods based on the use of radiolabeled precursors, due to the following facts: (a) multiple labeled precursors can be added simultaneously to the culture medium thus providing information on several GPL classes, (b) labeled and unlabeled GPLs can be conveniently and selectively detected using head group–specific scanning modes, (c) information is obtained on the turnover of individual GPL molecular species and (d) the stable heavy isotope-labeled precursors are generally much cheaper than the radiolabeled ones and can thus be added in amounts which avoids the use of special media depleted of the corresponding unlabeled precursors.
