Phosphoinositide (PPI) lipids are a crucial class of low-abundance signaling molecules that regulate many processes within cells. Methods that enable simultaneous detection of all PPI lipid species provide a wholistic snapshot of the PPI profile of cells, which is critical for probing PPI biology. Here we describe a method for the simultaneous measurement of cellular PPI levels by metabolically labeling yeast or mammalian cells with myo-H-inositol, extracting radiolabeled glycerophosphoinositides, and separating lipid species on an anion exchange column via HPLC.
磷酸肌醇(PPI)脂质是一类重要的低丰度信号分子,它们调节细胞内的许多过程。能够同时检测所有 PPI 脂质种类的方法提供了细胞 PPI 谱的整体快照,这对于探测 PPI 生物学至关重要。在这里,我们描述了一种通过用肌-肌醇- 氚标记酵母或哺乳动物细胞、提取放射性标记的甘油磷酸肌醇和在阴离子交换柱上通过 HPLC 分离脂质种类来同时测量细胞内 PPI 水平的方法。
