Diverse classes of lipids are found in cell membranes, the major ones being glycerolipids, sphingolipids, and sterols. In eukaryotic cells, each organelle has a specific lipid composition, which defines its identity and regulates its biogenesis and function. For example, glycerolipids are present in all membranes, whereas sphingolipids and sterols are mostly enriched in the plasma membrane. In addition to phosphoglycerolipids, plants also contain galactoglycerolipids, a family of glycerolipids present mainly in chloroplasts and playing an important role in photosynthesis. During phosphate starvation, galactoglycerolipids are also found in large amounts in other organelles, illustrating the dynamic nature of membrane lipid composition. Thus, it is important to determine the lipid composition of each organelle, as analyses performed on total cells do not represent the specific changes occurring at the organelle level. This task requires the optimization of standard protocols to isolate organelles with high yield and low contamination by other cellular fractions. In this chapter, we describe a protocol to isolate mitochondria from Arabidopsis thaliana cell cultures to perform lipidomic analysis.
细胞的膜结构中存在着各种脂质,主要包括甘油磷脂、鞘脂和固醇。在真核细胞中,每种细胞器都有特定的脂质组成,这决定了它的身份,并调节其生物发生和功能。例如,甘油磷脂存在于所有的膜中,而鞘脂和固醇主要富集在质膜中。除了磷酸甘油酯外,植物还含有半乳糖甘油酯,这是一类主要存在于叶绿体中的甘油酯,在光合作用中起着重要作用。在磷酸盐饥饿时,半乳糖甘油酯也大量存在于其他细胞器中,这说明了膜脂组成的动态性质。因此,确定每个细胞器的脂质组成非常重要,因为对总细胞进行的分析并不能代表在细胞器水平上发生的特定变化。这项任务需要优化标准方案,以高产量和低污染的方式分离细胞器,避免其他细胞成分的污染。在本章中,我们描述了从拟南芥细胞培养物中分离线粒体的方案,以进行脂质组学分析。
