  • Lipidomic analysis of tissue culture cells, tissues, and purified organelles

    By on

    Lipids are a class of molecules that have roles in energy storage, plasma membrane integrity, and signaling events. To gain more understanding of the functions and roles that lipids play in biology, researchers employ discovery analytical approaches, such as mass spectrometry (MS)-based lipidomics. The main objective of this protocol is to provide directive on how to extract lipids from plasma, cells, tissue, and purified organelles for analysis by liquid chromatography (LC)-MS. This analysis will typically yield quantitative data for more than 200 lipids, depending on the sample type analyzed, across a range of lipid classes: phospholipids, cardiolipins, sphingolipids, di- and triacylglyerols, and cholesterylesters

  • P5B-ATPases in the mammalian polyamine transport system and their role in disease

    By on

    Polyamines (PAs) are physiologically relevant molecules that are ubiquitous in all organisms. The vitality of PAs to the healthy functioning of a cell is due to their polycationic nature causing them to interact with a vast plethora of cellular players and partake in numerous cellular pathways. Naturally, the homeostasis of such essential molecules is tightly regulated in a strictly controlled interplay between intracellular synthesis and degradation, uptake from and secretion to the extracellular compartment, as well as intracellular trafficking. Not surprisingly, dysregulated PA homeostasis and signaling are implicated in multiple disorders, ranging from cancer to neurodegeneration; leading many to propose rectifying the PA balance as a potential therapeutic strategy. Despite being well characterized in bacteria, fungi and plants, the molecular identity and properties of the PA transporters in animals are poorly understood. This review brings together the current knowledge of the cellular function of the mammalian PA transport system (PTS). We will focus on the role of P5B-ATPases ATP13A2-5 which are PA transporters in the endosomal system that have emerged as key players in cellular PA uptake and organelle homeostasis. We will discuss recent breakthroughs on their biochemical and structural properties as well as their implications for disease and therapy.
