UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS Characterization of Ceramide Profiles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An Agilent UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS system (Agilent 1290; Agilent 6540; Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was used to characterize the CER profiles. The mobile phase was composed of solvent A (water with 20 mM ammonium formate pH 5) and solvent B (methanol). Initially, 70% of B was held isocratically for 1 min, followed by a linear increase to 100% of B within 75 min, and return to initial conditions in 5 min. The CERs were separated on an RP C18 column (Acquity BEH Shield 2.1 × 100 mm; 1.7 μm; Waters, Milford, MA, USA) with a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The QTOF mass spectrometer was operated in positive ion mode (electrospray voltage 3.5 kV) with a capillary temperature of 300 °C and a sheath gas flow rate of 8 L/min. The data was collected in DDA mode. Identification of CER species was based on the presence of the [M + H]+ molecular ion, retention time and characteristic fragmentation patterns observed in MS/MS spectra, which was previously described in detail19 (link). Cermide internal standards, N-lignoceroyl-d-erythro-sphingosine and N-lignoceroyl-d-erythro-sphinganine (Avanti Polar Lipids, Alabaster, AL, USA) were used for quantification of CERs.

1-palmitoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C16:0 LPC), 1-stearoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C18:0 LPC), N-palmitoyl-D-erythro-sphingosylphosphorylcholine (d18:1/16:0 SM), N-stearoyl-D-erythro-sphingosylphosphorylcholine (d18:1/18:0 SM), N-palmitoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (d18:1/16:0 ceramide), N-lignoceroyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (d18:1/24:0 ceramide) and ceramide/sphingolipid internal standard mixture I (contains C17 base sphingosine, C17 base sphinganine, C17 base sphingosine-1-P, C17 base sphinganine-1-P, lactosyl(ß) C12 ceramide, 12:0 sphingomyelin, glucosyl(ß) C12 ceramide, 12:0 ceramide, 12:0 ceramide-1-P, 25:0 ceramide) were purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster, AL, USA). Standard stock solutions were dissolved in chloroform/methanol 1:1 (v/v) at a concentration of 1 mM and stored at −20 °C. Lipid standard mixtures were prepared freshly every day in lipid buffer (2:1:1; Isopropanol, LC/MS Grade Merck Millipore, MA, USA; Acetonitrile; H2O, LC/MS reagent, 9831-2, J.T.Baker, Phillipsburg, NY, USA) at a concentration of 25 μM and used immediately.

Characterization of Sphingoid Lipids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
High-resolution mass spectra were recorded on an Agilent Technologies G6520A Q-TOF mass spectrometer using electrospray ionization. NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker Avance I and III spectrometers (400 or 500 MHz), and chemical shifts are expressed in parts per million (δ) relative to chloroform (7.26 ppm for 1H and 77.2 ppm for 13C) or DMSO (2.50 ppm for 1H and 39.5 ppm for 13C) as an internal reference. TLC was performed on 0.25-μm silica gel 60 F254 aluminum-backed plates. Silica gel 60 (230–400 mesh) was used for flash column chromatography. The compounds were visualized by UV light and by spraying with 10% phosphomolybdic acid in ethanol. THF and toluene were distilled from sodium and benzophenone. D-erythro-Sphingosine, N-stearoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine, and N-lignoceroyl-D-erythro-sphingosine were purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids. Flash column chromatography for 1015 was performed using a Biotage Isolera One automated system with Flash KP-Sil™ silica cartridges. Microwave-assisted experiments were carried out in a microwave instrument (Smithcreator™) in Pyrex vials using standard procedures.

DiI (1,1′-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-Tetramethylindocarbocyanine Perchlorate ('DiI'; DiIC18(3))) was supplied by Thermo Fisher (Waltham, MA, USA). Methanol and chloroform were from Fisher (Suwanee, GA). Buffer solution, unless otherwise stated, was 20 mM PIPES, 1 mM EDTA, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4. All salts and organic solvents were of analytical grade.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
