All chemicals are molecular biology-grade (SIGMA-Aldrich) unless specified, common solvents were from Merck. High performance silica gel-precoated thin-layer plates (HPTLC Kieselgel 60) were purchased from Merck GmbH. [3-3H]Sphingosine (specific radioactivity 19.8 Ci/mmol) was provided by PerkinElmer Life Sciences.

Sphingolipid analysis was carried out through cell metabolic labelling with [3-3H]sphingosine (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA), as previously reported.20 (link) Ganglioside and neutral sphingolipid extracts were analysed by HPTLC carried out with the solvent systems chloroform/methanol/0.2% CaCl2 55 : 45 : 6 (v/v) and chloroform/methanol/water 110 : 40 : 6 (v/v), respectively.

Radiolabeling of Cell Sphingolipids

The metabolic radiolabeling of cell sphingolipids was performed as previously described by Riboni et al. [18 (link)]. Briefly, [3-3H]-sphingosine (D-erythro > 97%, 50 μCi, 1.85 MBq, PerkinElmer) was dissolved in DMEM-low glucose with 10% FBS to a final concentration of 2.4 nM sphingosine, corresponding to 110.000 dpm/ml radioactivity. The medium was added to the cells and incubated for 2 hours (pulse) at 37°C, then it was replaced with DMEM-low glucose with 10% FBS without [3H]-sphingosine for 48 hours (chase). After the incubation, cells were harvested by cell scraping in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Cell suspensions were frozen and lyophilized.

Sphingolipid Analysis via Metabolic Labeling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sphingolipid analysis was carried out through cell metabolic labeling with [3-3H]sphingosine (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA) [28 (link)]. In order to assay the hypothesis that Neu5Gc-glicans could be incorporated from the culture medium and then employed for the synthesis of GM3, before [3-3H]sphingosine labeling, melanoma L6 cells were pre-incubated in the reduced-serum medium OptiMEM (Life Technology, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 5 days.
Ganglioside and neutral sphingolipid extracts were analyzed by HPTLC carried out with the solvent systems chloroform/methanol/0.2% CaCl2 55:45:6 (v/v) and chloroform/methanol/water 110:40:6 (v/v), respectively. To separate Neu5Gc-GM3 from Neu5Ac-GM3, HPTLC was carried out using the solvent system chloroform/methanol/0.2% CaCl2/5 N NH3 50:42:6:4 (v/v). The sphingolipid pattern was determined and quantified by radiochromatoscanning (Betaimager 2000, Biospace, Paris, France) [28 (link), 29 (link)].
Endogenous sphingolipid analysis performed to standardize metabolic labeling was performed as previously described [30 (link)].
Ganglioside standards were kindly given by Prof. Sonnino, University of Milan.

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.
