摘 要: | Systems biology is a new and rapidly developing research area in which,by quantitativelydescribing the interaction among all the individual components of a cell,a systems-level understanding of abiological response can be achieved.Therefore,it requires high-throughput measurement technologies forbiological molecules,such as genomic and proteomic approaches for DNA/RNA and protein,respectively.Recently,a new concept,lipidomics,which utilizes the mass spectrometry(MS)method for lipid analysis,has been proposed.Using this lipidomic approach,the effects of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG)on sphingomyelin metabolism,a major class of sphingolipids,were evaluated.Sphingomyelin moleculeswere extracted from cells and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight MS.Itwas found that MNNG induced profound changes in sphingomyelin metabolism,including the appearance ofsome new sphingomyelin species and the disappearance of some others,and the concentrations of severalsphmgomyelin species also changed.This was accompanied by the redistribution of acid sphingomyelinase(ASM),a key player in sphingomyelin metabolism.On the other hand,imipramine,an inhibitor of ASM,caused the accumulation of sphingomyelin.It also prevented some of the effects of MNNG,as well as theredistribution of ASM.Taken together,these data suggested that the lipidomic approach is highly effectivefor the systematic analysis of cellular lipids metabolism.
