Abstract:
Surfactant lipid metabolism is closely related to pulmonary diseases. Lipid metabolism disorder can cause lung diseases, vice versa. With this rationale, a useful method was established in this study to determine the lipidome in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of mice. The lipid components in BALF were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction (methanol and methyl tert-butyl ether, and water). Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to hybrid Quadrupole-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry was used to analyze the extracted samples, which showed a broad scanning range of 215-1800 m/z. With MS-DIAL software and built-in LipidBlast database, we identified 38 lipids in positive, and 31 lipids in negative, ion mode, including lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), etc. Then, the changes of lipids in BALF of mice with acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was investigated, which may contribute to further exploration of the pathogenesis of ALI.
