Abstract
Ceramides play a crucial role in divergent signaling events, including differentiation, senescence, proliferation, and apoptosis. Ceramides are a minor lipid component in terms of content; thus, highly sensitive detection is required for accurate quantification. The recently developed isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) method enables a precise comparison of both protein and aminophospholipids. However, iTRAQ tagging had not been applied to the determination of sphingolipids. Here we report a method for the simultaneous measurement of multiple ceramide and monohexosylceramide samples using iTRAQ tags. Samples were hydrolyzed with sphingolipid ceramide N-deacylase (SCDase) to expose the free amino group of the sphingolipids, to which the N-hydroxysuccinimide group of iTRAQ reagent was conjugated. The reaction was performed in the presence of a cleavable detergent, 3-[3-(1,1-bisalkyloxyethyl)pyridine-1-yl]propane-1-sulfonate (PPS) to both improve the hydrolysis and ensure the accuracy of the mass spectrometry analysis performed after iTRAQ labeling. This method was successfully applied to the profiling of ceramides and monohexosylceramides in sphingomyelinase-treated Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and apoptotic Jurkat cells.

Abstract
Ceramides play an important role in diverse cellular functions such as differentiation, cell cycle progression, cell-cell adhesion, senescence, and apoptosis. Here we report a method of extracting lipids from mammalian cells and quantifying ceramide, where the assay conditions were optimized for reproducibility, linearity, recovery, and sensitivity. Simultaneous chromatographic separations were carried out by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization using a Pursuit 3 Diphenyl column (50 x 2.0 mm) and supported by a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile plus 0.1% formic acid and 25 mM ammonium acetate. Ceramides were detected in the multiple reaction mode by tandem mass spectrometry in the positive ion mode, and all extracted ion peaks were integrated for quantitative analysis. The limits of detection and quantification achieved were 0.2 and 1.0 pg on column, respectively. Using this method, we successfully quantified and compared differences in C(18) ceramide levels induced by two DNA-damaging agents, mitomycin C and daunorubicin, and two apoptosis-inducing ligands, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). This work, therefore, describes a method that will be helpful for investigating how ceramide is regulated by different chemotherapeutic agents and will help us to better understand the mechanisms of signal transduction involving ceramide.

Abstract
The lipid backbones of sphingolipids and their metabolites are highly bioactive compounds that affect diverse cellular functions. The metabolites that have been most extensively studied with respect to their effects on cell behavior are ceramides, sphingosine (and other sphingoid bases), and sphingosine 1-phosphate. Additionally, there is interest in other naturally occurring species such as lysosphingolipids (sphingosine, phosphorylcholine, and psychosines) and N-methyl (di- and tri-methyl)-sphingosines. In many cases, studies of cell signaling mediated by these compounds have focused on a single category (such as ceramides or sphingosine 1-phosphate) because of the technical difficulty of more comprehensive analyses. One obstacle in such studies is that most of these compounds are metabolically interconvertable, so it is difficult to assign a conclusive relationship. In this article, we describe the analytical methods for extraction, identification, and quantitation of sphingolipids using state-of-the-art tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Precursor ion scans are used to distinguish various species of sphingolipids in crude extracts by their unique molecular decomposition products. Specific headgroup, sphingoid base, and fatty acid chain combinations can be readily determined. Quantitation is achieved by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in conjunction with high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Compared to precursor ion scans alone, MRM experiments yield greater sensitivity and lower limits of detection by monitoring a specific precursor and product ion pair. This sensitivity facilitates detection of dozens of individual molecular species under optimal ion formation and decomposition conditions for each species, eliminating any ambiguity that may arise from differences in the kinetics of dissociation.
