Abstract

Bioactive lipids are involved in cellular signalling events with links to human disease. Many of these are involved in inflammation under normal and pathological conditions. Despite being attractive molecules from a pharmacological point of view, the detection and quantification of lipids has been a major challenge. Here, we have optimised a liquid chromatography–dynamic multiple reaction monitoring–targeted mass spectrometry (LC-dMRM-MS) approach to profile eicosanoids and fatty acids in biological samples. In particular, by applying this analytic workflow to study a cellular model of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), we found that the levels of intra- and extracellular 2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), intracellular Arachidonic Acid (AA), extracellular Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), extracellular 5-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE), extracellular Palmitic acid (PA, C16:0) and extracellular Stearic acid (SA, C18:0), were altered in response to immunomodulation by type I interferon (IFN-I), a currently approved treatment for CML. Our observations indicate changes in eicosanoid and fatty acid metabolism, with potential relevance in the context of cancer inflammation and CML.
