Abstract
We prepared 2-hydroxypalmitoyl-sphinganine (dihydroceramide) labeled with a stable isotope by culturing acetic acid bacteria with (13)C-labeled acetic acid. The GC/MS spectrum of the trimethylsilyl derivative of (13)C-labeled dihydroceramide gave molecular ions with an increased mass of 12-17 Da over that of nonlabeled dihydroceramide. The fragment ions derived from both sphinganine base and 2-hydroxypalmitate were confirmed to be labeled with the stable isotope in the spectrum. Therefore, (13)C-labeled dihydroceramide can be an extremely useful tool for analyzing sphingolipid metabolism. The purified [(13)C]dihydroceramide was administered orally to mice for 12 days, and the total sphingoid base fractions in various tissues were analyzed by GC/MS. The spectrum patterns specific to (13)C-labeled sphingoids were detected in the tissues tested. Sphinganine pools in skin epidermis, liver, skeletal muscle, and synapse membrane in brain were replaced by [(13)C]sphinganine at about 4.5, 4.0, 1.0, and 0.3%, respectively. Moreover, about 1.0% of the sphingosine pool in the liver was replaced by [(13)C]sphingosine, implying that exogenous dihydroceramide can be converted to sphingosine. These results clearly indicate that ingested dihyd...Continue Reading
