Sampleprep Summary:In this proposal, we will interrogate the metabolic pathways that support pancreatic cancer proliferation by performing isotope enrichment analysis on the CRISPR/Cas9 knockout pancreatic cancer cell lines. Each cell line expressing PKM1 or PKM2 will be seeded on 6-well plates so that they are ~70% confluent at the time of labeled media addition. Unlabeled media will be aspirated, and cell will be washed with PBS. Media labeled with 13C-glucose, 13C-glutamine, or 13C-serine labeled media will be added, and cells will be incubated for 1 hour or 24 hours. Polar metabolites and fatty acids will be extracted at the end of the incubation period using methanol, water, and chloroform. The methanol/water fraction containing polar metabolites will be separated from the chloroform fraction containing fatty acids, and each fraction will be dried down under nitrogen. Dried down samples will be sent to the Mayo Clinic Metabolomics Resource Core for analysis of TCA cycle intermediates, amino metabolites, free fatty acids, and sphingolipids. TCA cycle intermediates and amino metabolites (polar metabolites) should become labeled faster than fatty acids and sphingolipids; therefore, polar metabolites are proposed to be analyzed at 1 hour and 24 hours after 13C-label addition. Fatty acids are proposed to be analyzed for the 24 hr time point only, due to slow labeling. Statistical analysis will be performed by the Mayo Clinic Metabolomics Resource Core.
