Sampleprep Summary: | Lipid and small-molecule metabolite extraction was performed using a methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE)/methanol extraction protocol modified from previous reports (40, 41), as we have described previously (34). Briefly, individual EC or PVC tissues were homogenized in 400 ul of ice-cold methanol using a bead mill homogenizer (TissueLyser II, Qiagen) at 25 beats/sec, 2x for 45 sec each. Following homogenization, samples were incubated in 1200 ul of MTBE for 1 hr at room temperature to separate organic-soluble lipids from aqueous-soluble lipids and other small-molecules. Finally, 360 ul of ultrapure water was added (for a final ratio of 3:1:0.9 MTBE:methanol:water) to resolve the two liquid phases, and each samples were centrifuged at 10,000 x g for 10 min. For this experiment, the upper organic phase was collected from each sample and stored in a separate tube, and the remaining protein pellets were resuspended in 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate, pH 8, with 2.5% SDS. A BCA protein assay was performed on each protein fraction, and the organic phase was normalized to their protein concentration equivalent with 100% methanol. All samples were then stored at -80°C prior to analysis. |
