Study TitleLipid Alterations in ASAH1-Deficient Cells: Insights into Ceramide Accumulation and Lysosomal Dysfunction
Study SummaryLysosomes play a central role in cellular homeostasis by degrading proteins internalized through endocytosis and autophagy and recycling their components for organelle biogenesis. Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) represent a diverse group of diseases that disrupt lysosomal degradation, ion transport, and lipid metabolism. Among these, sphingolipidoses involve defects in glycosphingolipid breakdown, with gene products such as GBA1 identified, and others like SMPD1 and ASAH1 proposed, as genetic risk factors for Parkinson’s disease, although the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. In this dataset, we profile lipids from wildtype and ASAH1-/- HeLa cells, as well as from lysosomes isolated from these cells using LysoIP. Consistent with the loss of ASAH1 function, we observe elevated ceramide levels in knockout cells.

Collection:

Collection ID:CO004362
Collection Summary:Cell Line: HeLa (human cervical cancer cells). Growth Conditions: Typically cultured in DMEM (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics (penicillin/streptomycin). Harvesting: Cells are grown to ~70–80% confluency. Washed with PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) to remove media and serum lipids. Collected by scraping or trypsinization, depending on downstream analysis. Storage: Cell pellets are flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C until lipid extraction.
Collection Protocol Filename:HeLa sample collection for lipidomics
Sample Type:HeLa cells
Collection Duration:2hr
Storage Conditions:-80℃

Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR004378
Treatment Summary:There is no special treatment. Maintain isogenic wild-type (WT) and ASAH1-/- (acid ceramidase knockout) and no tag HeLa cell lines. Control (WT) = wildtype HeLa (used as baseline). ASAH1-/- (KO) = HeLa with ASAH1 deleted, showing ceramide accumulation. No tag = wildtype HeLa without the LysoIP tag construct (negative control for immunoprecipitation, not a biological knockout).
Cell Storage:-80 degree

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP004375
Sampleprep Summary:HeLa cells were cultured in 10-cm dishes and harvested at approximately 80% confluence. Cell homogenates were prepared by repeated freeze–thaw cycles, consisting of snap-freezing in liquid nitrogen followed by thawing in an ultrasonic water bath for three minutes. Lipids were extracted using the Folch method【38】. Prior to extraction, an internal SPLASH® lipidomix standard and a deuterated ganglioside standard were added for normalization. The organic phase obtained from each culture was normalized to the total soluble protein content, which was determined by the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Scientific, 23225, Waltham, MA). To improve yield and reproducibility, each sample was subjected to two sequential rounds of extraction.

Chromatography:

Chromatography ID:CH005326
Chromatography Summary:Lipid extracts were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS) following a protocol adapted from【39】. Separation of the organic phase was performed on a C30 reversed-phase column (Acclaim C30, 2.1 × 250 mm, 3 μm; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany) maintained at 55 °C and connected to a Vanquish Horizon UHPLC system (S/N:6516208). The UHPLC was interfaced with an Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer (OE240, Thermo Fisher Scientific, S/N:MM10585C) equipped with a heated electrospray ionization (HESI) probe. Dried lipid samples were reconstituted in 2:1 methanol:chloroform (v/v), and 5 μL was injected for analysis in both positive and negative ionization modes. The mobile phase A consisted of 60:40 acetonitrile:water containing 10 mM ammonium formate and 0.1% formic acid, while mobile phase B consisted of 90:10 isopropanol:acetonitrile with the same additives. Chromatographic separation was achieved with a 90-minute gradient at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. The gradient started at 40% B and increased to 55% over the first 7 minutes, then to 65% by 8 minutes and held until 12 minutes. Between 12 and 30 minutes, the proportion of solvent B increased to 70%, followed by a rapid increase to 88% between 30 and 31 minutes, to 95% by 51 minutes, and finally to 100% by 53 minutes, which was maintained until 73 minutes. The gradient was then reduced to 40% B within 0.1 minutes and held for 16.9 minutes for column re-equilibration. The autosampler temperature was maintained at 4 °C, and the column oven temperature was set to 55 °C throughout the run.
