2008/2009 Cancer Research Breakthrough In remarkable research sponsored by the National Cancer Institute published in 2008 and 2009, researchers found major abnormalities in content or composition in a complex lipid called cardiolipin (CL).
The good news for researchers is that High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography separation and quantification of sphingomylin, PC, PI, PS, PG, PE, cardiolipin, PA, lyso PC, PI, PS, PG and PE can be achieved.
Since the increases in NAO fluorescence of A[beta]-treated Neuro 2A cells suggested an increase of the cardiolipin content as a result of an enlargement of the mitochondrial mass, treatment of Neuro 2A cells with the autophagy-specific inhibitors was expected to reverse the increased NAO fluorescence.
