Many and various experimental techniques have been developed to fully analyze the intracellular signaling pathways of membrane phosphoinositides and their water-soluble derivatives. This chapter concentrates mainly on the range of lipid-derived, water-soluble signaling molecules that can be produced in cells from these membrane phosphoinositides, for which we and others have proposed biological roles. These include lysophosphatidylinositol, produced via phospholipase A(1/2) activities on phosphatidylinositol; cyclic inositol phosphates, produced via phosphatidylinositol/lysophosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C activities; and glycerophosphoinositols, produced via lysophospholipase A(2/1) activities on their corresponding lysophosphoinositides. While the methodologies described in this chapter are aimed more specifically at the separation, identification, and quantification of monophosphorylated glyceropho sphoinositols and other similarly charged inositol-containing products of the membrane phosphoinositides in cell extracts, they can be equally well applied to the full range of lysophosphoinositides, glycerophosphoinositols, inositol phosphates, and further inositol-containing water-soluble products of the phosphoinositides (e.g., cyclic inositol phosphates, methylphosphoinositol phosphates).

Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) is a technique that uses optical biosensing to analyze interactions between molecules. The analysis of molecular interactions is measured in real-time and does not require fluorescent tags. BLI uses disposable biosensors that come in a variety of formats to bind different ligands including biotin, hexahistidine, GST, and the Fc portion of antibodies.

During skeletal muscle unloading, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and especially PI3K gamma (PI3Kγ), can be activated by changes in membrane potential. Activated IP3 can increase the ability of Ca to enter the nucleus through IP3 receptors. This may contribute to the activation of transcription factors that initiate muscle atrophy processes.

The calcium-dependent phospholipid scramblase TMEM16E mediates ion transport and lipid translocation across the plasma membrane. TMEM16E also contributes to protection of membrane structure by facilitating cellular repair signaling. Our research reveals that TMEM16E activation promotes macropinocytosis, essential for maintaining plasma membrane integrity.

The phosphoinositide family of membrane lipids play diverse and critical roles in eukaryotic molecular biology. Much of this biological activity derives from interactions of phosphoinositide lipids with integral and peripheral membrane proteins, leading to modulation of protein structure, function, and cellular distribution. Since the discovery of phosphoinositides in the 1940s, combined molecular biology, biophysical, and structural approaches have made enormous progress in untangling this vast and diverse cellular network of interactions.

A study of the lipidome and proteome was performed on milk fat globule membranes (MFGM) originating from milk samples from high (HL) and low (LL) lipolysis groups of cows. Combined univariate and multivariate statistical analyses proposed a set of variables highly associated to contrasted samples with regard to milk lipolysis. Milk from HL group were related to 4 phosphatidylinositols, 8 phosphatidylcholines, 1 sphingomyelin and 27 proteins, among them the phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylethanolamine ratio and ORM1 may contribute to the membrane remodeling of the MFGM.
