Parkinson's Disease (PD) is characterised by the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the deposition of protein inclusions called Lewy Bodies (LBs). LBs are heterogeneous structures composed of protein and lipid molecules and their main constituent is the presynaptic protein α-synuclein. SH-SY5Y cells are neuroblastoma cells commonly used to model PD because they express dopaminergic markers and α-synuclein and they can be differentiated into neuronal cells using established protocols. Despite increasing evidence pointing towards a role of lipids in PD, limited knowledge is available on the lipidome of undifferentiated and differentiated SH-SY5Y cells. Using a combination of lipidomics, proteomics, morphological and electrophysiological measurements, we identified specific lipids, including sphingolipids, whose levels are affected by the differentiation of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and found that the levels of these lipids correlate with those of neuronal and dopaminergic markers. These results provide a quantitative characterisation of the changes in lipidome associated with the differentiation of SH-SY5Y cells into more neuronal and dopaminergic-like phenotype and serve as a basis for further characterisation of lipid disruptions in association with PD and its risk factors in this dopaminergic-like neuronal cell model.
