摘要

Metabolomics has emerged as a pivotal field in understanding cellular function, particularly in the context of disease. In numerous diseases, including cancer, alterations in metabolism play an essential role in disease progression and drug response. Hence, unraveling the metabolic rewiring is of importance to find novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Isotope tracing is a powerful technique for delving deeper into the metabolic wiring of cells. By tracking an isotopically labeled substrate through biochemical reactions in the cell, this technique provides a dynamic understanding of cellular metabolism. This chapter outlines a robust isotope tracing protocol utilizing high-resolution mass spectrometry coupled to liquid chromatography in cell culture-based models. We cover essential aspects of experimental design and analyses, providing a valuable resource for researchers aiming to employ isotopic tracing.
