The insufficiency of an essential enzyme in ethanol metabolism, aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (<jats:italic>ALDH2<\/jats:italic>), will aggravate the alcohol-induced brain injury. The effect of <jats:italic>ALDH2<\/jats:italic> after chronic alcohol exposure on global lipid profiling of the brain remains unclear.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, <jats:italic>ALDH2*2<\/jats:italic> knock-in mice were fed the Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet containing ethanol for 8 weeks. Blood alcohol and acetaldehyde levels were examined, and the mice were tested through novel object recognition and the Y-maze test to evaluate cognitive impairment toward the end of the study. The lipidome profiling of cerebral cortex samples was investigated using a lipidomics method based on ultra-high performance liquid tandem chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOFMS).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results and Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared with similarly treated wild-type (WT) mice, <jats:italic>ALDH2*2<\/jats:italic> mice exhibited poor cognitive performance, though the result did not achieve statistical significance. The lipidomics results indicated that 74 differential lipid species were selected in WT mice, of which 57 species were up-regulated, and 17 were down-regulated. Moreover, 99 differential lipids were identified in <jats:italic>ALDH2*2<\/jats:italic> mice, of which 73 were up-regulated, and 26 were down-regulated. For <jats:italic>ALDH2*2<\/jats:italic> mice, the number of changed significantly glycerophospholipids (GPs) subtypes was lower than that of WT mice. Interestingly, compared with WT mice, a lower proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) was found in <jats:italic>ALDH2*2<\/jats:italic> mice. Collectively, the results provide clear evidence for a lipidomic signature of marked changes in the cerebral cortex of <jats:italic>ALDH2*2<\/jats:italic> mice after chronic alcohol exposure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2022 The cerebral cortex of heterozygous <jats:italic>ALDH2*2<\/jats:italic> mice showed more significant changes in lipidome profiles after chronic alcohol exposure than wild-type mice.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\u2022 Most lipids were significantly up-regulated in both groups of mice, whereas the increase in TAG was restricted to WT mice.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\u2022 For <jats:italic>ALDH2*2<\/jats:italic> mice, GPs substances changed significantly, and SHexCer and SM subclasses in sphingolipids also deserved attention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnmol.2022.1053411","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]],"date-time":"2023-01-19T09:22:35Z","timestamp":1674120155000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Lipidomic changes of cerebral cortex in aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 knock-in heterozygote mice after chronic alcohol exposure"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Li","family":"Xiao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Xiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xinyu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shiyong","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"444","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2019.00444","article-title":"Age-related changes in the gut microbiota modify brain lipid composition","volume":"9","author":"Albouery","year":"2019","journal-title":"Front.
