| Summary: | Radiation biodosimeters are required urgently for fast and accurate evaluation of absorbed dose for irradiated individuals. Lipidomics has appeared as a credible technique for identification and quantification of lipid for researching biomarker of diseases. We performed a lipidomic profile on mice serum at time points of 6, 24, and 72 hours after 0, 2, 5.5, 7, and 8 Gy irradiation to select radiation-responsive lipids and conducted Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome pathway enrichment analysis to recognize the pathways and network changes. Then, Pearson correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the feasibility of radiation-responsive lipids to estimate radiation dose. Seven radiation-responsive lipids including PC (18:2/18:2), PC (18:0/18:2), Lyso PC 18:1, PC (18:0/20:4), SM (D18:0/24:1), PC (16:0/18:1), and Lyso PC 18:2 were identified in which glycerophospholipid metabolism presented as the most significant pathway, and they all presented good linear correlation with the irradiated dose. This study identified 7 radiation-responsive lipids in mice serum and certificate their feasibility of dose estimation as biodosimeters.
