Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent liver disorder worldwide and can progress to steatohepatitis. Elevated de novo lipogenesis (DNL) is a key contributor to hepatic steatosis. Fatty acid (FA) desaturation produces several unsaturated lipid isomers that are structurally very similar but have diverse biological functions. However, due to their structural similarity, many conventional mass spectrometry approaches cannot detect such metabolic alterations. Thus, we introduce the Skylite (Skyline-based lipid isomer retention time evaluation) workflow using conventional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to identify important isomer features. Retention times of isomeric phosphatidylcholines are compared with the well-characterized human plasma reference standard NIST 1950. Retention time trends correlate well with fixed-charge derivatized FA in liquid chromatography and ozone-induced dissociation mass spectrometry data. The interpretation is supported by double bond diagnostic fragments in LC-MS/MS experiments of epoxidized hydrolyzed fatty acids. We investigate hepatic lipid profiles, focusing on esterified fatty acids in two mouse models of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Out of 37 phosphatidylcholine sum compositions, the workflow identifies 123 lipid features. Importantly, CCl4-induced and melanocortin-4 receptor knockout mice on a western diet (WD) have significantly higher levels of mead acid, branched-chain fatty acid, and n-7 PUFA incorporated into phosphatidylcholines. While the MASH mouse liver tissues contain notable amounts of n-7 PUFA, no n-10 PUFA were detected, potentially indicating a unique desaturation pattern. The screening for altered lipid isomer profiles bridges the gap between high-throughput analyses and specialized structure-resolved techniques.

Comparative lipid profiling reveals the differential response of distinct lipid subclasses in blast and blunt-induced mild traumatic brain injury. Exp Neurol 2025; 385:115141.

Abstract
Head trauma from blast exposure is a growing health concern, particularly among active military personnel, and is considered the signature injury of the Gulf War. However, it remains elusive whether fundamental differences exist between blast-related Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and TBI due to other mechanisms. Considering the importance of lipid metabolism associated with neuronal membrane integrity and its compromise during TBI, we sought to find changes in lipidomic profiling during blast or blunt (Stereotaxically Controlled Contusison-SCC)-mediated TBI. In the current study, we have developed the mild TBI (mTBI) model of blast (130 ± 10 kPa) and SCC (1.5 mm dorsal-ventral) on C57BL/6 mice, followed by the serum collection on days 1 and 7. Lipidomics was performed via ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (qTOF-MS). Additionally, neurobehavioral outcomes were estimated using a revised neurobehavioral severity score for mice (mNSS-R) and an open field test (OFT). The study found that blast-exposed group exhibited more lipid dysregulation, as evidenced by a higher number of significant lipids and associated pathways at both time points. However, the comparative investigation further reveals eight significantly common lipids that can characterize the mTBI regardless of the manner of induction (blast or blunt). Besides, modulated neurobehavioral, locomotor and anxiety functions were also observed post-mTBI. The study illustrates the distinct systemic lipid metabolism intended to preserve the brain's lipid homeostasis post-mTBI. This approach may provide novel insights into lipid metabolism and identification of individual lipid species that aids in understanding the pathophysiology of mTBI.

Abstract
Oxylipins are bioactive lipid mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that play crucial roles in physiological and pathological processes. The analysis and identification of oxylipins are challenging due to the numerous isomeric forms. Ion mobility (IM), which separates ions based on their spatial configuration, combined with liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS), has been proven effective for separating isomeric compounds. In this study, we developed an extensive oxylipin library containing information on retention time (RT), m/z, and CCS values for 74 oxylipin standards using LC-IM-QTOF-MS in positive and negative ionization modes. The oxylipins in the library were grouped into 15 isomer categories to evaluate the efficacy of IM in isomeric separation. Various adducts were investigated, including protonated, deprotonated, and sodiated forms. The ΔCCS% for more than 1000 isomeric pairs was calculated, revealing that 30% of these exhibited a ΔCCS% greater than 2%. Positive ionization mode demonstrated superior separation capabilities, with 274 isomer pairs achieving baseline separation (ΔCCS% > 4%). Sodium adducts significantly improved isomer separation. With the inclusion of LC separation, only nine oxylipins coeluted, forming six different isomeric pairs. CCS values for the adducts [M+Na]+ and [M+2Na-H]+ separated three of these isomeric pairs. The CCS values were compared to experimental libraries, confirming the high reproducibility of CCS measurements, with average errors below 2%. Applying this library to mouse brain samples, 19 different oxylipins were identified by matching RT, m/z, and CCS values. Coeluting isomers, 9- and 13-HODE, 8- and 12-HETE, and 15-oxo-ETE and 14(15)-EpETrE, were successfully separated and identified using drift time separation.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids (GSL) are a highly heterogeneous class of lipids representing the majority of the sphingolipid category. GSL are fundamental constituents of cellular membranes that have key roles in various biological processes, such as cellular signaling, recognition, and adhesion. Understanding the structural complexity of GSL is pivotal for unraveling their functional significance in a biological context, specifically their crucial role in the pathophysiology of various diseases. Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a versatile and indispensable tool for the structural elucidation of GSL enabling a deeper understanding of their complex molecular structures and their key roles in cellular dynamics and patholophysiology. Here, we provide a thorough overview of MS techniques tailored for the analysis of GSL, emphasizing their utility in probing GSL intricate structures to advance our understanding of the functional relevance of GSL in health and disease. The application of tandem MS using diverse fragmentation techniques, including novel ion activation methodologies, in studying glycan sequences, linkage positions, and fatty acid composition is extensively discussed. Finally, we address current challenges, such as the detection of low-abundance species and the interpretation of complex spectra, and offer insights into potential solutions and future directions by improving MS instrumentation for enhanced sensitivity and resolution, developing novel ionization techniques, or integrating MS with other analytical approaches for comprehensive GSL characterization.

Abstract
Lipidomics is focusing on the screening of lipid species in complex mixtures using mass spectrometry-based approaches. In this work, we aim to enhance the intestinal lipidome coverage within the Oligo-Mouse-Microbiota (OMM12) colonized mouse model by testing eight mobile phase conditions on five reversed-phase columns. Our selected mobile phase modifiers included two ammonium salts, two concentrations, and the addition of respective acids at 0.1 %. We compared two columns with hybrid surface technology, two with ethylene bridged hybrid technology and one with core-shell particles. Best performance was attained for standards and intestinal lipidome, using either ammonium formate or acetate in ESI(+) or ammonium acetate in ESI(-) for all column technologies. Notably, a concentration of 5 mM ammonium salt showed optimal results for both modes, while the addition of acids had a negligible effect on lipid ionization efficiency. The HST BEH C18 column improved peak width and tailing factor parameters compared to other technologies. We achieved the highest lipid count in colon and ileum content, including ceramides, phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylcholines, when using 5 mM ammonium acetate in ESI(-). Conversely, in ESI(+) 5 mM ammonium formate demonstrated superior coverage for diacylglycerols and triacylglycerols.

Abstract
Lipids are a diverse class of molecules involved in many biological functions including cell signaling or cell membrane assembly. Owing to this relevance, LC-MS/MS-based lipidomics emerged as a major field in modern analytical chemistry. Here, we thoroughly characterized the influence of MS and LC settings - of a Q Exactive HF operated in Full MS/data-dependent MS2 TOP N acquisition mode - in order to optimize the semi-quantification of polar lipids. Optimization of MS-source settings improved the signal intensity by factor 3 compared to default settings. Polar lipids were separated on an ACQUITY Premier CSH C18 reversed-phase column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm, 130 Å) during an elution window of 28 min, leading to a sufficient number of both data points across the chromatographic peaks, as well as MS2 spectra. Analysis was carried out in positive and negative ionization mode enabling the detection of a broader spectrum of lipids and to support the structural characterization of lipids. Optimal sample preparation of biological samples was achieved by liquid-liquid extraction using MeOH/MTBE resulting in an excellent extraction recovery > 85% with an intra-day and inter-day variability < 15%. The optimized method was applied on the investigation of changes in the phospholipid pattern in plasma from human subjects supplemented with n3-PUFA (20:5 and 22:6). The strongest increase was observed for lipids bearing 20:5, while 22:4 bearing lipids were lowered. Specifically, LPC 20:5_0:0 and PC 16:0_20:5 were found to be strongest elevated, while PE 18:0_22:4 and PC 18:2_18:2 were decreased by n3-PUFA supplementation. These results were confirmed by targeted LC-MS/MS using commercially available phospholipids as standards.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation is a key component in the pathogenesis of numerous disease states, where the oxidative damage of lipids frequently leads to membrane dysfunction and subsequent cellular death. Glycerophosphoethanolamine (PE) is the second most abundant phospholipid found in cellular membranes and, when oxidized, has been identified as an executor of ferroptotic cell death. PE commonly exists in the plasmalogen form, where the presence of the vinyl ether bond and its enrichment in polyunsaturated fatty acids make it especially susceptible to oxidative degradation. This results in a multitude of oxidized products complicating identification and often requiring several analytical techniques for interpretation. In the present study, we outline an analytical approach for the structural characterization of intact oxidized products of arachidonate-containing diacyl and plasmalogen PE. Intact oxidized PE structures, including structural and positional isomers, were identified using complementary liquid chromatography techniques, drift tube ion mobility, and high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry. This work establishes a comprehensive method for the analysis of intact lipid peroxidation products and provides an important pathway to investigate how lipid peroxidation initially impacts glycerophospholipids and their role in redox biology.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositols and phosphatidylinositol phosphates are a set of closely related lipids known to influence various cellular functions. Irregular distributions of these molecules have been correlated with the development and progression of multiple diseases, including Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder, and various cancers. As a result, there is continued interest regarding the speciation of these compounds, with specific consideration on how their distribution may differ between healthy and diseased tissue. The comprehensive analysis of these compounds is challenging due to their varied and unique chemical characteristics, and current generalized lipidomics methods have proven unsuitable for phosphatidylinositol analysis and remain incapable of phosphatidylinositol phosphate analysis. Here we improved upon current methods by enabling the sensitive and simultaneous analysis of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol phosphate species, whilst enhancing their characterization through chromatographic resolution between isomeric species. A 1 mM ammonium bicarbonate and ammonia buffer was determined optimal for this goal, enabling the identification of 148 phosphatidylinositide species, including 23 lyso-phosphatidylinositols, 51 phosphatidylinositols, 59 oxidized-phosphatidylinositols, and 15 phosphatidylinositol phosphates. As a result of this analysis, four distinct canola cultivars were differentiated based exclusively on their unique phosphatidylinositide-lipidome, indicating analyses of this type may be of use when considering the development and progression of the disease through lipidomic profiles.

Integrating the potential of ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry in the separation and structural characterisation of lipid isomers. Front Mol Biosci 2023; 10:1112521. [PMID: 37006618 PMCID: PMC10060977 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2023.1112521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
It is increasingly evident that a more detailed molecular structure analysis of isomeric lipids is critical to better understand their roles in biological processes. The occurrence of isomeric interference complicates conventional tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)-based determination, necessitating the development of more specialised methodologies to separate lipid isomers. The present review examines and discusses recent lipidomic studies based on ion mobility spectrometry combined with mass spectrometry (IMS-MS). Selected examples of the separation and elucidation of structural and stereoisomers of lipids are described based on their ion mobility behaviour. These include fatty acyls, glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and sterol lipids. Recent approaches for specific applications to improve isomeric lipid structural information using direct infusion, coupling imaging, or liquid chromatographic separation workflows prior to IMS-MS are also discussed, including: 1) strategies to improve ion mobility shifts; 2) advanced tandem MS methods based on activation of lipid ions with electrons or photons, or gas-phase ion-molecule reactions; and 3) the use of chemical derivatisation techniques for lipid characterisation.

Abstract
Three new very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC PUFA) belonging to the omega-3 family have been identified in meibum samples collected by Schirmer strips. These VLC PUFA, namely FA (32:3), FA (34:3) and FA (36:3), were detected in O-acyl-ω-hydroxy fatty acids using a molecular network approach, and as free fatty acids. Identification was supported by retention time prediction model, exact mass determination and isotopic patterns. Double bond location was determined using cross metathesis reaction associated to tandem mass spectrometry. In meibum, synthesis of these VLC PUFA is likely to be mediated by elongation of very long chain fatty acids 4 enzyme. The biological role of these newly VLC PUFA and their occurrence in other tissues and biological fluids remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens pose an increasing threat to human health. Certain bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, are able to survive within professional phagocytes to escape the bactericidal effects of antibiotics and evade killing by immune cells, potentially leading to chronic or persistent infections. By investigating the macrophage response to S. aureus infection, we may devise a strategy to prime the innate immune system to eliminate the infected bacteria. Here we applied untargeted tandem mass spectrometry to characterize the lipidome alteration in S. aureus infected J774A.1 macrophage cells at multiple time points. Linoleic acid (LA) metabolism and sphingolipid metabolism pathways were found to be two major perturbed pathways upon S. aureus infection. The subsequent validation has shown that sphingolipid metabolism suppression impaired macrophage phagocytosis and enhanced intracellular bacteria survival. Meanwhile LA metabolism activation significantly reduced intracellular S. aureus survival without affecting the phagocytic capacity of the macrophage. Furthermore, exogenous LA treatment also exhibited significant bacterial load reduction in multiple organs in a mouse bacteremia model. Two mechanisms are proposed to be involved in this progress: exogenous LA supplement increases downstream metabolites that partially contribute to LA's capacity of intracellular bacteria-killing and LA induces intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through an electron transport chain pathway in multiple immune cell lines, which further increases the capacity of killing intracellular bacteria. Collectively, our findings not only have characterized specific lipid pathways associated with the function of macrophages but also demonstrated that exogenous LA addition may activate lipid modulator-mediated innate immunity as a potential therapy for bacterial infections.

Abstract
Solvent-based ambient ionization mass spectrometry (MS) techniques provide a powerful approach for direct chemical analysis and molecular profiling of biological tissues. While molecular profiling of tissues has been widely used for disease diagnosis, little is understood about how the interplay among solvent properties, matrix effects, and ion suppression can influence the detection of biological molecules. Here, we perform a systematic investigation of the extraction processes of lipids using an ambient ionization droplet microsampling platform to investigate how the physicochemical properties of the solvent systems and extraction time influence molecular extraction and detection. Direct molecular profiling and quantitative liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) of discrete solvent droplets after surface sampling were investigated to provide insights into extraction and ionization mechanisms. The results of this study suggest that intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding play a major role in extraction and detection of lipids using solvent-based ambient ionization techniques. In addition, extraction time was observed to impact the molecular profiles obtained, suggesting optimization of this parameter can be performed to favor detection of specific analytes.

Abstract
The development and inclusion of novel oils derived from genetically modified (GM) oilseeds into aquafeeds, to supplement and supplant current terrestrial oilseeds, as well as fish oils, warrants a more thorough investigation into lipid biochemical alterations within finfish species, such as Atlantic salmon. Five tissues were examined across two harvesting timepoints to establish whether lipid isomeric alterations could be detected between a standard commercial diet versus a diet that incorporated the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), derived from the GM oilseed Camelina sativa. Tissue-dependent trends were detected, indicating that certain organs, such as the brain, have a basal limit to LC-PUFA incorporation, though enrichment of these fatty acids is possible. Lipid acyl alterations, as well as putative stereospecific numbering (sn) isomer alterations, were also detected, providing evidence that GM oils may modify lipid structure, with lipids of interest providing a set of targeted markers by which lipid alterations can be monitored across various novel diets.

Abstract
Researchers worldwide are taking advantage of novel, commercially available, technologies, such as ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS), for metabolomics and lipidomics applications in a variety of fields including life, biomedical, and food sciences. IM-MS provides three main technical advantages over traditional LC-MS workflows. Firstly, in addition to mass, IM-MS allows collision cross-section values to be measured for metabolites and lipids, a physicochemical identifier related to the chemical shape of an analyte that increases the confidence of identification. Second, IM-MS increases peak capacity and the signal-to-noise, improving fingerprinting as well as quantification, and better defining the spatial localization of metabolites and lipids in biological and food samples. Third, IM-MS can be coupled with various fragmentation modes, adding new tools to improve structural characterization and molecular annotation. Here, we review the state-of-the-art in IM-MS technologies and approaches utilized to support metabolomics and lipidomics applications and we assess the challenges and opportunities in this growing field.

Abstract
Viruses exploit the host lipid metabolism machinery to achieve efficient replication. We herein characterize the lipids profile reprogramming in vitro and in vivo using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based untargeted lipidomics. The lipidome of SARS-CoV-2-infected Caco-2 cells was markedly different from that of mock-infected samples, with most of the changes involving downregulation of ceramides. In COVID-19 patients' plasma samples, a total of 54 lipids belonging to 12 lipid classes that were significantly perturbed compared to non-infected control subjects' plasma samples were identified. Among these 12 lipid classes, ether-linked phosphatidylcholines, ether-linked phosphatidylethanolamines, phosphatidylcholines, and ceramides were the four most perturbed. Pathway analysis revealed that the glycerophospholipid, sphingolipid, and ether lipid metabolisms pathway were the most significantly perturbed host pathways. Phosphatidic acid phosphatases (PAP) were involved in all three pathways and PAP-1 deficiency significantly suppressed SARS-CoV-2 replication. siRNA knockdown of LPIN2 and LPIN3 resulted in significant reduction of SARS-CoV-2 load. In summary, these findings characterized the host lipidomic changes upon SARS-CoV-2 infection and identified PAP-1 as a potential target for intervention for COVID-19.

Application of hybrid surface technology for improving sensitivity and peak shape of phosphorylated lipids such as phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylserine. J Chromatogr A 2022; 1669:462921. [PMID: 35272103 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2022.462921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2021] [Revised: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The use of hybrid surface technology (HST), applied to the metal surfaces of an ACQUITY™ UPLC™ system and column, designed to mitigate the chelation, poor peak shape and analyte loss seen with acidic phospholipids was investigated. Compared to a conventional system significant improvements in both sensitivity, recovery and peak shape were obtained following UPLC on a CSH C18 column when the HST was used for the analysis of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), phosphatidic acid (PA), lysophosphatidylserine (LPS), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol-monophosphates (PIP), ceramide phosphate (CerP) and sphingoid base phosphate (SPBP). The benefits in chromatographic performance provided by the HST were seen particularly at low concentrations of these analytes. The HST system and column reduced peak tailing by 65-80% and peak width by 70-86% for LPA and PA. Moreover, increased signal intensities of up to 12.7 times were observed for LPA with the HST approach compared to the equivalent untreated LC system and column. The application of this methodology to the analysis of chicken egg PA and brain porcine PS extracts were accompanied by similar improvements in data quality.

Abstract
Chromatography is often used as a method for reducing sample complexity prior to analysis by mass spectrometry, and the use of retention time (RT) is becoming increasingly popular to add valuable supporting information in lipid identification. The RT of lipids with the same headgroup in reversed-phase separation can be predicted using the equivalent carbon number (ECN) model. This model describes the effects of acyl chain length and degree of saturation on lipid RT. For the first time, we have found a robust correlation in the chromatographic separation of lipids with different headgroups that share the same fatty acid motive. This relationship can be exploited to perform interclass RT conversion (IC-RTC) by building a model from RT measurements from lipid standards that allows the prediction of RT of one lipid subclass based on another. Here, we utilize ECN modeling and IC-RTC to build a glycerophospholipid RT library with 517 entries based on 136 tandem mass spectrometry-characterized lipid RTs from NIST SRM-1950 plasma and lipid standards. The library was tested on a patient cohort undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (n = 37). A total of 156 unique circulating glycerophospholipids were identified, of which 52 (1 LPG, 24 PE, 5 PG, 18 PI, and 9 PS) were detected with IC-RTC, thereby demonstrating the utility of this technique for the identification of lipid species not found in commercial standards.

J Pharm Biomed Anal 2022; 208:114473. [PMID: 34814079 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2021.114473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 11/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Lipid composition and lipid degradation are critical to the stability of liposomal formulations which can impact the safety and efficacy of the drug. Herein we developed and validated an ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS) method for determining phospholipid composition and phospholipid degradation products in a verteporfin liposomal formulation (Visudyne). The high mass accuracy (<5 ppm) of the QTOF method coupled with database searching (SimLipid) and comparison with known standards accurately identified and quantified the phospholipid compositions and lipid degradation products. The analysis of Visudyne indicated that more than 50% (w/w) of the total phospholipids are composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC) 14:0-14:0 and major phosphatidylglycerol (PG) species found are PG 16:0-18:2, PG 16:0-18:1, PG 18:0-18:2, and PG 18:0-18:1. The LC-MS method developed is capable of separating structural isomers such as PG 18:1-18:1 versus PG 18:0-18:2 and the separation of PG stereoisomers, such as PG 18:1-18:1 cis and PG 18:1-18:1 trans. The major lipid degradation products in Visudyne includes lysophosphatidylcholine and a few saturated and unsaturated lysophosphatidylglycerols, and free fatty acids (FFA). Each degradation product is less than 1% of the total phospholipids (w/w). In addition, the lipid profiles of naturally sourced egg PG from six different vendors were compared with the PG composition in Visudyne. Differences in lipid composition in egg PGs from different vendors were observed and the PG composition in Visudyne is matched with the lipid profile of the some of the egg PGs from different vendors. Drug developers can utilize this method to assess raw materials and lipid-based drug product quality and regulatory scientists can monitor the quality of the drug available in the market using this validated method.

Abstract
Current methods typically used for metabolite screening and disease diagnosis often require extensive sample preparation, which increases analysis time and associated costs. While ambient ionization techniques enable the analysis of various samples in complex matrices with little or no sample preparation in a short time (typically within a minute), their reduced selectivity, even when coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometers, limits their application in certain fields. In this study, we have optimized the coupling of paper spray (PS) and leaf spray (LS) ambient ionization techniques with a commercially available ion mobility mass spectrometer (IM-MS) and demonstrated the separation of geometric and constitutional isomers. Ambient ionization techniques allow simultaneous introduction and ionization of samples, while background noise and matrix interference from paper and leaf substrates are filtered out by IM separation, resulting in high sensitivity and selectivity of the PS-IM-MS and LS-IM-MS workflows. In addition, we introduced a novel approach to perform single-field collision cross section (CCS) measurements, which resulted in CCS values that differ by 0.15% and 0.25% from traditional stepped-field and single-field methods, respectively. In addition, we used advanced computational tools to confidently identify analyte structures by comparing CCS values from experimental IM measurements and theoretical calculations. These results suggest that the coupling of ambient ionization methods with ion mobility techniques enables rapid, sensitive, and highly selective analysis that can be used in different fields, such as agrochemical screening and disease diagnostics.

Abstract
Reversed-phase UHPLC-MS is extensively employed for both the profiling of biological fluids and tissues to characterize lipid dysregulation in disease and toxicological studies. With conventional LC-MS systems the chromatographic performance and throughput are limited due to dispersion from the fluidic connections as well as radial and longitudinal thermal gradients in the LC column. In this study vacuum jacketed columns (VJC), positioned at the source of the mass spectrometer, were applied to the lipidomic analysis of plasma extracts. Compared to conventional UHPLC, the VJC-based methods offered greater resolution, faster analysis, and improved peak intensity. For a 5 min VJC analysis, the peak capacity increased by 66%, peak tailing reduced by up to 34%, and the number of lipids detected increased by 30% compared to conventional UHPLC. The narrower peaks, and thus increased resolution, compared to the conventional system resulted in a 2-fold increase in peak intensity as well a significant improvement in MS and MS/MS spectral quality resulting in a 22% increase in the number of lipids identified. When applied to mouse plasma samples, reproducibility of the lipid intensities in the pooled QC ranged from 1.8-12%, with no related drift in tR observed.

Abstract
Archaea are differentiated from the other two domains of life by their biomolecular characteristics. One such characteristic is the unique structure and composition of their lipids. Characterization of the whole set of lipids in a biological system (the lipidome) remains technologically challenging. This is because the lipidome is innately complex, and not all lipid species are extractable, separable, or ionizable by a single analytical method. Furthermore, lipids are structurally and chemically diverse. Many lipids are isobaric or isomeric and often indistinguishable by the measurement of mass or even their fragmentation spectra. Here we developed a novel analytical protocol based on liquid chromatography ion mobility mass spectrometry to enhance the coverage of the lipidome and characterize the conformations of archaeal lipids by their collision cross-sections (CCSs). The measurements of ion mobility revealed the gas-phase ion chemistry of representative archaeal lipids and provided further insights into their attributions to the adaptability of archaea to environmental stresses. A comprehensive characterization of the lipidome of mesophilic marine thaumarchaeon, Nitrosopumilus maritimus (strain SCM1) revealed potentially an unreported phosphate- and sulfate-containing lipid candidate by negative ionization analysis. It was the first time that experimentally derived CCS values of archaeal lipids were reported. Discrimination of crenarchaeol and its proposed stereoisomer was, however, not achieved with the resolving power of the SYNAPT G2 ion mobility system, and a high-resolution ion mobility system may be required for future work. Structural and spectral libraries of archaeal lipids were constructed in non-vendor-specific formats and are being made available to the community to promote research of Archaea by lipidomics.

Abstract
A rapid reversed-phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry based mycobacterial lipidomics approach is described. This method enables the separation of various lipid classes including lipids specific to mycobacterial, such as methoxy mycolic acid and α-mycolic acid. Lipid separation occurs during a relatively short runtime of 14 min on a charged surface hybrid C18 column. A high-resolution quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometer and a data independent acquisition mode allowed for the simultaneous acquisition of the full scan and collision induced dissociation fragmentation. The proposed method provides lipid detection results equivalent to or better than existing methods, but with a faster throughput and an overall higher sensitivity. The reversed-phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry method was shown to obtain structural information for lipids extracted from Mycobacterium smegmatis, but the method is applicable to the analysis of lipids from various bacterial and mammalian cell lines.

Abstract
Lipids play an important role in the energy storage, cellular signaling, and pathophysiology of diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, infections, and diabetes. Due to high importance of diverse lipid classes in human health and disease, manipulating lipid abundance and composition is an important target for metabolic engineering. The extreme structural diversity of lipids in real biological samples is challenging for analytical techniques due to large difference in physicochemical properties of individual lipid species. This chapter describes lipidomic analysis of large sample sets requiring reliable and robust methodology. Rapid and robust methods facilitate the support of longitudinal studies allowing the transfer of methodology between laboratories. We describe a high-throughput reversed-phase LC-MS methodology using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC®) with charged surface hybrid technology and accurate mass detection for high-throughput non-targeted lipidomics. The methodology showed excellent specificity, robustness, and reproducibility for over 100 LC-MS injections.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Radiation sequelae is complex and characterized by multiple pathologies, which occur over time and nonuniformly throughout different organs. The study of the mesenteric lymph node (MLN) due to its importance in the gastrointestinal system is of particular interest. Other studies have shown an immediate post-irradiation reduction in cellularity due to the known effects of irradiation on lymphoid cell populations, but the molecular and functional mechanisms that lead to these cellular alterations remain limited. In this work, we show the use of lipidomic, proteomic, and mass spectrometry imaging in the characterization of the effects of acute radiation exposure on the MLN at different time points after ionizing radiation (IR) from 4 d to 21 d after 12 Gy partial body irradiation with 2.5% bone marrow sparing. The combined analyses showed a dysregulation of the lipid and protein composition in the MLN after IR. Protein expression was affected in numerous pathways, including pathways regulating lipids such as LXR/RXR activation and acute phase response. Lipid distribution and abundance was also affected by IR in the MLN, including an accumulation of triacylglycerides, a decrease in polyunsaturated glycerophospholipids, and changes in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Those changes were observed as early as 4 d after IR and were more pronounced for lipids with a higher concentration in the nodules and the medulla of the MLN. These results provide molecular insight into the MLN that can inform on injury mechanism in a non-human primate model of the acute radiation syndrome of the gastrointestinal tract. Those findings may contribute to the identification of therapeutic targets and the development of new medical countermeasures.

Abstract
Up to 80% of the fatty acids in Staphylococcus aureus membrane lipids are branched, rather than straight-chain, fatty acids. The branched fatty acids (BCFAs) may have either an even or odd number of carbons, and the branch position may be at the penultimate carbon (iso) or the antepenultimate (anteiso) carbon of the tail. This results in two sets of isomeric fatty acid species with the same number of carbons that cannot be resolved by mass spectrometry. The isomer/isobar challenge is further complicated when the mixture of BCFAs and straight-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are esterified into diacylated lipids such as the phosphatidylglycerol (PG) species of the S. aureus membrane. No conventional chromatographic method has been able to resolve diacylated lipids containing mixtures of SCFAs, anteiso-odd, iso-odd, and iso-even BCFAs. A major hurdle to method development in this area is the lack of relevant analytical standards for lipids containing BCFA isomers. The diversity of the S. aureus lipidome and its naturally high levels of BCFAs present an opportunity to explore the potential of resolving diacylated lipids containing BCFAs and SFCAs. Using our knowledge of lipid and fatty acid biosynthesis in S. aureus, we have used a stable-isotope-labeling strategy to develop and validate a 30 min C18 reversed-phase liquid chromatography method combined with traveling-wave ion mobility-mass spectrometry to provide resolution of diacylated lipids based on the number of BCFAs that they contain.

Abstract
Simple, robust and versatile LC-MS based methods add to the rapid assessment of the lipidome of biological cells. Here we present a versatile RP-UHPLC-MS method using 1-butanol as the eluent, specifically designed to separate different highly hydrophobic lipids. This method is capable of separating different lipid classes of glycerophospholipid standards, in addition to phospholipids of the same class with a different acyl chain composition. The versatility of this method was demonstrated through analysis of lipid extracts of the bacterium Escherichia coli and the archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. In contrast to 2-propanol-based methods, the 1-butanol-based mobile phase is capable of eluting highly hydrophobic analytes such as cardiolipins, tetraether lipids and mycolic acids during the gradient instead of the isocratic purge phase, resulting in an enhanced separation of cardiolipins and extending the analytical range for RPLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The skeletal muscle plays a central role in glucose homeostasis through the uptake of glucose from the extracellular medium in response to insulin. A number of factors are known to disrupt the normal response to insulin leading to the emergence of insulin resistance (IR). Advanced age and a high-fat diet are factors that increase the susceptibility to IR, with lipid accumulation in the skeletal muscle being a key driver of this phenomenon. It is debated, however, whether lipid accumulation arises due to dietary lipid overload or from a decline of mitochondrial function. To gain insights into the interplay of diet and age in the flexibility of muscle lipid and glucose handling, we combined lipidomics, proteomics, mitochondrial function analysis and computational modelling to investigate young and aged mice on a low- or high-fat diet (HFD). RESULTS As expected, aged mice were more susceptible to IR when given a HFD than young mice. The HFD induced intramuscular lipid accumulation specifically in aged mice, including C18:0-containing ceramides and diacylglycerols. This was reflected by the mitochondrial β-oxidation capacity, which was upregulated by the HFD in young, but not in old mice. Conspicuously, most β-oxidation proteins were upregulated by the HFD in both groups, but carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B (CPT1B) declined in aged animals. Computational modelling traced the flux control mostly to CPT1B, suggesting a CPT1B-driven loss of flexibility to the HFD with age. Finally, in old animals, glycolytic protein levels were reduced and less flexible to the diet. CONCLUSION We conclude that intramuscular lipid accumulation and decreased insulin sensitivity are not due to age-related mitochondrial dysfunction or nutritional overload alone, but rather to their combined effects. Moreover, we identify CPT1B as a potential target to counteract age-dependent intramuscular lipid accumulation and thereby IR.

Retention dependences support highly confident identification of lipid species in human plasma by reversed-phase UHPLC/MS. Anal Bioanal Chem 2021; 414:319-331. [PMID: 34244835 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-021-03492-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Reversed-phase ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (RP-UHPLC/MS) method was developed with the aim to unambiguously identify a large number of lipid species from multiple lipid classes in human plasma. The optimized RP-UHPLC/MS method employed the C18 column with sub-2-μm particles with the total run time of 25 min. The chromatographic resolution was investigated with 42 standards from 18 lipid classes. The UHPLC system was coupled to high-resolution quadrupole-time-of-flight (QTOF) mass analyzer using electrospray ionization (ESI) measuring full-scan and tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) in positive- and negative-ion modes with high mass accuracy. Our identification approach was based on m/z values measured with mass accuracy within 5 ppm tolerance in the full-scan mode, characteristic fragment ions in MS/MS, and regularity in chromatographic retention dependences for individual lipid species, which provides the highest level of confidence for reported identifications of lipid species including regioisomeric and other isobaric forms. The graphs of dependences of retention times on the carbon number or on the number of double bond(s) in fatty acyl chains were constructed to support the identification of lipid species in homologous lipid series. Our list of identified lipid species is also compared with previous publications investigating human blood samples by various MS-based approaches. In total, we have reported more than 500 lipid species representing 26 polar and nonpolar lipid classes detected in NIST Standard reference material 1950 human plasma.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based lipidomics generates large datasets that need to be interpreted using high-performance data pre-processing tools such as XCMS, mzMine, and Progenesis. These pre-processing tools rely heavily on accurate peak detection, which depends on proper setting of the peak detection mass tolerance (PDMT). The PDMT is usually set with a fixed value in either ppm or Da units. However, this fixed value may result in duplicates or missed peak detection and inaccurate peak quantification. To improve the accuracy of peak detection, we developed the dynamic binning method, which considers peak broadening described by the physics of ion separation and sets the PDMT dynamically in function of m/z. In our method, the PDMT is proportional to (mz)2 for Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR), to (mz)1.5 for Orbitrap and to m/z for Quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF), and is a constant for Quadrupole mass analyzer. The dynamic binning method was implemented in XCMS [1,2], and the adopted source code is available in GitHub at https://github.com/xiaodfeng/DynamicXCMS. We have compared the performance of the XCMS implemented dynamic binning with different popular lipidomics pre-processing tools to find differential compounds. We generated set samples with 43 lipid internal standards that were differentially spiked to aliquots of one human plasma lipid sample using Orbitrap LC-MS/MS. The performance of various pipelines using matched parameter sets was quantified by a quality score system that reflects the ability of a pre-processing pipeline to detect differential peaks spiked at various concentrations. The quality score indicated that our dynamic binning method improves the quantification performance of XCMS (maximum p-value 9.8·10-3 of two-sample Wilcoxon test) over its original implementation. We also showed that the XCMS with dynamic binning found differential spiked-in lipids better or with similar performance as mzMine and Progenesis do.

Abstract
Lipids play a critical role in cell membrane integrity, signaling, and energy storage. However, in-depth structural characterization of lipids is still challenging and not routinely possible in lipidomics experiments. Techniques such as collision-induced dissociation (CID) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), ion mobility (IM) spectrometry, and ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography are not yet capable of fully characterizing double-bond and sn-chain position of lipids in a high-throughput manner. Herein, we report on the ability to structurally characterize lipids using large-area triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) coupled with time-aligned parallel (TAP) fragmentation IM-MS analysis. Gas-phase lipid epoxidation during TENG ionization, coupled to mobility-resolved MS3 via TAP IM-MS, enabled the acquisition of detailed information on the presence and position of lipid C═C double bonds, the fatty acyl sn-chain position and composition, and the cis/trans geometrical C═C isomerism. The proposed methodology proved useful for the shotgun lipidomics analysis of lipid extracts from biological samples, enabling the detailed annotation of numerous lipid isobars.

Abstract
Cancer cells exhibit different metabolic patterns compared to their normal counterparts. Although the reprogrammed metabolism has been indicated as strong biomarkers of cancer initiation and progression, increasing evidences suggest that metabolic alteration tuned by oncogenic drivers contributes to the occurrence and development of cancers rather than just being a hallmark of cancer. With this notion, targeting cancer metabolism holds promise as a novel anticancer strategy and is embracing its renaissance during the past two decades. Herein we have summarized the most recent developments in omics technology, including both metabolomics and proteomics, and how the combined use of these analytical tools significantly impacts this field by comprehensively and systematically recording the metabolic changes in cancer and hence reveals potential therapeutic targets that function by modulating the disrupted metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has a substantial impact on human health and is a major monetary burden on the drug development process. Presently, there is a lack of robust and analytically validated markers for predicting and early diagnosis of DILI. Sphingolipid metabolism and subsequent disruption of sphingolipid homeostasis has been documented to play a key role contributing to hepatocellular death and subsequent liver injury. A more comprehensive understanding of sphingolipid metabolism in response to liver toxicity has great potential to gain mechanistic insight into hepatotoxicity and define molecular markers that are responsible for hepatocyte dysfunction. Here, we present an analytical platform that provides multidimensional mass spectrometry-based datasets for comprehensive structure characterization of sphingolipids extracted from human primary hepatocytes (HPH) exposed to toxic levels of acetaminophen (APAP). Sphingolipid metabolism as measured by characterization of individual sphingolipid structure was sensitive to APAP toxicity displaying a concentration-dependent response. A number of sphingolipid structures were differentially expressed across varying APAP exposures highlighting the unique role sphingolipid metabolism has in response to hepatotoxicity and its potential use as a molecular marker in DILI.

Abstract
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) catalyses the first step of de novo lipogenesis (DNL). Pharmacologic inhibition of ACC has been of interest for therapeutic intervention in a wide range of diseases. We demonstrate here that ACC and DNL are essential for platelet production in humans and monkeys, but in not rodents or dogs. During clinical evaluation of a systemically distributed ACC inhibitor, unexpected dose-dependent reductions in platelet count were observed. While platelet count reductions were not observed in rat and dog toxicology studies, subsequent studies in cynomolgus monkeys recapitulated these platelet count reductions with a similar concentration response to that in humans. These studies, along with ex vivo human megakaryocyte maturation studies, demonstrate that platelet lowering is a consequence of DNL inhibition likely to result in impaired megakaryocyte demarcation membrane formation. These observations demonstrate that while DNL is a minor quantitative contributor to global lipid balance in humans, DNL is essential to specific lipid pools of physiological importance.

Abstract
Lipids are a structurally diverse class of molecules with important biological functions including cellular signaling and energy storage. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) allows for direct mapping of biomolecules in tissues. Fully characterizing the structural diversity of lipids remains a challenge due to the presence of isobaric and isomeric species, which greatly complicates data interpretation when only m/z information is available. Integrating ion mobility separations aids in deconvoluting these complex mixtures and addressing the challenges of lipid IMS. Here, we demonstrate that a MALDI quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer with trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) enables a >250% increase in the peak capacity during IMS experiments. MALDI TIMS-MS separation of lipid isomer standards, including sn backbone isomers, acyl chain isomers, and double-bond position and stereoisomers, is demonstrated. As a proof of concept, in situ separation and imaging of lipid isomers with distinct spatial distributions were performed using tissue sections from a whole-body mouse pup.

Abstract
Glycerophospholipids (GPLs), one of the main components of bacterial cell membranes, exhibit high levels of structural complexity that are directly correlated with biophysical membrane properties such as permeability and fluidity. This structural complexity arises from the substantial variability in the individual GPL structural components such as the acyl chain length and headgroup type and is further amplified by the presence of modifications such as double bonds and cyclopropane rings. Here we use liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution and high-mass-accuracy ultraviolet photodissociation mass spectrometry for the most in-depth study of bacterial GPL modifications to date. In doing so, we unravel a diverse array of unexplored GPL modifications, ranging from acyl chain hydroxyl groups to novel headgroup structures. Along with characterizing these modifications, we elucidate general trends in bacterial GPL unsaturation elements and thus aim to decipher some of the biochemical pathways of unsaturation incorporation in bacterial GPLs. Finally, we discover aminoacyl-PGs not only in Gram-positive bacteria but also in Gram-negative C. jejuni, advancing our knowledge of the methods of surface charge modulation that Gram-negative organisms may adopt for antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
The need for detailed structural characterization of glycerophospholipids (GPLs) for many types of biologically motivated applications has led to the development of novel mass spectrometry-based methodologies that utilize alternative ion activation methods. Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) has shown great utility for localizing sites of unsaturation within acyl chains and to date has predominantly been used for positive mode analysis of GPLs. In the present work, UVPD is used to localize sites of unsaturation in GPL anions. Similar to UVPD mass spectra of GPL cations, UVPD of deprotonated or formate-adducted GPLs yields diagnostic fragment ions spaced 24 Da apart. This method was integrated into a liquid chromatography workflow and used to evaluate profiles of sites of unsaturation of lipids in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii). When assigning sites of unsaturation, E. coli was found to contain all unsaturation elements at the same position relative to the terminal methyl carbon of the acyl chain; the first carbon participating in a site of unsaturation was consistently seven carbons along the acyl chain when counting carbons from the terminal methyl carbon. GPLs from A. baumannii exhibited more variability in locations of unsaturation. For GPLs containing sites of unsaturation in both acyl chains, an MS3 method was devised to assign sites to specific acyl chains.

The use of PAH, metabolite and lipid profiling to assess exposure and effects of produced water discharges on pelagic copepods. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 714:136674.

Abstract
Several laboratory studies have demonstrated that exposure to oil components cause toxicity to copepods, however, this has never been shown in natural populations of copepods. In the present study, we sampled copepods in an area of the North Sea with high density of oil production platforms discharging produced water. Environmental modelling was used to predict produced water and copepod trajectories prior to copepod sampling in situ. To maximise output from a minimal number of field samples, a novel and combined methodology was developed to allow exploitation of the same extract for several purposes; contaminant body burden, lipidomics, and metabolomics analysis. PAH body burdens were low compared to laboratory experiments where correlations between PAH body burden and acute toxicity, reproduction and molecular endpoints had been established. Still, station-specific PAH profiles strongly indicated copepod exposure to PW. NMR metabolomics, focusing on water-soluble metabolites, suggested no correlation between metabolites and stations. Interestingly, lipidomics analyses suggested site-specific fingerprints and profiles displayed for acyl-glycerols and wax esters. Potential effects of produced water exposure on lipid metabolism in copepods cannot be ruled out and deserves more attention. Our study exemplifies the importance of incorporating novel and improved analytical methodologies in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Mapping the complete molecular composition of a lipidome is considered an important goal of lipidomics for unraveling pathways and mechanisms behind lipid homeostasis. Conventional dissociation methods of mass spectrometry (MS) usually cannot give detailed structural information on lipids such as locations of carbon-carbon double bonds (C═C) in acyl chains. Double-bond derivatization via the Paternò-Büchi (PB) reaction has been demonstrated as a simple and highly efficient method for identification of C═C locations of different classes of lipids when paired with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). In this work, reversed-phase lipid chromatography (RPLC)-MS was coupled with an online PB reaction to achieve enhanced analysis of isomers and isobars of phospholipids. A new acetone-containing mobile phase was developed that showed good elution performance for the separation of phospholipids by C18 columns. An improved flow microreactor was developed, enabling online derivatization of phospholipid C═C in 20 s. The workflow of RPLC-PB-MS/MS was developed and optimized for identification of C═C locations in isobaric ether-linked and diacyl phospholipids, 13C isobars, and acyl chain isomers in biological lipid extracts. Separation and identification of C═C locations of cis/trans phospholipid isomers were achieved for lipid standards. The incorporation of the PB reaction into the RPLC-MS workflow enabled analysis of phospholipid isomers and isobars with high confidence, demonstrating its potential for high-throughput phospholipid identification from complex mixtures.

Abstract
RATIONALE Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly malignant disease for which the development of prospective or prognostic biomarkers is urgently required. Although metabolomics is widely used for biomarker discovery, there are some bottlenecks regarding the comprehensiveness of detected features, reproducibility of methods, and identification of metabolites. In addition, information on localization of metabolites in tumor tissue is needed for functional analysis. Here, we developed a wide-polarity global metabolomics (G-Met) method, identified HCC biomarkers in human liver samples by high-definition mass spectrometry (HDMS), and demonstrated localization in cryosections using desorption electrospray ionization MS imaging (DESI-MSI) analysis. METHODS Metabolic profiling of tumor (n = 38) and nontumor (n = 72) regions in human livers of HCC was performed by an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight MS (UHPLC/QTOFMS) instrument equipped with a mixed-mode column. The HCC biomarker candidates were extracted by multivariate analyses and identified by matching values of the collision cross section and their fragment ions on the mass spectra obtained by HDMS. Cryosections of HCC livers, which included both tumor and nontumor regions, were analyzed by DESI-MSI. RESULTS From the multivariate analysis, m/z 904.83 and m/z 874.79 were significantly high and low, respectively, in tumor samples and were identified as triglyceride (TG) 16:0/18:1(9Z)/20:1(11Z) and TG 16:0/18:1(9Z)/18:2(9Z,12Z) using the synthetic compounds. The TGs were clearly localized in the tumor or nontumor areas of the cryosection. CONCLUSIONS Novel biomarkers for HCC were identified by a comprehensive and reproducible G-Met method with HDMS using a mixed-mode column. The combination analysis of UHPLC/QTOFMS and DESI-MSI revealed that the different molecular species of TGs were associated with tumor distribution and were useful for characterizing the progression of tumor cells and discovering prospective biomarkers.

Abstract
Lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) is observed under many pathological conditions, leading to cellular dysfunction and death. However, the mechanisms by which lysosomal membranes become leaky in vivo are not clear. Our data demonstrate that LMP occurs in neurons following controlled cortical impact induced (CCI) traumatic brain injury (TBI) in mice, leading to impaired macroautophagy (autophagy) and neuronal cell death. Comparison of LC-MS/MS lysosomal membrane lipid profiles from TBI and sham animals suggested a role for PLA2G4A/cPLA2 (phospholipase A2, group IVA [cytosolic, calcium-dependent]) in TBI-induced LMP. Activation of PLA2G4A caused LMP and inhibition of autophagy flux in cell lines and primary neurons. In vivo pharmacological inhibition of PLA2G4A attenuated TBI-induced LMP, as well as subsequent impairment of autophagy and neuronal loss, and was associated with improved neurological outcomes. Inhibition of PLA2G4A in vitro limited amyloid-β-induced LMP and inhibition of autophagy. Together, our data indicate that PLA2G4A -mediated lysosomal membrane damage is involved in neuronal cell death following CCI-induced TBI and potentially in other neurodegenerative disorders.Abbreviations: AACOCF3, arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone; ACTB/β-actin, actin, beta; AD, Alzheimer disease; ATG5, autophagy related 5; ATG7, autophagy related 7; ATG12, autophagy related 12; BECN1, beclin 1, autophagy related; C1P, ceramide-1-phosphate; CCI, controlled cortical impact; CTSD, cathepsin D; CTSL, cathepsin L; GFP, green fluorescent protein; IF, immunofluorescence; LAMP1, lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1; LAMP2, lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2; LC-MS/MS, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry; LMP, Lysosomal membrane permeabilization; LPC, lysophosphatidylcholine; LPE, lysophosphatidylethanolamine; MAP1LC3/LC3, microtuble-associated protein 1 light chain 3; NAGLU, alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (Sanfilippo disease IIIB); PC, diacyl glycerophosphatidylcholine; PE, diacyl glycerophosphatidylethanolamine; PE-O, plasmanyl glycerophosphatidylethanolamine; PE-P, plasmenyl glycerophosphatidylethanolamine; PLA2G4A/cPLA2, phospholipase A2, group IVA (cytosolic, calcium-dependent); RBFOX3, RNA binding protein, fox-1 homolog (C. elegans) 3; RFP, red fluorescent protein; ROS, reactive oxygen species; SQSTM1, sequestosome 1; TUBA1/α-tubulin, tubulin, alpha; TBI, traumatic brain injury; TFEB, transcription factor EB; ULK1, unc-51 like kinase 1.

Abstract
Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) are the most common causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Severe EV-A71 and CV-A16 infections may be associated with life-threatening complications. However, the pathogenic mechanisms underlying these severe clinical and pathological features remain incompletely understood. Lipids are known to play critical roles in multiple stages of the virus replication cycle. The specific lipid profile induced upon virus infection is required for optimal virus replication. The perturbations in the host cell lipidomic profiles upon enterovirus infection have not been fully characterized. To this end, we performed ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–quadrupole–time of flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS)-based lipidomics to characterize the change in host lipidome upon EV-A71 and CV-A16 infections. Our results revealed that 47 lipids within 11 lipid classes were significantly perturbed after EV-A71 and CV-A16 infection. Four polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), namely, arachidonic acid (AA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), were consistently upregulated upon EV-A71 and CV-A16 infection. Importantly, exogenously supplying three of these four PUFAs, including AA, DHA, and EPA, in cell cultures significantly reduced EV-A71 and CV-A16 replication. Taken together, our results suggested that enteroviruses might specifically modulate the host lipid pathways for optimal virus replication. Excessive exogenous addition of lipids that disrupted this delicate homeostatic state could prevent efficient viral replication. Precise manipulation of the host lipid profile might be a potential host-targeting antiviral strategy for enterovirus infection.

Abstract
The use of ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to data independent tandem mass spectrometry with traveling wave ion mobility for detection and structural identification of ether-linked glycerophosphoethanolamine is described. The experimental design generates 4D data (chromatographic retention time, precursor accurate mass, drift time with associated calculated collisional cross-section, and time-aligned accurate mass diagnostic product ions) for each ionization mode. Confident structure identification depends on satisfying 4D data confirmation in both positive and negative ion mode. Using this methodology, a number of ether-linked glycerophosphoethanolamine lipids are structurally elucidated from mouse brain lysosomes. It is further determined that several ether-linked glycerophosphoethanolamine structures are differentially abundant between lysosomes isolated from mouse cortex following traumatic brain injury as compared to that of sham animals. The combined effort of aligning multi-dimensional mass spectrometry data with a well-defined traumatic brain injury model lays the foundation for gaining mechanistic insight in the role lysosomal membrane damage plays in neuronal cell death following brain injury.
