Fig.S1 Red lines represent for the precisions of lipid identifications under various matched parametersin both positive and negative modes. The precision is calculated as true positives divided by the sum of true positives and false positives. The histograms represent for the true positives under various matched parameters, where “weight.mz” ranges from 0-3 and “weight.int” ranges from 0-1. The sampleswere the natural glycerophospholipid standards. All identification results were manually inspected.

Supplemental Materials and Methods

2.1 Chemicals

Lipid standards were all purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster, USA). Abbreviations for all lipid classes were provided in Supplementary Table 1. Ammonium formate and 2-propanol (IPA) was purchased from Fisher Scientific (Morris Plains, NJ, USA). LC–MS grade water (H2O), acetonitrile (ACN), methanol (MeOH), GC grade dichloromethane (DCM), and LC grade tert-butyl methyl ether (MTBE) were purchased from Honeywell (Muskegon, MI, USA). The human plasma was purchased fromEquitech-Bio (Catalog No. HPH-0500, TX, USA). The Jurkat cells were donated by Professor Junying Yuan from Harvard Medical School.

2.2Sample preparation

The lipids from human plasma, Jurkat cell, mouse brain tissue were extracted using a modified MTBE extraction method (Matyash et al. 2008).Specifically, the human plasma sample (30 μL) was firstly diluted to 200μLusing water. Then, 480 μL of the extraction solvent (MTBE:MeOH =5:1, v/v) containing0.5μL of SIL-IS(d7-PE (15:0/18:1), 100 ppm, Catalog No.791638C, Avanti) was added. The sample was vortexed for 30 s, followed by the 10 min of sonication. The solution was centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 15 min. The upper organic layer (i.e., MTBE layer) was collected into a new Eppendorf tube. Then, 200 μL of MTBE was added to the left aqueouslayer for further extraction. The solution wasvortexed, sonicated, and centrifugation again as previously described. Then, the upper organic layer was collected again. The re-extraction process was repeated twice to ensure the high extraction recovery. Finally, the pooledorganic layer was evaporated using a vacuum concentrator(Catalog No.7310038, LABCONCO). The dry extract was reconstituted using 100 μL of DCM:MeOH (1:1, v/v) prior to LC–MS/MS analysis.

The Jurkat cell pellet (~ 5106 cell/sample) was mixed with water (200μL). The sample was then vortexed for 30 s and incubated in liquid nitrogen for 1 min. Then it was thaw at room temperature and sonicated for 10 min. This freeze–thaw cycle was repeated three times in total.Protein concentration in the sample wasmeasured using the Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Catalog No. 23225, Thermo Fisher).Then, 480 μL of the extraction solvent (MTBE:MeOH =5:1, v/v) containing0.5μL of SIL-IS(d7-PE (15:0/18:1), 100 ppm) was added. The sample was vortexed for 30 s, followed by the 10 min of sonication. And the rest procedures were the same as the preparation of human plasma samples.

The frozen mouse brain tissue was weighted and homogenized in H2O (~200 μLH2O for ~10mg tissue) using the homogenizer (Precellys 24, Bertin Technologies, France). Protein concentration in the homogenized solution wasmeasured using the Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Catalog No.23225, Thermo Fisher). Then, 50 μL of homogenized solution was taken and diluted to 2000μLusingwater. Then, 4800 μL of the extraction solvent (MTBE:MeOH =5:1, v/v) containing 1 μL of SIL-IS(d7-PE (15:0/18:1), 100 ppm) was added. The solution was vortexed for 30 s, followed by 10 min of sonication, and centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 15 min. The upper organic layer was collected. And an additional 2000 μL of MTBE was added to the bottom layer for re-extraction. The re-extraction was repeated twice. The pooled organic layer was evaporated using a vacuum concentrator. The dry extract was reconstituted using 100 μL of DCM:MeOH (1:1, v/v) prior to LC –MS/MS analysis.

2.3LC–MS/MS data acquisition

The LC–MS/MS analyses were performed using an HPLC system (1290 series, Agilent Technologies) coupled to a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TripleTOF 6600, AB Sciex). Chromatographic separations were performed on a PhenomenexKinetex C18 column (particle size, 1.7 μm; 100 mm (length)2.1 mm (i.d.))with a column temperature of 55 °C. The mobile phases A = 10 mM ammonium formate in H2O:ACN (6:4, v/v), and B = 10 mM ammonium formate in IPA:ACN (9:1, v/v), were used for both ESI positive and negative modes. The linear gradient elutes from 40 to 100% B (0–12min), 100% B (12–14min), 100 to 40% B (14–14.2 min), then equilibrate at 40 % B until 18 min. And the flow rate was set as 0.3 mL/min.The mass spectrometry parameters were applied as follows: ion source gas 1 (GS1), 60 psi; ion source gas 2 (GS2), 60 psi; curtain gas (CUR), 30 psi; temperature, 600 °C; ionspray voltage floating (ISVF), 5000 V or -4500 V in positive or negative modes, respectively; declustering potential (DP), 100 V. Data-dependent acquisition (DDA) method was used for MS/MS acquisition.Each acquisitioncycle consists of one rapid TOF MS survey scan (200ms) followed by the consecutive acquisition of 11 product ion scans (50ms each). For TOF MS survey scan, the mass range is from 200 to 2000 Da, and collision energy (CE) is set as 10 V.For product ion scan, the mass ranges are from 100 to 2000 Da, and collision energy (CE) is set as 4525 V. Dynamic background subtraction was applied. Dynamic exclusion is set as 4 seconds after 2 occurrences to ensure thenon-repetitiveacquisitionof MS/MS spectra from the same ion.

To acquire the MS/MS spectra of lipid standards,lipid standards were first prepared at a concentration of 10ppm in either MeOH/DCM (1: 1, v/v) or MeOH/H2O(1: 1, v/v). Each lipid standard solution was infused at a flow rate of 150μL/min into the mass spectrometer without a LC column. Source parameters were set the same as above. In each acquisition,multiple collision energy (CE) levels were applied, including 9 fixed levels (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 V) and 5 ramp ones (55±35, 50±30,45±25,40±20, and 35±15).

2.4Curationof an in-house MS/MS spectral library for lipid identification

An in-house lipid MS/MS spectral library was curated using the fragmentation rules and relative intensities of fragment ions derived from the experimentally acquired standard MS/MS spectra. Briefly, we firstly acquired the experimental MS/MS spectra of 71 lipid standards representing for 34 lipid classes at the optimized CE level. In our Q-TOF instrument, the CE level was optimized as 45  25 V, which provides abundant and characteristic fragment ions for most lipid species. For example, we have chosen four PS standards for the acquisition of experimental MS/MS spectra. Secondly, we generated the fragmentation rule for PS and recorded relative intensities of each fragment ion from the experimental MS/MS spectra. The relative intensities of fragment ions provide the positional information of fatty acyl chain, and are used to distinguish the positional isomeric lipids, such as PS (16:0/18:1) and PS (16:0/18:1). Finally, we predicted the MS/MS spectra of all 5,476 PS lipids. Lipid species within PS class have the similar molecular structures and the similar fragmentation patterns. Molecular structure templates for lipids were partly followed as LipidBLAST. In short, the structure of lipid specie consists of linear combination of backbone, head group and fatty acid chain (Supplementary Table 5). The structures of lipids within PS class vary in fatty acid chain, ranging from C2 to C26 in lengths of acyl carbon chains and from 0 to 6 in the number of double bonds in a single acyl chain. Thus the MS/MS spectra of all lipids in PS class have the conjectural fragment ions m/z, and the same relative intensities for each fragment ion, basing on the above fragmentation rules and relative intensities.The same method was applied to predict other lipid species. Several adductive forms, including [M+H]+, [M+NH4]+, [M+Na]+, [M-H]-, and [M+HCOO]- were considered.

2.5 Calculation of recovery rates

The recovery rate is defined as the fraction of the analyte recovered after sample extraction.It can be evaluated using the peak areas of the standard added before sample extraction and after extraction (Eq. 1).

= (1)

The calculation of recovery rateswas separated into two different protocols. In first experiment,5 μL of 34 lipid standard mixtures (5 ug/ml each, Supplementary Table 1) was added to the matrix (13C-labled bacteria sample)before the sample extraction (B). Then, another5 μL of 34 lipid standard mixtures (5 ug/ml each) was added to the matrix (13C-labled bacteria)after the sample extraction (A).To comprehensively evaluate recovery rates of each lipid, a flow injection analysis was performed to detect lipids besides of LC-MS experiment.

In lipidomics analysis of biological sample, to evaluate recovery rate in sample preparation, we usually prepared the pooled QC samples in duplicate. In one QC sample, the SIL-IS (d7-PE (15:0/18:1), Catalog No. 791638C, Avanti) was added before the sample extraction (B). In the other QC sample, the same SIL-IUS was added after the sample extraction (A). Then, the Eq. 1 is used to calculate the recovery rate of SIL-IS in each experiment. In our opinion, the recovery rate of SIL-IS between 60% an 140% is acceptable.

2.6 Statistical analyses

Lipid levels were expressed in terms of mass fractions normalized to the total lipids detected in each sample. Statistical comparisons of normalized mass fractions among mouse brains from five ages were performed using Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric analysis of variance (ANOVA). For all analyses, ***p value < 0.001;**p value < 0.01; *p value < 0.05.Hierarchical clustering analysis was performed to group lipids that displayed the similar alternation patterns across five ages using the pheatmap() function provided in R (R Studio 1.0.44, Boston, USA). Correlation matrix analysis was performed using the Pearson’s correlation using the cor() function in R.
