Endogenous lipids from mouse liver and heart were detected and quantified using several techniques. FC was quantified using straight-phase HPLC and ELS detection as previously described10 (link). Quantification was made against an external calibration curve. This chromatographic set-up was also used to fractionate DG. Quantification of CE, TG, SM, and phospholipids (all from the total extract) and DG (fractionated from the HPLC) was made by direct infusion (shotgun) on a QTRAP 5500 mass spectrometer (Sciex, Concord, Canada) equipped with a robotic nanoflow ion source, TriVersa NanoMate (Advion BioSciences, Ithaca, NJ)11 (link). For this analysis, total lipid extracts, stored in chloroform:methanol (2:1), were diluted with internal standard-containing chloroform/methanol (1:2) with 5mM ammonium acetate and then infused directly into the mass spectrometer. The characteristic dehydrocholesterol fragment m/z 369.3 was selected for precursor ion scanning of CE in positive ion mode12 (link). The analysis of TG and DG was performed in positive ion mode by neutral loss detection of 10 common acyl fragments formed during collision induced dissociation13 (link). The PC, LPC and SM were detected using precursor ion scanning of m/z 184.114 (link), while the PE, phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidylinositol (PI) lipid classes were detected using neutral loss of m/z 141.0, m/z 185.0, m/z 189.0 and m/z 277.0 respectively15 (link)16 (link). For quantification, lipid class-specific internal standards were used. The internal standards were either deuterated or contained diheptadecanoyl (C17:0) fatty acids.
Ceramides (CER), dihydroceramides (DiCER), glucosylceramides (GlcCER) and lactosylceramides (LacCER) were quantified using a QTRAP 5500 mass spectrometer equipped with a Rheos Allegro quaternary ultra-performance pump (Flux Instruments, Basel, Switzerland). Before analysis the total extract was exposed to alkaline hydrolysis (0.1M potassium hydroxide in methanol) to remove phospholipids that could potentially cause ion suppression effects. After hydrolysis the samples were reconstituted in chloroform:methanol:water [3:6:2] and analyzed as previously described17 (link).
For the recovery experiments the tissue samples were spiked with non-endogenously present lipids (or endogenous lipids spiked at relatively high levels) and could therefore all be detected by lipid class specific scans using the shotgun approach. In the recovery experiment we therefore also included the PA and phosphatidylcholine plasmalogen (PC P) lipid class, which we could not measure endogenously using our current analytical platform. Due to poor ionization efficiency, FC was derivatized and analyzed as picolinyl esters according to previous publication18 (link). See Table 1 for details. With some exceptions, lipids are annotated according to Liebisch et al.19 (link).

Total lipids were extracted as described in (Singh et al., 2011 ). In brief, single colony from WT, Δsmt1, Δsmt1+SMT1, Δgcs1 and Δgcs1+GCS1 were picked from freshly streaked YPD plates and grown in 15 ml YPD at 30°C for 20 hrs at 250 rpm. The cells were washed twice with sterile Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) and counted. Then, 5 × 108 cells were placed in a single glass tube, washed once with sterile DDW, and Mandala extraction was performed for extraction of inositol-containing phospholipids and phosphatidylcholine. Bligh and Dyer lipid extraction (Bligh et al., 1959 ) of neutral lipids was performed on the dried lipids obtained after Mandala lipid extraction (Mandala et al., 1995 (link)). A quarter of the samples were aliquoted for inorganic phosphate determination. The tubes were vacuum dried and used for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. The MS and MS/MS scans were conducted using a Thermo Finnigan TSQ7000 triple quadruple mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization (Bielawski et al., 2009 (link)). The analyses included multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) for the characteristic product ions of m/z=276.2 (α-OH-Δ4-Δ8,9methyl-GlcCer at m/z 756.4), 262.0 (α-OH-Δ4-Δ8- GlcCer at m/z 742.4), 576.4 (α-OH-Δ4-Δ8,9methyl-ceramide at m/z 594.4), and 562.4 (α-OH-Δ4-Δ8-ceramide at m/z 580.4).

During the sample preparation, lipids and polar metabolites were separated prior to analyses through solvent extraction/fractionation. Hence, potential problems in ion suppression or the ability of compounds to be ionized were limited due to the use of Lipidomic LC–MS/MS, HILIC-MS/MS (including positive and negative electrospray), and the complementary use of GC-electron ionization-MS.
Briefly, five milligrams of tissue from each brain region were homogenized in 225 µL of −20 °C cold, internal standard-containing methanol using a GenoGrinder 2010 (SPEX SamplePrep) for 2 min at 1,350 rpm. The extraction methanol contained the following internal standards for quality control and retention time normalization: sphingosine (d17:1), LPE (17:1), LPC (17:0), MG (17:0/0:0/0:0), DG (12:0/12:0/0:0), PC (12:0/13:0), cholesterol-d7, SM (18:1/17:1), ceramide (d18:1/17:0), PE (17:0/17:0), TG (14:0/16:1/14:0)-d5, TG (17:0/17:1/17:0)-d5, acylcarnitine (18:1)-d3, fatty acid (16:0)-d3, MAG (17:0/0:0/0:0), PI (15:0–18:1)-d7, PG (17:0/17:0), PS (15:0-18:1)-d7, glucosylceramide(d18:1/17:0), mono-sulfo galactosylceramide(d18:1/17:0), and 5-PAHSA-d9. The homogenate was vortexed for 10 s. 750 µL of −20 °C cold, internal standard-containing methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) was added, and the mixture was vortexed for 10 s and shaken at 4 °C for 5 min with an Orbital Mixing Chilling/Heating Plate (Torrey Pines Scientific Instruments). MTBE contained cholesteryl ester 22:1 as internal standard. Next, 188 µL room temperature water was added and vortexed for 20 s to induce phase separation. After centrifugation for 2 min at 14,000×g, two 350 µL aliquots of the upper non-polar phase and two 125 µL aliquots of the bottom polar phase were collected and dried down. The remaining fractions were combined to form QC pools and were injected after every set of 10 biological samples.
The non-polar phase employed for lipidomics was resuspended in a mixture of methanol/toluene (60 µL, 9:1, v/v) containing an internal standard [12-[(cyclohexylamine) carbonyl]amino]-dodecanoic acid (CUDA)] before injection. Resuspension of dried polar phases for HILIC analysis was performed in a mixture of acetonitrile/water (90 µL, 4:1, v/v) containing the following internal standards: CUDA, caffeine-d9, acetylcholine-d4, TMAO-d9, 1-methylnicotinamide-d3, Val-Tyr-Val, betaine-d9, acyl carnitine (2:0)-d3, N-methyl-histamine-d3, l-carnitine-d3, butyrobetaine-d9, l-glutamine-d5, aspartic acid-d3, l-arginine-15N2, cystine-d4, asparagine-d3, histidine-d5, isoleucine-d10, leucine-d10, methionine-d8, ornithine-d2, phenylalanine-d8, proline-d7, threonine-d5, tryptohan-d8, tyrosine-d7, valine-d8, spermine-d8, glucose-d7, fructose-6-phosphate-13C6, succinic acid-d4, taurocholic acid-d4, adenosine 5′-monophosphate-15N5, uridine 5′-monophosphate-15N2, dopamine-d4, taurine-d4, uracil-d2, biotin-d4, N-acetylalanine-d3, guanine-13C, and adenosine-13C5. The second dried polar phase was reserved for GC analysis and a following derivatization process was carried out before injection. First, carbonyl groups were protected by methoximation with methoxyamine hydrochloride in pyridine (40 mg/mL, 10 µL) was added to the dried samples. Then, the mixture was incubated at 30 °C for 90 min followed by trimethylsilylation with N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA, 90 μL) containing C8–C30 fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) as internal standards by shaking at 37 °C for 30 min.

In total, 363 different metabolites were detected. The metabolomics dataset contains 18 amino acids, nine reducing mono-, di- and oligosaccharides (abbreviated as Hn for n-hexose, dH for desoxyhexose, UA for uronic acid, HNAc for N-acetylglucosamine, P for Pentose, NANA for N-acetylneuraminic-acid), seven biogenic amines, five prostaglandins, arachidonic acid (AA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), free carnitine (C0), 28 acylcarnitines (Cx:y), hydroxylacylcarnitines (C(OH)x:y), and dicarboxylacylcarnitines (Cx:y-DC), 85 ceramides (Cer), glucosylceramides (GlcCer), different sphingomyelins (SMx:y) and sphingomyelin-derivatives, such as N-hydroxyldicarboacyloylsphingosyl-phosphocholine (SM(OH,COOH)x:y) and N-hydroxylacyloylsphingosyl-phosphocholine (SM(OH)x:y). In addition, 208 phospholipids were detected, including different glycero-phosphatidic acids (PA), glycero-phosphatidylcholines (PC), glycero-phosphatidylethanolamines (PE), phosphatidylglycerols (PG), glycero-phosphatidylinositols (PI), glycero-phosphatidylinositol-bisphosphates (PIP2), and glycero-phosphatidylserines (PS). Glycerophospholipids are further differentiated with respect to the presence of ester (a) and ether (e) bonds in the glycerol moiety, where two letters (aa = diacyl, ae = acyl-alkyl, ee = dialkyl) denote that two glycerol positions are bound to a fatty acid residue, while a single letter (a = acyl or e = alkyl) indicates the presence of a single fatty acid residue. Lipid side chain composition is abbreviated as Cx:y, where x denotes the number of carbons in the side chain and y the number of double bonds. E.g. “PC ae C33:1” denotes a plasmalogen/plasmenogen phosphatidylcholine with 33 carbons in the two fatty acid side chains and a single double bond in one of them. The precise position of the double bonds and the distribution of the carbon atoms in different fatty acid side chains cannot be determined with this technology. In some cases, the mapping of metabolite names to individual masses can be ambiguous. For example, stereo-chemical differences are not always discernible, neither are isobaric fragments. In such cases, possible alternative assignments are indicated.

Data for each timepoint was classified by LIPID MAPS category66 (link): glycerophospholipids, glycerolipids, sphingolipids, sterol lipids, fatty acyls, and prenol lipids were detected. Each category contains distinct subclasses as annotated below. Glycerophospholipids: Phosphatidylcholine (PC), Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), Phosphatidylserine (PS), Phosphatidylinositol (PI), Methylphosphocholine (MePC), Phosphatidic acid (PA), Bis-methyl phosphatidic acid (BisMePA), Dimethyl phosphatidylethanolamine (dMePE), Phosphatidylgylcerol (PG), Bis-methylphosphatidylserine (BisMePS), Bis-methyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (BisMePE), Cardiolipin (CL), Phosphatidylethanol (PEt), Biotinyl-phosphoethanolamine (BiotinylPE), Phosphatidylmethanol (PMe), Phosphatidylinositol-bisphosphate (PIP2), Phosphatidylinositol-monophosphate (PIP), Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), Lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE), Lysophosphatidylserine (LPS), Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI), Lysophosphosphatidylgylcerol (LPG), Lysodimethyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (LdMePE). Glycerolipids: Triglyceride (TG), Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), Monogalactosylmonoacylglycerol (MGMG), Diglyceride (DG), Sulfoquinovosylmonoacylglycerol (SQMG), Sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG). Sphingolipids: Hexosylceramides (Hex1Cer), Simple Glc series (CerG1), Sphingomyelin (SM), Ceramide (Cer), Ceramide phosphate (CerP), Sulfatide (ST), Sphingoid base (So), Sphingomyelin phytosphingosine (phSM), Simple Glc series (CerG2GNAc1), Ceramide phosphorylethanolamine (CerPE), Sphingosine (SPH), Dihexosylceramides (Hex2Cer). Sterol lipids: Cholesterol ester (ChE), Zymosterol (ZyE). Fatty acyls: Fatty acid (FA), Acyl Carnitine (AcCa). Prenol lipids: Coenzyme (Co).
Individual lipid species were annotated according to sum composition of carbons and double bonds in the format Lipid Subclass (total number of carbons: total number of double bonds). If distinct fatty acid chains could be identified, they were annotated separated by an underscore (ex. PC 32:1, or PC (16:0_16:1). Using this approach, we cannot determine the sn-1 or sn-2 positions of the fatty acid chains. Lipid species within the sphingolipid category contain prefixes ‘d’ or ‘t’ to denote di-hydroxy or tri-hydroxy bases. For example, SM(d18:1_23:0) contains 2 hydroxyl groups. The Hex1Cer subclass is comprised of both glucosylceramide (GlcCer) and galactosylceramide (GalCer); the orientation of one of the hydroxyl groups in Glc differs from in Gal, and thus cannot be resolved by these methods 67 (link). Plasmanyl lipid species (ether linked) are annotated by ‘e’ and plasmenyl/plasmalogen (vinyl ether linked) lipid species are annotated by ‘p’ (ex. PC (36:5e) or PE (16:0p_20:4) 68 (link).
