Data were processed using Progenesis QI (Nonlinear, Waters). Peak picking and retention time alignment of LC-MS and MSe data were performed using Progenesis QI software (Nonlinear, Waters). Data processing and peak annotations were performed using an in-house automated pipeline as previously described.(13 (link)–16 (link)) Annotations were determined by matching accurate mass and retention times using customized libraries created from authentic standards and by matching experimental tandem mass spectrometry data against the NIST MSMS, LipidBlast or HMDB v3 theoretical fragmentations; for complex lipids retention time patterns characteristic of lipid subclasses was also considered. To correct for injection order drift, each feature was normalized using data from repeat injections of quality control samples collected every 10 injections throughout the run sequence. Measurement data were smoothed by Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing (LOESS) signal correction (QC-RLSC) as previously described. Values are reported as ratios relative to the median of historical quality control reference samples run with every analytical batch for the given analyte.(13 (link)–16 (link))
