Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP003030
Sampleprep Summary:The sample preparation and lipid extraction were performed at the Centers for AIDS Research and Free Radical Biology, University of Alabama at Birmingham (Birmingham, AL, United States), following a protocol initially described and optimized at CEMBIO (Madrid, Spain). Approximately 75 mg of lung tissue was mixed with a cold (–20°C) mixture of MeOH:H2O (1:1, v/v) added in a ratio of 1 mg tissue:10 µL of extraction solvent. Next, the tissue samples were homogenized using the Dounce homogenizer. After the homogenization, 200 µL of homogenate was mixed with 640 µL of MeOH and 160 µL of Methyl-Tert-Butyl ether (MTBE) to extract hydrophobic compounds. Samples were then vortex-mixed for 1 hour at room temperature (RT) and centrifuged at 4000 g for 20 min at 20°C. The samples were then passed through spin X columns (0.22 µm filter), and 200 µL of the filtered sample was dried at RT in the vacuum concentrator. From here, the samples were sent to CEMBIO for the UHPLC-MS analysis. Prior to the analysis, dried samples were re-suspended with 200 µL of MeOH/MTBE/H2O (7.4:1.6:1, v/v/v), which contained the corresponding ISs (C17 – sphingosine at 1 ppm for positive ion mode, and d31–palmitic acid at 3 ppm for negative ion mode). Samples were then centrifuged (16,100xg, 5 min, 15°C) before transferring them into sample vials with glass inserts for LC-MS analysis.
