| Study Title | Comparative lipidomics of iPSC-derived microglia protocols reveal lipid droplet and immune differences mediated by media composition |
| Study Summary | In this study, we have compared the lipid composition of iPSC-derived microglia generated using a classical EB-based method and an iTF-based method. TG are strongly increased in iTF microglia due to the absence of a media supplement (B-27). Supplementing iTF microglia with B-27, or its component L-carnitine, reduces TG and promotes a homeostatic state. B-27 also renders iTF microglia metabolically responsive to immune stimuli. Overall, our data show that iMGL differentiation methods have a major impact on microglial lipidomes and warrant attention when studying AD and neuroinflammatory processes involving lipids. |

| Project Title: | Lipidomic analysis of iPSC-derived microglia models |
| Project Summary: | Altered microglial lipid metabolism is heavily implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and ageing. Recently, protocols were developed to generate human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia-like cells (iMGL) to study microglial function in vitro, including embryoid body-based methods and transcription factor-dependent (iTF) approaches. Here, we performed comparative lipidomics on iMGL from these methods and report major differences in multiple lipid classes including triglycerides (TG), a storage form of fatty acids implicated in microglial reactivity. We compared the lipid composition of iPSC-derived microglia generated using a classical EB-based method and an iTF-based method. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO004574 |
| Collection Summary: | Human iPSC-derived microglia-like cells (iMGL) were harvested as follows: cells were washed in DPBS and incubated with Accutase for 7 min before centrifugation at 300g for 5 min. Cell pellets were resuspended in ADF12 and 0.5-1.5 million cells transferred to a conical tube and centrifuged at 300g for 5 min. Cells were resuspended in 1 mL DPBS and transferred into 1.5 mL tubes before centrifugation at 300g for 5 min at 4°C. The supernatant was aspirated, and the cell pellet snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until further processing. |

| Sampleprep Summary: | Lipidomic analysis was performed following standardized, quantitative protocols, as previously described (Feringa et al., 2025; Ghorasaini et al., 2021). Briefly, 25 µL of the Lipidyzer internal standard mix containing 54 deuterated standards, was added to the cell pellet. Extraction was performed using a methyl tert-butyl ether-based method. After drying under a gentle stream of nitrogen, samples were dissolved in running buffer consisting of methanol:dichloromethane (1:1) containing 10 mM ammonium acetate, before injection into the Lipidyzer platform consisting of a SCIEX QTRAP 5500 mass spectrometer equipped with an SelexION DMS interface and a Nexera X3 UHPLCsystem. SLA software was used to process data files and report lipid class, species concentration and composition values (Su et al., 2021). Lipidyzer data analysis was carried out on SODA-light, a built-in data browser for the Neurolipid Atlas repository. |

| MS Comments: | Method 1: Lipidomics measurements are ran on a Sciex Qtrap 6500+ mounted with a Differential Mobility Separation (DMS) cell. As the sensitivity of the mass spectrometer is affected by the DMS cell, each sample is injected twice into the mass spectrometer, once for a measurement with DMS separation (method 1) and once without DMS separation (method 2). The mass spectrometer and DMS cell are operated by Analyst 1.7.3, which runs separate method files for both methods to measure a corresponding panel of lipids in Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) across 20 cycles in both positive mode and negative mode. Shotgun Lipidomics Assistant (SLA) utilizes this dictionary combined with the standard_dict and ISOcorrectlist to quantify lipid concentrations in mzmL files based on the ratio of the analyte to the defined internal standard and applies isotopic correction, resulting in excel file outputs for each method which we have uploaded. |
