As ageing is a major risk factor for the development of non-communicable diseases, extending healthspan has become a medical and societal necessity. Precise lipid phenotyping that captures metabolic individuality could support healthspan extension strategies. This study applied 'omic-scale lipid profiling to characterise sex-specific age-related differences in the serum lipidome composition of healthy humans. A subset of the COmPLETE-Health study, composed of 73 young (25.2 ± 2.6 years, 43% female) and 77 aged (73.5 ± 2.3 years, 48% female) clinically healthy individuals, was investigated, using an untargeted liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry approach. Compared to their younger counterparts, aged females and males exhibited significant higher levels in 138 and 107 lipid species representing 15 and 13 distinct subclasses, respectively. Percentage of difference ranged from 5.8% to 61.7% (females) and from 5.3% to 46.0% (males), with sphingolipid and glycerophophospholipid species displaying the greatest amplitudes. Remarkably, specific sphingolipid and glycerophospholipid species, previously described as cardiometabolically favourable, were found elevated in aged individuals. Furthermore, specific ether-glycerophospholipid and lyso-glycerophosphocholine species displayed higher levels in aged females only, revealing a more favourable lipidome evolution in females. Altogether, age determined the circulating lipidome composition, while lipid species analysis revealed additional findings that were not observed at the subclass level.
由于衰老是非传染性疾病发生的主要风险因素,延长健康寿命已成为医学和社会的必然需求。能够捕捉代谢个体差异的精确脂质表型分析可为延长健康寿命的策略提供支持。本研究应用 “组学” 规模的脂质谱分析来表征健康人类血清脂质组组成中性别特异性的年龄相关差异。使用非靶向液相色谱高分辨率质谱方法,对由73名年轻(25.2±2.6岁,43% 为女性)和77名老年(73.5±2.3岁,48% 为女性)临床健康个体组成的 “完全健康” 研究的一个子集进行了调查。与年轻个体相比,老年女性和男性分别在代表15个和13个不同亚类的138种和107种脂质中表现出显著更高的水平。差异百分比范围为5.8% 至61.7%(女性)和5.3% 至46.0%(男性),鞘脂和甘油磷脂类脂质的差异幅度最大。值得注意的是,先前被描述为对心脏代谢有利的特定鞘脂和甘油磷脂类脂质在老年个体中升高。此外,特定的醚甘油磷脂和溶血甘油磷酸胆碱类脂质仅在老年女性中水平较高,这表明女性的脂质组进化更为有利。总之,年龄决定了循环脂质组的组成,而脂质种类分析揭示了在亚类水平未观察到的其他发现。
