Abstract:	BACKGROUND: Timely medical interventions in severe cases of COVID-19 and better understanding of the pathogenesis are essential for reducing the mortality, but early classification of severe cases and its progression is challenging. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the levels of circulating phospholipid metabolites and their relationship with the severity of COVID-19 and the potential role of phospholipids in the progression of the disease. METHODS: In this study, we performed non-targeted lipidomic analysis of plasma samples (n=150) collected from COVID-19 patients (N=46) with three levels of severity, healthy individuals and subjects with metabolic diseases. RESULTS: Results showed that phospholipid metabolism was significantly altered in COVID-19 patients. A panel of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) ratios were significantly correlated with the severity of COVID-19, in which 16 phospholipid ratios were shown to distinguish severe patients from mild cases and healthy controls, and 9 of which were at variance with those in subjects with metabolic diseases. In particular, relatively lower ratios of circulating (PC16:1/22:6)/LPC16:1 and (PE18:1/22:6)/LPE18:1 were the most indicative of severe COVID-19. The elevation of levels of LPC16:1 and LPE18:1 contributed to the changes of related lipid ratios. An exploratory functional study of LPC16:1 and LPE18:1 demonstrated their ability in causing membrane perturbation, increased intracellular calcium, cytokines, and apoptosis in cellular models. CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate significant Lands cycle remodeling in patients with severe COVID-19, and suggest the potential utility of selective phospholipids with functional consequences in evaluating COVID-19 severity and its pathogenesis.
