ABSTRACT
A causal relationship between plasma ceramide concentration and respiratory distress symptoms in COVID-19 patients is inferred. In this study, plasma samples of 52 individuals infected with COVID-19 were utilized in a lipidomic analysis. Lipids belonging to the ceramide class exhibited a 400-fold increase in total plasma concentration in infected patients. Further analysis led to the demonstration of concentration dependency for severe COVID-19 respiratory symptoms in a subclass of ceramides. The subclasses Cer(d180/241), Cer(d181/241), and Cer(d181/220) were shown to be increased by 48-, 40-, and 33-fold, respectively, in infected plasma samples and to 116-, 91- and 50-fold, respectively, in plasma samples with respiratory distress. Hence, monitoring plasma ceramide concentration, can be a valuable tool for measuring effects of therapies on COVID-19 respiratory distress patients.
