Bioinformatic tools capable of registering, rapidly and reproducibly, large numbers of nanoliquid chromatography-nanoelectrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-nESI-MS/MS) lipidomic datasets are lacking. We provide here a freely available Retention Time Standardization and Registration (RTStaR) algorithm that aligns nLC-nESI-MS/MS spectra within a single dataset and compares these aligned retention times across multiple datasets. This two-step calibration matches cor-responding and identifies unique lipid species in different lipidomes from different matrices and organisms. RTStaR was developed using a population-based study of 1001 human serum samples composed of 71 distinct glycerophosphocholine metabolites comprising a total of 68,572 analytes. Platform and matrix independence were validated using different MS instruments, nLC methodologies, and mammalian lipidomes. The complete algorithm is packaged in two modular ExcelTM workbook templates for easy implementation. RTStaR is freely available from the India Taylor Lipidomics Research Platform http://www.neurolipidomics.ca/rtstar/rtstar.html. Technical support is provided through [email protected]

AbstractAimTo putatively identify and characterise human tear metabolites in a normal subject on an untargeted platform of liquid chromatography-Q exactive-HF mass spectrometry.MethodsFour samples of unstimulated tears were collected from both eyes on four consecutive days between 1 – 2 pm using a microcapillary tube and pooled from both eyes each day. Untargeted analysis of the tears was performed by chromatographic separation of constituent metabolites in both CSH-C18RP (Charged Surface Hybrid-C18 Reversed Phase) and SeQuant ZIC-pHILIC (Zwitterionic-polymeric Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography) columns, followed by heated electrospray ionization (HESI) and the acquisition of mass spectra using QExactive-HF mass spectrometer. Compound Discoverer software (v2.0) was used for data analysis.ResultEighty-two metabolites were tentatively identified. Seventy compounds (85.4 %) were observed in all four samples with a coefficient of variation (CV) less than 25 %. Fifty-nine metabolites (71.9 %) were novel in the healthy tears. Amino acids were the most frequently detected metabolites in the tears (28 %), followed by carbohydrates (12.2 %), carboxylic acids (8.5 %), carnitines (6.1 %) and glycerophospholipids (4.9 %), respectively.ConclusionThe current untargeted platform is capable of detecting a range of tear metabolites across several biological categories. This study provides a baseline for further ocular surface studies.
