Mass spectrometry-based characterisation of the cardiac microtissue metabolome and lipidome
摘要
Introduction
The use of large, non-sample specific metabolite reference libraries often results in high proportions of false positive annotations in untargeted metabolomics.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to measure and curate a library of polar metabolites and lipids present in cardiac microtissues.
ResultsUntargeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry measurements of cardiac microtissue intracellular extracts were annotated by comparison against four spectral databases and a retention time library. The annotations were combined to create a library of 313 polar metabolites and 1004 lipids.
ConclusionsThe curated library will facilitate higher confidence metabolite annotation in mass spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomics of cardiac microtissues.
