From MS/MS Library Implementation to Molecular Networks: Exploring Oxylipin Diversity with NEO-MSMS library

<p>Oxylipins, small polar molecules derived from the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), serve as biomarkers for diseases and play crucial roles in human physiology and inflammation. Despite their significance, many non-enzymatic oxygenated metabolites of PUFAs (NEO-PUFAs) remain poorly reported, resulting in a lack of public datasets of experimental data and limiting their dereplication in further studies. To overcome this limitation, we constructed a high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) database comprising pure NEO-PUFA (both commercial and synthesized) and<em> in vitro</em> free radical-induced oxidations of diverse PUFAs and oxylipins. Furthermore, we conducted various molecular networking analyses on these standards, as well as on in vitro free radical-induced oxidations, serum samples, and algae samples. This was done to demonstrate their potential in derreplication and to provide additional putative oxylipins This dataset contains all the data used in this study including the raw data and&nbsp;the MzMine 3 procesed data used to built the molecular networks&nbsp;(i.e. feature tables and MSMS spectra).</p> <p>The folder &lsquo;libraries&rsquo;&nbsp;contained the NEO-MSMS library divided into three .mgf files, i.e., the standards obtained with Q-Exactive Focus (i.e. NEOMSMS_QFocus_lib.mgf), Orbitrap ID-X Tribrid (i.e. NEOMSMS_idX_lib.mgf), and from the Watrous et al. study (Cell Chem Biol., 2019; 26(3):433-442)&nbsp;(NEOMSMS_Watrous_lib.mgf). Moreover, the individual .mgf files from each compound was included in three subfolders following the same syntax. The folder &lsquo;oxPUFAs&rsquo; contains the raw .mzML files of the LC-MSMS analysis and the mzMine alignment results (i.e., the feature tables and the extracted .mgf files) of the <em>in vitro</em> oxidized PUFAs. The folder &lsquo;algae_serum&rsquo; contains the same type of data from the algae and serum samples. The folder &lsquo;oxOxylipins&rsquo; contains the raw .mzML files of the LC-MSMS analysis of the miniaturized oxidation of HETE, rearrangement of PGH₁ and PGH₂. Finally, the &lsquo;putative_lib&acute; folder contains the putatively annotated oxylipins in the same structure as &lsquo;libraries&rsquo; folder.</p>
