• W2030978635 abstract "The truth often comes from debating. We are glad to discuss the issues Dr. Butovich et al. has raised about our paper.1 We recognize Dr. Butovich's contribution to the identification and quantitation of wax esters and cholesteryl esters. However, it is important to gather information on all the major species in meibomian lipids.The first comment was regarding the origin of the free fatty acids (FFAs) that we observed in normal human meibum. Dr. Butovich suggested that the FFAs we reported were from in-source decay of complex lipids, such as cholesteryl esters, triacylglycerols, and di- and triesters. We also thought about this when reading the paper of Butovich,2 published recently (made available on the publisher's website on May 12, 2010, 1 month after the submission of our manuscript). We agree that the relative intensities of the FFAs of C20 to C28 chain length appear to match those of the cholesteryl esters with the same fatty acid moiety compositions (Fig. 3 of our paper1) and are somewhat similar to the fatty acid compositions of the cholesteryl esters reported by Butovich.2 It is probably true that these fatty acids mainly originate from cholesteryl esters. It is also possible that considerable amounts of C18:0, C18:1, and C16:1 FFAs are from the dissociation of diesters or triacylglycerols. Currently, we are working on an alternative way for determining the amount of FFAs.The second comment is about the amount of C16:1-based wax esters. We agree that for some wax esters (e.g., wax esters with chain length longer than C43), C18:1 is the dominant fatty acid moiety and that the C16:1-based wax esters are less than 10% of their C18:1-based counterparts. However, for meibum samples with wax esters of more than 40 different isobaric m/z values, the relative intensities of C16:1- and C18:1-based wax esters vary significantly. Depending on the m/z values of the wax esters, the quantities of some C16:1-based wax esters can be even greater than the isobaric C18:1-based wax esters (e.g., C40:2, C40:1, and C41:1), and their analysis should not be deemed to be “unnecessary.” Overall, as we indicated in our paper, the relative amounts of C18:1- and C16:1-based wax esters were consistent with a previous report in which they accounted for 57.39% and 11.66% of the total wax esters, respectively.3 In addition, the fragmentation patterns show that the structures of these isobaric species are those of wax esters and are very likely difficult to separate from their C18:1 counterparts with the resolution of HPLC separation that Dr. Butovich used. In fact, the extracted ion chromatograms of two wax esters in meibum as shown in a paper by Butovich et al.4 (Figs. 3D, 3F; the latter corresponds to the same wax ester species as indicated in Fig. 3 of our paper) display peaks broader than those of the synthetic C18:1-based wax ester standards, indicating the co-elution of more than one species of similar structure.It is clear that this is a subject area in which new information is rapidly appearing in the literature. The first reference2 that Dr. Butovich mentioned was available online on the publisher's website May 12, 2010, a month after our manuscript was submitted. As for the second reference regarding (O-acyl)-omega-hydroxy fatty acids [OAHFA], as early as May 3, 2009 at the ARVO Annual Meeting, we proposed the idea that polar lipids include the elemental compositions for these previously unidentified peaks (not using the specific term OAHFAs), 3 months and 18 days before the review paper by Butovich5 was published online (August 4, 2009, submission date unknown), whereas the other research paper mentioned4 was submitted May 18, 2009. Dr. Butovich, as well, did not cite our report in either paper. More important, the OAHFAs are very likely from in-source decay of the ω-type I-St diesters, similar to the apparent fatty acids observed from the dissociation of cholesteryl esters. The model proposed by Butovich5 requires further testing.In summary, we agree that the FFAs present in meibum, as measured using electron spray ionization mass spectrometry could be from in-source decay, and the amount may be an overestimate when contrasted to nonmanipulated meibum. However, when measured in this way, any group repeating this experiment would find a similar result. We disagree that the C16:1-based wax esters were overestimated." @default.
