Abstract
L-α-glyceryl phosphorylcholine, also referred to as choline ethanol phosphate and phosphocholine glycerophosphate, is a naturally occurring metabolite of water-soluble phospholipids in animals. This molecular property is important for informing the crystallization and purification of drugs. The solubility of L-α-glyceryl phosphorylcholine was determined in ten pure solvents and three mixed solvents under atmospheric pressure. The experimental results indicate that L-α-glyceryl phosphorylcholine is most soluble in methanol and least soluble in acetone. Additionally, the solubility of L-α-glyceryl phosphorylcholine was found to increase with temperature within the experimental range. Furthermore, the solubility of L-α-glyceryl phosphorylcholine in binary solvents is dependent on the proportion of positive solvent and temperature. The solubility of L-α-glyceryl phosphorylcholine increases with the proportion of positive solvent. XRD and DSC results indicate that the crystal form of L-α-glyceryl phosphorylcholine remains unchanged before and after dissolution in the reagent, and its melting point temperature is 413.15 K. Various models, including the modified Apelblat model, λh model, Jouyban-Acree model, SUN model, and CNIBS/R-K model, were used to fit the solubility data of L-α-glyceryl phosphorylcholine in different solvents. The study found that the modified Apelblat model and CNIBS/R-K model were the most appropriate for fitting the data. The KAT-LSER model was used to analyze the molecular interactions between solvents and solutes, revealing that the solvent step method with non-specific polarity/polarization interaction had the greatest impact on solubility.

Abstract
Serotonin (5-HT) is a vital modulatory neurotransmitter responsible for regulating most behaviors in the brain. An inefficient 5-HT synaptic function is often linked to various mental disorders. Primarily, membrane proteins controlling the expression and activity of 5-HT synthesis, storage, release, receptor activation, and inactivation are critical to 5-HT signaling in synaptic and extra-synaptic sites. Moreover, these signals represent information transmission across membranes. Although the lipid membrane environment is often viewed as fairly stable, emerging research suggests significant functional lipid-protein interactions with many synaptic 5-HT proteins. These protein-lipid interactions extend to almost all the primary lipid classes that form the plasma membrane. Collectively, these lipid classes and lipid-protein interactions affect 5-HT synaptic efficacy at the synapse. The highly dynamic lipid composition of synaptic membranes suggests that these lipids and their interactions with proteins may contribute to the plasticity of the 5-HT synapse. Therefore, this broader protein-lipid model of the 5-HT synapse necessitates a reconsideration of 5-HT's role in various associated mental disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormalities in functional connectivity (FC) in major depressive disorder (MDD) have been widely reported. Analysis of the relationship between FC and plasma lipid profiles would be meaningful in the exploration of pathophysiological mechanisms and helpful for the identification of biomarkers for MDD. METHODS Patients with MDD (n = 49) and healthy controls (HC, n = 87) were recruited. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data were collected for FC construction. The plasma lipid profiles were acquired using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis and clustered as co-expression modules. The differential FC and lipid modules between HCs and patients with MDD were identified, and then the association between FC and lipid co-expression modules was analyzed using correlation analysis. The modules associated molecular function was explored using metabolite set enrichment analysis (MSEA). RESULTS MDD-associated FC and lipid co-expression modules were identified. One module was associated with FC values between the right orbital part of the middle frontal gyrus and the opercular part of the left inferior frontal gyrus, which was enriched in lipid sets of diacylglycerols and fatty alcohols; another module was associated with FC values between the right middle frontal gyrus and the right anterior cingulate and paracingulate gyri, which was enriched in lipid sets of glycerophosphocholines and glycerophosphoethanolamines. CONCLUSION Our results indicated that abnormal FC in the prefrontal cortex is associated with multiple plasma lipid species, which may provide novel clues for exploring the pathophysiology of MDD.

Ketogenic diet changes microglial morphology and the hippocampal lipidomic profile differently in stress susceptible versus resistant male mice upon repeated social defeat. Brain Behav Immun 2023; 114:383-406. [PMID: 37689276 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2023.09.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Psychological stress confers an increased risk for several diseases including psychiatric conditions. The susceptibility to psychological stress is modulated by various factors, many of them being modifiable lifestyle choices. The ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as a dietary regime that offers positive outcomes on mood and health status. Psychological stress and elevated inflammation are common features of neuropsychiatric disorders such as certain types of major depressive disorder. KD has been attributed anti-inflammatory properties that could underlie its beneficial consequences on the brain and behavior. Microglia are the main drivers of inflammation in the central nervous system. They are known to respond to both dietary changes and psychological stress, notably by modifying their production of cytokines and relationships among the brain parenchyma. To assess the interactions between KD and the stress response, including effects on microglia, we examined adult male mice on control diet (CD) versus KD that underwent 10 days of repeated social defeat (RSD) or remained non-stressed (controls; CTRLs). Through a social interaction test, stressed mice were classified as susceptible (SUS) or resistant (RES) to RSD. The mouse population fed a KD tended to have a higher proportion of individuals classified as RES following RSD. Microglial morphology and ultrastructure were then analyzed in the ventral hippocampus CA1, a brain region known to present structural alterations as a response to psychological stress. Distinct changes in microglial soma and arborization linked to the KD, SUS and RES phenotypes were revealed. Ultrastructural analysis by electron microscopy showed a clear reduction of cellular stress markers in microglia from KD fed animals. Furthermore, ultrastructural analysis showed that microglial contacts with synaptic elements were reduced in the SUS compared to the RES and CTRL groups. Hippocampal lipidomic analyses lastly identified a distinct lipid profile in SUS animals compared to CTRLs. These key differences, combined with the distinct microglial responses to diet and stress, indicate that unique metabolic changes may underlie the stress susceptibility phenotypes. Altogether, our results reveal novel mechanisms by which a KD might improve the resistance to psychological stress.

Modulatory effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on depressive-like behaviors in rats with chronic sleep deprivation: potential involvement of melatonin receptor pathway and brain lipidome.

Abstract
Clinical evidence suggests that a bidirectional relationship is present between sleep loss and psychiatric disorders. Both melatonin receptor agonist ramelteon (RMT) and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) exhibit antidepressant effects, while their underlying molecular mechanisms might be different. Thus, the present study aims to investigate the add-on effects and possible mechanisms of how RMT and different n-3 PUFAs modulate the melatonin receptor pathway as well as brain lipidome to ameliorate the neuropsychiatric behaviors displayed in rats under chronic sleep deprivation. Thirty-one 6-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into five groups: control (C), sleep deprivation (S), sleep deprivation treated with RMT (SR), sleep deprivation treated with RMT and eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n-3, EPA) (SRE), and sleep deprivation treated with RMT and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6n-3, DHA) (SRD) groups. The results reveal that RMT plus EPA alleviated depressive-like behavior when the rats were subjected to the forced swimming test, whereas RMT plus DHA alleviated anxiety-like behavior when the rats were subjected to the elevated plus maze test. The results of a western blot analysis further revealed that compared with the rats in the S group, those in the SRE and SRD groups exhibited a significantly increased expression of MT2 in the prefrontal cortex, with greater benefits observed in the SRE group. In addition, decreased BDNF and TrkB expression levels were upregulated only in the SRE group. Lipidomic analysis further revealed possible involvement of aberrant lipid metabolism and neuropsychiatric behaviors. RMT plus EPA demonstrated promise as having the effects of reversing the levels of the potential biomarkers of depressive-like behaviors. RMT plus EPA or DHA could ameliorate depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors in sleep-deprived rats through the alteration of the lipidome and MT2 receptor pathway in the brain, whereas EPA and DHA exerted a differential effect.

Ginseng total saponins and Fuzi total alkaloids exert antidepressant-like effects in ovariectomized mice through BDNF-mTORC1, autophagy and peripheral metabolic pathways. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 107:154425. [PMID: 36137328 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Shenfu decoction (SFD) is a classic Chinese medicine prescription that has a strong cardiotonic effect. The combination of ginseng (the dried root of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) and Fuzi (processed product of sub-root of Aconitum carmichaeli Debx), the main constituents of SFD, has been reported to improve the pharmacological effect of each other. Moreover, research has shown that the main active components of SFD, ginseng total saponins (GTS) and Fuzi total alkaloids (FTA), have antidepressant activity. However, the effects of these ingredients on depressive-like behavior induced by ovariectomy, a model of menopausal depression, have not been studied. PURPOSE Our research aims to elucidate the antidepressant-like effects of GTS and FTA compatibility (GF) in ovariectomized mice and the potential mechanisms. METHODS To elucidate the antidepressant-like effects of GF in mice in ovariectomy condition, behavioral tests were performed after 7 days of intragastric administration of different doses of GF. Underlying molecular mechanisms of CREB-BDNF, BDNF-mTORC1 and autophagy signaling were detected by western blotting, serum metabolites were examined by UPLC-QE plus-MS and dendritic spine density was determined by Golgi-Cox staining. RESULTS GF remarkably decreased the immobility time in the forced swim test. GF also increased levels of pCREB/CREB, BDNF, Akt, mTORC1 and p62 in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, as well as decreased LC3-II/LC3-I in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of ovariectomized mice. Furthermore, 15 serum differential metabolites (9 of which are lipids and lipid molecules) were identified by metabonomics. Next, the antidepressant-like effects of GF was blocked by rapamycin, an inhibitor of mTORC1. The antidepressant actions of GF on levels of pCREB, mTORC1, LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ and p62 in the prefrontal cortex and the levels of BDNF, Akt, mTORC1 and p62 in the hippocampus were inhibited by rapamycin, and the dendritic spines density was also regulated. CONCLUSION GF has antidepressant effects in ovariectomized mice, and like other antidepressants, these effects involve activation of BDNF-mTORC1, autophagy regulation and consequent effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity. Moreover, metabolomic results suggest that GF also has effects on peripheral lipid profiles that may provide potential biomarkers for these antidepressant-like effects. These results indicate that GF is worthy of further exploration as a promising pharmaceutical treatment for depression. This study provides a new direction for the development of new indications for traditional Chinese medicine compounds.

Abstract
Molecular autism research is evolving toward a biopsychosocial framework that is more informed by autistic experiences. In this context, research aims are moving away from correcting external autistic behaviors and toward alleviating internal distress. Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASCs) are associated with high rates of depression, suicidality and other comorbid psychopathologies, but this relationship is poorly understood. Here, we integrate emerging characterizations of internal autistic experiences within a molecular framework to yield insight into the prevalence of psychopathology in ASC. We demonstrate that descriptions of social camouflaging and autistic burnout resonate closely with the accepted definitions for early life stress (ELS) and chronic adolescent stress (CAS). We propose that social camouflaging could be considered a distinct form of CAS that contributes to allostatic overload, culminating in a pathophysiological state that is experienced as autistic burnout. Autistic burnout is thought to contribute to psychopathology via psychological and physiological mechanisms, but these remain largely unexplored by molecular researchers. Building on converging fields in molecular neuroscience, we discuss the substantial evidence implicating mitochondrial dysfunction in ASC to propose a novel role for mitochondrial allostatic load in the relationship between autism and psychopathology. An interplay between mitochondrial, neuroimmune and neuroendocrine signaling is increasingly implicated in stress-related psychopathologies, and these molecular players are also associated with neurodevelopmental, neurophysiological and neurochemical aspects of ASC. Together, this suggests an increased exposure and underlying molecular susceptibility to ELS that increases the risk of psychopathology in ASC. This article describes an integrative framework shaped by autistic experiences that highlights novel avenues for molecular research into mechanisms that directly affect the quality of life and wellbeing of autistic individuals. Moreover, this framework emphasizes the need for increased access to diagnoses, accommodations, and resources to improve mental health outcomes in autism.

Cong L, Wan Z, Li P, Liu D, He J, An Z, Liu L. Metabolic, genetic, and pharmacokinetic parameters for the prediction of olanzapine efficacy. Eur J Pharm Sci 2022; 177:106277. [PMID: 35981664 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2022.106277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2021] [Revised: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 08/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Clinical use of the a olanzapine has significantly different individual-to-individual outcomes. Accordingly, this study aimed to develop a means of predicting response to olanzapine using a combined approach based on pharmacokinetics, pharmacometabonomics, and genetic polymorphism. The olanzapine pharmacokinetics of 19 healthy volunteers treated with orally disintegrating tablets were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Metabolic profiling and phenotyping were performed on the blood samples that remained after pharmacokinetic analysis using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry. Uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), γ-aminobutyric acid transaminase (GABA-T), and succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) were identified as key genes. The single nucleotide polymorphism genotypes most related to drug metabolism were investigated by polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. Forty-one metabolites (p < 0.05) are increased or decreased after treatment with olanzapine. Tryptophan metabolism, norepinephrine metabolism, and γ-aminobutyric acid metabolism were identified as being related to the effects of olanzapine. Subjects carrying rs1641031 AC and CC exhibited a 59.2% increase in the mean peak concentration (Cmax) value and a 25.33% decrease in the mean oral clearance rate (CL/F) value, compared to that in subjects with the GABA-T rs1641031 AA genotype (p < 0.05). Moreover, polymorphism of the GABA-T gene has an impact on the metabolism of 5-hydroxytryptamine. Lysophosphatidylethanolamine (0:0/18:3), lysophosphatidylethanolamine (0:0/22:5), and octadecatrienoic acid distinguish subjects with high and low olanzapine drug oral clearance and are thus identified as biomarkers for predicting its efficacy.

Abstract
Several studies have highlighted the roles played by the gut microbiome in central nervous system diseases. Clinical symptoms and neuropathology have suggested that Parkinson’s disease may originate in the gut, which is home to approximately 100 trillion microbes. Alterations in the gastrointestinal microbiota populations may promote the development and progression of Parkinson’s disease. Here, we reviewed existing studies that have explored the role of intestinal dysbiosis in Parkinson’s disease, focusing on the roles of microbiota, their metabolites, and components in inflammation, barrier failure, microglial activation, and α-synuclein pathology. We conclude that there are intestinal dysbiosis in Parkinson’s disease. Intestinal dysbiosis is likely involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease through mechanisms that include barrier destruction, inflammation and oxidative stress, decreased dopamine production, and molecular mimicry. Additional studies remain necessary to explore and verify the mechanisms through which dysbiosis may cause or promote Parkinson’s disease. Preclinical studies have shown that gastrointestinal microbial therapy may represent an effective and novel treatment for Parkinson’s disease; however, more studies, especially clinical studies, are necessary to explore the curative effects of microbial therapy in Parkinson’s disease.

Abstract
Besides extracellular deposition of amyloid beta and formation of phosphorylated tau in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), the pathogenesis of AD is also thought to involve mitochondrial dysfunctions and altered neurotransmission systems. However, none of these components can describe the diverse cognitive, behavioural, and psychiatric symptoms of AD without the pathologies interacting with one another. The purpose of this review is to understand the relationships between mitochondrial and neurotransmission dysfunctions in terms of (1) how mitochondrial alterations affect cholinergic and monoaminergic systems via disruption of energy metabolism, oxidative stress, and apoptosis; and (2) how different neurotransmission systems drive mitochondrial dysfunction via increasing amyloid beta internalisation, oxidative stress, disruption of mitochondrial permeabilisation, and mitochondrial trafficking. All these interactions are separately discussed in terms of neurotransmission systems. The association of mitochondrial dysfunctions with alterations in dopamine, norepinephrine, and histamine is the prospective goal in this research field. By unfolding the complex interactions surrounding mitochondrial dysfunction in AD, we can better develop potential treatments to delay, prevent, or cure this devastating disease.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons from the substantia nigra (SN) that project to the dorsal striatum (caudate-putamen). To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying PD, we performed combined lipid profiling and RNA sequencing of SN and putamen samples from PD patients and age-matched controls. SN lipid analysis pointed to a neuroinflammatory component and included elevated levels of the endosomal lipid Bis (Monoacylglycero)Phosphate 42:8, while two of the three depleted putamen lipids were saturated sphingomyelin species. Remarkably, we observed gender-related differences in the SN and putamen lipid profiles. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the top-enriched pathways among the 354 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the SN were “protein folding” and “neurotransmitter transport”, and among the 261 DEGs from putamen “synapse organization”. Furthermore, we identified pathways, e.g., “glutamate signaling”, and genes, encoding, e.g., an angiotensin receptor subtype or a proprotein convertase, that have not been previously linked to PD. The identification of 33 genes that were common among the SN and putamen DEGs, which included the α-synuclein paralog β-synuclein, may contribute to the understanding of general PD mechanisms. Thus, our proof-of-concept data highlights new genes, pathways and lipids that have not been explored before in the context of PD.

Abstract
Omic sciences coupled with novel computational approaches such as machine intelligence offer completely new approaches to major depressive disorder (MDD) research. The complexity of MDD's pathophysiology is being integrated into studies examining MDD's biology within the omic fields. Lipidomics, as a late-comer among other omic fields, is increasingly being recognized in psychiatric research because it has allowed the investigation of global lipid perturbations in patients suffering from MDD and indicated a crucial role of specific patterns of lipid alterations in the development and progression of MDD. Combinatorial lipid-markers with high classification power are being developed in order to assist MDD diagnosis, while rodent models of depression reveal lipidome changes and thereby unveil novel treatment targets for depression. In this systematic review, we provide an overview of current breakthroughs and future trends in the field of lipidomics in MDD research and thereby paving the way for precision medicine in MDD.

Tryptophan-kynurenine and lipid related metabolites as blood biomarkers for first-episode drug-naïve patients with major depressive disorder: An exploratory pilot case-control study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early intervention in depression has been critical to prevent its negative impact including suicide. Recent blood biomarker studies for major depressive disorder (MDD) have suggested that tryptophan-kynurenine and lipid related metabolites are involved in the pathophysiology of MDD. However, there have been limited studies investigating these blood biomarkers in first-episode drug-naïve MDD, which are particularly important for early intervention in depression. METHODS As an exploratory pilot case-control study, we examined the above blood biomarkers, and analyzed how these biomarkers are associated with clinical variables in first-episode drug-naïve MDD patients, based on metabolome/lipidome analysis. RESULTS Plasma tryptophan and kynurenine levels were significantly lower in MDD group (N = 15) compared to healthy controls (HC) group (N = 19), and plasma tryptophan was the significant biomarker to identify MDD group (area under the curve = 0.740). Lower serum high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) was the predictive biomarker for severity of depression in MDD group (R2 = 0.444). Interestingly, depressive symptoms were variously correlated with plasma tryptophan-kynurenine and lipid related metabolites. Moreover, plasma tryptophan-kynurenine metabolites and cholesteryl esters (CEs) were significantly correlated in MDD group, but not in HC group. LIMITATIONS This study had small sample size, and we did not use the multiple test correction. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to suggest that not only tryptophan-kynurenine metabolites but also HDL-C and CEs are important blood biomarkers for first-episode drug-naïve MDD patients. The present study sheds new light on early intervention in clinical practice in depression, and further clinical studies especially large-scale prospective studies are warranted.

Abstract
Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter that signals through a wide array of receptors (5-HT1–7) many of which are also involved in immune processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial players in immune defense by bridging innate and adaptive immune responses via their vast repertoire of pattern recognition receptors and antigen-presenting capability. Although serotonin is known to influence immunity at many levels, cell type-specific expression and function of its receptors remains poorly understood. Here we aimed to study 5-HT1–7 expression and function in CD1a− and CD1a+ human monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs). We found that the 5-HT2B receptor-subtype is solely expressed by the inflammatory CD1a+ moDC subset. Specific 5-HT2B activation potently inhibited TLR2, TLR3, and TLR7/8-induced proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IP-10, IL-12) but not type I interferon-β responses. 5-HT2B agonism also interfered with the polarization of CD1a+ moDC-primed CD4+ T cells towards inflammatory Th1 and Th17 effector lymphocytes. Here we report the subset-specific expression and immunomodulatory function of 5-HT2B in human moDCs. Our results expand the biological role of 5-HT2B which may act not only as a neurotransmitter receptor, but also as an important modulator of both innate and adaptive immune responses.

Abstract
Autophagy is of great significance in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Aberrant autophagy has been reported to contribute to the disease aetiology of metabolic syndrome, especially several key lysosomal storage disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms and the correlation between autophagy and lipid metabolism remains unclear. This study was designed and aimed to reveal the alteration of lipid metabolism in response to the autophagy induced by nutrient stress to give new insights into the molecular mechanisms between autophagy and lipid metabolism. An online normal-phase/reversed-phase two-dimensional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (NP/RP 2D LC-MS) method was developed to perform the lipidomics analysis of Atg7-/- mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (MEFs) and wild-type MEFs under nutrient stress. 48 and 35 lipid species in wild-type and Atg7-/- MEFs respectively finally meet the screening criteria with p-value less than 0.05 and fold change more than 1.5 in response to nutrient stress. Their alterations indicated that autophagy participated lipid metabolism to generate energy and form autophagosomes with significantly increased free fatty acids and glycerophospholipids, which protected wild-type MEFs from serious damages and delayed cell death. However, in Atg7-/- MEFs, due to the inhibition of autophagy, lipids were continuously consumed and cells suffered from damages even death. These results illustrated the close relationship between autophagy and lipid metabolism comprehensively and revealed diverse lipid targets for the investigation of autophagy.

Abstract
To explore underlying molecular mechanisms and identify novel lipid biomarkers promising for colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis, a continuous-flow two dimensional liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (2D LC-QToF/MS) method was employed to comprehensively measure lipid species in human plasma of CRC patients and healthy controls. With a total of 427 annotated lipid species, we identified 64 lipid species with corrected p value less than 0.05 and fold change more than 1.5. These significantly altered lipid species were mainly involved in glycerolipids and glycerophospholipids metabolism and sphingolipids metabolism. After the diagnosis ability evaluation based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, phosphatidylglycerol (34:0), sphingomyelin (42:2), ceramide (44:5), lysophosphatidylcholine (18:3), lysophosphatidylcholine (18:2), phosphatidylethanolamine (O-36:3), phosphatidylethanolamine (O-38:3) and sphingomyelin (38:8) were finally proposed as the potential biomarkers with the area under the curve (AUC) more than 0.900. These results suggest that this 2D LC-QToF/MS-based lipidomics profiling has great potential as a noninvasive diagnostic method in detecting CRC and hopefully provide new clues to understand its underlying mechanism.

Abstract
Lipidomics is a lipid-targeted metabolomics approach aiming at comprehensive analysis of lipids in biological systems. Recent technological progresses in mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and chromatography have significantly enhanced the developments and applications of metabolic profiling of lipids in more complex biological samples. As many diseases reveal a notable change in lipid profiles compared with that of healthy people, lipidomics have also been broadly introduced to scientific research on diseases. Exploration of lipid biochemistry by lipidomics approach will not only provide insights into specific roles of lipid molecular species in health and disease, but it will also support the identification of potential biomarkers for establishing preventive or therapeutic approaches for human health. This chapter aims to illustrate how lipidomics can contribute for understanding the biological mechanisms inherent to schizophrenia and why lipids are relevant biomarkers of schizophrenia. The application of lipidomics in clinical studies has the potential to provide new insights into lipid profiling and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying schizophrenia. The future perspectives of lipidomics in mental disorders are also discussed herein.

Oxidative Stress Implications in the Affective Disorders: Main Biomarkers, Animal Models Relevance, Genetic Perspectives, and Antioxidant Approaches. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2016; 2016:3975101. [PMID: 27563374 PMCID: PMC4983669 DOI: 10.1155/2016/3975101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2016] [Revised: 06/30/2016] [Accepted: 07/05/2016] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
The correlation between the affective disorders and the almost ubiquitous pathological oxidative stress can be described in a multifactorial way, as an important mechanism of central nervous system impairment. Whether the obvious changes which occur in oxidative balance of the affective disorders are a part of the constitutive mechanism or a collateral effect yet remains as an interesting question. However it is now clear that oxidative stress is a component of these disorders, being characterized by different aspects in a disease-dependent manner. Still, there are a lot of controversies regarding the relevance of the oxidative stress status in most of the affective disorders and despite the fact that most of the studies are showing that the affective disorders development can be correlated to increased oxidative levels, there are various studies stating that oxidative stress is not linked with the mood changing tendencies. Thus, in this minireview we decided to describe the way in which oxidative stress is involved in the affective disorders development, by focusing on the main oxidative stress markers that could be used mechanistically and therapeutically in these deficiencies, the genetic perspectives, some antioxidant approaches, and the relevance of some animal models studies in this context.
