Abstract
BACKGROUND Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the development of pigmented spots, gastrointestinal polyps and increased susceptibility to cancers. Currently, most studies have investigated intestinal microbiota through fecal microbiota, and there are few reports about mucosa-associated microbiota. It remains valuable to search for the key intestinal microbiota or abnormal metabolic pathways linked to PJS. AIM This study aimed to assess the structure and composition of mucosa-associated microbiota in patients with PJS and to explore the potential influence of intestinal microbiota disorders and metabolite changes on PJS. METHODS The bacterial composition was analyzed in 13 PJS patients and 12 controls using 16S rRNA gene sequencing (Illumina MiSeq) for bacteria. Differential analyses of the intestinal microbiota were performed from the phylum to species level. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC‒MS) was used to detect the differentially abundant metabolites of PJS patients and controls to identify different metabolites and metabolic biomarkers of small intestinal mucosa samples. RESULTS High-throughput sequencing confirmed the special characteristics and biodiversity of the mucosa microflora in patients with PJS. They had lower bacterial biodiversity than controls. The abundance of intestinal mucosal microflora was significantly lower than that of fecal microflora. In addition, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, nucleotide metabolism and other pathways were significantly different from those of controls, which were associated with the development of the enteric nervous system, intestinal inflammation and development of tumors. CONCLUSION This is the first report on the mucosa-associated microbiota and metabolite profile of subjects with PJS, which may be meaningful to provide a structural basis for further research on intestinal microecology in PJS.

Abstract
Mesalamine, known as 5-aminosalicylic acid, is a medication used primarily in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. 5-Aminosalicylic acid can be measured using various benchtop laboratory techniques which involve liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy, but these are sophisticated and large, meaning that they cannot be used on-site because transportation of the samples, chemicals, and physical and biological reactions can potentially occur, which can affect the sample's composition and potentially result in inaccurate results. An alternative approach is the use of electrochemical based sensing platforms which has the advantages of portability, cost-efficiency, facile miniaturization, and rapid analysis while nonetheless providing sensitivity and selectivity. We provide an overview of the use of the electroanalytical techniques for the sensing of 5-aminosalicylic acid and compare them to other laboratory-based measurements. The applications, challenges faced, and future opportunities for electroanalytical based sensing platforms are presented in this review.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease is a relapsing inflammatory disease seriously endanger human health. Wedelolactone (WED) is a major active ingredient from Eclipta prostrata (L.) L. and has shown anti-inflammatory effects. However, the mechanism of WED in treating inflammatory colitis remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the mechanisms of WED in treating ulcerative colitis through lipidomic study. Sixty male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to DSS to induce acute colitis. Disease progression was judged by the disease activity index (DAI) and pathological changes of colon tissue. An ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) method was performed for colon and plasma lipidomics analyses. Differential metabolites in the three groups were distinguished by univariate and multivariate analysis. WED exerted anti-inflammatory effects representing by body weight and DAI score. Three metabolites were identified in plasma and 20 in colon. According to pathway analysis, the effects of WED on colitis were associated with seven pathways. The glycerophospholipid metabolism and ether lipid metabolism were the primary pathways. The findings provide important insight of the mechanism of WED in treating DSS induced colitis through lipidomic perspective.

Abstract
Resolving inflammation and promoting intestinal tissue regeneration are critical for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment. Bioactive glass (BG) is a clinically approved bone graft material and has been shown to modulate inflammatory response, but it is unknown whether BG can be applied to treat IBD. Here, it is reported that BG attenuates pro-inflammatory response of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages and hence reduces inflammatory damage to intestinal organoids in vitro. In addition, zein/sodium alginate-based core-shell microspheres (Zein/SA/BG) are developed for oral delivery of BG, which helps prevent premature dissolution of BG in the stomach. The results show that Zein/SA/BG protects BG from a gastric-simulated environment while dissolved in an intestinal-simulated environment. When administered to acute and chronic colitis mice model, Zein/SA/BG significantly reduces intestinal inflammation, promotes epithelial tissue regeneration, and partially restores microbiota homeostasis. These findings are the first to reveal the therapeutic efficacy of BG against IBD, which may provide a new therapeutic approach at low cost for effective IBD treatment.

Abstract
Metabolic abnormalities lead to the dysfunction of metabolic pathways and metabolite accumulation or deficiency which is well-recognized hallmarks of diseases. Metabolite signatures that have close proximity to subject's phenotypic informative dimension, are useful for predicting diagnosis and prognosis of diseases as well as monitoring treatments. The lack of early biomarkers could lead to poor diagnosis and serious outcomes. Therefore, noninvasive diagnosis and monitoring methods with high specificity and selectivity are desperately needed. Small molecule metabolites-based metabolomics has become a specialized tool for metabolic biomarker and pathway analysis, for revealing possible mechanisms of human various diseases and deciphering therapeutic potentials. It could help identify functional biomarkers related to phenotypic variation and delineate biochemical pathways changes as early indicators of pathological dysfunction and damage prior to disease development. Recently, scientists have established a large number of metabolic profiles to reveal the underlying mechanisms and metabolic networks for therapeutic target exploration in biomedicine. This review summarized the metabolic analysis on the potential value of small-molecule candidate metabolites as biomarkers with clinical events, which may lead to better diagnosis, prognosis, drug screening and treatment. We also discuss challenges that need to be addressed to fuel the next wave of breakthroughs.

Abstract
Protopanaxadiol (PPD) has potential immunomodulatory effects, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we explored the potential roles of gut microbiota in the immunity regulation mechanisms of PPD using a cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced immunosuppression mouse model. Our results showed that a medium dose of PPD (PPD-M, 50 mg/kg) effectively ameliorated the immunosuppression induced by CTX treatment by promoting bone marrow hematopoiesis, increasing the number of splenic T lymphocytes and regulating the secretion of serum immunoglobulins and cytokines. Meanwhile, PPD-M protected against CTX-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis by increasing the relative abundance of Lactobacillus, Oscillospirales, Turicibacter, Coldextribacter, Lachnospiraceae, Dubosiella, and Alloprevotella and reducing the relative abundance of Escherichia-Shigella. Importantly, PPD-M lost the ability to promote bone marrow hematopoiesis and enhance immunity when the gut microbiota was depleted by broad-spectrum antibiotics. Moreover, PPD-M promoted the production of microbiota-derived immune-enhancing metabolites including cucurbitacin C, l-gulonolactone, ceramide, DG, prostaglandin E2 ethanolamide, palmitoyl glucuronide, 9R,10S-epoxy-stearic acid, and 9'-carboxy-gamma-chromanol. KEGG topology analysis showed that the PPD-M treatment significantly enriched the sphingolipid metabolic pathway with ceramide as a main metabolite. Our findings reveal that PPD enhances immunity by manipulating gut microbiota and has the potential to be used as an immunomodulator in cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Lipid encapsulated messenger RNA (LNP mRNA) has garnered a significant amount of interest from the pharmaceutical industry and general public alike. This attention has been catalyzed by the clinical success of LNP mRNA for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination as well as future promises that might be fulfilled by the biotechnology pipeline, such as the in vivo delivery of a CRISPR/Cas9 complex that can edit patient cells to reduce levels of low-density lipoprotein. LNP mRNAs are comprised of various chemically diverse molecules brought together in a sophisticated intermolecular complex. This can make it challenging to achieve thorough analytical characterization. Nevertheless, liquid chromatography is becoming an increasingly relied upon technique for LNP mRNA analyses. Although there have been significant advances in all types of LNP mRNA analyses, this review focuses on recent developments and the possibilities of applying anion exchange (AEX) and ion pairing reversed phase (IP-RP) liquid chromatography for intact mRNAs as well as techniques for oligo mapping analysis, 5' endcap testing and lipid compositional assays.

Abstract
Lipid homeostasis is considered to be related to intestinal metabolic balance, while its role in the pathogenesis and treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) remains largely unexplored. The present study aimed to identify the target lipids related to the occurrence, development and treatment of UC by comparing the lipidomics of UC patients, mice and colonic organoids with the corresponding healthy controls. Here, multi-dimensional lipidomics based on LC-QTOF/MS, LC-MS/MS and iMScope systems were constructed and used to decipher the alteration of lipidomic profiles. The results indicated that UC patients and mice were often accompanied by dysregulation of lipid homeostasis, in which triglycerides and phosphatidylcholines were significantly reduced. Notably, phosphatidylcholine 34:1 (PC34:1) was characterized by high abundance and closely correlation with UC disease. Our results also revealed that down-regulation of PC synthase PCYT1α and Pemt caused by UC modeling was the main factor leading to the reduction of PC34:1, and exogenous PC34:1 could greatly enhance the fumarate level via inhibiting the transformation of glutamate to N-acetylglutamate, thus exerting an anti-UC effect. Collectively, our study not only supplies common technologies and strategies for exploring lipid metabolism in mammals, but also provides opportunities for the discovery of therapeutic agents and biomarkers of UC.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is characterized by the abnormal deposition of the extracellular matrix with a severe inflammatory response and/or metabolic disorder. Asiatic acid (AA), a natural compound derived from Centella asiatica, exhibited potent anti-fibrosis effects. This investigation first confirmed the anti-fibrosis effects of AA in TGF-β-LX-2 cells and CCl4-induced liver fibrosis mice, and then sought to elucidate a novel mechanism of action by integrating network pharmacology and lipidomics. Network pharmacology was used to find potential targets of AA, while lipidomics was used to identify differential metabolites between fibrosis and recovered cohorts. AA could suppress hepatic stellate cell activation in vitro and improve liver fibrosis in vivo. Network pharmacology unveiled the genes involved in pathways in cancer, peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors signaling pathway, and arachidonic acid metabolism pathway. Furthermore, five key genes were found in the both human and mouse databases, indicating that arachidonic acid metabolism was important. Changes in lyso-phosphocholine (22:5), prostaglandin F2α, and other related lipid metabolites also suggested the involvement of arachidonic acid metabolism the anti-fibrotic effect. In summary, our integrated strategies demonstrated that AA targeted multiple targets and impeded the progression of liver fibrosis by ameliorating arachidonic acid metabolism.

[PMID: 35601674 PMCID: PMC9114650 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s352467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2021] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that starts with mucosal inflammation of the rectum and extends proximally in the colon in a continuous manner over a variable distance. Although it is more common in North America and Western Europe, its incidence is also increasing in Asia. Despite the introduction of several different classes of medications, the treatment options for UC may be insufficiently effective and burdened with significant side effects. In the present study, the therapeutic effects of Gancao Xiexin decoction (GCXX) were investigated on mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis with exploration of the underlying mechanisms. Methods Colitis was induced in C57BL/6 mice by administering 3% DSS in drinking water for 7 days. GCXX and (or) the standard of care anti-inflammatory drug, mesalazine (5-aminosalicylic acid) were then administered for 7 days. The gut microbiota was characterized by 16S rDNA high-throughput gene sequencing and gut metabolites were detected by untargeted metabolomics. Germ-free mice were subsequently used to determine whether GCXX ameliorated UC principally through modulation of the gut microbiota. Results GCXX treatment was demonstrated to significantly reduce disease activity index (DAI) scores, prevent colonic shortening, ameliorate colonic tissue damage and reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, analysis of the gut microbiota showed that GCXX-treated mice had higher relative quantity of Dubosiella (P<0.05) and lower relative quantity of Escherichia-Shigella (P<0.05). Metabolomics analysis indicated that GCXX could reduce the level of linoleic acid (P<0.05) and regulate its metabolism pathway. Moreover, in germ-free mice, GCXX failed to increase body weight, reduce DAI scores, or alleviate either colonic shortening or colonic damage. Conclusion The present study demonstrated that GCXX ameliorated DSS-induced colitis principally through modulating the gut microbiota and metabolites. This information should be integrated into the overall mechanisms of GCXX treatment of UC.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to identify potential metabolic biomarkers that can improve the diagnostic accuracy of sepsis. Sixty-six patients including 30 septic and 36 nonsepsis patients from an intensive care unit were recruited. The global plasma and urine metabolomic profiles were determined by ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled with a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based methodology. The risk factors, including both traditional physiological indicators and metabolic biomarkers, were investigated by binary logistic regression analysis and used to build a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression model to evaluate the ability of diagnosis. Fifty-five metabolites in plasma and 11 metabolites in urine were identified through orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Among them, ten (PE (20:4(5Z, 8Z, 11Z, 14Z)/P-18:0), harderoporphyrinogen, chloropanaxydiol, (Z)-2-octenal, N1,N8-diacetylspermidine, 1-nitroheptane, venoterpine, α-CEHC, LysoPE (20:0/0:0), corticrocin) metabolites were identified as risk factors. The Lasso regression model incorporating these ten metabolic biomarkers and five traditional physiological indicators displayed better differentiation than the traditional model, represented by the elevated area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) from 96.80 to 100.0%. Furthermore, patients with septic shock presented a significantly lower level of PE-Cer (d16:1(4E)/19:0). This study suggests that metabolomic profiling could be an effective tool for sepsis diagnosis.

Abstract
Lipids play an important role in the energy storage, cellular signaling, and pathophysiology of diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, infections, and diabetes. Due to high importance of diverse lipid classes in human health and disease, manipulating lipid abundance and composition is an important target for metabolic engineering. The extreme structural diversity of lipids in real biological samples is challenging for analytical techniques due to large difference in physicochemical properties of individual lipid species. This chapter describes lipidomic analysis of large sample sets requiring reliable and robust methodology. Rapid and robust methods facilitate the support of longitudinal studies allowing the transfer of methodology between laboratories. We describe a high-throughput reversed-phase LC-MS methodology using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC®) with charged surface hybrid technology and accurate mass detection for high-throughput non-targeted lipidomics. The methodology showed excellent specificity, robustness, and reproducibility for over 100 LC-MS injections.

Abstract
Bioactive peptides exhibit key roles in a wide variety of complex processes, such as regulation of body weight, learning, aging, and innate immune response. Next to the classical bioactive peptides, emerging from larger precursor proteins by specific proteolytic processing, a new class of peptides originating from small open reading frames (sORFs) have been recognized as important biological regulators. But their intrinsic properties, specific expression pattern and location on presumed non-coding regions have hindered the full characterization of the repertoire of bioactive peptides, despite their predominant role in various pathways. Although the development of peptidomics has offered the opportunity to study these peptides in vivo, it remains challenging to identify the full peptidome as the lack of cleavage enzyme specification and large search space complicates conventional database search approaches. In this study, we introduce a proteogenomics methodology using a new type of mass spectrometry instrument and the implementation of machine learning tools toward improved identification of potential bioactive peptides in the mouse brain. The application of trapped ion mobility spectrometry (tims) coupled to a time-of-flight mass analyzer (TOF) offers improved sensitivity, an enhanced peptide coverage, reduction in chemical noise and the reduced occurrence of chimeric spectra. Subsequent machine learning tools MS2PIP, predicting fragment ion intensities and DeepLC, predicting retention times, improve the database searching based on a large and comprehensive custom database containing both sORFs and alternative ORFs. Finally, the identification of peptides is further enhanced by applying the post-processing semi-supervised learning tool Percolator. Applying this workflow, the first peptidomics workflow combined with spectral intensity and retention time predictions, we identified a total of 167 predicted sORF-encoded peptides, of which 48 originating from presumed non-coding locations, next to 401 peptides from known neuropeptide precursors, linked to 66 annotated bioactive neuropeptides from within 22 different families. Additional PEAKS analysis expanded the pool of SEPs on presumed non-coding locations to 84, while an additional 204 peptides completed the list of peptides from neuropeptide precursors. Altogether, this study provides insights into a new robust pipeline that fuses technological advancements from different fields ensuring an improved coverage of the neuropeptidome in the mouse brain.

Abstract
Although previous studies have shown that certain factors interfere with the sensitivity of propofol, the mechanisms for interindividual variability in response to propofol remain unclear. This study aimed to screen the metabolites to predict patients' sensitivity to propofol and to identify metabolic pathways to explore possible mechanisms associated with propofol resistance. Sera from 40 female patients undergoing elective hysteroscopic surgery in a prospective cohort propofol study were obtained before the administration of propofol. The patients' responsiveness to propofol was differentiated based on propofol effect-site concentration. Serum samples from two sets, a discovery set (n = 24) and an independent validation set (n = 16), were analyzed using ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry based untargeted metabolomics. In the discovery set, 494 differential metabolites were screened out, and then 391 potential candidate biomarkers with the area under receiver operating characteristic curve >0.80 were selected. Pathway analysis showed that the pathway of glycerophospholipid metabolism was the most influential pathway. In the independent validation set, six potential biomarkers enabled the discrimination of poor responders from good and intermediate responders, which might be applied to predict propofol sensitivity. The mass spectrometry data are available via MetaboLights (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/login) with the identifier MTBLS2311.

Abstract
Buddleja lindleyana Fort., a traditional Chinese medicine, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antidementia, neuroprotective, antibacterial, and antioxidant effects. Its flowers, leaves, and roots have been used as traditional Chinese medicines. A simple and rapid high-performance liquid chromatography method coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was applied in the multicomponent determination of Buddleja lindleyana Fort., and the discrepancies in the contents from ten different habitats were analyzed. The present study simultaneously determined the concentrations of seven chemical compounds of Buddleja lindleyana Fort. extract in rat plasma via HPLC-MS/MS, which was applied in the pharmacokinetic (PK) study of Buddleja lindleyana Fort. A C18 column was used for chromatographic separation, and ion acquisition was achieved by multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) in negative ionization mode. The optimized mass transition ion-pairs (m/z) for quantization were 591.5/282.8 for linarin, 609.4/300.2 for rutin, 284.9/133.0 for luteolin, 300.6/151.0 for quercetin, 268.8/116.9 for apigenin, 283.0/267.9 for acacetin, 623.3/160.7 for acteoside, and 252.2/155.8 for sulfamethoxazole (IS). A double peak appeared in the drug–time curve of apigenin, which was associated with entero-hepatic recirculation. There were discrepancies in the contents of seven chemical compounds from 10 batches of Buddleja lindleyana Fort., which were associated with the growth environments. Herein, the pharmacokinetic parameters of seven analytes in Buddleja lindleyana Fort. extract are summarized. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of linarin, rutin, luteolin, quercetin, apigenin, acacetin and acteoside were 894.12 ± 9.34 ng mL−1, 130.76 ± 18.33 ng mL−1, 77.37 ± 25.72 ng mL−1, 20.15 ± 24.85 ng mL−1, 146.42 ± 14.88 ng mL−1, 31.92 ± 17.58 ng mL−1, and 649.78 ± 16.42 ng mL−1, respectively. The time to reach Cmax for linarin, rutin, luteolin, quercetin, apigenin, acacetin, and acteoside were 10, 5, 5, 5, 180, 10 and 10 min, respectively. This is the first report on the simultaneous determination of seven active components for 10 different growing environments and the pharmacokinetic studies of seven active components in rat plasma after the oral administration of Buddleja lindleyana Fort. extract. This study lays the foundation for a better understanding of the absorption mechanism of Buddleja lindleyana Fort., and the evaluation of its clinical application.

Abstract
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is closely connected to aberrant lipid metabolism. However, how early AD-like pathology synchronously influences brain and plasma lipidome in AD mice remains unclear. The study of dynamic change of lipidome in early-stage AD mice could be of great interest for the discovery of lipid biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring of early-stage AD. For the purpose, an untargeted lipidomic strategy was developed for the characterization of lipids (≤ 1,200 Da) perturbation occurring in plasma and brain in early-stage AD mice (2, 3 and 7 months) by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Significant changes were detected in the levels of several lipid species including lysophospholipids, phosphatidylcholines (PCs), phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) and Ceramides (Cers), as well as other related lipid compounds such as fatty acids (FAs), diacylglycerols (DGs) and triacylglycerols (TGs) in AD mice. In this sense, disorders of lipid metabolism appear to involve in multiple factors including overactivation of phospholipases and diacylglycerol lipases, decreased anabolism of lysophospholipids in plasma and PEs in plasma and brain, and imbalances in the levels of PCs, FAs and glycerides at different ages. We revealed the changing panels of potential lipid biomarkers with the development of early AD. The study raises the possibility of developing lipid biomarkers for diagnosis of early-stage AD.
