Targeted and untargeted serum NMR metabolomics to reveal initial kidney disease in diabetes mellitus. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 247:116240. [PMID: 38820837 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2024.116240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Serum 1H NMR metabolomics has been used as a diagnostic tool for screening type 2 diabetes (T2D) with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as comorbidity. This work aimed to evaluate 1H NMR data to detect the initial kidney damage and CKD in T2D subjects, through multivariate statistical analysis. Clinical data and biochemical parameters were obtained for classifying five experimental groups using KDIGO guidelines: Control (healthy subjects), T2D, T2D-CKD-mild, T2D-CKD-moderate, and T2D-CKD-severe. Serum 1H NMR spectra were recorded to follow two strategies: one based on metabolite-to-creatinine (Met/Cr) ratios as targeted metabolomics, and the second one based on untargeted metabolomics from the 1H NMR profile. A prospective biomarkers panel of the early stage of T2D-CKD based in metabolite-to-creatinine ratio (ornithine/Cr, serine/Cr, mannose/Cr, acetate/Cr, acetoacetate/Cr, formate/Cr, and glutamate/Cr) was proposed. Later, a statistical model based on non-targeted metabolomics was used to predict initial CKD, and its metabolic pathway analysis allowed identifying the most affected pathways: phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis; valine, leucine, and isoleucine degradation; glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; and histidine metabolism. Nonetheless, further studies with a larger cohort are advised to precise ranges in metabolite-to-creatinine ratios and evaluate the prediction pertinency to detect initial CKD in T2D patients in both statistical models proposed.

Abstract
Background: Clonorchiasis remains a serious public health problem. However, the molecular mechanism underlying clonorchiasis remains largely unknown. Amino acid (AA) metabolism plays key roles in protein synthesis and energy sources, and improves immunity in pathological conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the AA profiles of spleen in clonorchiasis and speculate the interaction between the host and parasite. Methods: Here targeted ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry was applied to discover the AA profiles in spleen of rats infected with Clonorchis sinensis. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis (KEGG) was performed to characterize the dysregulated metabolic pathways. Results: Pathway analysis revealed that phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis and β-alanine metabolism were significantly altered in clonorchiasis. There were no significant correlations between 14 significant differential AAs and interleukin (IL)-1β. Although arginine, asparagine, histidine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine were positively correlated with IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α as well as aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase; β-alanine and 4-hydroxyproline were negatively correlated with IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α. Conclusion: This study reveals the dysregulation of AA metabolism in clonorchiasis and provides a useful insight of metabolic mechanisms at the molecular level.

Abstract
Variations in serum amino acid levels are linked to a multitude of complex disorders. We report the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) on nine serum amino acids in the UK Biobank participants (117 944, European descent). We identified 34 genomic loci for circulatory levels of alanine, 48 loci for glutamine, 44 loci for glycine, 16 loci for histidine, 11 loci for isoleucine, 19 loci for leucine, 9 loci for phenylalanine, 32 loci for tyrosine and 20 loci for valine. Our gene-based analysis mapped 46-293 genes associated with serum amino acids, including MIP, GLS2, SLC gene family, GCKR, LMO1, CPS1 and COBLL1.The gene-property analysis across 30 tissues highlighted enriched expression of the identified genes in liver tissues for all studied amino acids, except for isoleucine and valine, in muscle tissues for serum alanine and glycine, in adrenal gland tissues for serum isoleucine and leucine, and in pancreatic tissues for serum phenylalanine. Mendelian randomization (MR) phenome-wide association study analysis and subsequent two-sample MR analysis provided evidence that every standard deviation increase in valine is associated with 35% higher risk of type 2 diabetes and elevated levels of serum alanine and branched-chain amino acids with higher levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein, and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein. In contrast to reports by observational studies, MR analysis did not support a causal association between studied amino acids and coronary artery disease, Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer or prostate cancer. In conclusion, we explored the genetic architecture of serum amino acids and provided evidence supporting a causal role of amino acids in cardiometabolic health.

Abstract
In this study, Cu2+ modulated silver nanoclusters were constructed for the turn-on, label-free detection of L-histidine. Six Ag NCs protected by oligonucleotides (DNA-Ag NCs) were tested in a series of experiments. Finally, A-DAN-Ag NCs were chosen as the best candidate due to their excellent fluorescent properties. The fluorescence of A-DAN-Ag NCs was quenched using Cu2+ through energy or electron transfer. However, quenched fluorescence could be restored dramatically in the presence of L-histidine due to Cu2+ liberation from A-DAN-Ag NCs and because of the chelation between the imidazole group of L-histidine and Cu2+. The proposed sensor exhibited high selectivity towards L-histidine over other amino acids, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.096 μM ranging from 0 to 8 μM. The proposed sensor succeeded in detecting L-histidine in diluted human urine. Therefore, the sensor has promising practical applications in biological systems.

Abstract
Histidine plays an essential role in most biological systems. Changes in the homeostasis of histidine and histidine-rich proteins are connected to several diseases. Herein, we report a water-soluble Cu(II) coordination polymer, labeled CuCP, for the fluorimetric detection of histidine and histidine-rich proteins and peptides. Single-crystal structure determination of CuCP revealed a two-dimensional wavy network structure in which a carboxylate group connects the individual Cu(II) dimer unit in a syn-anti conformation. The weakly luminescent and water-soluble CuCP shows turn-on blue emission in the presence of histidine and histidine-rich peptides and proteins. The polymer can also stain histidine-rich proteins via gel electrophoresis. The limits of quantifications for histidine, glycine-histidine, serine-histidine, human serum albumin (HSA), bovine serum albumin, pepsin, trypsin, and lysozyme were found to be 300, 160, 600, 300, 600, 800, 120, and 290 nM, respectively. Utilizing the fluorescence turn-on property of CuCP, we measured HSA quantitatively in the urine samples. We also validated the present urinary HSA measurement assay with existing analytical techniques. Job's plot, 1H NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), fluorescence, and UV-vis studies confirmed the ligand displacement from CuCP in the presence of histidine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate effects of empagliflozin on plasma amino acids in people with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a randomized, active-controlled, open-label trial, 58 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized to 10 mg/day empagliflozin (n = 29) or standard treatment without empagliflozin (control group, n = 29) and treated for 12 weeks. We obtained blood samples at baseline and 12 weeks and assessed the plasma amino acid profile by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry liquid chromatography. We also calculated the Fischer ratio (the ratio of branched-chain to aromatic amino acids). RESULTS In the empagliflozin group but not in the control group, plasma levels of citrulline, histidine, and α-aminobutyric acid (AABA), the Fischer ratio, and serum high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin increased significantly (p = 0.0099, 0.0277, 0.0318, 0.0135, and 0.0304, respectively) and plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) decreased significantly (p = 0.0014). In the empagliflozin group, the change in plasma citrulline was positively correlated with the changes in HMW adiponectin (r = 0.488, p = 0.0084) and the Fischer ratio (r = 0.393, p = 0.0353) but negatively correlated with the change in ferritin (r= -0.533,p = 0.0051); the change in plasma histidine was negatively correlated with the change in PAI-1 (r= -0.398, p = 0.0397) and urinary albumin creatinine ratio (r= -0.478, p = 0.0088). CONCLUSION Empagliflozin significantly increases plasma citrulline, histidine, and AABA in people with type 2 diabetes. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION www.umin.ac.jp identifier is UMIN000025418.

Abstract
Transplant centers are currently facing a lack of tools to ensure adequate evaluation of the quality of the available organs, as well as a significant shortage of kidney donors. Therefore, efforts are being made to facilitate the effective use of available organs and expand the donor pool, particularly with expanded criteria donors. Fulfilling a need, we aim to present an innovative analytical method based on solid-phase microextraction (SPME) - chemical biopsy. In order to track changes affecting the organ throughout the entire transplant procedure, porcine kidneys were subjected to multiple samplings at various time points. The application of small-diameter SPME probes assured the minimal invasiveness of the procedure. Porcine model kidney autotransplantation was executed for the purpose of simulating two types of donor scenarios: donors with a beating heart (HBD) and donors after cardiac death (DCD). All renal grafts were exposed to continuous normothermic ex vivo perfusion. Following metabolomic and lipidomic profiling using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer, we observed differences in the profiles of HBD and DCD kidneys. The alterations were predominantly related to energy and glucose metabolism, and differences in the levels of essential amino acids, purine nucleosides, lysophosphocholines, phosphoethanolamines, and triacylglycerols were noticed. Our results indicate the potential of implementing chemical biopsy in the evaluation of graft quality and monitoring of renal function during perfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the differences in the microbiota composition of serum exosomes from patients with acute and chronic cholecystitis. METHOD Exosomes were isolated from the serum of cholecystitis patients through centrifugation and identified and characterized using transmission electron microscopy and nano-flow cytometry. Microbiota analysis was performed using 16S rRNA sequencing. RESULTS Compared to patients with chronic cholecystitis, those with acute cholecystitis exhibited lower richness and diversity. Beta diversity analysis revealed significant differences in the microbiota composition between patients with acute and chronic cholecystitis. The relative abundance of Proteobacteria was significantly higher in exosomes from patients with acute cholecystitis, whereas Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes were significantly more abundant in exosomes from patients with chronic cholecystitis. Furthermore, functional predictions of microbial communities using Tax4Fun analysis revealed significant differences in metabolic pathways such as amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and membrane transport between the two patient groups. CONCLUSIONS This study confirmed the differences in the microbiota composition within serum exosomes of patients with acute and chronic cholecystitis. Serum exosomes could serve as diagnostic indicators for distinguishing acute and chronic cholecystitis.

Abstract
Due to its insidious nature, lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify sensitive/specific biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring. The current study was designed to provide a current metabolic profile of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by systematically reviewing and summarizing various metabolomic/ lipidomic studies based on NSCLC blood samples, attempting to find biomarkers in human blood that can predict or diagnose NSCLC, and investigating the involvement of key metabolites in the pathogenesis of NSCLC. We searched all articles on lung cancer published in Elsevier, PubMed, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library between January 2012 and December 2022. After critical selection, a total of 31 studies (including 2768 NSCLC patients and 9873 healthy individuals) met the inclusion criteria, and 22 were classified as "high quality". Forty-six metabolites related to NSCLC were repeatedly identified, involving glucose metabolism, amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism and nucleotide metabolism. Pyruvic acid, carnitine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, kynurenine and 3-hydroxybutyrate showed upward trends in all studies, citric acid, glycine, threonine, cystine, alanine, histidine, inosine, betaine and arachidic acid showed downward trends in all studies. This review summarizes the existing metabolomic/lipidomic studies related to the identification of blood biomarkers in NSCLC, examines the role of key metabolites in the pathogenesis of NSCLC, and provides an important reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC. Due to the limited size and design heterogeneity of the existing studies, there is an urgent need for standardization of future studies, while validating existing findings with more studies.

Abstract
Histidine (His) and its metabolite analysis is significant due to their vital roles in the diagnosis of diseases. In practical applications, simple and effective detection and discrimination of these metabolic species are still a great challenge due to their highly similar structures. Herein, photoluminescence (PL)-electrochemiluminescence (ECL) dual-mode sensor arrays consisting of a series of sensing elements were proposed for simultaneous quantitation and accurate discrimination of His and its four key metabolites (including histamine, imidazole-4-acetic acid, N-acetylhistamine, and imidazole propionate). The sensing elements of these sensor arrays were constructed by employing two solvent iridium(III) complexes ([Ir(pbz)2(DMSO)Cl] and [Ir(ppy)2(DMSO)Cl], pbz = 3-(2-pyridyl)benzoic acid, ppy = 2-phenylpyridine) with excellent PL and ECL performances as cross-responsive sensing units. Based on diverse coordination abilities of the two complexes with the imidazole group of the five targets, PL and ECL responses of each sensing unit can be enhanced to various degrees, which generate unique fingerprint patterns for the corresponding targets. Through principal component analysis, the multifarious patterns (two-, three-, and four-element sensor arrays) can be transformed into simple visualization modes, from which His and its four key metabolites can be effectively discriminated against each other. Moreover, the quantitation of an individual metabolic species at different concentrations and the recognition of the mixtures with different ratios were also accurately achieved. Notably, His and its four key metabolites in urine can also be successfully discriminated by the as-fabricated sensor arrays, and the patients with kidney diseases can be identified clearly, providing a promising way for disease diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The underdiagnosis and inadequate treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be attributed to the various clinical manifestations presented by patients. To address this concern, we conducted an extensive review and meta-analysis, focusing on RA-related metabolites. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase to identify relevant studies published up to October 5, 2022. The quality of the included articles was evaluated and, subsequently, a meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager software to analyze the association between metabolites and RA. RESULTS Forty nine studies met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review, and six of these studies were meta-analyzed to evaluate the association between 28 reproducible metabolites and RA. The results indicated that, compared to controls, the levels of histidine (RoM = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.79-0.88, I2 = 0%), asparagine (RoM = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.75-0.91, I2 = 0%), methionine (RoM = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.69-0.98, I2 = 85%), and glycine (RoM = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.67-0.97, I2 = 68%) were significantly lower in RA patients, while hypoxanthine levels (RoM = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.09-1.19, I2 = 0%) were significantly higher. CONCLUSION This study identified histidine, methionine, asparagine, hypoxanthine, and glycine as significantly correlated with RA, thus offering the potential for the advancement of biomarker discovery and the elucidation of disease mechanisms in RA.

Abstract
Amino acids, metabolized by host cells as well as commensal gut bacteria, have signaling effects on host metabolism. Oral supplementation of the essential amino acid histidine has been shown to exert metabolic benefits. To investigate whether dietary histidine aids glycemic control, we performed a case-controlled parallel clinical intervention study in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and healthy controls. Participants received oral histidine for seven weeks. After 2 weeks of histidine supplementation, the microbiome was depleted by antibiotics to determine the microbial contribution to histidine metabolism. We assessed glycemic control, immunophenotyping of peripheral blood mononucelar cells (PBMC), DNA methylation of PBMCs and fecal gut microbiota composition. Histidine improves several markers of glycemic control, including postprandial glucose levels with a concordant increase in the proportion of MAIT cells after two weeks of histidine supplementation. The increase in MAIT cells was associated with changes in gut microbial pathways such as riboflavin biosynthesis and epigenetic changes in the amino acid transporter SLC7A5. Associations between the microbiome and MAIT cells were replicated in the MetaCardis cohort. We propose a conceptual framework for how oral histidine may affect MAIT cells via altered gut microbiota composition and SLC7A5 expression in MAIT cells directly and thereby influencing glycemic control. Future studies should focus on the role of flavin biosynthesis intermediates and SLC7A5 modulation in MAIT cells to modulate glycemic control.

Abstract
Advancements in the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) along with recent developments in omics sciences have resulted in a better understanding of molecular mechanisms and pathways associated with the physio-pathological state of the animal. Metabolomics is a post-genomics tool that deals with small molecular metabolites in a given set of time which provides clear information about the status of an organism. Recently many researchers mainly focus their research on metabolomics studies due to its valuable information in the various fields of livestock management and precision dairying. The main aim of the present review is to provide an insight into the current research output from different sources and application of metabolomics in various areas of livestock including nutri-metabolomics, disease diagnosis advancements, reproductive disorders, pharmaco-metabolomics, genomics studies, and dairy production studies. The present review would be helpful in understanding the metabolomics methodologies and use of livestock metabolomics in various areas in a brief way.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a highly prevalent complication of diabetes mellitus, is a major cause of mortality in patients. However, identifying circulatory markers to diagnose DKD requires a thorough understanding of the metabolic mechanisms of DKD. In this study, we performed ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to reveal altered metabolic profiles of amino acids (AAs) in patients with DKD. We found decreased plasma levels of histidine and valine, increased urine levels of proline, decreased urine levels of histidine and valine, and increased saliva levels of arginine in patients with DKD compared with the levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and in healthy controls. Our analyses of the key metabolites and metabolic enzymes involved in histidine and valine metabolism indicated that the AAs level alterations may be due to enhanced carnosine hydrolysis, decreased degradation of homocarnosine and anserine, enhanced histidine methylation, and systemic enhancement of valine metabolism in patients with DKD. Notably, we generated a distinct diagnostic model with an AUC of 0.957 and an accuracy up to 92.2% on the basis of the AA profiles in plasma, urine and saliva differing in patients with DKD using logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic analyses. In conclusion, our results suggest that altered AA metabolic profiles are associated with the progression of DKD. Our DKD diagnostic model on the basis of AA levels in plasma, urine, and saliva may provide a theoretical basis for innovative strategies to diagnose DKD that may replace cumbersome kidney biopsies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Agricultural workers are consistently exposed to elevated heat exposures and vulnerable to acute kidney injury. The underlying pathophysiology and detailed molecular mechanisms of AKI among agricultural workers, and the disproportionate burden of HRI and heat stress exposure are not well understood, especially at the level of cellular metabolism. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the impact of heat exposures on renal biomarkers and on the human metabolome via untargeted high-resolution metabolomics among agricultural and non-agricultural workers. METHODS Blood and urine samples were collected pre- and post-work shift from 63 agricultural workers and 27 non- agricultural workers. We evaluated pre- and post-work shift renal biomarkers and completed untargeted metabolomics using high-resolution mass spectrometry with liquid chromatography. Metabolome-wide association studies (MWAS) models identified the metabolic features differentially expressed between agricultural workers and non-agricultural workers. RESULTS Median values of pre-shift creatinine and osteopontin (p < 0.05) were higher for agricultural workers than non-agricultural workers. Metabolic pathway enrichment analyses revealed 27 diverse pathways differed between agricultural workers and non-agricultural workers (p < 0.05) including TCA cycle and urea cycle, carbohydrate metabolism, histidine metabolism and evidence for altered microbiome shikimate pathway. CONCLUSION This is the first investigation on the metabolic pathways that are affected among agricultural workers who are exposed to heat compared to non-heat exposed workers. This study shows extensive responses of central metabolic systems to heat exposures that impact human health.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an autoimmune rheumatic disease that mostly affects the axial skeleton. This study aimed to investigate reliable diagnostic serum biomarkers for AS. Serum samples were collected from 20 AS patients and 20 healthy controls (HCs) and analyzed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The differential metabolites between the AS patients and HCs were profiled using univariate and multivariate statistical analyses. Pathway analysis and a heat map were also conducted. Random forest (RF) analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were used to establish predictive and diagnostic models. After controlling the variable importance in the projection (VIP) value > 1 and false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05, a total of 61 differential metabolites were identified from 995 metabolites, which exhibited significant differences in the pathway analysis and heat map between the AS patients and HCs. RF as a predictive model also identified differential metabolites with 95% predictive accuracy and a high area under the curve (AUC) of 1. A diagnostic model comprising nine metabolites (cysteinylglycine disulfide, choline, N6, N6, N6-trimethyllysine, histidine, sphingosine, fibrinopeptide A, glycerol 3-phosphate, 1-linoleoyl-GPA (18:2), and fibrinopeptide A (3-16)) was generated using LASSO regression, capable of distinguishing HCs from AS with a high AUC of 1. Our results indicated that the UPLC-MS/MS analysis method is a powerful tool for identifying AS metabolite profiles. We developed a nine-metabolites-based model serving as a diagnostic tool to separate AS patients from HCs, and the identified diagnostic biomarkers appeared to have a diagnostic value for AS.

Abstract
Changes in light/dark cycles and obesogenic diets are related to the disruption of circadian rhythms and metabolic disorders. Grape seed flavanols have shown beneficial effects on metabolic diseases and, recently, a circadian system modulation has been suggested to mediate their health-enhancing properties. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the grape seed (poly)phenol extract (GSPE) effects in healthy and obese rats after a light/dark cycle disruption. Forty-eight rats were fed a standard (STD) or cafeteria (CAF) diet for 6 weeks under STD conditions of a light/dark cycle (12 h light per day, L12). Then, animals were switched to a long (18 h light per day, L18) or short (6 h light per day, L6) photoperiod and administered a vehicle (VH) or GSPE (25 mg kg-1) for 1 week. The results showed changes in serum lipids and insulin and metabolomic profiles dependent on the photoperiod and animal health status. GSPE administration improved serum parameters and increased the Nampt gene expression in CAF rats and modified the metabolomic profile in a photoperiod-dependent manner. Metabolic effects of light/dark disturbance depend on the health status of the rats, with diet-induced CAF-induced obese rats being more affected. Grape seed flavanols improve the metabolic status in a photoperiod-dependent manner and their effects on the circadian system suggest that part of their metabolic effects could be mediated by their action on biological rhythms.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is one of the primary risk factors for various adverse health events in later life. However, its pathophysiology in the very old population remains unclear. Hence, this study aimed to examine whether plasma free amino acids (PFAAs) correlate with major sarcopenic phenotypes (i.e., muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance) in community-dwelling adults aged 85-89 years living in Japan. Cross-sectional data from the Kawasaki Aging Well-being Project were used. We included 133 adults aged 85-89 years. In this study, fasting blood was collected to measure 20 plasma PFAAs. Measures for the three major sarcopenic phenotypes included appendicular lean mass assessed by multifrequency bioimpedance, isometric handgrip strength, and gait speed from a 5 m walk at a usual pace. Furthermore, we used phenotype-specific elastic net regression models adjusted for age centered at 85 years, sex, body mass index, education level, smoking status, and drinking habit to identify significant PFAAs for each sarcopenic phenotype. Higher histidine and lower alanine levels were associated with poor gait speed, but no PFAAs correlated with muscle strength or mass. In conclusion, PFAAs such as plasma histidine and alanine are novel blood biomarkers associated with physical performance in community-dwelling adults aged 85 years or older.

Abstract
Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2 have spread rapidly worldwide; however, most infected patients have mild or no symptoms. This study aimed to understand the host response to Omicron infections by performing metabolomic profiling of plasma. We observed that Omicron infections triggered an inflammatory response and innate immune, and adaptive immunity was suppressed, including reduced T-cell response and immunoglobulin antibody production. Similar to the original SARS-CoV-2 strain circulating in 2019, the host developed an anti-inflammatory response and accelerated energy metabolism in response to Omicron infection. However, differential regulation of macrophage polarization and reduced neutrophil function has been observed in Omicron infections. Interferon-induced antiviral immunity was not as strong in Omicron infections as in the original SARS-CoV-2 infections. The host response to Omicron infections increased antioxidant capacity and liver detoxification more than in the original strain. Hence, these findings suggest that Omicron infections cause weaker inflammatory alterations and immune responses than the original SARS-CoV-2 strain.

Biomarker identification and pathway analysis of Astragalus membranaceus and Curcuma zedoaria couplet medicines on adenine-induced chronic kidney disease in rats based on metabolomics. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1103527. [PMID: 37089928 PMCID: PMC10116179 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1103527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is usually insidious, and most affected individuals are asymptomatic until the disease becomes advanced. The effective treatment of CKD would rely on the incorporation of multidisciplinary approaches. Astragalus membranaceus (AM) and Curcuma zedoaria (CZ) have been widely used in the treatment of CKD. However, the mechanism of AM and CZ in the treatment of CKD is still unclear.Methods: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of AM and CZ on adenine-induced rats and to investigate the underlying mechanism by using metabolomic analysis. Addition of 0.75% adenine to the diet of rats for 3 weeks induced the animal model of CKD. The rats in the treatment group were treated with AM and CZ (2.1 g/kg/day) for 4 weeks. Blood and kidney samples were collected for biochemical and histological examination. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/Q Exactive HFX mass spectrometer (UHPLC-QE-MS) was applied to analyze metabolic profiling variations in the kidney.Results: The results showed that AM and CZ could significantly reduce serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels in CKD rats and alleviate renal pathological injury. By comparing the endogenous components of the normal group and the model group in positive ion mode and negative ion mode, a total of 365 and 155 different metabolites were screened, respectively. A total of 117 and 73 metabolites with significantly different expressions were identified between model group and AM and CZ group in positive ion mode and negative ion mode, respectively. The pivotal pathways affected by AM and CZ included nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, and glycine, serine and threonine metabolism. Furthermore, significant changes in metabolites in CKD rats after AM and CZ therapies were observed, including L-Threonine, D-pantothenic acid, and nicotinamide. Moreover, we found that AM and CZ significantly reduced renal fibrosis and inflammation in CKD rats, which may be related to the regulation of SIRT1/JNK signaling pathway.Conclusion: In conclusion, AM and CZ significantly reduced renal fibrosis and inflammation in CKD rats, which may be related to the regulation of SIRT1/JNK signaling pathway. Furthermore, L-Threonine, D-pantothenic acid, and nicotinamide may be potential biomarkers for the progression and treatment of CKD.

Abstract
Herein, we reported a novel peptide-based fluorescent probe DSSH for highly selective and sensitive detections of both Cu2+ and l-histidine (l-His). DSSH exhibited different color changes and fluorescence "on-off" response toward Cu2+ with a 2:1 binding stoichiometry, and the limit of detection (LOD) for Cu2+ was calculated to be 22.9 nM. The in situ formed DSSH-Cu2+ ensemble showed obvious fluorescence "off-on" response to l-His based on replacement reaction with Cu2+, as well as the discernable color changes under 365 nm UV lamp irradiation with "naked eye". The specificity of Cu2+/l-His interactions allowed l-His to be determined without interference from other amino acids, and the detection limit of DSSH-Cu2+ ensemble response to l-His was determined as 25.7 nM. Notably, DSSH was successfully applied for detecting Cu2+ and l-His in RKO living cells owing to its remarkable fluorescence behavior and low cytotoxicity. Test strips experiments suggested that DSSH can recognize Cu2+ and l-His together by a remarkable fluorescence change. More importantly, smartphone was combined with l-His solutions of different concentrations and converted into digital values through RGB channels, which was successfully used for semi-quantitative identification of l-His, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.97 μM.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of glutamine (Gln) on diabetic nephropathy and other complications in a rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Streptozotocin/nicotinamide induced diabetic rats were enrolled as an animal model of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Animals were divided into control, diabetic, and Gln (1000 mg/l in drinking water, eight weeks) treated diabetic groups. Gln alleviated renal inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers (tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin 6, glutathione peroxidase, total superoxide dismutase, and glutathione), decreased serum uric acid and creatinine, and restored renal histopathological changes (glomerular volume, sclerosis, and leukocyte infiltration). Additionally, Gln ameliorated other complications, including systemic oxidative stress (serum malondialdehyde and nitric oxide, serum and liver glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, and total superoxide dismutase, and liver catalase), insulin resistance, hyperglycaemia, and hyperlipidaemia. Collectively, Gln attenuates diabetic nephropathy and other complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus in rats through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effect of amino acid metabolism on the risk of diabetic nephropathy under different conditions of the diabetic retinopathy, and the use of different oral hypoglycemic agents. METHODS This study retrieved 1031 patients with type 2 diabetes from the First Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning Medical University in Jinzhou, which is located in Liaoning Province, China. We conducted a spearman correlation study between diabetic retinopathy and amino acids that have an impact on the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy. Logistic regression was used to analyze the changes of amino acid metabolism in different diabetic retinopathy conditions. Finally, the additive interaction between different drugs and diabetic retinopathy was explored. RESULTS It is showed that the protective effect of some amino acids on the risk of developing diabetic nephropathy is masked in diabetic retinopathy. Additionally, the additive effect of the combination of different drugs on the risk of diabetic nephropathy was greater than that of any one drug alone. CONCLUSIONS We found that diabetic retinopathy patients have a higher risk of developing diabetic nephropathy than the general type 2 diabetes population. Additionally, the use of oral hypoglycemic agents can also increase the risk of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
This research proposed a sample and environmentally sustainable technique for the synthesis of bovine serum albumin capped gold nanoclusters (BSA-AuNCs) with outstanding fluorescence. The synthesized BSA-AuNCs were investigated using various ways before being combined with Cu2+ to produce a fluorescent switch probe (BSA-AuNCs-Cu2+) for histidine determination. After adding Cu2+, the fluorescence of the BSA-AuNCs was quenched, the fluorescence intensity was enhanced after adding histidine due to good coordination between Cu2+ and histidine. The significant chelation of histidine with Cu2+ demonstrated the viability of developing a selective "switch on" probe for histidine detecting over other amino acids. Unlike existing fluorescent nanomaterial-based approaches for detecting histidine, this study promises good selectivity, high efficiency, and the avoiding of chemical solvents. The designed BSA-AuNCs-Cu2+ fluorescent probe demonstrated an acceptable linear detection range of 0 to 240 µM under optimum circumstances, with a detection limit of 0.9 µM. The BSA-AuNCs-Cu2+ system was investigated in rat serum and human urine, with recoveries ranging from 97.2 to 108.2%, demonstrating its potential applicability for histidine detection with favorable results.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating chronic disease of unknown etiology. There are limited treatment options due to an incomplete understanding of disease pathology. The disease is shown to have seasonal exacerbation of clinical symptoms. The mechanisms of such seasonal worsening of symptoms remains unknown. In this study, we applied targeted metabolomics analysis of serum samples using LC-MC/MC to determine seasonal changes in metabolites throughout the four seasons. We also analyzed seasonal serum cytokine alterations in patients with relapsed MS. For the first time, we can demonstrate seasonal changes in various metabolites in MS compared to the control. More metabolites were affected in MS in the fall season followed by spring, while summer MS was characterized by the smallest number of affected metabolites. Ceramides were activated in all seasons, suggesting their central role in the disease pathogenesis. Substantial changes in glucose metabolite levels were found in MS, indicating a potential shift to glycolysis. An increased serum level of quinolinic acid was demonstrated in winter MS. Histidine pathways were affected, suggesting their role in relapse of MS in the spring and fall. We also found that spring and fall seasons had a higher number of overlapping metabolites affected in MS. This could be explained by patients having a relapse of symptoms during these two seasons.

Jeong S, Jang HB, Kim HJ, Lee HJ. Identification of Biomarkers Related to Metabolically Unhealthy Obesity in Korean Obese Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:children10020322. [PMID: 36832451 PMCID: PMC9955165 DOI: 10.3390/children10020322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The current study aimed to screen for relationships and different potential metabolic biomarkers involved between metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) in adolescents. METHODS The study included 148 obese adolescents aged between 14 and 16. The study participants were divided into MUO and MHO groups based on the age-specific adolescent metabolic syndrome (MetS) criteria of the International Diabetes Federation. The current study was conducted to investigate the clinical and metabolic differences between the MHO and MUO groups. Multivariate analyses were conducted to investigate the metabolites as independent predictors for the odds ratio and the presence of the MetS. RESULTS There were significant differences in the three acylcarnitines, five amino acids, glutamine/glutamate ratio, three biogenic amines, two glycerophospholipids, and the triglyceride-glucose index between the MUO group and those in the MHO group. Moreover, several metabolites were associated with the prevalence of MUO. Additionally, several metabolites were inversely correlated with MHO in the MUO group. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the biomarkers found in this study have the potential to reflect the clinical outcomes of the MUO group. These biomarkers will lead to a better understanding of MetS in obese adolescents.

Abstract
A rare in situ-generated mononuclear rhenium complex [Re(bpt)(CO)3(NH3)] (1, bpt = 3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazolate) can be used as a "turn-on" luminescent probe for selectively sensing L-histidine against other amino acids. Compound 1 was prepared by reacting Re2(CO)10, 2-cyanopyridine and hydrazine with an in situ formed bpt ligand through cyclization via C-N and N-N couplings with its single-side chelating mode arrayed with respect to the Re center. Compound 1 was highly stable and showed a green light MLCT emission in DMF solution at 507 nm upon excitation at 360 nm. Interestingly, the emission from 1 could be quenched by the addition of metal ions such as Ni2+ and Cu2+ but the emission efficiently recovered with the introduction of histidine. However, histidine could only be selectively detected when a combination of compound 1 and Ni2+ was used. Therefore, the luminescence response of the Ni2+-modified compound 1 could be utilized as a "turn-on" probe for the selective detection of histidine. This work provides a simple method for developing new sensing platforms of a discrete metal complex based on rare in situ generation.

Abstract
Three simple dipodal artificial acyclic symmetric receptors, SDO, SDM, and SDP, driven by positional isomerism based on xylelene scaffolds were designed, synthesized, and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectroscopy techniques. Probes SDO, SDM, and SDP demonstrated selective detection of Ag+ metal ions and amino acid l-histidine in a DMSO-H2O solution (1:1 v/v, HEPES 50 mM, pH = 7.4). The detection of Ag+ metal ions occurred in three ways: (i) inhibition of the photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) process, (ii) blueshifted fluorescence enhancement via the intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) process, and (iii) restricted rotation of the dangling benzylic scaffold following coordination with a Ag+ metal ion. Job's plot analysis and quantum yields confirm the binding of probes to Ag+ in 1:1, 1:2, and 1:2 ratios with LODs and LOQs found to be 1.3 μM and 3.19 × 10-7 M, 6.40 × 10-7 and 2.44 × 10 -6 M, and 9.76 × 10-7 and 21.01 × 10-7 M, respectively. 1H NMR titration, HRMS, ESI-TOF, IR analysis, and theoretical DFT investigations were also used to establish the binding stoichiometry. Furthermore, the probes were utilized for the detection of Ag+ ions in water samples, food samples, soil analysis, and bacterial imaging in Escherichia coli cells and a molecular logic gate was constructed.

Abstract
In this article, a novel triphenylamine-modified salicylaldehyde Schiff base 2-(((4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)imino)methyl)-4-(pyridine-4-yl)phenol (HL) was synthesized and structurally characterized. HL possessed D-π-A structure and exhibited typical AIE property in THF/H2O. It was applied to selectively recognize Cu2+ through an on-off mode in THF/H2O (1/9, v/v), and the fluorescence attenuation was attributed to a paramagnetic quenching effect of Cu2+ together with the abatement of HL aggregates. Hence, the detection limit achieved was as low as 1.32 × 10-7 M. The spectroscopic and ESI-HRMS results revealed a 1 : 2 complexation ratio of Cu2+ with HL. The mechanism for sensing Cu2+ was further confirmed by performing DFT calculations. Owing to the large affinity between Cu2+ and His, the resultant CuL2 system was further used to detect His via the off-on method based on the displacement of ligands. The detection limit for His reached 5.14 × 10-8 M. Furthermore, HL was available to prepare handy indicator papers for the on-site recognition of Cu2+ and His. Confocal fluorescent imaging demonstrated that HL could sequentially respond to intracellular Cu2+ and His.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) occurs in 25-40% of patients with diabetes. Individuals with DKD are at a significant risk of progression to end-stage kidney disease morbidity and mortality. At present, although renal function-decline can be retarded by intensive glucose lowering and strict blood pressure control, these current treatments have shown no beneficial impact on preventing progression to kidney failure. Recently, in addition to control of blood sugar and pressure, a dietary approach has been recommended for management of DKD. Amino acids (AAs) are both biomarkers and causal factors of DKD progression. AA homeostasis contributes to renal hemodynamic response and glomerular hyperfiltration alteration in diabetic patients. This review discusses the links between progressive kidney dysfunction and the metabolic homeostasis of histidine, tryptophan, methionine, glutamine, tyrosine, and branched-chain AAs. In addition, we emphasize the regulation effects of special metabolites on DKD progression, with a focus on causality and potential mechanisms. This paper may offer an optimized protein diet strategy with concomitant management of AA homeostasis to reduce the risks of DKD in a setting of hyperglycemia.

Abstract
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a serious neurodevelopmental disorder. As the etiology of SZ is complex and the pathogenesis is not thoroughly understood, the diagnosis of different subtypes still depends on the subjective judgment of doctors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop early objective laboratory diagnostic biomarkers to screen different subtypes of patients as early as possible, and to implement targeted prevention and precision medicine to reduce the risk of SZ and improve patients' quality of life. In this study, untargeted metabolomics and 16S rDNA sequencing were used to analyze the differences in metabolites and gut microflora among 28 patients with two types of schizophrenia and 11 healthy subjects. The results showed that the metabolome and sequencing data could effectively discriminate among paranoid schizophrenia patients, undifferentiated schizophrenia patients and healthy controls. We obtained 65 metabolites and 76 microorganisms with significant changes, and fecal metabolite composition was significantly correlated with the differential genera (|r|>0.5), indicating that there was a regulatory relationship between the gut microbiota and the host metabolites. The gut microbiome, as an objective and measurable index, showed good diagnostic value for distinguishing schizophrenia patients from healthy people, especially with a combination of several differential microorganisms, which had the best diagnostic effect (AUC>0.9). Our results are conducive to understanding the complicated metabolic changes in SZ patients and providing valuable information for the clinical diagnosis of SZ.

Abstract
Abnormalities of serum amino acid profile, mostly characterized by a reduction in essential amino acids (EAAs) and an increase in non-essential amino acids (NEAAs), have been documented in human chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Amino acid disorders have been associated with CKD complications, such as metabolic acidosis and malnutrition. The aim of the present study was to evaluate EAAs and NEAAs in dogs affected by CKD at different IRIS stages, with particular reference to calcium−phosphate abnormalities, metabolic acidosis, and protein-energy wasting syndrome (PEW). Serum EAAs (L-histidine, L-isoleucine, L-leucine, L-lysine, methionine, L-phenylalanine, L-threonine, tryptophan, L-valine, and L-arginine) and serum NEAAs (L-alanine, L-aspartic acid, L-cysteine, L-glutamic acid, glycine, proline, L-serine, and L-tyrosine) were analyzed with HPLC in a group of dogs with CKD (n = 62), and in a group of healthy dogs (n = 25). CKD dogs showed significantly lower serum levels of histidine (p < 0.000), isoleucine (p < 0.000), tryptophan (p < 0.000), alanine (p = 0.013), cysteine (p < 0.000), and serine (p = 0.002), and significantly higher levels of proline (p < 0.000), leucine (p = 0.001), lysine (p < 0.000), valine (p < 0.000), arginine (p = 0.002), glutamic acid (p = 0.002), and glycine (p = 0.010) compared to healthy dogs. Dogs with abnormal calcium x phosphate values showed significantly higher levels of cysteine (p = 0.003), and lower levels of tryptophan (p = 0.025) compared to CKD dogs with normal CaxP. Dogs with metabolic acidosis showed significantly higher levels of phenylalanine (p = 0.035) and leucine (p = 0.034) compared to CKD dogs without metabolic acidosis. Dogs with PEW showed significantly lower levels for most of amino acids. In PEW dogs, the median distribution of both EAAs (p = 0.000) and NEAAs (p = 0.001) was significantly lower. The serum pattern of both EAAs and NEAAs was significantly different in CKD dogs compared to healthy dogs, although no association with the progression of the IRIS stage was found.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most prevalent comorbidities of diabetes mellitus and the leading cause of the end-stage renal disease (ESRD). DKD results from chronic exposure to hyperglycemia, leading to progressive alterations in kidney structure and function. The early development of DKD is clinically silent and when albuminuria is detected the lesions are often at advanced stages, leading to rapid kidney function decline towards ESRD. DKD progression can be arrested or substantially delayed if detected and addressed at early stages. A major limitation of current methods is the absence of albuminuria in non-albuminuric phenotypes of diabetic nephropathy, which becomes increasingly prevalent and lacks focused therapy. Metabolomics is an ever-evolving omics technology that enables the study of metabolites, downstream products of every biochemical event that occurs in an organism. Metabolomics disclosures complex metabolic networks and provide knowledge of the very foundation of several physiological or pathophysiological processes, ultimately leading to the identification of diseases' unique metabolic signatures. In this sense, metabolomics is a promising tool not only for the diagnosis but also for the identification of pre-disease states which would confer a rapid and personalized clinical practice. Herein, the use of metabolomics as a tool to identify the DKD metabolic signature of tubule interstitial lesions to diagnose or predict the time-course of DKD will be discussed. In addition, the proficiency and limitations of the currently available high-throughput metabolomic techniques will be discussed.

Biol Reprod 2022; 106:1049-1058. [PMID: 35226730 DOI: 10.1093/biolre/ioac038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Understanding metabolic changes in reproductive failure, including early miscarriage (EM), recurrent miscarriage (RM) and repeated implantation failure (RIF), may be beneficial to understand the pathophysiology, thus improving pregnancy outcomes. Nine metabolomic profiling studies in women with reproductive failures (4 for EM, 3 for RM and 2 for RIF) were included for systematic review. In total 78, 75 and 25 significant metabolites were identified and 40, 40 and 34 metabolic pathways were enriched in EM, RM and RIF, respectively. Among them, 7 and 11 metabolites, and 28 and 28 pathways were shared between EM and RM and between RM and RIF, respectively. Notably, histidine metabolism has the highest impact in EM; phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis. Ubiquinone and other terpenoid-quinone biosynthesis metabolism have the highest impact factor in RM; alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism have the highest impact factor in RIF. This study not only summarized the common and distinct metabolites and metabolic pathways in different reproductive failures but also summarized limitations of the study designs and methodologies. Hence, further investigations and validations of these metabolites are still urgently needed to understand the underlying metabolic mechanism for the development and treatment of reproductive failures.

Abstract
Pi-Dan-Jian-Qing decoction (PDJQ) can been used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in clinic. However, the protective mechanisms of PDJQ on T2DM remain unknown. Recent studies have shown that the changes in gut microbiota could affect the host metabolism and contribute to progression of T2DM. In this study, we first investigated the therapeutic effects of PDJQ on T2DM rats. 16S rRNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics analyses were used to investigate the mechanisms of action of PDJQ in the treatment of T2DM. Our results showed that PDJQ treatment could improve the hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance (IR) and pathological changes of liver, pancreas, kidney, and colon in T2DM rats. PDJQ could also decrease the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibit the oxidative stress. 16S rRNA sequencing showed that PDJQ could decrease the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F to B) ratio at the phylum level. At the genus level, PDJQ could increase the relative abundances of Lactobacillus, Blautia, Bacteroides, Desulfovibrio and Akkermansia and decrease the relative abundance of Prevotella. Serum untargeted metabolomics analysis showed that PDJQ could regulate tryptophan metabolism, histidine metabolism, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis and tyrosine metabolism pathways. Correlation analysis indicated that the modulatory effects of PDJQ on the tryptophan metabolism, histidine metabolism and TCA cycle pathways were related to alterations in the abundance of Lactobacillus, Bacteroides and Akkermansia. In conclusion, our study revealed the various ameliorative effects of PDJQ on T2DM, including improving the liver and kidney functions and alleviating the hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, IR, pathological changes, oxidative stress and inflammatory response. The mechanisms of PDJQ on T2DM are likely linked to an improvement in the dysbiosis of gut microbiota and modulation of tryptophan metabolism, histamine metabolism, and the TCA cycle.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:765873. [PMID: 34912824 PMCID: PMC8666657 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.765873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 11/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a highly prevalent complication in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Patients with DKD exhibit changes in plasma levels of amino acids (AAs) due to insulin resistance, reduced protein intake, and impaired renal transport of AAs. The role of AAs in distinguishing DKD from T2DM and healthy controls has yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the metabolomic profiling of AAs in the plasma of patients with DKD. Methods: We established an ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method to detect the plasma levels of the 20 AAs in healthy controls (n = 112), patients with T2DM (n = 101), and patients with DKD (n = 101). The key AAs associated with DKD were identified by orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) models with loading plots, shared and unique structures (SUS) plots, and variable importance in projection (VIP) values. The discrimination accuracies of these key AAs were then determined by analyses of receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: Metabolomic profiling of plasma revealed significant alterations in levels of the 20 AAs in patients with DKD when compared to those in either patients with T2DM or healthy controls. Metabolomic profiling of the 20 AAs showed a visual separation of patients with DKD from patients with T2DM and healthy controls in OPLS-DA models. Based on loading plots, SUS plots, and VIP values in the OPLS-DA models, we identified valine and cysteine as potential contributors to the progression of DKD from patients with T2DM. Histidine was identified as a key mediator that could distinguish patients with DKD from healthy controls. Plasma levels of histidine and valine were decreased significantly in patients with DKD with a decline in kidney function, and had excellent performance in distinguishing patients with DKD from patients with T2DM and healthy controls according to ROC curves. Conclusion: Plasma levels of histidine and valine were identified as the main AAs that can distinguish patients with DKD. Our findings provide new options for the prevention, treatment, and management of DKD.

Abstract
Aims: Circulating amino acid (AA) abnormalities serve as predictors of adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the role of the gut microbiota in AA disturbances remains unknown. Thus, we investigated gut microbial functions and their associations with AA metabolic alterations in patients with HF. Methods and Results: We performed whole-genome shotgun sequencing of fecal samples and mass spectrometry-based profiling of AAs in patients with compensated HF. Plasma levels of total essential AAs (EAAs) and histidine were significantly lower in patients with HF than in control subjects. HF patients also displayed increased and decreased abundance of gut microbial genes involved in the degradation and biosynthesis, respectively, of EAAs, including branched-chain AAs (BCAAs) and histidine. Importantly, a significant positive correlation was observed between the abundance of microbial genes involved in BCAA biosynthesis and plasma BCAA levels in patients with HF, but not in controls. Moreover, network analysis revealed that the depletion of Eubacterium and Prevotella, which harbor genes for BCAA and histidine biosynthesis, contributed to decreased abundance of microbial genes involved in the biosynthesis of those EAAs in patients with HF. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated the relationship between gut microbiota and AA metabolic disturbances in patients with HF.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Biosynthetic Impairment and Urinary Metabolomic Alterations Observed in Hospitalized Adults With COVID-19-Related Acute Kidney Injury. Kidney Int Rep 2021; 6:3002-3013.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in COVID-19 and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We investigated alterations in the urine metabolome to test the hypothesis that impaired nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) biosynthesis and other deficiencies in energy metabolism in the kidney, previously characterized in ischemic, toxic, and inflammatory etiologies of AKI, will be present in COVID-19-associated AKI. METHODS This is a case-control study among the following 2 independent populations of adults hospitalized with COVID-19: a critically ill population in Boston, Massachusetts, and a general population in Birmingham, Alabama. The cases had AKI stages 2 or 3 by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria; the controls had no AKI. Metabolites were measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS A total of 14 cases and 14 controls were included from Boston and 8 cases and 10 controls from Birmingham. Increased urinary quinolinate-to-tryptophan ratio (Q/T), found with impaired NAD+ biosynthesis, was present in the cases at each location and pooled across locations (median [interquartile range]: 1.34 [0.59-2.96] in cases, 0.31 [0.13-1.63] in controls, P = 0.0013). Altered energy metabolism and purine metabolism contributed to a distinct urinary metabolomic signature that differentiated patients with and without AKI (supervised random forest class error: 2 of 28 in Boston, 0 of 18 in Birmingham). CONCLUSION Urinary metabolites spanning multiple biochemical pathways differentiate AKI versus non-AKI in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and suggest a conserved impairment in NAD+ biosynthesis, which may present a novel therapeutic target to mitigate COVID-19-associated AKI.

Abstract
Cow mastitis, with high incidence rate and complex cause of disease, is one of the main diseases that affect the development of dairy industry in the world. Clinical mastitis and subclinical mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, and other pathogens have a huge potential safety hazard to food safety and the rapid development of animal husbandry. The economic loss caused by cow mastitis is billions of dollars every year in the world. In recent years, the omics technology has been widely used in animal husbandry with the continuous breakthrough of sequencing technology and the continuous reduction of sequencing cost. For dairy cow mastitis, the traditional diagnostic technique, such as histopathological screening, somatic cell count, milk pH test, milk conductivity test, enzyme activity test, and infrared thermography, are difficult to fully and comprehensively clarify its pathogenesis due to their own limitations. Metabolomics technology is an important part of system biology, which can simultaneously analyze all low molecular weight metabolites such as amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates under the action of complex factors including internal and external environment and in a specific physiological period accurately and efficiently, and then clarify the related metabolic pathways. Metabolomics, as the most downstream of gene expression, can amplify the small changes of gene and protein expression at the level of metabolites, which can more fully reflect the cell function. The application of metabolomics technology in cow mastitis can analyze the hetero metabolites, identify the related biomarkers, and reveal the physiological and pathological changes of cow mammary gland, so as to provide valuable reference for the prediction, diagnosis, and treatment of mastitis. The research progress of metabolomics technology in cow mastitis in recent years was reviewed, in order to provide guidance for the development of cow health and dairy industry safety in this manuscript.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been demonstrated to be desired candidates for sensing definite species owing to their tunable composition, framework structure and functionality. In this work, the NH2-MIL-101 series was utilized for sensing specific amino acids. The results show that cysteine (Cys) can significantly enhance the fluorescence emission of NH2-MIL-101-Fe suspended in water, while NH2-MIL-101-Al exhibits the ability to sense lysine (Lys), arginine (Arg) and histidine (His) in aqueous media via turn-on fluorescence emission. Titration experiments ensure that NH2-MIL-101-Fe and NH2-MIL-101-Al can selectively and quantitatively detect these amino acids. The sensing mechanism was examined and discussed. The results of this study show that the metal centers in MOFs are crucial for sensing specific amino acids.
