Abstract
Sleep is essential to maintaining health and wellbeing of individuals, influencing a variety of outcomes from mental health to cardiometabolic disease. This study aims to assess the relationships between various sleep phenotypes and blood metabolites. Utilizing data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos, we performed association analyses between 40 sleep phenotypes, grouped in several domains (i.e., sleep disordered breathing (SDB), sleep duration, timing, insomnia symptoms, and heart rate during sleep), and 768 metabolites measured via untargeted metabolomics profiling. Network analysis was employed to visualize and interpret the associations between sleep phenotypes and metabolites. The patterns of statistically significant associations between sleep phenotypes and metabolites differed by superpathways, and highlighted subpathways of interest for future studies. For example, some xenobiotic metabolites were associated with sleep duration and heart rate phenotypes (e.g. 1H-indole-7-acetic acid, 4-allylphenol sulfate), while ketone bodies and fatty acid metabolism metabolites were associated with sleep timing measures (e.g. 3-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), 3-hydroxyhexanoylcarnitine (1)). Heart rate phenotypes had the overall largest number of detected metabolite associations. Many of these associations were shared with both SDB and with sleep timing phenotypes, while SDB phenotypes shared relatively few metabolite associations with sleep duration measures. A number of metabolites were associated with multiple sleep phenotypes, from a few domains. The amino acids vanillylmandelate (VMA) and 1-carboxyethylisoleucine were associated with the greatest number of sleep phenotypes, from all domains other than insomnia. This atlas of sleep-metabolite associations will facilitate hypothesis generation and further study of the metabolic underpinnings of sleep health.

Abstract
RATIONALE The mechanisms underlying major depressive disorder (MDD) in children and adolescents are unclear. Metabolomics has been utilized to capture metabolic signatures of various psychiatric disorders; however, urinary metabolic profile of MDD in children and adolescents has not been studied. OBJECTIVES We analyzed urinary metabolites in children and adolescents with MDD to identify potential biomarkers and metabolic signatures. METHODS Here, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to profile metabolites in urine samples from 192 subjects, comprising 80 individuals with antidepressant-naïve MDD (AN-MDD), 37 with antidepressant-treated MDD (AT-MDD) and 75 healthy controls (HC). We performed orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis to identify differential metabolites and employed logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic analysis to establish a diagnostic panel. RESULTS In total, 143 and 71 differential metabolites were identified in AN-MDD and AT-MDD, respectively. These were primarily linked to lipid metabolism, molecular transport, and small molecule biochemistry. AN-MDD additionally exhibited dysregulated amino acid metabolism. Compared to HC, a diagnostic panel of seven metabolites displayed area under the receiver operating characteristic curves of 0.792 for AN-MDD, 0.828 for AT-MDD, and 0.799 for all MDD. Furthermore, the urinary metabolic profiles of children and adolescents with MDD significantly differed from those of adult MDD. CONCLUSIONS Our research suggests dysregulated amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism in the urine of children and adolescents with MDD, similar to results in plasma metabolomics studies. This contributes to the comprehension of mechanisms underlying children and adolescents with MDD.

Zhu H, Shen F, Wang X, Qian H, Liu Y. Chlorogenic acid improves the cognitive deficits of sleep-deprived mice via regulation of immunity function and intestinal flora. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 123:155194. [PMID: 37995532 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep deprivation (SD) has become a global health concern with serious consequences containing memory deficits and gastrointestinal dysfunctions. The gut-brain axis serves as a crucial link between the brain and gut, and the utilization of chlorogenic acid (CGA) presents a compelling strategy for mitigating or potentially resolving various neuroinflammation-associated disorders. However, it is still unknown how CGA may interact with the gut, microbiota and the brain during SD. PURPOSE This study aims to explore the therapeutic effect and underlying mechanism of microbiota-gut-brain axis by which CGA prevents SD-induced cognitive deficits. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS CGA (30, 60 mg/kg.bw.) was gavaged to C57BL/6 mice, and then they were submitted to 48-h SD. The cognitive and spatial learning abilities were investigated through behavioral tests. Furthermore, we explored the action mechanism of this compound with haematological analysis, histopathological examination, Western blot, ELISA and 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing from colonic contents. RESULTS The cognitive deficits induced by SD were significantly relieved by administration of CGA in a dose-dependent manner. The hematoxylin and eosin staining of hippocampus and colon tissues indicated that pretreatment of CGA not only protected brain tissue from SD, but also maintained intestinal integrity. In the hippocampus, the increased pro-inflammatory neurometabolites were significantly prevented by CGA, and an immune profile capable of hippocampal-dependent spatial memory was improved via Nrf2/PPAR signaling pathways. The observed immunomodulatory effect was concomitant with augmentation of the intestinal barrier, as evidenced by the heightened expressions of tight junction proteins. 16S rRNA analysis of colonic contents revealed that levels of Clostridia_UCG-014 and lipopolysaccharide were significantly inhibited, and those of Lactobacillus and intestinal tight junction proteins were upregulated in the CGA group. Pathways of ko05322 (immune disease) and ko04610 (immune system) were significantly regulated by CGA. Based on PICRUSt2 algorithm, CGA probably influenced gut microbial functions via several metabolism pathways, such as arginine biosynthesis, pyrimidine metabolism and purine metabolism. CONCLUSION The present study first proved the efficacy and mechanism of CGA in alleviating SD-induced cognitive impairment and neuroinflammation via creating a systemic protection, a bidirectional communication system connecting the gut with the brain. The intestinal barrier improvement and the reshaped "SD microbiota" profiles restored immunity functions, which were probably the main contributors to Nrf2/PPAR activation and the neuroprotective effect of CGA. Overall, this work provided novel insights of CGA, which might guide the more reasonable clinical use of CGA in the pathogenesis of sleep-related disorders.

Abstract
Narcolepsy is a chronic and underrecognized sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy. Furthermore, narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) has serious negative impacts on an individual's health, society, and the economy. Currently, many sleep centers lack the means to measure orexin levels in the cerebrospinal fluid. We aimed to analyze the characteristics of metabolite changes in patients with NT1, measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A principal component analysis (PCA), an orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), t tests, and volcano plots were used to construct a model of abnormal metabolic pathways in narcolepsy. We identified molecular changes in serum specimens from narcolepsy patients and compared them with control groups, including dehydroepiandrosterone, epinephrine, N-methyl-D-aspartic acid, and other metabolites, based on an OPLS-loading plot analysis. Nine metabolites yielded an area under the receiver operating curve > 0.75. Meanwhile, seven abnormal metabolic pathways were correlated with differential metabolites, such as metabolic pathways; neuroactive ligand‒receptor interaction; and glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism. To our knowledge, this is the first study to reveal the characteristic metabolite changes in sera from NT1 patients for the selection of potential blood biomarkers and the elucidation of NT1 pathogenesis.

Abstract
Aim The treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is still a worldwide problem due to the unclear pathogenesis and lack of effective therapeutic targets. In recent years, metabolomic and gut microbiome changes in patients with AD have received increasing attention, and the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) axis has been proposed as a new hypothesis for its etiology. Considering that electroacupuncture (EA) efficiently moderates cognitive deficits in AD and its mechanisms remain poorly understood, especially regarding its effects on the gut microbiota, we performed urinary metabolomic and microbial community profiling on EA-treated AD model mice, presenilin 1/2 conditional double knockout (PS cDKO) mice, to observe the effect of EA treatment on the gut microbiota in AD and find the connection between affected gut microbiota and metabolites. Materials and methods After 30 days of EA treatment, the recognition memory ability of PS cDKO mice was evaluated by the Y maze and the novel object recognition task. Urinary metabolomic profiling was conducted with the untargeted GC-MS method, and 16S rRNA sequence analysis was applied to analyze the microbial community. In addition, the association between differential urinary metabolites and gut microbiota was clarified by Spearman's correlation coefficient analysis. Key findings In addition to reversed cognitive deficits, the urinary metabolome and gut microbiota of PS cDKO mice were altered as a result of EA treatment. Notably, the increased level of isovalerylglycine and the decreased levels of glycine and threonic acid in the urine of PS cDKO mice were reversed by EA treatment, which is involved in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, as well as glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism. In addition to significantly enhancing the diversity and richness of the microbial community, EA treatment significantly increased the abundance of the genus Mucispirillum, while displaying no remarkable effect on the other major altered gut microbiota in PS cDKO mice, norank_f_Muribaculaceae, Lactobacillus, and Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136 group. There was a significant correlation between differential urinary metabolites and differential gut microbiota. Significance Electroacupuncture alleviates cognitive deficits in AD by modulating gut microbiota and metabolites. Mucispirillum might play an important role in the underlying mechanism of EA treatment. Our study provides a reference for future treatment of AD from the MGB axis.

Abstract
Insufficient sleep is becoming increasingly common and contributes to many health issues. To combat sleepiness, caffeine is consumed daily worldwide. Thus, caffeine consumption and sleep restriction often occur in succession. The gut microbiome can be rapidly affected by either one's sleep status or caffeine intake, whereas the synergistic effects of a persistent caffeine-induced sleep restriction remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the impact of a chronic caffeine-induced sleep restriction on the gut microbiome and its metabolic profiles in mice. Our results revealed that the proportion of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes was not altered, while the abundance of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria was significantly decreased. In addition, the content of the lipids was abundant and significantly increased. A pathway analysis of the differential metabolites suggested that numerous metabolic pathways were affected, and the glycerophospholipid metabolism was most significantly altered. Combined analysis revealed that the metabolism was significantly affected by variations in the abundance and function of the intestinal microorganisms and was closely relevant to Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. In conclusion, a long-term caffeine-induced sleep restriction affected the diversity and composition of the intestinal microbiota in mice, and substantially altered the metabolic profiles of the gut microbiome. This may represent a novel mechanism by which an unhealthy lifestyle such as mistimed coffee breaks lead to or exacerbates disease.

Abstract
Background Agarwood, as a traditional Chinese medicine, has great potential value for the treatment of tranquilization. However, its potential mechanisms and biomarkers are still unclear. Methods In this study, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS)-based metabonomics was adopted to discover the potential biomarkers in mice after agarwood incense smoke (AIS) intervention. Furthermore, the chemical components in agarwood were identified based on UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS. The global view of potential compound-target-pathway (C-T-B) network was constructed through network pharmacology to understand the potentially material basis of biomarkers. Results Metabolic profiling indicated that the metabolic changed significantly in mice serum after AIS intervention. A total of 18 potential biomarkers closely related to insomnia and emotional disease were identified, mainly involving in tryptophan metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism and steroid hormone biosynthesis pathways. A total of 138 components in agarwood were identified based on UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS. The results showed that mainly compounds such as flidersia type 2-(2-phenylethyl) chromones (FTPECs) and sesquiterpenes exerted good docking abilities with key target proteins, which were involved in multiple diseases including depression and hypnosis. Conclusion In conclusion, this study enhanced current understanding of the change of metabolic markers after AIS intervention. Meanwhile, it also confirmed the feasibility of combining metabolomics and network pharmacology to identify active components and elucidate the material basis of biomarkers and mechanisms.

Abstract
Background Given the clinical low efficient treatment based on mono-brain-target design in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and an increasing emphasis on microbiome-gut-brain axis which was considered as a crucial pathway to affect the progress of AD along with metabolic changes, integrative metabolomic signatures and microbiotic community profilings were applied on the early age (2-month) and mature age (6-month) of presenilin1/2 conditional double knockout (PS cDKO) mice which exhibit a series of AD-like phenotypes, comparing with gender and age-matched C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) mice to clarify the relationship between microbiota and metabolomic changes during the disease progression of AD. Materials and methods Urinary and fecal samples from PS cDKO mice and gender-matched C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) mice both at age of 2 and 6 months were collected. Urinary metabolomic signatures were measured by the gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometer, as well as 16S rRNA sequence analysis was performed to analyse the microbiota composition at both ages. Furthermore, combining microbiotic functional prediction and Spearman’s correlation coefficient analysis to explore the relationship between differential urinary metabolites and gut microbiota. Results In addition to memory impairment, PS cDKO mice displayed metabolic and microbiotic changes at both of early and mature ages. By longitudinal study, xylitol and glycine were reduced at both ages. The disturbed metabolic pathways were involved in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, pentose and glucuronate interconversions, starch and sucrose metabolism, and citrate cycle, which were consistent with functional metabolic pathway predicted by the gut microbiome, including energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, glycan biosynthesis and metabolism. Besides reduced richness and evenness in gut microbiome, PS cDKO mice displayed increases in Lactobacillus, while decreases in norank_f_Muribaculaceae, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, Mucispirillum, and Odoribacter. Those altered microbiota were exceedingly associated with the levels of differential metabolites. Conclusions The urinary metabolomics of AD may be partially mediated by the gut microbiota. The integrated analysis between gut microbes and host metabolism may provide a reference for the pathogenesis of AD.

Abstract
Depression is a widespread and persistent psychiatric disease. Due to various side effects and no curative treatments of conventional antidepressant drugs, botanical medicines have attracted considerable attention as a complementary and alternative approach. The pathogenesis of depression is quite complicated and unclear. Metabolomics is a promising new technique for the discovery of novel biomarkers for exploring the potential mechanisms of diverse diseases and assessing the therapeutic effects of drugs. In this article, we systematically reviewed the study of botanical medicine for the treatment of depression using metabolomics over a period from 2010 to 2019. Additionally, we summarized the potential biomarkers and metabolic pathways associated with herbal medicine treatment for depression. Through a comprehensive evaluation of herbal medicine as novel antidepressants and understanding of their pharmacomechanisms, a new perspective on expanding the application of botanical medicines for the treatment of depression is provided.
