Application of Metabolomics Inside the body of living organisms including humans, For instance, in sickness, dietary, or environmental changes, metabolites in the living organisms (i.e., in the there exist small molecules such as amino acids, blood, urine, tissue, etc.) also change accordingly. Observation of these changes is useful for discovery of sugars, and organic acids. Most of these substances biomarkers, metabolites showing disease-specific rise and fall: we can use them to diagnose diseases, and are “metabolites” produced through enzymatic activi- also for revealing the elucidation of action mechanisms of medications, and evaluation of phenotypic effects ties. The methodology to analyze molecular species or by genetic mutations and abnormal protein function on metabolism. In the areas of APIs, fermentation, and concentrations of many metabolites at once is either production of food materials, metabolomics is expected to complement insufficiency of data pertaining to called “metabolome analysis” or “metabolomics.” product quality which gene- or protein-based assessment do not go far enough to provide. This is because Metabolites interact with each other through “metabo- metabolomics visualizes comprehensive status of low-molecular-weight compounds in samples. lism,” chemical reaction networks in living organisms. As seen in the medical field, a variety of fields including the agricultural, dietetics, environmental sciences, Metabolites produced by certain substances also as well as the chemical industries, have also found metabolomics to be a very useful tool. Examples of uses serve as precursors for subsequent reactions. are: screening of substances in agricultural and Comprehensive profiling of metabolites helps us moni- livestock products, optimization of growth condi- tor dynamics of the metabolism, and provides us with tions, evaluations in selective breeding, investigation an even better understanding of the life phenomenon. of correlations between savor and components and discovery of novel functional compounds. The range of fields to which metabolomics can be applied continues to grow. HMT is well positioned to utilize its wealth of experience in metabolome analysis in What is CE-MS? order to contribute to breakthroughs in R&D in a variety of fields. There are thought to be at least 3,000 species of metabolites between 50 to 1,000 Daltons of Metabolome Analysis molecular mass, so individual analysis of each metabolite is too time-consuming to cover the Medicine entire metabolism.

  • Integrated Proteomics and Metabolomics Reveals The
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Integrated proteomics and metabolomics reveals the comprehensive characterization of antitumor mechanism underlying Shikonin on colon cancer patient‑derived xenograft model Yang Chen1, Juan Ni2,3,4, Yun Gao2,3,4, Jinghui Zhang1, Xuesong Liu1, Yong Chen1, Zhongjian Chen2,3,4* & Yongjiang Wu1* Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignancy occurring in the digestive system. Despite progress in surgery and therapy options, CRC is still a considerable cause of cancer mortality worldwide. In this study, a colon cancer patient‑derived xenograft model was established to evaluate the antitumor activity of Shikonin. The protective efect underlying Shikonin was determined through assessing serum levels of liver enzymes (ALT, AST) and kidney functions (BuN, Scr) in PDX mice. Proteomics and metabolomics profles were integrated to provide a systematic perspective in dynamic changes of proteins and global endogenous metabolites as well as their perturbed pathways. A total of 456 diferently expressed proteins (DEPs), 32 diferently expressed metabolites (DEMs) in tumor tissue, and 20 DEMs in mice serum were identifed. The perturbation of arginine biosynthesis, purine metabolism, and biosynthesis of amino acids may mainly account for therapeutic mechanism of Shikonin. Furthermore, the expression of mRNAs participating in arginine biosynthesis (CPS1, OTC, Arg1) and do novo purine synthesis (GART, PAICS, ATIC) were validated through RT-qPCR. Our study provides new insights into the drug therapeutic strategies and a better understanding of antitumor mechanisms that might be valuable for further studies on Shikonin in the clinical treatment of colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer (CRC), a digestive system tumor, is currently the third most common malignant cancer worldwide1.

  • (Ser.) Baill at Altitude Gradient of the Tibetan Plateau by Physiologic
    Zhao et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:451 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-5778-y RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access The adaptation strategies of Herpetospermum pedunculosum (Ser.) Baill at altitude gradient of the Tibetan plateau by physiological and metabolomic methods Yong Zhao1†, Fuling Xu1†, Jia Liu2, Fachun Guan3,4, Hong Quan4 and Fanjuan Meng1* Abstract Background: Herpetospermum pedunculosum (Ser.) Baill is annual scandent herbs. They are used in the treatment of piles, inflammation of the stomach and the intestines. It can survive the extreme environment of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). However, the underlying mechanisms of this adaptation to H. pedunculosum from TP remain unclear. Here, we combined physiological and metabolomics methods to analyze H. pedunculosum response to altitude gradient differences. Results: At high altitude, increases in the activities of Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), Glutathione reductase (GR), Dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), Superoxide dismutase (SOD) have been observed in leaves. Total Glutathion content, total Ascorbate content and the ASA (ascorbic acid)/ docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ration were highly elevated from low altitude to high altitude. In addition, high altitude induces decrease of the Anthocyanidin content (ANTH) and increase of abscisic acid content (ABA). The GC-MS analyses identified of 50 metabolites from leaves of H. pedunculosum. In addition, a metabolic network was constructed based on metabolomic datasets using a weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) approach. The network analysis uncovered 4 distinguished metabolic modules highly associated with I, II, III and IV respectively. Furthermore, the analysis successfully classified 50 samples into seven groups: carbohydrates, amino acids, organic acids, lipid components, polyamine, secondary metabolism and others.

The results showed that most of the 142 metabolites responded to salt stress or exogenous Spd treatment. Salt stress reduced carbon consumption, resulted in the transformation of glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle to the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), and meanwhile increased salicylic acid (SA) and ethylene synthesis, and, thus, inhibited the growth of seedlings. However, exogenous Spd further improved the utilization of carbon, the energy-saving pattern of amino acid accumulation, and the control of hydroxyl radicals. In conclusion, Spd could promote energy metabolism and inhibit SA and ethylene synthesis in favor of root growth that contributes to higher salt tolerance.
