Project description:Mass spectrometry is the current technique of choice in studying drug metabolism. High-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) in combination with fragment analysis (MS/MS) has the potential to contribute to rapid advances in this field. However, the data emerging from such fragmentation spectra pose challenges to downstream analysis, given their complexity and size. Here we apply a molecular networking approach to seek drugs and their metabolites, in fragmentation spectra from urine derived from a cohort of 26 patients on antihypertensive therapy. In total, 165 separate drug metabolites were found and structurally annotated (17 by spectral matching and 122 by classification based on a clustered fragmentation pattern). The clusters could be traced to 13 drugs including the known antihypertensives verapamil, losartan and amlopidine. The molecular networking approach also generated networks of endogenous metabolites, including carnitine derivatives, and conjugates containing glutamine, glutamate and trigonelline. The approach offers unprecedented capability in the untargeted identification of drugs and their metabolites at the population level and has great potential to contribute to understanding stratified responses to drugs where differences in drug metabolism may determine treatment outcome.

Project description:<p>The rising consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), linked to multiple health risks, underscores the need to characterise the chemical profile of formulated and processed goods to improve their quality and safety. This study aims to develop untargeted approaches based on LC-HRMS and LC-HRMS/MS, coupled with feature-based molecular networking (FBMN), to explore, for the first time, the chemical reactivity within a well-characterised UPF-like food matrix (sponge cake). Three controlled baking conditions were applied to the formulated cake to induce thermal reactivity and generate diverse chemical profiles. Principal component analysis and heatmap clustering of untargeted LC-HRMS data from cake extracts were able to effectively discriminate samples based on the thermal process intensity. Approximately 75% of the detected features were indeed involved in the reactivity. FBMN revealed different groups of compounds (including precursors and advanced products) associated with Maillard and caramelisation reactions, and helped annotation of several reaction markers. This is the first application of FBMN on widely consumed processed foods such as baked products, opening new perspectives for generating high-throughput untargeted data to annotate reaction markers from complex food matrices.</p>

Project description:In this study we performed microarray-based molecular profiling of liver samples from Wistar rats exposed to genotoxic carcinogens (GC), nongenotoxic carcinogens (NGC) or non-hepatocarcinogens (NC) for up to 14 days. In contrast to previous toxicogenomics studies aimed at the inference of molecular signatures for assessing the potential and mode of compound carcinogenicity, we considered multi-level omics data. Besides evaluating the predictive power of signatures observed on individual biological levels, such as mRNA, miRNA and protein expression, we also introduced novel feature representations which capture putative molecular interactions or pathway alterations by integrating expression profiles across platforms interrogating different biological levels.
