Charting Unknown Metabolic Reactions by Mass Spectrometry-Resolved Stable-isotope Tracing Metabolomics

ABSTRACT: Metabolic reactions play important roles in live organisms such as providing energy, transmitting signals, and synthesizing biomacromolecules. Charting unknown metabolic reactions in cells is hindered by limited technologies, restricting the holistic understanding of cellular metabolism. Using the mass spectrometry-resolved stable-isotope tracing metabolomics, we developed an isotopologue similarity networking strategy, namely IsoNet, to effectively deduce new metabolic reactions. The strategy uncovered ~300 new metabolic reactions in living cells and mice. Specifically, we elaborately charted the metabolic reaction network related to glutathione, unveiling three previously unreported reactions nestled within glutathione metabolism. Among these, a transsulfuration reaction, synthesizing gamma-glutamyl-seryl-glycine directly from glutathione, underscored the role of glutathione as a sulfur donor. Functional metabolomics studies systematically characterized biochemical effects of new reactions in glutathione metabolism, showcasing their diverse functions in regulating cellular metabolism. Overall, these newly uncovered metabolic reactions fill gaps in the metabolic network maps, facilitating exploration of uncharted territories in cellular biochemistry.

Transcription profiling by array of Mycobacterium smegmatis response to nitrogen stress using bipartite active modules

Project description:BACKGROUND: The ability to adapt to environments with fluctuating nutrient availability is vital for bacterial survival. Although essential for growth, few nitrogen metabolism genes have been identified or fully characterised in mycobacteria and nitrogen stress survival mechanisms are unknown. RESULTS: A global transcriptional analysis of the mycobacterial response to nitrogen stress, showed a significant change in the differential expression of 16% of the Mycobacterium smegmatis genome. Gene expression changes were mapped onto the metabolic network using Active Modules for Bipartite Networks (AMBIENT) to identify metabolic pathways showing coordinated transcriptional responses to the stress. AMBIENT revealed several key features of the metabolic response not identified by KEGG enrichment alone. Down regulated reactions were associated with the general reduction in cellular metabolism as a consequence of reduced growth rate. Up-regulated modules highlighted metabolic changes in nitrogen assimilation and scavenging, as well as reactions involved in hydrogen peroxide metabolism, carbon scavenging and energy generation. CONCLUSIONS: Application of an Active Modules algorithm to transcriptomic data identified key metabolic reactions and pathways altered in response to nitrogen stress, which are central to survival under nitrogen limiting environments.

A systems biology-based approach to deciphering the etiology of steatosis employing patient-derived dermal fibroblasts and iPS cells

Project description:We demonstrate how a multidisciplinary approach encompassing cellular reprogramming, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, modeling, network reconstruction and data management can be employed to unveil the mechanisms underlying the progression of steatosis. Proteomics revealed reduced AKT/mTOR signaling in fibroblasts derived from steatosis patients and further establishes that the insulin-resistant phenotype is present not only in insulin-metabolizing central organs, e.g. the liver, but is also manifested in skin fibroblasts. Transcriptome data enabled the generation of a regulatory network based on the transcription factor SREBF1, linked to a metabolic network of glycerolipid and fatty acid biosynthesis including the downstream transcriptional targets of SREBF1 which include LIPIN1 (LPIN) and low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). Glutathione metabolism was among the pathways enriched in steatosis patients in comparison to healthy controls. By using a model of the glutathione pathway we predict a significant increase in the flux through glutathione synthesis as both gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase and glutathione synthetase have an increased flux. The transcriptomes of dermal fibroblasts derived from two patients with steatosis (60 yr, male BMI 45.7 (H0008) and 33 yr, female, BMI 51.3 (H0007)) and control fibroblasts (19 yr, female, BMI 21, (H0002)) were analyzed. Total RNA obtained from dermal fibroblasts derived from two patients with steatosis (60 yr, male BMI 45.7 (H0008) and 33 yr, female, BMI 51.3 (H0007)) and control fibroblasts (19 yr, female, BMI 21, (H0002)).

Specificity and dynamics of H2O2 detoxification by the cytosolic redox regulatory network as revealed by in vitro reconstitution

Project description:The thiol redox state is a decisive functional characteristic of proteins in cell biology. Plasmatic cell compartments maintain a thiol-based redox regulatory network linked to the glutathione/glutathione disulfide couple (GSH/GSSG) and the NAD(P)H system. The basic network constituents are known and in vivo cell imaging with gene-encoded probes have revealed insight into the dynamics of the [GSH]2/[GSSG] redox potential, H2O2 and NAD(P)H+H+ in dependence on the metabolic and environmental conditions. Highly limited is our understanding of the contribution and interaction of the components in the network, also because of compensatory reactions in genetic approaches. Reconstituting the cytosolic network in vitro from fifteen recombinant proteins at in vivo concentrations, namely glutathione peroxidase-like (GPXL), peroxiredoxins (PRX), glutaredoxins (GRX), thioredoxins (TRX), NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase A (NTRA) and glutathione reductase (GR) and applying GRX1-roGFP2 or roGFP2-ORP1 as dynamic sensors, allows for monitoring the response to a single H2O2 pulse. The major change in thiol oxidation as visualized by targeted proteomics occurred in relevant peptides of GPXL, and to a lesser extent of PRX, while other Cys-containing peptides only showed small changes in redox state and protection. Titration of ascorbate peroxidase (APX2) into the system together with dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR1) lowered the oxidation of the fluorescent sensors in the network, but was unable to suppress it. The results demonstrate the power of the network to detoxify H2O2, the partially independent branches of electron flow with significance for specific cell signaling and the importance of APX to modulate the signaling without suppressing it and shifting the burden to glutathione oxidation.

Activity motifs reveal principles of timing in transcriptional control of the yeast metabolic network

Project description:Significant insight about biological networks arises from the study of network motifs –overly abundant network subgraphs, but such wiring patterns do not specify when and how potential routes within a cellular network are used. To address this limitation, we introduce activity motifs, which capture patterns in the dynamic use of a network. Using this framework to analyze transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism, we find that cells use different timing activity motifs to optimize transcription timing in response to changing conditions: forward activation to produce metabolic compounds efficiently, backward shutoff to rapidly stop production of a detrimental product and synchronized activation for co-production of metabolites required for the same reaction Measuring protein abundance over a time course reveals that mRNA timing motifs also occur at the protein level. Timing motifs significantly overlap with binding activity motifs, where genes in a linear chain have ordered binding affinity to a transcription factor, suggesting a mechanism for ordered transcription. Finely timed transcriptional regulation is therefore abundant in yeast metabolism, optimizing the organism's adaptation to new environmental conditions.

RNA-seq profiles of C. elegans with various dietary conditions and gene perturbations related to vitamin B12 metabolism

Project description:Genome-scale metabolic network models (MNMs) can be used with a mathematical modeling tool called flux balance analysis to gain insights into metabolism at a systems level. Such models represent metabolism of an organism as a whole and do not automatically reveal how the flux overall is wired, i.e., which reactions carry flux, and which do not, and measuring flux at a large scale is challenging. Enzyme levels, as proxied by mRNA levels, can be used to predict reaction fluxes. However, integrating gene expression data with MNMs only partly constrains flux models. Here, we derive how metabolism is wired in unperturbed animals using a large-scale Worm Perturb-Seq dataset. We present a highly constrained, semi-quantitative optimal flux distribution that reflects how metabolism is wired in the animal at the adult stage. We discover several features about C. elegans metabolism that were heretofore unknown, including cyclic flux through the pentose phosphate pathway, and the primary use of amino acids and bacterial RNA as an energy source, all of which we validated by isotope tracing. Our strategy for inferring metabolic wiring based solely on gene expression should be applicable to a variety of systems, including human cells. This dataset includes the RNA-seq profiles collected during the proof-of-concept studies on the metrics used for predicting flux wiring from Worm Perturb-Seq dataset. It includes three sets of data: the profiles of animals fed live versus paraformaldehyde-killed (PFA killed) bacteria; the profiles of gene knockdowns in propionate degradation metabolism under a gradient of vitamin B12 supplementation; and the profiles of gene knockdowns in Met/SAM cycle under vitamin B12 and choline supplementations.

Raw data for manuscript : "Serine synthesis via reversed SHMT2 activity drives glycine depletion and acetaminophen hepatotoxicity in MASLD"

Project description:Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects one third of the global population. Understanding metabolic pathways involved can provide insights into disease progression and treatment. Untargeted metabolomics of livers from mice with early-stage steatosis uncovered decreased methylated metabolites, suggesting altered one-carbon metabolism. The levels of glycine, a central component of one-carbon metabolism, were lower in mice with hepatic steatosis, consistent with clinical evidence. Stable-isotope tracing demonstrated that increased serine synthesis from glycine via reverse serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is the underlying cause for decreased glycine in steatotic livers. Consequently, limited glycine availability in steatotic livers impaired glutathione synthesis under acetaminophen-induced oxidative stress, enhancing acute hepatotoxicity. Glycine supplementation or hepatocyte-specific ablation of the mitochondrial SHMT2 isoform in mice with hepatic steatosis mitigated acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity by supporting de novo glutathione synthesis. Thus, early metabolic changes in MASLD that limit glycine availability sensitize mice to xenobiotics even at the reversible stage of this disease.

An Integrated Metabolic Atlas of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Project description:Changes in cellular metabolism contribute to the development and progression of tumors, and can render tumors vulnerable to interventions. However, studies of human cancer metabolism remain limited due to technical challenges of detecting and quantifying small molecules, the highly interconnected nature of metabolic pathways, and the lack of designated tools to analyze and integrate metabolomics with other âomics data. Our study generates the largest comprehensive metabolomics dataset on a single cancer type, and provides a significant advance in integration of metabolomics with sequencing data. Our results highlight the massive re-organization of cellular metabolism as tumors progress and acquire more aggressive features. The results of our work are made available through an interactive public data portal for cancer research community. 10 RNA samples from human ccRCC tumors analyzed from the high glutathione cluster

Chromatin capture defines AHCY as regulator of pluripotent stem cells proliferation

Project description:Profiling of the proteome bound to the chromatin in a simple, direct and reliable manner might result key to uncover the role of unpredicted chromatin factors in physiology and disease. We have developed a biochemical strategy named iChrock to capture the chromatin in a single purification step that provides a global view of the cellular chromatome and enables the identification of chromatin-bound proteins de novo. Integrating iChrock with genomic and functional data, we have unveiled the unexpected chromatin function of Adenosylhomocysteinase (AHCY), a major one-carbon pathway metabolic enzyme, in gene activation. Our study reveals a new regulatory axis between the metabolic state of pluripotent cells, ribosomal protein production and cell division during early phase of embryo development, by favoring the metabolic flux of methylation reactions in a local milieu.
